Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.

The state of Apocalypse is visibly improving.

Despair spread rapidly through everyone's hearts like a plague.

They were facing a monster that was recovering at an unbelievable speed and whose defense was maxed out.

Their only hope, the man who could cleave a god in two with a single stroke, was now like a puppet with its strings cut, suspended in mid-air, his fate unknown.

"Haha...hahahaha!"

Apocalypse's laughter came from the writhing half of the body, hoarse yet filled with the ecstasy and venom of someone who had survived a catastrophe.

His lower body, which was hanging from the tree, had turned into quicksand and merged with his upper body.

"Mortal, your biggest mistake is believing that physical strength represents everything!"

As Apocalypse repaired himself, he used telepathy to send his malicious voice directly into the minds of everyone present.

"The realm of the spirit is the true arena of gods! Now, this perfect body, along with those unknown powers, will belong to me!"

His words struck everyone's hearts like heavy hammer blows.

Professor Charles's face was ashen.

What would it mean if Apocalypse successfully possessed Peter's body?

An invincible monster possessing Peter's terrifying power, along with Apocalypse's cunning mind and spiritual abilities...

Without a doubt, he will become the world's nightmare, and no one can stop him!

"The zither!"

In his desperate situation, Charles used almost all his strength to roar at the red-haired girl who had fallen to the ground and whose face was also filled with terror.

"Release it! Jean! Unleash that power deep within you, a power that even I fear!"

Now, only you can stop him!

Jean Grey trembled, her azure eyes filled with confusion and fear.

She knew what the professor was talking about.

That force was her nightmare since childhood.

It is powerful and scorching, yet it is also filled with a destructive desire.

Every instance of loss of control brings irreparable disaster.

"I...I can't do it...I'll destroy this place..."

The piano trembled, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"No! Trust me, and trust yourself!" Charles's voice was filled with an undeniable determination.

"Have faith in Peter! He shielded you from the world's malice; now it's your turn to light his way home!"

To light his way home?

In Qin's mind, the image of that man's handsome face with a slightly irritating smile when he pinned her against the wall flashed uncontrollably, along with his words, "What are you expecting?"

Yes, that guy was a nasty fellow.

But in the most critical moment, they protected them all.

He is now in dire straits, and only he can save him!

Thinking of this, the confusion and fear in Qin's eyes gradually faded, replaced by an unprecedented determination.

boom!!!

In an instant, an indescribable surge of immense energy erupted from her petite body!

Jean Grey's fair face flushed red, and veins bulged on her forehead, as if she were enduring unimaginable pain.

A scorching heat, so intense it seemed to ignite the air itself, slowly emanated from her body.

"ah!!!"

Finally, a shout burst forth from deep within Jean Grey's throat.

It was a cry that mixed endless majesty and ancient vicissitudes, as if a divine bird of the universe that had been sleeping for billions of years was awakening at this moment!

boom!

Golden-red flames shot skyward!

That was no ordinary fire, but the primordial power of the universe composed of the purest life and emotions!

As the flames rose, the phantom of an enormous firebird was vaguely outlined. It spread its wings, which were enough to blot out the sky, and coldly looked down at the whole world with a pair of eyes made of stars.

Phoenix Power!

Before this power, all things in heaven and earth appear insignificant and insignificant.

The air is burning, and space is distorting.

The entire Xavier Academy was now shrouded in a golden-red apocalyptic scene.

"What...what kind of power is this?"

Apocalypse, who was doing everything he could to maintain his shield against the X-Men's attacks and trying to completely format Peter's consciousness, suddenly turned around.

When he saw the cosmic fire phoenix stretching across the sky, a look of fear appeared on his rapidly healing blue face.

As the oldest mutant on Earth, he has witnessed the rise and fall of countless civilizations and plundered the abilities of countless mutants. He considers himself a god and the endpoint of evolution.

But the power before him was completely beyond his comprehension.

It was even more exaggerated than the power Peter had previously displayed!

It is a higher-dimensional existence that transcends genes, matter, and all the laws it can comprehend!

Under the gaze of that firebird, he felt as insignificant as a speck of dust.

The next second, the phoenix's cry transformed into a tangible impact that struck Apocalypse.

Apocalypse's prized energy shield, the barrier that blocked all of the X-Men's firepower, was as fragile as a sheet of paper in the face of this power, and was instantly torn to shreds.

Golden-red flames then swept over.

"No--!"

The heavens unleashed the most terrified roar of their lives.

He frantically activated his self-healing ability, trying to resist the corrosive effects of the flames.

However, his regeneration speed seemed utterly laughable in the face of the Phoenix Flame, which could eradicate existence at its very source.

His flesh and blood, his bones, and his proud, almost immortal self-healing genes were all rapidly decomposed in the flames, turning into the most primitive particles and returning to nothingness.

He was not being killed.

Instead, it is being "deleted".

Upon witnessing this shocking scene, the students of Xavier Academy were speechless with astonishment.

While their attention was focused on the power of the phoenix, no one noticed.

Peter, who was suspended in mid-air and should have been under mind control, had an unprecedentedly blazing light in his eyes.

The spiritual power that Tianqi possessed was eliminated the moment it invaded by the horse talisman hidden deep within his soul.

His previous blank stare was just an act.

It was performed for Apocalypse, and also for the "little red bird" inside Jean Grey.

After all, if you want fish to bite the hook, you have to use some decent bait, right?

In retrospect, the results have been outstanding.

This is not,

Just when everyone thought that Apocalypse would be reduced to ashes in the phoenix flames, a sudden change occurred!

A figure appeared instantly between Phoenix Stream and Apocalypse at a speed completely imperceptible to the naked eye.

It was Peter!

While he was still in mid-air, he reached out and grabbed Tianqi, allowing the blazing flames on Tianqi's body to be guided to his own without reservation!
