Chapter 268 "Children of the Universe" and the Mysteries of the Multiverse

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

  Boom!

   "If you lose your temper with your father with such vigor, why don't you come out like a human being, Falk! The MIT education is to let you invent a drinking machine and then play 'bumper cars' all the way home!"

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

  He is already over sixty years old, just looking at this energetic posture when he gets angry, it is not a problem to live another twenty years.

  Wife Maria pushed Howard out of the house quickly, urged him to go about his own affairs, and tried to end the quarrel.

   While undoing his tie wheezingly, Old Stark got into the car and ordered very naturally:

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

   "Uh well, yes sir."

  The young new driver was stunned for two seconds, and quickly reacted and started the car quickly. Without his explanation, Mr. Stark sighed slowly, and tidied up the tie that had just been pulled away little by little.

   "Sorry Alan, get used to it"

  The driver just shook his head and smiled and didn't speak anymore. The Rolls-Royce entered a long silence and quiet.

  Howard thought of the past moments, he would definitely vomit bitterness with Jarvis, listen to his elegant and calm relief for a moment, and then give a few well-measured suggestions.

   Thinking of the old buddy Edwin Jarvis who passed away not long ago, old Stark felt as if a hole had been gouged out and filled indiscriminately with ice cubes.

  And Tony, who had a deep affection for Jarvis's housekeeper since he was a child, may feel even more uncomfortable than him.

  Stark gradually realized that he was a little too harsh on his drunken son last night. Tony still hasn't woken up from his sadness, but he's used to covering up his inner thoughts with a cynical attitude and laughing and cursing.

   While he was puckering his old face and thinking 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 was somewhat familiar.

  I wanted to ask the driver to stop the car, but when I thought about how that gentleman would take the children for a boring stroll in the morning, and the place I was going to today was extremely secretive and important, I couldn't let his temper delay me at all.

   Urging, the car sped down the avenue on Black Street.

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

   "Yeah! Remember Grandpa."

   In the center of Greenwich Village, New York, next to the road on Black Street.

  James Howlett strolled leisurely with his little grandson, Pietro Lanciel, who looked only six or seven years old but had short thick silver-white hair.

   The little guy was licking the ice cream, his right hand was raised high and finally able to touch James's hanging fingertips, and he agreed in a childish voice, his two short legs were jumping happily.

   More than half a year later, Pietro has grown taller, and his naughty skills have also increased.

From being a resident of "Wolf Mountain Town" at the foot of the old house, to being a teacher and classmate every day after being sent to the college, the name of Pietro Lanciel has become the most frequently mentioned and most troublesome name of the Howlett family. vocabulary.

  James looked ahead and would soon reach No. 117 Black Street, and he was still a little worried and reminded again:

   "Also, don't touch things randomly. Well, it's best not to touch anything. There are many dangerous objects in the mystic's sanctuary. If you don't pay attention, 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, but on the surface he pretended to be obedient and calm, and nodded repeatedly in response.

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

  Picking at the hem of his grandfather's clothes, the little guy finished eating the last bite of the crispy roll at the end of the ice cream, opened his arms wide, and was embraced by James.

The architectural style of the Sanctuary of New York is obviously not the same as that of the surrounding buildings. Except for the beige and tan stones of similar colors, the mystics re-changed it into a square arch, and 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 a distinctive shape, and many photographers or curious people try to enter visit.

  But people will always think of something important when they have such thoughts, and temporarily postpone the plan to visit No. 117 mansion, and then naturally ignore this point.

  James hugged Pietro and tapped on the door knocker. The door, which looked like oak, sounded like gold and iron when knocked on it.

  The mystic mages inside have been prepared for a long time. Master Li, who has known each other for decades, has already opened a spark portal leading to the snowy peak and is waiting in the hall.

When he came to the core Sanctuary of Karma Taj, James didn't dare to let go of Pietro in his arms easily. He let his calves throb like a small motor with high frequency tremors and did not relax. Sifang side hall for drinking tea.

James smiled and put Pietro down until he saw Wanda Lanshere, who was wearing a light blue mini mage robe and wearing a light blue mini mage robe, waiting eagerly outside the hall. In the blink of an eye, a silver "little whirlwind" appeared They kept spinning around Wanda.

  Bronze bells, stone lamps, wooden platforms, futons.

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

  The little girl was obviously showing some self-expression, her little face was flushed and she made tea meticulously. She made a cup for her master and grandfather each, and put it in front of her younger brother who was scratching his head like a monkey.

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

  Looking at the well-behaved Wanda's little pink and jade face, James couldn't help leaning forward and kissing her forehead in love, and said loudly in the little girl's obviously restrained but high-spirited smile:

   "How did Wanda learn in the past six months? I didn't cause you any trouble."

   "It's okay, no trouble."

  Master Gu Yi's indifferent and cold face was betrayed by those soft eyes like water, and when he took a cup of tea to drink, he finally couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

  Some mages used to hear playful laughter from the main hall. After stopping to look, they realized that it was the supreme mage who was playing with his little apprentice Wanda.

  Pietro was obviously a little impatient with such a quiet and boring atmosphere, and his little hand on the table shook a phantom. James looked down and stopped his movements aggrieved.

