Chapter 110

~7 min read 1,345 words

The exchange of hearts is like the idiom 'a dream of a yellow millet' in the East; what is an instant in the eyes of outsiders may have turned thousands of times in consciousness.

It is said that sincerity is the most moving; Professor X, who opened his entire heart, finally let Jean Grey experience his painstaking efforts. She understood the cause and effect of everything; she even knew the purpose that the alien leader accidentally said when she was in a coma due to the extraction of power.

Especially the last item!

She didn't mind giving up power that didn't belong to her to help homeless aliens rebuild their home planet. But the price couldn't be Earth, couldn't be the place where she grew up, couldn't use all the living things on Earth to exchange for a new home for the aliens.

So she had to resist, as an X-Man, as Jean Grey.

Waking up from the slumber of escaping survival, Jean Grey opened her eyes. Although other mutants were liberated, the device that suppressed her X-gene had never stopped.

But the power she was using now was not purely brought by the X-gene. So the limiter couldn't exert any effect and was simply turned into flying ash.

Jean Grey controlled her body to float into mid-air, overlooking everyone with a god-like posture. Her expression was empty, only a pair of eyes looked firm and spirited.

Wu Ke looked at the awakened Jean and just said: "You promised, you would transfer all the power to me."

"Yes, before I knew your plan, I did promise. But why would you think that when you take destroying Earth as a premise, I would still agree to such a thing."

"Then, I can only seize it myself. The result will not be different," Wu Ke said coldly, as if stating a fact.

The confrontation between the two containers of Phoenix Force was a trivial matter for them, but for the outside world, it was no less than a performance of changing the world.

No one knew how many percent of the Phoenix Force Wu Ke had absorbed, or it should be asked whether it made sense to distribute this power by ratio.

However, the fact was that the D'Bari leader Wu Ke did rely on the Phoenix Force to gain some extra abilities. But it couldn't compare to Jean Grey, who had just woken up and began to influence the reality dimension.

Under Jean's influence, the moving train left the track. Like a twist, it rotated in the air, and the iron skin torn into strips was like tentacles extending out, nailing through the D'Bari aircraft cruising around.

Wu Ke, who was in it, didn't escape the fate of being twisted into a rag, and his whole body was distorted and deformed. Only mutants and human soldiers were protected, and everyone was covered in foam-like bubbles, isolated from the rotation and distortion of the outside world.

All aircraft were caught in one net as long as they were within a certain range, and none were spared. Even those D'Bari who were too close and tried to return to the train were pierced by the extended iron skin tentacles and lost their lives.

Only Wu Ke, who was twisted into a twist, did not die because of this. He maintained a clear consciousness and began to contact the mothership lingering in low Earth orbit.

The D'Bari warship broke through the atmosphere in one go and arrived above the battle location. Then it was a ground-to-air naval gun, with a diameter of probably no less than hundreds of meters, which not only blasted the train but also caused serious scorched marks in the range.

The train was just rotten, not completely vaporized, because Jean's power was protecting it. Even those she protected were the same, and everyone stayed in that bubble that seemed to be broken at a touch, safe and sound.

But carrying an interstellar naval gun attack hard was definitely not an easy job. Especially for Jean, who was not yet familiar with using the power in her body.

Although she protected everyone, the crowd was inevitably scattered by this blow, and the protective barrier originally set up was also broken.

The bushes ignited by the naval gun energy and the burning train wreckage provided lighting for the mutants and U.S. soldiers at night.

The D'Bari soldiers gathered from all directions, and the single-person aircraft released again from the aerial warship, besieged the remaining humans.

Their task was very simple: kill everyone here, or at least find a way to contain them. Let their leader face the target person alone and seize the complete cosmic ray energy.

Facing the full-scale attack of a whole warship, whether it was mutants or American soldiers, they were all in danger.

They were just a group of miserable infantry, or infantry with insufficient ammunition. But even if they were given sufficient ammunition, it was not enough to deal with the weapons of the D'Bari with a higher technological level, or the posture of air-ground integrated attack.

Being able to maintain not dying and struggling to parry could be said that the mutants had already performed supernormally. Those American soldiers who were good at dealing with mutants were just a burden that needed others to protect at this time.

Wu Ke, who had returned to his original state, still used his mimetic human appearance and came to Jean Grey.

The reason humans could struggle to hold on, Jean, this master of telekinesis, contributed a lot.

If it were the original her, she couldn't cover the whole field, but the Phoenix Force in her body was really too powerful. What Jean had to do was to get used to using this power to perform more precise operations.

After all, if she exerted too much power, let alone blocking the attacks from both air and ground for humans, even humans themselves would be affected and thus erased from reality.

So Jean Grey could only hold back her power to protect people, which was why others would still be injured.

And Wu Ke wanted to break such a balance. Just like the D'Bari conquering the universe, people who love their companions will inevitably fall into despair because of the death and injury of their companions. The flaws in the heart will become his opportunity to seize power.

So Wu Ke was not in a hurry, but stepped forward to Jean Grey, who was overwhelmed, bringing her pressure.

Both numerical advantage and tactical advantage were on the side of the D'Bari. Wu Ke believed that his side could solve everything before the reinforcements of the natives of this planet arrived.

Because the mental power amplified by the Phoenix Force allowed Wu Ke to calculate what would happen next and seek the most favorable approach.

But he missed one existence, an existence that no one in this universe could understand, even the three ancient powers, an existence that the immortal Phoenix had never encountered.

A Kryptonian who had been irradiated by the yellow sun... a lunatic.

Clown-Supes appeared again, carrying a radio on his shoulder, playing the famous triple-beat song of Queen, "We Will Rock You".

Stepping with a flamboyant pace, strictly following the rhythm of "stomp, stomp, clap", slow but fast, walking leisurely.

As a man who should bring his own BGM, Clown-Supes finally found the reason why his whole body felt wrong, and that was that he lacked a magnificent entrance music.

So he specially went around the nearby town, "borrowed" this radio, and found a suitable cassette to play.

Listening to the music, he couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, although watching the movie on the spot has an immersive feeling, it lacks the hot-blooded soundtrack that goes with it. No wonder I've never been able to get high; it's better to have music."

Under the blessing of the war song, he even felt that the Buff on his body was rising, and he was almost able to kill the Phoenix with one punch!
