"Idol?"

Jean Grey sat on the sofa, a hint of doubt on her face: "Do we know each other?"

Wen Ming smiled slightly: "You'd better not look into my and Kanzaki's brains without permission. I can tell you anything you want to know, but if you invade my and Kanzaki's brains, you will only see things beyond your comprehension, as well as some of the darker aspects of the world."

This is not good for your development.

This is a friendly reminder, not a denial or rejection of you.

Jean Grey was silent for a few seconds: "Why did you come to me?"

"I can help you increase your strength and help you master it."

Wen Ming cut to the chase, and Jean Grey expressed her skepticism: "I don't believe you're as powerful as me?"

After he finished speaking, all the cars outside the window began to slowly rise into the air.

Wen Mingyang raised an eyebrow, never expecting that he would witness the famous scene of Professor X and Magneto's first visit to Phoenix.

However, he didn't panic. Instead, he reminded them, "Please put them down gently, otherwise your father and mother will have to pay a lot of money to the other party."

You wouldn't want your parents to work so hard every day just to solve these problems for you, would you?

I know you understand. You're more mature than us adults. You love your mom and dad very much, don't you?

Jean Grey was slightly taken aback, and the Grey couple standing not far away were also stunned, and then a wave of emotion welled up in their hearts.

Since Jean Grey awakened her powers, they have had to apologize to their neighbors and pay compensation frequently, and they face complaints from others every day.

This kind of life was driving the couple to the brink of collapse.

They never expected that this young man would understand them so well, which made them feel that their efforts were appreciated.

All the cars outside the window slowly rolled down, as if nothing had happened.

Wen Ming smiled again and said, "The power within you is called the Phoenix Force. It is the oldest power in this universe and the creator and source of spiritual power."

"Because the power of the phoenix has endowed you with powerful mental and telekinetic abilities, you are able to read minds, control things, and fly."

Upon hearing Wen Ming's introduction, Jean Grey showed a hint of surprise: "Phoenix Force? Flight?"

"Indeed, this power is extremely strong, and your current physical and mental state are not yet sufficient to control it."

Wen Ming explained patiently.

Phoenix is ​​the most powerful mutant in the mutant universe, bar none. She even burned Apocalypse to ashes.

He is also the only Omega-level mutant.

This is what Professor X said himself. Although there were more and more Omega-level mutants later on, that was the writers' fault.

After all, Iceman has been nerfed to an absurd degree.

When Professor X first met Jean Grey, he was worried that she might not be able to control her powers, and that her powers going out of control would cause her mother's death, so he placed a mental barrier deep in her mind.

This action, however, led Jean Grey to develop a second personality—Dark Phoenix.

It was precisely because of the existence of Dark Phoenix that she killed Mystique Raven, Cyclops Scott, and Professor X Charles in both the old and new timelines.

Charles's move can be described as a trap he himself created.

Wen Ming didn't think he was better than Charles, but he also knew that such seedlings could only be nurtured, not blocked.

In particular, Jean Grey possesses powerful mental abilities. At a young age, she has already glimpsed the inner world of many people, learned about the dark side of the world, and understood how terrifying the human heart can be.

This negative emotion indirectly contributed to the emergence of the Black Phoenix personality in her.

The harder you suppress something, the stronger the rebound will be.

So after introducing her abilities, Wen Ming frankly told her about the existence of the metaverse and the future trajectory of her destiny. He also told her that as long as she followed him, she could be strengthened through this storyline and become even stronger.

The Phoenix Force is difficult to control, naturally because Jean Grey herself is too weak.

They are too weak, both physically and mentally.

Jean Grey's eyes lit up as she listened, and finally she jumped off the sofa and turned to her parents: "Mom and Dad, I'm willing to go with him."

The Ge Lei couple hesitated for a moment, then Wen Ming stood up and walked up to them: "Please rest assured, I will have someone bring her back to reunite with you from time to time."

Distance is the best remedy for your family. You will not lose your daughter because of it; on the contrary, the distance will make your relationship even stronger.

Her abilities are currently out of control, and if they were to lead to tragedy one day, it would become a wound that your family can never heal.

