Chapter 86: Professor X's death, Phoenix out of control
Inside the laboratory.
When Phoenix and Cyclops were discussing how to use reverse engineering to analyze the X-gene healing potion, Wolverine, who was Phoenix's dog licker, sat alone in the corner of the laboratory.
He smoked a cheap cigar while watching the "flirting" Phoenix and Cyclops.
Although Phoenix and Cyclops were working, from Wolverine's perspective, they were just flirting.
How am I inferior to Scott?
In terms of appearance, body shape, physical strength, melee combat ability, and resilience, I far surpass Scott!
Is it because his eyes emit energy?
His eyes can emit energy, and I also have super self-healing abilities!
And I also have indestructible bone claws!
Wolverine has asked Phoenix Girl more than once what makes her inferior to Cyclops, but Phoenix Girl has never answered his question directly.
Although Wolverine didn't speak and just sat quietly on a chair in the corner, both Phoenix and Cyclops could feel his gaze.
"Logan, it's getting late, you should go back and rest first!"
Phoenix Girl turned to look at Wolverine and said slowly.
"No, I'm not tired."
Wolverine replied quickly.
After hearing his answer, Cyclops, who was Phoenix Girl's real boyfriend, said displeasedly: "We know you are not tired, but you sitting aside and smoking are disturbing us."
"This is a laboratory, not a cigar room!"
"Then I won't smoke."
After saying that, Wolverine opened the palm of his left hand and put out the cigar with the palm of his hand.
After seeing his actions, Phoenix and Cyclops sighed helplessly, ignored Wolverine, and continued to analyze the ingredients of the X-gene healing potion.
Time passes little by little.
Before I knew it, an hour or two had passed.
Phoenix Girl used her superpower to make a special pistol specially designed to fire healing darts placed on the table next to float and fly towards herself and Cyclops.
Soon, this special pistol specially customized by the military came in front of her and Cyclops.
She grabbed the special pistol in front of her without reaching out and began to control it more carefully, preparing to use her telekinesis to directly dismantle the special pistol in front of her and take out the healing darts inside.
Perhaps due to fatigue or distraction, Phoenix Girl made some small mistakes in her control.
The trigger of the special pistol was pulled under the influence of telekinesis!
call out!
As the trigger was pulled, the healing darts in the gun chamber flew out like lightning.
Phoenix Girl was immediately startled, and quickly increased her telekinesis output, freezing the healing dart.
The sudden accident not only shocked Phoenix Girl, but also shocked Cyclops and Wolverine.
The two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Phoenix Girl using her telekinesis to immobilize the healing dart.
"Qin, are you okay?"
Cyclops asked with a concerned look on his face.
"It's okay, maybe I'm tired and my control accuracy has dropped."
Phoenix girl replied.
After hearing her answer, Cyclops said quickly: "In the past half month, you have either been busy analyzing the ingredients of the potion, or you have been looking for the source of the potion with the professor. You can stop here today. It doesn't matter if you continue the experiment tomorrow."
Phoenix Girl said nothing and nodded.
bedroom.
After washing, the Phoenix girl lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep. She always felt a voice in her head.
Although I couldn't hear what the other party was saying, the sound was as annoying as the sound of mosquitoes lingering in my ears.
After tossing and turning on the bed for more than half an hour, the Phoenix girl sat up with a look of helplessness.
Then, he used telepathy to try to figure out what the sound was about.
Soon, she discovered that the voice that had been ringing in her head was not someone else's, but her own.
What's going on?
After discovering this, she immediately frowned.
Although she didn't know what was going on, she didn't think too much and used telepathy to let her consciousness enter her mind.
Unconsciously, her consciousness came to an island that seemed to be shrouded in thick fog.
Just when she was wondering where this place was, a familiar and unfamiliar voice sounded.
"You're finally here!"
Before she could react, black flames appeared on the island shrouded in thick fog.
In just the blink of an eye, these black flames engulfed the entire island.
The next second, the black flames that engulfed the island flew toward her at high speed like a soaring black phoenix.
…
New York suburbs.
Silver Manor.
Not long after Richard, who had a fierce duel with the White Queen and won, fell asleep, the system's voice sounded in his mind.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw the system information.
