American comics: Starting with gaining Spider-Man's abilities

Chapter 148 Confronting the Black Phoenix

Besides Professor X and Magneto, there was another person in the room. The man with the steel mask turned around and tensed up when he saw Li Buying. For a moment, he even thought that it was Li Buying who had attracted the [Giant Attractor].

"Hello, Dr. Doom, Victor von Doom."

Li Buying reached out and shook his hand, then turned to look at the other two. Professor X smiled kindly and said, "Li Buying, you're finally back. Now we'll talk about—"

"Oh, you can handle the national affairs yourselves. I'm only in charge of military defense. I'm just here to let you know so you can rest assured."

The fictional organization has stated that it will not get involved in internal affairs, so of course he won't interfere. The main reason is that he gets a headache whenever he hears about politics, so he'd rather leave such troublesome matters to Professor X and Magneto.

"Mr. [Giant Source] is quite...free-spirited."

Doctor Doom watched Li Buying walk out and said to the two mutant leaders in front of him, who were somewhat embarrassed, that from the conversation just now, he could tell that Li Buying was indeed more like a nuclear bomb, just as he himself had said.

After all, he didn't seem to interfere in affairs. A powerful person who didn't care much about power was a perfect partner, which made Victor envious.

"Hehe, after all, he's still just an adult. Let's continue discussing the collaboration."

Briefly skipping over this topic, the three continued discussing cooperation. The two mutant leaders did not seem too resistant to cooperating with Latvinia; having reached the level of leaders, Professor X would no longer be as righteous as before.

……

Emerging from the temporary government building, Li Buying felt a sudden loss of motivation, unsure of what he wanted to do, and not in a hurry to go to the New World.

He plans to time travel twice. The second time, he'll go to the DC Universe to cause trouble for Doomsday. Before that, he wants to spend some time with Lorna. Other than that...

Help build a town?

Upon arriving at a construction site, Storm, who was directing the mutants' actions, tensed up when she saw Li Buying arrive. She wasn't particularly afraid, but it was just an instinctive reaction when facing someone so powerful.

"Hello, mega-source."

"Just call me Li Buying or Maginos. Do you need any help? I'm bored right now."

Storm Girl raised her hand to brush away the white hair that was soaked with sweat and stuck to her face, and said hesitantly, "Oh, most people can do manual labor, but I don't know if you can handle this delicate work."

"I'll take a look myself first."

Li Buying shook her head, knowing that her strength and previous actions had deeply etched her authority into the minds of the mutants, so she decided to find something else to do.

Arriving at a newly prepared foundation, he asked Ai to send him the structure of the entire building and other information. The mechanical girl then created something resembling a taskbar on her specially made contact lens.

The instructions for building the house, including what was needed, how to do it, and to what extent, were all clearly stated in the simplest way. With her help, Li Buying quickly understood the construction method and began to work with a light snap of her fingers.

All the necessary supplies flew through the air towards the foundation in an instant, and upon landing, they automatically began to sink into the ground, assembling like building blocks.

From small nails to large load-bearing structures, the basic structure of a building was successfully completed in 30 minutes. If it weren't for the time needed to reinforce the concrete or other materials, he could have built the entire house directly.

As he was inspecting the basic structure he had built, Storm, who was supervising the construction, rushed over, looking somewhat helpless: "Mr. North, I hope you won't interfere with the construction progress. Many people have been drawn here by you."

"Alright, alright, I'll be going then. I won't disturb your operation."

Bored, Li Buying apologized and said goodbye to the mutants who were working hard to build their homes. She then left the construction site, wondering whether she should go to the new world.

The problem is that we'll be back in the same timeframe after we get back from there, so it'll be a few days later.

"I've finally found you, Mr. Magee North."

Just as he was about to leave, he heard Cyclops's voice behind him. Li Buying turned around and asked, "What is it, Mr. Cyclops?"

"You don't know where the accommodation is, do you? I'll take you there."

Li Buying thanked him and followed him to a house that was slightly different from the others. This house was more like a villa and was furnished with brand new furniture.

