[Comprehensive Anglo-American] The First Mutant

The water of the Styx pulled Nertalil away in the blink of an eye, and did not encounter any resistance, which made all this happen quite suddenly, so that when Imerton raised his hand belatedly, the spring water had already returned to calm , looking back, only the withered female corpse remained on the stage.He knelt on the spot blankly, his expression blank.

"Love..." Phoenix murmured the term with some confusion, and walked down the steps step by step.

His voice echoed in the sunken altar. Imerton followed the voice, and only instinct was left in his hollowed-out head. He knelt down and kowtowed to the ground.

In fact, Emerton had never seen Phoenix at all. In the era of his birth, Phoenix was already a god in distant legends.The most he saw was the huge, pitch-black corpse in the Atum Temple, resembling a bird, far from the white-haired young man walking slowly.

He doesn't even have the "aura" of a god that people imagine. If he hadn't easily taken the lives of the two holy books and the priest of Atum, and the priest of Atum had admitted it himself, Imerton might not have guessed Seeing that he is a god... the Priest of Atum, thinking of him, Imerton was still a little confused.

Everything happened so fast, thinking about it now, he felt as if he had lost his memory, as if everything that happened just now had been pried out of his head.Of course, this was just a feeling, and Phoenix didn't help him erase this memory.

"Because of your love," Phoenix looked down at the kneeling priest with his forehead touching the ground, "betrayed the temple that raised you, the pharaoh who trusted you...and your faith?"

Because the so-called belief has only become a symbol.The title of the priest is nothing more than the title of the priest. In fact, they no longer have the feeling of trust and love for the god they worship every day.Or even like Nirtaly, only resentment is left?Or is it a thug that can be used by the priest of Kao?

"I will punish you, Priest Immorton..."

Phoenix's words made Imerton's already curled up body collapse even more.There’s a sense of resignation, or “so be it.”Instead, it seems like a relief?Zero felt some of these emotions from him. It may be that Imerton, who is born extraordinary, has not yet recovered from the blows of continuous deception. At least Phoenix did not use his ability to suppress him, but he had the slightest desire to resist. All gone.

"I want you to replace Nertaly as the priest of Atum," Phoenix's words made Emerton look up suddenly, "guard Egypt and the atrium on his behalf... for 1000 years."

Phoenix held the Black Book of the Dead in one hand, and put his hand lightly on the Sun Golden Book, staring at Imerton on the ground: "Protect your mutant brothers and help them. Restore the talent you got from me, as far as you can perceive where the pain of mutants is multiplied on you, and the despair they feel is doubly empathetic to you. Helping ordinary people will ease your pain, but you will not escape until you die, and you will always remain sane. I bless your ability It grows every moment, and the energy rises with the sunset and the moon will never be exhausted!"

Imerton's eyes widened, and Zero saw that he was about to struggle as if to say something.But as soon as Phoenix finished speaking, the river of Styx boiled again, pounced on the priest in black robe who had been resurrected from the dead, and vomited out all his gnawed and mutilated soul, while the Sun Golden Sutra restored his body at the same time.

"Ah——" Imerton felt that the punishment of insect bite thousands of years ago was applied to him again, doubled, as if returning to the tear he suffered every moment when he was wandering around in the underworld.

He was, of course, the most eminent priest in Egypt, far surpassing Nerthali's talent, as evidenced by his ability to recite the Two Holy Books at the age of six.His abilities and Nirtaly's only lacked in time, and with Phoenix's blessing, his depleted perception returned to the spiritual world.

He sensed the breath of the entire sacred desert, pious pilgrims, priests praying in temples, warriors guarding under the scorching sun...the gods wandering outside the tomb, guilty warriors, heartbroken mutants...

The appearance of many people is perfect, and the scars seem to have healed, but they have not lost their memory or become stupid. The wounds are only covered, and they still exist after all.He felt that the mutant named Eric was vaguely worried about the status quo of his own race, walking on thin ice, so he was kneeling on the solid ground, but he also heard the whistling from the abyss, as if he was already walking on the hair hanging in the air Up, may fall down at any time, forever.

There is also the god in front of me, with a flawless appearance, but physically and mentally...

Imerton felt that his body had been shaved of flesh and internal organs, leaving only a clean skeleton.

Phoenix suddenly waved his hand lightly. Imerton's last memory was the tired eyes of the white-haired god and his innocence: "Go."

"Shall we go out?" Ling approached Phoenix, showing no interest in Imerton who suddenly disappeared.

When Phoenix moved his body a little, he could feel zero body temperature.

"He is useless here, I sent him back to the Temple of Atum," Phoenix threw the Black Book of the Dead into the subdued Styx water, "this book is also, it is better to send it back to the underworld."

But the Sun Golden Scripture in Zero's hand was indeed given to him by Phoenix.

Following Phoenix's words, Zero asked: "He is nothing like Nertaly, will people recognize him?"

"The priests of Atum all wear masks. No one knows that he is alone from the beginning to the end..." Phoenix paused, and when he continued to walk forward, his voice became softer, "Eternal life is still a matter of life." Don't let other people know."

