As Qin finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the square.
Thor frowned slightly, looking down at the little one in his arms who was still sucking his fingers, a hint of disbelief in his eyes for the first time.
He does indeed possess two Phoenix Force.
One was a loot he casually picked up after killing the Dark Phoenix Mystique; it was pure, powerful, and had its own consciousness.
The other is the Phoenix Force he created himself after comprehending the Phoenix Law, based on his own divine power; it is unique to him and has no consciousness.
He rarely bothered to use these two powers, just like the Chaos Magic he left gathering dust in a corner—pure collectibles.
But to everyone's surprise, this power that he had completely suppressed and contained deep within his divine body was actually sensed by a little guy who was only a little over a year old and still wearing diapers.
This talent... their future is limitless!
Thor's mind raced, and the way he looked at Rachel changed.
This is no longer looking at an ordinary child; it's looking at a flawless, unpolished gem.
When Jean saw Thor frowning and remaining silent, her heart skipped a beat.
She assumed that Rachel's unintentional mental probing had offended the unfathomable Thor.
After all, for any strong person, having their secrets exposed without warning is never a pleasant experience.
Moreover, Thor is now their greatest Mutants, providing them with a safe and peaceful home away from conflict and discrimination.
My daughter is still young and doesn't understand, but she's been so "frank" right off the bat, I really feel bad about it.
"I'm so sorry, Thor." Jean quickly stepped forward, her face full of guilt. " Rachel is too young. She didn't mean it. She just..."
"Fine."
Before Jean could finish speaking, Thor waved his hand, interrupting her.
His gaze returned to the little one in his arms, and the barely perceptible smile on his lips curved upwards again, even widening slightly.
"This little one likes to follow along, so let her follow."
Thor's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.
As soon as he finished speaking, little Rachel, who had been quietly nestled in his arms, immediately broke into a big smile.
She seemed to understand Thor's words, and happily wriggled in his arms before leaning forward and giving Thor two quick kisses on the cheek.
"Honey! It smells so good!"
A childish cheer, accompanied by wet drool stains, was clearly imprinted on Thor's face.
In that instant, Thor felt as if his heart, which was as hard as iron, had been melted by something.
He completely forgot that he was followed by Hela, Valkyrie, and the Enchantress sisters—a large group of people he had just brought back from another universe.
"Alright, little one." Thor reached out and gently pinched Rachel's small nose, his tone unusually tender. "What would you like to eat?"
As he spoke, he picked up Rachel and walked straight toward the food street next to the square, pointing to the various stalls along the way.
"Hey, Spider-Man hot dog, wanna try some? I've heard it's pretty good."
"Or that? The Hulk Burger, it's a big portion, but you probably won't be able to finish it."
"Want some ice cream? No way, your mom'll yell at me."
Thor, holding the baby, muttered to himself, completely absorbed in the joy of being a temporary dad, utterly forgetting the crowd behind him.
Scott and Jean looked at each other, then could only exchange a helpless glance, smile wryly, and follow.
Scott bent down and silently took the reins of the miniature Triceratops that had been heartlessly abandoned by his daughter and was now standing there blankly.
This scene amazed Valkyrie, who was watching from a distance.
She first glanced at Thor's departing figure, then turned to look at the two Enchantress sisters beside her, whose faces were now as black as the bottom of a pot, and spoke without any politeness.
"Tsk tsk tsk," Valkyrie crossed her arms, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "What's the point of you two arguing for so many years? You're not even as attractive as a baby in diapers!"
Amora's face, which had been maintaining its haughty and elegant demeanor, froze instantly.
Lorelei was so angry that her chest heaved violently, but she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
The two sisters tried everything, one using alluring charm and the other forcibly trying to get close, but Thor didn't even give them a second glance.
But that little brat who appeared out of nowhere just kissed Thor twice and completely captivated him.
The contrast is like rubbing their faces into the ground.
"Let's go, Heimdall." Valkyrie, too lazy to look at those two unpleasant faces anymore, grabbed the ever-silent Guardian beside her. "I saw a speed-throwing game over there called ' Hulk Didi,' it looks pretty exciting, let's go try it!"
Heimdall's eyes, capable of seeing through the Nine Realms, swept over Thor in the distance, then glanced at the trembling Amora sisters, before finally settling on Valkyrie's excited face. He eventually nodded, allowing her to lead him toward the entertainment plaza in the West End.
For a moment, only Amora, Lorelei, and Hela remained, who had remained silent but whose gaze never left Thor's Hela.
The air was thick with a sour smell of embarrassment and jealousy.
