The bottleneck between Level 3 and Level 4 was broken in an instant!

His aura surged at a visible speed, and his body was surrounded by faint, colorful energy fragments, which were signs of the initial simulation of the energy manifestation of the Phoenix Force!

Although it is only a tiny, insignificant amount, its essence is extremely profound!

The kiss ended.

Qin slumped in his arms, her cheeks flushed, her eyes glazed, and the surging phoenix power within her body surprisingly exhibited a gentle and calm state.

What she felt was not only an emotional stirring, but also a sense of peace as her soul was gently soothed and her powerful strength was quietly guided.

As Uchiha Zang felt the new power surging within him and a deeper understanding of the rules of the universe, an irrepressible smile curved his lips.

'Haha, it worked! This is the real feast!'

Next, the relationship between the two was established naturally.

Uchiha Sho then moved into Koto's suite, ostensibly to "monitor her 24/7 and prevent a backlash from her darker personality."

Nighttime is his real "study" time.

He would hold the piano in his hand and guide the other person into a deep meditative state.

Using his own Great Luo True Spirit as the core, he constructed a temporary and fragile spiritual community, guiding Qin's consciousness to carefully touch and comprehend the vast power of the phoenix.

He packaged this process as a "method of cultivating both spirit and soul," which sounded sophisticated and selfless.

"Jin, trust me, entrust your power to me for guidance..."

In the darkness, Qin gripped his hand tightly, trusting wholeheartedly in the man who had pulled her out of boundless fear.

With this deep connection, Uchiha Sho's efficiency in analyzing the Phoenix Force increased exponentially!

Although he is far from fully understanding it, he has already been able to borrow a very weak trace of the Phoenix Force and has begun to try to integrate and optimize the various variant abilities he has "learned" before, and deduce more powerful applications.

His mutant level is steadily advancing towards the mid-level of level four under this cheat-like "dual cultivation". His actual combat power cannot be measured by simple levels because he is proficient in multiple mutant abilities.

Just as Uchiha Sō was engrossed in studying and romance, busy exploring the limits of the Phoenix Power within Koto's body...

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s urgent communication once again shattered the tranquility of the Academy!

"...Apocalypse...Enhancement...We have suffered heavy losses...Magneto and Professor X are seriously injured...Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are exhausted...trapped...urgent support is needed..."

Communication was intermittent, interspersed with the sounds of explosions and screams; the situation was clearly in dire straits.

The remaining young mutants in the academy were in a panic.

Uchiha Xiang looked at Koto, who was in his arms and whose emotions were once again unstable due to communication interference, with golden light flashing in her eyes, and gently patted her back.

"Don't worry, I've got you covered!"

His tone was calm, yet carried a reassuring strength.

"Looks like it's our turn to make an appearance."

He stood up, his aura no longer concealed in the slightest, though he kept it at around the level of just entering the "fourth level".

After his "treatment" over this period, although Jean still cannot fully control the Black Phoenix, her emotions have stabilized considerably, and she can even actively draw upon a portion of the Phoenix's power to a limited extent.

What can we do?

Qin looked at him, her eyes filled with reliance.

"Do something that fits the identity of an 'X-Men'."

Uchiha Xiang gently took her left hand and smiled slightly.

"For example, to rescue our family and friends."

He carried his zither and strode towards the aircraft hangar on the top floor of the academy.

Nightcrawler and Storm stayed at the academy, while the other young X-Men who could fight, such as Cyclops Scott, looked at Uchiha Sō and Jean's tightly clasped hands with a grim expression. They had already assembled.

"Target: Cairo!"

Uchiha Zō's voice was transmitted throughout the spacecraft via the communicator.

"Everyone check your gear. This is not training. We are about to face one of the most powerful mutants ever."

The aircraft engines roared, slicing through the sky. Uchiha Xiang sat beside the main control unit, his hand holding the koto, his gaze fixed on the distant clouds below, as if he could already see the battlefield reduced to ruins and that powerful enemy.

'An enhanced version of Apocalypse? A masterpiece of the Main Temple? Perfect…'

He sneered inwardly.

'I'll use you to test the results of my 'learning' over this period, and... just how powerful this nascently tamed phoenix truly is.'

He felt that the phoenix power within him was resonating with the power of the zither, emitting a soft melody that yearned for battle.

Chapter 298, The Reincarnator's Scheme, Traces of God

Above Cairo, the once-prosperous city has been reduced to scorched earth by the mutant war.

The enhanced version of Apocalypse—En Shaba Noor—is an original mutant who absorbed the abilities of multiple top mutants and was further enhanced by the technology and magic of the Primeval Temple. His power has indeed reached an unbelievable level.

Magneto's torrent of metal was torn apart by him with his bare hands; Professor X's mental shock was like hitting a wall of sighs containing the will of billions; Quicksilver's speed was almost slowed down in his eyes; and Scarlet Witch's chaos magic was forcibly stabilized by him with his more sophisticated reality warping ability.

The combined forces of the X-Men and the Brotherhood are showing signs of defeat.

Just as Apocalypse gathered enough energy to tear apart the continental shelf, preparing to deliver the final blow to Charles and Eric, who were struggling to hold on below—

"Buzz!"

