I started with the Ice-Ice Fruit, and Spider-Woman Gwen came after me.

[1. Ichizawa Kaori: Facing a special female hero, you can develop a relationship beyond friendship with her, which will yield great rewards. Quest Reward: Blue Blind Box. (Stacks 2 times) Quest Attributes: Independent Side Quest, Infinite Quest.]

[2. Infinity Stone Collection: Each Infinity Stone collected will grant a Golden Blind Box. These tasks cannot be stacked. Upon collecting all six Infinity Stones, in addition to the Golden Blind Box reward, the host will receive one Black Blind Box. Task Completion: (0/6)]

Just then, the system's pleasant voice rang in my ears.

[Mission 3: God of the Mortal Realm. Strike hard and show Apocalypse who the true ruler of Earth is, and who the true god of the mortal realm is! Reward: Golden Blind Box, Steel Body Upgrade!]

Hao Longtao's eyes brightened slightly.

Golden blind boxes are great stuff.

But he can collect them using the Infinity Stones.

However, Hao Longtao was surprised by the advancement of the Steel Body.

To upgrade the Steel Body, approximately 400 million Desire Points are required.

This is also why Hao Longtao has been slow to break through the limits of his steel body.

You can also strengthen your steel body by exposing it to the sun.

Two additional skills have appeared in the attribute panel.

Casting and enchanting.

Both require exceeding the limit of desire value.

But Hao Longtao knew that breaking through the fourth stage of the gene lock would also improve two skills.

Psylocke followed Hao Longtao's advice.

I did not leave New York.

She had just joined the Osborne Group.

I'm still getting used to many things.

There's no need to leave.

An organization in England sent her a message urging her to steal the genetic technology as soon as possible.

However, her recovery was due to insufficient access permissions.

All core information about gene technology is not available for viewing.

This gave her ample reason to stay with the Osborne Group.

Although she had already decided to leave England and settle in New York.

But having lived in England for so long, I've developed quite a few feelings for it.

Therefore, it would be very difficult to ask her to leave all at once, to give her a choice.

Hao Longtao made her choice with her feelings in mind.

"It's getting dark."

Hao Longtao murmured.

There is thunder in the sky.

He sensed powerful Asgardians breaking through the void and arriving on Earth from the realm of the gods.

“Loki has obtained the special metal he needs.”

"He is now boarding the Flying Aircraft Carrier, preparing to implement another plan."

"Let the Avengers lose their footing."

"He wanted to steal energy from Stark Industries' reactors."

"Use this power to release the Space Stone and open the portal."

The gloomy sky made people feel unhappy.

Hao Longtao knew that New York was about to face its moment of catastrophe.

Even the military, which is in the way, is considering using humanity's trump card: nuclear bombing of the aliens to disrupt the portal.

This is all part of the future storyline.

But it kept churning in Hao Longtao's mind.

But looking at this war from his current perspective, it seems like a child's play.

Compared to the grand scale and destruction caused by Apocalypse, the Battle of New York is truly incomparable.

Now the apocalypse has returned.

If we cannot find him soon.

Those around him could be killed by this cunning old fox who has learned to be discreet.

This is what Hao Longtao is really worried about.

He was never afraid of fighting.

"Do we have to go back to the Wizel School for Gifted Youngsters? Use the mental amplifier to search the globe and pinpoint Apocalypse?"

However, the hidden apocalypse must have been prepared for Professor X Charles Witzel's methods.

Because he knew that Charles Wiesel, in his old age, was not someone to be trifled with.

"Observe the situation calmly and wait for the right opportunity."

The idea popped into Hao Longtao's head.

But he quickly shook her off.

This is not his style.

The Ice Demon's majesty does not tolerate provocation.

If his territory is invaded again and suffers a huge blow, many forces will take advantage of his misfortune and do everything they can to kill him.

And they plundered the secrets of the Osborn Group.

The Osborne Group is now seen as a treasure trove by others.

You seem to have something on your mind?

A familiar, mature voice echoed in Hao Longtao's mind.

A spiritual connection across a vast distance.

"Qin, is your trip over?"

Hao Longtao stepped into the realm of the soul.

He saw Jean Grey in a red dress.

