14. Coping strategies(1/2)
"I'm basically sure that this form of energy, and its special reading cycle, is the power of the phoenix."
In the Victorian-style conference hall of Xavier Castle, while the members of the Illuminati, the owner of the place, Professor Charles Francis Xavier with reading glasses, looked at the projection in front of him.
After a while, he took off his glasses and talked:
"Everyone present should have heard of the power of the phoenix to a greater or lesser extent. After all, in the history of our world, there are many legends left by the power of the phoenix to have left behind, and there are many versions."
"yes."
Black Panther Prince Techara nodded.
He said in a reminiscent tone:
"In the ancient legend of Wakanda, our ancestors had witnessed the phoenix descending to the earth like a projection before his eyes. The letter he left behind recorded the scene of that day in detail."
"It is said that the whole world is like being placed in a stove and smoked. The largest river in Africa is diverted in one day. Many people think that it is the moment when the end of the world comes."
"But that phoenix was eventually subdued by mysterious power."
"surrender?"
Little crystal blinked, and the young girl held her chin in a posture of listening to stories. She asked curiously:
"How to subdue? If it is the power of the phoenix in full state, is there such a powerful person on Earth, Almighty Heavenly Father?"
"I don't know if there is one."
Black Panther smiled and said:
"But my ancestors were sure, and he said with certainty that day he looked over the high mountains of Wakanda and saw the halo rising from the east sky."
"A monster like a giant snake rushed into the sky from the mountains, rivers and rivers, fighting with the phoenix, just like fighting for the world's dominance. During the battle for several minutes, the whole world was shaken."
"In the end, the phoenix failed. It whined, resounded through the world, and then turned into a ball of fire and returned to the stars."
"Well, it sounds like a myth."
Tony commented with interest:
"But you can't believe this statement?"
"No, this is true."
Dumm answered in a hoarse voice:
"I don't have much research on the power of the Phoenix, but in Kamataj's library, I have read the notes of the last Supreme Master, the Ancient Master."
"Her notes also record the last time the phoenix power descended to the earth in a magnificent manner, which was a real event that occurred in the 16th century."
"His Excellency Techara's statement is basically complete and correct, but the one who defeated the phoenix at that time was not the giant snake monster, but another great power. In the East, they called it the 'power of the dragon'."
"I know this!"
Xiao Shuijing raised her hand like a primary school student who answered the teacher's question, and she said:
"The totem and divine dragon of Eastern civilization are completely different from the giant dragon of the West. It is said that there are still divine dragons on the eastern land."
“Yes, there is indeed.”
God Dum nodded, and he said:
"It's in another holy land in the Eastern Kingdom, called "Kunlun", where it is the mysterious iron fist power, which is the birthplace of the dragon power."
"There are many of the most powerful monks in the world. Unfortunately, the purpose of that holy land is in a closed state, and even I cannot open it."
Doom's statement made Dr. Reid, who was sitting next to Tony's side, and the smartest man in the world asked immediately:
"So since the mysterious dragon power has defeated the phoenix in full swing, can we?"
"I'm sorry, no."
Dum shook his head, he sighed and said regretfully:
"Not mentioning whether Kunlun is willing to intervene in this matter, just talk about the information I have so far."
"In the long history, the holders of Kunlun's dragon power, who they call the brave fighters of "Iron Fist", are weaker than the next generation. Although they are reluctant to say that, they really can't help."
"I suspect this is probably because in the 16th century, the most powerful dragon power holder in history, the Iron Fist Lady named Wu Fengji defeated the phoenix power, causing the mysterious dragon power to be consumed too much and it has not been able to replenish it for hundreds of years."
The Supreme Master glanced at everyone and said:
“This road cannot be done.”
“This is really a pity.”
Luther, who was in charge of the meeting, shook his head, and he looked at Professor X beside him, and he said:
"Then, professor, as far as I know, mutants should be considered one of the most knowledgeable ethnic groups among all the civilizations on earth. A few years ago, you had a host of the phoenix power."
"Qin, that's my disciple."
The professor stroked the armrest of the wheelchair and a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
He said:
"That was a tragedy. With the help of Merlin, we had found a way to make Qin and the power of the phoenix coexist perfectly, but because of some shameful conspiracy, Qin lost control."
"That time, she relied on the incomplete phoenix power to transform into a black phoenix and almost destroyed the entire East Coast."
"She's amazing."
Tony moved his fingers.
He also participated in the battle to expel the Black Phoenix with Merlin. He glanced at the silent Clark and said:
"At that time, Merlin used magic to enter the heart of Qin. Gray, and restrained the black phoenix from the inside."
"Superman and I, and Thor, attacked the body of the Black Phoenix from the outside, but before Merlin gained the upper hand in the spiritual world, we could not even hurt the Black Phoenix at all."
"Yes."
Clark nodded, he added:
"That battle was very difficult, and it was a lucky winner in the end. If Ms. Qin had not voluntarily sacrificed herself to purify the evil spirits of the Black Phoenix, she would have been unable to defeat her by relying on us at that time."
“I care more about the results than the process.”
Luther knocked on the table, he looked at Clark, and he asked:
"How did you defeat her? I mean, through what method can we force the phoenix power to leave the earth?"
“It’s very simple.”
Tony made a punch move, he said:
"With the help of Miss Qin, we broke it!"
"Broken again?"
Luther and Reed both questioned in confusion.
The two smart guys looked at each other, and then asked by Dr. Reed:
"Whether it is the mysterious Dragon Fist fighter or the last battle with the Black Phoenix, the result of the battle ends with the phoenix's power being broken, so can we understand it as?"
Reed stared at the projection in front of him, and he looked at the energy aggregate projected enough to cover most of the planet, he said:
"Its weakness lies in the instability of the energy body. If we can find a way to smash it or cut it, can we effectively reduce its threat?"
“It’s like weakening.”
Luther added:
"If a cutter cuts the cream, every cut will reduce the total amount of cream. In theory, as long as the number of cuts is sufficient, even the power of the phoenix near the monomer universe can be eliminated to the level that ordinary people can defeat?"
"this"
Everyone here is wise enough.
After Luther proposed the method, Xia Kezhe, the immortal queen who had been working hard to reduce her presence, slapped the table hard and said loudly:
"You are all talking about science, but there is no such thing as cutting in the magic world. This evil phoenix power looks more like a magic power, right?"
"Indeed, it is impossible to use scientific theories to explain magic."
The mature and persistent Dum nodded.
But before he could find the blind spot, the Queen Xia Kezhe, who had a wave of presence in front of the big guys, showed a smug expression. The next sentence of the god Dumu slapped Xia Kezhe in the face.
Dumm, wearing a mask, whispered:
"But the power of magic can also be weakened by cutting, but it only requires extremely high manipulation ability. The only ones in this world who can achieve this level are probably the only two of me and Merlin."
"Merlin is busy with other matters and cannot be separated. I am not sure if I rely on me alone."
"Where is Wanda?"
Icarus stretched out his finger and poked his face, and she said to Doum:
"I heard Merlin say that Wanda's Chaos Magic, on a certain level, is the one with the highest destructive and priority of all magic, if she can help you."
"The premise is that Wanda does not lose control!"
The god Dumu strengthened his tone and said:
