Being closely chased by Apocalypse,

  The phoenix looked up and hissed, and the waves of flame rolled.

  Its attitude was arrogant and contemptuous.

  It was as if it had no regard for this mutant god.

  Even if it wasn't the same as before, and its own strength was greatly weakened, this cold attitude remained unchanged.

  'Humph, weak creature.'

  The Phoenix emitted such a thought.

  The flaming wings flap violently, sending a wave of incandescent flames into the sky.

  High in the sky, even the air currents became viscous.

  With a few breaths, a normal person would be completely ignited and burned to ashes from the inside out.

  "Are you better than me now?"

  Apocalypse's gray face twitched.

  Thousands of years ago, he was burned by the Phoenix Force.

  And had to sleep in the pyramid for a long time.

  But now, the situation had turned around. The Phoenix had somehow encountered an accident or some kind of enemy.

  That powerful cosmic energy was halved, and he could squeeze it and flatten it.

  Apocalypse didn't think that it would come to this.

  The Phoenix lost the battle but was still as scornful as it could be.

  "You really think I can't handle you?"

  Even the calmest person in the world would have fire in him, not to mention Apocalypse, a self-proclaimed god.

  With a cry of anger, a semi-circular shield of energy rose around him.

  Then a strong purple light flashed in his right hand, instantly forming several terrifying thunderbolts as big as a millstone.

  Boom! Boom boom!

  The sound of continuous explosions resonated high in the sky.

  The energy collision set off a fierce gale, sending up a sonic boom-like explosion.

  For miles around, the sky changed.

  Dark clouds covered the sun, and thunder rolled.

  The oppressive, suffocating layer of leaden grey clouds looked like a backdrop.

  And the huge fire Phoenix was particularly dazzling.

  It spread its wings and covered almost half of Las Vegas.

  "Why hang on? How much more power can you muster?"

  Apocalypse sneered.

  Before, the Phoenix was able to disintegrate everything and reorganize matter with a single thought.

  The fire of creation, which could melt everything and erase existence, was even more terrifying.

  But after the encounter just now, Apocalypse found that the Phoenix's power had deteriorated considerably and wasn't as powerful as it once was.

  'I heard that the Phoenix Force has no material form and likes to look for powerful hosts.'

  Apocalypse had found out the truth about Phoenix and completely emerged from the shadow of defeat.

  "Is there a more suitable host for you on this planet, other than me?"

  The Phoenix seemed to have heard the joke, and its huge body shook.

  The spiritual waves it emitted spread through the void ——

  'Ugly, go away!'

  The hosts chosen by the Phoenix Force were both male and female.

  It might be related to its aesthetics, with women being the majority and men being involuntary.

  One of K'un-Lun's strongest Iron Fist of all time, Fongji Wu, who shattered the Phoenix's form, needs no introduction. A standard oriental girl with a beautiful presence.

  Jean Grey, White Queen Emma Frost, Cyclops Scott Summers, Wolverine Logan, Colossus, Magik…


  In terms of looks, they all fluctuated around the upper-middle range.

  No one was as ugly and unforgettable as Apocalypse.

  Rage +100!

  Apocalypse's eyes rounded as if he had been stabbed.

  When he was born, he was born with grey skin and blue lips.

  He was regarded as a monster by his parents and abandoned in the desert.

  Since childhood, Apocalypse had been looked at with disdain and disgust.

  "You'll regret it!"

  Apocalypse's eyes turned white as he used his abilities.

  One by one, lightning bolts as thick as a child's arm struck down amidst thick dark clouds.

  Like a silver fence, it surrounded the flaming Phoenix.

  At first glance, it looked like a huge cage, holding it in place.

  As the Phoenix flapped its wings, waves of fiery red flames tumbled, tearing apart the lightning and dark clouds.

  Like a meteor disintegrating into a thousand streams of fire, the Phoenix Force swept out and struck the grey figure standing in mid-air.

  "You think I'm unprepared?"

  Apocalypse raised his hand and placed layer after layer of energy shield around himself. A rich purple light enveloped him, with dark clouds and violent thunderbolts, making him look like a god.

  He had the experience of learning how to fight with the nomads. The cruelty, indifference, and savagery … were practically in his bones. The goal was to bring together his strong combat awareness.

  Therefore, he wasn't only the god of mutants but also a tough warrior.

  The best warriors are often good at drawing lessons from their experiences.

  Apocalypse believed that the reason for the last failure was that he underestimated the enemy; and partly due to the horrific power of the Phoenix.

  Both energy and matter could be broken down and destroyed.

  There was no defense, no stopping it.

  Therefore, Apocalypse painstakingly pondered and found a solution.

  That was ——

  Form the thickest armor and receive the vicious strikes!

  Anyway, he has a good body and high defense, so as long as he didn't burn, he could withstand the full output of Phoenix Force.

  As it happens, the tidal wave of flames that raged through dozens of layers of Apocalypse's energy shields was somewhat overwhelming.

  The tall figure wearing metal armor, like a hard reef in the heart of the river, remained tenacious.

  He strode forward against the billowing flames that could melt gold and iron.

  At the same time, all the psychic attacks and energy output was directed at the Phoenix.

  The flaming Phoenix, perched high in the sky, was unable to break free from the lightning cage and could only be passively beaten.

  The dazzling light radiating from its whole body gradually faded down.

  "Accept your destiny and become the most powerful weapon for me to conquer the world!"

  Apocalypse's face was cold, his right hand clenched into a fist, and a terrifying force filled it.

  Boom!

  The mutant god, equally powerful in the flesh, punched the Phoenix.

  The overwhelming power that could sink mountain peaks was like waving a heavy hammer on a red-hot iron sheet.

  Sparks erupted!

  Thousands of bright flames, like falling meteors, fell down.

  The towering buildings of Las Vegas looked as if they had been built out of the sand, melting and burning in a matter of seconds.

  Reinforced concrete was fragile in the face of the Phoenix Force's flames.

  "A fight is a fight, but you have damaged the buildings, hurt innocent citizens, and caused great economic losses and property losses to Las Vegas."

  The clear smiling voice echoed through the dark and gloomy sky.

  Boom!

  A silver lightning bolt struck down, reflecting a dark red cloak and a sturdy figure.

  Luke stared at Apocalypse with a scowl on his face.

  "Are you going to pay the fine? Then, go back to S.H.I.E.L.D for coffee with me, or do you want to resist the law violently?"

  Superman's arms were clasped around his chest, and his eyes were glowing red.

  "Enemies will always meet! Here you are again, Superman!"

  Apocalypse's confidence was high. After emerging from the defeat of the past, he felt confident.

  He coldly glanced at Luke. The fear that he had before was gone.

  With the Phoenix force at hand, why should he fear Superman?

  'Just on time. Getting rid of two enemies at once will save time and effort.'

  Apocalypse threw a final punch with a terrifying force that pierced through the air as if to break the Phoenix's form apart.
