Chapter 1049

~6 min read 1,182 words

"Why are you looking at me? I know he is Professor Charles, but his people dared to attack the Master, so that makes them enemies!"

"Since they are enemies, I don't care who they are—they must die!"

Distortion argued with sound reasons, saying it as if it were a matter of course.

In fact, she wasn't wrong; this was the duty and principle of the Void Guard—as long as they are enemies, no matter who they are, they must die!

It's just...

This was Professor Charles, after all; although the members of the guard team came from different worlds, they all had some connection with Professor Charles to a greater or lesser extent.

And we didn't come here with the Master to start a war or look for trouble, did we?

Furthermore, Professor Charles hadn't even made a move and was preparing to explain, but before he could even finish the word "misunderstanding," he was killed by a reversal.

It was truly... too caught off guard!

Rebecca, oh Rebecca, if you want to talk about ruthlessness, you are the ruthless one.

Fine, you're a ruthless person!

"Professor!!!"

The young Jean Grey, who was controlled by the Phoenix Force, actually regained consciousness because of the Professor's death, but the aura on her didn't weaken; instead, it became even stronger.

"Power!"

"Lend me power!"

"I want to avenge the Professor!!!"

The young Jean Grey roared hysterically in her heart at the Phoenix Force; she wanted power, power that could defeat the enemy!

"Okay."

The Phoenix Force responded, and immediately after, it handed over all its power to the young Jean Grey without reservation.

The angry yet rational young Jean Grey faintly had a trend of turning from the Dark Phoenix into the White Phoenix.

"Is this a burst of power? Pity... it's useless!" Su Quan shook his head slightly, still methodically devouring her Phoenix Force.

In an evenly matched situation, a sudden burst might indeed influence the result, but in a high-end crushing game, even a burst couldn't bridge the gap in strength!

Strong is strong!

Weak is weak!

The Phoenix aura behind the young Jean Grey was monstrous; even the dullest person could feel her irritability and madness, but the battle situation didn't reverse because of this. Instead, her burst made the hungry Fairy Force even more excited and joyful, devouring more and faster.

In just a few dozen seconds, the restless flames of the Phoenix Force dimmed, and the young Jean Grey was left with a look of disbelief.

"Ho... how could this be?"

"Impossible, this is impossible..."

"No!!!"

The young Jean Grey roared unwillingly, and the Phoenix Force also let out a soul-stirring cry.

Then, there was no then.

The Phoenix Force in the young Jean Grey's body was like a candle that had burned out, and the monstrous flames turned into sparks little by little.

Can a single spark start a prairie fire?

As Su Quan's enemy, a single spark can only be extinguished!

"Bang!"

After the Phoenix Force was completely devoured, the young Jean Grey sat weakly on the ground, her face still lingering with disbelief and confusion.

The force field disappeared, the sky returned to clarity, and Su Quan walked out of the lifeless scorched earth, glancing at the miserably dead Professor Charles.

Did the Professor deserve to die?

He shouldn't have died!

In the end, this was actually a misunderstanding caused by Cyclops's recklessness.

Professor Charles was a smart man; they had dealt with each other before and had some friendship, so it was impossible for him to be his enemy.

Was Distortion wrong?

She was doing things for him loyally and strictly following orders, eliminating enemies who attacked him—she certainly wasn't wrong!

Compared to X-23 and Lauren—one injured Cyclops, one trapped Beast—her style of wanting someone's life as soon as she came up did indeed lack a sense of proportion.

But Su Quan didn't care, and he wouldn't blame a member of the guard team who was loyal to him and doing things for him wholeheartedly just for the sake of the Professor!

And... if the members of the guard team had to weigh things when making a move, was there any need for this guard team to exist?

Of course, Su Quan didn't want the members of the guard team to become cold-blooded, ruthless killers, nor did he want them to take lives in every situation.

But he wouldn't deny Distortion's approach, let alone punish or scold her for it—you really think people's hearts won't go cold, right!

Su Quan smiled and patted Distortion's head gently, then turned and came to Beast.

Distortion chuckled; Su Quan hadn't let her kill people casually before—of course, he didn't let her now either—but she was a member of the Void Guard, and protecting the Master and eliminating the Master's enemies was her duty and obligation.

So she didn't care who the other party was, whether they should be killed, or whether it would cause trouble after killing them.

She only adhered to one point: if they dare to attack the Master, they are enemies, and since they are enemies, no matter who they are, they must die!

Su Quan waved his hand, and Lauren behind him instantly retracted the air wall.

Beast, having regained his freedom, hurriedly ran to the Professor's corpse, looking at the miserably dead Professor, kneeling and staring.

"Long time no see, is this how you intend to welcome me?" Su Quan said indifferently.

Beast looked up at Su Quan, his eyes full of anger: "You killed the Professor, and you still want me to welcome you?"

"Who is he?"

"Tell me who she is!"

"I want to kill him, I must..."

Before Cyclops, who was pinned to the ground, could finish his harsh words, he was stabbed by X-23 again.

"Idiot who can't see the situation clearly!" X-23 cursed coldly.

Su Quan shrugged at Beast: "The Professor is dead, you aren't dead yet, Cyclops isn't dead yet, and the students in the school aren't dead yet."

"Are you sure you aren't prepared to welcome me?"

Beast stared and snorted coldly: "You're threatening me?"

"Nonsense!"

"If I'm not threatening you, am I telling you a joke?"

Su Quan rolled his eyes at him and said irritably: "We've known each other for a while, there's no need to be at daggers drawn; don't just stand there like a fool, get up quickly."

Hearing Su Quan's words, Beast sneered and said: "If knowing each other for a while leads to this outcome, I'd rather not know you!"

"Bang!"

Su Quan slapped him on the head: "Stop being sarcastic with me; your students dared to attack me, so my people naturally dare to attack you. This cripple died, he can only blame himself for being less skilled."

"My people can make him die, and naturally can make him live. If you keep blabbering, I'll take my people and leave, and you can dig a hole and bury him yourself."

"..."

Beast blinked blankly: "Yo... you're saying the Professor can still come back to life?"

What is Distortion's ability?
