Wu Fengji only glanced at Kytheron before quickly retracting her gaze. With just one look, she knew that all her previous conjectures about the God-King His Majesty mentioned by that Fire Kid were correct.
Because ever since she merged with the Phoenix Force hundreds of years ago, she had never felt this self-aware power within her behave as it was now.
What Wu Fengji didn't know was that, at this moment, in her consciousness space, the Phoenix was cowering in a corner, looking in terror at the domineering and majestic figure standing before it.
Fear! Unconcealable fear!
If, before stepping onto Apokolips, the Phoenix within her was filled with greed and desire, now only fear remained.
But what also puzzled Wu Fengji was that she actually felt a strange sense of familiarity from Kytheron, and she looked at her fists with some bewilderment.
"You're very confused right now as to why I make you feel familiar, aren't you!"
Before Wu Fengji could speak, Kytheron voiced her confusion.
Hearing this, Wu Fengji subconsciously nodded.
"You possess the Dragon Force, and while its level is a bit low, it does originate from a true Dragon clan."
"I and the fellow who bestowed the Dragon Force upon you can barely be considered of the same clan!"
Hearing this, Wu Fengji instantly understood that Kytheron, before her, was a Divine Dragon, just like Shou Lao.
"Senior, do you also come from Earth? Is Shou Lao doing well these past years?"
"Since I entered the Universe hundreds of years ago, I haven't had the chance to return."
With this connection, Wu Fengji seemed to slightly let go of the fear in her heart, wanting to use this to bridge the gap. She didn't call Kytheron God-King His Majesty, but rather'Senior'.
"Do I come from Earth? That's both right and not right, but it doesn't matter."
"As for Shou Lao, whom you mentioned, I don't know that old fellow. I've only heard of him by chance, a useless person imprisoned in K'un-Lun, who cultivates you so-called Iron Fists through self-mutilation, and then uses your cultivation to strengthen his own power!"
"However, that old fellow's investment in you clearly resulted in a loss!"
"After all, based on a normal human lifespan, you should have died by now, but you've lived until today. The Dragon Force within you has also been affected by the Phoenix, so even if you die in the future, that power won't return to his body."
"That old fellow's calculations were quite good, but unfortunately, this time even the abacus beads bounced away!"
Kytheron made no secret of his disdain for the Shou Lao whom she revered, displaying the arrogance of a Dragon clan superior to the fullest.
At this moment, Wu Fengji was a bit embarrassed. She hadn't expected Shou Lao to be so insignificant in the eyes of his own kind.
However, she also understood that for an existence like Kytheron, it was normal to look down on Shou Lao, who was imprisoned in K'un-Lun.
After all, every generation of Iron Fist indeed had to personally defeat Shou Lao once when inheriting the Dragon Force, killing him to brand their fists with the Dragon's mark.
"Senior... God-King His Majesty, I apologize for my presumptuous visit. I merely wished to ascertain the cause of the Phoenix Force's recent rampage and had no intention of offending. If there are any improprieties, please forgive me!"
Seeing that building a connection was not working, Wu Fengji immediately changed her address and clearly stated her purpose.
At this moment, she lowered her posture considerably, not daring to conceal anything, and her expression was respectful.
"Don't worry, I also have no ill will towards you!"
"As for the truth you wish to know, I can tell you directly: because a new power born from emotion has emerged on my Apokolips, the Phoenix Force, as the embodiment of all life's emotions in the infinite Multiverse, naturally covets it!"
"Therefore, not only you, but all Phoenix hosts scattered throughout this Multiverse will be drawn here."
"Just like the Phoenix host you killed just before you arrived, it's just that they weren't so lucky as to completely control the Phoenix Force. Instead, they were controlled by the Phoenix's will, becoming enslaved!"
Kytheron also didn't hide anything from her, directly telling her what she wanted to know.
"So that's how it is, no wonder!"
"Thank you, God-King His Majesty, for clarifying my doubts. Fengji is immensely grateful and will now take her leave!"
If she weren't afraid of being rude, Wu Fengji truly didn't want to stay here for another second. The pressure she felt from Kytheron was simply too great!
Even though Kytheron hadn't shown any ill will towards her so far, and had even seriously answered her questions, the spontaneous danger warning from her body persisted.
This was a reminder for her to leave this place quickly.
"You've come a long way, and I haven't yet fulfilled my duties as host. You can stay on my Apokolips for a while!"
"Soon, a grand play will be staged, and it wouldn't be perfect without you, the White Phoenix!"
Kytheron's words carried an undeniable tone.
Wu Fengji heard this and knew she was likely trapped here, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.
"Alas! Why did I decide to come here? It's truly like knowing there's a tiger in the mountain, yet still heading towards the tiger's den!"
As for trying to escape by force, Wu Fengji didn't even consider it.
Just now, a mere glance from Kytheron had made her completely lose the will to resist, and even the Phoenix Force within her had turned into a pitiful little Fire bird.
The disparity in strength made it impossible for her to even conceive of defying Kytheron. She merely prayed that this great God, Kytheron, would allow her to leave after the show.
"Nur, you come and entertain this guest for me!"
With Kytheron's summons, En Sabah Nur, dressed in priestly attire, instantly appeared beside Wu Fengji.
"Yes, my esteemed God-King His Majesty!"
"This guest, please follow me."
En Sabah Nur, this ancient Mutant who once claimed to be a God, had now completely become a fanatic follower of Kytheron, spontaneously taking on the role of priest.
However, Kytheron mostly used him as the grand steward of Apokolips.
Wu Fengji obediently followed Nur and left!
Looking at Wu Fengji's retreating figure, Kytheron mused:
"With billions of Phoenix hosts across the entire Multiverse, this great chaotic battle should provide an opportunity for the complete Phoenix Force to reappear in its former glory!"
"I just don't know if this ancient divine power, born in the primordial Universe, truly possesses the legendary divine might."
Regarding the Phoenix Force, legend has it that when it reunites and reappears, the entire Multiverse will be destroyed.
Kytheron keeping Wu Fengji also had certain considerations; after all, she was one of the rare perfect hosts for the Phoenix, and adding Jean, it would be enough to divide the complete Phoenix Force.
"I hope it won't disappoint me!"
Unbeknownst to him, Kytheron had gradually begun to disregard all lives except those he cared about.
In the upcoming Phoenix catastrophe, among the billions of Phoenix hosts, only a select few in Kytheron's heart were deemed worthy of survival.
