Poof...

James looked at the "Phoenix" in front of him, and suddenly the whites of his eyes rolled, and he fell to the ground abruptly.

The demonized vibranium giant axe that was about to be cut off in the next moment in his hand staggered the angle, and slashed deeply into the ground next to Qin's cheek, reaching the back of the axe, revealing a silver-white metal skull at the end.

The phoenix flame that wrapped the girl's body dispersed sparsely, the long red hair covered the smooth back, and the undulating curves and slender legs looked a little dazzling.

The throne hall demonized and transformed by the power of hellfire, greatswords, war hammers, long knives, chain shackles... There are wall domes embedded in the main hall all over the place.

These hideous weapons, which were casually forged by James with the vibranium in the temple in the battle just now, turned into rough shapes like the original embryos of weapons as the hellfire subsided, decorating the palace baptized with swords and fire.

"Ho..."

The skull glowing with orange flames let out a slow breath and spewed out a spark accompanied by black smoke.

The "Evil Spirit Armor" on James's body had been crumbled into pieces of silver-gray armor hanging from his body, and even the rib bones covered in fire had collapsed and were full of cracks.

The flames in the Bone Crown didn't have the same momentum as they had at the beginning.

Slowly retracting the barbed bone blade that had been broken between his fists, the flame skeleton crouched down, and the moment the tip of his finger bone touched Jean Grey's body, it turned into a blue flame like a tide.

After a pause, the probe fused the giant axe next to him into the shape of skirt armor, covering Jean Grey's naked body, and carrying her step by step towards the entrance of the sealed palace.

"Huh?"

Eric, who was closest to the entrance, Laura and the others listened to the faint hissing of the irons in front of them, and the sound of fighting on the other side finally stopped. The crowd of onlookers outside the main hall was repelled by Eric, but there were still many senior and cheeky old family mates waiting outside the blocked vibranium rough stone gate.

The blue-black vibranium rough stone unbelievably revealed wisps of flame from it, like burnt wax, it changed and melted into a metal skull wolf head five or six meters high, and from the open mouth of the skull, a figure with blue flame slowly walked out.

Bang, bang, bang......

James still looked like a flame skeleton, the armor on his feet stepping on the floor tiles, and he approached rhythmically.

"Dad! Violin... She?"

Laura saw James carrying Jean Grey, who was wearing a strange armor and had passed out, and hurriedly ran forward and asked.

Looking at the main hall through the wolf's head passage, there is no longer as majestic and gorgeous as the original ancient palace of the gods, as if it is a doomsday battlefield where the gods have fallen and fallen at dusk.

"Death... No... It's over..."

James, in the form of an evil spirit skeleton, spoke in a low and muffled voice like the flow of volcanic magma, and he spoke slowly and hoarsely and softly.

He didn't put the piano down, but continued to walk forward, and every step under his feet lit up with an unquenchable blue flame.

「… Inside, leave it untouched... It's much more pleasing to the eye..."

The flame skeleton casually said something as it passed by Eric, and no one dared to watch or follow James's footsteps, except for Eric and Laura and Kurt, all the warriors fell to one knee and beat their chests with one hand, their heads bowed.

Silently waiting for the "Wolf Emperor" to leave.

It wasn't until James had gone far that they rushed into the palace one by one, trying to get a glimpse of the battle from the hall that had almost collapsed.

In the deepest part of the wolf's lair, James casually threw the piano on the stone platform in the secret room.

He watched as the candle flame in the center of the ashram was about to burn out, and finally the flames of hell had faded, and the flesh and blood had grown back to their original form.

Picking up a black cloak in the corner and draping it to cover his naked body, James looked at his wife Emma, who was still cross-legged and closed, and had not woken up, and said:

"What's going on?"

After a "soul war", Charles, who was sweating profusely and had wet hair, also walked to the White Queen and sighed lightly.

"Sir

Madame is saying her final goodbye to Jean."