"Both Professor and Magneto want you to live here, to become a symbol like them, to achieve a separation of powers."

Simply put, the hope is that Li Buying can serve as a mascot. Even if he doesn't do anything and just stands there, he can give all mutants a lot of encouragement and make them no longer afraid of the future.

The triangle is the most stable shape. Even though Li Buying showed indifference to power, Professor X and Magneto still hoped that someone could help them make another decision when they disagreed and could not decide on the direction.

Li Buying, or rather the "organization" behind Li Buying, can accomplish this, because mutants have been benefiting from that secret organization from the beginning until now.

Magneto and Professor X were well aware of this. As for whether the organization had ulterior motives, they had also seriously considered it. Even the most cautious Magneto had to admit that mutants seemed to be of little use to this organization.

The Prophet foresees the future, the Hacker roams the digital ocean, and the Weaver and the Mega Source can handle most things. This organization could directly control some developed countries.

Unless mutants serve some other purpose for them, they are genuinely acting out of goodwill toward the world and toward mutants.

Now the two are just waiting to see what happens next, hoping that what the "prophet" said is true and that alien creatures are about to invade Earth.

"The separation of powers and its symbolic meaning... Okay, then I'll stay here. Oh, and there's something I need to tell Professor X and Phoenix. I think you and all the X-Men should know."

Li Buying stepped into the house, then, as if remembering something, turned back and looked at the bewildered laser-eyed man with a meaningful gaze:

"The prophet stored an energy within me. He said that energy can suppress or even eliminate the negative personality traits within Phoenix. It's up to you to choose. Remember to call me when you're all free."

"You...you're telling the truth!?"

Upon learning that Jean Grey's negative personality might be eliminated, Cyclops excitedly grasped Li Buying's hand, thanked him, and immediately left to explain the matter to the others.

Li Buying entered her villa and looked around at the layout with great admiration. She realized this was her home. After walking around and figuring out the layout, she sat down and tapped her head.

Since returning, although he has appeared to be idle, he always felt that he hadn't done something. After sorting through his complicated thoughts, he suddenly opened his eyes, got up, and walked outside.

I almost forgot that Aunt Dane and Uncle Dane were still here!

……

When are you getting married? Did anyone get hurt? How's things going with Lorna...?

Feeling a bit weary, Li Buying stretched as she walked home. When she went to visit the Danes, they were preparing dinner for the hardworking mutants in a makeshift restaurant, essentially acting as chefs.

Upon seeing Li Buying, the two immediately went up to him and went to a secluded corner to inquire about his recent situation.

My first concern was whether he was injured, followed by whether any ordinary people in New York had been harmed because of his actions, and then how he was getting along with Lorna.

Feeling the care and concern of her relatives, Li Buying finally felt that she was still a human being.

After dealing with the Danes, he learned that his two relatives did not want to live with him anymore, so he did not continue to disturb their lives. He returned home and slumped on the sofa, and after a while, he started playing games.

The idea that having superpowers makes games less fun is pure nonsense. Anyway, Li Buying has a lot of fun playing competitive games with her own human cheat codes.

While enjoying the thrill of instantly defeating someone, time passed little by little. Hearing a knock on the door, he stopped his original idea of ​​starting another game, got up and opened the door to find X-Men.

"Please come in, everyone."

Make way, Li Buying sat back on the sofa and lightly snapped her fingers to place the prepared black tea and some snacks on the coffee table. Phoenix Girl asked impatiently:

"Mr. North, are you telling the truth? Is there a way to get rid of my alternate personality?"

"We need to try it first. The prophet said that if I don't handle it properly, it might cause you to go berserk again. With my current strength, I can bring you back down. Anyway, you guys need to come with me to another island. It's safer there."

Li Buying shrugged: "How so? Have you made a decision?"

Upon hearing that there was danger, Cyclops's first reaction was not to want his girlfriend to be in danger, but Phoenix eagerly said, "Okay, I want to try."

"The zither!"

"Scott, don't stop me!"...

