Chapter 597
The X-Men universe.
Void Island.
A dazzling teleportation portal suddenly lit up in front of the palace, and the guards responsible for protecting the palace rushed over immediately, seeing Su Quan and the others filing out of the Teleportation Portal.
"Owner?"
"You're finally back!"
Angel Salvadore flapped his wings and quickly arrived in front of Su Quan, his face full of excitement and joy.
For the people of this world, Su Quan has been gone for a full ten years. For Su Quan, however, the frequent travels through different worlds and different times have caused his sense of time and concept of time to become completely confused.
Therefore, he does not base his judgment on time, but on experience!
The various experiences during this period truly gave Su Quan a feeling of long separation and a sense of being in another world upon his return.
Incidentally, Su Quan time-traveled precisely at the ten-year mark. If the time flow were normal, it wouldn't have been exactly ten years!
Ten years have brought about tremendous changes to Void Island. In addition to the ever-changing architecture and environment, what surprised Su Quan the most was the number of people on the island.
Including both Mutants and humans, the total number is over 80,000...
What does 80,000 people mean?
In the sparsely populated United States, more than 80,000 people is equivalent to the population of a medium-sized city.
Void Island could be called Void City.
Su Quan's return ignited the enthusiasm of the island's people. Before long, the entire island was filled with the sounds of gongs and drums, the crackling of firecrackers, the waving of red flags, and a sea of people...
It was incredibly lively and noisy!
Upon learning of Su Quan's return, core members such as X Factor, X-Force, and Void Guard rushed over from various places as quickly as possible.
A grand gathering!
Su Quan sat atop the steps in front of the palace, looking down at the bustling crowd below, and a sense of pride welled up within him.
Dozens, even hundreds, of well-known heroes or villains, and more than 80,000 basic combatants with mutant abilities—who else in the Marvel universe can be so unique?
"With so many people, is that enough for you?" Su Quan turned his head and asked the White Queen with a smile.
The White Queen chuckled and nodded, then asked in a low voice, as if understanding, "Are we going back?"
"It's time to go back."
"Don't forget, our initial goal was to replace the Super Soldier with Mutants, and then focus on taking over the Time Variance Authority."
Now that the title of controller of the Multiverse Timeline has been proclaimed, it can't remain a mere figurehead forever, can it?
It's time for the Time Variance Authority to change hands and establish a new regime.
The White Queen nodded and asked, "How long do I have?"
"About a week."
The White Queen nodded. A week was enough time for her to arrange everything. After all, she knew from the beginning that she would leave this place one day in the future, so she had made many preparations in advance!
The next day, early morning.
Su Quan woke up amidst the sea of people, and while getting dressed and washing up, he sensed the movements beyond Earth.
Solar flare.
Alien Model Sister.
These were the last two things he was interested in in this world.
Judging by the timing, a solar flare should be appearing soon. Once the solar flare appears, aliens will follow closely behind and descend upon Earth to seize the Phoenix Force within Jean Grey.
Of course, this is in a movie.
In reality, Su Quan has no intention of letting aliens descend to Earth. After all, what he is really interested in is the leader of the aliens, Smith, who looks like Model Sister.
The so-called "Model Sister" is actually named Margaret, and she currently works at the Hellfire Club.
It is currently uncertain whether the alien Smith possessed her body after arriving on Earth, or whether he killed her and took her place.
If it's the latter, Su Quan won't be very interested, since he's attracted to Margaret's looks rather than Smith's abilities.
Even with his ability to shapeshift, Absorb Energy, possess strong Self-Healing Ability, and manipulate Psychic Abilities, Smith wouldn't be considered outstanding, let alone exceptional, among Su Quan's subordinates.
If it's a Margaret watch and a Smith watch, then it's worth buying!
"Buzz—"
In the dazzling Milky Way, a fiery red solar flare is rapidly moving towards Earth.
The Psychic Power sensed it immediately!
"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early."
Su Quan gave his reflection in the mirror a faint smile, then teleported directly to the front of the solar flare.
Boom!
The bright, blinding solar flare struck Su Quan directly.
The surging energy penetrated into Su Quan's body, and then a huge phoenix totem, accompanied by flames that seemed to be real, appeared behind Su Quan.
"Buzz!"
The powerful Absorption Ability erupted instantly, and the energy of the solar flare was instantly drawn in and completely devoured by the Phoenix Force!
Absorb!
Absorb!
Absorb!
Devour!
Devour!
Devour!
The solar flare in front of Su Quan was like a giant black hole, continuously swallowing the surging energy!
In the movie, Jean Grey, who is on a space mission, is struck by a solar flare, which passively activates the Phoenix Force within her, allowing her to survive. However, she is also unable to suppress the Phoenix Force and eventually becomes the Dark Phoenix.
Now that it's Su Quan's turn, he doesn't feel any sense of crisis or danger at all.
The Phoenix Force's absorption speed is far faster than the impact speed of the solar flare. The energy of the solar flare will be absorbed by the Phoenix Force before it even gets close.
Su Quan allowed the Phoenix Force to devour him on its own, releasing his Psychic Power once again.
A few minutes later.
The solar flare disappeared, and all the energy was absorbed by the Phoenix Force. Su Quan also sensed the person he was looking for!
Alien, Smith.
Smith and the other aliens were on a spaceship when, through Psychic Power feedback, they discovered a solar flare and the Phoenix Force that had absorbed it—which was themselves.
That makes perfect sense!
If they were too far away, it would be impossible for them to follow closely behind to Earth in the movie and clearly target Jean Grey.
"The Debari people..."
Through his Psychic Power, Su Quan had already learned the identities of these aliens.
He actually knew a little about the Debari people.
The Debari people live on the fourth planet in the Debali system and belong to the Shi'ar Empire, one of the three major empires in the Marvel Universe.
This race is a humanoid plant with green skin similar to that of the Skrulls, white eyes, and no irises. Because of their resemblance to asparagus, they are also known as the "Asparagus People".
Smith, also known as Walker or Star Hammer, is the guardian of the Debari people.
Now that the Debari people's planet has been destroyed and most of the Debari people have died, only Smith has managed to lead a small group of his people to escape by chance, and they are preparing to find a new place to live.
"Call out--"
Su Quan appeared on the Debari people's spaceship with great fanfare, instantly making the Debari people, who had just witnessed what he had done, nervous.
"We are Debari people. My name is Smith, you can also call me Walker or Star Hammer. I am the captain of this ship."
"Earthling, what is your name?"
Compared to the other Debari people, Smith was remarkably calm. He took a few steps forward to Su Quan, speaking first with a composed and somewhat enigmatic air.
"Do you want it?"
Su Quan's first words stunned Smith: "I asked you what your name is, will you answer me if I want to?"
What kind of answer is this...?
Is your name "Want"?
"I don't understand what you mean. Is this... is this your name?" Smith asked hesitantly.
Su Quan raised his hand, and the Phoenix Force, like flames, instantly condensed into a miniature phoenix totem above his palm.
