"Jean Grey!"
"Phoenix!"
Through the spatial barrier, Michael looked at the girl... who was pushing the wheelchair.
As far as Michael knew, Jean Grey's own strength was merely that of a Level 3 Mutant.
Her Mutant abilities were telepathy and telekinesis, with a power level similar to White Queen's.
But! Pay attention! There's a 'but' here! One could say it's fortunate, or perhaps unfortunate... In short, Jean Grey was possessed by a fragmented piece of the Phoenix Force!
As a result, Jean Grey became a powerful being who was a Level 3 Mutant in her normal state, but a Level 5 Mutant in her break out state!
It's important to know that even the Professor and Magneto, two of the top experts among Mutants, were only Level 4 Mutants without Apocalypse's amplification.
Although Michael understood that the Phoenix Force was not a Mutant ability.
In Michael's view, Phoenix was only a Level 3 Mutant, not a Level 5 Mutant.
But did the Professor understand? Perhaps he did, or perhaps he didn't. But Michael didn't care!
...What Michael cared about was the Phoenix Force!
The Phoenix Force, an entity in the Marvel Universe.
Representing life and emotion, it is the embodiment of the primal cosmic life and psychic energy.
The Phoenix Force comes from the primal Universe; it is the energy vessel for future generations across the entire Multiverse.
According to Michael's estimation, even that small piece of Phoenix Force residing within Phoenix was enough to make Jean Grey as powerful as a Level 5 Mutant. So what about the complete Phoenix Force?
Well... of course, the current Michael doesn't want the complete Phoenix Force either.
That is an existence that even Multiverse Level powerhouses dread; Michael feels he hasn't lived enough yet and doesn't want to court death by seeking trouble.
However, whether it's a small piece of the Phoenix Force or the complete Phoenix Force, there is some connection between them.
Michael just wants to attract a portion of the Phoenix Force, and then, devour it!
Michael is even preparing to merge several Infinity Stones, then sacrifice them to the mutated gem, which will then feed back to him, allowing him to break through his shackles and advance to a higher level of strength.
And the Phoenix Force, which looks very impressive and can casually devour Multiverse Level powerhouses, surely it can provide even greater assistance for his strength advancement, right?
...Michael doesn't think he's being fanciful.
This is clearly, unmistakably, and indeed, has a lot of operational space!
However, Michael is not prepared to immediately activate the Phoenix Force residing within Jean Grey.
Currently, Jean Grey is still very weak in Michael's eyes; even if the Phoenix Force within her is activated, it won't reach its strongest potential.
This state, for Michael, is like a chicken rib—tasteless to eat, but a shame to discard.
Moreover, Michael's initial purpose for traversing the Multiverse was not for the Phoenix Force.
Michael's original goal was to collect and merge more Infinity Stones.
Once the Phoenix Force is activated prematurely, the protective measures Michael manifested using the mutated gem to shield against the Five Supreme Gods' perception will inevitably fail!
As the life and psychic energy of the original Marvel Universe, the Phoenix Force could destroy Michael's protective measures in mere minutes.
At that point, he might lose everything, like dropping the sesame seeds while trying to pick up the watermelon...
"And there's that… the pyramid tip Apocalypse uses to transfer souls."
"It's probably some top-tier treasure too; can't miss out on that!"
Given Michael's current strength, there isn't much else that can attract him for now.
However, the time span involved is quite long, so Michael will need to stay for a while longer.
