Marvel Reverses Wolverine

Chapter 268 “Children of the Universe” and the Mystery of the Multiverse

Mr. Howard Stark was about to do something heavy and complicated today, but he lost his temper with his son before he even left home early in the morning.

Bang!

"You are so angry with your father, why don't you act like a human being, Farke! MIT's education is to let you invent a wine-making machine and then play with 'bumper cars' all the way home!"

The sound of the door upstairs being slammed shut once again aroused Old Stark's anger, and he roared back like a lion with a voice far louder than the slamming of the door.

He is already over 60 years old, and just looking at the way he is full of energy when angry, it will not be a problem to live for another twenty years.

His wife Maria pushed Howard out of the house and urged him to do his own business, trying to end the quarrel.

While untying his tie with a huff, Old Stark got into the car and ordered very naturally:

"Edwin, let's go to the Whip of Order headquarters."

"Uh okay sir."

The young new driver was stunned for two seconds. He quickly realized what he was doing and started the car quickly. Without any explanation from him, Mr. Stark sighed slowly and straightened the tie he had just pulled apart little by little.

"I'm sorry Alan, I'm used to it"

The driver just shook his head and smiled and said nothing more, and the Rolls-Royce entered a long period of silence.

Howard thought about moments like this in the past, when he would definitely talk to Jarvis about his grievances, listen to his graceful and calm relief for a moment, and then give some well-measured suggestions.

Thinking of his old friend Edwin Jarvis, who passed away not long ago, Old Stark felt as if a hole had been cut out and then filled with ice lumps.

And Tony, who has had a deep affection for Jarvis butler since childhood, may be even more uncomfortable than him.

Stark gradually realized that he was a little too harsh on his son who was drunk last night. Tony had not yet woken up from the sadness, but he was used to covering up his inner thoughts with a cynical attitude and laughter and curses.

As he frowned and thought about it, Howard suddenly turned his head and saw outside the car window, the back of a black-haired young man leading a little boy looked familiar.

I wanted to ask the driver to stop the car, but then I thought about how that gentleman would be wandering around with his children out of boredom so early in the morning. Moreover, the place I was going to today was extremely secretive and important, so I couldn't allow his temper to be delayed at all.

Urging, the car sped down the avenue of Blake Street.

"When we get to the place where my sister is studying, you can't just run around, remember?"

"Yeah! Remember Grandpa."

Off Blake Street in the heart of Greenwich Village, New York.

James Howlett was walking leisurely while holding his little grandson Pietro Lensher, who looked to be only six or seven years old but had thick short silver-white hair.

The little guy licked the ice cream thinly, and with his right hand raised high, he was finally able to touch James's hanging fingertips. He agreed with a sweet voice, and his two short legs jumped happily.

More than half a year later, Pietro has grown taller, and his ability to be naughty has also improved.

From causing trouble to the residents of "Wolf Mountain Town" at the foot of the old house, to tormenting teachers and classmates every day after being sent to the academy, Pietro Rancher's name has become the most frequently mentioned and troublesome one in the Howlett family. vocabulary.

James looked ahead at No. 117 Blake Street, which would soon be reached, and he still felt a little worried and warned again:

"Also, don't touch things randomly. Well, it's best not to touch anything. There are many dangerous objects in the Mystic Mage's sanctuary. If you're not careful, a big monster may be released to eat you!"

Little Pietro raised his head and blinked his eyes, feeling a little more curious in his heart. On the surface, he pretended to be obedient and remained calm, nodding in response.

"I know, grandpa, don't worry! Hug~~"

Pulling on the hem of his grandfather's clothes, the little guy finished the last bite of the roll at the end of the ice cream, opened his arms wide, and was hugged by James.

The architectural style of the Sanctuary of New York is obviously different from that of the surrounding buildings. In addition to the off-white and tawny stones of similar colors, the mystics remodeled it into four-cornered round arches, with a huge glazed window tile in the middle of the roof. exotic style.

The sanctuary is located in one of the most central and bustling areas of the city. Every day, a large number of pedestrians pass by and notice this tall building with an obviously unique shape. There are also many photographers or curious people trying to enter. visit.

But people always think of something important when they have such an idea, temporarily postpone the plan to visit the mansion No. 117, and then naturally ignore it.