Mr. Professor looked at James's increasingly condensed eyes, did not dare to sell it, and quickly picked up the last candle in his hand, lit the torch on the wall, and continued:

"You know that it is impossible for human beings to completely abandon the so-called good, evil, positive or negative spiritual thoughts, and the seven emotions and six desires are all part of people's will, so it is impossible for the dark phoenix, which has just fought with you and me on two levels, to be killed or eliminated......

James sat on the side, his eyes kept wandering on Emma and Jean's faces, and listened silently.

「…… Originally, Qin had almost perfectly absorbed another personality that she had been born from her childhood because of her too strong spiritual power, but that kind of will power that came from outside the sky was very compatible with the Dark Phoenix."

"Whew..."

Standing up and walking to Emma's side, James gently raised his hand to pick up a strand of her falling blonde hair, put it back to his ear, exhaled slowly, tapped his chin and said:

"This means that Jean Grey can't keep her old will intact if she wants to try to restrain that extra force, she must... Compromise."

"Yes, sir."

Professor Charles wanted to wrap Jean in a cloak, but her rough metal skirt was heavy.

He tried a few vaguely, but he didn't lift the body of the piano, and finally had to put the hemp cloak over the girl, wipe the sweat, and then explained:

"If you don't want to have another personality like today, this child can only choose to compromise, no longer suppress some of his obsessions, and let the split spiritual will be unified, so when Qin wakes up again......

「… She's still Jean Grey, but she's not the girl we used to know best, she might change her ways, she might like a new outfit, she might be... To put it simply, it's like an ordinary person's temperament changes dramatically after experiencing something."

After Charles finished speaking, he stroked his hair uncomfortably, and there was silence in the quiet room for a long time, he muttered close to James, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he finally said tentatively:

"Sir... Jean, this child, her obsession with her personality that has always been suppressed is a little strange, no! I can't say it's weird, it's..."

"I know."

James glanced sideways at Charles, his expression unusually calm.

"—this girl has a crush on me."

Ahem, ahem... Mr. Professor coughed violently, his eyes widened, and his face, which was full of wisdom and composure even at the corners of his eyes, actually had a bit of gossip on him, and his eyes stared at James burningly.

「… What kind of eyes do you have, do you think that with my perception, I will not notice that she is constantly looking at me from afar..."

"Hmm... Beast perception, and physical cultivation to the extreme, the birth of 'awareness, ability, even a faint look can be discovered by you!'

Charles rubbed his chin and nodded frequently like an old pedant, with a look of great knowledge.

Since learning about Jean Grey's innermost secrets in the "Candle Heart", Professor Charles has been thinking about communicating with James in advance, to put it bluntly, to find a good "backer" quickly.

"Alright, it's not a big deal. After all, it's a little girl, and when she was young, she had ignorant thoughts about feelings... It's normal."

There was silence in the chamber for a moment, and James suddenly nodded and said aloud.

"Even if this girl wakes up and completely changes as a person, I believe that her feelings for Emma and Laura, as well as every friend, will not change, and for now she is still facing the Kree empire first, and she still needs to work hard for a few more days, and continue to hide here for the time being."

"I see, sir, it's not hard for me to meditate here, and as for the generational enemies in the memories of the Kree captives, do you have any awareness of the Skruls?"

James gently picked up Emma's body and prepared to walk out, smiling and shaking his head.

"No, those possible shapeshifters are a speculation on my part and yours, and judging from the current state of this race, even if there are some hidden ones on Earth, it won't be a big deal

I'm just worried that someone might take advantage of our war with the Cree to stir up trouble."

Striding to the door of the quiet room, James turned sideways as if he remembered something, and said in a deep voice, half-teasing:

"It's the few 'Super Skruls' in Mar Will's memory, if they're not wiped out by the Kree, well... It's a bit of a sight to behold."

"Mutas, Talos leader, you're not lying to me, are you..."

Poof!

Mutath, an emaciated Skrul, fell to his knees, his forehead touching the ground and his palms spread out at his sides, performing the highest courtesy to an adult of the Skrull.

Tessa beside him and several companions behind him also knelt down, unable to help but tremble lightly without knowing whether it was fear or excitement.

"Corralt, try it and you'll find out!"

Roughly located in the endless desert of western Asia, northeastern Africa.

