Chapter 44: Dark Phoenix
Andrew could have stopped Professor Charles, but he didn't. He masked his true identity with flames and personally greeted him, saying, "Professor Charles, did you come to see me?"
"May I ask if you're the one who turned those mutants back into ordinary people?"
While asking, Professor Charles cautiously probed Andrew's mind, but he sensed nothing.
"Don't probe into me, or you'll die. In fact, if I hadn't suppressed my instinct to retaliate, you would be a vegetative by now."
Andrew said, "I can tell you the truth and let you keep this memory, but you must sign a contract with me, promising to never reveal this matter. Otherwise, I will take your soul."
As Andrew spoke, a contract appeared in front of Professor Charles. After reading it, he hesitated for a moment and chose to sign the contract.
Professor Charles had to clarify this matter, and moreover, the contract was not too stringent.
After Professor Charles signed the contract, Andrew said, "I am the Lord of Hell. I made a deal with those mutants. They give me their souls after death, and in return, I help them become ordinary people again."
"The Lord of Hell, soul transactions?"
Professor Charles was stunned. He had speculated on many truths, but he never expected the truth to be so unscientific and outrageous.
"If i am not the Lord of Hell. How could I turn so many mutants back into ordinary people?"
Andrew said, "Professor, this is a fair trade of mutual consent, without any conspiracy."
Professor Charles said, "The souls of humans should belong to God."
"No, the souls of most people only end up in hell. In fact, entering my hell is much happier than entering other hells. My hell is the best-certified hell recognized by Kamar Taj."
Andrew said, "Professor Charles, would you like to reserve a house in my hell? It might appreciate in value in the future."
"I'm not good at investing. I lose as much as I invest. Fortunately, I inherited a lot of wealth."
Charles, a prodigal son and heir, chuckled self-mockingly. Then he asked, "Mr. Demon ord, is this matter without human involvement, without conspiracy, right?"
Andrew said, "There is definitely no conspiracy, but there is human involvement in this matter."
Professor Charles was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Andrew smiled and said, "The next part is premium content. If you want to listen, please recharge first."
Professor Charles was dumbfounded. He was about to say something when Andrew waved his hand and sent him out of the illusion. "I'm sorry, the recharging system is not available at the moment. Professor, remember this symbol. If you ever want to sell your soul, call me immediately."
As Andrew spoke, the flames on him transformed into a blazing phoenix, the symbol of the Rebirth Hell. Professor Charles subconsciously engraved it in his memory.
"A soul with great spiritual potential."
A greedy glint flashed in Andrew's eyes. The professor's soul was exceptionally pure and invaluable. If he ascended to heaven, even the Archangel himself would personally come to greet him.
While chatting with Professor Charles, Andrew's other consciousness was receiving Phoenix, worth mentioning Rouge didn't come over, probably convinced by the professor.
Andrew looked at the fierce and fierce Dark Phoenix in front of him and smiled, "Phoenix, or should I say, Dark Phoenix, I've been wanting to meet you for a long time."
Jean Grey, the Phoenix, had two personalities: one was well-mannered and ladylike, while the other possessed the power of the Phoenix and was filled with violence. The latter personality had been suppressed by the professor's telepathy and had "never seen the light of day."
It was the violent Dark Phoenix, not the well-mannered personality, that was brought into the illusion by Andrew.
"Can you break the old man's suppression?"
Dark Phoenix said excitedly, "Release me quickly, I want to destroy this world."
Andrew asked, "Why do you want to destroy this beautiful world?"
"Because I hate this world, I want to destroy everything."
Dark Phoenix roared ferociously. Being locked up for so many years, combined with the influence of the Phoenix power, she had long lost her sanity and became like a madman.
Andrew shook his head. "That won't do. I haven't enjoyed this world yet, and I can't let you destroy it. Besides, you don't represent Jean Grey, so the contract you signed is invalid."
"If you don't release me, I will kill you."
Dark Phoenix angrily threatened, gathering a pitch-black flame and fiercely attacking Andrew. Andrew flew backward, and the flame hit a stone sculpture, instantly disintegrating it.
That was the power of the Phoenix, capable of disintegrating everything. However, Dark Phoenix had not yet possessed Jean's body, so her power was relatively weak—her strength in the illusion was equivalent to her real-life strength.
"Just with you, you can't kill me."
Andrew smiled, provoking Dark Phoenix's growing anger. She chased after Andrew and launched attacks in the illusion. Andrew did not hold back either, fighting her on an equal footing within the illusion. However, he deliberately restrained himself and maintained a level comparable to Dark Phoenix.
What was Andrew trying to do?
It was simple. He would accompany Dark Phoenix in battle, play with her, chat with her, allowing her to release the pent-up resentment of decades. In this way, she would gradually change and not constantly think about destroying the world.
Of course, in addition to saving the Earth, Andrew had another goal: to flirt with women.
For someone who had been lonely for decades, suddenly having someone to fight, play, and chat with, it was difficult not to fall in love with each other.
Once he successfully won over Dark Phoenix, Andrew would find a way to merge her with Jean Grey. By then, Jean Grey would completely belong to him. This was called overtaking on a bend.
After six hours in the illusion, a weary Dark Phoenix sat on the ground and angrily said to Andrew, "I will kill you for sure."
"Sorry, I don't like being killed. I only like killing others."
Andrew smiled and said, "Alright, let's stop here for today. We'll meet again next time."
After saying that, Andrew waved his hand and sent Dark Phoenix out of the illusion.
At this moment, only six seconds had passed in reality. A group of mutants who had turned back into ordinary people were in tears of joy. Simultaneously, a group of popular video bloggers were frantically recording videos, embellished with words like "miracle."
Storm couldn't help but ask when she saw the mutants return to normal, "Professor, did you notice anything?"
Professor Charles sighed, "I was about to discover the truth, but I was kicked offline because I didn't have money to recharge."
Storm looked confused. What did that mean? Moreover, aren't you the strongest prodigal son? Why don't you have money? Did you finally squander your fortune?
Professor Charles didn't explain further. At this moment, he noticed that Jean seemed somewhat absent-minded, so he asked with concern, "Jean, what's wrong?"
Jean said, "I don't know why, but I feel much lighter and a little happy."
Storm said, "It's probably because Logan isn't here. That guy keeps pestering you even though he knows you have a boyfriend."
