In the battle between the Ghost Rider in the home world, the egg of the calamitous Phoenix Fawkes has absorbed enough magical flames, and it is only one step away from being reborn in Nirvana.

After being brought back to Osborne Tower, Mason has also been using flames to help the phoenix eggs hatch.

But perhaps the life energy transformed into ordinary fire was very weak, and in any case, it did not move until today, at a time completely beyond Mason's expectations, the undead bird Fawkes finally hatched again.

But the unknown encounter of two consecutive deaths made the phoenix obviously angry, and the moment it burst out of its shell, it flooded the storage room where it was stored with raging fire.

Hallie's handful of hair was just the most insignificant loss.

By the time Mason arrived at the storage room, the area where various minerals and gems were stacked was already so hot that it was almost burning through the floor.

The shrill fire alarm bells kept echoing, but the Osborne guards who had arrived couldn't do anything about the situation in front of them, and spraying water into them would only further infuriate Fawkes, causing the flames to fly out like flamethrowers.

"Stand back!"

Mason shouted, and kicked out the unrelated people in the shrill voice of Harley, who was clutching her hair and crying.

Maniac Wade still wants to join in the fun, but the symbiote suit on his body swoops back into him as he gets close to the fire, turning Deadpool into a bare ass.

He didn't care about it himself, he was naked anyway. Ben has done this kind of thing more than once.

But the super girl who rushed over has never seen this meeting.

Thinking she's met a pervert, Kara closes her eyes and screams and slams a punch into Deadpool's chest, sending him flying sideways like a cannonball, breaking through the glass and falling under Osborne's Tower.

"What a nasty feeling~~~"

To the accompaniment of Vedra's long, oily shouts, the firestorm flew out of the lab below.

But when he saw the phoenix flying around in the burning pantry, the guy froze.

"Dr. Stein says his worldview has been shocked."

Little Black Jack was suspended not far from the sea of fire, reached out and poked Barbara next to him, and whispered:

"Is that a phoenix? Does Team K still have this legendary creature? How many strange things do you still have to come up with? ”

"Isn't it a phoenix? Worth the fuss? ”

The well-informed bat girl, whose heart was on the verge of necrosis of nerve endings, touched the germ to treat the crying Harley's burned hair, and waved her hand and said:

"That's Fawkes, the undead bird Mason picked up, theoretically his pet?"

"Well, the relationship between the captain and his pet is really a little strained."

Firestorm took a step back.

He was not afraid of flames, but the phoenix fire in front of him was obviously not an ordinary incendiary object, and it was difficult to use technology to exempt it from the magic damage attached to it.

The Kryptonians are also a little blind.

Bizarro had just tried to extinguish the fire with a frozen ray, only to be confronted by an angry Fawkes who spat out a spark in the face, and was lying on the ground holding his face and wailing.

With the "weak demon" physique of Kryptonians, it is better for them to stay away from this kind of thing that cannot be commonly theorized.

"Mason! Mind your birds! ”

Even the old green goblin was alarmed.

His voice rang out from the loudspeakers of this level, and he scolded:

"Storage Room 17 is already over the limits of the building materials, and if it burns down, the whole building will burn down, and I've already rebuilt it three times since you moved in!

Damn it!

This time, you will pay for the materials! ”

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Mason was sweating as he stood in the doorway of the burning pantry, scrambling to wake up his hat and causing the people around him to back away.

Although the phoenix in front of him is only in its infancy, its innate magical animal ability has awakened very deeply, probably because it was beaten by Sister Ka last time?

"It's angry."

It's also rare for a phoenix to get out of control, and he tries to communicate, but Mason pouts.

It's so angry that it doesn't need you to translate it.

Look at the screaming it was chirping inside, although Mason didn't understand bird language and could guess Fox's mood at this time, well, although I couldn't understand what it was scolding, it must be dirty.

"Let it extinguish the flame first, and then have something to say."

Mason urged, and the hat acted as a "translator" to pass on his thoughts to the undead birds who were making a fuss in the storeroom, but not a second after these words were spoken, more terrifying flames erupted in front of Mason's eyes.

Not only was the flames blazing, but even the color had changed to a dark blue magic fire, which was the purifying flame that burned Wesker's half-life at the Grand Temple of New York.

