If one were enveloped by that light, even with the most incredible self-healing abilities, there would be no chance of survival; even Adamantium would be reduced to ashes in an instant.
This power has long surpassed the scope of what humankind can resist.
He subconsciously looked up into the distance, where a single point of gold stood firm amidst the overwhelming crimson light that blotted out the sky. It grew ever brighter and more profound, radiating a majestic aura that shook heaven and earth.
Although the red aura was more magnificent and violent, the gold remained as steadfast as a rock.
Wolverine took a deep breath and exclaimed sincerely, " Vitas... he's fucking strong!"
Over the past century, he has seen too many Mutants: Professor X with his profound wisdom, Magneto with his overwhelming power, the White King with his cold precision, Scott with his decisiveness and perseverance, and Storm with her control over the world; as well as Quicksilver with his near-freezing speed, Azazel Devil with his unpredictable ability to traverse thousands of miles in an instant, and Black King with his domineering power to devour all energy.
Vitas gave him a completely different feeling.
His body is indestructible, his strength is unstoppable, his speed approaches the sound barrier, his defense is impenetrable, and most importantly, any Mind Stone manipulation is like a stone thrown into the sea, completely ineffective in front of him.
He is a true all-rounder, skilled in both offense and defense, adept at both movement and stillness, and without any weaknesses.
And those are the most terrifying people.
Even though Jean unleashed terrifying power capable of tearing the heavens and earth apart, it didn't give Wolverine that suffocating feeling of being "unrivaled," because she simply couldn't control this power.
Hank and Shadowcat were standing nearby, nodded in agreement instinctively when they heard Wolverine's words.
Gazing at the burning golden figure in the distance, Shadowcat's eyes suddenly lit up, its pupils reflecting a blinding light.
boom!
Suddenly, a giant wave tens of meters high crashed down from the sky, slamming heavily onto the iceberg, causing the entire ice floe to vibrate and making a humming sound. Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it.
At this moment, under the joint control of Iceman and Storm, the giant iceberg, with a diameter of over tens of meters, was slowly sliding away from Alcatraz with the help of the strong winds, rapidly retreating.
Chen Xiao, whose story was hailed as a "miracle" by Wolverine and the others, felt as if he were carrying a thousand pounds on his shoulders.
Everything around him had long since vanished into nothingness, not even the smallest particles remained; the Berserk destructive psychic power washed over the golden energy on his body like a tidal wave, each impact exploding with a deafening roar.
The power within his body layered up, soaring to a staggering seventy times its original strength. He was like a blazing golden sun suspended in mid-air, radiating boundless light and unapproachable heat.
Under this materialized golden Havok, even the Phoenix Force could not completely suppress him.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate, locked in a fierce battle of attrition, not a contest of who was stronger, but who would give out first.
Therefore, the real pressure Chen Xiao felt did not come from the overwhelming power unleashed by Qin after she lost control, but from himself. If he continued to erupt like this without any restraint, he could only last for a few dozen seconds at most.
Despite the immense power surging within him, a power capable of shattering mountains with a single punch, his face showed no joy. He merely tensed his jaw, staring intently into the distance, and murmured, "Still... not enough?"
As he deliberately stirred up her emotions time and time again, Qin's mental fluctuations became increasingly intense.
Especially when the life pod that Scott relied on to survive crumbled inch by inch under her out-of-control energy crushing her, her emotions exploded and she fell into complete madness.
Even so, the dark personality remained unmoved, instead becoming increasingly ferocious and violent, like an ancient beast that had been fully awakened.
Chen Xiao lightly pressed the tip of his tongue against his palate, his voice extremely low. "There's no other way; we have to retreat."
Before he finished speaking, he had already taken a deep breath, his muscles subtly tensing, ready to back down at any moment.
He knew very well that with his current physical strength, the maximum increase in power he could withstand Second Awakening was only a hundredfold; once he broke through that limit, his physical body would disintegrate on the spot.
As for that out-of-control zither that obliterates everything in its path, someone will naturally take care of it.
After all, this isn't a world dominated by the X-Men, but rather the Marvel Universe, where powerful beings abound. On Earth, there have always been many experts capable of suppressing this catastrophe.
But before leaving... let's give it one last try.
Having made up his mind, Chen Xiao's gaze swept over Scott, who was enveloped in a golden barrier, and he said in a deep voice, "Professor Scott, you don't want to see her completely fall into the abyss, do you?"
"I know you're not satisfied, so... let's try one last time."
He suddenly looked up, staring directly at the surging golden storm in the distance, and shouted sharply, "Jin! Professor Scott told me personally that in his heart, you are more important than the whole world!"
"If we cannot live together, then we shall die together!"
Before he finished speaking, he waved his hand and removed all of Scott's protective gear.
In an instant, the destructive force swept across like Blade, Scott's outer garment turned to ash, and the skin on his cheeks and the backs of his hands peeled off, revealing the bleeding flesh beneath.
"Ah!"
Just as Scott was about to be completely wiped out, Jean suddenly raised her head and roared, her voice as shrill as tearing silk. Her hands clenched tightly, and the Berserk destructive energy around her was abruptly stopped!
