บท 351: Phoenix Saga Part 10

The X-Men also heave a sigh of relief upon hearing the Phoenix's words.
Lilandra, on the other hand, looks at the Phoenix without completely believing her.
"How long will it take for Jean to heal from her injuries?" Alex asked the Phoenix.
Releasing a majestic aura, she answers:
"Between two to three months, her injuries are very serious and that is enough time to heal her"
Alex looks at the Phoenix and indifferently asks:
"So what are you going to do from now on?"
The Phoenix sinks into her thoughts.
She never understood the mortal way of life, but she has to stay as she has to take care of the M'kraan Crystal.
"I will stay on Earth because I have a mission to fulfill, to take care of the M'kraan Crystal that Shi'ar woman hid" she said to everyone in a solemn way while looking at Lilandra.
Alex nods his head and says:
"You will stay here in Genosha, it is too dangerous that you are traveling the world"
The Phoenix gives Alex a penetrating look but when she sees him raise his hand in her direction, she panics and quickly nods her head.
"You're right, staying here is the best option for me" the Phoenix said trying to appear calm.
Everyone present looks at the Phoenix strangely and is surprised how Alex can tame her.
Lilandra is also enjoying seeing the Phoenix in that kind of situation and begins to get more curious about Alex Wayne.
"About the M'kraan Crystal you speak of, you don't have to worry. A few minutes ago, my daughter took care of a Shi'ar fleet that wanted to attack Earth, so I don't think they'll cause us trouble for a while" Alex said as he patted Est on the head.
The Phoenix, the X-Men, and Lilandra are shocked to hear Alex's words.
Alex's group is unfazed as they know of Est's capabilities.
The Phoenix looks at Est with a face full of shock.
She hadn't noticed the girl, but now that she sees her, she realizes that this girl is a cosmic entity and her power rivals her own.
She doesn't understand how this girl is Alex's daughter, but when she feels her gaze, she nods her head.
"Looks like I don't have to worry then" the Phoenix said.
The X-Men and Lilandra are confused and look curiously at the girl next to Alex.
Charles looks at Alex wanting to know about the situation.
"She's a very special kind of Mutant, you could say she's one of the most powerful" Alex lied about Est's identity with great calm.
After all, Est's situation is very special and not many should know that she was the Cosmic Cube.
Charles nods in understanding.
After the situation calmed down, Alex asks the Phoenix:
"Do you know where the M'kraan Crystal is?"
The Phoenix is silent for a few seconds and with a strange look, looks at Alex and asks:
"Don't you already know where it is?"
The Phoenix had just sensed the M'kraan Crystal and realized that it was being protected by an energy field, and that energy resembled that of the girl next to Alex.
Putting those things together, she knew that Alex already knows where the M'kraan Crystal is.
Lilandra is surprised, she had hidden the Crystal in a very difficult place to detect but it has already been found, that puts a bitter smile on her face.
"You don't have to worry about the M'kraan Crystal, Est has placed an indestructible energy barrier on it, even the Phoenix would suffer to destroy it, right?" Alex said, noticing Lilandra's expression.
The Phoenix nods solemnly, because it is true.

Alex Wayne POV
After persuading the Phoenix, the X-Men decided to stay for a few days and then return home, since they knew I would take good care of Jean's body and they couldn't leave the mansion too long.
But to my surprise, Lilandra decided to stay in Genosha even after the X-Men left.
I didn't refuse.
And before I left the lab, I asked Jane to look up the coordinates of the Shi'ar planet in the Dark Elf ship database, just in case.

Shi'ar Empire
Royal Palace
Sitting on the throne was a man whose face was distorted with anger.
This man is Emperor D'ken and he was currently furious.
He had sent a fleet of the best Shi'ar soldiers to help Davan Shakari capture his traitorous sister.
But after a few hours, he received the news that more than 90% of the fleet was destroyed.
And the culprit of that massacre was a fucking Mutant girl.
He was angry but fearful, he had known for a long time that this planet was dangerous.
He has always wanted to destroy it but due to the interest of the Kree and the Skrull for that planet, they have always stopped him.
He was the man who will rule the entire universe and when he gets the M'kraan Crystal, he will have absolute power.
But for now, even though he couldn't destroy that planet, he would crush and slaughter those who protect his sister and no one will be able to stop him.
"You don't have to worry my lord, we will always carry out your orders" a man who was kneeling in front of him said.
This person is Kallark, also known as Gladiator and he is the leader of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard.
Looking at Kallark, some of D'ken's anger subsides and he says:
"Kallark, get ready, in two days we will go to Earth"
This surprises Kallark and he quickly asks:
"Are you sure to go, my lord?"
D'ken puts on a solemn expression and answers:
"Yes, we can't waste any time, at least we know that Lilandra has hidden the M'kraan Crystal on Earth. If I get my hands on it, no one will oppose me"
Kallark says nothing more.
A maniacal grin forms on D'ken's face at the thought of the M'kraan Crystal.
