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

Chapter 150 Gods and Men

Everything in the static force field came to a standstill. Li Buying's clasped hands rotated in two directions and were placed in front of her chest, then slowly separated.

The gravitational waves in the force field resonated with the gravitational waves emanating from between his palms, and tiny black dots, symbolizing a weakened black hole, quickly appeared in the gap between his palms.

He gently pushed it forward, and the black hole ignored the static force field, slowly but resolutely crashing into the black phoenix. The static force field was dispelled the moment it touched the materialized psychic power.

In Li Buying's eyes, two or three minutes had passed, but in the perception of the two people who were enveloped, time did not pass at all. Thor and Black Phoenix only saw that his movements suddenly shifted, and a black dot carrying a powerful gravitational wave was thrown out by him.

-

A sharp bird cry resounded in the ears of the three. It was the mental fluctuation that was released when the psychic wave collided with the gravitational wave. It entered their minds like a cry. At the same time, the black hole expanded instantly, and blackness covered the entire body of the phoenix!

"Ahhhhh!"

The Black Phoenix raised its hand, trying to influence the Phoenix and free it from the black hole's grasp. However, no matter how much the Phoenix struggled, it could not escape the pull of the black hole's entrance.

The seemingly all-consuming blackness slowly rotated, drawing the light emitted by the phoenix into the ring. The expanding black hole emitted faint light, gradually forming a ring-like structure. The black phoenix's spiritual power was also gradually distorted by it, slowly disintegrating.

Danger, danger, danger...

Her sixth sense told her that death was coming, and she finally felt fear and tried to back away. Li Buying simply withdrew her arms and pushed forward, and the black hole that was entangled with the phoenix slowly moved towards the black phoenix under its pull.

The force field entangled the Black Phoenix, who roared and tried to fight back, but the gravitational wave was too enormous. Even attacking its weak points could not destroy or weaken the overall structure of the black hole in a short time. At the same time, even using her psychic powers, she could not break free from this enormous gravitational force.

The black hole was like a giant maw, chewing on the phoenix while trying to swallow the black phoenix whole. The black phoenix's complexion worsened as it forced itself to overuse its psychic powers, but it could only barely stop the black hole from advancing.

"Get in here!"

"No!"

Li Buying made a grabbing motion, adding the final straw for Black Phoenix. She felt a huge force pushing her from behind, as if someone had kicked her hard, sending her straight into the black hole.

She was caught in the gravitational wave's range and could only withdraw all her mental energy to build a shield to barely hold on. However, this did not solve the fundamental problem, and it would take a long time to weaken the black hole's self-destruction.

The shield crumbled bit by bit, and finally, to her horrified gaze, what was bound to happen did happen. As the protective force field completely collapsed, the Phoenix Force did not fly out of Jean Grey's body to find the Dark Phoenix; her body and soul were rapidly torn apart by gravity.

The system's voice echoed in his mind. He breathed a sigh of relief and snapped his fingers, weakening the black hole and accelerating its self-destruction. It quickly disappeared into the universe.

……

The person involved didn't think the special effects were very impressive, but Thor, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was different.

As he flew out of the universe, the first thing he saw was a giant phoenix, burning with black flames, which gave Thor a great sense of danger. Its body, which blotted out the sky, covered almost 10% of the Earth's surface.

The people in one area could no longer see the sunlight, and the earth was plunged into panic. The spiritual flames that could decompose everything broke away from the phoenix's body and fell from the sky. Thor immediately raised his hammer to smash them.

He was certain that if this bird, formed from the materialization of spiritual energy, landed in the Americas, it could even destroy the entire continent.

Before Thor could deal with the flames, he was frozen in place by the static field. When he regained his senses, the gravity-wielding man next to the weaver had already created something even more threatening—

The gravitational source that resembled a black hole that he had seen before.

The flames that were originally heading towards Earth were immediately drawn by a powerful suction force. Thor was even a little unsteady in the air. This suction force was much stronger than when he dealt with Malekith. His first reaction was that the range was so wide.

