Jean Grey suppressed the strange emotions in her heart and explained: "Mr. Samuel, we are all the Professor's students. The person Storm respects the most is the Professor, so... this is a misunderstanding, please put her down."
Whether it's a misunderstanding or not is not important; what's important is that Storm's ability has been acquired. Now it's Your turn...
The ability to Control Weather made Ororo Monroe the famous Storm, but this ability is just so-so in Samuel's eyes. It might not even rank in the top five... no, top ten.
Jean Grey is different. She herself possesses Mind Control and Mind Manipulation Ability. Besides that, she also possesses the Phoenix Force, one of the three great forces.
The Phoenix Force is definitely a Multiverse-level power. It is the embodiment of life and Mind Power, symbolizing life and emotion.
It is the connection point of the mental minds of all things that exist or will exist in the infinite Multiverse, the creator and source of mental power.
It is the storage container and ruler of the life and emotional energy of future generations throughout the entire infinite Multiverse.
It can create and manipulate the coordinates of spatial dimensions and any coordinate on the timeline, thereby traveling back and forth to any point in spacetime.
It can also destroy and delete any spacetime coordinate on the timeline and spatial dimensions. It can completely delete a certain or certain parallel Universes within a certain dimension.
From a certain perspective, the Phoenix Force is like the Speed Force next door. Every Speedster possesses the Speed Force, but they are a part of the Speed Force and do not represent the Speed Force.
Jean Grey is the same. She possesses the Phoenix Force, but only a part of the Phoenix Force, and cannot fully control or use the Phoenix Force.
Uh, let alone fully, she probably can't even use it normally, only struggling to suppress it until she can't anymore, and then, bang, a Black Phoenix is directly created!
There have been many hosts of the Phoenix Force, including the more well-known ones: Red Queen, White Queen, Cyclops, Magik, Colossus, Namo, Hope Summers, Wolverine, Doppelganger Cuckoos, and so on.
Of course, the most famous is still Jean Grey, after all, among so many hosts, only she could be named after the Phoenix, earning the nickname Phoenix Jean!
Samuel released Storm and waved his hand casually.
Before the landed Storm could even get up, she felt an invisible force toss her away.
"Bang!"
Storm hit the wall, not too hard, staring at Samuel with a face full of anger.
This bastard!
He actually swept me aside like garbage, am I that unwelcome to You?!
"You, are very special!"
Samuel flashed in front of Jean Grey. The close distance made Jean Grey instinctively hold her breath, nervously and awkwardly taking half a step back.
His scorching gaze seemed to see through her completely, inside and out. That feeling of being seen through without any cover made her unnaturally want to dodge, and she said softly: "I, I'm not special at all."
Samuel slowly reached out and pinched her chin, gently lifting it. Jean Grey, momentarily stunned, didn't resist, but instead looked a little timid and didn't dare to meet his gaze.
Is this still Jean Grey? This is clearly a shy girl!
Although her personality had always been gentle, Storm had never seen her act like such a little girl after knowing her for so long.
Samuel looked at her, Mind Power surged in, and after a moment, he shook his head slightly: "No, you are very special, you possess the Phoenix Force."
"You, you still have Mind Manipulation Ability?" Jean Grey was first startled, then reacted, and asked quickly: "The Phoenix Force you mentioned is that evil power within me?"
Samuel smiled dismissively: "The Phoenix Force is not an evil power, it is the embodiment of life and Mind Power in the Multiverse, symbolizing life and emotion."
"You feel it is evil because you are too weak to bear its power, and at the same time, you have been resisting it, thinking it is evil, which is why you feel it is evil."
Is that so...
Jean Grey was uncertain, but there was one thing she was certain of, and that was that this Phoenix Force had a huge impact on her life.
It caused her to wake up from nightmares on countless nights, afraid to sleep soundly, afraid to interact with people with peace of mind, being cautious every day, full of worries, fearing that it would lose control and harm others!
"Can you take it away?" Jean Grey asked hopefully.
Samuel shook his head: "Yes, and no! Even if I take away the Phoenix Force within you, fragments of the Phoenix Force will still remain in your body, and one day, you will possess it again."
Jean Grey's expression darkened, then she thought of something and asked again expectantly: "Then can you help me control it?"
"Yes." Samuel released her chin and asked with a smile: "But why should I help you?"
Without any reason, why would someone help you?
Jean Grey wanted to speak but stopped, unable to say anything.
Storm got up and walked over, taking responsibility and asking Samuel: "What are your conditions? Just say them."
Samuel looked at her and said with a half-smile: "If you stay here to accompany me, I will help her."
Storm instantly glared at him: "You wish!"
"So you don't agree? Then... goodbye!" Samuel waved his hand lazily, and with two whooshing sounds, Storm and Jean Grey instantly disappeared from the room.
...
"Ding!"
"Detected battle, dropped reward: Mind Control (Jean Grey)"
The sound of the dropped reward rang out. This was the second ability he had brushed off Jean Grey. When he used Mind Power on Jean Grey just now, he had already brushed out an ability, and it was the ability he wanted most - Phoenix Force!
It was precisely because of this that he didn't hesitate to teleport Jean Grey and Storm away, otherwise, he would definitely have stayed for a while to brush out the Phoenix Force first.
Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters, also known as X-Academy.
Jean Grey and Storm stared at each other blankly for a few seconds. Storm bit her silver teeth and said bitterly: "This bastard, how... how did he do it!"
"It should be some kind of invisible teleportation ability, he has many abilities, more than just a few! Let's go find Professor first, since he let us go, I'm afraid he won't let Magneto off easily." Jean Grey said.
The two found Professor and explained the situation.
Although they had only dealt with him once, the name Samuel and the person himself were not unfamiliar to Professor, in fact, they were still fresh in his memory.
After all, Big Raven, who had a deep bond with himself and Magneto, was rescued by him back then and even followed him.
After disappearing for twenty years, he finally reappeared.
"Go to the Cerebro Room."
Jean Grey and Storm pushed Professor to the Cerebro Room. On the way, Professor talked about the grudges and favors with Samuel twenty years ago.
