Next was Jean's tragic moment.
It made Ryan down below feel a little like joining the fray.
But considering they were still out in the wild, Ryan ultimately gave up...
He definitely didn't want to fight... Cough, cough...
Of course, the women were just messing around with Jean and didn't go all out.
More importantly, they took this opportunity to help her better Master her Phoenix Force so she wouldn't lose control again in the future.
After all, when the Phoenix Force lost control, it was extremely terrifying.
And it wasn't every time that she could have so many powerful sparring partners around her.
When the 'training' ended, Jean returned to Ryan bruised and battered, and it looked like she was even missing a front tooth...
Jean's attitude was much better at this moment, and she grinned at Ryan, saying: "Boss Ryan, when are we setting off?"
Watching Jean lisp as she spoke, Ryan speechlessly looked at the others floating around: "Which of you went so hard, knocking her teeth out..."
Hearing this, all the women averted their gaze and chose to dodge the question.
Who hit her? How would they know? After all, who among them hadn't gone up and punched Jean a couple of times just now?
Seeing that no one admitted to it, Ryan also floated up from the air mattress:
"As punishment for going too heavy on her this time, you all will come along on this trip to Jean's Universe. Aside from resurrecting everyone at the X-Academy, you will handle all the other troubles."
Hearing this, the women's eyes lit up.
For them, this wasn't a punishment at all; it was clearly a reward!
You have to know that in the past, whenever Ryan went to other Universes, he never brought them along to play, but this time he was actually taking them on a joint operation!
This was practically team-building!
"There's no time like the present, let's go right now. It just so happens we haven't been to play in other Universes yet..."
Gwen's eyes sparkled.
Since Gwen said so, Ryan naturally had no objections. After using the travel bracelet to locate Jean's Universe, he opened a web portal.
In fact, whenever he went to Universes he had visited before, he could teleport directly through space without even needing the Multiverse transporter.
For example, when he sent Sandman and the others back to their own Universe, he used the power of the Space Stone.
But to go to a Universe he had never been to, he still needed to use the Multiverse travel bracelet made by Spider-Man 2099 to locate it first.
According to Ryan's estimation, he probably needed to reach the Multiversal tier to freely and arbitrarily shuttle through any parallel Universe.
Or perhaps acquire some special ability.
For instance, America, who once appeared in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
That girl possessed overpowered spatial abilities that allowed her to shuttle freely across parallel Universes.
It was just that she was a relatively special and unique individual in the Multiverse, much like Ryan himself—there was only one of him in the entire Multiverse, without any variants.
Therefore, before she actively appeared, it was very hard for Ryan to find her uniqueness amidst the countless parallel Universes.
Naturally, there was no way to seize her overpowered spatial ability...
Thinking of this, Ryan shook his head and stopped letting his mind wander about such nonsense.
He looked at Zombie Wanda: "Are you going back to the Zombie Universe, or are you coming with us to play in the new Universe?"
Zombie Wanda thought about it and said: "I'll go with you. That crazy woman variant of mine has already left the Zombie Universe. Hela that bi... she can handle the Zombie Universe. She also likes conquering Universes more than I do, so let her go back!"
Hearing this, Ryan didn't refuse.
Instead, he closed his eyes and sent a message to Hela, who was still continuously mocking Odin's family in the Heavenly Palace.
Hela stood up from the throne just below Odin's, and said gracefully: "Alright, you trash of Odin's family, today's lecture ends here. I have to go back and conquer more Planets, so you guys can continue guarding Asgard and grow old and die here!"
Odin, Thor, and Loki—the three father and son—exchanged glances, their eyes filled with helplessness as they didn't dare to reply.
Hela didn't plan to wait for their reply either. Using the Multiverse transporter on her wrist, she opened a web portal in front of her leading to the Zombie Universe.
"Hela, you must be extra careful alone in a strange Universe. And remember to come home often; this will always be your home..."
Frigga's gentle voice came from behind, causing Hela, who had already stepped half a foot into the portal, to pause.
"Nonsense, got it!"
Leaving behind that haughty remark, Hela walked into the web portal with her chin held high.
At this, Odin and his two sons secretly gave Frigga a thumbs-up.
Having been cursed by Hela for half a day, it wasn't as effective as Frigga's few short words...
On the other side of the starry sea, after sending the message to Hela, Ryan led the women and stepped into the portal as well.
Of course, before entering, the swimwear on Ryan and the women had already changed.
The Symbiote surged over everyone, mimicking casual clothes.
The Spider-Society nowadays practically had one Symbiote per person.
As for Wanda and the others, they were even custom-made primitive Symbiote suits that Ryan specifically drew blood from Knull to create.
Just like the two Gwens', they were of Symbiote Dragon strength.
Of course, in terms of strength, it was just the basic version identical to the Short-haired Gwen from another Universe.
Only the one on Main Universe Gwen was a Planet-busting Symbiote Dragon that contained half of Knull's power.
After all, Main Universe Gwen was the first one to follow him.
It was completely normal for Ryan to treat her a bit specially.
When the crowd appeared, they arrived amidst a pile of broken walls and ruins.
On a broken plaque, the words 'Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters' were still inscribed.
Clearly, this was the famous X-Academy.
However, the once-glorious X-Academy was now left with only a scene of desolation.
"OMG..."
As soon as Jean returned here, her emotions went a bit out of control. Covering her mouth, tears continuously streamed down her cheeks.
After all, it was right here that she had lost control in the past and killed everyone.
Looking at Jean, whose face was gradually showing glowing red veins, Ryan said indifferently: "Jean, calm down. You are the Master of your body; don't let it control you."
His voice wasn't loud, but it worked even better than Professor X directly using telepathy to enter her brain and suppress the Phoenix Force.
Upon hearing Ryan's voice, the Phoenix Force receded from Jean's face at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Phoenix Force: I can't beat him, I can't beat him, time to slip away...
With the Phoenix Force no longer rioting, Jean's emotions stabilized, and her hopeful gaze fell upon Ryan once again:
"Boss Ryan, can you use the Infinity Stones to resurrect the Professor and the others right now?"
Ryan closed his eyes to sense for a moment, then opened them, revealing a hint of a smile:
"Mm, you're still quite lucky. Among the people you killed, none of them were key entities of an absolute point in time..."
"Therefore, resurrecting them won't cause overly terrible chain events to happen. As long as we take them away from this Universe after resurrection, it shouldn't have any impact on this Universe~"
The Infinity Stones could resurrect the dead, but not everyone could be resurrected.
Some people could not be resurrected; even if they were, it would inevitably trigger massive chain reactions and cause even greater disasters.
Just like Tony from the Sacred Timeline...
"That's great!"
Although Jean only half-understood, she understood that Ryan said he could resurrect Professor X and the others, and that was enough for her!
Ryan didn't say anything more. Instead, he raised his left hand, preparing to use the power of the six stones to bring back the souls of Professor X and the others and reshape their physical bodies.
But...
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh——————
A sharp piercing sound through the air interrupted Ryan's spell-casting pre-animation and attracted the gaze of everyone, including Ryan.
Dozens of missiles were rapidly hurtling toward them, trailing long exhaust flames!
And the ones firing these dozens of missiles were a dozen huge silver-and-purple humanoid robots flying in the air!
Jean's delicate body trembled, and she cried out in alarm: "Oh no, it's the sentinel robots!"