[The content of the template mission "Devil's Son (4)" has been updated! 】
[Task content: Defeat the rampaging "Dark Phoenix" Jean Gray within 30 minutes! 】
[Mission Reward: True Demon Form]
[Task time limit: 30 minutes]
…
After seeing the mission information in front of him, Richard suddenly lost all sleep and got up and put on his clothes without saying a word.
"What's wrong?"
The White Queen looked at Richard who suddenly got up with sleepy eyes, and asked doubtfully.
"There's something going on at the mutant school. I'll go over there."
Richard quickly replied.
Something happened at the mutant school?
After hearing his answer, the White Queen immediately asked: "Do you need me to go with you?"
"No, you and Clarice stay at the manor."
After putting on his clothes, Richard immediately used teleportation without any hesitation and instantly disappeared from the White Queen's sight.
Westchester County.
The sky above the mutant school.
Richard, floating in the air, looked down at the mutant school directly below.
If we talk about the previous mutant school, it was a luxurious private manor with beautiful scenery.
So now, the mutant school looks like it has been bombed by a cruise missile, with ruins and a mess.
More than half of the school's main building collapsed, and the surrounding grassland was filled with craters like explosion craters. The playground, corridors and other places also looked as if they had been violently demolished.
After seeing the current appearance of the mutant school, Richard did not hesitate and immediately mobilized the magic power in his body to change his clothes into the same style as Sephiroth with silver shoulder armor.
At the same time, he took out the authentic knife from the system space.
As soon as he took out the authentic sword, a dark red energy fireball with a diameter of more than one meter flew towards him at great speed like a missile.
Canxin!
The authentic sword is swung with lightning!
The crescent-shaped energy "Sword Qi", purple on the outside and white on the inside, flew towards the dark red fireball.
boom!
The crescent-shaped "sword energy" and the dark red fireball collided fiercely, exploding like fireworks.
The huge explosion suddenly spread throughout the mutant school, and the dissipated magic power and sparks flew around like a meteor shower.
Super vision!
Richard ignored the shock wave and overflowing energy generated by the explosion, and immediately used his super vision in his super senses.
Using the perspective and telephoto vision given by super vision, the situation inside the main building appeared in his sight at a glance.
Many mutant students were buried in the collapsed school main building.
Although not many students died, only five or six, there were not many students buried.
With just a brief glance, he saw twenty or thirty buried mutant students.
Some of these buried mutant students used their superpowers to save themselves, while others were waiting for rescue from students outside.
The mutant student responsible for organizing the rescue outside is none other than Iceman Bobby.
In addition to Iceman, Richard also saw Colossus and Phantom Cat.
As for the little naughty boy, he didn't notice it.
Iceman and the others were working hard to rescue the buried mutant students, and the three mentors, Cyclops, Wolverine, and Storm, appeared on the grass behind the main building.
Wolverine was pressed down by a boulder one or two meters long, while Storm fell unconscious and lay next to Professor X's electric wheelchair.
Cyclops also passed out.
However, he did not lie on the ground, but floated quietly in front of Phoenix Girl.
Where is Professor X?
Although he saw Professor X's electric wheelchair, Richard did not see Professor X and immediately frowned.
After scanning the school with his super vision, he still found no trace of Professor X.
Although Professor X's body was not seen, one can guess what happened to Professor X just by looking at the unconscious Cyclops and Storm.
Professor X is dead!
He died at the hands of the out-of-control Phoenix Girl, to be precise, at the hands of the Dark Phoenix!
Still too late?
Richard sighed in his heart.
Then, his eyes fell on the Phoenix girl who was sizing up Cyclops.
At this time, the Phoenix girl was wearing a dark red leather coat, her eyes seemed to be painted with black eyeshadow, and dark red energy lingered around her like a flame.
She looked at the unconscious Cyclops like she was looking at food, as if she was thinking about how to taste the Cyclops in front of her.
But soon, her eyes shifted from Cyclops to Richard.
Comparing it with Richard floating in the air, the Phoenix girl raised her right hand and waved it casually. The Cyclops floating in front of her was thrown out like garbage, and she looked at Richard with a greedy face.
Richard didn't pay attention to Phoenix Girl's scrutiny and used his X-gene superpower.
