Chapter 166: 166 - Releasing The Phoenix
"Do you mean to say that one of the beings that existed before the universe was created chose me as a host and is now living inside my mind?" Jean asked in disbelief as she looked at Alex.
Not only was Jean in disbelief upon hearing this, but all the other X-Men were shocked upon hearing Alex's explanation.
"This is a joke, right?" Kurt asked, not knowing how to react, but seeing Alex's serious expression, he knew it wasn't a joke.
"Is there any way I can actually survive?" Jean asked as tears began to form in her eyes.
Seeing how fragile she was, Scott even thought about hugging her to comfort her, but he took too long and Anna and Kitty were already hugging her, trying to comfort her.
But Jean just ignored them and looked at Alex, trying to hold at least a ray of hope in his answer.
With a small smile on his face, Alex replied. "Yes, if there wasn't I wouldn't be on your side now in reality, don't worry."
Hearing this simple fact from Alex, Jean actually managed to become much calmer. Embark on a quest to the commencement at n0v#lbin★
If it was Anna hearing this, maybe it wouldn't be effective, since they were already boyfriends and it would be normal to be there for each other in difficult times, but Jean and Alex were just friends, he had no reason to risk his own life for her like that. way into something she would probably die and kill him too.
With a confident nod, Jean finally showed a serious expression and prepared for what was to come.
"What should I do?" She asked Alex.
"First of all, a warning, if you feel like there's something in your mind trying to break free, there are two things I hope you don't do. Do not under any circumstances completely block the Phoenix from leaving your mind, as leaving it completely The prey is what got us here, but don't let her run wild either." Alex said.
Seeing her confusion, Alex made an analogy. "Imagine it like a tap, don't leave the tap completely closed, otherwise it will explode, don't leave the tap fully open, otherwise you might never be able to turn it off again, understand?"
But to her surprise, the cage was starting to crack, indicating that it would break at any moment, releasing this beautiful mythical bird.
Imagining the damage the Phoenix would do when it broke free caused a tear to run down Jean's eye.
"I'm sorry guys, I don't think I can handle it..." She said in a low voice, while looking at Phoenix without even being able to imagine how she could control such a powerful being.
"Do you remember my warnings?" A familiar voice appeared next to Jean's ear, making some of the despair disappear.
Looking to the side, she saw Alex, looking at Phoenix with a small smile on the corner of her mouth, which she couldn't understand why she looked like that.
"I remember..." She said a little uncertainly.
Alex just continued looking at the bird, before responding. "I told you not to trap her completely, this is the best time for you to take control."
Stopping looking at Alex, and looking back at the gigantic Phoenix in front of her, Jean felt that this would be impossible. She had no idea how she could control a being like this, in her mind, as long as she loosened the cage a little, the Phoenix would use this loophole to break everything and destroy everything around her.
Seeing her indecision, Alex placed a hand on her shoulder, to convey reassurance, and responded. "Don't worry, you're not alone, if anything goes wrong I'll be here to help you."
Feeling that slightly cold hand on her shoulder, with the heat that the Phoenix flames were generating in her mental Landscape, it was like a refreshing soda on a sunny summer day.
With a slightly cooler mind, Jean looked at the Phoenix in front of her and accepted.
"Okay, I'll start." She said as she began to release Phoenix.
