Beauty Serum

Due to the achievement of his soul, Delos, who is always full of energy, has always remained awake and thinking about how to solve the problem of the Phoenix Power.

However, due to the fact that the means he currently possesses are somewhat lacking and he has very little understanding of the Phoenix Force, he has not been able to achieve any good results even though his calculation and analysis capabilities are far superior to those in the past.

In the end, Delos, who really had no other solution, could only place his hope on Ancient One.

Although the magic power of wizards comes from the energy in the universe, but for the special energy of the Phoenix Force that has existed since the birth of the universe, wizards like Gu Yi who often deal with multi-dimensional universes may know how to deal with it.

"Calculating the time, Gu Yi should be recovering soon. Let's go within these two days."

With thoughts flashing in his mind, Delos put away the big knife in his hand and came to Charles' room.

He also needed to confirm Charles' condition before leaving. Now after one night, Charles' condition should be much better than before.

And the reality was just as Delos expected. When he saw Charles again, the latter had completely rejuvenated due to the transformation of the serum, becoming as young as 21 or [-] years old.The row of black hair has also grown several centimeters, thickened and curly, adding a bit of bohemianism that belongs exclusively to young people to Charles's already handsome face.

Although he was mentally prepared, Charles still couldn't help being surprised and lost consciousness when he saw the familiar yet unfamiliar young face through the bathroom mirror.

Seeing Charles's absent-minded look, Delos also understood very well that any old man who was about to enter the coffin would be so lost if he saw that he began to reverse growth and returned to the appearance of 21 or [-] years old after a day.

"I feel like I've traveled back in time."

Looking at himself in the mirror, Charles said with a complicated expression.

Not only his appearance, but his body and voice have returned to the posture he had in his 20s, and he is even much stronger than he was back then.

In fact, if there are no accidents, with the perfect blood and self-healing genes in the serum, as long as Charles eats and rests normally, he can continue to live like this 21-year-old until 1000, 2000, or even beyond. It will continue to live in this attitude for 1 years.

After Delos gave him some time to express his feelings, he asked the most critical question.

"How do you feel? Can you stand up?"

Charles was stunned at first, then lowered his head and touched his legs. After feeling the touch that he had not felt for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he supported the wheelchair with both hands, and the legs that had not been used for a long time were slightly One force...

Charles stood up slowly.

Although his legs would appear stiff and weak for a while even after they recovered due to a long period of inactivity, he did stand up.

He stood up on his own legs without relying on anyone's support or crutches.

Charles tried to walk a few steps first, and the result was very gratifying. His feet were a little stiff when moving, but it was obvious that he could walk normally and could say goodbye to the wheelchair for good.

"Congratulations, Charles."

Delos patted Charles on the shoulder, feeling happy for his friend from the bottom of his heart.

Charles was filled with excitement at this time, and looked at Delos with gratitude in his eyes: "No, I want to thank you. Thank you, Delos."

Delos said nothing, just smiled and accepted the other person's gratitude.

After a while, Delos got down to business with Charles.

"Have you discovered the second personality in Qin?"

Charles glanced at Delos in surprise at first, and then realized that Delos, who had already achieved a soul, could scan his consciousness regardless of the mental defense of a person with mental superpowers.

Delos nodded and said: "That second personality, the Black Phoenix, is a bit dangerous. I noticed that the mental chain you imposed on Shang Ming already has a lot of cracks. Although these cracks are enough to last for a long time, but To be on the safe side, you’d better re-strengthen those shackles to prevent Qin’s body from being stripped away.”

Charles has no objection to this. Although he has always adhered to the moral code of not interfering with other people's spiritual consciousness in this way, the Dark Phoenix is ​​too dangerous, and this special situation can only be treated specially.

"Charles, one more thing you need to know is that the real threat inside Jean is not the Dark Phoenix."

Thinking of the fragments of the Phoenix Force that had appeared and disappeared next to Qin's consciousness before, Delos felt it was necessary to remind Charles, and told him everything he had seen before.

"Although the Dark Phoenix is ​​a bit dangerous, in my opinion it is relatively easy to solve. But the energy that led to the birth of the Dark Phoenix, I think that thing is self-aware. It sensed that I was vigilant, so when it was discovered, it It was hidden in an instant.”

Delos did not tell Charles the name 'Phoenix Force', because once he said it, it would be difficult to explain why he knew that kind of power was called the Phoenix Force, so he simply expressed his thoughts.

"That thing is very sensitive, so I suggest that you and I stay put for the next two days. The day after tomorrow, I will ask a friend to come over and try to see if we can expel or seal that thing."

Charles nodded solemnly. Even though this rejuvenated man had a lot of life experience, this matter was too big to allow him to be careless.

"So what you're saying is that before all this happens, I'd better reinforce Dark Phoenix's 'mental prison' immediately?" Charles looked at Delos, his eyes full of questions.

"Yes, but I have to be there to monitor the whole process with my soul vision. After all, that thing seems to be more or less concerned about me." Delos nodded.

