12 The rampaging Phoenix

In the instant that Jean turned her head, numerous lasers had already been fired by the group of mutants in front of her.

Lynn waved one hand forward.

All the square lightning bolts behind him flew forward, hitting the lasers fired by the other party with perfect accuracy.

Several explosions occurred, causing a lot of smoke in the park. Just in case, Lynn created a purple electro-shield around Jean.

Jean, who saw herself enveloped in the purple shield, couldn't help but open her mouth.

"Lynn! Let me out, let me help you!"

"Just wait here Jean, it'll only take a moment."

"But you..."

Without waiting for Jean to finish her words, Lynn turned into a purple lightning bolt and disappeared.

Jean bit her lip, she felt so useless.

Looking at her hand that was still covered in cosmic flames.

She muttered:

"If only I could control this fire... I can help Lynn."

There was always an urge to destroy everything whenever she wanted to use the hidden power inside her.

Even now, just from using it a little, she could feel her consciousness eroding.

She didn't realize it, but right now her eyes were even glowing with red light.

On the other side.

The evil mutants sent by Jason panicked. They were about to continue shooting, but a purple flash suddenly appeared like a shadowy figure and slashed them with lightning.

In no time at all the evil mutants with physical power and endurance that surpassed humans were struck by lightning until their bodies turned to ashes under the moonlight.

Many of them were struck by lightning, only one evil mutant remained. His name was Jon, a mutant with the ability to shape-shift into a werewolf.

It was Jon who saw the horrific scene where his comrades were struck by purple lightning and turned to ash.

He chose to retreat of course!

Fortunately in werewolf form, his running speed was so fast that he had already left the park in a few seconds and was now running through a small narrow path.

"Damn it! Damnt it! The target's power is at Alpha level or maybe more!"

"This was not mentioned in the information at all!"

As Jon had already run tens of meters away in a few seconds, he was slightly relieved that it seemed he had managed to escape.

But his body suddenly froze and stopped running because in front of him was the man who was the target of his mission standing with a smile on his face.

"Yo, I heard you misheard the information about me."

With Lynn's current power, a distance of tens or hundreds of meters would actually only take him a few seconds to cover. Especially when he used honkai energy which with his lightning element, he could run as fast as lightning.

Looking at the mutant with a werewolf form in front of him, he wondered which group this mutant came from?

In the original work, he remembered there were several groups that were actually very obsessed with getting Jean.

They were attracted by the power of the Phoenix inside Jean of course.

Although it was said by the wolf mutant in front of him that he was the target of his mission, but he knew this must have something to do with Jean.

So before killing the other party, he had to interrogate him first.

"You... You... Let me go! I surrender, okay? Please don't kill me!"

Jon knelt down, he was really scared of the other party who could turn him into ashes with a lightning strike.

Of all the mutant abilities he had ever seen, that of the man in front of him was the most terrifying.

Even his own boss, Jason. Or Shaw who was the mutant leader of the Hellfire Club. They didn't have any mutant abilities that were more terrifying than the man standing in front of him.

So what else should he do in this situation?

Fight back?

Stupid, it's better to surrender to save his own life!

Seeing the other party surrender so easily, Lynn was a little disappointed.

"I will consider not killing you. As long as you satisfy me with the information of who sent you, I will consider it."

Jon, who was kneeling, raised his head in relief. Giving his group's information to the man in front of him was tantamount to betraying his own group.

But so what?

He himself wasn't really loyal to Jason. So he nodded and willingly told the man in front of him about who sent him and the other mutants.

But just as he was about to speak, he felt something explode inside his head and his vision immediately went dark.

It was the last thing he felt before dying.

Looking at the other party who suddenly died before speaking, Lynn sighed.

"Someone has implanted psychic energy inside his brain."

"But from this kind of anti-betrayal routine, I might know who the person who sent them is."

A mutant with the nickname Mastermind or Mutant of Illusion came to hus mind.

Indeed.

If it was the super villain who was most obsessed with Jean, only that man could be the culprit.

Lynn thought about this for a while before becoming a purple lightning bolt and disappearing from the small street.

Soon, he was back in the garden and removed the electro-shield that enveloped Jean.

But when he saw Jean, there seemed to be something wrong with her.

"Jean, are you okay?"

Jean frowned while holding her head with one hand. She turned to Lynn who had just come in with red light flashing repeatedly in her eyes.

"Lynn... Don't come any closer. I feel like I might lose control at any moment."

"You'd better leave me alone as soon as possible."

Lynn narrowed his eyes and said: "No, actually I might be able to do something to help you."

"Lynn, please! Listen to me, this power is very dangerous!"