   "Wanda, let's take your brother out for a while, just stroll around."

   "Yes, Master."

  Walking slowly out of the side hall and away from the vision of James and Gu Yi, Pietro suddenly disappeared in a blur, and returned to Wanda in a few breaths, shouting excitedly:

   "Wanda Wanda! I've visited this place twice, so you can accompany me to the place where all kinds of 'toys' are placed."

  James trembled slightly at the base of his ears, and when he heard Pietro's words verbatim in the hall, his face was somewhat embarrassed.

   "Cough, Gu Yi. Is it really okay? Wanda's twin brother is not as obedient as she is."

  The supreme mage raised his hand to refill a glass for James, played with the small folding fan in his hand and shook his head gently:

   "Things that are a little dangerous are blocked by secret methods. That child has no talent for magic, so it's okay to play with them. Wanda is even more measured."

   "Well then, besides looking at Wanda this time, I also want to ask you something."

  After hearing this, Gu slowly refilled the teapot with spring water, without the slightest tone in his words, but he was a little surprised.

   "Mr. Howlett, what are the secrets in this world that you don't know. There are only so many books in Karma Taj's collection, and you have read all the books I have read."

   "Hmm, 'The Force of the Phoenix', have you heard of it?"

  James watched the hand of the Supreme Mage knocking down the lid of the pot froze for half a beat, and his eyes suddenly lit up. After a while, Gu Yi finally said leisurely:

   "So what came from outside the sky a few days ago, well, I did hear about it, but I didn't know it 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 dazed for a moment, it seemed that he had found a certain bead from the long memory.

   ". The power of the phoenix was called the 'son of the universe' in ancient times. He came from the primordial universe and was born at the beginning of all things. He is a chaotic and immortal, eternal but impermanent existence."

  Gu Yi stopped talking, as if he was an old man, he always had to think about something a few times before he could explain it clearly.

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

   Bah bah!

James watched the mage suddenly knead the formula with both hands, and without warning, he built a ring-shaped secret art array in front of him, spinning and burning black smoke, clenching his teeth with a solemn face, insisting almost every word That's the last word.

  “. Yes. He is also the entire infinite multiverse. The life and emotional energy of the future generations, the storage container and the ruler!”

  The array in front of him suddenly exploded, and as Master Gu Yi's last words fell, crackling sparks exploded densely, and finally dissipated after a few seconds.

   He breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Yi's complexion was obviously gloomy, and he picked up the tea cup and drank it down in one gulp.

   "Hey, look at you, don't you owe me a lot of favors for making this look like this. What the hell, it's such a big deal to say a few words."

  Although James spoke relaxedly and even joked, his narrowed black eyes were more focused than ever before.

  The two of them were silent for a long time, Master Gu Yi gradually adjusted and returned to his original appearance, not caring about the price he had paid just now, and continued indifferently and naturally:

"You can get any knowledge from the dark dimension, but be careful of the hidden traps inside and have the ability to bear the price. The reason why the 'Phoenix' is no longer called the 'Child of the Universe' is because he has never been complete, even in a single The universe is always in a state of fragmentation."

  James thought about every word that Gu Yi said just now, chewed the meaning carefully, and asked half guessing:

   "He should be composed of two parts, life and mind, or life and emotion, emotion, so it is at least a split state of two parts?"

   "Yes, but not quite."

  The mage rubbed the edge of the stone cup with his fingertips, 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 golden liquid into the air, countless pieces of sparks were quickly connected together to form golden lines, forming a star map that seemed to spread out from a central root. Can Kim model.

  The supreme mage pointed to the largest gold cluster in the middle of the model, and spoke eloquently.

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

  The secret technique model grows fine lines with the shining point in the middle, 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 'Children of the Universe' should be divided into two parts, the life and the soul, and the 'Phoenix Power' is the part that represents emotions, spirits or emotions, etc., and has its own in the infinite multiverse. His fragments can only be returned to the complete 'Children of the Universe' by theoretically integrating all the scattered Phoenix fragments."

  “. This aspect will involve the difference between the power of transcending the multiverse and the single universe. Like you, I only got a glimpse of these concepts from "Agomoto's Handbook." That’s all.”

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

   "Just talking about the universe we are in, how to distinguish the characteristics represented by the 'Phoenix Force', what impact and change it will bring, and what is his purpose."

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

  Gu Yi pondered for a moment after speaking, then asked with half certainty and half guesswork:

   "He found the child named Jean Gray, right?"

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

"That child is different from your wife or Professor Xavier's pure spiritual power. I know that she can use invisible spiritual power to interfere with matter, and can condense into a vast energy form. This is the most perfect host for the 'Phoenix Force'. It must have been actively looking for it.”

  Gu Yi looked at James and was still silent. It was rare for ordinary people to think about things when they were doing things. In the end, they were still defeated by reason. He said seriously with a frosty face:

"No matter what state Qin Gray is in now, and what methods you have used 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 the slightest bit of desire will become unscrupulous, Mr. Howlett, there is only one suggestion I can give you."

   "—Seal with me and exile her."

   Thanks for the big reward from Liangzai Yujumao~