James held Pietro and knocked lightly on the door knocker. The door, which looked like oak, made a buzzing sound like gold and iron.

The secret mage inside has been prepared for a long time. Mage Xiao Li, who has known each other for decades, has opened a spark portal leading to the snowy peak and is waiting in the hall.

Arriving at the Kama Taj Core Sanctuary, James did not dare to put down Pietro in his arms easily. He let Pietro flutter his calves like a high-frequency trembling motor and refused to relax. The four side halls for drinking tea.

It wasn't until he saw Wanda Lanshere with a big red bun and a light blue enchanting mage robe waiting eagerly outside the hall that James smiled and put down Pietro, and in the blink of an eye, a silver "little whirlwind" He kept circling around Wanda.

Bronze bells, stone lamps, wooden platforms and futons.

The Supreme Mage and James sat cross-legged opposite each other, silently watching Wanda on the other side manipulate the tea set properly and skillfully.

The little girl obviously showed some self-expression, her face was slightly red as she carefully prepared tea, poured a cup for her master and grandpa, and put it in front of her brother who was scratching his head like a little monkey.

"Master, Grandpa, please drink tea Pietro, please slow down!"

Looking at the well-behaved Wanda's pretty little face, James couldn't help but lean forward and kiss her forehead fondly, and said loudly in the little girl's obviously reserved and high-spirited smile:

"How has Wanda learned over the past six months? I haven't caused any trouble to you."

"It's okay, no trouble."

Master Gu Yi's calm and cold face was betrayed by his eyes as soft as water. He finally couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth as he picked up the tea cup and drank.

There were magicians who often heard playful laughter coming from the hall. When they stopped and took a look, they realized that it was the Supreme Master playing with his young apprentice Wanda.

Pietro was obviously a little impatient with such a quiet and boring atmosphere. His little hand on the table dangled into a shadow. James looked down and stopped in aggrieved manner.

"Wanda, take your brother out to play for a while."

"Yes, Master."

After slowly walking out of the side hall and out of the sight of James and Ancient One, Pietro suddenly disappeared in a blur, and in a few breaths he returned to Wanda, shouting excitedly:

"Wanda Wanda! I've already visited this place twice. Please accompany me to the place where all kinds of 'toys' are kept."

James' ears trembled slightly, and he heard Pietro's words word for word in the hall, with a bit of embarrassment on his face.

"Ahem, Ancient One. Does it really matter? Wanda's twin brother is not as obedient as her."

The Supreme Mage raised his hand to refill James' glass, played with the small folding fan in his hand, shook his head slightly and said:

"Things that are a bit dangerous are sealed with secrets. That child has no talent for magic, so it's okay to play with it. Wanda is even more measured."

"Well, besides seeing Wanda this time, I also want to ask you something."

After hearing this, Gu Yi slowly filled the purple teapot with spring water. There was no tone in his words, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

"Mr. Howlett, are there any secrets in this world that you don't know? There are only so many books in Kamal Taj's collection, and you have gone through all the ones I have read."

"Well, 'Phoenix Force', have you heard of it?"

James watched the Supreme Mage's hand knocking on the lid of the pot pause for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up. After a long while, Gu Yi finally said leisurely:

"So what came from the sky a few days ago, well, I did hear about it, but it wasn't from any ancient books or records, or even from this world. It came from the dark dimension."

Taking the teapot, James waited for Gu Yi's next words and did not rush to ask. Until the mage's eyes were confused for a moment, he seemed to have found a certain bead in his long memory.

".The Phoenix Power was called the 'Son of the Universe' in ancient times. He comes from the original universe and was born at the beginning of all things. He is a chaotic and immortal existence, eternal but impermanent."

Gu Yi paused as he spoke, as if he was an old man who always had to think about something several times before he could explain it clearly.

".He is the incarnation of all life and spiritual power in the original universe, symbolizing life and emotion. He is the connection point of the spirit and soul of all things that exist or will exist in the future, and is the creator and source of spiritual power."

Boom!

James watched the mage suddenly knead his hands, and without any warning, he built a ring-shaped arcane array in front of him, spinning and igniting wisps of black smoke. He gritted his teeth with a solemn expression and insisted on speaking almost word for word. Finished the last words.

