Alex leaves New York Base X and teleports straight to London. The castle where Merlin is located is very mysterious, ordinary people can't find it at all, and Alex can't enter it directly, so he honestly followed the previous method and searched all the way.

"Why are you here?!" As soon as Alex approached the castle, Merlin's voice rang in his ears, full of surprise. Before Alex could explain, Merlin's voice rang out again, full of concern, "How is Loma doing now, how are you doing?" ”

Alex rolled his eyes speechlessly, didn't dare to say anything, nodded and said with a smile on his face: "Loma is fine, she's happy now!" ”

Afraid that Merlin would ask other questions, Alex immediately opened his mouth to explain as soon as his voice fell: "Mr. Merlin, I came this time to ask about Phoenix. ”

"The power of the phoenix?!" Merlin was very surprised when he heard this, and subconsciously shouted, and then fell into a long silence, and only spoke again after a while, "You come in!" ”

With Merlin's voice, the closed gate of the castle slowly opened, and Alex didn't wait for the gate to be fully opened, and squeezed through the gap to get in first.

As soon as he entered the castle, Alex didn't have time to react, his eyes suddenly darkened and then lit up again, Alex was surprised to find that he had come to Merlin's study, Merlin in a magic robe was sitting upright on a wooden chair, holding a yellowed scroll in his hand, and the expression on his face was a little strange.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Merlin coughed lightly and asked directly.

Alex looked at Merlin with a surprised expression, a little puzzled: "You don't know? "Merlin is known as the all-powerful guardian of the universe, and Otto the Observer knows everything about Jean Grey. How could Merlin not know!

"Then Otto only observes one earth. I'm going to oversee the whole Almighty universe! Merlin seemed to know Alex's doubts. Snorted coldly, and said with a disdainful expression, "How can I have time to keep an eye on this universe and this earth at all times!" ”

Alex was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, coughed lightly, and told all the questions about Jean and Phoenix's imminent arrival, and then looked at Merlin with a look of hope.

"It's exactly what it's called. It should be the power of the phoenix, and the phoenix is just its embodied form. Merlin glanced at Alex with an indifferent expression, and slowly began to explain, "The power of the phoenix is the embodiment of the primordial cosmic life force and emotional power, it is immortal and changeable. It was born between the chaos of the universe and the beginning of all things, and it is the child of the universe. ”

The more Alex listened, the paler his face became, according to Merlin's introduction, the phoenix was like a lord of extra dimensions, but its dimension was the entire universe! This means that Alex is in the monolithic universe. It is almost impossible to defeat the Phoenix. Because in their own dimension, the dimension lord is invincible.

Merlin looked at Alex. He opened his mouth and said another sentence: "The power of the phoenix is the connection point between the spiritual hearts of all things that exist or will exist in the all-powerful universe. ”

Alex was completely desperate when he heard this, and looked at Merlin with a pleading face: "Can you only watch it destroy the earth?" ”

Merlin chuckled and shook his head, and under Alex's burst hopeful eyes, he slowly spoke: "Otto is right about one thing, it is up to humanity to decide whether the power of the phoenix is destroyed or reborn. ”

Alex was a little dazed, going around and around, and things were back to square one, but Alex didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at all: "What do you do?" ”

"Let it be!" Merlin smiled indifferently and opened his mouth to say an answer that almost broke Alex.

Alex couldn't help it on the spot, jumped to his feet directly, pointed at Merlin and asked, "What is this?!" ”

As soon as the words came out, Alex realized that it was not good, Merlin is an all-powerful universe-level super god, and he is so rude that he is simply hanging his birthday boy to death! Immediately wanted to apologize, but unfortunately Merlin didn't give Alex a chance at all.

Alex felt a shock to his instincts, then his head hurt, and the whole person passed out.

I don't know how long it took, Alex finally came to his senses, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he had returned to the fully metal-enclosed room at Base X, where Charles and the others were sitting next to him.

"Why am I here?" Alex rubbed his swollen head, his face full of confusion.

"You came back on your own!" Emma looked at Alex strangely, with a faint worry on her face, "You were in a coma as soon as you came back, and you have been asleep for more than three hours." ”

When Alex heard this, he immediately thought of Merlin, turned his head to look at Loma, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead that did not exist, and said casually: "Maybe the pressure is too much, and I am a little tired." ”

"How's it going, is there a way?" Charles was obviously more concerned about Phoenix's problem, and after seeing that Alex was indeed fine, he hurriedly asked.

Alex was stunned when he heard this, and his face suddenly collapsed when he thought of the answer Merlin had given him.

"Alex, what did my father say?" Alex's expression made Loma feel a little curious, and asked directly about Merlin's answer.

"Let it be, that's what Mr. Merlin told me." Alex shook his head with a wry smile, mimicking Merlin's voice and demeanor vividly.

Obviously, this answer frightened everyone present, whether it was Charles or Loma, they couldn't help but exclaim, their faces full of disbelief.

"It's very depressing, but this is indeed Mr. Merlin's answer to me!" Seeing everyone's skeptical expressions, Alex reluctantly reiterated again, his expression becoming more and more bitter.

Charles shook his head, no longer pinning his hopes on Merlin in Alex's mouth, and was ready to figure it out on his own: "We have to find a way, we can't sit still!" ”

"Let it be, Charles!" Although he felt that this method of dealing with it was a bit child's play, Alex still chose to believe Merlin and did not forget to persuade Charles.

Charles looked at Alex with a stunned face, as if he couldn't believe that Alex was really ready to ignore it: "Could it be that you really don't do anything?!" ”

"Of course not!" Alex immediately shook his head, pointed to the bloodless Jean Grey on the side, and said with a chuckle, "We can't do anything about the phoenix, but we have to find a way to solve the problem of the Phoenix." ”

"What are you going to do?" Emma frowned and looked at Jean Grey, her heart full of pity. Previously, when Alex was away and asleep, Emma and Charles had a secret communication, and Emma knew some of Charles's thoughts and initiatives, but Emma did not approve of them.

Alex turned around and looked at Jean Grey seriously, and said mysteriously, "I'm going to find out the phoenix fragment on the piano's body, and then try to separate it from the piano's body!" ”

"Will this work?" Charles was skeptical that if this was possible, then they could throw the Phoenix Fragment somewhere else, and there would be a good chance that the Phoenix would not come to Earth.

Alex stared at Jean Grey, who was looking at him expectantly, and said confidently, "Surely!" (To be continued.) )

PS: Marvel's worldview is extremely confusing, in order to facilitate understanding and writing, Scorpio has made some simplifications, the omnipotent universe is larger than and contains the multiverse, and the multiverse is larger than and contains the monolithic universe. The largest and only one in the Almighty Universe, which is the whole of Marvel, uh, that's pretty much it.
