Superman Marvel Adventures

Adam hugged Christine and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

Christine shook her head and said, "It's okay, as long as you're okay." At this point, there was no need for any more words; they hugged each other tightly and listened to each other's innermost thoughts.

Just then, Athena appeared beside them and said, "Master, you're finally alright! You scared me to death."

Adam put his arm around Christine and looked at Athena apologetically, saying, "I'm sorry, Athena, I said such hurtful things before."

Athena shook her head and said, "It's alright, I know that wasn't Master's intention. Oh, right, let's quickly check on the X-Men. Most of them were injured to varying degrees while trying to stop you, Master."

Christine nodded and said, "Yes, Adam, let's go take a look. Oh, and do you know this lady?"

Adam looked at Phoenix and said, "She does resemble someone I know, but I'm certain she's not someone I know."

Adam was indeed somewhat unsure of Phoenix's true identity. Although she resembled Dark Phoenix, Adam knew Dark Phoenix didn't possess such power; otherwise, Professor X wouldn't have repeatedly imprisoned her within Jean Grey's consciousness. Furthermore, Adam clearly remembered some of her earlier remarks—she claimed to have had a relationship with him, but Adam couldn't recall when they had ever been intimate. This was utterly impossible for him, making him highly skeptical of Phoenix's words.

Phoenix smiled and said, "No need to think about it, I am the Black Phoenix. But I am more than just the Black Phoenix."

Christine asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Phoenix explained, "Dark Phoenix is ​​just a part of me. Countless years ago, I was severely injured by a very powerful opponent. I fled all the way to the Milky Way and was attracted to Earth by a mysterious force, after which I lost consciousness. Dark Phoenix is ​​a faint consciousness generated by my own energy. After being accidentally absorbed by Jean Grey, it evolved into her second personality."

After listening, Christine said, "That's complicated. But now, can you tell me what you mean by having a relationship with Adam?"

Phoenix smiled slightly at Adam and said, "I've said before that the Dark Phoenix is ​​a consciousness generated from the energy within me after I lost consciousness. Therefore, she subconsciously seeks out energy that is useful to her to strengthen herself, much like some cultivation techniques in China. That's why Jean Grey was attracted to Wolverine or Adam, ultimately breaking up with her boyfriend. Because these two people have abundant life energy in their bodies. Especially Adam, whose life energy is very strong. That's why the Dark Phoenix appeared to seduce you."

Christine pouted at Adam after hearing this and said, "You didn't tell me this!"

Adam smiled wryly and said, "I knocked Black Phoenix unconscious at the time, and how can I tell you something like that?"

Phoenix nodded and said, "That's right. Adam did knock Dark Phoenix unconscious back then, but because Professor X told him about Dark Phoenix's formation process, although it was wrong, the kind-hearted Adam felt pity for Dark Phoenix, which led Dark Phoenix to eventually fall in love with Adam. Therefore, in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Dark Phoenix spent a lot of energy to reshape her body and had a relationship with Adam!"

Adam stared at Phoenix in astonishment. "I was seduced? And I had no idea?" he exclaimed.

Christine pinched Adam in exasperation and said, "That's not the point!!!"

Phoenix Woman laughed and said, "That's right, you were indeed pushed back by the Black Phoenix. The price was that I woke up because I sensed your enormous life energy. I originally planned to kill you for insulting my body, but I was affected by the Black Phoenix who was fused with me and couldn't bring myself to do it. So I returned to my room overnight and did some things to you so that you would not remember this incident at all."

Christine snorted coldly after hearing this and said, "Since you've already tampered with Adam, why are you saying it today?"

Phoenix glanced at Adam with some reluctance and said, "Because I'm leaving."

Adam was taken aback and asked, "You're leaving? Where are you going? And will there be any problems with the piano after you leave?"

