Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible

The dry wind blew across his cheeks, making Xu Yue feel a bit of rough friction. Looking around, he found that the location he was currently in was open and transparent, and he was in an old neighborhood.

The street below is quite wide, but it is covered with all kinds of debris and garbage. From time to time, you can see a few suspicious dark blood stains. On both sides of the street, there are classic American two-story buildings neatly arranged.

Like the streets, these buildings have the same abandoned, dirty, dilapidated image, as if they have been abandoned for a long time.

There was an indescribable weird smell in the air, and it was so quiet that I could only hear the crisp footsteps of the boots when they hit the ground. It was clear that there were no signs of life around, but a heavy sense of oppression always enveloped Xu Yue. Everywhere around me is never far away.

In every dark and secret corner, there were also faintly concealed greedy glances, making his breathing gradually become faster.

"This is Qin's spiritual space..."

A subtle murmur came out of Xu Yue's mouth. As he spoke, he was constantly glancing around. Compared with his own spiritual space, this space was beyond imagination, and it was also much gloomier and weirder.

Even if he looked as far away as possible, he still couldn't see the end of the town, and the iconic sea of ​​​​stars was no longer in the sky. Instead, what appeared was a thick and constantly churning fog, which was so huge that it was difficult to see. An estimated surge of negative emotions.

As the sea of ​​fog surged, a large number of dark black snowflakes shaped like ashes were falling from the sky, spreading evenly to every corner of the space.

The falling snowflakes soon came into contact with Xu Yue's body. The moment the two touched, the snowflakes instantly dissipated, and many negative emotions, either violent or desperate, emerged in his heart.

But often these emotions would be immediately extinguished soon after they emerged, as Xu Yue used his long-lasting purple fire soul to forge a strong consciousness.

"Is the sea of ​​stars connected to the outside world also closed? What about the professor and Qin's main consciousness?"

His eyes fell on the dense sea of ​​fog that covered the sky and the sun. Xu Yue's face darkened slightly. The sea of ​​​​stars is the only channel for the spiritual space to connect to the outside world. Now it is covered by the majestic fog, which also represents the black phoenix. Already aware of the invasion of foreign objects, and prepared to leave them all behind.

This is also the biggest risk of rashly invading other people's mind space. If the target is an ordinary being who cannot control the mind space, it is okay. Even if the confrontation in terms of psychic power fails, you can retreat calmly.

But if the target of the invasion is the same psychic powerhouse, it will be quite troublesome. In this world that they independently developed and completely controlled, the developer is a weakened version of the god, and his wishes are nothing more than a mere success. As standard, the intruder can only hope to escape before forcibly defeating the opponent.

Of course, this does not mean that the intruders have no room for resistance. After all, the professor did not take such a big risk to bring them in just to die.

And his primary goal now is to immediately find the main battlefield where the professor and Qin's consciousness are fighting.

As his thoughts turned, a pair of raging and burning flame wings spread out behind him. As the wings flapped, he turned into a beam of golden and red flames and soared into the sky.

Soon the fire stopped below the sea of ​​fog, and the wings behind his back slowly flapped. Xu Yue was suspended high in the sky, looking down at the sky.

Based on the vast perspective brought by the height, this time he was finally able to see the entire spiritual space clearly. The scene below was like a three-layered concentric circle.

At the outermost periphery is an endless sea of ​​boiling fog, in which red light flickers can be faintly seen, which is very similar to the fog in the sky above the head that blocks the sea of ​​stars.

The ring in the middle is the dilapidated town he was in before. Viewed from above, the entire town is a gray color with no trace of color. It looks extremely decaying and lonely, like a huge corpse that is about to rot and fester. .

As for the smaller center of the circle, it is a particularly familiar and elegant castle. It is also the only place with color in the spiritual space. While it is particularly prominent, it is also so out of place.

However, if you look carefully, it is not difficult to find that this eye-catching exception is now being slowly swallowed up and assimilated. As the ashes and snowflakes of the foggy sea in the sky are constantly falling, each snowflake falls on the castle in the center. The color of the castle is directly buried.

