Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

"Accept me, become me, and we will become the gods who dominate everything and the phoenix that destroys everything!"

"If you leave my body, I am not a phoenix!"

"Leave, don't you understand? I am you, I am Qin, and you are also the Phoenix. That hypocrite Charles separated us when we were weak, and now, it's time for us to be integrated again."

"What are you still resisting? You can't be afraid of your own power. We are born to make the world fearful!"

"No! Power should not be used to intimidate, and the professor is not a hypocrite. He trained me and taught me..."

"That's taming! It's imprisonment! It's a shameful brainwashing to obey his will. We were supposed to be phoenixes soaring in the sky, but what have you become now? A docile lamb who is content to live in the sheepfold?"

"The true meaning of power lies in conquering and making people fear, rather than being imprisoned by the so-called laws and morals compiled by humans. Nothing can imprison us. We can smash everything, destroy everything, and finally rebuild everything!"

"We should be Phoenix, not that pathetic Jean! Be me!!"

"No! I am not a phoenix, but Qin!!"

…………

In the spiritual space surrounded by countless red streams of light, two phantoms with the same appearance but completely different temperaments were engaged in a fierce quarrel and confrontation in the center of the space. At the same time, the two phantoms also began to entangle in this continuous entanglement. blend into each other.

As time went by, the red shadow with a wanton and indulgent temperament gradually gained the upper hand. Her red hair was loose and flowing freely, and her eyes were intensely red, filled with an uncontrollable fiery desire.

Under the blessing of countless red streams around her, her body expanded rapidly, and soon another shadow with a gentle temperament was pressed to the corner of the space, shrinking into a white ball to resist the all-pervasive surroundings. erosion.

For three full years, the confrontation between these two different personalities and wills never stopped. But starting from the second year, the Phoenix personality gradually gained the upper hand, but no matter what, she could not completely engulf him. That person represents Qin's original will, and the tenacity of the other party's will is immeasurable.

This also led to Qin sleeping at the bottom of Lake Alkali for a long time and never being able to escape. As it continues so far, the battle within the spiritual space has gradually come to an end. Although the two different personalities still cannot fully blend, Among them, the personality named Dark Phoenix is ​​already in an absolutely suppressed position.

The specific manifestation of this reflected in the outside world is that in the spiritual defense shield located at the bottom of the lake, Qin's ever-changing temperament and demeanor finally gradually became stable. She changed from the original quiet and intellectual to the demonic and flamboyant at this moment.

Suddenly, as if she felt some crisis emerging, Qin's eyes that had been closed for three years suddenly opened, and a fiery red phoenix with wings spread out in the center of the pupils flashed away.

Looking around, I could see the water surging around the bottom of the lake. Countless cannonballs of various colors crossed the water and appeared in the depths of the lake. Then, the surface of each cannonball burst out with eye-catching fire, and all the cannonballs exploded at the same moment.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Outside the lake, continuous roars echoed through the sky, and hundreds of artillery shells detonated at the bottom of the lake. The scene was extremely shocking.

I saw countless rays of fire and a large amount of water rising from the lake, like an undersea volcano erupting. The entire Lake Alkali turned into a boiling hot soup pot under the explosion, with high temperature and shock in the blink of an eye. It affected every inch of the lake.

At the edge of the lake shore, the shock caused by the explosion continued. The waves soon gathered into towering waves, slamming heavily on the land outside the lake shore, causing the tide to surge and the water to splash. At the same time, it also shocked the people on the shore. Magneto and his team took several steps back, and then managed to avoid the current rushing ashore.

Looking at the churning lake in front of him, Magneto raised his eyebrows slightly. Now the entire lake has been completely detonated, but Qin is still not found. In addition, Mystique has left forever not long ago. All these make His face darkened, and he couldn't help but cast his scrutinizing gaze on Xi Ming, whose expression was unclear to the rear right.

His lips were slightly opened, and he was about to say something, but a trembling female voice suddenly came from beside him.

"I felt a terrifying force blooming at the bottom of the lake. It was level five! Omega-level mutants actually exist. How could such energy fluctuations be possible..."

Magneto heard the voice and looked sideways. The speaker was a member of the Brotherhood he had just taken under his command yesterday, a black woman codenamed Night Woman. Her mutant ability is to move at supersonic speeds and to be able to sense other people within a certain range. Abilities and Levels.

Due to her outstanding combat effectiveness and unique investigation ability, after joining the Brotherhood, she was directly promoted by Magneto to a key member who is always by his side, and now this key member has obviously detected something.