Control gravity!
Under his control, the boulder pressing Wolverine immediately flew up.
Without the suppression of the boulder, Wolverine stood up immediately.
"What the hell is going on?"
Richard's voice sounded in Wolverine's mind.
Although he was not telepathic, Wolverine immediately replied to Richard in his mind.
"Qin lost control and attacked us and the students crazily."
"In order to stop Qin, the professor was killed by Qin..."
Wolverine turned to look at Professor X's electric wheelchair and fell silent.
Richard did not continue to question Wolverine, and used telepathy on the unconscious Cyclops and Storm.
Without any effort, he woke up the unconscious Cyclops and Storm.
Then, he used telepathy to say to the three Wolverines: "I'll handle it, Dr. Jean Grey, and you go rescue the students."
After saying that, before the three Wolverines could reply, he cut off the telepathic connection and looked at the Phoenix girl who was flying towards him quickly.
Before he could reach him, Phoenix Girl launched an attack.
Psychological impact!
Phoenix Girl did not use the power of the Phoenix to attack him, but used telekinesis.
The impact of telekinesis that could not be detected by the naked eye struck towards Richard like a hurricane.
Energy absorption!
Richard did not dodge, but directly used energy absorption.
Although Phoenix is now an Omega-level mutant, it is still not difficult for him to resist her telekinetic impact.
When the telekinetic impact of Phoenix came in front of him, he absorbed it completely with energy absorption, as if it had never appeared.
After seeing the telekinetic impact she released was absorbed, Phoenix showed a surprised expression.
This was the first time Richard used ability absorption in front of others.
Not to mention that Phoenix's dark personality did not know that he had such an ability, even Phoenix's main personality did not know.
After absorbing the telekinetic impact released by Phoenix, Richard did not hesitate and immediately started to counterattack.
Iai Slash!
He did not perform Eight Swords Flash, nor did he perform Dimension Slash, but performed Iai Slash.
He was originally 20 to 30 meters away from Phoenix, and instantly came in front of Phoenix, and the authentic knife in his hand chopped towards Phoenix's neck at a speed beyond the limit of naked eye capture.
Although the system only asked him to defeat the "Black Phoenix", it did not let him kill the other party.
But if there was a chance to kill the "Black Phoenix", he would not be soft-hearted.
Just when the authentic sword was about to cut through the Phoenix girl's neck, the authentic sword stopped only more than 20 centimeters away from the Phoenix girl.
Phoenix power!
The Phoenix girl used the Phoenix power to create a dark red barrier like a mirror, blocking the Iai Slash.
Telepathy!
Without any hesitation, Richard immediately performed telepathy and retreated more than 100 meters in an instant.
The reaction was fast enough!
Richard sighed with regret.
If the Phoenix girl had not used the Phoenix power just now, but continued to use her own superpowers, he would have more than 80% chance of hitting the Phoenix girl with Iai Slash.
But unfortunately, the Phoenix girl who became the "Black Phoenix" was not as careless as he thought.
Although it was a pity, he did not take it seriously, and the authentic sword was swung again.
Dimension Slash!
After obtaining the Yama Sword, the power of the Dimension Slash has been significantly improved.
In other words, after having the Yama Sword, the Dimension Slash he performed finally became complete.
With Phoenix Girl as the center, the surrounding space was instantly distorted, and the crescent-shaped space slash slashed towards Phoenix Girl at a high speed.
Swish, swish, swish, swish...
The crescent-shaped space slash kept passing through Phoenix Girl.
However, Phoenix Girl was not cut into pieces like the enemies Richard had fought before.
Not only was she not cut into pieces, but she was also unscathed, as if the Dimension Slash just now had not hit her at all.
Strictly speaking, the Dimension Slash did not hit her.
The space slash formed by the Dimension Slash did not hit Phoenix Girl's body, but was blocked by the Phoenix Power.
For most people, the Dimension Slash that relies on the separation of space to form a slash is an unstoppable and terrifying move.
But for enemies with the Phoenix Power, the Dimension Slash is not an unstoppable attack.
Because it can create, manipulate, and destroy time and space at will.
It is just one of the many abilities of the Phoenix Power!
