"We need to get back and have Professor Xavier check you," said Storm.

The three of them hurried away.

Two kilometers away, Syd , observing the now-vanished red phoenix, murmured to himself under Venom's puzzled gaze, "The Phoenix Force, huh?"

Originally, Syd might not have known what it was, considering the numerous red energies in Marvel. But if it took the shape of a phoenix, it could only be one thing: the Phoenix Force, one of Marvel's three ancient forces.

In Marvel lore, it's often compared to chaos magic.

Syd frowned, thinking, "Strange, didn't Jean Grey already have the Phoenix Force? What's this then?"

He began to ponder.

Soon, he figured it out.

In X-Men: Dark Phoenix, the Phoenix Force did indeed appear in space and was attracted to Jean, choosing to bond with her.

As for why Jean already had traces of the Phoenix Force, Syd had a theory.

The Phoenix Force was never whole; it existed in fragments. This could be another fragment, or a fragment that had long been linked to Jean. It flew from deep space to better merge with her.

For a cosmic abstract entity, representing the mind and life, achieving this wasn't difficult.

As for why the Phoenix Force chose Jean, it made perfect sense.

Syd pondered.

The Phoenix Force favored those with strong mental powers. Despite Jean's seemingly average performance in the X-Men, her mental strength was among the top in humanity. Even Professor X couldn't compare; Jean surpassed him in mental strength.

However, unlike Professor X, Jean couldn't control her powers as effortlessly, often losing control. Eventually, Professor X used his psychic abilities to restrain her.

According to the storyline, as the Phoenix Force within her awakened, she lost control again, turning into the Dark Phoenix.

Thinking of the Dark Phoenix, Syd's expression turned grim.

Transformed into the Dark Phoenix, or with her second personality awakened, Jean's mental power skyrocketed. Even Professor X couldn't escape death in the storyline.

"Now that the Phoenix Force has suddenly arrived, is she going to turn dark?" Syd pondered, forced to consider his chances if he had to face the Dark Phoenix.

Compared to Jean's gentle main personality, the Dark Phoenix was almost insane. Who knew what she might do? If she suddenly attacked...

After calculating, Syd shook his head, feeling unsure of his chances.

"I need to get stronger during this time and hope the Dark Phoenix won't turn dark so quickly or cause trouble."

Besides this, Syd felt the timeline was a bit chaotic.

The Dark Phoenix should be part of the Days of Future Past timeline reset, the Apocalypse line, where mutants weren't in such a bad situation.

"Forget it, Marvel's always a mess, especially with my influence..."

Syd shook his head, stopping his thoughts. He floated in the air, practicing his floating flight skills and absorbing photon energy.

While Syd was busy developing his abilities, Cyclops and the others returned to the X-Mansion, where they were examining Jean's condition.

After some tests, they found nothing wrong with Jean except for her energy levels being off the charts.

"Jean, how do you feel?" asked Professor X from his wheelchair.

"I... I don't know how to describe it. It feels unprecedented, like everything is activated. I feel great."

Cyclops and the others sighed in relief, but Professor X's expression turned grim as he thought of something.

"Jean, let me check," Professor X said, placing his hand on Jean's head and closing his eyes to use his psychic abilities.

But as soon as his mind entered Jean's, her expression changed slightly, and she snarled, "Get out of my mind!"

With that, an invisible telekinetic force pushed Professor X away.

With a thud, he and his wheelchair fell to the ground, and the surrounding objects were also scattered by the telekinetic wave.

"Jean!"

"Professor!"

Beast, Cyclops, and the others exclaimed.

Professor X propped himself up, saying, "I'm fine."

Then he looked at Jean.

Under their gazes, the now-normal Jean panicked, "I don't know what happened..."

While the X-Men were in chaos, three white light clusters floated in the dark night sky.

Looking closely, three alien spaceships could be seen within the halos.

Boom, boom, boom!

The three ships quickly crashed into the river.

...

"Woof, woof, woof..."

At a house party, a golden retriever suddenly started barking outside.

"I'll go check on Luna," said a beautiful woman in a white dress with platinum blonde hair.

Her companions laughed and joked.

"Go ahead."

"Remember to stop her barking."

Margaret smiled apologetically and headed outside.

In the dim woods, Margaret soon found the barking Luna.

"Luna, what's wrong?"

"Calm down, good girl, stop barking..."

She tried to soothe Luna, but the dog kept barking at something ahead.

Margaret, puzzled, cautiously walked in that direction.

After a few steps, she was startled and hurriedly retreated.

Emerging from the darkness were several gray humanoid creatures with withered skin, resembling mummies.

A scream echoed, then the woods fell silent again.

The gray humanoids gradually transformed into the woman named Margaret and headed to the party.

Behind her were more gray aliens.

Soon, the party fell silent, and all the gray aliens disguised themselves as humans.

If Syd were here, he would recognize them immediately.

They were the D'Bari, residents of the planet D'Bari.

The Phoenix Force had inadvertently destroyed their planet while heading to Earth. Unwilling to accept this, the survivors sought the Phoenix Force, following its trail to Earth.