"No... Scott..."
At this moment, her face was as black as ink, her eyes were covered with spiderweb-like blood vessels, and her gaze was fixed on Scott, her struggle almost tearing her soul apart.
Two streams of bloody tears even trickled down from the corners of her eyes, silently telling the story of the hellish ordeal her body was undergoing.
Even so, Chen Xiao could still clearly sense that the briefly stagnant energy was quietly loosening and becoming restless again.
The clarity that she saw as human is being gradually eroded and devoured by primal, savage desires.
Even with all her might, she couldn't overcome the overwhelming torrent within her.
well...
Chen Xiao sighed silently.
That sigh came from the professor.
In order to cultivate a Mutants unparalleled strength capable of shaking the world, Professor X, knowing he was facing certain death, still bravely stepped into the eye of the storm, just to give Jean Grey a chance to vent her pent-up emotions and break free from her constraints.
Chen Xiao deeply respected the old man's resoluteness and sense of responsibility.
That's why he carried Scott and forced his way into the battlefield, using emotion as a weapon to repeatedly strike at Qin's emotional vulnerabilities, all to force out her long-dormant Mind Stone power to suppress the Phoenix Force.
Otherwise, given Chen Xiao's nature, who cares if you lose control or not? If he can't beat you, can't he at least run away?
If things really come to the point where the survival of the world is at stake, there will be stronger shoulders to step up.
After sighing, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he no longer suppressed his X-Gene potential. In an instant, his aura surged, increasing a hundredfold!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
With a hundredfold increase in power, the energy within his body seemed to reach a critical point. The edges of the spiraling golden light surrounding him faintly glowed with a ghostly blue flame, like leaping cold flames.
The flames weren't scorching, but they were so heavy they were suffocating. Space distorted slightly with their flickering light, rippling outwards in circles of transparent light. Even the raging crimson destructive power around them was gradually Oblivion by the blue flames. The energy of the two forces canceled each other out, resulting in a stalemate that was terrifyingly domineering.
At this moment, Chen Xiao was like a god descended to earth, his radiance piercing the sky and illuminating the world.
But just as he and Scott were about to retreat, a gentle yet incredibly firm voice suddenly echoed in Jean's mind, who was standing in the distance with her face covered in blood and tears.
"Don't let the zither control you."
You can do it.
In a daze, she seemed to see the professor's figure standing quietly. Then, an unimaginably powerful Mind Stone force exploded in her mind, transforming into a clear and transparent flame.
"Ah!!!"
Qin clutched her head with both hands, screaming in agony.
That fire of the Mind Stone not only burned her consciousness, but also scorched the Origin of her soul; countless dark shadows entrenched in the depths of her spirit were collapsing and disintegrating in large swaths.
This power was so immense that it even penetrated reality and projected itself onto the outside world.
Chen Xiao's pupils contracted as he saw a layer of translucent flames suddenly rise around Qin, burning silently yet emitting a powerful Mind Stone fluctuation that shook the very soul.
"That aura... it's the professor!"
His heart trembled violently.
Such pure and magnificent Mind Stone power was something he had never felt from anyone other than Professor X.
Ultimately, so-called Mind Stone power is nothing more than another manifestation of the spirit and soul.
As the world's number one Telepathy after awakening, the extent of Professor X's mental power over the decades is self-evident.
At this moment, this spiritual power is burning fiercely within Qin's body, condensing into a clear and pure flame of the Mind Stone, inch by inch driving away the Phoenix Force that has seeped into the depths of her soul, that sinister and twisted dark personality.
This burning, an almost self-destructive confrontation, used lives as fuel to completely neutralize the two forces.
Chen Xiao understood, his expression froze slightly, and an indescribable shock appeared between his brows: he never expected that Professor X would help Qin tame the Berserk power within her in this way.
No wonder we haven't received any news of the professor's successful transfer of consciousness for the past few days.
It turns out that he never actually transferred his consciousness into his comatose brother's body; he had quietly infiltrated her consciousness the day the lyre went out of control and destroyed his physical body.
Unfortunately, Mind Stone residing in another's body is like a rootless duckweed. The moment it enters, it is suppressed and besieged by the Phoenix Force. Without a vessel to support it, spiritual power is ultimately no match for the primal power that burns everything. Before long, it will be crushed, devoured, and completely Oblivion.
Unexpectedly, under Chen Xiao's repeated provocations today, Qin's emotions suddenly collapsed, and the energy in her body went completely out of control, tearing open a crack and allowing the long-dormant professor's consciousness to reignite a glimmer of hope.
As if sensing Chen Xiao's gaze, the transparent flames surging around Qin suddenly rose up, condensing into a semi-transparent upper body phantom of Professor X behind her.
He gazed silently into the distance, where Chen Xiao hovered in mid-air, his body radiating golden light, his aura surging, and his oppressive power overwhelming; in his hand, he held the dying Scott.
The professor smiled gently at him, his eyes deep and serene.
Those weathered eyes held a wealth of unspoken meaning: comfort, gratitude, and undisguised praise.
But this phantom only lasted for a moment before it vanished like a candle flickering in the wind.