The narrowed pupils were staring directly at the lake in front of her. The night traveler was trying her best to control her emotions, but her unstoppable trembling voice still exposed the uncontrollable panic in her heart. Now she only felt as if she was standing on In front of a nuclear bomb that was about to detonate, the terrifying pressure of being so close made even breathing become laborious.

"She's awake!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sky-reaching water column exploded again in the center of the boiling lake. A surging shock wave mixed with rich water vapor spread out instantly from the center of the water column.

The mighty water vapor impact spread from the center of the lake to the lake shore in an instant. Caught off guard, except for a few people such as Magneto and Xi Ming, the rest of the people were blown away by the oncoming shock wave.

Pyro John, who had always claimed to be Magneto's right-hand man, was no exception. He was thrown several meters away by the shock wave without any resistance, and fell heavily into the rocky beach behind.

The severe pain caused by the close contact between his back and the hard gravel made him let out a painful groan, and then his vision went black and he lost all consciousness.

It wasn't until a few breaths passed that the mutant's naturally strong body gradually woke him up, and he struggled to get up from the ground. As far as he could see, the bright white light suddenly blocked all vision.

When the white light dissipated, only a beautiful silhouette with red hair floating above the lake was seen floating out of thin air. It was obvious that the figure was not majestic, but at the moment of attention, John felt his breathing stagnant, as if the surrounding air had become thick and oppressive.

On the other side, the nose of the piano suspended in mid-air moved slightly, and a large number of bubbles suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake that had not calmed down beneath him. Then more than ten thick red illusory rivers broke through the lake surface and flew continuously to the surroundings of the beautiful figure in the sky. Devoured entirely by her.

These long rivers are the huge energy that has not been dissipated in the lake from the explosion not long ago. To ordinary people, they represent destruction, but in Phoenix's eyes, they are just food for filling her stomach. She was sealed by Charles for several times. After ten years, she finally broke free from the cage, but she was entangled with Qin's main consciousness personality for three years. Now that she finally woke up, she was already hungry.

After a while, the flying red river was swallowed up, but these were obviously not enough to satisfy Phoenix's hungry appetite. Instead, her fire of desire became even more blazing, and her eyes, which had turned pitch black at some point, looked down. , Qin looked down coldly at Magneto and his group below, her red tongue poked out, and she licked her lips calmly. Her expression was indifferent but revealed a hint of extreme greed.

"Why not Scott, but they seem to be delicious too."

The subtle words were blown away by the wind, and at the edge of the lakeshore, Magneto, who was standing at the forefront of the crowd, changed his expression. He felt a beam of malicious eyes coming from the sky, and along with it came something that made him A numbing scalp with a fatal sense of crisis.

"Wait, Qin! Wake up, we are here to rescue your compatriots, not the enemy!"

Amidst the low shouts, Magneto retreated continuously, and at the same time, several large and thick silver metal plates flew out from behind everyone under his control, firmly protecting him in front of him. Since he knew Qin's information in advance, Of course he wouldn't come unprepared.

However, in the next second, the metal plates holding the front turned into dust and dissipated in the horrified eyes of everyone. The whole scene was silent, but it revealed an indescribable feeling of terror.

"Qin, calm down, we are compatriots! Charles is afraid of your power, but I won't. The brotherhood will accept the truest you!"

Above, as Magneto's low shout reached his ears, the shout caused Qin's originally calm mental space to riot again, and the battle between the two personalities began again.

Reacting to the outside world, the suspended Qin let out a mournful cry, and then the ultimate destructive power began to escape indiscriminately. The lakes surged and rose wherever it passed, and the rocks were reduced to ashes.

In an instant, there was chaos within a hundred meters, and even gravity seemed to disappear. A huge amount of lake water floated away from the lake surface, and various fish creatures that were lifted up by the lake water, after rising to a certain extent, It turned into powder and spread out from beginning to end, slowly blending into the surrounding lake water, adding a dazzling red color to it.

Soon, a huge and constantly expanding suspended water ball appeared at the junction of the lake and the land. On the edge of the water ball were the brothers of the Brotherhood who were retreating in fear. One of them may have injured his legs and feet because he was thrown away before. So the retreat is slower.

The next moment, he was enveloped by the expanding water ball, and the look of panic on his face solidified. He didn't even have time to cry out, and he ended up with the same fate as those fishes, turning into ashes all over the sky. Xu Piao dispersed in front of everyone.