He quickly steadied himself. The lightning formed by Thor's divine power was actually being pulled towards him by gravity. He spent some energy to control it and was safe. He stood at a distance and waited for the outcome.

Then he saw a black hole, slightly smaller than the black phoenix, appear and instantly swallow the phoenix, which was radiating a powerful aura. More importantly, this black hole was much more "discreet" than the one that had swallowed Malekith before.

Thor, standing at a distance, didn't even sense the danger it posed; it simply remained there quietly, as if it were completely harmless.

This terrified Thor even more. He had seen a real black hole with his father, and in terms of appearance, this fake one was almost indistinguishable from the real one.

After the fight ended, Thor immediately ran over, staring at Li Buying with a strange expression: "Hey, you, the guy next to the weaver, uh, Li Buying, right? Who were you fighting just now? And why do you seem to have gotten stronger again?"

"Hello, Thor, my superpowers have been upgraded, so I'm stronger again," Li Buying said, pretending not to know Thor very well. "The one I fought was the dark side of a mutant. The Oracle told me to deal with her, and now everything is fine."

"That's good. I'll go tell the other superheroes now."

Thor had no doubts. His father and Loki both believed the prophet's words, which proved that he was indeed trustworthy. So he left Li Buying and flew back to Earth, returning to Tony's side to tell Tony and Mr. Fantastic the whole story.

The two quickly obtained information about the female mutant based on his description and discovered that she was Jean Grey from the X-Men.

"Destroying the dark side... that organization actually has such terrifying power... Thor, you should have tried to capture Li Buying earlier."

A hint of worry flashed in Mr. Fantastic's eyes, while Thor's face showed a trace of displeasure. The tall and imposing Thor approached Mr. Fantastic, whom he had only met a few times, and tapped him on the chest with Mjolnir:

"Mr. Fantastic, has he done anything to humanity? The inside story I know is that he helped you stop the Hydra disaster, and now he has even resolved a global crisis. If you are afraid of his power, then you should be afraid of mine."

"Furthermore, I am a god and have no desire to participate in the struggles between you humans!"

Thor had actually been enduring the surveillance he was being monitored by other humans recently. He knew he had to be patient for the sake of his lover, Jane Foster, and so he deliberately ignored those gazes.

But these humans have been going too far lately, and Thor is getting impatient—no matter how he pretends to be human, he is still a god, and his pride cannot be erased.

Thor, already seething with anger, was reminded of his recent experiences by Mr. Fantastic's words, and his rage was immediately ignited by Mr. Fantastic, leading to the current situation.

"Hey!"

The Stone Man and the Invisible Woman nervously took a step forward. Reed raised his hand to stop them. As one of the smartest people on Earth, he quickly realized why Thor was so angry. After a moment's thought, he sincerely apologized:

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I really didn't trust you enough, but this concerns the safety of humanity, so I have no choice but to do it."

"Alright, alright, Thor, you also need to know that we ordinary people are very weak creatures, and we can easily die if we're not careful."

Tony stepped in to smooth things over, and a somewhat irritated Thor knew it was his fault. Without a word, he retrieved Mjolnir and left the fighter jet. After flying in the air for a moment, he took out his phone and called the weaver. Li Buying had left Thor a phone number.

……

After dealing with Dark Phoenix, Li Buying flew down from space. Before she could reunite with the X-Men, she received a call from Thor. She answered and asked in a mechanical voice, "Hey, Thor, what's up?"

"Hmm, I remember your organization has connections with that mutant nation. Could I stay there for a few days?"

"Of course, you're very welcome. I'll have Li Buying come and take you there."

Although she didn't know why Thor wanted to come, Li Buying welcomed him, since he could help with things like charging.

After hanging up the phone, he didn't immediately go to Thor. Instead, he flew back to the X-Men to check on the situation. Jean Grey didn't show any major abnormalities after her negative personality disappeared and returned to normal, just like Norman Osborn.

As she descended from the sky, Li Buying still inquired of Professor X, a professional, "Professor, how is Miss Ge Lei?"