He really couldn't understand why Charles took care of those mental locks

The chain is called a mental prison, and this naming ability makes him want to complain.But this is not important. What is important is that they still need to do some insurance before that.

"You only need to talk to Qin to seal the secondary personality in her body, and don't say anything else."

Delos emphasized.

If he guessed correctly, the Phoenix Force could easily contact the seals of Charles' men, but it was just because Qin's body was too fragile.Once Jean dies, the Phoenix Force will lose this host with extremely high potential.

This situation cannot be avoided even if the Dark Phoenix comes out, so in order to protect this host, the Phoenix Power will destroy Charles' seal bit by bit.

But if it knew what Delos and Charles were thinking, the Phoenix Force might instantly undo the seal of the Dark Phoenix and let the Dark Phoenix kill them to avoid being sealed.During this period, it is estimated that the Phoenix Force will also be looking for new hosts.Once the Dark Phoenix dies, the Phoenix Power will automatically leave the body and hide in other people's bodies.

Judging from the hiding ability of this fragment of the Phoenix Power, if it were to hide, not even Delos, or even the Ancient One himself, would be able to discover it.

"That's no problem, but I have to tell Qin some of the truth in advance."

Charles said with sadness on his face: "She doesn't even know that there is a dark sub-personality in her body. I can hide that there are other culprits in her body, but the matter of Dark Phoenix cannot be hidden."

Delos didn't have any objections to this, but Charles seemed to remember something. He watched Delos open his mouth to say something, but he seemed a little hesitant about telling Delos.

"Charles, what do you want to say?"

Delos was a little curious and said, "It must be important to make you show such an expression, right?"

"Yeah, I guess it's important."

Looking at Delos, Charles only felt that his lips were dry and his tone was a little uncertain. It took him a long time to say: "That's it. In fact, more than half a year ago, there was a crack in the mental cage I built for Black Phoenix. Qin His abilities were out of control at that time, and Scott was seriously injured..." (ps: some readers may have forgotten that this part is the plot of Chapters 265 and 266 of this article, so I won't go into details here)

Charles told the truth, while Delos's expression became more solemn the more he listened.

"Qin's dream at that time had many contents, including yours, a volcano ejecting purple lava, and a clown..."

As Charles spoke, he looked at Delos, who had a solemn expression, and comforted him: "This shouldn't be a precognitive ability. Although the clown and Batman did appear in Jean's dream, the blond man with the round shield did not appear at all. Never appeared before. This should be just a coincidence, and..."

"No, he has already appeared, but he is still sleeping."

Just when Charles was about to continue speaking, Delos suddenly interrupted Charles.

"What did you say?"

Charles's eyes were filled with disbelief, and he stared into Delos's eyes, trying to see the 'I'm kidding you' expression in his eyes.

"You should be familiar with the man holding the round shield. That's Captain America, Steve Rogers. Don't look at me like that. He is indeed still alive, but he has been frozen in the ice. I have been there for several months. I worked with S.H.I.E.L.D. to rescue him."

Delos looked into Charles's eyes and said seriously: "According to the information I got from hacking into S.H.I.E.L.D., the reason he hasn't woken up yet is because he stayed in the ice for too long and was mentally and physically traumatized. , so he needs to recover slowly during rest. But judging from his recovery ability, he should wake up soon during this time."

Even Kara Zor-El suffered some damage from the advanced protection measures in the Kryptonian spaceship, let alone Captain America, who was in an extremely harsh environment?Being able to fully recover from just a few months of sleep is already a miracle in the eyes of the world.

"The reason why the clown didn't come out to cause trouble is because I killed him and made his bones shatter into pieces." Delos sighed and said slowly: "I changed the future, so the clown, one of the protagonists of the matter, can never appear again."

"Dillos, you are overthinking this. This is just a coincidence."

Although the expression on Charles's face was a little shaken, he still firmly believed that this was not true.

One or two coincidences are normal. This kind of thing has not happened before, but the probability is very low and it is not easy to meet.

Seeing that Charles still believed in his own ideas, Delos didn't know what to say.Rationally speaking, he understood the other party's thoughts, but in fact this should be true.

According to what he learned from comics and movies in his previous life, the Phoenix Force does have certain precognitive abilities.Moreover, this kind of prediction of the future is all related to the host itself, but this ability cannot be used at all times. Generally, this kind of thing will only happen before the host is approaching a big crisis.

What's more, as far as Delos knows, three of the things he encountered have been verified.

Metal giants, clowns, and… falling from the sky.

"The first time is a coincidence, the second time is a coincidence, but what about the third time?"

Delos thought for a while, and finally took out the fine gold sword that he had designed not long ago from the space ring, and held it flat in front of Charles.

"Is this the weird-shaped giant sword you saw in Qinmeng?"

The moment this fine gold sword appeared, Charles' expression froze.He stared hard at the big knife in Delos' hand, and his rosy face turned pale.

The metal giant falling from the sky was obviously a Cybertronian.The Joker confronts Batman and Captain America, and the golden sword in the hands of Delos.

Whether it is coincidence or chance, if it appears three times, it is already inevitable.

The dream that Jean had was a precognitive dream.
