Thor: What, I Have Three Moms?
Too weak!
Beyond the universe, the Phoenix spreads its wings, its fiery feathers supporting countless universes, each scattered spark enough to extinguish and reignite a star.
Before Him lay a completely charred body.
Thor's gleaming silver armor had completely melted under the intense heat, and even Mjolnir, forged from Uru Steel, was destroyed by a power beyond the laws of nature the instant it came into contact with the Phoenix flames.
He gave Thor a chance, but it was clear that Thor was not ready to become his host.
Originally, a presumptuous creature like Thor, unable to withstand His power, would only meet one end: becoming a pitiful ashes.
But this time He showed mercy.
He's still breathing, but whether he lives or dies depends on whether Thor can pull through.
Violence!!!
The boundless firebird once again let out a cry that shook the Multiverse, flapped its wings, and departed into the depths of nothingness.
The Contradiction, transcending time, arrived beside Thor. Looking at Thor, now completely decayed, emitting only the last embers of heat like charred remains, it frowned deeply. "Whether we succeed or not depends on this."
He had long known that Thor could neither intercept the Phoenix nor become Phoenix complete host.
Perhaps in the future, but Thor isn't qualified yet.
From beginning to end, he had only one goal—to give Thor a portion of the Phoenix's power.
Although it is far from the full Phoenix Force, it is much more controllable.
Now, it remains to be seen whether Thor can pull himself back from the brink of death. If he succeeds, he will be reborn, and the remaining Phoenix Force will erupt from every cell in his body, bringing about a transformation in his life.
It failed...
Doctor Paradox had no choice but to flee with Thor's corpse.
Thor knew nothing about this.
He had no idea that Doctor Paradox had essentially tricked him, making him gamble his life on something impossible.
His consciousness sank into the cold darkness.
Fragments of his long-forgotten infancy seared his last senses: the icy caves of Jotunheim, the suffocating despair in the biting cold, and then... a warm golden flame enveloped him, dispelling death.
But that flame, the life-saving flame in his memory, he felt it with perfect clarity at this moment—of the same origin and essence as the Phoenix fire that burns everything. There was no pity, no choice; it was simply part of the cold, rudimentary workings of the universe, flowing through a dying infant at that very moment.
In the void, only the Phoenix's flames burn Eternity.
"It's not impossible to accomplish."
Doctor Paradox muttered to himself.
"Thor, your first breath was the flame of the Phoenix; it merely flowed through your body, yet it saved your life."
This is a fragment he found in countless moments of time and history.
Thor Odinson.
He had a father with boundless divine power, and also three mothers.
He was born in the body of Flamebringer, the former host of the Phoenix Force, gestated in the body of the ancient god Gaia, and grew up under the loving care of the goddess Frigga.
It is precisely because of this connection that Doctor Paradox believes Thor can succeed.
He and Thor floated in the boundless void, waiting for an unknown amount of time, until the charred corpse had completely cooled and the sparks had been extinguished.
But the Contradiction revealed a hint of joy.
"The old things have burned out, and it's time to rekindle the new fire."
As he finished speaking, Thor's body lit up as if by magic.
Endless Phoenix flames erupted from that charred body!
Wow!
The sound of flames burning echoed in the void.
The black, charcoal-like substance became the outer shell of the newborn Thor, and as firelight ignited from the cracks, Thor was reborn from the ashes!
He radiated golden light, flames swirling around him like clouds, and the melted armor had somehow reappeared on his body.
At this moment, Thor became majestic and silent, like Odin.
His piercing gaze fixed on the boundless universe. He stretched out his palm, and amidst the raging Mother Storm Death, Storm, was reborn. Mjolnir, under the Phoenix Force, took on a faint golden hue.
The bright red cloak behind him vanished into nothingness at that moment.
It flows like a cloak of flames, or like the wings of Phoenix in full bloom.
He is none other than Thor, the Phoenix Apostle!
"Doctor Paradox, let's continue our pursuit of the Phoenix," Thor said solemnly, looking down at his palm, the energy within him unbelievably powerful.
"I feel like I can control Him now!"
He even felt that he might be stronger than Ben.
This is not an illusion.
Aside from Alien X, Ben's watch contains no power capable of rivaling the Phoenix Force.
Conversely, to reach the same level as Thor, the Phoenix Apostle, one would at least need to be a hero who has merged with Alien X.
"Don't let power blind you, Thor," Contradiction reminded him.
"The Phoenix Force is a difficult power to control; what you have awakened now is only a tiny fraction of it."
"If you become blindly arrogant because of this power, you will ultimately become the Phoenix's puppet. The flames within you will consume your mind from within, and then, through your own hands, bring destruction to the world."
Thor lowered his head and remained silent.
He didn't think what Contradiction said was correct.
The immense power had overwhelmed his mind, making him feel invincible.
Seeing this, Contradiction could only say, "Don't forget your days as a mortal, Thor."
Thor snapped out of his daze.
A look of lingering fear crossed his face.
He was once arrogant and naive, believing that his military strength was enough to suppress the Nine Realms. He was stubborn, reckless, and warlike, which led to those tragedies.
Now that he has gained a portion of the Phoenix's power, those foolish thoughts have returned to his mind, and this time they are even more terrifying.
Because his power has increased, his destructive and destructive forces are also more terrifying.
This made Thor feel ashamed.
I felt like I hadn't grown at all, and I almost repeated the same mistakes.
"Repeating the same mistakes is part of being human," Contradiction said with a smile.
Humans always make the same mistake again and again.
You're right.
Thor nodded.
He only possesses enough power to be called a god.
In terms of intellect, he may not even be as wise as the wise among ordinary people.
He gave up chasing the Phoenix, but his gaze remained fixed on the direction Phoenix had gone, and he asked, "So it will go to Legerdomain?"
Contradiction Affirmation: "There lies the vessel He Himself chose."
"Who?"
Thor asked, and the only people he could think of in Legerdomain were the Energy of the Universe and the Asgardian had moved there.
He certainly didn't want the Phoenix to bring destruction to Asgard.
"Neither Anodite nor Asgardian," Contradiction chuckled, uttering a name.
"..."
"Yes, it's you, Hope."
The White Queen looked at the Charmcaster and sighed, "You will become the host of the Phoenix Force and then save us Mutants."
