Shadow of the Beautiful World

The Phoenix Force is a rather mysterious force.

According to Ciriya, in ancient times, the organization behind her faced the Phoenix directly, and it was still the Phoenix Force in its full state.

It is said that they somehow routed it, forcing it off Earth.

Merlin couldn't imagine how Siria's companions did this, but one thing he was sure of was that the Phoenix Force was definitely not a friendly force.

This can be seen from the description of Qin.

Because of the violent attack, the spiritual seal in Qin's heart was broken, the power of the phoenix was awakened for the first time, and it began to occupy Qin's body. Until now, Qin has been living in extreme pain and fear every day.

It's hard to describe Qin's current state with a simple description, but if you want to use an analogy...

It's like having an unarmed child, and a fierce tiger, oh no...T-Rex in a cage without any protection between each other.

The kid could just look up and see the teeth of the Tyrannosaurus rex enough to tear him apart easily.

The child could feel the shadow of the Tyrannosaurus rex cast on her whenever she was awake.

How can she not panic?

Even with Xilia's help, Qin established a connection with the phoenix fragments in his body, but it is definitely not an easy task to tame, or in other words, fuse that power.

Qin once said to Merlin that compared to what she is going through now, she would rather die completely on the day the Phoenix Force wakes up, and she might be happier.

But because there is still a loved one in her heart, Qin still chooses to continue on this painful path.

Love supports her to continue to move forward in the quagmire of despair, looking for a glimmer of hope for relief.

And now, at the moment Summers died, the last pillar of Jean's psyche crumbled.

The power of the phoenix was completely out of control, once again occupying Qin's body.

And compared to the short recovery last time, there is a connection between the Phoenix Force and Qin now, which makes it more dangerous to lose control this time.

In front of Merlin, Clark, Thor, Steve and Iron Man, a quiet lady in a long black dress walked out of the torn space with graceful steps.

She was only wearing a long skirt shaped by energy. As she walked, her slender and perfect long legs were looming.

There are no shoes on the white toes, just bare feet in the air a few inches from the ground.

Long burgundy hair danced behind her, as if defying gravity.

There was indifference shining in her eyes, like a god entering this world.

Under her feet, the ground couldn't bear the weight of her body's strength at all.

The moment the phoenix stepped into it, the ground began to crack silently, and the stones and broken trees were suspended, circling like being swept up by a storm, and then dissipated without a sound...

It's like being disintegrated by annihilation.

Everything is dying, like being erased.

Only an indescribable empty is left, that is chaos...

The inexplicable, the incomprehensible.

The basis of existence in the real world is being washed away by higher forces.

Just like the sand castles built by children on the beach, they were easily washed away by the strong current, and everything was restored to the most primitive sand.

Jean, I'm sorry I let you down.

Merlin was leaning on a blood-red cane, and he said softly to the woman in black who was silently looking at them in front of him:

I failed to protect Summers . . . I broke my promise.

She is very desperate.

Hei Fenghuang tilted his head, looking at Merlin who apologized to her.

The annihilation storm entwined around this lady spread silently. At the moment when half of the forest was annihilated, this dangerous lady suddenly said:

Jean is in pain, she can't face it all...

Her voice sounds exactly like a qin, but if you listen carefully, you can find a strange tone in it.

She was just talking for the sake of talking, just like a repeater, she was simply relaying Qin's state at this time, without mixing any personal emotions.

like a robot...

No, it is sounding like a shell that has lost its soul.

Let me talk to her!

Merlin accentuated his voice:

Let me enter your heart!

Come.

The corners of Black Phoenix's mouth curled up, revealing a beautiful smile.

This new personality fused with the pain and despair in Qin's heart and the power of the phoenix beckoned to Merlin.

An indescribable sense of danger rose in Merlin's heart, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

The next second, where he is.

The soil, the air, and even the invisible space, everything in that place was completely annihilated.

The power of the phoenix, which should have appeared in the form of flames, has changed in form because of the will of the new personality. It has become more dangerous, more deadly, and silent, but it can annihilate everything.

Those substances are being transformed into the most primitive and purest energy, which is absorbed by the black phoenix.