The Skrulls' royal ship is like a giant prehistoric tree that has been dead for millions of years, deep into the desert and with a narrow tip more than 100 meters high, showing its shadow in the rolling yellow sand.

Inside the ship, the Emperor of the Skurulls, Karthus, dragged his broad chin in one hand, sat silently on the brass throne, looking at the huge light curtain in front of him, reflecting the images of the heavens and the earth changing color, and the battle of the gods, and waved his fingertips at will.

"Get up, I spent time with Talos when I was young, and I was a cautious and reliable man."

After kissing the floor of the king's ship, Mutas quickly got up, his head hanging very low, and said to Carthus respectfully and humbly:

"Your Majesty, all the information and 'pheromones' here are collected little by little by the super life forms that we have carefully lurked in the human beings on Earth for several years, and these images and materials have not even been seen by the leaders of many countries, and they are all from the inside information of the Hollett family......

World War II's Hydra forces and Captain America, Sebastian Shaw's Hellfire Institute, the Battle of the Apocalypse, and even some of the footage of the two Elite Extraordinaire competitions......

Even the Skurull royal family, which was constantly replicating among the stars of the universe, changing the powerful abilities of various races, and enriching their bodies, began to wonder for a while whether such a small planet in a remote corner of the galaxy really had so many powerful and strange super lifeforms.

Tessa, who was beside Mutas, was much more stable and continued to explain calmly.

「… About forty years ago, a large number of transcendent beings began to appear on this planet, mainly the race known as 'mutants', and after two internal wars, there were 'Black Emperor' and 'Apocalypse', which were defeated by James Howlett, and he finally ruled the planet's transcendent world."

"Carterus, I want this 'Magneto, power!'" Hahahaha, I really want to see what it's like to master such great power!"

Emperor Karter glared at Pike, who was as burly and stout as Roshan, a fellow who had the brains of a Karui beast since he acquired the pheromones of the silicon-based race Molten Martians, who had become even more violent and unmeasured.

"I guess... You didn't get this so-called 'Wolf Emperor's pheromone?'

"Your Majesty! You... How do you know? Please forgive me for our uselessness and timidity, Tessa and I have infiltrated the places where James Howlett might have lived several times, and the genetic collection device has never found any pheromones left on him, not even a tiny piece of dander..."

Mutas nearly fell to his knees with his legs limp, having grown up wandering among the stars since he was born, listening to the stories of the Super Skrulls and the glory of the Empire.

Today, when he finally met His Majesty the Emperor, Mutas seemed to see the world of his childhood dreams in his mind at this moment.

Carter slowly rose from his throne, more stout than the irascible Pike, and walked down the stairs step by step, looking at the metal box in front of him, and examining the collectors of various pheromones in the box.

I looked at a few of them with little interest, and suddenly grinned:

"It should be a person who has evolved the essence of life to a very high level, just like the other 'Eternal Skrull,' another branch of our clan 10,000 years ago, his

Every hair, every piece of epidermis, even the cells, is so perfect that it doesn't even need to be replaced by biological metabolism..."

Carthus waved his hand at the light curtain overhead, and the image was still in the vague image of James sitting on the throne of the Egyptian pyramid palace after the beheading of the apocalypse.

In the distant picture, a figure in black armor on a dilapidated towering hall and a high throne is staring into the distance, and it is just at this moment staring at the turquoise face of Carthus.

"We, chasing the 'Children of the Universe, come!"

Emperor Skrull suddenly turned around and shouted in front of more than a dozen royal families and every one of the Skrulls in the royal ship.

「… He came to this planet, the Promised Land from 'Eternity, given to my people to rise again!' We will gain their identity, their power, and even their land!"

Bang, bang, bang...

All the Skrulls unanimately hammered their fists to the center of their chests and beat them to a dull and powerful beat, giving Carthus a distinctive drumbeat.

「… Here, before the damned *** Kree arrives, let's set off a fight for the return of the supreme great Skrull Empire..."

The sound of hammering faster and faster, accompanied by a pair of fanatical eyes, all converged on Carter.

"—Secret Wars."
