In front of Superman, you have no choice but to give yourself to a little girl.

Countless towering buildings were completely twisted and hung upside down in the sky! The whole world seemed to be swept into a giant kaleidoscope!

The Ancient One stands normally atop an upside-down building, one hand behind his back.

In the distance, a figure clad in purple armor floated silently in mid-air, a strange magic book hovering in its hand. As the pages turned, eerie black mist, seemingly capable of corrupting everything, continuously poured out.

"The Dark Book..."

Ancient One frowned, his face grave, because the other person was holding the Dark Book, which corresponded to the Book of Vishanti and contained countless dark magic spells and the method to summon the god of the underworld, Sithon.

Once that guy from another universe summons Sithon to this universe... Gu Yi just hopes that guy will be rational, after all, summoning Sithon comes at a price.

Unfortunately, the Ancient One knew perfectly well that those who had been steeped in dark magic were generally not very rational.

"Supreme Master, the great Kang has no intention of conquering this universe."

"We're just grabbing something, and we'll leave right away."

The figure clad in purple armor, Kang, the Infinite Conqueror of the Multiverse who possessed a variant of the Dark Tome—the Dark Tome Kang—looked at the Ancient One and spoke with some impatience.

The Ancient One is very strong. Even though the Dark Book Kang is a practitioner of both technology and magic, he did not gain any advantage in the brief exchange just now.

Faced with Dark Book Kang's words, Ancient One simply shook her head. She couldn't possibly agree, and she was too lazy to waste words with such a guy.

Dark Book Kang frowned. "It seems you've made your choice. In that case, I don't mind incorporating this universe into the Kang Dynasty's territory!"

Buzz—The time technology mounted on the right arm of the Dark Book of Kang lit up!

At the same time, the Dark Book in his left hand flipped rapidly, and Kang used the Dark Book to cast "borrowed" chaos magic!

A strange crimson energy instantly dyed the entire city within the mirrored space red, with only a single, dazzling green light remaining unobstructed—the Ancient One had activated the Eye of Agamotto, and the Time Stone within it shone with a brilliant light.

Although she wasn't afraid of a real fight, she still wanted to ask one question—according to the message her future self sent back, there should have been a powerful henchman that even Eternity highly regarded who would travel back in time to help her… So where did my top henchman go!

……

In outer space, two flames, seemingly insignificant compared to the planet beneath their feet, were now unleashing a world-destroying force!

Amidst the phoenix's cry, raging dark red flames surged and swept across the land!

A slender figure was lifted up by flowing nebula-like energy, her beautiful eyes shining with an eerie deep red glow like two miniature stars, and her fiery red hair moved without wind, leaping like burning flames.

Now that Jean Grey has grown from a little girl into a mature woman, even Wayne would find it hard to call her a "kid" anymore, given the stunning curves outlined by her tight-fitting battle suit.

However, Qin's current state is somewhat abnormal. Her originally fair skin is now shimmering with a faint light, and magma-like energy is spreading through her body like blood vessels.

A deep red flame, seemingly capable of devouring everything, spread out behind it like a pair of fiery wings. However, these wings were strangely sharp, like a pair of fiery hands reaching out to grasp the void. Nothing, including light, could escape its devouring power.

An angry and desperate phoenix cry surrounded her, her cold phoenix eyes fixed on the figure in the distance. Her charming face was indifferent, but the rage hidden beneath it even affected the surrounding space, making it subtly distort.

Qin raised her right hand and made a loose grasp, as the gathered crimson flames swirled and swept over the figure in the distance.

However, as another majestic phoenix cry rang out, the terrifying deep red flames were completely blocked by another equally powerful golden-red flame!

That was also a figure clad in purple armor, with golden and red flames swirling around him—it was none other than the power of the Phoenix!

"What a waste of resources."

With his hands behind his back, Phoenix Force gazed at the deep red flames with an expression as if admiring something beautiful.

Seeing this, Qin Xiu frowned slightly, and was enveloped by the power of the phoenix, transforming into a stream of light that attacked the power of the phoenix.

However, just as her right hand formed a claw, gathering crimson flames to strike the Phoenix Force Kang, the opponent's figure mysteriously and with an extremely dangerous evasion of her attack.

The Phoenix Force transformed into a golden-red streak of light and flew away into the distance, while Qin transformed into a deep red streak of light once more and chased after it.

The crimson flames crashed against Kang's Phoenix Force like waves, but each time Kang easily dodged or blocked them with the Phoenix Force.

The two moved at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, they had circled most of the earth.

"You are no match for the great Kang."

Having dodged the attack once again, Kang, the Phoenix Force, glanced at Qin with disdain—Qin had only recently acquired the Phoenix Force, and even in her current berserk state, with each attack carrying a world-destroying aura, it was merely a rough application of the Phoenix Force.

Kang could tell from Phoenix Power that Qin probably didn't even know how incredible things she was capable of at that moment.

She wasn't even aware that she was unconsciously influencing the reality around her, let alone the subtle manipulations of spacetime and matter.

The opponent's weaponized mental abilities made Kang of the Phoenix Force realize that the opponent had no understanding of the true nature of this power.

"To only produce incredibly crude destruction... what a waste of resources!"

A hint of anger also appeared on Kang's face—ultimately, he was also jealous, jealous of Jean's unparalleled compatibility with the Phoenix Force.

The Phoenix Force is conscious; its preference for the zither makes it difficult for Kang to forcibly take it away from the zither.

Kang originally planned to guide Jean to commit suicide, and then appear as the "second host who is also compatible with the Phoenix Force," so that the unclaimed Phoenix Force would choose him. For this purpose, he even sought the help of two other equally powerful Kangs.

However, with the appearance of the Sorcerer Supreme, they knew that they had been discovered after all—which forced the Phoenix Force to directly adopt the simplest and most brutal backup plan: to seize the Phoenix Force first and then consider the remaining issues!
