Phoenix Awakens
The exchange of Mind Stone is like the Eastern idiom "a dream of wealth and glory"—what seems like a fleeting moment to outsiders may have been pondered and processed a thousand times in one's consciousness.
It is said that sincerity is the most touching thing. Professor X, who opened his whole Mind Stone, finally made Jean Grey realize his good intentions and understand the cause and effect of everything. He also learned the purpose that the alien leader inadvertently revealed when he was unconscious after his power was drained.
Especially the last one!
He doesn't mind giving up powers that don't belong to him to help homeless aliens rebuild their homes. But the price can't be Earth, can't be the place where he grew up, and can't be exchanging all the living beings on Earth for the aliens' new home.
So he had to rebel, as X-Men member Jean Grey.
Awakening from a deep slumber of escape, Jean Grey opened her eyes. Although the other Mutants had been freed...
But in reality, the devices that suppress the heterozygous gene have never stopped.
However, the power he is using now is not purely from the X-gene. Therefore, the limiter is unable to function and he is simply reduced to ashes.
Jean Grey controlled her body to float into the air, looking down at everyone with a godlike posture. Her expression was empty, except for her eyes, which were resolute and bright.
Looking at the awakened Qin, Vuko simply said, "You promised to transfer all your power to me."
"Yes, I did agree before I knew your plans. But why do you think I would agree to something like this when it involves Destroy the Earth?"
"Then I'll have to take it myself. The outcome won't be any different." Vuko stated coldly, as if stating a fact.
The clash between the two vessels of the Phoenix Force may seem like a trivial matter to them, but to the outside world it is nothing short of earth-shattering.
No one knows how much of the Phoenix Force Vuko absorbed, or perhaps it makes sense to distribute this power proportionally.
However, the truth is that while Deberry's leader, Vuko, did gain some additional abilities through the Phoenix Force, they were nowhere near as powerful as Jean Grey, who had just awakened and was already influencing the real world.
Under Qin's influence, the train veered off the tracks. It spun in the air like a twisted rope, and the strips of sheet metal it had torn into looked like outstretched tentacles, piercing through the Dibery aircraft that were cruising around it.
Vuko, caught in the throes of the chaos, was also wrung out like a rag, his entire body twisted and deformed. Only the Mutants soldiers were protected, all enveloped in bubble-like structures, isolated from the spinning and twisting outside.
All aircraft within a certain range were wiped out without exception. Even those Diberians who got too close and tried to get back onto the train were pierced by the extended metal tentacles and lost their lives.
Only Vuko, twisted into a pretzel shape, did not die. He remained conscious and began to contact the mothership stranded in near-Earth orbit.
The Diberi Warship broke through the atmosphere in one breath and arrived above the battle site. Immediately afterward, a ground-attack cannon shot was fired, with a diameter of several hundred meters, which not only destroyed the train but also caused severe scorching marks in the area.
The train was only rotten, not completely vaporized, because the power of the lyre was protecting it. The same was true for those he protected; everyone remained safe and sound within those seemingly fragile bubbles.
However, taking a hit from a starship cannon is no easy task, especially for Jean, who is not yet familiar with using the power within her body.
Although the attack managed to protect everyone, the crowd was inevitably scattered by the blow, and the protective barrier that had been set up was also broken.
The bushes ignited by the energy of the naval guns, and the burning wreckage of the train, provided illumination for the Mutants and U.S. military soldiers at night.
The Switzerland, who had gathered from all directions, along with the single-person aircraft released again from the air combat fleet, attacked the remaining humans.
Their mission was simple: kill everyone here, or at least find a way to distract them, allowing their leader to face the target alone and seize the full Cosmic Rays energy.
Faced with a full-scale attack from an entire warship, both Mutants and U.S. military soldiers were in grave danger.
They were just a bunch of miserable infantrymen, and infantrymen who were short of ammunition. But even if they were given plenty of ammunition,
It is also insufficient to deal with the more technologically advanced weapons of the Diberians, who are still in a combined air and ground offensive posture.
The fact that they were able to survive and desperately hold their ground shows that the Mutants have performed beyond their normal capabilities. In this situation, the U.S. military soldiers who are skilled at dealing with Mutants are just a burden who need protection from others.
Having returned to his original form, Vuko still used a human-like appearance to approach Jean Grey.
The fact that humanity has been able to persevere is largely due to Qin, the master of telekinesis.
Even if he weren't the original version, he wouldn't be able to control the entire situation, but unfortunately, the Phoenix Force within him was simply too strong. What Qin needs to do is get used to using this power to perform more precise operations.
After all, if he exerts too much effort, not only will he be able to shield humanity from attacks from both the air and the ground, but humanity itself will also be affected and thus erased from reality.
Therefore, Jean Grey had to hold back her power to protect people, which is why others still got hurt.
Vuko aims to disrupt this balance. Just as the Diberians conquer the universe, those who cherish their comrades will inevitably experience despair due to the death or injury of their companions. This vulnerability in their Mind Stone will become their opportunity to seize power.
Therefore, Vuko was not in a hurry, but instead gradually pressed forward against the preoccupied Jean Grey, putting pressure on her.
The Diberians possessed both numerical and tactical advantages. Vuko believed that they could resolve everything before the planet's native Reinforcements arrived.
Because of the Mind Stone power amplified by the Phoenix Force, Vuko was able to predict what would happen next and seek the most advantageous course of action.
But he overlooked one existence—an existence that no one in this universe can understand, not even the three ancient powers.
Even the immortal Phoenix had never encountered such a being.
A Krypton that has been exposed to the Yellow Sun... insane.
The Clown-Sup reappears, carrying a radio on his shoulder, playing Queen's famous 3/4 time song, "We Will Rock You."
With a flamboyant gait, strictly following the rhythm of "foot, foot, clap," he strolled in, seemingly slow but actually fast.
As a man who should have his own background music, Clown-Sup finally found the reason why his whole body was acting strangely: he was missing a powerful entrance track.
So he made a special trip to a nearby town to "borrow" the radio and found a suitable cassette tape to play.
Listening to the music, he couldn't help but sigh, "Sure enough, watching a live movie gives you an immersive experience, but without the right high-energy soundtrack, it's no wonder I can't get into the spirit of it all; music is essential."
With the power of the battle song, he felt his Buffer level soaring, almost enough to kill Phoenix with a single punch!
