Reborn with Steve Stand-Chapter 692: Dark Phoenix Sealed
Chapter 692: Dark Phoenix Sealed
"... Nani?"
Upon hearing the prompt sound from the system, Fang Mo felt a bit puzzled.
If the Dark Phoenix could unlock a new module, he would have done it after stabbing her twice already. It would have been unlocked long ago and not delayed until now. Clearly, this new module prompt wasn't triggered by her but by something else.
After thinking about it for a moment, Fang Mo's gaze quickly fell on Laevatein.
Just after blocking the Phoenix's attack, part of Laevatein's blade seemed to change. The orange-red metal melted and cooled, eventually turning into a dazzling gold akin to the sun.
As Fang Mo's usual weapon, Laevatein's current state was somewhat unusual.
After all, these weapons were brought out by Fang Mo from the MC world and then materialized into divine artifacts in reality, carrying many inexplicable features.
For instance, the 'Unbreaking' enchantment.
Normally, these divine artifacts in Fang Mo's hands are unbreakable. This is a conceptual level of indestructibility. Suppose an iron sword was melted into a puddle of iron by Dormammu's magical flames and then solidified into an iron cake, it would still revert to its original form as an iron sword in the next second.
However, after bearing the Phoenix Force's attack, Laevatein did not revert to its original state.
"Hmmm..."
Fang Mo stared at the blade and pondered for a moment. It was clear that the trigger for the module prompt was this thing. Although he didn't understand the principle, the module had to be unlocked.
Thinking of this, Fang Mo reached out and touched the blade.
In the next second, the system notification sounded directly.
[System Notification: Having researched concepts such as 'Gallium,' 'Fusion,' 'Angler Fish Teeth,' 'Penguin,' 'Iron Tree,' and 'Solar Steel,' you have gained permission to download a new module.]
[System Notification: Downloading more Tinkers' Construct material modules.]
"Oh, so it's this module."
Upon hearing the system notification, Fang Mo scratched his head: "It's been so long, I almost forgot about it..."
Indeed, for this module, Fang Mo hadn't just started unlocking it today.
He remembered that it was first triggered randomly in the Marvel world, in Stark's lab, where he first discovered Gallium and Fusion.
But that was a long time ago.
Even Fang Mo himself had almost forgotten about this module.
Of course, this was unavoidable since Fang Mo's new module unlock criteria were quite strange. Some modules could be unlocked directly, while others were more troublesome, requiring a progress bar and the touch of many different things.
Many modules got stuck at a certain progress.
Initially, Fang Mo was frustrated, but as more and more modules got stuck, he got used to it and simply gave up trying, hoping one day he'd get lucky.
And facts proved Fang Mo's mindset correct.
Because today, a module that had been stuck for who knows how long was finally successfully unlocked.
[System Notification: More Tinkers' Construct material modules downloaded, load now?]
[System Notification: More Tinkers' Construct material modules loaded successfully.]
[System Notification: Since you downloaded and ran a new module, you received a lucky block, which will randomly select an item from any known module.]
"More Tinkers' Construct materials, huh..."
Hearing this, Fang Mo subconsciously tried to recall this module.
However, his distraction during the battle unexpectedly angered the nearby Dark Phoenix. Having been trapped in the mental cage for a while, the Dark Phoenix already seemed somewhat insane. At this moment, she probably felt Fang Mo was looking down on her and launched another attack.
Her fiery Phoenix wings suddenly spread out, and several beams of light shot towards Fang Mo.
"Again?"
Seeing the Dark Phoenix suddenly attacking, Fang Mo temporarily set aside his impulse to consult the Tinkers' Construct manual and pointed at her.
A bright white beam also shot out, colliding with the Phoenix Force in mid-air. In an instant, the entire dim sky was illuminated, the deafening explosion continued, and the violent energy aftermath poured everywhere.
"Hmm, quite powerful... but not much."
Feeling the explosions around him, Fang Mo rubbed his chin and commented.
I must say, after truly awakening, Dark Phoenix's attack power is quite strong and can easily harm herself.
Speaking of attack power,
It feels like it can almost match that of normal Boros.
But as mentioned before, there's a common problem with the mutants in the X-Men world: high attack but low defense. Most mutants' physiques are not much different from ordinary people; they really shatter upon impact.
Moreover, when Fang Mo says she can match Boros, he is only referring to attack power, or simply the fact that she can harm herself. Boros's combat skills are top-notch in the universe, to the point that even a blown-up heart wouldn't affect his punching speed.
On the other hand, Dark Phoenix can only go into hysterics and uncontrolled rage, with her sole attack being telekinetic disintegration or smashing people, which isn't even as good as the boxers owned by Hulk.
"Then, let's be a bit more serious."
Fang Mo looked up at Dark Phoenix and slightly squinted his eyes.
The next second, a beacon in the storage space was activated, and a white light suddenly shone on him. A terrifying aura surged, causing Dark Phoenix's face to change dramatically.
Although the Phoenix Force gave her immense confidence,
At this moment, the sense of foreboding still made her subconsciously feel a certain emotion, which, although she didn't want to admit it, she knew was fear.
So, she quickly started controlling the surrounding energy to protect herself.
But this time, it was too late.
Fang Mo's speed had already exceeded her reaction limit.
Before Dark Phoenix could react, Fang Mo had already ghostly appeared in front of her.
"Gravitational Collapse Fist."
Without any nonsense, Fang Mo raised his fist to punch the woman. Accompanied by the eerie light of the void ring, his fist instantly twisted into a pitch-black void, flickering with terrifying purple arcs, and he aimed a diving punch at Dark Phoenix's abdomen.