She is erasing the land to satisfy her gluttonous appetite.

Every minute and every second, she is getting stronger, and as the Phoenix Force's hunger is satisfied, more destructive power will emerge.

Can't go on any longer...

This real world with relatively poor energy can't stand it!

Do it!

Merlin's voice sounded in the ears of the other four, and he said:

Hold her, attract her attention, I want to enter her heart... I must wake up Qin as soon as possible, otherwise...

Merlin didn't continue talking, but the land and beach that were being annihilated and disintegrated before him already explained everything.

Just like being in an invisible black hole, everything collapses under the pull of that terrifying force, and the invisible wind blows, and everything is lost in the place covered by it.

boom

The first to strike was Iron Man.

And one shot is currently the most powerful means of attacking firepower. The destructive cannon that can reshape the terrain fired three times in a row. The first dazzling light cannon hit a place 10 meters in front of Black Phoenix, like a mud cow disappearing into the sea.

All the energy was absorbed, but part of the annihilation storm was also offset.

The second light cannon rushed to 7 meters, and the power of Annihilation was partially offset again, followed by the third cannon, but this one was for cover.

In the scattered arcs of light scattered like light rain, Clark, who had activated his super speed, appeared on the left side of Black Phoenix under the cover of light rain.

He braved the terrifying annihilation storm and punched this delicate girl.

But that heavy punch was easily caught by Black Phoenix's slender fingers.

Clark's complexion changed dramatically. It was as if he had hit a mountain with his punch, and it only caused Black Phoenix's body to shake.

Well, you're interesting...

Dark Phoenix's other hand reached out to Clark, and Superman struggled to pull his fist out, but he couldn't, he could only open his eyes, and the heat rays in his eyes burst out and sprayed towards Dark Phoenix's face.

But the lady did not dodge or evade, letting the ray fall on her fair cheeks,

Terrible burns appeared on his cheeks, but he recovered in the next second with the energy replenishment.

Eyes like Summers...

A trace of sadness flashed in Hei Fenghuang's eyes, and she sighed softly:

Oh, Qin is even more sad...

Witch! In the name of Asgard! Let him go!

At the moment when Black Phoenix's finger was about to touch Clark, the deep thunderous sound summoned a huge lightning bolt that fell from the sky, just like a heavy punch falling from the sky.

Amidst Thor's roar, the legendary warhammer Mjolnir also howled and slammed into Black Phoenix amidst the thunder.

The terrifying thunder arrows and the iron man's light cannons crazily counteracted the storm that annihilated everything, making its blowing range shrink continuously.

It is converting matter into energy, but if there is a purer energy supplement, then the dark phoenix does not need to maintain this annihilation storm.

kuang

Black Phoenix's fingers turned outwards, and the next moment, it lightly tapped on the war hammer dropped by the flying Thor.

The slender fingers collided with the square-headed warhammer, as if they were about to be broken by the heavy warhammer in the next moment.

But the situation was unexpected. With one finger, Black Phoenix withstood Thor's full blow.

Of course, this is more due to the hungry phoenix's desire to devour more...

The moment her finger came into contact with Mjolnir, the runes on the surface of the legendary weapon jumped rapidly, like a battery losing power rapidly.

The runes on the surface of the warhammer dimmed one by one.

Thor's eyes widened at this scene, like a bull's eye.

This witch is actually absorbing the violent power of Thor's Hammer?

Odin's beard is on top...

She is stronger than last time!

Also more greedy!

help!

Thor yelled.

In the next second, a magic door was torn open in the sky, and several heavy meteorites dragged their long tail flames, whistling from the opened magic door, and smashed towards the black phoenix.

Under Merlin's control, the falling speed and kinetic energy of those meteorites were extremely terrifying, and each one was enough to destroy a small town.

Black Phoenix, who was controlling Clark with one hand and stuck to Thor's Hammer with the other, raised her head. The hot wind brought by the meteorite falling from the sky caused her long hair to start flying chaotically.

Energy! Hungry...

A weird moan sounded from Black Phoenix's mouth, and she was greedy, unwilling to let go of any energy that could be absorbed.

