I used to believe in science

The center of the war that could end the world only lasted 1 minute... Of course, this 1 minute seems like 1000 years to all the creatures present.The impact of intense light and energy caused most people to miss the battle.In the end, the collision of the two suns seemed to destroy the entire solar system, and everything fell silent.

There was a dead silence around for a while, and everyone's brains were dulled by the violent impact just now.It took a while before Castiel ventured to open his eyes, and he wasn't even sure he was alive until he opened them and saw the scene.He first looked up.The corridor where they were originally standing has completely disappeared, and there is nothing on all sides extending outward like a plain, everything is crushed directly to the molecular level under the impact of force, and there is not a single bit of broken wall to prove that. the existence of corridors.

Then there were two figures lying there not far in front of him.

Only when he saw clearly the bodies of the two people stacked together, Castiel felt powerless belatedly.The actual duel went so fast that his body didn't feel the fatigue of fear.Now that he's conscious, he's slumped to the ground in bewildered senses.

Still he struggled, crawling forward on all fours, and Crowley escaped before they could fight, with Balthazar and Ana behind him in the same situation.He slowly climbed forward a few meters and saw the scene in front of him clearly.

The place where Lucifer and Antoinette lay radiated deep and wide cracks at the center.There were scorched marks on the ground from a pair of huge wings.

Immediately afterwards, the two bodies moved.

The first thing Castiel saw was the trembling of the sleeves of Lucifer's white suit, which made him wake up quickly, stopped trying to struggle, and observed carefully with his breath held.

Lucifer's left hand did move, swept to the side, and landed on the ground, revealing the slender wrist under it.

Antoinette moved her hand, unceremoniously pushed the heavy corpse on her aside, and then stood up.

Gabriel was right. She did have such power. The battle with Lucifer consumed too much energy for a while, but it wasn't enough to be fatal. After a brief coma, she fully recovered. .

She stretched her wings, which were not seen by ordinary people, and felt that the flames on the wings were not as hot as before.That's not because of her power decay, on the contrary, it's a symbol of her refinement of power control.

After fighting off the extra overflowing power, she fully mastered all the remaining and newly generated power, and she merged perfectly with the Phoenix.

"Annie?" Castiel carefully stood up and looked at the people standing there. There were a pair of scorched wings marks on the ground, while the one standing there looked intact, the result is self-evident.Lucifer was wiped out and Antoinette survived. This was the best ending they expected before they came, and it was perfect.

But when the other party turned his head to look at him, the strength revealed in those eyes made him suddenly not sure if the current result was really that good.

"This conclusion is very interesting. Since you think that Antoinette Stark no longer exists after merging with the memory of the angel Annie, why do you think that after merging with the Phoenix, we are still the same person, angel, whatever ?”

"..." This is a question they have never thought about. Their judgment is based on their belief that angels have a much stronger memory than humans, but at the same time, the phoenix is ​​a stronger existence than God's creation.

"Hello, oh, it's such a mess here." Crowley's sudden appearance broke the deadlock and attracted everyone's attention.

When Antoinette looked at him, he was trying to make himself less obvious from the huge scorched wings left by Lucifer, and quickly bent down slightly in a respectful gesture after noticing Antoinette's sight "You killed the Lord of Hell, I wonder if you intend to replace him and lead us."

"Order in hell." Antoinette uttered the word, seeming to scoff at it. Thinking of the first meeting between Natalie and him, the man in front of him, who was wearing an American coat but acted like a British gentleman, looked like a well-mannered businessman... In a flash of inspiration, she looked at him again "actually , I think you are very suitable."

"Wow, that's really pie in the sky." Balthazar stretched his arms and froze in mid-air after hearing this sentence.

"Are you willing to take this pie?" Antoinette raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

The latter stepped back quickly, waved his hands, and made a gesture of zipping his mouth tightly.

Of course Antoinette expected this, disobeying Michael's order is one thing, but taking over Hell means becoming the next Lucifer, no ordinary angel has the strength and courage.But demons are different, they are native species, there is no betrayal of heaven.Michael has always aimed at Lucifer's betrayal of heaven, the existence of hell

"So you think? Or don't you have the guts?"

"I don't know if I have that strength..." Crowley hesitated for a moment, but Antoinette could still see the little thoughts hidden in his heart at a glance.