Mason's scalp tingling when he saw it.

Fortunately, he has successfully transformed into a "water man", and the moment he was added to the flames, he disappeared in place as if evaporated, and then restored himself on the scorched ground through the principle of three-state transformation.

"It's going to make a three-chapter deal with you, Mason."

The hat was almost burned, but fortunately, Mason had just covered it with his own "water", and the fire made the hat sweat, and he quickly conveyed the meaning of the angry phoenix.

"It says it wouldn't have accepted your magic flame in Gotham that night if it had a choice, but now that it's done, it can't break ties unless you're dead.

But you have to accept its three conditions. ”

"Say! Say it all, you can discuss, but can it trouble it to put out the fire first? ”

Mason said a little frantically:

"Next to my lab, if the contents in it blow up, it will be over!"

At his request, the flames in the pantry snapped back like a time replay, and the brilliant flames turned into feathers of light around Fawkes, making it look fantastical as it crouched on the burnt metal shelves.

But seriously, this phoenix is not big.

The overall size is about the same as walking on the ground.

However, the fiery red feathers on the top of its head and the flaming tail feathers on its tail are particularly long and elegant, and the feathers on its wings are all phantom of fire, so it looks several times larger than normal.

It crouched there, its nimble black glass-like eyes glaring at Mason viciously, and continued to spout foul language from the bird-language world in a light hiss.

"Well, that's so dirty, I'm not going to translate it, anyway, its first requirement is that you can't let it deal with crazy guys it can't deal with.

It's your sister card. ”

The hat coughed, perfectly fulfilling his duties as a translator and making Phoenix's first request.

Very reasonable request.

There was no sense of being vexatious at all, but Mason felt a little ashamed, to be honest, it was a bit of a martial arts to let a juvenile phoenix deal with an Isu demigod.

So he hurriedly nodded and agreed.

As a result, Fox screamed again and spewed flames to express his displeasure.

"You can't just say it, you have to make a note."

The hat whispered a reminder, and Mason pursed his lips, took out his notebook, wrote a few strokes, and showed it to the cunning Fox Phoenix.

Satisfied, it stopped screaming foul language, and gracefully pecked at the flaming feathers of its wings with its long black beak, and then hissed a few more times.

"The second requirement is that it needs magic flames for food, it is tired of the shriveled and tasteless nature of ordinary flames, and it wants unique flames as its own food."

Hat Old God in the translation to:

"I guess what it means is that you need to feed it every day with your magic flames, and if you really can't find the time, find other flames to make a snack for it.

What a gluttonous little thing.

But considering that what you did before was really not authentic, so you can start with it. ”

"Okay, it's not a big deal."

Mason tilted his head and scribbled a few more strokes.

The phoenix was even more satisfied, seeing that Mason was so cooperative, and its waking up qi had almost dissipated, so it flapped its wings and flew to Mason's side in the scattering of flaming light feathers, circled around him a few times, and finally shrunk and landed on Mason's shoulder.

With an elegant tweet, he said his last request.

"Ahem, it says you have to sort out the identity between you and it, it's not your pet, it's just your collaborator, so you can't ask it to do some dirty work against its will."

The hat says:

In addition, Fawkes demanded that he have a magnificent bird's nest worthy of his identity, made of the finest sycamore wood, and decorated with various precious stones.

If you can, it wants you to help it find a companion who is equally noble and elegant. Well, this is a request that Dumbledore had promised it but never did.

Even in the world of Hogwarts, the phoenix is a very rare species, and the Dumbledore family has been searching for several generations without being able to accomplish this. ”

"Ah, I'll go to the secret treasure trove of the Star Fortress another day."

Mason made a painful promise and finally wrote his name on the paper in his hand, and Fawkes tilted his head to look at the words, and after reading them several times, he spat out a ball of flame and turned into a signature and landed on the paper.

Then the paper in Mason's hand burst into flames, forming a unique force in the flying feathers of light, falling into his body like a vague lock.

This is obviously a very advanced "contract", which fully proves that the phoenix is a creature that can not only control fire, but also control magical magic.

"Wow, what a pretty bird."

Hallie, wrapped in a bandana to make the hair growth agent work, walked up with sparkling eyes, and reached out to try to touch Fawkes on Mason's shoulder, who pretended not to see Harley's hand and suddenly pecked her as she approached.