"Even Professor X has trouble suppressing my power."

Jean jumped back a few meters, cosmic flames began to envelop her and the temperature in the park instantly rose to extreme levels.

The trees, grass, soil and anything else within five meters of her began to burn on their own.

And slowly the range of the burning effect began to expand.

"Lynn! Hurry up and leave!"

Jean shouted, she felt her consciousness getting thinner and she felt the creature inside her was about to take over her body.

She was afraid of hurting Lynn.

And because this situation seemed to be worse than any she had experienced in the past.

She didn't even know what would happen to her after her body was taken over by the creature inside her.

Not just destroying the garden, she might also destroy the city with her out of control powers!

This made her extremely panicked and afraid of losing herself.

Before her consciousness faded, she saw Lynn still standing in front of her.

She saw the man smiling and walking towards her.

"Lynn! What are you trying to do! Don't come near me, you'll get burned!"

Jean knew Lynn just wanted to try to help her, she was touched and liked this man even more.

But it was too dangerous!

She didn't want the person she loved to burn and turn into ashes because of her own actions.

Although she knew Lynn seemed to be very strong.

Her cosmic fire was also very powerful!

She remembered that in the past, she had accidentally burned people or mutants to ashes with her fire.

This made her realize how dangerous her fire power was.

Unlike the fire manipulation abilities that other mutants possessed, her fire was no ordinary fire as it was cosmic fire which was actually an ability belonging to a being sealed within her!

Actually, Jean wasn't the only one who saw Lynn in action.

The being inside her, Phoenix, can also see what Jean sees through her eyes which are currently glowing with red light.

Phoenix and Jean saw Lynn standing not far in front of them.

Meanwhile the view of the park within a 10-meter radius has become a blaze like in hell.

Jean wanted to run away from Lynn because she didn't want to hurt him.

But Phoenix's consciousness held Jean's body still because she was curious about what the human in front of her would do.

As a cosmic being, she could sense something special about the human in front of her, especially when the other party wasn't burned by her cosmic fire.

Not only from humans, he was even different from other beings.

There was something different that attracted her to him.

To her surprise, after standing right in front of her.

The human lifted her chin with one hand and looked into her eyes from such a close distance.

While Jean's consciousness was embarrassed and blushed at seeing Lynn's handsome face so close.

Phoenix was stunned to see Lynn's glowing purple eyes staring at her as if looking directly into her phoenix form.

If it was just that, she wouldn't have reacted much because the bald human had done the same thing a few years ago.

But this time was different!

She felt that the human in front of her was not only staring at her, but the unknown energy residing from his body was also starting to enter and try to influence her.

If it was trying to control her, Phoenix the Great. She would definitely be furious and instantly blast the man in front of her.

But she did not.

Because the energy coming from the human in front of her only made her very comfortable and made her addicted to this feeling.

Slowly, she even took the initiative to stop spitting her fire through Jean and focus on enjoying the energy that the human named Lynn was sending.

The energy from Lynn made her very comfortable.

Lynn had no idea that Phoenix had even remembered his name.

Right now, he was focusing on using the Clear Mind skill he had gotten a few days ago from the system.

Fortunately that skill was really useful in this situation.

Even the Phoenix-like cosmic being inside Jean's body was able to calm down and stop making trouble after experiencing the magic of Clear Mind.

Lynn was actually a little surprised.

It turned out that the skills he originally thought were trash had such a strong effect.

Even this skill was able to tame a rampaging cosmic-level creature!

After feeling Phoenix completely calm down, and seeing Jean regain consciousness.

Lynn stopped using Clear Mind and hugged Jean's body that was about to fall.

"Jean, we need to leave this place soon. I'll take you to my house."

"Uh, okay... Thank you and sorry to have troubled you so much tonight, Lynn."

Jean who was nestled in his arms smiled and looked at him with love-filled eyes.

Unfortunately Lynn did not see this.

Because after hearing Jean's approval. He hurriedly used his teleportation skills and moved straight to his house.

As for the park that was still burning? He deliberately left it alone to slightly trick the eyes of the bystanders who would surely come to the scene soon.

Estimated.

Those people must be panicking, right?

...

That's right.

Just like Lynn thought.

People were panicking, and the most panicked of all was Professor X.

In his wheelchair, he sat in his office fidgeting and trying to stay calm when he found out the extra seal he had made for Jean was broken and the redhead was out of control somewhere.

He could feel the Phoenix in Jean raging!

The location was in a city park.

He was originally going to tell all the X-Men to go to where Jean was and try to calm her down.

Not really sure if that would work or not.

But after feeling Phoenix calm down after a while in such a magical way.

He was dumbfounded, and held back Ororo who was about to gather all the X-Men.