Both Jean Grey and her husband were highly educated, but after Jean Grey's loss of control led to Mrs. Grey's death in a car accident, Mr. Grey never forgave her for the rest of his life.

It was his refusal to forgive that led to Jean Grey losing control again, killing Mystique Raven.

The Graces were silent for a moment, then Mrs. Grace knelt down in front of her daughter and hugged her: "Promise me you'll take care of yourself."

Mrs. Grey was extremely reluctant to part with Jean Grey. Compared to Mr. Grey, she loved Jean Grey much more, but it was precisely because of this love that she understood she had to let go.

My daughter and I are not the same kind of people. If I want her to grow up healthily, I must give her freedom.

"Don't worry, Mom, I'm leaving so that I can be with you better in the future."

Jean Grey's arrogance had vanished. Her eyes were filled with tears, which she struggled to hold back. But Wen Ming said at that moment, "Jean, cry when you want to cry, laugh when you want to laugh. Don't suppress your emotions. That way you'll feel more at ease."

Jean Grey burst into tears upon hearing this: "Mom, please don't die! Don't drive!"

Mrs. Grey stiffened, then hugged Jean Grey tightly: "Mom promises you, I will always wait for you to come back."

Jean Grey then looked at Mr. Grey: "Dad, promise me you'll take good care of Mom."

Mr. Grace nodded emphatically: "Don't worry, I love your mother, and I love you too."

After crying for a while, Jean Grey went upstairs to pack her luggage. When she saw Wen Ming using the capsule to help her pack all her luggage, she didn't make a fuss like Wanda did. But Wen Ming could tell that the little girl really wanted to know what was going on.

In essence, she is no different from Wanda.

She has always suppressed her true nature.

Thinking of this, Wen Ming felt even more pity for her.

"This is a multi-purpose capsule, a gift for you."

Wenming handed the all-purpose capsule to Jean Grey and taught her how to use it.

Jean Grey looked embarrassed, but after playing a few times, the innocence of a child finally appeared on her face.

Wen Ming smiled with relief upon seeing this.

The most difficult mutant to deal with has finally been dealt with.

"Let's go, I'll take you to your new home."

The soaring somersault cloud made the little phoenix involuntarily spread its arms wide: "Wow, this is so much fun! When will I be able to learn to fly?"

"I believe you'll be able to do it soon."

Wen Ming rubbed Qin Ge Lei's head, his lips curving upwards in a smile.

I finally got to RUA Phoenix.

It's unclear whether this Phoenix version is from the old timeline or the new timeline.

Prayer is the old timeline version.

There's no way around it, the old timeline version was just too awesome.

Well, I've heard the Marvel reboot is also very beautiful, but it'll probably be difficult to surpass the old timeline.

……

"Boss, this is King Haban Rimai of the Pearl Clan of Mu Star, and this is Queen Aloy next to him."

After meeting Professor X and the others, Wen Ming and Jean Grey were about to return to the hotel when Harley Quinn happily dragged him to Planet Mu.

"This is their son, Prince Suri, and Princess Liho Mina."

After introducing the group of people, Harley Quinn pulled out eight beautiful Pearl Clan members from Mu: "These eight are the most experienced pearl divers on Mu, and also the best at taking care of the transformed beasts. They were selected from among the six million Pearl Clan members who are destined to die."

At this point, Harley Quinn leaned close to Wen Ming's ear and whispered, "They and Liho are the nine most beautiful tribal princesses on the entire planet. I spent several days choosing them."

Wen Ming shook his head. This harem girl was causing trouble again.

He rose and shook hands with King Haban, Queen Aloi, Prince Suri, and nine beautiful Pearl people led by Liho.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, Lord of All Realms. I am deeply grateful to you for saving my six million people."

King Haban and Queen Aloi bowed respectfully to Wenming and expressed their sincerest gratitude.

"I think anyone would lend a helping hand when they see such a tragedy happening in front of them," Wen Ming said modestly with a smile.

Princess Li Huo looked at Wen Ming with curiosity. When she found that Wen Ming was not as imposing as she had imagined, but rather so humble and polite, her goodwill towards him increased greatly.

The eight Pearl Clan princesses standing behind her also blinked their beautiful eyes at Wen Ming.

