Chapter 710: Death of the Dark Phoenix
2022-10-19 Author: Great Demon Spirit
Tony had always viewed Jean and the Dark Phoenix differently; the two were fundamentally not the same entity. Jean was still Dr. Jean, but the Dark Phoenix had long been filled by a sub-personality, becoming a pitiable creature controlled by the Phoenix Force.
Tony wouldn't painstakingly consider, like Professor X, how to help Jean "emerge," truly accept the sub-personality, thereby achieving a fusion of the two and successfully mastering the Phoenix Force. Tony was more inclined to completely destroy the Dark Phoenix, blasting it into smithereens and using it as nourishment to replenish Jean.
Actually, those who have read the comics all know that the Dark Phoenix is truly an independent entity, tyrannical and cruel, tormenting Jean again and again, and harboring immense malice and hostility towards her. By the later White Phoenix Jean stage, Jean committed suicide to atone, and the Dark Phoenix, having separated from Jean, wandered in the outside world for a long time. Once it had its fill, it returned to Earth, forcibly revived the long-dead Jean, and reached a consensus with her. Together, the two collected Phoenix Fragments and advanced to become the even more powerful White Phoenix.
To put it bluntly, the Dark Phoenix might truly be an evolution of Jean's sub-personality, but it is even more so a Phoenix Fragment with self-consciousness: independent, arrogant, and cruel. Tony completely lacked the patience to gradually approach and understand the Dark Phoenix. Since he had the ability to destroy the Dark Phoenix's consciousness, he would absolutely not use more troublesome methods. Peaceful means involved too many variables; it would require placing hope in the Dark Phoenix realizing, "it can't function without host personality Jean," which was far too uncertain.
"I will strip away all your consciousness, completely destroy your spiritual form, re-blend you into pure energy, and then stuff you back into Jean." Tony lowered his head and said with a cold laugh.
"If you kill me, she will also die a terrible death." The Dark Phoenix wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, frowned, and secretly cursed the weak human host body. Her dark eyes met Tony's as she said coldly.
"Even if I don't kill you, she's already suffered enough. No one here owes you anything; don't always act like the whole world owes you money. On the contrary, you shouldn't have been born in the first place. Without Professor X and Jean, you would still just be a ball of energy now."
Tony instantly appeared beside Jean. Jean, whose expression changed slightly, growled, frantically unleashing the Phoenix Force, and engaged Tony in battle. A group of demigods, with grave expressions, blocked the aftermath of the battle to prevent irreversible damage to the planet.
Wanda watched the two intensely fighting. The frequently restless Phoenix Force was like a fuse, making the chaos power within Wanda stir restlessly, desperately conveying a frantic aura. Similar to Jean, the chaos power within Wanda was also constantly challenging her sanity and self-control, though it was far less dangerous than Jean's situation. But if things continued this way, Wanda would also lose control someday; it was only a matter of time. Wanda tried hard to suppress the countless mad, bloodthirsty thoughts that suddenly and inexplicably emerged in her heart, focusing on using chaos magic to block the aftermath of the battle. But the strange red glow that occasionally flashed in her eyes seemed to indicate that her condition was not good.
"Calm down, my child. Your power is merely your servant." Magneto flew to Wanda's side, his eyes fixed forward, and said faintly.
Wanda pursed her lips, and the red glow in her eyes flickered, then disappeared without a trace.
...
Tony dragged the Dark Phoenix high into the sky. No matter how frantically the Dark Phoenix blasted the ground and the distance, her attacks were all blocked by the prepared crowd.
"Die."
Tony shattered a wave of Phoenix energy. Golden light swirled around him. The Phoenix Force, noble enough not to be inferior to Tony, had to face the fate of defeat under Tony's superior and powerful might. The Dark Phoenix was still too weak, at least not as strong as the current Tony.
Roaring again and again, the arrogant Dark Phoenix was tormented by Tony to within an inch of her life, growing weaker and weaker. Until it reached the critical point, Tony, with a cold face, shattered the barrier created by the Dark Phoenix, appearing before her. He raised his hand and fiercely grabbed the Dark Phoenix's entire face. The power of the One True God penetrated through the host body into the core area of life. That constantly howling and mad Phoenix Fragment was savagely seized by Tony and then violently torn apart.
"Others might be concerned about Jean's safety and thus unable to attack you with full power, but I don't need to. I can directly access the Phoenix Fragment and completely pull you out."
In Jean's spiritual world, Tony's figure appeared, his vast face revealing indifference and mercilessness. He only had dealings with Jean and had no connection whatsoever with the Dark Phoenix.
Tony mercilessly moved to kill the Dark Phoenix.
Accompanied by piercing screeches and mournful wails, a phantom thing, similar to the light construct in Tony's hand, was pulled out. The dense Phoenix Force came into contact, immediately creating an immense suction force. The Dark Phoenix desperately tried to merge with the Phoenix Egg, in order to gain the power to turn the tables.
Holding the light construct containing the Dark Phoenix's consciousness, a thought stirred in Tony's mind. The Allspark suddenly emitted clusters of life-controlling power. The moment it touched the Dark Phoenix, it began frantically annihilating the Dark Phoenix's spiritual form. The Allspark is the source of life for all Transformers. Every Transformer, from birth to death, forms a bond with the Allspark, and after death, returns their life's secrets in the form of information to the Allspark. Therefore, the Allspark actually contains countless profound mysteries about life. To strip away a consciousness body, even the Dark Phoenix's, is easy.
The Dark Phoenix, not even Level Eight, was far from qualified to contend with Tony's Allspark.
Continuous waves of mournful screams rang out. The Dark Phoenix's spiritual form, encountering the Allspark's life-destroying ability, began to rapidly melt like snowflakes facing scorching sunlight. The arrogant Dark Phoenix was gradually stripped of her right to exist; she would forever disappear from this world.
"Let me go, I will leave Jean's host body, and leave her forever!" the Dark Phoenix said with difficulty.
"I said, you cannot leave. I need you to become nourishment to strengthen Jean, making her even more powerful."
"With just her, is she worthy of the Phoenix Force?! If she truly had that capability, she wouldn't be in this situation today! Why don't you let me go and let me help her control this power! Otherwise, even if you kill me, a new me will be born within Jean in the future!"
Tony paused, then said indifferently, "Then I will just kill the new you again, until Jean successfully masters the Phoenix Force."
The frequency of destruction suddenly intensified. Before the vast and endless Allspark, the flame of the Dark Phoenix's life continuously diminished. At the same time, the related secrets of the Phoenix Force were also massively acquired and analyzed by the Allspark. The emotions and willpower of countless lives were captured and analyzed by the Allspark, giving Tony a clearer understanding of the Phoenix Force.
"Farewell, Dark Phoenix." Tony said indifferently, and in the snap of a finger, completely annihilated the last bit of the Dark Phoenix's spirit.