The mature and charming Qin has lost the bitter and resentful aura she once possessed.

She felt completely relaxed, radiating a burning light.

Hao Longtao enjoyed the radiance emanating from her phoenix power.

Qin turned around and looked Hao Longtao up and down.

He showed a very surprised expression.

"Hao, you always surprise us. In such a short time, your power has become even stronger again. You make me feel very threatened."

The restless power of the phoenix, and the resulting rage, surprised Qin.

This means that Hao Longtao already possesses the power to threaten her, who has the power of the phoenix.

“I’ve been growing all along, and so have you. Your changes make me very happy.”

Hao Longtao's slightly upturned lips revealed his true feelings.

"I tried your method, cut ties with the past, forgot what was gone, and started anew. Along the way, I witnessed the tenacity of life. Looking back on the first half of my life, I realized that I am truly a person favored by Lady Luck."

Qin smiled sincerely.

She's doing very well now.

They also began to accept life, to embrace more beauty, to be infected by the Phoenix Power within their bodies, and to calm down the Phoenix Power.

"Everyone's destiny is not predetermined. You must take control of your own destiny, but you need to know what kind of destiny you want."

Hao Longtao's physical body, holding the suspension ring, opened a spatial passage in the next second, and he appeared next to Jean Grey, the Phoenix.

Sitting on a rock by the sea in Norway.

The two gazed at the seaside and the beautiful starry sky.

There was no opening.

Jean Grey broke the silence first: "I have a feeling that something big is going to happen, and it's about mutants."

Hao Longtao looked at the Phoenix Girl Qin and suddenly smiled.

"Enjoy life. You're doing well now, free from the entanglements of your past fate. Leave the rest to me. You should know my capabilities; I can resolve the things you have a premonition about."

That's true confidence.

"The mystery surrounding you is becoming increasingly difficult for me to understand. But I know that your potential has undergone a tremendous transformation. I contacted you earlier because I was worried about what you might be doing..."

Hao Longtao: "Is it a bad thing?"

"Yes!"

Jean Grey, the Phoenix, knew everything she had done in New York.

"This isn't a bad thing; it means I'm gaining more control over my own destiny. Don't worry, my mind hasn't been corrupted yet. I'm still the lustful and greedy devil you know."

Hao Longtao's gaze was like lightning, his X-ray vision constantly piercing through obstacles.

We saw Iron Man and Captain Steve Rogers fight Thor Odinson, the Hammer Guy.

"looking at what?"

"Jean Grey, the Phoenix, suddenly asked."

Hao Longtao grasped Phoenix Girl's (Li Zhao's) hand and shared his perspective with Qin.

Jean Grey raised an eyebrow slightly: "The person who wields the Thunder Hammer is very powerful, and his body has enormous potential, but he doesn't know how to unleash it. He can only control his power through the Thunder Hammer."

"He is Thor Odinson, the god of thunder, and a figure from our country's mythology."

Hao Longtao explained.

"Thor?"

Ginger was surprised.

"That bound, sinister-looking man is Loki, the god of evil."

Phoenix Jean Grey immediately became interested.

"You want to get involved?"

"They are the first superhero team assembled by S.H.I.E.L.D., and they are still quite inexperienced compared to the X-Men. Each of them has their own thoughts and temperaments, and they are all in the process of getting to know each other. I have no intention of taking action against the Outer Man and letting them miss this great opportunity to hone their skills."

Hao Longtao stood up.

"I'm so glad you could chat with me; it helped resolve my inner turmoil."

Hao Longtao plans to leave this place and return to New York.

"The moon is beautiful tonight, Hao."

Phoenix Lady Jean Grey looked at Hao Longtao with a smile.

Hao Longtao's smile widened: "The wind is also very gentle."

Their eyes met, and their gazes became entangled.

The Phoenix Woman's belt was untied by an invisible hand.

Meanwhile, large amounts of seawater rose to the surface and began to condense into igloos.

“Ms. Grey,” Hao Longtao said in a gentlemanly gesture.

Phoenix Girl placed her hand in Hao Longtao's hand.

Between the strong, a powerful magnetic force allows Phoenix to unleash her true nature.