Dark Phoenix's gold-black pupils shrank suddenly.
Almost instinctively, she gathered all her energy at her abdomen.
The next second, with a 'thud' sound, her body seemed to bend like it was about to break, exaggeratedly forming a U-shape, flying backward like a shrimp, with blood spewing from her mouth.
But just as she was flying backward,
Fang Mo lifted his head and instantly teleported, reappearing beside Dark Phoenix.
This time, he drew out a giant pure white sword, seemingly forged from pure light without any warmth, and slashed straight down at Dark Phoenix.
"!"
Dark Phoenix, still dazed from the punch, was too late to react. She could only hastily gather energy to block, but it was futile. The stream of light easily tore through her energy barrier.
The next moment, the blade cut down from her left shoulder to her right hip, slicing her entire body diagonally in half.
Dark Phoenix felt an intense pain.
The next second, blood and chunks of flesh and viscera started spraying everywhere.
"No!!!"
Dark Phoenix screamed as all her energy surged to repair her body. The two halves of her body quickly sprouted granulation, forcibly pulling her body back together, wriggling and regenerating rapidly.
To avoid imminent death,
Dark Phoenix focused all her energy on her wounds.
Yet, at this critical moment, she sensed an unprecedented danger.
Instinctively looking up, she saw the tip of a dark green sword rapidly enlarging in her vision, but it was too late to gather energy.
"Checkmate."
With Fang Mo's calm words, the new Ender Sword pierced through Dark Phoenix's forehead, emerging from the back of her head, skewering her head completely, causing her to slump backward heavily.
"Ugh… no…"
Dark Phoenix's body stiffened.
She wanted to struggle, but not everyone can survive without a brain like Fang Mo.
Even though she was the host of the Phoenix Force, she was still human, so her consciousness quickly faded.
At the same time, the Ender Sword's special effect began to activate.
The space around Dark Phoenix's forehead, where the sword had pierced, started to warp.
Immediately, it quickly transformed into a vortex, pulling on the Dark Phoenix's body, causing her to change shape like dough, and ultimately she was directly absorbed into it.
After absorbing, or rather sealing, the Dark Phoenix, the appearance of the Ender Greatsword also underwent a dramatic change.
The originally simple and rugged exterior began to look refined, with the overall color scheme changing from dark green to gold and red.
Above the sword blade, which shone as brilliantly as the sun, was a pair of wing-shaped guards. These wings were not made of metal but seemed more like an energy form, akin to continuously burning flames, surrounding the blade and making its brilliance circulate within.
After briefly admiring it, Fang Mo held the sword hilt and felt the sword's attributes.
After experiencing it, Fang Mo found that the sword's characteristics were indeed straightforward and forceful, primarily telekinesis combined with the power of the Phoenix.
Unfortunately, the sword's appearance was quite fantastical, resembling something out of a myth. It would have been perfect if it looked like a lightsaber, allowing him to cosplay a Jedi Master and use the Force Choke.
"Well…"
Thinking of this, Fang Mo tried to swing the sword.
As he swung, a surge of Phoenix Force erupted, transforming into a majestic sword energy that flew towards a nearby mountain.
Contrary to the imagined scene of the mountain splitting in two, upon impact, the entire mountain began to collapse as if decomposed by some force. First, countless fiery patterns appeared on the mountain like a spiderweb, then it started to crumble, weather, and finally turned into a sky full of dust.
"The power is quite acceptable."
Seeing this scene, Fang Mo instinctively nodded. This thing was indeed adequate as a toy.
Yes, a toy.
One must know that the weapons in Fang Mo's hands usually possessed world-ending traits.
Compared to that, the Phoenix Sword seemed rather lacking. Even Laevatein could slowly burn into a glass sphere, so it could only be called a toy.
However, it was just a small fragment of the Phoenix's energy, not the full Phoenix Force, so it was understandable that it was weaker.
Moreover, Fang Mo didn't intend to take this thing with him.
After all, he had promised Charles earlier to seal this thing in the toilet as the God Phoenix.
Although Fang Mo often spouted nonsense, he was always serious about his actions. So, he was definitely going to put this thing back in the toilet.
But as for how to use it once it was in the toilet...
Fang Mo wasn't quite sure.
However, if he remembered correctly, the Dark Phoenix could absorb other mutants. Like in the original story, it absorbed Cyclops, Scott. Although he didn't know why, Scott indeed died.
So, maybe it could become the new trump card of X Academy.
With the amplification of the golden toilet and the Phoenix Force, Charles's telepathy might even reach across planets, paving the way for humanity to explore the stars. They might as well call it the Star Torch.
If the Dark Phoenix's energy ran low, they could capture a couple of mutants and throw them in as fuel to replenish its energy.
"Decided, let's do it." ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Thinking of this, Fang Mo couldn't help but laugh. The next second, he teleported back to X Academy with a thought, planning to brief Charles on how to use it.
As the dark green light flashed, Fang Mo returned to Charles's bathroom.
He looked around and soon saw Charles standing nearby. He seemed to have just finished his business and was lost in thought with a sullen face. Noticing Fang Mo's return, Charles turned to look.
"What the heck, you're standing?"
Fang Mo was clearly surprised: "Your legs are healed?"
"What is that in your hand?" Charles, however, did not explain but instead noticed the Ender Greatsword in Fang Mo's hand.
"Oh, this? This is the Phoenix Legend,"
Fang Mo replied.