"He doesn't have that qualification. Even if Lucifer is not here, we still have other princes of hell."

"You demons are quite adaptable to the environment." Antoinette looked at the evil creature that was pushed out to speak but was still shrunk in the shadows because of fear of her, stretched out his hand and patted Crowley on the shoulder, and spoke earnestly to him "Running hell is not much different from running a casino. You need brains, means, and some deterrence." At the same time, she raised her other hand and snapped her fingers before everyone realized what she wanted to do , the circle of demons closest to them exploded into a black mist that scattered in the air, and then gathered back into a human form when she closed her fingers one by one.

"A little deterrent." Antoinette seemed to be doing a demonstration in a serious manner, completely unaware of what a terrifying thing he had done.Any angel can dismantle a human body and reassemble it.But even for an archangel, it is impossible to reunite a soul after it has disintegrated into its atomic state.

And Antoinette did it with a snap of his fingers.

"If you think I can...then I think I can try." Crowley tried his best to ignore the cold sweat rolling down his back, and replied with a smile on his face.

Antoinette was very satisfied with this answer, she nodded, patted him on the shoulder, and then flapped her wings and left.

And everyone else present breathed a sigh of relief after she left.

"Where did she go?" Castiel asked with a frown, he couldn't perceive Antoinette.

"Honestly? I don't really care." Crowley rubbed his hands together to wipe the cold sweat on his palms, and at the same time puffed up his chest. The king of hell who had just taken office gave the first order, "If you have nothing else to do , get out of hell."

Wanda woke up from her sleep.

It is not difficult to wake up from the nightmare, but the difficulty is that the world full of flames in the dream has made it difficult for her to calm down for a long time. Since the day the phoenix came, she has always felt restless.

When she and Piero came to the Avengers headquarters in New York, the others were busy dealing with Phoenix. With Charles' introduction, the Avengers decided to put them in the team for practice observation, so they are now living in the Avengers' mansion. .

When Wanda opened the door and looked out, she could only see the long and narrow shadow cast by the moonlight in the corridor. Piero's door on the opposite side of her was closed and he must be sleeping soundly.So she walked out silently on soft slippers, planning to go downstairs to find a glass of water for herself.

To her surprise, the light in the kitchen was still on, and someone was sitting at the dining table near the door with his back to her.

She stepped harder, hoping to be felt by the other party as she approached.

However, until she walked behind the other party, the other party did not look back at her, so she could only venture around to the front and saw that it was Tony Stark, the gold master of the Avengers and Iron Man.

Unlike the radiant and successful people he usually sees on TV, Stark at this moment looks depressed and tired like a loser.

Maybe he is just a loser, Wanda thought about the recent events in her heart, and watched him.

Even though she walked in front of Tony, the other party still didn't look at her, his eyes were tightly glued to the bottle of wine in front of him.Wanda didn't know the brand of wine, but Tony's eagerness to look at the bottle made her feel that he would uncork the bottle and drink the whole bottle down, just like the drug addicts she had seen when she was a child The look in your eyes when you see those 'goodies'.

This worried her, and she reached out and tried to remove the bottle.

Just then, Tony let out a long, choked sigh. "I won't really drink, at this time."

For a moment Wanda wanted to ask him if 'this time' meant real time or something, maybe both, but she just removed the bottle and said nonchalantly "I'll give you A glass of milk."

"The second floor of the refrigerator, I remember that Jarvis usually puts milk there." Tony told Wanda kindly when she turned around, and then said to her, "I don't want milk, just plain water."

Wanda finally got his wish and poured a glass of water before going to the refrigerator to get milk.And when she walked back to the table with the milk box and sat down, Tony looked at the box in her hand and thought, "This is for Antoinette, she likes this brand, so Jarvis always Make sure you have a good supply in the fridge, even if it might not be used a few times a year."

Wanda also looked down at the brand of milk in her hand, thinking how she would feel if Piero was not by her side. The relationship between brothers and sisters is probably the same between the rich and the poor, so she found that she could Feel Tony's mood now.

There was a moment of silence between them, and then Wanda asked cautiously, "Have you given up on her?"

"What, of course not." Tony raised his head as if waking up, and then answered quickly.