They already knew they were destined to die and could never return home, and they also knew that they could only serve the man before them in exchange for his protection of their people. So everyone was very curious about what kind of man he was.

Seeing how gentle the other party was, the eight of them exchanged glances and all saw the joy in each other's eyes.

Jean Grey was equally delighted.

Standing beside Wenming, her powerful spiritual energy allowed her to clearly perceive the heartfelt gratitude that King Haban, Queen Aloi, and Prince Suri held for Wenming.

One can also clearly sense the nine princesses' happiness, excitement, gratitude, and awe towards Wenming for being able to stay at the Iron Hotel.

This made her even more certain that the man named Wen Ming was not a fraud and could definitely help her.

"No, only the great Lord of all realms can save us from annihilation."

King Haban sincerely said, "Such power is no different from that of a god."

Wen Ming waved his hand: "It's too early to talk about all this now, because I can't be sure whether you will face another annihilation after you leave Mu Star."

From now on, you must be cautious, but you must also strengthen yourselves so that you will have some ability to cope with disasters like this next time.

It is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others.

You can purchase all the hotel's merchandise and technology.

King Haban was startled and bowed again, saying, "Your generosity is as vast as the stars and the sea. The Pearl Clan of Mu will be your eternal ally."

"It's my pleasure."

Wenming extended his hand and shook hands with King Haban again.

King Haban turned to his daughter and eight princesses: "When you go to the hotel, you must follow the arrangements of the Lord of All Realms."

The nine princesses nodded in unison. They walked up to Wen Ming, pressed their right fingers to their foreheads, and then gently stroked their right hands towards him, saying, "Please, great Lord of all realms, take us in."

"Welcome to the Iron Hotel. You can call me 'boss' from now on."

Wenming greeted them with their courtesy, then looked at Hill beside him: "Hill, how far along is the relocation of 600 million people?"

"They're still boarding the ship. After all, 600 million people is too many, and they can't take that many with them all at once."

Hill expressed his concerns: "I'm afraid that the Western humans you let go will come back to this space, and that might lead to another genocide."

Hill's words cast a shadow over King Haban and his companions. They looked up at the direction of space, where a steady stream of landing ships were descending from the sky, but compared to their 600 million people, it was still far too few.

"Have you found the destination planet?"

"Found it, these are the coordinates of New Mu Star."

Hill took out a cosmic star map and showed it to Wen Ming.

Wen Ming asked curiously, "Why not have Index open the portal?"

Hill shook her head and said, "She tried, but she couldn't hold on after sending only a little over a thousand people."

Wen Ming nodded: "Call her over."

Soon, Index arrived from the metaverse. Upon seeing Wen Ming, she happily rushed over: "Wen Ming, did you miss me?"

But she quickly softened: "Oh, you've been stealing my food again, stealing my books."

Wen Ming was also helpless. He suppressed his joy and released Index: "Send me to New Mu Star."

Index nodded, and with a flick of her right hand, a sparking portal opened.

"Leave it to me next."

Wen Ming stepped across to the other side and in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the seaside of a new planet.

The Pearl Tribe people have already built new houses by the sea, and they are both curious and wary of Wen Ming.

Wen Ming lightly pressed his forehead with his right index finger, then smoothed his right hand towards them, and the Pearl Clan members immediately returned the greeting.

Feeling that the sea breeze here was basically the same as on Mu Xing, Wen Ming was increasingly satisfied with Hill's ability to handle things. He suddenly slammed his two wrists together, and a huge spatial rift was instantly torn open on the beach.

Seeing the spatial rift that resembled an apocalyptic scene, the Pearl Clan retreated in terror. They didn't know what was happening and thought they were about to face annihilation again.

Wasn't that man just now supposed to know our Pearl Tribe's etiquette?
What... wait? It's the King!

When the Pearl Clan saw the King, Queen, and other members of their clan emerge from the spatial rift, their eyes lit up with surprise and delight.

King Haban and his companions were also pleasantly surprised.

"This spatial rift can exist for 15 days, so please have your people relocate as soon as possible," Wen Ming explained.

"Wen Ming, you're amazing! I can only last for about ten minutes."

