"The cruelest to humans are indeed humans themselves!"
With White's real-time global monitoring and Michael's own divine sense scanning, Michael could easily understand the situation and circumstances on Earth.
But seeing that in just two short days, the global population of nearly ten billion had plummeted to less than two billion—this was the combined total of Mutants and humans—Michael couldn't quite describe what kind of experience this was.
The vast majority of these lost lives were annihilated when Mutants and humans mutually launched nuclear missiles at each other.
But ultimately, these… nuclear missiles were actually manufactured by humans themselves. Although the Mutants launched nuclear missiles, these… nuclear missiles were merely snatched from the hands of the humans.
"This population of less than two billion…"
"How many will ultimately remain… is still unknown!"
With nuclear fallout dust everywhere, contaminated water sources, and contaminated food, how many humans would ultimately remain on Earth? Although Michael also possessed the Time Stone, he didn't like using it to predict the future.
Moreover, is the future that can be predicted… the true future? If Michael were willing to act, couldn't the nuclear radiation currently drifting all over the globe be cleared in a matter of minutes? If you predicted that humanity would all perish in radiation, and Michael waved his hand to clear all radiation effects… then what future did you predict…
"Don't blame me for being heartless."
"It's just that I'm very curious…"
"What is the difference between the 'pre-nuclear era' and 'post-nuclear era' mentioned in a certain anime?"
"Will the post-nuclear era become a wasteland World, or even lead to the end of life?"
"Or will a new, emerging technological civilization, a god-making civilization, be born in the post-nuclear era?"
"If there were enough time, I really would want to see what that would look like."
For a moment, Michael even wanted to use the Infinity Stones to cleave off the entire Solar System, then apply a time law to accelerate it by trillions of years, to see if it could create a super-god civilization!
However, considering that such an action would cause too much commotion, Michael thought about it and ultimately suppressed the idea.
Moreover, playing with Time in front of Ancient One, even though Michael's Multiverse Level strength generally crushed Ancient One's Single Universe Level strength, it would still be like teaching a fish to swim. Michael, who specialized in Space, competing with Ancient One, who specialized in Time—would that be a competition of Space abilities or Time abilities? Although to a certain extent, one could rely on brute force, that… would only be pure destruction, more like flipping the chessboard than winning against an opponent by playing chess…
"Whoa!"
"I didn't expect Dark Phoenix to be such a show-off!"
Putting aside his plan to use the entire Solar System as a testing ground, Michael turned his gaze towards Dark Phoenix, who had gone to cause trouble for the Mutants.
Unexpectedly, the Dark Phoenix, after stepping out of the spatial portal, didn't immediately go to trouble Charles. Instead, she used her abilities to manipulate the weather, instantly covering the Island with dark clouds, lightning, and thunder.
The Dark Phoenix's display of 'dark clouds pressing down, threatening to destroy the city' made the entire Mutant base on the Island feel as if it had fallen into a doomsday scenario.
Fortunately, Mutants are not ordinary people. After the initial panic, with the black-hearted Charles directing and Apocalypse providing support, a portion of Apocalypse-controlled Mutants, strengthened by Apocalypse, emerged and began to contend with the Dark Phoenix for control over the thick dark clouds above the Island.
"Jean Grey!"
"You are indeed an uncontrollable existence!"
"I should have eliminated you directly back then!"
A cold voice echoed in the Dark Phoenix's mind. It was the black-hearted Charles, who had directly reached the Dark Phoenix through his Mutant abilities.
Perhaps it was because he knew the Dark Phoenix was completely obsessed with destroying Mutants, or perhaps the black-hearted Charles no longer cared, but Charles's words were clearly extremely ruthless, showing no regard for the years Jean Grey had spent as his student and assistant.
"Damn Mutants!"
"Get out of my mind!"
"All Mutants deserve to die!"
The Dark Phoenix's sea of consciousness was also 'flashing with lightning and thunder,' as massive mental energies collided, generating streaks of mental lightning.
"Charles!"
"Especially you, you damned executioner!"
"You sealed me in darkness for years!"
"Now I am free!"
"I will make you suffer all the tortures and humiliations in this World!"
Unlike Charles's'silence,' the Dark Phoenix directly shrieked. Especially at this moment, with Charles once again invading the Dark Phoenix's mind, the Dark Phoenix's violent aura reached a terrifying level.
"Die!"
"You damned scoundrels!"
The Skyfather Level powerhouse's aura erupted, and immense energy was unleashed, causing the entire Earth to tremble slightly... Watching the Dark Phoenix and the Mutants plunge into a fierce battle, Michael's lips curved slightly upward.
It turned out that just as the Dark Phoenix went all out, preparing to eradicate all Mutants, the Phoenix Force Fragment from the distant Universe, which even Michael could only roughly sense the direction of as it headed towards Earth, suddenly accelerated as if stimulated by something.
Michael could sense that the Phoenix Force Fragment's sudden burst of speed had increased it by at least ten times! If, before this, the Phoenix Force Fragment would have taken ten years to reach Earth,
then, with the Dark Phoenix's outburst, this Phoenix Force Fragment would arrive at Earth in at most one more year! Thinking of the benefits after devouring the Phoenix Force Fragment, Michael felt a surge of excitement.