Looking at his men who were instantly wiped out not far away, Magneto had no anger or fear in his eyes, only the fire hidden deep in his eyes.

This is the future that mutants deserve. Only this kind of god-like power can destroy all obstacles, including humans, and allow mutants to truly rise and reach their peak, completing the complete replacement of low-level human races by high-level races.

His fiery gaze passed through the suspended water curtain on the periphery, and finally landed on the painful-looking Qin in the center of the water ball. Magneto's eyes flickered and he said in a deep voice:

"Playing with fate."

"Yes, sir."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Ming, who was still covered by a black robe beside him, stepped out, holding a fist-sized soul crystal in his pale fingers, and then threw it in the direction of the water polo.

The transparent crystal broke through the water curtain, but when it reached the figure in the center of the water ball, it inevitably turned into countless crystal debris.

Crystal fragments were flying around her side, and Qin's originally closed eyes suddenly opened after sensing the unique pure soul breath in the soul crystal, greedily swallowing the surrounding crystal fragments completely with the power of the Phoenix.

A few seconds later, when the crystal chips were completely digested, Qin's chaotic mental space was also forcibly suppressed by the sudden burst of soul energy. Her painful expression returned to calm, and she lowered her eyes to look at Xi Ming below, her eyes Greed and malice were mixed, and then he seemed to sense something, and the strong malice in his eyes gradually subsided.

"not enough!"

On the edge of the water ball, Xi Ming's upper body was slightly bowed, and a hoarse voice came out from the pale mask under the hood.

"Ms. Phoenix, this is just a meeting gift. I just want you to believe that our brotherhood is here to help you become your true self."

After pondering for a moment, Qin, or Black Phoenix, turned her gaze away from Xi Ming and looked at Magneto aside. The other person was not wearing the iconic helmet that could shield the mind from prying eyes at the moment, so she was very worried. You can easily sense all the other person's thoughts.

Their eyes met for a long time, Qin said calmly:

"I'm joining."

As soon as she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and fell straight from mid-air, and the suspended water curtain around her also lost its power at the same time, pouring to the ground with large splashes of water.

As the water splashed, a silver metal plate suddenly rushed into the water, and lightly caught the red-haired figure who was about to land. Then the metal plate flew out automatically, floating steadily in front of Magneto.

Staring at Qin who fell asleep again on the metal plate, Magneto slowly put on the red helmet, and the expression on his face quickly changed from gentle to solemn.

"It's time for humans to see the true power of mutants!"

In the declaration full of murderous intent, the Brotherhood and others who had achieved their goal quickly left the shore of Lake Alkali under the leadership of Magneto, and quickly disappeared.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that the clouds at the dome of the lake suddenly rippled, and then Xu Yue, with his wings of fire flapping behind him, emerged from inside the clouds, overlooking the pitted lakeside on the surface and remained silent for a long time.

He had not just arrived, but had arrived near Lake Alkali long before Qin rushed out of the lake. He had just been hiding in the very high clouds and watching silently.

It's not that he doesn't want to prevent the birth of Phoenix, it's just that it's simply impossible to do so. Once Magneto learned the specific information about Qin, the birth of Phoenix was already an inevitable fact.

He is not yet strong enough to confront the Brotherhood alone. As the leader, he may not be able to deal with Magneto alone. The opponent's metal ability is too restrained for him.

And it seems that the Magneto in this world is not just the Iron King in the movie plot who can only manipulate steel. He just saw with his own eyes that the method used by the other party to resist the water vapor shock wave was clearly some kind of invisible magnetism. Shield, this method means that the opponent's control of magnetic energy is by no means as simple as simply manipulating steel.

As his thoughts swirled, Xu Yue took one last deep look at the direction Magneto and his group were leaving, then turned around and flew away.

Although he failed to effectively prevent the birth of Phoenix, it was not without gain this time. At least he had a new understanding of Magneto's strength and successfully prevented Scott from being captured by them.

Without the support of the infinite energy in Scott's body, even if Qin's Phoenix Power is awakened, it will not expand to a completely irresistible level in a short period of time, and this is enough.

Now that the Brotherhood now has Qin's trump card, it should only be a few days before the war breaks out. He needs to rush back to the college immediately to inform the professor to prepare. Soon this war will affect the two camps of humans and mutants. A fierce confrontation will begin.

Thinking of the many forces that exist in this world, the intensity of this battle should far exceed what was shown in the original plot. To be honest, he is looking forward to it!