Phoenix explained, "I just told Athena. Hehe, every time I hear the name Athena, it reminds me of the goddess of war, Athena, who is far away in the realm of the gods. A guy who terrifies me is heading to the Milky Way, so I have to leave here. Otherwise, if he finds out I'm on Earth, he will definitely come down to Earth immediately, which would be a disaster for Earth."

Adam frowned and asked, "How powerful is that person you're talking about? Could he possibly target Earth?"

Phoenix said calmly, "He's hundreds of times more powerful than you imagine. For someone like him, if there's nothing on Earth that interests him, he won't even glance at it. Of course, if there is something that interests him, it's even worse, because he'll directly store Earth in his collection. For ordinary people on Earth, that would be a cataclysmic disaster! Don't ask me why he would do that, because you wouldn't explain to ants why you destroyed their nests!"

Although Adam felt a little heavy-hearted after hearing this, he still said to Phoenix, "Thank you!"

Phoenix blushed, a rare sight for her, and said, "I didn't leave Earth to help you. It's just because the other party is too powerful. Hmph, don't get the wrong idea! Alright, I'm leaving now. Remember, I haven't settled accounts with you yet, so you'd better not die."

Adam immediately asked, "Wait, what would happen if you made the harp? You haven't answered my question yet?"

Phoenix was engulfed in flames, and her body slowly faded away, leaving only the words: "Jean Grey will be alright. She should be sleeping in the X-Camp right now. Until we meet again, Adam Stark, I'm back to take responsibility for you!!!"

Chapter 180 Trivial Matters

Hearing what Phoenix said before she left, Adam didn't know how to react except for crying or laughing. But then he remembered the incredibly powerful person Phoenix mentioned, and Adam sighed helplessly, hoping that no one would target Earth for a while after Phoenix left, giving Earth some breathing room.

Seeing Adam's silence, Christine asked, "Adam, what's wrong? You're not going to miss her, are you?"

Adam said helplessly, "You've heard the truth. I was completely innocent in that incident. Well, if anyone should be held responsible, it's me who should be holding her accountable."

Christine rolled her eyes at her and said, "Hmph, you're the kind of person who gets the benefits and then acts innocent!"

Adam smiled slightly and said, "Alright, stop being jealous. You know I only love you. By the way, you should hurry up and use your magic to save them. You were so busy talking to Phoenix that quite a bit of time has passed."

Athena chuckled and said, "Master, while you were in a daze, Miss Christine used magic to save them all. Except for Mr. Wolverine, the others are recovering more slowly due to their more serious injuries, so they are still unconscious."

Adam was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Alright, now that it's all over, let's go home."

Christine asked, "What about here? And you did some pranks outside today; a lot of people have already sued you. There's a lot going on when we get back."

Adam shrugged and said, "As for the people who sued me, I'll have Susan hold a press conference later, and I'll apologize and pay some compensation then. As for this place, they're just unlucky to have been caught by me. Let's send the X-Men back to school first."

Christine knew that Adam had never liked S.H.I.E.L.D. for some reason, so she wasn't surprised by Adam's decision. However, she was definitely in the wrong this time. She couldn't just ignore it as usual, otherwise it would definitely damage Adam's reputation.

“Give S.H.I.E.L.D. some compensation. Besides, you’ve heard that we may be facing an unprecedented enemy. Let S.H.I.E.L.D. gain some strength so that we won’t be fighting alone.”

Adam hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Alright, let's give them some compensation, but Athena, you can handle the negotiations."

Athena was taken aback and said, "Oh, you want me to negotiate with that one-eyed man? Is that really okay?"

Adam nodded and said, "Yes, just give them a few of the technologies in the lab that are classified as below three stars. Don't give them too many offensive technologies; give them more medical and protective technology data."

Athena nodded and said, "I understand."

At this moment, Wolverine, who had been stunned by the shockwaves from the battle between Phoenix and Adam, finally woke up. Seeing Adam talking to Christine, he immediately knew that Adam had returned to normal, so he went over and punched Adam.

