Shen Mu, who was far away in Alfheim, didn't know that Mephisto had already brought out his ultimate weapon to deal with him!
That was Ghost Rider, with the Penance Stare!
However, while the Penance Stare's concept was powerful, its actual performance was quite useless.
Because if the target of the judgment believed that everything they had done was with a clear conscience, then the judgment would not be effective.
In one Universe, Ghost Rider failed when he tried to use the Penance Stare on Thanos, who had slaughtered dozens of Planets to curry favor with the Goddess of Death!
Because Thanos never felt guilt for the lives he eliminated.
However, Mephisto at this time didn't know about this bug in the Penance Stare; after all, the Ghost Rider he had created had never failed a judgment before.
This was also why he had such confidence in the Rider he created.
Shen Mu was still unaware of everything happening on Earth; he was currently pondering how to continue teaching Little Phoenix.
Because of her innate and powerful psychic abilities, Little Phoenix absorbed magic knowledge very quickly.
Furthermore, with the Phoenix Force in her body providing unconditional energy, her entry into magic was significantly faster than Shen Mu's.
After all, Shen Mu had held that small branch of the World Tree and meditated for a long time without any results. If it weren't for his divine power awakening and coincidentally sensing magic energy, Shen Mu didn't know how much longer it would have taken him to get started!
For essential spells like teleportation portals, Little Phoenix could open them in just half a day!
However, due to her proficiency and understanding, she still couldn't achieve inter-Universe travel.
But, given her learning speed and the full support of the Phoenix, it wouldn't be long before she fully mastered it.
And spellcasting in the Marvel Universe is relatively simple; once the casting steps are understood, it can almost always be cast.
After all, strictly speaking, they only have the right to use the magic they cast, not ownership.
Therefore, for mages in the Marvel Universe, the only factors affecting their strength are combat experience, their mastery of magic, and the strength of the power they can borrow.
Individuals like Doctor Strange and the Ancient One, who are favored by powerful entities, naturally have more power they can borrow, and their authority is also higher.
Their strength is naturally on a different level compared to ordinary mages.
Besides these, there are also more unique existences, such as the Scarlet Witch, who possesses Chaos Magic.
For example, Wanda, with her initial awakening of Chaos Magic, could easily defeat most other veteran mages.
After all, the entity who created Chaos Magic had already established itself above the Multiverse!
This makes both the lower and upper limits of Chaos Magic very high!
And Wanda was personally chosen by Him, so naturally, He would not be stingy with power.
Now Jean is in a similar situation; she has extremely high innate talent, and with the Phoenix Force, which Shen Mu has impressed and now wholeheartedly helps her, all her paths are paved!
"This doesn't seem like a sustainable approach!"
Shen Mu suddenly realized that a student learning too fast was also a kind of happy trouble; soon, he, as the teacher, would be depleted.
"Damn it, what am I thinking?!"
"Learning quickly is a good thing! Once she has the ability to protect herself faster, I can take her to explore the Universe, gain experience, and improve her combat ability at the same time."
"Once she can stand on her own, I can let her go out and explore on her own! She can go wherever she wants, and it will have nothing to do with me then!"
Suddenly, Shen Mu slapped his thigh and said with sudden clarity.
Because before, he had unconsciously fallen into the mindset of his previous life!
He always felt that Little Phoenix was just a ten-year-old child who needed more care, needlessly adding some inexplicable responsibility to himself.
But this is the Marvel Universe; these children cannot be viewed with common sense at all!
After all, in the comics, Franklin Richards, the child of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, possessed powerful Multiverse-level strength at just a few years old.
Creating Universes with his bare hands was not a difficult task for him.
He even frequently worked with Eternity, the Multiverse's embodied entity, to repair damaged Multiverses.
Thinking of this, Shen Mu wondered if Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman in this Universe would give birth to an equally heaven-defying child; this was something to look forward to.
As Shen Mu thought, he felt his thoughts drifting!
"Alright, since Little Phoenix is such a genius, she should have a genius's training method."
With that, Shen Mu took out a crimson crystal, which was a accumulated sun god crystal.
At this moment, Shen Mu was preparing to engrave all the magic books recorded in his super brain into this sun god crystal.
Then, Little Phoenix would only need to inject her mental power into this sun god crystal to freely access any magic knowledge.
Speaking of which, ever since Shen Mu engraved the Rune Magic array of the sun disc onto his body, the sun disc had been idle!
This thing was too conspicuous to be left on Earth!
After all, many eyes were watching Earth, and an altar capable of condensing Sun God Power would surely attract the attention of some entities!
Although Shen Mu was not afraid of challenges, it was always a troublesome matter, so to reduce trouble, he simply threw it into the system space.
This time, after returning to the Elven Kingdom, Shen Mu directly left the sun disc here.
Then he instructed the elves to collect the condensed sun god crystal.
After half a month, Shen Mu finally categorized and engraved all the magic knowledge he knew.
He even made a special trip back to Asgard to perfect it.
However, Thor and the others were not there; Heimdall said they were on a mission!
Now, this small sun god crystal contains Asgardian magic, Vanir magic, Elven magic, magic from the Earth's Sorcerer Supreme lineage, and some Rune Magic that Shen Mu specifically added.
"Hmm, it doesn't seem very aesthetically pleasing to give it to Little Phoenix like this; that little one might not like it."
When Shen Mu was about to give this crystal, which contained countless magical knowledge, to Little Phoenix, he suddenly saw its appearance.
Even with his limited aesthetic sense, he found the crude sun god crystal would definitely not appeal to a child.
Therefore, Shen Mu used his telekinesis to manipulate the Sun God Power to reshape the sun god crystal until it became a regular jade-like shape.
Then he pulled off one of his dragon scales, melted it with his heat vision, and then used telekinesis to shape it into a necklace, finally inlaying the sun god crystal into it.
"Hmm, it looks much better this way!"
Shen Mu looked at the final product and nodded with satisfaction.
