Chapter 598
Although the totem is small, it has the posture of spreading its wings and soaring high!
The other Debari people instinctively stepped back, but Smith remained where he was, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Su Quan asked again, "Do you want it?"
Do you want it?
Remove the word "?"
This is the Phoenix Force, one of the most powerful forces in the universe. If he could obtain the Phoenix Force, he would have the power to protect his people and lead them to start anew!
But...
This is the Phoenix Force! Who would just give away such a powerful force for no reason?
There's a conspiracy.
There must be a conspiracy.
Smith shook his head. "I know what this is. No one would willingly give up such immense power, so..."
"Do you want it?"
That same phrase again!
This guy is definitely messed up. The Phoenix Force, does he really not want it?
Smith had initially assumed the other party was plotting something, but now he was less certain.
Who would plot something like this?
They came up without asking or saying anything, and immediately offered to give away the Phoenix Force, even asking three times!
Is this a conspiracy?
This is clearly a calculated scheme!
Unable to figure out what the other party was thinking, Smith hesitated. In fact, whether it was a conspiracy or an open scheme, as long as he ignored it, he would not be fooled.
However, the allure of the Phoenix Force is too great. Although there are certain risks involved, if one were to obtain the Phoenix Force, all the risks and sacrifices would be worthwhile!
"Hoo..." Smith let out a long breath and asked seriously, "What do I need to give in return?"
Su Quan looked around and said with a faint smile, "From now on, your entire clan will work for me!"
"You want to incorporate us Debari people?" Upon hearing the other party's request, Smith was not angry or furious; instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing the other party's purpose makes things much easier!
I don't know what they were thinking, that they were willing to use the Phoenix Force to exchange for the loyalty of the Debari people.
It's like having heavy firepower and being able to easily gain the other party's loyalty, but instead choosing to trade that heavy firepower to the other party in exchange for their loyalty.
Once heavy firepower is in the enemy's hands, will they still keep their promise to be loyal to you?
They might just turn the tables and use heavy firepower to force you to pledge allegiance to the other side.
Strength is the only truth!
What naive and foolish Earthlings...
"I can agree to your conditions, but you must first hand over the Phoenix Force to me."
Smith agreed and then made his own demands.
Su Quan said with a half-smile, "It's possible, but you have to guarantee that you will keep your promise after obtaining the Phoenix Force, otherwise your entire clan will be wiped out!"
"I promise!"
Smith made the guarantee without hesitation, but he was skeptical in his heart. "I have obtained the Phoenix Force. Who can wipe out my entire clan?"
"Good!"
The 'naive' Su Quan seemed to have no qualms and directly believed the other party's assurance.
Then...
With a backhand flick, he directly injected the Phoenix Force into Smith's body.
At the same time, Smith began to absorb the Phoenix Force.
"Buzz!"
Flame-like energy waves shone on Su Quan and Smith, and within the waves, the Phoenix Force surged rapidly from Su Quan's body into Smith's.
Specks of light appeared on Smith's face, reflecting his excited and frenzied expression.
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Drop reward: Energy Absorption (Smith)"
As the sound of rewards dropping rang out, the Phoenix Force had already settled into Smith's body.
"Bang!"
With a deafening roar of surging energy, Smith, with a phoenix totem appearing behind him, floated in mid-air, excitedly feeling the powerful force within his body!
"Too strong... too strong... it's really too strong..."
Smith muttered excitedly to himself.
Su Quan curled his lip. "Look at you, so naive. Alright, get ready to come back to Earth with me."
Smith watched Su Quan land slowly, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "We will go to Earth, because it will become Badri people new home."
Su Quan frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Smith sneered, "It's nothing, I just wanted to let you know that we are very grateful for your contribution to the future of the Badri people."
Su Quan shouted, "Are you going to break your promise?"
"No, the Badri people will still work for you, but I will take your place!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Smith's body and appearance changed, and in just a few moments, he had transformed into Su Quan's appearance.
At first glance, the two are exactly the same size!
"Good!"
"Very good!"
"This is your choice, your choice?"
Su Quan clapped and cheered, seemingly laughing in anger, but in reality—he was genuinely laughing!
I gave you the opportunity, but you didn't seize it, so don't blame me!
Seeing the smug Smith and the other excited Badri people, Su Quan suddenly calmed down.
"Do you know why I so easily gave you the Phoenix Force? It's not because I trust you, but because..."
"I am the Phoenix Force!"
The moment the words left his mouth, a loud boom was heard, and the Phoenix Force within Smith's body suddenly erupted uncontrollably.
The towering Flame Form into a phoenix, sealing Smith's fate and his hopes. In the blink of an eye, Smith, who could Absorb Energy and possessed an extremely strong Self-Healing Ability, turned to ashes, becoming a reservoir of life and emotions for Afterlife.
Then, the fiery phoenix spread its wings and soared into the sky, emitting Mind Stone -stirring cries, as it charged toward the other Badri people.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Flames rose up, and figures of Human Torch swayed in the breeze.
When the Phoenix Force returned to Su Quan's body, Badri people on the spaceship had turned to ashes. Apart from the various abilities they had lost and the spaceship itself, there was no trace of their existence left in this world!
PS: The plot got a little stuck during this transitional phase. After returning to the Marvel Mainstream Universe, the story should then focus on the Time Variance Authority.
Su Quan did not use entrapment tactics. If Smith had chosen to abide by the agreement, he would have indeed accepted these Badri people. After all, their numbers were not large, and with his considerable power, he could easily manage them.
The Badri people really brought this upon themselves...
After waving his hand to retrieve the Badri people's spaceship, Su Quan returned to the Void Island and had someone bring Margaret over.
Although Margaret was just an ordinary person without any abilities, to Su Quan, whether she had abilities or not was completely unimportant, because he could instantly turn any ordinary person into a universe-level powerhouse!
Upon first meeting the mastermind behind the scenes, Margaret appeared calm and composed, but was actually very nervous inside.
The naive girl of yesteryear has transformed into a mature and capable social elite. She knows very well who gave her everything she has now, so she has always maintained her integrity and worked hard, waiting for this day.
Result...
This wait lasted for ten years!
A gentle breeze stirred, and the clear water in the pool flowed gently. Leaning against the poolside, Su Quan looked at the Model Sister in a white dress and nodded in satisfaction.
Margaret's looks aren't outstanding, but her figure is quite good. Coupled with her mature and capable temperament, she is very eye-catching.
Some people are at their peak of charm at eighteen or nineteen, while others are most attractive at twenty-eight or twenty-nine.
Margaret was the latter!