".He is also the container and controller of the storage of life and emotional energy of future generations in the entire infinite multiverse!"

The formation disk in front of him suddenly exploded, and as Master Gu Yi finished his last words, the crackling sound of sparks and explosions sounded intensively, and after a few seconds, they finally dissipated.

After taking a long breath, Gu Yi's complexion was obviously a bit gloomy, so he picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Hey, look at you, don't you owe me a lot of favors by being like this? What the hell, you can just say a few words and make such a big show."

Although James spoke lightly and even joked, his narrowed black eyes were more serious than ever.

The two were silent for a long time. After Master Gu Yi gradually adjusted, he was as he was at the beginning. He didn't care at all that he had just paid a certain price, and continued in an indifferent and natural manner:

"Any knowledge can be obtained from the dark dimension, but you must be careful of the hidden traps and have the ability to bear the price. The reason why 'Phoenix' is no longer called the 'Son of the Universe' is because he has never been complete, even in a single The universe has always remained fragmented."

James thought about every word Gu Yi said just now, carefully chewed on its meaning, and asked half-guessing:

"He should be composed of two parts, life and soul, or life and emotions, so it is at least a state of separation in two?"

"Yes, but not entirely."

The mage's fingertips rubbed the edge of the stone lamp, and after a few circles, the remaining half cup of tea gradually turned into a ball of golden liquid.

As Gu Yi raised his hand and splashed the gold liquid into the air, the sparks exploded into countless pieces and quickly connected into lines of golden threads, forming a structure that looked like a star map and seemed to spread out from the center of a circle. Golden model.

The Supreme Mage pointed to the largest golden group in the middle of the model and spoke.

"The original universe is a legend. It is the beginning of everything and will eventually become the end of everything. From it, various and endless multiverses are continuously derived, just as the world we live in is a member of the multiverse. Of course. , maybe this is the original universe.”

The secret model continues to grow fine lines as the point in the middle shines, and each line can connect countless straight lines. The dots of light on it represent the birth of a parallel universe.

".In our world, the power of the 'Child of the Universe' should be divided into two parts: life and soul, and the 'Phoenix Power' is the part that represents emotions, spirit or emotions, etc., and has its own characteristics in the infinite multiverse. Only by theoretically integrating all the scattered Phoenix fragments can His fragments return to the complete 'Child of the Universe'."

"This aspect involves the difference between the power over the multiverse and the single universe. Like you, I only got a glimpse of these concepts from "The Notes of Agamotto"."

James hurriedly grasped the question he cared about most, propped himself up with both hands on the edge of the table, and thought to himself:

"Just talking about the universe we live in, how to distinguish the characteristics represented by the 'Phoenix Force', what kind of impact and changes it will bring, and what is its purpose."

"'Life' is pure and mysterious. Very few people know what it is and what shape or form it exists in. 'Phoenix' is the embodiment of emotion and spirit. It is also the most active and the most formidable force in the multiverse. , always full of desire, always passionate about destruction. And perhaps only the beings in the multiverse will know his purpose."

After Gu Yi finished speaking, he pondered for a moment, then asked with half certainty and half speculation:

"The child he found was probably the child named Jean Gray."

James nodded lightly. It was no surprise that the Supreme Mage could guess this. The two had been friends and even strategic partners for so many years, and they knew each other very well.

"That child is different from the simple spiritual power of your wife or Professor Xavier. I know that she can use invisible spiritual power to interfere with matter and condense it into vast energy forms. This is the most perfect host for the 'Phoenix Power'. He must have been actively looking for it.”

Gu Yi looked at James and was still silent. He rarely showed the thoughts and considerations that ordinary people have when doing things. In the end, he was defeated by reason and said seriously with a frosty face:

"No matter what state Jean Gray is in now, and what methods you use to stabilize the 'Phoenix', it must be temporary. No matter how strong she is and how hard she fights, she will eventually be ignited by the Phoenix. Desires are pushed into the abyss layer by layer, so that even the slightest desire will turn into unscrupulous means. Mr. Howlett, there is only one suggestion I can give you."

"—Seal her with me and banish her."

Thanks to pretty boy Yutangmao for the big reward~