A figure appeared without warning in the path of the energy beam.

The newcomer wore a black battle suit that combined the X-Men's uniform with the Uchiha clan's insignia. His black hair flew wildly, and the Rinnegan pattern in his eyes flashed by, replaced by alternating flows of various energy luminescences, such as ice blue, fire red, and silver white.

"Nice to meet you, sorry to bother you."

Uchiha Eboshi spoke calmly, pushing forward with one hand—

[Simulation: Energy Absorption (Little Rascal Advanced Version) + Energy Deflection (Storm Girl Airflow Manipulation) + Spatial Refraction (Preliminary Analysis of Blink Ability)]!

The terrifying energy beam, capable of annihilating a city, was forcibly twisted, decomposed, and absorbed in front of him as if it had encountered an invisible vortex. The remaining portion was refracted into the empty sky, exploding into a dazzling yet deadly energy firework.

"Ok?"

For the first time, a hint of surprise appeared on Tianqi's enormous metallic face.

"A new, powerful mutant? Your power... is quite peculiar."

Below, Charles and Eric, protected by Jean's Phoenix Force shield, were stunned.

"That's...an elephant?"

Charles could hardly believe it. The subtlety and power of that energy far exceeded his understanding of what a "Level 3 Support Personnel" was.

"This kid..."

Magneto watched the retreating figure in the air, then glanced at Jean beside him, whose eyes were filled with both pride and worry, and snorted.

"They really hid it well."

Uchiha Ei had no time to pay attention to the shock below. His [Super Learning] ability had been activated at full power the moment Apocalypse made his move!

[Analysis Target: Apocalyptic Energy Structure (Hybrid: Cosmic Energy, Mutant Genes, Extradimensional Magic, Main Temple Enhancement Technology)...Analyze Energy Circulation Patterns...Record Law Fluctuations...Reverse Deduce Weaknesses...]

Meanwhile, he formed hand seals, which actually served no practical purpose; it was purely a personal habit to enhance the sense of ritual.

[Combo Skill: Ice and Fire in Dual Force - Modified!]

With his left hand, he held the extreme cold of the Ice Prison, pushing the Ice Man's abilities to near absolute zero; with his right hand, he held the blazing flames of the World-Burning Flame, optimizing the Fire Man's abilities and imbuing them with a trace of the destructive power of the Phoenix. These two diametrically opposed energies were not simply superimposed, but rather, under his abnormally precise control, they spiraled and intertwined, transforming into an ice-fire tornado that roared toward the Apocalypse!

"A trivial skill."

Apocalypse raised his hand, [Ability Simulation: Energy Shield (derived from multiple defensive mutants) + Matter Reorganization (altering the air structure in front)]!

However, Uchiha Elephant's combined attack suddenly changed tactics the moment it made contact with the shield—

[Ability Switching: Phase Shift (Shadowcat Ability) + Vibration Wave (Originating from an unknown mutant guard)]!

The ice and fire tornado seemed to become a phantom, piercing through the shield, and then instantly solidified, slamming hard into Apocalypse's main body!

"boom--!"

Apocalypse was knocked back several steps, and a minor crack appeared on the proto-armor on his body. Although it healed instantly, it was enough to make him abandon his contempt.

"You are very interesting."

The voice of the Apocalypse carried an ancient echo.

"Your abilities... seem to be constantly evolving? Join me, and you will gain eternal life and the ultimate secrets of evolution!"

"Feel sorry,"

Uchiha Enoki shook his hand, sensing the massive amount of data returning from that attack.

"I have no interest in being a subordinate of an old fogey. Besides..."

He glanced down at the X-Men below, who were locked in fierce combat with the other Apocalypse Knights and empowered by the Temple, a hint of excitement for battle playing on his lips.

[Super Learning] is more efficient under high pressure!

“...By defeating you, I can ‘learn’ more.”

The next instant, the two disappeared into the air almost simultaneously!

The speed was so fast that it almost exceeded the limits of visual capture!

in the sky.

First came a thunderous roar, with Apocalypse summoning a cosmic energy storm, which was countered by Uchiha Elephant mimicking Storm Woman's abilities and deflecting lightning.

Then spatial distortion occurred, with Apocalypse using dimensional blockade against Uchiha Zō using blinking ability and fragments of Phoenix Force to forcibly tear it apart.

From time to time, mental storms raged, with the immense will of the Apocalypse impacting Uchiha Eijin, who withstood the attack with his level four mental strength and the Great Luo state of mind, and even learned from him.

Of course, there will also be the most primitive hand-to-hand combat clashes, with Tianqi's martial arts skills honed through countless trials and tribulations and his superhuman physique versus Uchiha Xiang's newly "learned" adamantium skeleton infusion, ancient martial arts energy, and self-healing factor!

This was simply an encyclopedic display of mutant abilities!

The two effortlessly employed various theoretical methods of energy manipulation, creating a dazzling display of skill, including the seemingly random appearance of golden lotuses blooming from the ground (though this was not actually the case).

Charles and Eric below were mesmerized, yet also sweating profusely.

"When...when did he learn so many abilities? And how can he use them so...skillfully?"