She didn't move her fingers from Thor's hammer, nor did she let go of the shackles on Clark. If the Kryptonian let go of his hands and feet completely, he would undoubtedly be a threat to her.

So she took the third way.

crash

The annihilation storm that had been static was blowing again, but at this moment, it was thrown into the sky by the black phoenix.

Under the blowing of that invisible storm, several meteorites summoned by Merlin quickly disintegrated, and all the kinetic energy attached to them was absorbed.

The wonderful feeling of swallowing big mouthfuls made Hei Fenghuang's cheeks rosy, and his face looked radiant.

But the moment the annihilation storm on the ground dissipated, the assaulters who had been waiting for an opportunity also dashed into the battlefield.

Under the strengthening of the captain, the symbiote battlesuit gathered all the power on his arms. As the blue ooze squirmed, the captain's fists swelled wildly, like a pair of giant fists.

The moment he flipped and landed, the captain threw out both fists, one left and one right, towards the thin and slender body of Black Phoenix...

Now is not the time to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.

Tony!

The captain roared at the moment of punching, and the battle armor on the back of the ready-to-go Iron Man flipped away, and under the spray of four jets, he also rushed towards the black phoenix.

kuang

The captain's first punch was blocked by the energy shield in front of Black Phoenix, but the 50-ton fist shattered the shield. Under Black Phoenix's surprised gaze, the second punch hit her body.

boom

At this moment, the mighty lady in black was beaten upside down and flew out.

Unbelievable surprise remained on her face, she couldn't imagine that such a weak mortal could hurt her.

This reminded Phoenix of the humiliation he had suffered the last time he came to Earth, and it also made the Phoenix's power explode more violently.

However, the moment she forcibly stopped rolling in the air, the roaring iron man hit her waist like a rocket.

Like a nymphomaniac, Tony hugged Qin's body tightly with the Super Mark armor.

At the moment of contact, the power of Super Mark was absorbed crazily, and the originally abundant energy was like a bucket with a leaky bottom.

Eject! Then, the restraint program! Start!

Tony yelled.

The next second, the final command was passed, and the armor on the back of the armor seemed to open a door, ejecting Tony Stark inside.

And the battle armor that lost its operator quickly covered in reverse during the flipping of several deformation gears.

Within a second, it wrapped up the black phoenix that was close to it.

Those silver armors on the back wrapped the black phoenix into a mummy-like shape, and this sudden change made the black phoenix stunned for a while.

But in the next second, she realized that she had been fooled by a mortal again.

This made her extremely angry.

Terrible energy is brewing under the restraint of Super Mark, and it will explode in the next moment, tearing this expensive armor completely like tearing a piece of paper.

Bang, bang, bang

Accompanied by three loud bangs, Superman, Thor, and the captain of the symbiote pounced on the three directions of the bound armor, and different forces exploded, pressing back the armor that had begun to swell and erode.

swish

In the flash of light and shadow, Merlin appeared above the battle armor. He raised his left hand and pressed it on the chest of the battle armor.

While the golden light was shining, the dark red runes were constantly jumping and imprinted on the back of Tony's armor by magic power.

This scene made Thor's eyes widen.

He recognized that what Merlin was using now was the most orthodox Asgardian rune magic.

How can he use this?

Merlin ignored Thor's strange gaze, he carved hundreds of runes in a few seconds, and those runes formed a complex spell combination on Tony's armor.

That's one of the rune combinations on the Destroyer!

The strong combination of the guardian will increase the defense and firmness of the rune-carved item by about ten times, and it is one of the most useful advanced rune circles.

But now it is used to restrain the black phoenix.

I want to enter her spiritual world... Before she breaks the seal, transfer the battlefield to the sea!

Merlin finished rubbing the last rune, and he said to the three people around him:

I may need some time... It may take a long time. Dark Phoenix is ​​dangerous, but Jean can save... Most importantly, I need her to support us from the heart, so as to weaken Dark Phoenix.

I know it's going to be hard, but hold on until I get back!

Tony, you leave the battlefield! You won't be able to participate in the rest of the process...but get your armor ready, these shitty things are not over yet.