The scorching heat nearly scorched Hallie's fingers, causing her to jump out and hide behind Barbara, causing Fawkes to hiss with pleasure on her back.

Ah, yes! It's the .gif that neurotic bird looks up to the sky and laughs

"This phoenix's personality is not quite right!"

Mason said of the hat in his hand:

"Is it the same in Dumbledore's hands? How do I feel like I've raised it crookedly? ”

"Uh, maybe it's the flames?"

The hat guessed:

"You've been feeding it hellfire, and some of the symbolic things contained in this energy that originates from the chaotic side may indeed have affected the character of the phoenix.

But it's not a big deal.

It's still a creature on the order side, it's just that you're going to have to use a snack later, Mason, and get a change of clothes before you set off for Utopia. ”

"Huh? My clothes are fine, I just changed them today. ”

"It's not. You have bird poop on your chest, it's still the kind that burns, and voila, it's smoking! Well, I don't think there's something quite right with your phoenix right now. ”

——

Twenty minutes later, a stinky Mason followed the lively Wade through the World Gate five times in a row, and finally reached the world border of Utopia.

On his shoulder still stood Fawkes, singing, the newborn immortal bird was new to everything, and the experience of traveling through the world made it very mesmerized and in a good mood.

This is probably the result of Mason "sacrificing" his favorite trench coat.

"You can't use the World Gate any further."

Wade, who had kept his promise along the way, was finally able to speak, making him feel very comfortable, and Mason pretended not to see his crazy sign language along the way.

It's almost like a fucking ninja seal.

This annoying guy always has a way to get the attention of other people.

He would stand at the door of the world of a desolate world, point to the Chaos Nebula in the distance, and say:

"We have to stay here and wait for the door of utopia to open for us, the place is secret, its world coordinates are constantly changing, and it cannot be locked by any outside guidance."

"How long has it been locked down here?"

In Fawkes' elegant exclamation, Mason, with a bird on his shoulder, asked:

"How many mutants are there here?"

"I can't count."

Wade pulled out a wasteland burrito and ate it, saying:

"Almost all the mutant civilizations that have been discovered so far have migrated here, it's like merging multiple worlds together, and I'm too lazy to care about that.

But in my words, utopia is all about mixing-flavored chocolate with chocolate-flavored, and no matter how you taste it, it will disgust you. ”

"Looks like you have a lot of grudges against this place?"

Mason raised his eyebrows in surprise and said:

"Don't you think this is the only home for mutants in the post-apocalyptic era?"

"Hey, I'm fine without being in there."

WADE PUT ON A JOJO POSTURE, CROSSED HIS HANDS ON HIS HIPS, AND SAID WITH DISDAIN:

"Would you like a place that kicked you out several times? I didn't do anything bad, didn't I just paint on their palace and hook up with a few girls from the X royal family?

But it doesn't matter, you know what's the most disgusting? Mason. ”

Deadpool snorted, looked at the strange flying machine that landed in the distance, and said to Mason in a low voice:

"The people of the X royal family are sick in the brain! They stubbornly believe that mutants and humans cannot coexist, perhaps because of the disease brought out of their mother's womb, and that mutants who want to join here must cut off all ties with their human relatives and friends.

I'm a madman, but I know some superficial truths. Guys who can even abandon their own families, can you expect them to get together and do great things? ”

At this point, Wade's overly expressive mask squeezed out a very weird wicked smile, and he patted Mason on the shoulder and said:

"If you want me to choose one of Utopia and the Stars, who do you think I'll choose?"

"Why do you have to choose one of the two pleas?"

Mason reached out and took Wade's shoulder, and he whispered:

"You have a third option now, Wade, I may need to take a little bit of your time to explain to you my view of this era, you can

Well, what is this thing in your hand?

Why is it slimy? ”

"Oh, I was just waiting for boredom so. You know, it's a great feeling to reward yourself with a Venom suit, but I don't know if the symbiote will get pregnant because of it.

I guess not, right?

Alas?

Why did your bird open its mouth to me?

What is this for?

It's "

"Boom"

Under Mason's indifferent gaze as he wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, the phoenix fire erupted, burning filth.

TMD, let the flames cleanse all filth!
