Ignoring All Obstacles, Dark Phoenix Charged Toward the Throne on the Top Floor
The mental strangulation suddenly subsided, but the mark of being dominated by absolute power was more profound than any torture, as if it had been etched into the deepest part of the soul with a red-hot iron.
Jean Grey suddenly opened her eyes.
She lay amidst the twisted wreckage of the Blackbird, the cold metal beneath her, but she felt nothing. Her eyes, once clear or crazed, now held only one emotion.
A morbid obsession that grows abnormally amidst extreme pain and the fear of being conquered.
That man...
In her Mental World, that tyrant sits atop Throne of bones and Scarlet!
That master who used chains of Chaos and death to strangle her Phoenix soul, and with the coldest, most unquestionable attitude, declared to her what "rules" truly meant!
fear?
No.
Hatred?
Not even close.
When the gap in power is so great that it shatters cognition, when that violence and tyranny precisely match the Phoenix Force's deepest destructive and admiration for strength, all that remains is a moth drawn to a flame... fanaticism and devotion!
He... found him.
She had finally found that one, the one qualified to control her, the one qualified to hold this power that made the universe tremble in her hands... God!
"Oh..."
A very soft laugh, a mixture of pain and supreme joy, escaped from Jean Grey's chapped lips.
She slowly sat up from the metal ruins.
This action instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the square.
"She's not dead?" Susan clutched her chest, breathing heavily, her eyes filled with disbelief. She had exhausted the entire energy supply of the Baxter Building just to barely withstand that woman's attack, and the woman had gotten back up as if nothing had happened?
Gwen Stacy knelt on the ground, protecting Charles behind her. Her white battle suit was covered in scorch marks and bloodstains. She tensed all her muscles vigilantly, like a cheetah ready to pounce again at any moment.
On the other side, Hela crossed her arms, a sneer playing on her lips, her eyes filled with disdain, as if she were watching an amusing drama unfold.
Only Wanda's pupils contracted sharply the moment she saw Jean Grey get up!
Scarlet Chaos Energy, like boiling magma, rose from her body once more, and her beautiful eyes were filled with undisguised jealousy and murderous intent!
However, what happened next stunned everyone.
Jean Grey stood up, but didn't look at any of them.
She didn't even glance at Susan, whom she had severely injured, nor at Gwen Stacy, who had stolen her "prey," nor at Wanda and Hela, with whom she had just fought a life-or-death battle.
It was as if these four top-tier experts, capable of making the earth tremble, were nothing more than dust on the roadside in her eyes, not worthy of even the slightest attention from her.
Her gaze pierced through the billowing smoke, through the distorted air, ignoring all obstacles...
They locked onto the top floor of the Barks AT Building with absolute certainty!
That direction...
It's Lynn!
"What does she want?!" Wanda's teeth were clenched so tightly that they were grinding together. The humiliation of being ignored and the rage of having her territory coveted were intertwined, almost burning away her reason.
Jean Grey did not answer.
She simply lifted her foot and slowly took a step forward.
With one step, the metal wreckage beneath her feet silently melted into a pool of golden liquid.
Dark Gold flames reignited on her body.
But this time, it was no longer the violent, chaotic, and all-consuming state it had been before.
The flames became incredibly solid and pure, like some kind of liquid gold with life, clinging tightly to her body and outlining her graceful curves.
Her long, fiery red hair moved without wind, and against the backdrop of the flames, it resembled a burning Nebula.
Her pretty face, stained with blood, now wore an almost sacred, eerie smile.
It was the smile of a fanatical believer, about to embark on their journey to God's kingdom!
"Found you..."
She murmured softly, in a voice only she could hear.
The next second.
A soul-piercing scream, higher and sharper than ever before, echoed throughout Manhattan!
Jean Grey's figure, under everyone's gaze, suddenly transformed into a Dark Gold meteor that pierced through the heavens and earth!
She did not fly.
She turned herself into a... cannonball!
A living cannonball, Negasonic Teenage Warhead by the Phoenix Force and fueled by her complete obsession and possessiveness towards that man, determined to pierce through everything and reach the finish line!
"Boom--!!!"
The meteor shot up from the ground, and its terrifying kinetic energy instantly pressed the ground ten meters in radius beneath her feet into a deep, glassy crater!
She completely ignored the four women in the square, each with a different expression, ignoring their anger, jealousy, and murderous intent.
In her world, there was only one goal left.
The top floor of the Baxter Building, that Throne that belongs to her!
She wanted to tear down the door that was blocking her way with her own hands!
She would personally drag the man who dared to enslave her off the Throne!
Then...
She locked him tightly within her Phoenix fire sea, burning away every trace of other women's scent that clung to him!
Make him my personal... estate!
"Stop her!"
Wanda let out a hysterical scream, Scarlet Chaos Chain shot into the sky, attempting to entangle the Dark Gold meteor.
Hela frowned, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes. With a casual wave of her hand, hundreds of jet-black Night Sky Sword shot out from the sky, forming a net of swords that blocked the meteor's path.
However, it didn't work!
That Dark Gold meteor didn't even flinch or slow down in the slightest!
"Sizzle--"
Wanda's Chaos Chain were burned into nothingness particles the instant they touched the meteor, by the purest and most destructive energy!
"Jingle bells!"
Hela's Night Sky Sword was as fragile as a sheet of paper in front of that meteor, easily shattered and turned into countless black specks of light!
Crush!
A complete and utter crushing defeat, without any regard for reason!
At this moment, the Dark Phoenix focused all her power on one point. She had only one goal: anything that dared to stand between her and her "Deity" would be mercilessly burned and smashed!
In the square, for the first time, both Wanda and Hela showed an expression of disbelief and shock.
Their pride and joy were... completely ignored?
This crazy woman unleashed such terrifying, reckless power just to get to Lynn!
This obsession... this madness...
It made them feel a deep-seated... jealousy!
The top floor of the Baxter Building.
Lynn stood quietly in front of the broken French window, the wind whipping his black hair across his forehead. In his deep eyes, the dazzling, Dark Gold light was reflected, growing larger and larger.
He could feel it.
The light contained no murderous intent.
It was a possessiveness that was more twisted and more intense than murderous intent.
It seems that the "lesson" just now was more effective than expected.
This unruly Firebird, instead of being scared away, went completely mad.
"That's interesting."
A cold smile slowly curved the corners of Lynn's lips.
At that very moment.
"Buzz--"
That Dark Gold shooting star was already within reach!
The terrifyingly high temperature, even before it touched the building, caused the sturdy Special Alloy on the top floor's exterior walls to emit a blinding red light, showing signs of melting.
The air in the office was instantly sucked out, and the temperature soared to several thousand degrees.
"Click... click..."
The massive floor-to-ceiling window, made of ultra-strong composite materials and capable of withstanding a direct hit from a missile, began to show fine, spiderweb-like cracks on its surface.
The cracks spread rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
A piercing, ear-piercing scream, as if the glass had been squeezed to its limit, echoed throughout the entire top floor!
Immediately afterwards.
Under Lynn's calm and unwavering gaze.
"Boom--!!!!!"
The floor-to-ceiling windows shattered with a deafening roar!
Countless shards of glass, burning with Dark Gold flames, rained down like a shower of flowers, scattering wildly into the office!
Following closely behind was that incinerating force, powerful enough to instantly melt Vibranium...
Cosmic-level destructive flames!
The raging flames transformed into a gigantic Firebird with outstretched claws, carrying a ferocious aura capable of tearing the heavens apart. It pierced through the broken window and lunged fiercely at the lone figure standing before the Throne!
