Shadow of the Beautiful World

This form of energy, as well as its special reading cycle, I can basically confirm that this is the Phoenix Force.

In the meeting hall decorated in Victorian style in Xavier Castle, while the members of the Illuminati were listening, the owner of the place, Professor Charles Francis Xavier wearing reading glasses, looked at the projection in front of him.

After a while, he took off his glasses and said eloquently:

Everyone here should have heard about the Phoenix Force. After all, in the history of our world, there are many legends about the Phoenix Force, and there are many versions.

yes.

Black Panther Prince T'Challa nodded.

He said in a reminiscing tone:

In the ancient legends of Wakanda, our ancestors once witnessed a phoenix descending on the earth like a projection in front of them. The handbook he left behind recorded the scene of that day in detail.

It is said that the whole world is being smoked in a furnace, and the largest river in Africa is diverted in one day. Many people think that is the moment of the end of the world.

But that phoenix was finally subdued by a mysterious force.

surrender?

Little Crystal blinked. The young girl propped her chin in a posture of listening to a story. She asked curiously:

How did you surrender? If it's the Phoenix Force in its full state, is there such a powerful person on Earth, Father Almighty?

I don't know if there is any.

Black Panther smiled and said:

But my ancestor is very sure. He said with certainty that he was on the high mountain of Wakanda that day and looked at the halo rising from the eastern sky.

Monsters like giant snakes rushed into the sky from the mountains and rivers, fighting with the phoenix, just like fighting for the master of the world. During the several minutes of battle, the whole world was shaken.

In the end, the phoenix failed. It wailed, resounded throughout the world, and then turned into a ball of fire and returned to the stars.

Well, it sounds like a fairy tale.

Tony commented with great interest:

But this statement is not entirely credible, is it?

No, it's true.

Doom replied in a hoarse voice:

I don't have much research on the Phoenix Force, but in Karma Taj's library, I have read the notes of the previous supreme mage, Master Ancient One.

Her notes also recorded the scene of the last time the Phoenix Force descended on Earth in its full glory. That was a real event that happened in the 16th century.

Your Excellency T'Challa's narration is basically complete and correct, but it was not the giant snake monster that defeated the Phoenix at that time, but another great power. In the East, they called it 'the power of the dragon' .”

I know this!

Like a primary school student answering a teacher's question, Little Crystal raised her hand and said:

The dragon, the totem of Eastern civilization, is completely different from the giant dragon in the West. It is said that there are still dragons in the land of the East.

Yes, indeed.

God Lord Doom nodded, he said:

It's in another holy place in the Eastern Kingdom, called 'Kunlun', where the mysterious power of the iron fist, that is, the birthplace of the power of the dragon.

There are the most powerful monks in the world. Unfortunately, the purpose of that holy place is closed, and even I cannot open it.

Dum's statement caught the eyes of Dr. Reed sitting next to Tony, and the smartest person in the world's scientific community immediately asked:

Then since the mysterious power of the dragon defeated the Phoenix in its prime, can we?

Unfortunately, no.

Doom shook his head, he let out a long sigh, and regretfully said:

Not to mention whether Kunlun is willing to intervene in this matter, let's just talk about the information I have so far.

During the long inheritance, the holders of Kunlun's dragon power, the brave fighters they call 'Iron Fist', have been weaker and weaker from generation to generation. Although I hate to say this, they really can't help.

I suspect this is probably because in the 16th century, the most powerful holder of dragon power in history, the iron fist lady named Wu Fengji defeated the power of the Phoenix, causing the mysterious dragon power to be consumed too much. It’s because it hasn’t been replenished for a hundred years.”

The supreme mage glanced at everyone, and he said:

This road won't work.

It's a pity.

Luther, who presided over the meeting, shook his head, looked at Professor X beside him, and said:

Then, professor, as far as I know, mutants should be regarded as the group that knows the most about the force of the Phoenix among all the civilizations on Earth. A few years ago, you had a host of the force of the Phoenix.

Qin, that's my disciple.

The professor stroked the armrest of the wheelchair, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

He said:

That was a tragedy. Originally with Merlin's help, we had found a way for Qin and the Phoenix Force to coexist perfectly, but because of some shameful plots, Qin lost control.

That time, she relied on her incomplete phoenix power to transform into a black phoenix, and almost destroyed the entire east coast.

She's amazing.

Tony moved his fingers.

He also participated in the battle to expel the Black Phoenix with Merlin. He glanced at the silent Clark and said:

At that time, Merlin used magic to enter Jean Gray's mind, and restrained Dark Phoenix from within.

Me, Superman, and Thor attacked Dark Phoenix's body from the outside, but we couldn't even hurt Dark Phoenix until Merlin gained the upper hand in the spiritual world.

Yes.

Clark nodded, and he added:

That battle was very difficult, and it was a fluke to win in the end. If Ms. Qin hadn't voluntarily sacrificed herself to purify the evil spirit of the black phoenix, we would have been unable to defeat her by relying on us at the time.

Compared with the process, I care more about the result.

Luther knocked on the table, looked at Clark, and asked:

How did you defeat her? I mean, by what method did you force the Phoenix Force to leave Earth?

It's very simple.

Tony made a punching motion and said:

With Miss Qin's help, we smashed it!

Break again?

Luthor and Reed issued a puzzled question at the same time.

The two smart guys looked at each other, and then Dr. Reed asked:

Whether it's the mysterious Dragon Fist fighter or the last battle with the Black Phoenix, the result of the battle ended in the shattering of the Phoenix's power, so can we understand that?

Reed stared at the projection in front of him. He looked at the energy aggregate on the projection that was enough to cover half of the planet. He said:

Its weakness lies in the instability of the energy body. If we can find a way to smash it or cut it, can we effectively reduce its threat?

