Chapter 249 - Chapter 249: Phoenix Rises

"Raven, Scott, what happened?"

Mystique Raven came to Sebastian with a serious expression on her face. She said urgently. "Sebastian, something terrible has happened at the academy. Jean Grey has exploded with powerful strength for unknown reasons. She has hurt many students badly.

So far she has killed several police officers and soldiers. If this continues, the trust that mutants and humans have just built up will be completely gone."

"Where is she now?"

Shaking her head, Raven said with worry. "I do not know her location. Her current abilities far exceed our understanding of mutant abilities. Even Apocalypse from many years ago could not compare to Jean's power level now.

Also before we came here, Charles Xavier asked me to tell you something. If possible, please ask other members of the Illuminati to come with you."

"Okay I understand the situation!"

Obviously Professor Charles Xavier was calling in the favor owed to him by the other members of the Illuminati. He wanted to invite other members of the Illuminati to come and help. It could be seen that in Charles's view, this matter was very serious and dangerous.

Without any hesitation, Sebastian immediately contacted the other Illuminati members.

After a brief explanation of the situation, as Sebastian expected, the only people who could come were Tony Stark and Reed Richards.

Although Namor longed to explore the parallel universe, particularly to investigate the oceans there, the unresolved issues surrounding the hybrid Atlanteans and further human contact prevented Namor from leaving his duties.

Black Bolt as usual was busy building the Inhuman Nation on their moon city. To prevent those Inhumans who had joined the Shadow Council from causing trouble or engaging in other activities, Black Bolt remained there. He was unable to leave for long.

"Raven, Scott, let us wait a moment. I think they will be here soon."

Raven and Scott nodded in understanding. They sat in Sebastian's office with him. They were awaiting the arrival of Tony and Reed.

Because this was an Illuminati matter, Reed arrived without the rest of the Fantastic Four. Instead he arrived in a helicopter piloted by Tony. It was hovering over Hogwarts.

Once Sebastian had opened an entrance through Hogwarts's protective shield, Tony descended in his helicopter.

The moment the helicopter touched down on the ground, it transformed into a cloud of nanobots like dust. They swarmed into Tony's watch before vanishing without a trace.

Looking at Sebastian who looked a little surprised, Tony chuckled. He said with a hint of pride. "This is the prototype of the storage magic circuit you helped me build. It can carry a large amount of equipment. But I did not know what equipment I would need this time. So I brought all the nanobots I have made so far. Even if it is to form Iron Legion soldiers, I can create over a hundred. That is more than enough for this mission."

"Quality is what matters this time. Quantity does not matter as much."

Tony said confidently while raising an eyebrow. "Do not worry about that. We have quality too. Whatever equipment or suit you need, I can make it instantly with nanotechnology. No problem at all."

As Tony finished speaking, Reed said impatiently. "I have been looking forward to visiting another universe for a while. Let us go now!"

"Wait I want to go back too."

With that statement, Wanda changed into her own clothes. She joined the others.

Looking at Wanda, Sebastian immediately said to her. "Wanda, you should stay here and help me guard Hogwarts. We can handle the other things."

Walking in front of Sebastian, Wanda took Sebastian's hand gently. She whispered to Sebastian. "Sebastian, I know you are worried about the problem of Chthon finding me. But I have lived in that world for so long without any problems. It is impossible for problems to arise immediately when I go back this time right?

Besides my father Magneto and my friends are there. I cannot just watch them face the most dangerous mutant in history and be indifferent. So I must go back with you."

Looking into Wanda's pleading eyes, Sebastian could see the determination in them. After taking a deep breath, Sebastian nodded and said. "Okay let us go back together. But let us make it clear in advance. You cannot be too far away from me. That way if any problem occurs, I can help you immediately. Agreed?"

Hearing this, Wanda immediately smiled brightly. She nodded and said to Sebastian. "No problem. Do not worry about me."

As soon as Wanda finished speaking, a silver phantom appeared beside Sebastian and Wanda. It was Quicksilver Pietro who had been working with the Avengers recently.

"I am definitely not going to be left out of this kind of adventure. I will go back with you all."

"Pietro, are you done with your Avengers duties?"

"I took some time off. I just heard from my sister about this situation. So I immediately requested time off and came back. It did not take long to get here."

"Okay let us go. Let us go to the Space Tower right away."

Sebastian immediately led everyone to the Space Tower. Before entering, Sebastian entrusted the Hogwarts affairs to Vice-Headmaster Kaecilius. He then immediately activated the Space Tower. Under the influence of the Space Stone, everyone was bathed in a flash of blue light. They entered the Space Bridge. They were directly crossing from this universe and arriving in the X-Men universe.

Boom!

Sebastian and the others emerged from the Space Temple near Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.

Looking at the ruined academy castle in the distance, Sebastian let out a breath. Wanda asked in disbelief. "These ruins... these were all caused by Jean Grey?"

Hearing this question, Scott Summers's face was gloomy. He said nothing. While Raven said directly. "Yes. Jean seems to have been influenced by some kind of cosmic power. She has become bloodthirsty and violent. She has a strong desire for destruction. Her mental state is also very unstable... Forget it. There is no point in talking about these details now. Let us go see Charles first."

The group walked towards the damaged castle.

At this moment Tony and Reed were walking and surveying the surroundings carefully. Both were whispering to each other.

"Reed, this parallel world does not look all that different from ours. The sky is the same blue color. The clouds are the same white. There is only one sun. It just seems the level of science and technology is a bit behind ours. It looks like it is from the nineteen eighties or nineteen nineties right?"

Hearing Tony's observation, Reed immediately replied. "According to what Professor Charles Xavier said earlier, the historical trajectory of our two worlds is not that different. If we exclude the mutants from this world and the supernatural elements of our world, then for ordinary people, history is essentially the same. So the nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties in this world should be pretty much the same as ours."