Index ran to Wen Ming with a look of adoration on her face, exclaiming repeatedly.

The little phoenix girl was also astonished. She stared at the spatial rift in front of her, thinking it was a miracle.

Can our mutant powers achieve this level?

Can my Phoenix Force do that?
Everyone in the Pearl Clan was equally shocked.

King Haban, Queen, Prince, and others looked at Wenming with increasing awe.

The nine princesses, including Li Huo, looked at Wen Ming with awe, curiosity, and admiration for a strong person.

Harley Quinn wasn't about to let such an opportunity slip by. She laughed loudly, "See that? That's a miracle!"
The boss previously sent all the spaceships to other universes with ease, and now he can transport you across hundreds of light-years to New Mu. Tell me, isn't he your new god?

Without saying a word, King Haban, along with his queen, prince, and princess, knelt deeply on the ground: "Great gods, please save all our people."

Wen Ming was utterly speechless: "Harley, I've already said, I'm not a god. I just used the quantum bracelet to open a spatial portal." "Is that so?"

Harley chuckled and said, "Then why can't others do it? Even Index can't do it with magic."

Enraged, Wen Ming slapped Harley Quinn on the butt, then helped King Haban up: "Get up, this is the power of technology."

"Then you must be the god of technology!"

King Haban's face was full of certainty.

Wen Ming felt a toothache: "Think what you want, just move out quickly. We only have 15 days, don't waste them. I'm going back to the hotel."

After saying that, Wen Ming pulled Index and Phoenix, who were still wide-eyed with surprise, away from where they stood.

Hill glanced at Harley and then said, "I'll go and move everyone from the warship over here."

After Hill left, Harley turned to King Haban and said, "I didn't lie to you before, did I?"

King Haban nodded vigorously: "Indeed, I have witnessed a miracle today!"

Harley raised her hands, embracing the sky: "I've witnessed far more miracles. Would you like to lead your people to join our Golden Dawn?"

"want!"

A fervent glint also flashed in King Haban's eyes.

Such a god of technology must be followed!
Harley giggled: "Very well, then you have nine princesses..."

King Haban immediately looked at Princess Liho: "From now on, you will serve the Lord of All Realms wholeheartedly. Remember, you are now the Lord of All Realms' people."

He is your only true God. You will do whatever he commands, even if it means your death!

The nine princesses nodded repeatedly, their eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

Serving such a god?

We are so lucky!

Harley smiled slightly: "Then let's go, we can't keep God waiting too long."

……

After returning to the hotel, Wen Ming took Qin Ge Lei to the rooftop of Building 1.

Jean Grey was a little confused, but she still obediently followed Wen Ming to the rooftop.

However, the moment she stepped onto the rooftop, a sense of fear from the depths of her soul suddenly made her tense up.

"I...I'm scared."

Jean Grey instinctively grabbed Wen Ming's clothes, and black lines gradually spread around her eyes, a powerful force stirring within her.

Seeing this, Wen Ming was overjoyed and quickly communicated with the White Tiger's mind. Soon, a beam of shimmering white light shot out from the White Tiger and landed on Jean Grey.

Immediately, the Phoenix Force within Jean Grey seemed to surge out of her body uncontrollably, transforming into a fire phoenix tens of meters in size.

"Chirp—"

As soon as the fire phoenix appeared, it immediately cried out at the white tiger, but the white tiger's white light was so powerful that it compressed the phoenix to the size of a meter.

The condensed fire phoenix wanted to express its dissatisfaction again, but the white light on the white tiger intensified once more, and the fire phoenix immediately flew to its side, transforming into a phoenix sculpture.

"嘤——"

Having lost the power of the Phoenix, Jean Grey suddenly collapsed backward, and Wen Ming quickly caught her in his arms.

"What's wrong with me?"

Jean Grey looked weakly at Wen Ming, feeling a sense of panic.

This was the first time she had felt so powerless since awakening the Phoenix Force.

"The divine beast White Tiger helped extract most of the Phoenix Power from your body and placed it here."

Wen Ming pointed to the phoenix sculpture and said, "In the future, you can continuously improve your physical and mental strength. When you can control more phoenix power, you can come here to pray to the phoenix, and the phoenix will bestow phoenix power upon you."