Li Buying, who wasn't in a hurry, listened as the X-Men began to discuss and even argue about Jean Grey. In the end, Professor X made the final decision and agreed to Phoenix's own choice.

As soon as everyone stepped out of the villa, they were all lifted up by Li Buying and soared into the distance. It took them more than 20 minutes to reach a deserted island far away from the mutant island.

Telling the other X-Men, except for Phoenix, to step back, Li Buying gestured for her to shake his hand. Jean Grey prepared herself and extended her right hand to shake his.

The pure tiger power flowed unimpeded into Jean Grey's body through physical contact. She clearly saw the two tigers appearing in Li Buying's eyes, and her mind was immediately drawn to them.

The two tigers slowly separated, and Li Buying was ready to stop the separation at any moment, fearing that the [Black Phoenix] would come out with the power of the phoenix.

The X-Men around saw Phoenix's figure overlap, one being the original Jean Grey, and the other with a fierce expression, her negative emotions materializing into black mist that clung to her face.

"Black Phoenix..."

Professor X gripped the handle of his wheelchair, ready to exert his power at any moment, while Li Buying on the other side took a breath.

He could sense the energy field fluctuations emanating from the Phoenix Force within Jean Grey, and now he was certain that it had no intention of moving into the Dark Phoenix's body, so he continued to increase his power.

The power of the tiger flowed in continuously, and as time went on, he finally tore Jean Grey and Dark Phoenix apart completely!

As the two sides separated, Black Phoenix immediately opened her eyes and adjusted her state. She roared and released her psychic power, stirring up the surrounding soil and launching more attacks aimed at Jean Grey and Li Buying.

Having finally broken free from the shackles of her dominant personality, she absolutely refuses to go back; she wants to destroy everything!

As a completely negative personality, the Dark Phoenix, filled with rage and destructive desires, is clearly more powerful than Jean Grey in terms of destructive force, and everything nearby is being disintegrated and annihilated.

Phoenix Girl, separated from her negative personality, reacted slowly. Upon seeing herself being attacked, she hurriedly raised her hand to defend herself, but someone beat her to it. Li Buying, bracing against the force field shield, directly arrived in front of Black Phoenix.

"you--"

Before Black Phoenix could speak, Li Buying slightly raised her hand, and a tremendous force slammed into Black Phoenix's abdomen. If Black Phoenix hadn't constantly maintained a psychic shield around herself, she would have been shattered to pieces long ago.

Even though she wasn't seriously injured, she still flew into the sky. Li Buying nodded to the others and followed. The X-Men could only see dark, sand-like things dancing in the air.

"I'll follow them and see."

Storm flew up to see if she could help, but the dark sand gave her an extremely dangerous feeling, making her dare not get too close. At the same time, she watched as the two fought higher and higher, almost reaching outer space.

At this moment, Li Buying stared at the black phoenix in front of her, grinning with excitement. Her muscles tensed subconsciously as she manipulated gravity to collide with the black phoenix's materialized psychic power.

The black sand was a special phenomenon caused by the Black Phoenix's spiritual power influencing reality. Li Buying was quite envious of this special effect, since his own abilities didn't have any special effects.

Raising his hand and aiming at the black phoenix flying upwards above his head, he found an opponent he could fight with unrestrained ferocity and finally revealed his berserk side.

The immense pressure forced Black Phoenix to use her telekinesis to create a protective barrier around herself. She could feel the invisible force field around Li Buying gathering, transforming into countless unseen swords that were thrusting towards her!

"die!"

Dark Phoenix is ​​also someone who acts without talking. Even without the Phoenix Force, she is still one of the top mutants in the Omega class. At this moment, she uses her telekinesis to reverse the force field around Li Buying and makes almost the exact same movements.

The fluctuations of the two forces began to clash, and the surrounding clouds formed all sorts of strange shapes, like iron filings encountering a magnetic field.

This also means that the two people have an impact on the surrounding magnetic field, and as the confrontation continues, the impact becomes deeper and farther.

boom!

With a powerful collision, Storm was thrown far away. In her line of sight, a black storm tried to attack another small figure, but could not get any closer.
