American Comics: The Matrix

Chapter 498 Thor: What, I have three mothers?
Too weak!

Beyond the universe, the phoenix spreads its wings, its fiery feathers supporting countless universes, each scattered spark enough to extinguish and reignite a star.

Before Him was a completely charred body.

Thor's gleaming silver armor had completely melted under the intense heat, and even Mjolnir, forged from Uru steel, was destroyed by a power that transcended the laws of nature the moment it came into contact with the phoenix flames.

He gave Thor a chance, but it was clear that Thor was not ready to become his host.

Originally, a presumptuous creature like Thor, unable to withstand His power, would only meet one end: becoming a pitiful ashes.

But this time He showed mercy.

He still has his last breath, but whether he lives or dies depends on whether Thor can pull through.

Violent! ! !
The boundless firebird once again let out a cry that shook the multiverse, flapped its wings, and departed into the depths of nothingness.

The contradiction transcended time and arrived beside Thor. Looking at Thor, who was completely decayed and emitting only the last embers of heat like burnt-out charcoal, it frowned and said, "Whether we succeed or not depends on this moment."

He had long known that Thor could neither intercept the Phoenix nor become its complete host.

Perhaps in the future, but Thor isn't qualified yet.

From beginning to end, he had only one goal—to give Thor a portion of the Phoenix's power.

Although it is far from the full power of the Phoenix, it is much more controllable.

Now, it remains to be seen whether Thor can pull himself back from the brink of death. If he succeeds, he will be reborn, and the remaining Phoenix Force will erupt from every cell in his body, bringing about a transformation in his life.

Failed……

Dr. Contradictory had no choice but to flee with Thor's corpse.

Thor knew nothing about this.

He had no idea that Dr. Contradictory had actually tricked him, making him gamble his life on something impossible.

His consciousness sank into the cold darkness.

Fragments of memories from his long-forgotten infancy seared his last senses: the icy caves of Jotunheim, the suffocating despair in the biting cold, and then... a warm golden flame enveloped him, dispelling death.

But that flame, the life-saving flame in his memory, he felt with unparalleled clarity now—it shared the same origin and essence as the phoenix fire that consumed all things. There was no pity, no choice; it was simply part of the cold, ruthless workings of the universe, flowing through a dying infant at that very moment.

In the void, only the flames of the phoenix burn eternally.

"It's not impossible to accomplish."

Dr. Mao Dun muttered to himself.

“Thor, your first breath was the flame of the phoenix. It merely flowed through your body, yet it saved your life.”

This is a fragment he found in countless hours and throughout history.

Saul Odinson.

He had a father with boundless divine power, and also had three mothers.

He was born in the body of Flamebringer, the former host of the Phoenix Force, gestated in the body of the ancient god Gaia, and grew up under the loving care of the goddess Frigga.

It is precisely because of this connection that Dr. Contradictory believes Thor can succeed.

He and Thor floated in the boundless void, waiting for an unknown amount of time, until the charred corpse had completely cooled and the sparks had been extinguished.

But the contradiction revealed a hint of joy.

"When the old things have burned out, it's time to rekindle the new fire."

As he finished speaking, Thor's body lit up as if by a spell.

Endless phoenix flames burst forth from that charred body!
Wow!
The sound of flames burning echoed in the void.

The black, charcoal-like substance became the shell of the newborn Thor, and as firelight ignited from the cracks, Thor was reborn from the ashes!

He radiated golden light, flames swirling around him like clouds, and the melted armor had somehow reappeared on his body.

At this moment, Thor became majestic and silent, like Odin.

His piercing gaze fixed on the boundless universe. He stretched out his palm, and amidst the raging flames, the Mother of Death, the Storm, was reborn. Mjolnir, bathed in the power of the Phoenix, took on a faint golden hue. The crimson cloak behind him vanished in that instant.

It flows like a cloak of flames, or like the wings of a phoenix in full bloom.

He is none other than Thor, the Phoenix Apostle!
"Dr. Contradictory, let's continue our pursuit of the phoenix," Thor said sternly, looking down at his palm. The energy within him was unbelievably powerful!
"I feel like I can control Him now!"

He even felt that he might be stronger than Bant.

This is not an illusion.

Aside from Superman X, Bant's watch contains no power capable of countering the Phoenix Force.

Conversely, to reach the same level as Phoenix Apostle Thor, one would at least need to be a hero who has merged with X-Men.

"Don't let power blind you, Thor," Paradox reminded him.

"The power of the Phoenix is ​​a power that is difficult to control. What you have awakened now is only a very small part of it."

"If you become blindly arrogant because of this power, you will eventually become the phoenix's puppet. The flames in your body will burn away your mind from within, and then use your hands to bring destruction to the world."

Thor lowered his head and remained silent.

He didn't think what Mao Dun said was correct.

The immense power had overwhelmed his mind, making him feel invincible.

Seeing this, Mutual Affair had no choice but to say, "Don't forget your days as a mortal, Thor."

Thor suddenly came to his senses.

A look of lingering fear crossed his face.

He was once arrogant and naive, thinking that his military strength was enough to suppress the Nine Realms. He was stubborn and reckless, which led to those tragedies.

Now that he has obtained a portion of the phoenix's power, those foolish thoughts have returned to his mind, and this time they are even more terrifying.

Because his power has increased, his destructive and destructive forces are also more terrifying.

This made Saul feel ashamed.

I felt like I hadn't grown at all, and I almost repeated the same mistakes.

“Repeating the same mistakes is part of being human,” Mao Dun said with a smile.

Humans always make the same mistake again and again.

"you're right."

Thor nodded.

He only possesses enough power to be called a god.

In terms of intellect, he may not even be as wise as the wise among ordinary people.

He gave up chasing the phoenix, but his gaze remained fixed on the direction the phoenix had gone, and he asked, "So He will go to Regidormon?"

Mutual Affirmation nodded: "There are the containers He Himself chose."

"Who?"

Thor asked, and the only people he could think of in Regidormon were the Celestials and the Asgardians who had moved there.

He certainly didn't want the phoenix to bring destruction to Asgard.

“Neither Anor nor Asgardian,” Mutual Anecdotes chuckled, uttering a name.

"..."

……

"Yes, it's you, Hope."

The White Queen looked at the Cursed Witch and sighed, "You will become the host of the Phoenix Force and then save us mutants."