It's like weakening.

Luther added:

Such as a knife cuts butter, each cut will reduce the total amount of cream. Theoretically, as long as the number of cuts is enough, even the Phoenix Force of the near-universe can be eliminated to ordinary people. A level that can also be defeated?

this

Everyone here is wise enough.

After Luthor proposed the method, Xia Kela, the undead queen who had been working hard to reduce the sense of existence, slapped the table hard, and she said loudly:

What you are discussing is science, but there is no such thing as cutting in the world of magic. This evil phoenix power, no matter how you look at it, looks more like magical power, right?

Indeed, magic cannot be explained with scientific theories.

The old-fashioned Doom nodded.

But before she found her blind spot, Queen Xia Kela, who had a sense of presence in front of the bosses, showed a smug expression, and the next sentence of God Lord Doom slapped Xia Kela hard in the face.

Doom in the mask whispered:

But the power of magic can also be weakened by cutting it, but it requires extremely high manipulation ability. In this world, Merlin and I are probably the only ones who can do this at present.

When Merlin is too busy with other affairs, relying on me alone, I don't have much confidence.

What about Wanda?

Icarus poked her cheek with her finger, and she said to Doom:

I heard from Merlin, he said that Wanda's Chaos magic, on a certain level, is the most destructive and the highest priority of all magic, if she can help you

The premise is that Wanda doesn't lose control!

God Lord Dum increased his tone, he said:

Based on the magic control power that the Scarlet Witch has shown so far, the result of her participation in this matter is likely to be that we have to face two terrible opponents at the same time, the Phoenix Force and the out-of-control Chaos magic.

You can teach her!

The glasses lady blinked at Doom with a strange expression on her face, as if she was doing some kind of weird assist, she said to Lord Doom, whose breath changed slightly:

Although there are only two days, relying on the Stone of Time in your hand, with only two people, you can extend the time indefinitely until Wanda grows up enough to help you under your 'tune' The degree to which the power of the phoenix is ​​cut.

Snapped

Carol tapped the forehead of the happy glasses girl with her curled fingers, and she whispered:

It's not allowed to say such things on this occasion. Besides, the word 'training' is used well. Seriously, Lord Doom, don't you think about it?

Faced with the mistress's offensive, Shenjun did not answer for a long time.

After a few seconds, Dum asked in a jerky tone:

Merlin's women, are they all so concerned about other people's private affairs?

Oh, this is for world peace, Lord Doom!

Icarus sat up straight, pushed his glasses, and said in a businesslike tone:

This is not the time to talk about privacy. If Wanda can help, then you must take this kind of measure. After all, if we can't stop the Phoenix Force, the world you swore to protect will be over. .”

really.

Professor Charles, a good old man who doesn't know the inside story, also persuaded:

I think Ms. Icarus is right. Your Excellency Doom, if you can really use the Time Stone to help Wanda grow fast enough to participate in this crisis, I think you should do so.

There is no need to worry, I can even help you persuade Wanda.

This divine assist made Dum give Professor Charles a hard look, which made the good old Professor a little confused.

But under the gaze of everyone, Shenjun finally said in a cold tone:

Okay, I'll think about it.

I'll help too.

Clark, who had been silent all this time, stretched out his hand and pushed his eyes, and he said to the others:

I should be able to strike the Phoenix Force with pure strength, so if necessary, I am willing to help.

Me too.

Carol was a little unmotivated and said:

Cosmic energy can to a certain extent be immune to supernatural effects like the Phoenix Force, and I can work with Clark to block the enemy head-on.

Well, the support for the magic side and the ability side is already in place, so the next step is the science side.

Luther nodded. He wrote the two suggestions on the memo, then turned his head and looked at Tony and Reed who were whispering. He looked at the time on his wrist and said:

So do you two have any suggestions?

have.

Tony finished his whisper with Reed, he stood up, glanced at the people present, and said:

I discussed it with Reid. Maybe we can design a giant energy launcher, and by projecting a huge amount of energy to the main body of the Phoenix Force at once, force its internal stable energy structure to become disordered, or even rupture.

But there are two problems at the moment.

Tony waved two fingers and said:

First, regarding the material of the transmitter, in order to avoid energy loss, we should make it a mobile device, but this poses a problem. To face the super-standard energy radiation of the Phoenix Force, ordinary materials Can't resist it at all.

Wakanda can provide vibranium with special specifications.

The Black Panther Prince waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to worry about this.

My old friend Eric and his young daughter Polaris, aka little Lorna, can help with the smelting and casting.

Professor Charles also spoke.

The Onika Consortium can provide you with various mechanical components.

Luther said in a calm tone.

The Mechanicus has made a breakthrough in the energy research of the mother box, and we can provide you with two of the latest mother box energy engines.

The glasses girl pushed her black-rimmed glasses, and she said to Tony:

But you have to return it when you're done using it, and don't even think about stealing data from me again.

Okay, okay, you are so stingy, and besides, how can that be called stealing!

Tony retorted:

Is that reverse research?

Iron Man stretched out his hand to adjust his casual clothes, he said:

The material problem is basically solved, and then there is the second problem. In our current weapon system, there is a lack of a launcher that can project such a huge amount of energy at one time. This has to be redesigned, and it may not be able to catch up.

etc!

Luther interrupted Tony's question. He hesitated, then looked up and said to Tony:

Actually, with regard to projectile weapons, we don't need to redesign, we can use off-the-shelf.

Before the meeting, I communicated with m.i.b. They have a sealed item of the highest level of security, which is a high-tech weapon from aliens.

According to their description, it is said that it is the kind that can destroy stars!
