Magneto was incredibly angry now. Pietro's words meant he had asked Wanda to change reality. A reality where everything was false. A reality that wasn't theirs. Erik attacked Peitro in his anger.
Pietro ran fast to dodge his incoming attacks. Erik used metal all around to catch him. Pietro was fast but not as fast as Flash, so at the end the power of Erik reigned supreme and his metal bats caught up to him.
Erik beat Pietro violently, breaking all his bones. Especially his legs. This showed how much anger Magneto had. The notion that their current reality wasn't even true made him almost vomit . He couldn't believe that his own son would do something like this.
Erik forgot that, it was him who also advocated the murder of his own daughter. As John had pointed out before, they all had God complex.
Wanda on the other hand was having a mental breakdown. She was in tears and on her knees.
"Stop it dad.. Stop... Stop." Wanda screamed as she saw his brother crawling on her arms. His legs were broken beyond recognition and he was bleeding from several places. He had been fighting the Avengers before and now he had been beaten brutally by Erik.
As all of this was going on an arrow came flying and hit right at her back. Barton, who had been missing from all the fight, had been waiting for this opportunity. And now finally he got one.
The arrow had hit its mark.
"Why did you do that Clint?" Wanda asked, turning around.
"You ask me why? You dare ask me why? After everything your actions caused." As he said that the arrow lodged on her back got obliterated. And the next moment, Wanda made Clint vanish too.
Clint died again.
This time being obliterated to nothingness. But surprisingly the new suit given by John remained. But nobody noticed that point as all were too scared to even move.
That small move by Wanda established who was the actual boss here.
"Look at us. Look at us dad. We are not the next step... We are not Gods as much as we want to be one... This is enough and everything stops now." Wanda screamed as she was finding it very hard to control her sanity.
The Chaos magic in her had overwhelmed her and she had no idea how to control it. And all the emotional turmoil going on added more to her suffering.
"no more mutants."
And thus one of the most infamous words of the marvel universe was spoken. This changed the reality of Earth-616 forever. The power was so huge that even Thor and Strange from John's universe felt it.
The mutant kind whose number was in the millions vanished. Those words took the powers possessed by the mutant kind away from them. Those words didn't actually kill the mutants.

John had finally reached the place where the voice was directing him. It was in a valley in a country in Western Europe. This valley looked beautiful, untouched by human civilization.
John floated down to the exact location. Then he used magic to drill the ground. After drilling for a few metres he stopped.
This was the place where the voice was coming from. And when John got to see what exactly was calling him he trembled.
Never in his wildest dreams he expected the thing that called him was this small thing. It was an egg.
The egg looked bigger than normal bird eggs. Bigger than ostriches. Such an egg had never appeared on Earth. And this egg only appears rarely in all of the multiverse.
There can only be one such egg at a time.
"Did you call me?" John asked. John was excited to say the least. He knew what this egg was. If the egg had called him, it meant that it had chosen John.
"Yes." a voice in John's mind said.
"Do you want to follow me?" John asked.
"Yes. For now and eternity. Only you have the proper power to hold me." the voice said.
"I understand." John said as he took the heavy egg of the ground with his own hands. After touching the egg, his eyes looked like it caught on fire.
But surprisingly John didn't feel any pain. The fire was special. More special than John had ever come across before. As the fire dimmed his eyes looked totally different now.
Instead of pupils, John had a tattoo of a bird on both his eyes. And the bird looked like it was burning on fire. It looked beautiful and mesmerising.
Yes, the egg was the egg of Phoenix Force. One of the primary Gods of Marvel multiverse. The Phoenix has chosen John to be its new host.
Like Jean Grey, Scott Summers and Polaris, John would be the new host of Phoenix Force. Of course after the egg hatches.