By taking this gradual approach, you will eventually be able to fully master the Phoenix Force!
However, this process could be lengthy, as the Phoenix Force is the most powerful force in the mutant universe.

Upon hearing this, Jean Grey's insecurity subsided slightly: "Can I really regain my power?"

"Of course you can, you can pray to it right now."

Wen Ming carried Jean Grey to the Phoenix. Jean Grey held her hands to her heart and murmured to the Phoenix, "Phoenix, please grant me power."

A line of fire immediately shot out from the fire phoenix's mouth and landed on Jean Grey. Jean Grey was overjoyed and was about to absorb this power, but the line of fire circled around her and then left.

"what happened?"

Jean Grey was alarmed: "You're lying to me?"

"No, it's because Phoenix believes your body can't handle any more power right now."

Wen Ming ruffled Jean Grey's hair: "You need to improve yourself."

Jean Grey was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, then said, "Please teach me."

Wen Ming immediately smiled: "Then let's start with reading."

"read?"

Jean Grey was completely stunned.

What is the connection between reading and improving physical health?
Wen Ming carried her into the elevator, went directly to the second basement level, and took the sonic boom tunnel to Building 3 at the bottom of the sea.

"Hi boss!"

Upon seeing Wen Ming arrive, many employees and time travelers in the square greeted him. Wen Ming smiled and nodded, then handed Jean Grey to Melina: "Arrange a room for her, introduce her to Wanda and Little Wukong, and then have them attend classes together."

"Leave it to me, boss."

Melina took Jean Grey's hand: "Hello, I'm Melina. Do you like the ocean view room?"

Can you see clownfish?

"Of course you can. In fact, we are holographic projections; you can even sleep lying in the starry sky."

"I want I want!"

……

Seeing that Jean Grey was easily dealt with by Melina, Wen Ming smiled and stepped into the elevator, descending all the way to the laboratory.

The laboratory now occupies three entire floors, with Bulma alone owning an entire floor.

Upon seeing Wen Ming arrive, Bulma excitedly dropped her tools and jumped into his arms: "You naughty boy, have you been bewitched by some little vixen lately? You haven't come to see me in so long!"

"I'm going to get you this good stuff."

Wen Ming reached out, and an adorable transforming beast appeared in his hand.

"so cute!"

Bulma happily accepted the Transformation Beast: "What is its working principle? It can actually replicate things like a treasure trove."

"I don't know, but this is a divine beast of the universe level. Luckily, we obtained it before the destruction of Planet Mu."

Wen Ming took out a pearl, a specialty of the planet Mu, then found a large basin, put the transformed beast in the basin, and then put the pearl in its mouth.

The transformed beast squinted its eyes, happily swallowed the pearl, then shook its body, and the tips of its two tentacles lit up with white light.

The next second, it was as if pearls were raining down on the transformed beast.

"Wow--"

Bulma watched the pearls fall continuously and exclaimed in surprise.

Soon, more than a hundred pearls appeared in the large basin.

The transformed beast frolicked in the pile of pearls, then jumped onto Wenming's shoulder, its two tentacles turning pink.

"These pearls—"

Bulma picked up the pearls, her first thought being, "Can they really beautify the skin?"

Wen Ming chuckled: "It should work, after all, Princess Li Huo washes her face with these pearls every morning, so it should make her face more radiant... right?"

Bulma was immediately excited and rushed towards the large basin: "These are all mine!"

"This is all energy, be careful."

Wen Ming reminded him, "The energy contained in a single pearl reaches 2000 million tons, enough to power ten spaceships."

The combination of this pearl and the transformed beast is absolutely heaven-defying.

"Of course I know, I've already seen the film. The thing is, it's good for beauty!"

Bulma excitedly scooped up a handful of pearls, rolled them on her face, and then looked at Wen Ming: "Do I look more beautiful now?"

"Have."

Wen Ming responded decisively.

Bulma was immediately delighted and hugged Wenming's head, giving him a big kiss: "I want to wash my face with pearls every day, so I'll be the most beautiful woman by your side and make those old women jealous to death."

Wen Ming was both amused and exasperated. He pinched Bulma's cheek and said, "No one can replace you."

