Bab 71: Jean Grey
Alex's actions remained a mystery to others, but Charles and Eric had their suspicions. These two individuals were far from foolish, and Alex's actions didn't go unnoticed, even if they lacked concrete evidence.
"Alex, my friend, I hope you can remain true to yourself despite the power you possess. I've already lost my brother Eric, and I don't want to lose you as well," Charles expressed, his gaze penetrating. If Alex were to pose a threat to the world, Charles would not hesitate to intervene.
"Reversing the future... Next, it's the storyline of Wolverine's transformation." Alex, standing atop a tall building, observed the scenery below, gently swirling the wine glass in his hand.
"The transformation of Wolverine is inevitable, but... Apocalypse..." Alex mused deeply, shifting his focus towards the far southeast, Africa.
The Wolverine storyline did not necessitate Alex's intervention, and the intriguing aspect of a certain "Jean Grey" was worth observing but not urgent.
"At this moment, one of the most powerful Mutant, 'Jean Grey,' is still just a child."
Reflecting on the tragic tale of "Phoenix," Alex felt a sense of duty—a mission to "save the poor girl."
"Raven... huh? Are those folks going 'crazy'?"
Using his psychic abilities, Alex sensed that Raven, Emma, and Jessica were enjoying their time in Paris, the capital of romance.
Alex grinned, "If that's the case, then I'll handle this myself. It's an excellent opportunity to get more powerful."
With a step forward, Alex harnessed his teleportation abilities, swiftly traversing the vast distance.
...
This was a quiet town.
The Greys, a young couple, and their six-year-old daughter, "Jean Grey," led an ordinary and serene life in this town.
Unbeknownst to the young Greys, their daughter would one day become a force to be reckoned with.
"Is Jean Grey still at school?" Alex wondered aloud as he observed the peaceful scene.
Releasing his psychic power, Alex scanned the surroundings and discovered that the six-year-old "Phoenix" was attending the town's elementary school, having just entered the first grade.
"Who would have thought such an innocent girl will become the dark phoenix!"
Alex sighted, shaking his head, and proceeded to knock on the door of the Grey residence.
"Who is it?" Mr. Grey inquired, eyeing the handsome young man at the door.
"It's about your daughter. I believe you've noticed that she's different," Alex spoke gently.
"Who are you?" The Greys exhibited clear wariness towards Alex.
"My name is Alex Stark. I presume you've heard of Stark Industries. Your daughter is like me." Alex smiled faintly, twirling a coin in his hand.
The Grey couple looked taken aback. Jean, had already displayed remarkable differences even at a young age. The Greys had noticed it long ago. Observing Alex's abilities and learning about his background, they discussed for a while before addressing Alex.
"Jean is still at school."
"Don't worry about that. I'll enroll her in the best school and teach her how to control her abilities. You're always welcome to visit her, and I'll take good care of her," Alex reassured with a smile.
After much hesitation, the Greys accepted Alex's offer, who promptly handed them a million dollars as a gesture of sincerity. He explained that every Mutant is valuable and assured the Greys that he had no intention of harming their daughter.
The Greys provided the name of Jean's school, although Alex didn't need it; he knew where the school was.
.....
Arriving at the school gate, Alex strolled onto the campus lawn, where he spotted a little girl sitting under a tree, engrossed in painting.
With fiery red hair, big bright eyes, and a hint of baby fat, the future's terrifying "Phoenix" appeared as nothing more than an innocent little girl.
Alex effortlessly perplexed the guard at the door using his psychic powers and entered.
All he needed to do now was to take this little one away.
"What are you painting?" Alex inquired.
"Flowers!" Jean Grey responded without raising her head, the paintbrush in her hand continuing its strokes on the drawing board.
Yet, the flowers she painted were a vivid shade of red, resembling a blazing flame.
"The flowers you paint... are very special!" Alex marveled silently. Even without Awakening, the influence of the Phoenix had permeated every aspect of Jean.