"What's wrong Professor? Is Jean's situation getting worse?!"

Ororo who was standing in front of Charles looked worried at the moment.

As Jean's friend, she was naturally worried that something bad had happened to her friend.

Charles shook his head, and his expression looked relieved.

"No, luckily Jean managed to regain her consciousness and her powers that were previously out of control suddenly became very stable."

"...."

If she didn't know Professor X's personality well, Ororo suspected Charles was joking about the bad situation Jean was in.

Frowning, she asked curiously. "Professor, this is Jean we're talking about."

"Isn't it hard to keep Jean calm whenever she gets out of control? In the past we even had to use all the X-Men's power to restrain Jean and let you calm her down with the seal."

"But now? Why is Jean's out of control problem solved so easily?"

Charles smiled wryly and said: "Ororo, you remember me saying that Jean is in love with someone, right?"

"Ah! Could it be..."

Ororo realized something.

Charles nodded.

"That man is very strong."

"It was Jean's good fortune to meet and have a good relationship with him."

"Professor, is that man an Omega-level mutant? How strong is he?" Ororo asked.

She was glad that Jean had a strong man who could support her and was able to overcome her loss of control problem.

It's just that after hearing what happened to Jean from Professor.

She became even more curious about the man Jean was dating.

Rubbing his chin, Charles pondered and said: "I'm not sure if she's a mutant or not."

"But to be able to calm the creature inside Jean so easily, he is already stronger than me."

"And even his destructive power... The energy he emits is familiar with the one who destroyed Ferncliff Forest a few days ago."

"!!!"

Ororo was dumbfounded, she of course knew the news about Ferncliff Forest being blown up a few days ago. The explosion even caused a slight earthquake that could be felt from Xavier School.

Although the government said the forest was blown up by terrorists from other countries attacking the United States.

She knew it was just the government trying to cover up the existence of the supernatural from the public.

And what really happened, the forest was actually blown up by people with superpowers.

According to Professor.

The person who blew up Ferncliff Forest was the man Jean was dating?

Doesn't that mean he's stronger than Magneto?

Even Magneto with Omega-level mutant powers couldn't create an explosion as powerful as a nuclear bomb with his magnetic manipulation power!

"Ororo, after Jean returns."

"Since you're a woman, try asking who the man Jean is dating is."

"Uh, don't you even know who that man is yet? Professor?" Ororo was confused.

Charles shook his head. "I can't, I could only sense a bit of his energy before. I can't even contact him telepathically because that guy has psychic defenses no less powerful than Magneto's helmet."

"And you're a woman, I'm sure Jean will be more open to you if you talk about love with her."

Ororo somewhat understood what Charles said and nodded.

"I understand Professor, I'll ask Jean later."

...

In the meantime.

Emma had just returned to Xavier School with a bag of food in her hand.

This appearance of hers was only to deceive so that others would not suspect that she had actually followed Jean before.

After returning to the dormitory, and locking herself in her room.

Her face was flushed and she was breathing slightly heavily.

"So handsome and strong..."

"Can even make Phoenix calm down so easily."

"Hehe Jean, your boyfriend is very attractive."

Recalling the scene where Lynn slaughtered all the mutants sent by Jason.

And the scene where he calmed down Jean who was out of control.

Emma who had observed everything from a great distance and from a very hidden place.

Was stunned when she saw this scene.

It looks like the plan to capture Phoenix will be useless as long as Lynn is by Jean's side.

Emma is a realistic person, knowing there are people who can calm an out-of-control Phoenix so easily.

She would rather change her plan instead of underestimating someone as strong as Lynn and stubbornly try another trick to catch Phoenix.

So instead of relying on Phoenix to achieve her ambitions. Why didn't she rely on Lynn? A man with mysterious powers who might be able to help her.

Unlike Phoenix who is hard to control, controlling a man with beauty tricks would be easier, right?

Even without using her mind control power which she knew would be useless on someone as powerful as Lynn.

Looking at her own appearance in the mirror.

Blonde hair.

Milky white skin.

Large breasts.

And voluptuous figure.

Emma is very confident in her own appearance which is not inferior to Jean.

As long as she can charm Lynn with her body and get him to agree to help her.

She doesn't even mind being his woman.

Besides, Lynn is very handsome and very much to her taste.

Imagining Lynn's looks, Emma even felt a little nympho.

She envied Jean for having Lynn by her side.

"It's decided."

"I have to ask Jean to introduce me to Lynn!"

"It's the easiest way to contact Lynn through Jean as her friend."

Emma had a sly smile on her face, she had even thought of some good plans to seduce Lynn behind Jean's back.
