In the Multiverse, some time had passed since the last rampage of the Phoenix Force.
The fragments of the Phoenix Force, scattered throughout various Universes, began to spontaneously gravitate towards the Universe where Kytheron resided, or rather, towards the Ion Shark within the Green Lantern Central Power Battery.
"Teacher, could you give me a Green Lantern Ring?"
Jean asked Kytheron for a Lantern Ring.
Of course, Kytheron knew that it wasn't Jean who wanted the Ring, but the Phoenix within her, and Kytheron didn't mind it in the slightest.
"Take it, just make sure that guy inside you doesn't go too far!"
Kytheron casually reached out, and a Green Lantern Ring materialized out of thin air, which he then handed to Jean.
"Thank you, Teacher!"
Jean smiled and thanked Kytheron. The moment she took the Ring, the Phoenix within her began to stir excitedly.
Although it craved the Ion Shark, after being disciplined by Kytheron once, the Phoenix within Jean dared not directly target the Ion Shark. It could only achieve a temporary satisfaction, like drinking poison to quench thirst, through a medium like the Green Lantern Ring.
If the Phoenix were likened to a cat, then the existence of the Ion Shark was like catnip; the attraction was fatal.
"Jean, prepare yourself well, a great opportunity belonging to you is about to arrive!"
Although the current Kytheron was not omniscient or omnipotent, he could still perceive certain events happening within the scope of the Multiverse.
Soon, most of the Phoenix hosts in the Multiverse would gather on Apokolips, and a chaotic battle was sure to ensue.
Because Phoenixes do not live in peace with each other; fragmented Phoenixes instinctively desire to devour other fragments to make themselves more complete.
And as long as a Phoenix host dies, the Phoenix Force within them will naturally flow to another Phoenix host closest to them.
"Teacher, what kind of opportunity is it?"
Although Jean had experienced the Phoenix rampage, it was instantly suppressed by Kytheron at the time, so she didn't have much of a feeling about it.
"You'll know when the time comes!"
Kytheron merely smiled at this. At this moment, he also experienced the joy of being a riddler.
That is, I know, you want to know, but I just won't tell you, making your heart itch as if being scratched.
Jean wanted to act spoiled and hug Kytheron like she did when she was a child, but it was clear that she was no longer suitable for such behavior. In the end, she could only return to Earth with a helpless expression!
...
In the depths of space, on a desolate Planet, two figures engulfed in Phoenix flames were battling.
One of the figures was a woman with an Eastern face, and her battle attire bore a Dragon lines on her chest.
This woman was Wu Fengji, the strongest Iron Fist who flew from Earth into the Universe centuries ago. She harbored both the Dragon Force and the Phoenix Force.
The last time the Phoenix Force descended upon Earth, threatening to destroy everything, the ruler of Kunlun, the Jade Emperor, had a prophetic dream. In the dream, a red-haired girl with a Dragon lines would become the Phoenix host and end the disaster.
So, the Jade Emperor found a young Wu Fengji according to the dream and arranged for Lei Gong to train her to become the new generation of Iron Fist to combat the Phoenix.
Because in that prophetic dream, he saw two outcomes: one where Fengji perfectly merged with the Phoenix, and another where she was completely devoured by the Phoenix.
If she became Iron Fist and mastered the Dragon Force, it would at least give her the confidence to contend with the Phoenix.
When the Phoenix Force descended upon Earth, Wu Fengji, armed with the Dragon Force, confronted the Phoenix. With overwhelming power, she shattered the Phoenix, which had no host at the time, with a single punch.
However, to prevent the Phoenix Force from harming Earth, Wu Fengji chose to voluntarily merge with the Phoenix and then flew into the depths of space to explore other Worlds.
This also made Wu Fengji one of only three White Phoenixes in the Marvel Universe, meaning she could fully control the Phoenix Force within her.
Although there was still the White Phoenix of the Crown, a form that could easily control the energy of other Phoenix fragments, that form had only appeared once, and it was Jean who transformed into it.
Wu Fengji, who had been cultivating diligently in the Universe, also experienced a Phoenix Force rampage not long ago, but she suppressed it with her own strength!
And just a few days later, another Phoenix host, also possessing the Phoenix Force, broke through space and appeared before her, then attacked her without a word.
"Stop, why are you attacking me!"
Adhering to the principle of courtesy before force, Wu Fengji had not yet considered killing this fellow Phoenix host, so she only passively defended during the battle.
Taking advantage of this pause, she questioned the Phoenix host.
However, the other party showed no intention of answering her question, merely unleashing the terrifying Phoenix energy within them wantonly.
That was a Phoenix host from another Universe, now completely controlled by the Phoenix, having become the Dark Phoenix, long since devoid of reason. Now, it only desired to eliminate Wu Fengji and devour the Phoenix Force within her.
"Since you won't speak, then don't blame me for being impolite!"
Seeing that polite communication was useless, Wu Fengji no longer held back.
She clenched her right fist, and a phantom Divine Dragon appeared behind her, its roar echoing through the heavens and Earth. Immediately after, a blazing Phoenix appeared beside the Divine Dragon, its sharp cry shaking the nine heavens.
After centuries of cultivation, this former strongest Iron Fist of Kunlun had long integrated the Dragon Force and Phoenix Force within her.
With a single punch, she turned the Phoenix host who had lost their self-awareness into dust.
The Phoenix Force within them, the moment it lost its host, flowed towards Wu Fengji.
At this moment, the Phoenix within Wu Fengji was excited. It directly manifested, swallowed it in one gulp, and then returned to its host's body.
"My power has grown stronger again!"
"But what exactly is that thing attracting the Phoenix? It seems I must go and see!"
With that, Wu Fengji flew towards Apokolips, enveloped in golden flames, like a meteor streaking across the cosmic void.
Over hundreds of years, relying on the Phoenix Force and Dragon Force, Wu Fengji showed no signs of aging, but the loss of vitality was real.
This was the consequence of having power but being unable to evolve one's life level; unable to achieve immortality, one would eventually be buried in the long river of time.
"I didn't expect you to be the first to taste the crab!"
Kytheron also sensed Wu Fengji's arrival. The Phoenix Force within her was like a brightly lit mobile antenna, constantly emitting a fiery signal.
"Oh, when did such a prosperous Planet appear in this place!"
Flying above Apokolips, Wu Fengji said with some surprise.
She remembered that when she traveled through this part of space centuries ago, it was not like this. Now, it had undergone a massive change in a short period.
As she pondered, a spark of Fire from Apokolips below shot directly towards her. It was Fireman John, who had received Kytheron's command.