Professor X, who had examined the situation at three different timeframes—the separation of negative personalities, the fight between Dark Phoenix and Li Buying, and the complete annihilation of Dark Phoenix—couldn't help but smile.

"Very good. Her mental state and mutant abilities have not been affected in any way; she is still the same person she always was."

"That's wonderful, Miss Grey. The Prophet also told me to remind you that although the power within you is strong, it is not uncontrollable. Don't be afraid of it. Try to communicate with it and gradually take control of it."

Upon learning that Jean Grey was safe and sound, Li Buying gave Phoenix a reminder before setting off, and then prepared to pick up Thor. As for the X-Men, Phoenix and Storm could take them back.

Just as he was about to leave, Phoenix and Cyclops called him back. The couple exchanged a glance and bowed deeply to Li Buying as a sign of their gratitude: "Thank you so much, Mr. Li Buying."

"It's my duty, don't worry too much about it. I'm just trying to give my family a better life."

Li Buying waved his hand slightly, not taking the matter too seriously. He genuinely hoped that there would be more good people in the world, for many reasons, a large part of which were for his own sake.

With his force field perception activated, Li Buying quickly located Thor's position. He immediately flew towards it, and Thor also spotted him when he got close enough. After they met up, Li Buying waved to Thor, signaling him to follow.

As they accelerated through the air, Li Buying asked with some curiosity, "It may be a bit offensive, but I'd like to ask why you want to stay with us for a few days?"

Thor stroked his long, golden hair in mid-air, then spoke frankly:

"You know, ordinary people are always wary of other people. I've been being watched by a lot of people lately, and my girlfriend happens to be away, so I'm thinking of hiding for a few days."

Could this be one of the reasons why Thor and Jane Foster broke up during the Age of Ultron...?

Li Buying speculated about the gossip and said to Thor, "I understand you. Before I awakened my abilities, I was also monitored by Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. people. I endured it for a long time back then."

"Sigh, Li Buying, even after you gained power, you still remained hidden for a long time, didn't you? Didn't you find that difficult?"

Thor wanted to learn from him how to endure longer.

"Of course it's painful, but I have a younger sister to take care of, so of course I have to endure it. There's no need to move everything out now."

Li Buying chatted fluently with Thor, but made no attempt to teach Thor how to be patient:

"To be honest, Mr. Thor, with your power, you don't need to care too much about human opinions, do you? You could easily knock those guys who are watching you unconscious with electricity. I think you need to think about whether you're a human superhero or an Asgardian god—"

"Or perhaps it's both; why not find a compromise?"

A compromise solution that demonstrates military force...

Thor nodded, indicating that he would give it a try. The conversation passed by in the blink of an eye, and they arrived at a thriving town. Floating in the air, Thor could feel the hopeful atmosphere among the mutants.

"A very nice place."

Thor commented that after landing and walking down the street with Li Buying, Cyclops didn't have time to cuddle with Phoenix, who had just been healed. He quickly came over to greet Thor under Professor X's command. He could be considered the second visitor to the mutant kingdom.

Upon learning Thor's purpose, Cyclops took him to the hotel that had been prepared to welcome foreign ambassadors and made no attempt to monitor him. In front of Thor, Cyclops told Li Buying about the things that Professor X and Magneto hoped Li Buying would be involved in.

However, Thor didn't listen, saying he was going to wander around, and then disappeared from their sight.

As Li Buying listened to Laser Eyes' words, the first thing was to confirm the name of the country, and the second was that the professor was going to teach the language of this island to other mutants so that they could also understand what the island was saying.

In this way, the entire island becomes a communication device. Even if the communication device fails, the mutants scattered across the island can still communicate with each other by talking to the island, and then the island will relay the message to another mutant.

Simply put, it's a form of information exchange that's difficult to block, leaving no outsider undetected.

As for how to teach, it's very simple: use his brainwave booster to imprint the language into the minds of other mutants, so that everyone can learn the "island language".

The sacred F2, oh no, the sacred Kara, connects the thoughts of each and every one of us.

Li Buying's expression turned strange as she headed to the office building to meet the two leaders.
