Chapter 184: Phoenix Force vs Chaos Magic

Tony's words caught everyone's attention, and he shrugged, "I think maybe those people can help you. Jean also sensed this, which is why she went to find them."

"Humans have an innate instinct for self-rescue."

"When a person believes that someone can help them, they will instinctively seek that help. Although I don't know what happened to her, judging by her actions, she is likely trying to save herself."

Although Tony was not an expert in psychology, he had some understanding of it, and it was evident that Jean's current actions aligned with this self-rescue phenomenon.

His words also calmed everyone present.

Tony's description seemed to accurately reflect Jean's situation.

"But are they really willing to save Jean?" Scott frowned. He didn't doubt Wanda and the others; the main issue was that they didn't know each other at all. Moreover, Jean rushed over so aggressively, her demeanor looked more like she was ready for a fight rather than asking for help.

"Trust them. I believe they are good people." Although Scott and the others did not know that group, Tony was at least acquainted with the twin siblings.

Despite the troubles the twins had brought him, even killing Obadiah, Tony believed they were kind-hearted. Otherwise, given their childhood experiences, they would have completely turned to the dark side. Instead, they even went out of their way to protect him and the innocent guards during battles.

Tony's words slightly reassured everyone.

In the eyes of the crowd, Wanda and the others had already finished eating and drinking, looking relaxed while sipping on juice. Suddenly, they saw Jean flying over aggressively. Hulk, Sif, and the Warriors Three immediately stood up in a wary manner.

After all, Hulk and Logan both possessed instincts sharper than those of beasts, and Sif and the others were battle-hardened warriors, with danger senses no less acute than Logan and Hulk.

Jean's state was terrifying.

Everyone else also stood up, watching as Jean slowly descended in front of them. Loki's face showed a hint of interest. The Phoenix Force, one of the most powerful sentient beings in the universe, had come to them on its own.

Loki had some understanding of Jean's state.

Purely in terms of perception, he was much more astute than Thor.

"Something seems off about her." Even the blunt Thor noticed something was wrong and quietly alerted the others.

Bella tilted her head, her eyes flashing as she pursed her lips and frowned.

She looked at Wanda, who noticed Bella's gaze. They exchanged glances and nodded. Wanda and Bella walked up to Jean.

Jean wasn't particularly tall, about 1.7 meters. She was shorter than both Wanda and Bella. Facing them, Jean's expression was indifferent, her eyes staring straight at them with constantly changing emotions: pleading, madness, ferocity, gentleness—a complete contradiction.

"Two personalities, the primary one is being influenced."

The ground and buildings began to shrink, and the sky's color started to unify.

Ultimately, the entire world rapidly changed into a different setting.

Suddenly, Wanda, Jean, and Dark Jean found themselves on a luxurious yacht slowly sailing on the ocean. The bright sky and warm sunlight bathed the yacht, with seagulls flying overhead and whales occasionally leaping in the distant sea.

The entire world now seemed beautiful and harmonious.

This sudden change made Jean's primary personality somewhat uncomfortable, but it also alleviated her previously tense and suppressed emotions, relaxing her without the need to combat the dark persona.

Conversely, the dark persona was momentarily bewildered before her face contorted with anger and madness. She sat on the yacht's top deck sofa, glaring viciously at Wanda, who was sipping juice.

As if reflecting her mood, the previously clear sky darkened, rolling thunder clouds gathered, and lightning raged, heralding imminent darkness like an apocalypse.

"Can we talk?" Wanda spoke, her tender voice now filled with authority, a majestic aura sweeping across the sky and earth, instantly dispersing the gathered clouds, restoring the sky to its former brightness.

Dark Jean was thoroughly displeased. Her violent and crazed nature compelled her to act directly, flashing before Wanda and reaching for her neck.

Jean's primary personality instinctively wanted to warn Wanda, but before she could, Wanda acted first, grabbing Dark Phoenix Jean by the neck and lifting her forcefully.

"Since talking is off the table, let's try a different way to communicate."

Bang!

Wanda's right hand violently flung Dark Phoenix Jean several thousand meters away. Afterward, Wanda smiled sweetly at Jean's primary personality, a smile so sweet that it left Jean stunned and dumbfoundedly nodding.

Seeing this, Wanda remained silent, for the flung Dark Phoenix Jean had already stabilized herself and, in a fit of rage, manipulated the terrifying Phoenix Force to raise colossal waves, as if to engulf the entire yacht.

Wanda was well aware of the Phoenix Force. With her years of studying magic and ancient texts, she had become quite knowledgeable.

The power of the Phoenix Force was undeniable, but Wanda knew that the current Phoenix Force was incomplete and still weak. No matter how strong Dark Phoenix Jean was, she couldn't surpass Wanda.

As Dark Phoenix Jean manipulated the towering waves, Wanda countered with a simple reality alteration, instantly erasing the massive waves.

This sudden disappearance stunned Dark Phoenix Jean, who had been smiling with excitement. She couldn't believe her eyes. What was this sorcery? Wasn't this her power to wield?

Before she could figure out why this happened, Wanda reached out again.

Buzz!

Scarlet chains burst from the sea, attacking Dark Phoenix Jean, who instinctively tried to use the Phoenix Force to eliminate them. However, the scarlet chains disregarded her powers, instantly binding her in a humiliating manner. Wanda flew over, grabbing Dark Jean's face with a small, pale hand, and said fiercely, "Can we talk now?”