At the same time, on the outskirts of the castle, the dilapidated town in the middle ring continued to advance inwards. It was like a fat gray worm, eating away at the besieged castle step by step.

Combining what he learned about the target's experience, Xu Yue easily understood the specific reason why it was structured like this the next second he saw the whole picture of the spiritual space.

The dilapidated town on the periphery undoubtedly represents the place where Qin lived when she was young, and it is also part of the memory sealed by the professor. She accidentally killed her mother when she awakened, and gained everything in the following time. The fear and fear of relatives, friends, and even his own father,

The malice of all this was so clear to Qin, who had just awakened her telepathy ability at that time, and it also brought her young mind to the verge of collapse. This is why the professor sealed it completely.

Then, during the long period of sealed detention, this gray and desperate memory gradually gave birth to a new consciousness called Black Phoenix.

Now the broken town is encroaching on the central X Academy step by step, and what it represents behind it is the devouring and strengthening of Qin's main consciousness by the Black Phoenix.

Once it is successfully completed, the past Qin will completely cease to exist, and she will be replaced by a destructive monster called the Black Phoenix.

"Swish!"

While thinking, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded in my ears, and I saw a beam of silver light rising from the castle in the center, until it reached a position parallel to Xu Yue, and then it just stopped the trend of continuing to rise, and revealed a golden-haired figure floating in the air stepping on a brick and stone round platform inside the silver light.

"Have you found the place where the professor and Qin's consciousness are fighting?"

As soon as her body stabilized, the White Queen began to ask anxiously, but unfortunately the result she got was just Xu Yue's faint shake of his head.

"It shouldn't be like this. The battle of consciousness in the spiritual space is usually very loud. How could there be no movement?"

"Maybe it's not that there is no movement, but we can't observe the location of their battle."

"Can't observe..."

As she repeated, the White Queen suddenly thought of something and quickly looked up. If it was impossible to observe, the most obvious thing was definitely the endless gray fog covering the sea of ​​stars above her head.

Sure enough, as soon as her sight moved upward, layers of violent waves suddenly appeared in the rolling sea of ​​fog not far away, and then the starting point of the wave exploded, and a giant fire phoenix with countless chains wrapped around its body flew out from the sea of ​​fog.

"Charles!!"

The sharp roar of the fire phoenix set off ripples in the void, but the next second, a huge giant with a body size almost the same as the fire phoenix jumped out of the gap in the sea of ​​fog above, and then the giant's right arm immediately charged and blasted out.

With the dull sound of the air being blasted by the huge force, the giant's huge fist hit the side of the Fire Phoenix's cheek heavily. While the giant's head was distorted by the beating, the giant's movements did not stop. His slightly bent knees pressed against the target's abdomen, and his free left hand just grabbed the long neck in front of him.

So, with the help of gravity, the tightly bound Fire Phoenix did not even have time to react, and was suppressed by the giant and fell vertically from the sky.

Like a meteorite falling to the ground, a line of brilliant fire passed through the air, and then the buildings on the ground collapsed, the earth waves surged, and a large piece of smoke and dust rose into the sky with a violent roar.

"Boom!!!"

The first roar had not yet dissipated, and then more dense and dull roars began to resound one after another, mixed with several calls.

"Boom! Boom!... Qin! Wake up!... Boom!... I know you are there!... Boom! Boom!..."

The scene below was like two giant beasts fighting desperately in the city. Looking at the giant phantom in the smoke and dust that was pressing the fire phoenix under him and beating it, Xu Yue's mouth twitched slightly, and he said uncertainly:

"Is this... the professor?"

Beside him, the White Queen gently raised her hand to touch her forehead, as if she thought of a picture she didn't want to recall, and her tone was muffled.

"Well, the fighting performance in the spiritual space is often rough."

Xu Yue didn't continue to speak, but suddenly recalled the professor's spiritual power he absorbed in the world of "Wolverine 3".

Before, he thought that the main reason why those spiritual powers condensed into a Hulk version of the professor in the octagonal cage was that the amount of spiritual power was piled up, but now it seems that the reason is not just that.
