Chapter 77 - Accepting Little Phoenix as a Disciple

After the farce ended, Shen Mu, having used magic to record clear footage of the cross-dressing Professor, released Magneto as promised and departed!

However, before leaving, Shen Mu said to Magneto, "You should study modern physics properly from now on! Your potential is more than this, but your methods are too crude, relying entirely on instinct. I hope you can give me a surprise next time we meet."

The difference between Magneto, who can control magnetic fields, and 'Iron King,' who can only control metal, is like heaven and earth.

The latter is merely a stronger ant, while the former has the qualifications to become a Universe-level powerhouse.

After speaking, Shen Mu stepped into a teleportation gate and vanished!

Magneto, at this moment, was also lost in deep thought; he was indeed touched by what Shen Mu had said.

In the brief battle before, he, as if divinely inspired, used his abilities to do things he had never dared to imagine.

After all, in his perception, his ability had always been to control metal.

But, it seems that after Apocalypse's guidance, his true Mutant ability had awakened!

"Apocalypse!"

When he thought of that name, Magneto's heart suddenly stirred.

That Mutant ancestor, even more extreme than himself, was still searching for his Horsemen.

At some point, he would stir up even greater waves than Magneto himself.

"Erik, come back with us!"

The Professor, still wearing a long red dress, said this to his old friend.

Magneto looked at Professor X with a complicated expression.

They were once the best of friends, but they went their separate ways due to differing ideologies.

Although he was angry at his cowardly actions, the other party had firmly chosen to save him in his most perilous moment.

"If you want to leave, do it now! Otherwise, it might not be so easy to leave later!"

Magneto knew that the commotion caused this time was quite significant!

Soon, this place would become an encirclement. Although he had no fear, he wanted to consider his old friend's feelings.

"I've already notified Hank to pick us up!"

Professor X was also happy to hear Magneto's tone, because he knew that this time he could bring him back!

So, the three of them no longer lingered and immediately headed in the predetermined direction.

However, before leaving, Charles looked towards a certain spot underground, his mental power spreading out.

...

What was originally a mobilization meeting to declare war on Mutants and display military might using Sentinel Robots had now turned into a joke.

Bolivar, the highly anticipated genius scientist, was shot to smithereens before he could even properly make an appearance, and the Sentinel Robots he designed and manufactured became the weapons that murdered him.

The President, hidden in his underground bunker, was now regretting listening to Bolivar's instigation!

Although Mutants and humans had had friction in private over the years, the overall situation had tended towards peaceful coexistence.

Yet, he had wanted to forcefully break this balance, eliminate Mutants, and nearly plunged humanity into the most terrifying extinction crisis in history.

Mr. President himself hadn't realized that his thoughts, under the invisible mental influence of a certain person, had slowly shifted towards a more peaceful direction.

This was because Professor X, after experiencing all these astonishing events, was no longer so naive.

He knew how much his abilities would contribute to the great cause of promoting harmonious coexistence between humans and Mutants.

Although his philosophy of pursuing peaceful coexistence would not change, if anyone tried to disrupt his vision of peace, he would no longer be polite.

Shen Mu, carrying the Space Stone, returned to Jean Grey's home.

However, Mr. and Mrs. Grey now had deep fear on their faces.

But, the Little Phoenix stared at Shen Mu with shining eyes, showing no hint of fear.

"I want to learn magic from you!"

The Little Phoenix was incredibly envious of Shen Mu's act of opening a teleportation gate just now.

She thought that if she also learned that magic of drawing circles, she could go wherever she wanted.

"Jean, don't be silly!"

John quietly rebuked his daughter.

"Mr. Shen, I only hope my daughter can live her life safely and peacefully, and I don't want her to be involved in those terrifying incidents."

"I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts as a father."

After witnessing the terrifying battle between Mutants, he truly did not want his daughter to be involved.

And from today onwards, he had decided to teach his daughter to conceal her powers and live as an ordinary person.

"Don't even think about that. As the host of the Phoenix Force, Jean's destiny is bound to be extraordinary."

"Even if she doesn't want to cause trouble, trouble will eventually find her. As the Phoenix Force within her continues to awaken, she will gradually embark on the path to godhood."

"So, in order for her to have enough power to resolve everything when trouble comes knocking, she must learn to control her power."

Shen Mu ignored John's words and directly laid the truth he wanted to avoid before him.

John looked at his daughter with complex eyes.

"Mr. Shen, I wonder if you have a way to remove that Phoenix Force from Jean's body."

Afterward, John still asked, unwilling to give up.

"It's no use. Even if she loses the Phoenix Force, Jean is still a Mutant, and the most powerful Omega-level Mutant."

"You are not a Mutant, and you simply cannot understand the power an Omega-level Mutant possesses."

Shen Mu knew very well that part of the reason Jean could become the host of the Phoenix was her Omega-level Mutant psychic talent, and these traits attracted the Phoenix Force.

"Then will Jean be in danger if she follows you to learn magic?"

After hearing Shen Mu say this, John was somewhat resigned!

"Danger? Contact with magic certainly carries danger. However, all of this is not dangerous for the host of the Phoenix Force."

The use of magic in the Marvel Universe always comes with a corresponding price.

Not to mention various dark magic, which often leads to Death where even the soul cannot escape, even the White Magic used by Doctor Strange caused a large hole to be corroded in his stomach.

But all of this is not an issue in the face of the Phoenix Force.

Because even if she dies, the Phoenix Force will automatically absorb cosmic energy to make her reborn through nirvana.

"Father, did you agree to let me learn magic with my teacher?"

On the other side, Jean excitedly blinked her big eyes at her father.

Shen Mu smiled knowingly at these words; this Little Phoenix was quite good at seizing an opportunity.

However, this single word 'teacher' indeed made Shen Mu's heart stir. Although he had initially planned to let Ancient One teach her, he suddenly changed his mind now!

magic was no longer a secret to him now. All the magic books of Kamar-Taj were etched in his mind, and he had memorized most of Asgard's magic as well.

So, why couldn't he teach her himself!

It could just add a touch of fun to his boring life.
