Chapter 392
Now is a great opportunity; if she can't overcome her psychological barriers, Storm will die.
Save?
Or not to save them?
Jean Grey gritted her teeth. She felt that Su Quan wouldn't really ignore Storm, but she didn't dare to gamble!
As Storm drew ever closer to the ground, she knew she had to make a decision.
No, we absolutely have to save them!
The reason she didn't want to use the Phoenix Force was actually quite simple: she was wary of the Phoenix Force and also of the Dark Phoenix.
Although she knew that Su Quan's Phoenix Force was gentle, her long-standing fear still made her very resistant!
No one knows how she spent countless nightmarish nights, no one knows how terrified she was by the appearance of the Dark Phoenix.
That feeling of being unable to control oneself is truly awful.
She knew the Phoenix Force was powerful, but if she had a choice, she would rather not have the Phoenix Force and live an ordinary life!
"Call..."
She let out a long breath, and Jean Grey's eyes hardened.
"Boom!"
A powerful Phoenix Force erupted from Jean Grey with a violent force, generating a strong impact that blew Professor X and Shadowcat away.
Golden-red energy transformed into a pair of dazzling energy wings behind Jean Grey, lifting her into the air and catching the falling Storm.
Jean Grey, with her golden-red energy wings spread in mid-air, looked just like a phoenix rising from the ashes against the backdrop of flames!
The two landed slowly. Storm nodded to Jean Grey and then looked at Su Quan.
"Leave the rest to me," Jean Grey said considerately, then flapped her wings and flew towards Proteus.
"Boom!"
The Phoenix Force and the psionic energy clashed, producing a hissing, crackling sound.
Storm helped the professor up, signaled Shadowcat to protect him, and then went to check on Colossus and the others.
The situation is not optimistic!
No, this should be said to be the most devastating loss since the X-Men were founded.
Colossus, who had lost an arm, had been restored from a two-dimensional figure to his original form, but... he was dead!
Iceman was seriously injured.
The Human Torch and Petra were on the verge of death.
The grief fueled Storm's anger. She stood before Su Quan and demanded bitterly, "Colossus is dead! All because you stood by and did nothing!"
Su Quan wasn't angry; he knew that given Storm's temper, she was already being quite restrained.
"Speak up! Why aren't you saying anything? Aren't you usually very talkative?" Storm shouted at Su Quan when he remained silent.
Su Quan slowly asked, "Am I a member of the academy?"
Storm paused, then gritted her teeth and said, "No, but you've always lived at the academy."
Su Quan ignored him and continued to ask, "Am I Colossus's friend?"
"No."
Am I X-Men?
"No."
Am I your nanny?
No, it's not.
"That settles it then." Su Quan shrugged. "This is the professor's battle, your battle. I already intervened to stop the missile from exploding, didn't I?"
"Helping you is a favor, not helping you is my right. Just because I didn't help, you're blaming me for his death?"
"Besides, I did help, but I didn't protect your safety like a nanny does."
Storm opened her mouth. What Su Quan said made sense. Colossus's death was indeed not his fault, but why was she still so angry and felt that she was still blaming him?
"And what about me... If Jean doesn't save me, will you save me?" Storm couldn't help but ask.
Su Quan laughed and said, "I haven't even gotten you yet, how could I let you really die in front of me?"
Storm snorted.
She didn't realize that Su Quan said he wouldn't let her die, but he didn't say he would save her!
With the Dionysus Factor and the Phoenix Force, Su Quan has long since broken the boundary between life and death.
If Su Quan is unwilling, Storm will not die even if she is determined to die!
"If I bring Colossus back to life, will you still be angry?" Su Quan asked with a smile, putting his arm around Storm's waist.
PS: The picture is of Boom-Boom.
Storm looked up at Su Quan and asked incredulously, "You, are you serious?"
"If you don't believe me, that's fine too."
Su Quan feigned disappointment as he let go of her hand, and Storm, without a second thought, hugged him back.
"It's not that I don't believe you, but death... death and resurrection is just too horrifying."
That ending tone is so expressive, is Storm being coquettish?
Good guy, I call him good guy!
"You can accept the Multiverse, you can accept Reality Warping, but you can't accept being resurrected?"
"In the end, you still don't believe me!"
Having finally managed to get Storm to back down and even have some real intimate contact, Su Quan naturally wanted to press on and take this opportunity to completely win Storm over.
Storm wasn't stupid; she could naturally guess that Su Quan was deliberately putting on airs and trying to take advantage of her. But she had just been angry and suspicious, which gave him the opportunity.
If you want to save Colossus, you have no choice but to bow your head.
Besides... Storm herself was willing!
If Su Quan hadn't been so greedy, and with Jean Grey's concern, the usually straightforward Storm would have already become a benevolent Guanyin or an old tree.
"As long as you can bring Colossus back to life, I'll agree to any condition you set, is that alright?" Storm finally gave a definite answer after much hesitation.
Su Quan smiled and said that he got off easy, then threw the Phoenix Force into Colossus's body.
The Phoenix Force is the embodiment of life and Psychic Power. Even if Colossus's body is still there, or even if he is reduced to ashes and not a trace is left, he can still Full Health Resurrection!
"Bang!"
Golden-red Phoenix Force surged and blossomed within Colossus's body.
The overwhelming vitality not only revived Colossus, but also allowed her severed arm to grow back.
The newly grown arm is exactly the same as the original one.
Colossus was one of the Phoenix Apostles in the comics, and now he has been granted the Phoenix Force by Su Quan, which is quite fitting!
It may seem that Su Quan contributed a portion of the Phoenix Force, but in reality, the more Phoenix Apostles there are, the stronger his Phoenix Force will become.
Moreover, he also managed to get Storm as a result.
Secondly, he will definitely take Storm and Jean Grey with him, but they grew up in the academy and have a strong sense of justice and compassion. If he doesn't address their concerns, even if they are willing to leave with him, they will reluctantly choose to stay.
With Colossus possessing the Phoenix Force and becoming Phoenix Apostle, he naturally has the ability to protect the Academy and take care of the professors, allowing them to leave with peace of mind.
Su Quan killed several birds with one stone!
"Enough!"
Proteus, whom Su Quan had almost forgotten, suddenly shouted and, taking advantage of Jean Grey's momentary distraction, turned around and charged towards Su Quan.
Although Su Quan stated that he would not interfere as long as there was no provocation, isn't it a bit too much for you to be talking about love while I'm fighting to the death here?
This is fucking disrespectful to me!
Besides...
You don't interfere in the battle, but you guide Jean Grey and revive Colossus. What's the difference between that and interfering?
No!
This is worse than direct intervention!
You've resurrected all the people I killed, so what's the point of me fighting anymore?
This is what it means to kill someone by destroying their spirit, isn't it?
Proteus finally understood that Jean Grey was not easy to deal with; her energy could ignore his abilities.
