The Magneto was, of course, Mystique in disguise. While she used containers to block Jean, she controlled a dagger to stab Professor Charles in the chest.
Professor Charles let out a scream, but he did not stop his psychic power, continuing to explore Magneto's secret. His intuition told him that the secret was very important.
"Professor!"
Seeing the Professor severely injured, Jean was both anxious and furious. A powerful telekinetic force erupted from her, twisting and deforming all the flying containers, which crashed to the ground.
"Charles, don't blame me. This is all for the Mutant."
Mystique placed her hand on the Professor's shoulder, preparing to replicate his genes.
At this moment, Professor Charles finally broke through Magneto's psychic defense and learned of his and Raven's plan. His expression immediately changed drastically.
"I will never allow you to eliminate ordinary people."
A resolute glint flashed in Professor Charles's eyes. He prepared to pour all his mental energy into Mystique's mind, intending to perish with her.
"Wow, old man, do you have to be so unyielding? Hmm, wait, this old guy seems to be able to possess others and be reborn?"
Andrew thought for a moment and pulled the enraged Jean into an illusion. Jean was startled when she saw her surroundings change, and what surprised her even more was that another her stood beside her—a her filled with tyrannical aura and extraordinary power.
Black Phoenix was overjoyed to see Jean's consciousness and immediately wanted to burn her to death. Just then, the humanoid flame Andrew appeared, trapping her in place.
Then, Andrew said to Jean, "Let me introduce you, this is Black Phoenix, your inner personality."
Jean was dumbfounded. How did she not know she had an inner personality?
"It all started when you were little..."
Andrew briefly explained the situation, then he continued, "The reason your telekinetic power has been constantly surging is because of her. If you want to save the Professor, you must borrow her power. By yourself, you can't defeat Magneto."
Black Phoenix shouted, "I won't lend her power! It's best if that old bald man dies."
Jean was a bit confused. She had never known her past was so complicated. She asked, "Who are you?"
"Who I am, you will know in the future."
Andrew smiled slightly and said, "Jean, you must merge with Black Phoenix, otherwise the Professor will surely die. Black Phoenix, you've always wanted to go outside, this is your chance. If Jean cannot suppress you, you will gain complete freedom."
Black Phoenix's eyes lit up, while Jean was somewhat hesitant: "Her power is terrifying. If she's unleashed, many people will die."
Andrew said, "You make your own choice, I won't force you. By the way, the Professor is preparing to perish with Mystique."
"The Professor cannot die."
Jean gritted her teeth and said, "I'll merge with her."
After speaking, Jean raised her hand towards Black Phoenix. Black Phoenix snorted coldly, grabbed Jean's hand, and the next second, the two consciousnesses merged into one.
Andrew smiled with satisfaction. In this world, once there's a first time, there will surely be a second.
At the dock, Jean's eyes suddenly turned completely black. Immediately after, she floated up from the ground. Everyone in the dock area simultaneously felt a chill in their hearts, as if some terrifying entity had descended, and Mystique was no exception.
"What's going on?"
Mystique looked astonished. Professor Charles and Magneto's expressions changed drastically at the same time. The strongest Mutant had appeared.
At this moment, Jean let out a loud roar, and flames surged wildly from her, forming a lifelike phoenix behind her.
Immediately after, Jean aimed her left and right hands at Mystique and Magneto respectively. Their clothes, skin, muscles, bones... rapidly disappeared.
Magneto controlled the surrounding steel to protect himself, but as soon as the steel approached him, it was immediately disintegrated, completely useless.
Mystique tried to transform into the Professor, but it was completely too late. She gave a bitter smile, knowing she was doomed.
"How unwilling! I was only one step away."
Mystique sighed, her body completely disintegrated, ceasing to exist.
Magneto gave a tragic smile, silently spoke a sentence to Professor Charles, and then completely vanished.
Andrew lightly tapped his finger, collecting Mystique's and Magneto's souls before they disintegrated. Those were properties of Rebirth Hell.
"Raven, Erik."
Professor Charles's old tears flowed freely. At this moment, Jean began to lose control of herself. She roared to the sky, and the surrounding containers, as well as the ground below, rapidly disintegrated and disappeared.
Not only the dock area, but everyone in the entire New York felt a sense of impending doom.
"Run!"
The Mutant' expressions changed drastically, and they hastily fled into the distance. Professor Charles quickly poured his psychic power into Jean's consciousness, then he shouted to Jean, "Jean, you must lock her back up, otherwise the entire New York will be reduced to nothingness."
"Professor, help me."
"Old man, I want you to die."
Two completely different consciousnesses appeared simultaneously. Professor Charles repaired the psychic cage, wanting to lock Black Phoenix back in, and Jean tried her best to help.
Black Phoenix couldn't defeat Jean and Professor Charles working together. She shrieked hysterically, "I won't let you go! I will destroy you, destroy the world!"
Although Black Phoenix was full of unwillingness, she was ultimately locked back into her cage. Jean fell from the sky, landing in the large pit she herself had disintegrated.
"Jean!"
Wolverine and Cyclops simultaneously ran towards Jean, while Storm flew down to check on Professor Charles's condition.
Professor Charles said weakly, "Deal with the remaining Mutant. Don't kill them, enough people have died tonight."
The X-Men complied. The Brotherhood of Mutants were terrified by Black Phoenix and dared not fight further, fleeing in all directions. Sabretooth, before leaving, shouted to Wolverine, "Jimmy, I'll be back for you!"
It wasn't just the Brotherhood of Mutants who were terrified by Black Phoenix; Nick Fury was also drenched in sweat. That scene just now was too terrifying.
"The Mutant actually hid such a trump card. Professor, you hide deeper than anyone."
Nick Fury sighed, thinking that he must persuade those fools in the government not to continue provoking the Mutant.
At the same time, he needed to find a way to deal with Jean, lest she lose control and destroy the world one day.
In any case, this battle could almost be declared over. Andrew snapped his fingers and released the eager Hulk from Hell.
On the street, Abomination pulled out the arrow in his body and threw it back at Hawkeye on the building. Hawkeye nimbly dodged. Abomination was about to kill the guy when Dr. Banner rushed over and tackled him to the ground.
"This bastard."
Abomination was greatly enraged. Dr. Banner's combat ability wasn't great, but he was annoyingly unkillable.
Bang! Dr. Banner was once again sent flying by Abomination. Abomination was about to jump up and stomp this guy to death when, at that moment, a heavy footsteps sounded. Everyone turned and saw Hulk walking over, carrying a large hammer and looking fierce.
Hulk and Dr. Banner looked alike, but no one would mistake them. Their temperaments were completely different.
