New Ability

Mind-shifting, telepathy, flight, matter decomposition, time and space manipulation—Phoenix's terrifying power encompasses the capacity to destroy the world. Despite the diverse abilities, they all stem from the core—spiritual power.

It occurs to Alex that perhaps he, too, could attain such world-shattering power. His expression fluctuates, contemplating that such power transcends humanity, elevating one to a godlike status—the kind of power that existed thousands of years ago, the deity above all living beings.

Unfortunately, the Marvel universe is intricate, and Alex is uncertain about the existence of cosmic entities like the One-Above-All or the Living Tribunal. The power of a Level 5 Omega Mutant falls short.

"Sir, are you a new teacher?" Jean, finishing her painting, looked up at Alex with bright eyes, a hint of golden-red color betraying the concealed Phoenix force within her.

"In a way," Alex replied with a smile.

"Mom said I can't leave with strangers. People who want to abduct kids are usually human traffickers," Jean remarked.

"Well, let me talk to the principal of your school and have him call your parents. I'll bring your whole family to live in New York," Alex sighted, realizing he had unwittingly been mistaken for a child abductor.

Under Alex's management, Jean Grey's family swiftly traveled by train to the outskirts of New York, where Alex's grand manor awaited. The vast estate housed only housekeepers and a few part-time servants, and Alex contemplated the idea of welcoming other children like Jean to infuse some liveliness into the mansion.

"Level five power, the pinnacle strength in this world."

Settling Jean Grey's family in his manor, Alex seated himself on the living room sofa, extracting a strand of Jean Grey's hair.

The fiery red strands gleamed with clarity, appearing as if a flowing flame ran through them.

In this moment, Alex felt a tinge of excitement. What would happen to the abilities of a fifth-level Mutant after undergoing systematic enhancement?

"Gather the genes," Alex chuckled, tossing Jean Grey's hair into the system.

[Gathering]

[Gathering is successful. Shall we proceed with strengthening]

"Strengthen." Alex gave the command.

[Strengthening]

[The strengthening is successful]

[Starting Integration]

Alex's expression grew more serious. Jean's abilities were already formidable, and further strengthening would undoubtedly result in a considerable augmentation.

Beads of sweat formed on Alex's forehead, and his entire body's cells underwent a process of disintegration and rebirth.

This continued for about half an hour.

Alex's clothes clung to him, soaked in sweat. His expression reflected exhaustion, and he murmured, "Truly befitting a Level 5 Mutant's ability. After strengthening, her power has intensified. Once limited to controlling matter and energy at the molecular level, now she can manipulate them at the sub atomic level."

"I am now equivalent to a human-shaped nuclear bomb. I can create a nuclear explosion at any time as long as I want," a glint flashed in Alex's eyes.

Truly fitting for a phoenix, an entity of terror!

Especially after being enhanced by the system, Alex's powers had grown even more formidable.

"Manipulating matter and energy at the atomic level, meaning I can alter the atoms of matter and rearrange their sequence to achieve the desired effect?" Alex raised his hand, and instantly, the diamond ring on his finger decomposed into a pile of graphite.

Under Alex's control, these graphites re-synthesized into a larger diamond.

"That's it—altering the characteristics of atoms to achieve the ability to decompose, combine, and even replace other substances." Alex's eyes gleamed as a stone turned into gold. This was the underlying principle.

This had already reached the Creator-level ability.

"In the future, anyone who dares to provoke me will receive a small nuclear bomb as a reward, or I can turn them into atoms, or change the atomic sequence of their body, turning them from a human into frogs?" Alex's lips curled slightly, feeling that in gaining Jean, he hadn't just acquired an ally but also a remarkably powerful ability.

Alex dared to declare that at this very moment, he could stand against even Thanos in the future.