"You rascal. You were so worrying! Are you alright now?"

Adam smiled and said, "Yes, you're alright now. I'm sorry you got so badly injured."

Wolverine waved his hand dismissively and said, "As long as you're alright, that's all that matters. Sigh, you don't know, after Athena appeared at Xavier's Academy and mentioned your abnormality, we all said something. We really don't know who could make someone as powerful as you lose control."

Upon hearing this, Adam said, "It must have been done by the magician Eric Hassen. I never expected him to secretly curse me. His plan was probably to lure me to a secluded place and then control me through this spell. However, Christine thwarted his plan."

Hearing Adam say that, Wolverine looked at Christine and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked yet. When we first met, wasn't your sister-in-law an ordinary person? How did this happen?"

Wolverine said that because Christine not only appeared there, but she was also wearing a very powerful-looking suit of armor, so she was obviously not an ordinary person. Moreover, Adam had just said that it was Christine who brought him to his senses. He wasn't a romantic, so he didn't believe that Christine had called Adam with her love. Well, although Christine did use her love to save Adam, we all know that's a different matter.

Adam took Christine's hand and said, "Do you remember the reports about Christine being kidnapped?"

Wolverine nodded and said, "That's right, that did happen. Didn't you say Christine went to see her parents?"

Adam nodded and said, "That's right. Christine did go to see her parents. To be precise, Christine was taken away by her servants, and I went with them to see Christine's parents."

Wolverine asked, "Could Christine's identity be related to her abilities?" He wasn't stupid, so he quickly figured out the connection.

Adam nodded and said, "That's right, Christine's parents are Helios, the sun god, and Sur, the sun goddess, from our human mythology."

Wolverine was taken aback and asked, "The Sun God? How is that possible? They really exist?"

Adam explained, “Yes, all the gods in these Greek or Norse mythologies exist, but they are not in the same world as us. They left Earth a long, long time ago for some unknown reason.”

Wolverine breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I don't have the habit of believing in gods. So, Christine is the legendary goddess? How can she stay on Earth? Oh, sorry, that's not what I meant, I was just curious."

Adam laughed and said, "Don't worry about that. They don't want you to believe in them like God does. As for Christine, she is the product of two different pantheons, the Norse and Greek pantheons, so she is not accepted by either pantheon. Therefore, her parents sent her to Earth. That's why Christine and I met on Earth. I think when I can go to the pantheon, I will thank the bosses of the two pantheons in person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have met such a lovely fiancée."

Wolverine smiled slightly, looked at Christine's blissful face, extended his hand, and said, "Let's get to know each other again. I am Wolverine Logan, a mutant."

Christine smiled and shook hands with Logan, saying, "I'm Adam's fiancée, Christine, of course. If I had to say, I'd say I'm a god."

"Logan, are you still there? Answer me quickly, how are you?" Just then, Storm's anxious voice came through Logan's ear.

Logan pressed the button and said, "It's okay. Adam is back to normal, everyone else is fine, we'll be back in a bit."

Hearing Logan's reply, Storm was relieved and said, "Okay. Scott and I are in the airspace nearby. We were suddenly pulled far away by a burst of energy for some reason, but thankfully neither of us was injured."

Logan said, "Well, it's good that you're all alright. Come pick us up. We're all fine now, and the injured have received treatment and are out of danger."

Storm replied, "Understood, we'll be there in about ten minutes!" and then hung up.

Inside the Helicarrier, Adam overheard Logan and Storm's conversation. He then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, you were both injured because of me."

Logan waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, we're all friends. By the way, I've been wondering a bit strange. Where did Jean go? On the way here, I was starting to suspect that Jean might have sent Dark Phoenix out again."

Adam explained, "Your suspicion is correct. The person who came with you just now wasn't Jean, but Dark Phoenix!"

Logan was taken aback. He said, "What? It really is the Black Phoenix? But why would you release the Black Phoenix? By the way, where is she? Did she escape?"

