Phoenix Force Descends! The Universe's Strongest Roast Bird
The edge of the Solar System.
The cry disregarded the vacuum and shattered dozens of meteorites along its path.
A massive golden firebird flapped its fiery wings, which stretched for millions of kilometers, and traversed space, instantly descending upon the outer edge of Earth's atmosphere.
It was merely the residual heat emanating from its body.
In Earth's orbit, the energy shields of 100,000 Viltrum battleships began to alarm wildly. Even the fifty Marvel Celestials had to mobilize Cosmic Energy to resist the terrifying heat capable of melting galaxies.
On the ground, the seawater began to boil, and the city ruins showed signs of melting under the high temperature.
Standing between the Firebird's brows is a woman with flowing red hair—Jean Grey, now completely corrupted.
In this totalitarian Mutants universe, she had long since lost her humanity and become a puppet of destruction for the Phoenix Force.
"Heresy."
Jean Grey's eyes, burning with golden flames, were fixed on Jiang Li on Earth below.
Her voice is a cosmic echo that resonates with countless men, women, young and old.
"You have tampered with the universe's underlying code. You have broken the boundary between life and death."
Verdict: Burn to ashes.
Boom!!!
No nonsense.
The Phoenix Force opened its beak, large enough to devour planets, and a pure, cosmic flame capable of reducing all matter to its fundamental particles transformed into a golden pillar of fire that spanned the void, hurtling straight toward Jiang Li!
If this flame were to land, the entire Earth would be burned into cosmic dust within 0.1 seconds.
"Burn me?"
Jiang Li deactivated his [Ultimate Alien X] form.
Faced with this cosmic fire capable of burning gods to ashes, he neither dodged nor avoided it, but instead let out an extremely fanatical laugh.
"I was just starting to feel this earth was a bit cold. Perfect timing!"
Jiang Li slammed his left hand onto the Omnitrix!
"System! Forced dual-gene fusion!"
Snap!
A blinding green light shot into the sky again, colliding violently with the falling golden pillar of fire!
[Ding! Command confirmed!]
[Loaded Gene 1: Ultimate Feedback (Feedback)! Traits: Infinite Energy Absorption and Reflection!]
[Loaded Gene 2: Ultimate Omnipotent Kryptonian Doomsday! Traits: Stellar Energy, Extreme Physical Resistance!]
[Dual fusion complete!]
A burst of light erupted.
The golden pillar of fire, powerful enough to destroy the Earth, did not destroy everything as Jean Grey had predicted.
Instead, the pillar of fire mysteriously stopped a hundred meters above the ground.
It's like... something forcibly blocked the water outlet!
The epicenter of the fire.
He was still covered in dark gold Doomsday bone spikes, but the difference was that dozens of thick black energy plugs had grown from his ten fingers, the top of his head, and even his back!
The demon god spread his arms, letting the terrifying Phoenix fire wash over his body.
"Cool!"
Jiang Li let out a satisfied roar.
Doomsday's cells instantly evolved extreme heat resistance in the flames; Kryptonian genes greedily devoured the stellar energy contained within the flames.
What's most bizarre is the energy plugs on his body that belong to the [Feedback]!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle--!!!
The Phoenix Flame did not destroy Jiang Li.
Instead, it transformed into the purest liquid energy, flowing wildly into his body through all the plugs on his body!
The watch face on Jiang Li's chest was flashing green light wildly, and his energy reserves were soaring exponentially!
In the original story, the Feedback could swallow the energy of the Big Bang in one gulp. Now, with Krypton and Doomsday as its physical vessels, absorbing a Phoenix is like drinking a beverage with a pump!
"It tastes good, but it's a little too hot to eat."
Jiang Li floated in the pillar of fire, his ten fingers spread open.
He not only passively endured the burning, but actively exerted his strength!
Buzz!!!
The dozens of energy plugs on Jiang Li's body unleashed a terrifying suction force.
In mid-air, a massive energy vortex appeared. The boundless golden sea of fire was forcibly torn apart, and like rivers flowing into the sea, it was continuously absorbed into Jiang Li's body!
"How... is this possible?!"
Outer space.
Standing between the Firebird's brows, Jean Grey's usually cold and aloof face finally showed a hint of fear.
She sensed it.
The Phoenix Force is not attacking, it is being plundered!
That grayish-white monster was like a bottomless black hole. Not only was it unharmed, it was even devouring the Phoenix's essence!
Visibly visible to the naked eye.
The cosmic firebird with a wingspan of millions of kilometers began to shrink rapidly under Jiang Li's frantic absorption!
The flames dimmed. The Phoenix Force emitted a mournful cry.
It was afraid! For the first time in its life, this ancient cosmic force felt the fear of being eaten!
"What exactly are you?!"
Jean Grey screamed, desperately trying to cut off the energy output and create distance.
"Trying to run?"
Jiang Li looked up, a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes.
"The plug is already in. How can I unplug it if I don't drain all your electricity?"
Jiang Li kicked off with both legs.
Boom!
He braved the pillar of fire, going against the current! In an instant, he broke through the atmosphere and charged straight at the shrinking firebird.
He reached out with both hands.
Two thick, black plugs were forcefully inserted directly into the firebird's energy core!
"Suck it!!!"
Sizzle sizzle--!!!
An even more frenzied absorption began.
The firebird let out a horrifying scream that shattered space, its body collapsing at a visible speed. The golden light on Jean Grey faded rapidly, and her skin even showed signs of withering.
If Jiang Li continues to absorb it like this, the Phoenix Force will be completely drained in less than ten seconds, turning it into a dead bird!
"No... I will never be devoured by you!"
In Extremis, the Phoenix Force's destructive instincts went completely berserk.
Since we can't escape, and since we can't win...
Then let's all perish together!
Jean Grey gave up struggling; her eyes became lifeless.
The immense remaining energy of the entire firebird ceased to leak out at this moment, instead frantically collapsing and compressing towards its core!
A point of light, tens of thousands of times more terrifying than a Nova explosion, lit up on the Firebird's chest.
A self-destruction due to extreme heat in the universe!
It intends to destroy this Solar System, using its absolute destructive power to drag Jiang Li Hell with it!
"Trying to self-destruct?"
Sensing the energy within the other person collapsing, Jiang Li stopped absorbing it.
He hovered in space, watching the Phoenix about to explode, his face showing no sign of panic.
Jiang Li's right hand, covered in bone spurs, reached into the void.
"Perfect timing. I just finished eating and need to digest."
Sizzle--!
He drew out a longsword that radiated a cold, scarlet light and was powerful enough to cut through dimensions!
[The Ascalon Holy Sword]!
Jiang Li held the sword in one hand
"Since you don't want to be a power bank anymore..."
"Then I'll personally deliver you to the afterlife!"
In deep space, temperatures are soaring exponentially.
The enormous Phoenix had folded its wings, frantically collapsing inward the destructive energy surrounding it—energy powerful enough to incinerate galaxies.
It's going to self-destruct!
He slowly raised the [Ascalon Holy Sword], which radiated a scarlet, cold light. This absolute weapon, which had once shattered the DC Source Wall, trembled violently and emitted a bloodthirsty hum after sensing god-level energy.