Some people who are confused by the scene in front of them always think that immortality is a very good thing, and pursue it like crazy.

"They have traveled too far and lived too long, so many things have been forgotten." Ling said.

Phoenix looked at him sideways, shrugged rarely, and said something offensive: "Your apostle chose not to succeed."

"I raised him with my own hands. Since he was still in my mother's womb, I watched him be born and raised him until..." Phoenix whispered, "He is my nephew, although I didn't tell him."

"But you must have done your best to take care of him and love him."

"Hmm..." Phoenix laughed, raised his hand and tapped Zero's forehead, "Don't keep reading my mind."

"If you don't want to, I must not see anything." Zero took Phoenix's hand, "It's just that you know I want to know, so you didn't refuse."

Phoenix pulled him slowly towards the outside of the tomb. As he walked, the altar behind and the road leading to the altar were slowly condensed by sand and stones.

"At the beginning, I also thought that reading minds was very interesting, but I didn't want to watch it after watching it too much," Phoenix said with a smile, "If you know everything, there will be no surprises."

Although, sometimes what you get is a scare, or something... bad.

But life itself is composed of such unknowns, joys and sorrows. If it is single, it will be meaningless.

If it's boring, what are you doing alive?

"Where do we go after we go out? Send Tony and the others back first? Or settle the matter of Thranduil first?" Zero asked.

Phoenix glanced at him sideways, and Zero looked back at him innocently, "Although I 'saw' it, but what I 'saw' it was different from what you said."

"If the power of Egypt is not taken away, if I can send them back to the node they left, Tony, Steve and Natasha may also want to stay here for a while," Phoenix sighed, and said, "First To solve the matter of Thranduil, Yalfheim should also have energy fragments, and to take a step back, if you don’t take away Yalfheim’s energy, with this time buffer, you will definitely recover more.”

Zero smiled and rubbed against Phoenix, almost walking close to him.Phoenix looked at his crooked brows and eyes with a smile, and his eyes full of gloom, there seemed to be light in them...

"Phoenix...you are really a gentle person." Zero said softly.

Although he said he didn't like Egypt anymore, he didn't take away Egypt's energy, and kept Imerton here.When giving him such blessings and curses, Ling clearly felt that Phoenix had extracted the energy of the Sun Golden Sutra.As for the Black Book of the Undead that was left behind by him, its energy was almost exhausted, so he took advantage of the situation and said no.

He hasn't gone to Alfheim yet, but considering what Thranduil said about the disaster caused by Phoenix's apostles and followers, he hasn't gone yet, and he has already begun to think about how to deal with the aftermath and make up for it.

In fact, there is no need to make up for it. To put it cruelly, all the creatures in the Nine Kingdoms were created by Phoenix based on his desire to find someone to accompany him.If there is really anything that cannot be solved, the most decisive method is to directly modify the history, let everything go back to a certain time period, or simply start all over again.

Just thinking about those who were buried, imagine going back in time and changing everything, Charles was not born, Zero died in the experiment, and many struggling creatures lost their lives or simply did not exist, Phoenix would feel sorry for them.

"What gave you this illusion..." Phoenix laughed, "Why do you think Emerton dare not resist me at all?"

Zero didn't care and said: "He has been to the underworld and knows how the cursed soul will be treated. He has experienced it himself, so he is afraid, so he dare not provoke you, for fear that you will throw him back and even increase the punishment."

"Nertaly will regret it." Phoenix said it again. When he questioned Nertaly at the end, he knew that Nertaly, who regretted his eternal life and cursed everything, would also regret going to the underworld.Or rather, more regret.

"His own choice, you have already asked him." Zero held Phoenix's hand, "You always want to feel the emotions of ordinary creatures, so let me tell you, ordinary creatures will not only be happy, but also angry and hate He offended you, it is normal for you to punish him. You think that you are not as good as others when you are caught by Hydera, so you can’t resist your strength, and Nerthali who angered you will be punished if he is punished by you. "

"Even if this punishment is more serious and harsher than the mistake?"

"Then let him go to reincarnation after you calm down."

"I'm not so angry when he's gone..." Phoenix muttered, "Why do I always want to make me unhappy."

Ling smiled: "Then you also set a time limit for him. When the time is up, if you are really not angry at all, let him go, and if you are still angry, continue to increase."

"Don't think that the punishment will be harsh. If you hurt you, you must accept a more severe punishment." Ling Chen said in a deep voice, his face hidden under the firelight fell into the shadows.

The reason why the so-called punishment appeared at the beginning, and the reason why the apostles would die if they were denied by Phoenix, and they could not disobey his orders, was also out of protection.At that time, Phoenix didn't understand, and felt apprehensive about being close to the creatures he created... But now, some people know more, and their hearts are colder, but Phoenix seems to be the other way around. more gentle.

It was only today that Zero felt that Phoenix was probably not as smart as he thought, and maybe even a little silly.