Adam shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Logan, I haven't finished yet. But don't worry, Jyn is fine. Just call the academy and ask the professor to look for Jyn. She should be somewhere in the academy."

Logan asked疑惑地问道, "What exactly happened? If Jean is still at the academy, then who came with us?"

Adam said, "This matter is somewhat unbelievable and involves some very important things, so let's talk about it when we meet the professor later. You should call the professor first to confirm whether the piano is in the academy."

Luo Ge nodded, and without any hesitation, spoke directly to the professor in front of Adam. He then recounted what Adam had just said. Professor X was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said with slight surprise that Qin was indeed in the academy, tied up with ropes by someone, and that he was arranging for people to rescue her.

Logan, after hearing this, said he would tell him in detail when he got back, and then hung up. Adam had also heard their conversation, and his worries finally subsided. Although Phoenix had said she would release Jean Grey, Adam still had some doubts about her words, since we knew from Phoenix's previous remarks that she disliked Jean Grey.

"That puts my mind at ease. I'll go with you to see Professor X in a little while to explain this matter and discuss some things with him, because what Phoenix said before was truly horrifying."

Logan nodded and said, "Okay, by the way, shouldn't we meet with the owner of this helicarrier now? After all, we've been causing quite a disturbance here for so long."

Adam shook his head and said, "I'm not on the same side as S.H.I.E.L.D., and I've already decided to compensate them with some technological data in other ways, so let's go. I see Storm and the poker-faced guy have arrived."

Logan shrugged and said, "Okay, since you don't like them, let's go. I think they don't want us to leave anytime soon either." He then walked over to Maxim and Kurt and picked them up.

Upon seeing this, Christine said, "Mr. Logan, I can actually use teleportation magic. You just need to inform your two companions and have them levitate."

Logan replied, "Okay, I'll inform them. Also, like Adam, you can just call me Logan. Don't call me 'sir.' I'm really not used to that title. I'll inform them right away." He then immediately contacted Storm, relayed Christine's request, and gave Christine an "OK" sign.

Upon seeing this, Adam said, "Athena, I'll leave this to you. Just apologize. If the other party is being unreasonable, just tell me, and I can do it again."

Christine rolled her eyes at Adam and said, "Alright, Athena, don't listen to him. Just apologize to them properly and give them the technology data. Now is not the time to quarrel with S.H.I.E.L.D. Okay, let's go!" After saying that, she cast a spell and disappeared with everyone.

Chapter 181 Explanation

Storm and Scott tracked the Helicarrier using the locator on Logan. Just as they were about to arrive, they received a message from Professor X saying that Jean Grey had been found at the Institute, but the person who went with them was not Jean Grey at all, which greatly surprised both of them.

Storm looked at Scott, whose face was filled with anxiety, and said, "No wonder she insisted on going to find Adam herself. It turns out it wasn't Jean Grey at all. What should we do now?"

Scott gritted his teeth and said, "Let's keep going. Since the professor called us, it must mean that Logan has already discovered that the other person isn't the real Piano. That's good, so we don't have to worry. I think all we need to do now is bring them back."

Just then, Storm received a call from Logan, who asked about their location and said that Adam would also be returning with them to the Helicarrier, and that they should go and retrieve him. Therefore, Storm and Scott didn't speak and accelerated towards the Helicarrier.

As they approached the Helicarrier and prepared to land, Storm received another message from Logan, saying that someone there could teleport everyone over and levitate them. Then, after a flash of light, Logan, who had just been talking to her, appeared in front of her.

Upon seeing this, Storm exclaimed, "Hey, Logan, what's going on? How did you guys get on the plane? Is this Mr. Adam's latest technology?"

Logan shrugged and said, "This isn't science, it's magic!"

Storm asked as she piloted the plane, "Magic? Is Mr. Adam's girlfriend a magician?"

Christine smiled and said, "That's right, Miss Ororo, I am a magician."
