Boom-!
After the earth-shattering roar, the universe fell silent again.
The scattered phoenix flames were like a falling meteor shower, bursting out with dazzling fireworks.
All of this happened so fast that it was difficult for people to reflect on it. Even the mutants who were lurking beside them in advance, ready to wait for an opportunity to grab food, did not expect Phoenix to be defeated so quickly.
From the time Thor and others were shot down by the Phoenix, to the launch of Iron Man's anti-Phoenix armor, it was almost a thousandth of a second.
The whole process can be described as smooth flow.
Obviously, this was a plan negotiated in advance, so that Thor and others would attract the attention of Phoenix, and then Iron Man would launch a fatal blow.
The anti-Phoenix armor developed by Iron Man and Mr. Fantastic has also been quite successful and lived up to expectations. With a single blow, the decomposed beam learned about the life of the phoenix, allowing the oldest energy in the universe to return in front of the earth.
"Phoenix... was broken?!"
The steel man hiding in the crater on the moon's surface suddenly widened his eyes when he saw this scene, showing a horrified look.
"Professor, what should we do next?!" Laser gritted his teeth angrily and roared, "We shouldn't have waited so long, now that Phoenix has been killed by them, we have absolutely no hope!"
"No, Scott, you're a little wrong."
Professor X's eyes were full of light, staring at the phoenix scattered like rain, and smiled: "We should thank the Avengers, if it weren't for them, maybe we would have set foot on the wrong 'future'."
About the mutant's "prophecy", he has revealed a little bit before.
But the mutants present basically only know the power of the phoenix, which is related to the re-emergence of mutants, but they do not know the details.
"Professor, do you mean that the power of the phoenix must be broken?" Cyclops was a little surprised, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "The power of the phoenix that can be broken, what use can it be to us? Woolen cloth?"
"We don't need the next Jean Grey, understand?"
Professor X thought of the child again, his expression darkened, and said, "When Jean Grey was swallowed up by the phoenix and turned into a dark phoenix, it almost destroyed the entire earth. This is not the result we want to see, Scott. ."
"Jin...you're right, Professor."
When Cyclops heard the name, he lowered his head silently: "We cannot afford a complete phoenix, which will inevitably lead to more serious consequences."
The story of Jean Grey is a pain in the hearts of all the X-Men.
A mutant who was supposed to have a bright future, possibly even surpassing Magneto and Professor X, and reaching the Omega level, was finally devoured by the Phoenix and forced to let Wolverine kill him.
Cyclops thought to himself for countless days and nights.
If Jean hadn't died, wouldn't the future of mutants have come to this point?
But unfortunately, there is no if in the world, let alone if.
"Now, we should go out."
Professor X stared at the falling phoenix meteor and said solemnly: "I don't know who among you can gain the power of the phoenix, but please remember, you must keep your hearts, and don't forget why you are fighting!"
"clear!"
Cyclops, Colossus, Storm, Blink, Beast, Nightcrawler, Phantom Cat, Hope, White Queen, and the nine mutants who can still be contacted today, expressed themselves to Professor X with solemn eyes and expressions in turn. Determination.
The next moment, nine figures rushed out of the crater.
The phoenix fire rain, which fell like a meteor in the sky, seems to have felt the distorted strong will in the hearts of the nine mutants. It changed its trajectory on the way of falling, and turned into five smaller phoenixes, flying like a streamer. Come.
"No, it's a mutant!"
Mister Fantastic Reed saw this scene and screamed in horror: "Hurry up and stop them, they want to intercept the power of the phoenix!"
"What.... a mutant?!"
Iron Man was also very shocked, almost clenched his teeth, and his eyes almost popped out: "This is impossible, why didn't the radar sound an alarm? Where are they hiding?!"
"This is not the time to ask questions, Tony!" Mister Fantastic growled. "We must stop them, and we must not let the mutants take the power of the Phoenix, otherwise... Jean Grey's incident will repeat itself!"
"I know I know!"
Iron Man was sweating profusely, his eyes trembling, and he roared: "But... the anti-Phoenix armor is overloaded, it will take time!"
Everyone knows what the power of the phoenix means.
If, once the mutants are allowed to seize the power of the phoenix, the whole situation will be reversed!
Only from the few words recorded in the data, they have already experienced the destructive power of the Dark Phoenix. With the current Avengers, even with all the members of the Illuminati, it is impossible to stop so many Phoenix hosts!
It is good to have an idea, but rushing to die is obviously not in line with their IQ.
The two of them are just scientific researchers, and at most they have some fighting power. If they really were compared with Thor and the like, they could only be regarded as ordinary people.
If Thor, Doctor Strange, Namor, Vision and the others were not seriously injured by the Phoenix, the mere mutants were simply too simple in their eyes, and they could be suppressed easily.
But the problem is... Now that the highest combat power is all damaged, they are unable to resist at all.
Rushing out hastily, only to be torn apart by angry mutants, which is obviously not what they want to see.
While the two were hesitating, they saw Team America rushing out with a shield in hand.
In the rain of fire falling from the sky, under the splendid light of the five phoenixes, the US team's resolute retrograde back was set off.
"Steve...can he do it?"
Iron Man and Mister Fantastic stared wide-eyed, vaguely expecting.
But the next moment, their expectations were severely shattered.
The U.S. team directly connected the man with the shield, and was blasted away by a laser from Cyclops. The whole person was like a ball, and a blood stain was plowed on the surface of the moon, and then he was dying and stopped moving.
"I was wrong...I shouldn't have expected him!"
Mister Fantastic gritted his teeth in hatred and let out a roar of remorse.
"It's over...Reed..."
Iron Man let out a desperate cry The two looked up together, and saw five phoenixes dragging flames and collided with five mutants.
boom--!
In the rain of fire that burst into the sky, the surging fire of the phoenix ignited the dark starry sky again.
In the huge waves of flames that were blazing enough to ignite the void, five figures burning with phoenix flames stood in the sky like gods, and the terrifying pressure poured down from the sky like a tsunami.
Hope, White Queen, Cyclops, Colossus, Storm!
The emotions of the five of them were the most fiery, and they were chosen by Phoenix to become the new host.
Professor X stared at this scene and murmured, "The five apostles of the Phoenix were born!"
As the observer Utu predicted, there were five mutants who became the hosts of the phoenix.
And they will lead the mutants to rise again from the ruined ruins and recapture from the hands of humans, the glory, freedom, future, and hope that should belong to the mutants!