Jean continued to paint, Alex observing quietly.
In her hands, the flower gradually transformed, ultimately taking on the hazy form of a fiery phoenix.

Bab 72: New Ability
Mind-shifting, telepathy, flight, matter decomposition, time and space manipulation—Phoenix's terrifying power encompasses the capacity to destroy the world. Despite the diverse abilities, they all stem from the core—spiritual power.
It occurs to Alex that perhaps he, too, could attain such world-shattering power. His expression fluctuates, contemplating that such power transcends humanity, elevating one to a godlike status—the kind of power that existed thousands of years ago, the deity above all living beings.
Unfortunately, the Marvel universe is intricate, and Alex is uncertain about the existence of cosmic entities like the One-Above-All or the Living Tribunal. The power of a Level 5 Omega Mutant falls short.
"Sir, are you a new teacher?" Jean, finishing her painting, looked up at Alex with bright eyes, a hint of golden-red color betraying the concealed Phoenix force within her.
"In a way," Alex replied with a smile.
"Mom said I can't leave with strangers. People who want to abduct kids are usually human traffickers," Jean remarked.
"Well, let me talk to the principal of your school and have him call your parents. I'll bring your whole family to live in New York," Alex sighted, realizing he had unwittingly been mistaken for a child abductor.
Under Alex's management, Jean Grey's family swiftly traveled by train to the outskirts of New York, where Alex's grand manor awaited. The vast estate housed only housekeepers and a few part-time servants, and Alex contemplated the idea of welcoming other children like Jean to infuse some liveliness into the mansion.
"Level five power, the pinnacle strength in this world."
Settling Jean Grey's family in his manor, Alex seated himself on the living room sofa, extracting a strand of Jean Grey's hair.
The fiery red strands gleamed with clarity, appearing as if a flowing flame ran through them.
In this moment, Alex felt a tinge of excitement. What would happen to the abilities of a fifth-level Mutant after undergoing systematic enhancement?
"Gather the genes," Alex chuckled, tossing Jean Grey's hair into the system.
[Gathering]
[Gathering is successful. Shall we proceed with strengthening]
"Strengthen." Alex gave the command.
[Strengthening]
[The strengthening is successful]
[Starting Integration]
Alex's expression grew more serious. Jean's abilities were already formidable, and further strengthening would undoubtedly result in a considerable augmentation.
Beads of sweat formed on Alex's forehead, and his entire body's cells underwent a process of disintegration and rebirth.
This continued for about half an hour.
Alex's clothes clung to him, soaked in sweat. His expression reflected exhaustion, and he murmured, "Truly befitting a Level 5 Mutant's ability. After strengthening, her power has intensified. Once limited to controlling matter and energy at the molecular level, now she can manipulate them at the sub atomic level."
"I am now equivalent to a human-shaped nuclear bomb. I can create a nuclear explosion at any time as long as I want," a glint flashed in Alex's eyes.
Truly fitting for a phoenix, an entity of terror!
Especially after being enhanced by the system, Alex's powers had grown even more formidable.
"Manipulating matter and energy at the atomic level, meaning I can alter the atoms of matter and rearrange their sequence to achieve the desired effect?" Alex raised his hand, and instantly, the diamond ring on his finger decomposed into a pile of graphite.
Under Alex's control, these graphites re-synthesized into a larger diamond.
"That's it—altering the characteristics of atoms to achieve the ability to decompose, combine, and even replace other substances." Alex's eyes gleamed as a stone turned into gold. This was the underlying principle.
This had already reached the Creator-level ability.
"In the future, anyone who dares to provoke me will receive a small nuclear bomb as a reward, or I can turn them into atoms, or change the atomic sequence of their body, turning them from a human into frogs?" Alex's lips curled slightly, feeling that in gaining Jean, he hadn't just acquired an ally but also a remarkably powerful ability.
Alex dared to declare that at this very moment, he could stand against even Thanos in the future.