Bulma immediately softened: "Are we going to other universes tonight?"

"I'm not going. I'll stay with you tonight."

Wen Ming picked up a pearl and examined it carefully: "I need to study this pearl carefully. If possible, this pearl will become one of the most important energy sources for our hotel in the future."

Bulma's attention was immediately diverted: "That's right, our mechs, somersault clouds, robots, and even androids can use them as energy."

Unfortunately, a transformed beast can only be transformed three times a year.

Wen Ming nodded and reached out to pat the transformation beast's head: "Moreover, we need a uranium mine; it consumes high levels of uranium."

"High-grade uranium? Leave it to me."

With a wave of her hand, the wealthy Bulma took on all the food for the Transformer. The Transformer immediately jumped onto her shoulder, nuzzled her face with its head, and its two tentacles turned pink.

"The little guy gets excited when he hears there's food."

"It likes you, let it follow you."

Wen Ming picked up a pearl and was about to examine it when the icy touch on his fingertips made him pause.

“High-level uranium…radiation…” he muttered to himself, his brow furrowed. “Did I miss something crucial?”

Bulma, who was teasing the Transformer, didn't even look up when she heard this and teased, "You're not trying to say that radiation can enhance the Transformer's power, are you? Isn't that part of the original storyline? A lot of manga and movies like to use radiation to enhance superpowers, don't they?"

"No, no, it's not a transformed beast."

Wen Ming narrowed his eyes, his super-powerful brain working at lightning speed to quickly capture the thought that had just flashed through his mind.

Since being enhanced time and again, his brain is now completely different from before. His thinking speed and memory have reached an astonishing level. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he hugged Bulma and kissed her wildly several times.

“Honey, you’re my muse! You’ve reminded me of something important.”

"What...what did I remind you of?"

Bulma was dizzy and her cheeks were flushed. Although she didn't understand why, this sudden surprise made her heart race.

This feels really good.

A few more bites.

Wen Ming quickly pressed his combat power detector: "After Qing, immediately summon Dr. Zhao Hailun, Dr. Erskine, Dr. Maya, Rebecca, and Beast Hank to Bulma's laboratory."

And the White Queen, the Rapids, the Angels, the Red Devil—come along too!

"Received!" came the calm voice of the Empress.

Bulma straightened her disheveled collar and asked curiously, "Why did you call them here?"

"The Black King's nuclear radiation theory!"

Wen Ming's eyes gleamed with excitement: "The Black Emperor once said that radiation gave mutants life and could make them stronger."

He advocated using nuclear war to eliminate humanity in order to enhance the abilities of mutants.

Although this concept was later downplayed, it's impossible for an old fox who has been studying mutants since World War II to make such a conclusion without any basis.

He's not some kind of world-ending madman.

Bulma's research interest was immediately piqued: "Yes, yes, I remember that scene too. I thought it was just an excuse he came up with to destroy the world."

Wen Ming paced back and forth excitedly, “Think about it, apart from Hank, almost no mutant scientists in the X-Men universe have systematically studied the X-gene.”

But that's understandable. All mutants are busy evading capture and have little education, so they don't have the funds or time to study this.

Hank, on the other hand, was more focused on figuring out how to become a normal person again.

The same applies to humans; they have been researching how to eliminate mutants and make their superpowers disappear.

The research direction was off from the start.

Even the Sentinel robots research how to replicate superpowers using Mystique's X-gene and how to make superpowers compatible.

Later, Stryker researched how to enhance superpowers when creating the X-series weapons, but he focused more on replicating Wolverine's X-gene and continuing Bibolivar Trask's ideas, fusing various different genes.

Only Black King has focused on how to acquire and enhance superpowers for a full twenty years!
He has studied mutants longer than Bolivar Trask and Stryker; no one knows them better than him.

He turned around abruptly: "Magneto's 'mutant converter' in X-Men 1, which can turn ordinary people into mutants, I suspect is just a nuclear radiation amplifier."

There's also Apocalypse's superpower that can enhance mutant abilities—which is very likely some kind of application of nuclear radiation superpowers!

At this moment, the White Queen gracefully entered the laboratory, confirming Wen Ming's guess to everyone.
