Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible.

Chapter 398: Devil's Island Collapses

Shortly after the outbreak of the Antidote Campaign, Magneto used a large-scale electromagnetic pulse to destroy all electronic communication equipment on Alcatraz Island, thereby completely blocking the information connection between the island and the federal government.

The images that the satellite can observe are relatively limited, especially after the giant red lotus suddenly blooms in mid-air, the observation images are directly cut off.

Therefore, this group of human troops participating in the rescue were actually not aware of the specific situation on the island. After luckily avoiding the impact of the Red Lotus through the Golden Gate Bridge and successfully arriving at Devil's Island, all they saw was the thick white fog.

There was no brutal fight between mutants and humans as imagined, only the deeply disturbing dead silence.

The most eye-catching thing in the white fog was the dull sound of combat boots falling, black ashes spreading around the feet, and the strange smell of flesh being burnt by high temperature constantly pouring into the nose. If it were not for the large number of charred corpses seen everywhere along the way, these soldiers who came to support would find it hard to believe that this was the bloody battlefield marked in the intelligence.

The evenly spread out and comprehensive search lasted for about half a minute before a dispersed armed team found the only survivor on the island in the center of the battlefield.

The opponent's floating posture has already proved his identity as a mutant, so when the warning was ineffective, the captain in charge of the command decisively gave the order to open fire. Out of fear of Magneto, they all carried special plastic weapons that could fire antidote potions.

Therefore, even if you attack rashly, your life will not be harmed. No matter who the mutant is, the safest decision is to destroy his abilities first and then slowly ask for information.

"attack!!"

As the leader's stern shout rang out, dense muzzle flashes burst out in the white fog, followed by hundreds of special antidote injections that tore through the fog and shot towards the red-haired figure in front of everyone.

But the next second, the air seemed to turn into an invisible quagmire, and all the incoming bullets slowly slowed down during flight, and finally completely solidified.

The scene froze for a moment. Everyone in the team looked at the female mutant who was surrounded by a large number of frozen antidote injections not far away. A trace of confusion appeared on their faces. The captain who ordered the attack was the first to react. The confusion in his eyes quickly turned into panic. He quickly said:

"Wait, we didn't..."

The words in his mouth stopped abruptly, and a pair of pure black evil pupils suddenly appeared in his field of vision. Then the antidote injection that was solidified in mid-air turned into powder and flew away, and everything in front of him was completely submerged by the thick darkness.

In the center of the battlefield, Qin, who was originally preparing to jump off the ground, finally stopped because of the sudden provocation from the ants. Her already furious emotions were completely ignited. She didn't even bother to reply. Her eyes, which had quietly turned pure black, simply glanced around, and all the antidote injections and the human teams outside were completely destroyed.

The Phoenix Force is an ancient force that originated from the beginning of the universe. As a partial host of the Phoenix Force, although Jean cannot fully exert its power today, she can easily destroy any known substance at the molecular level by simply driving it roughly.

The way it manifested to the outside world was that no matter whether it was people or objects, they all turned into ashes in an instant, silently revealing an indescribable extreme terror.

The drifting ashes merged into the white mist and disappeared without a trace, but the death of the human team could not eliminate Qin's anger. Instead, it made her pure black pupils become even deeper.

The Dark Phoenix personality has been imprisoned in a dark spiritual space for more than twenty years, which has caused her to accumulate countless rage and desire for destruction. Right now, this amount of killing is far from enough to fill her appetite, and will only make her more hungry.

And now this pair of dark pupils means that the Black Phoenix personality has completely suppressed the main consciousness of "Qin", and the rising desire for destruction in her mind is completely uncontrollable.

She temporarily put aside the professor's mental power at high altitude. Before going to seek revenge on the bald man, she must first destroy all life that may have provoked her, even the entire island beneath her feet!

The howling gale began to sweep outward with Qin as the center. Her body slowly rose, and the thick fog that covered the entire island was blown away in an instant.

Soon the white fog dissipated, and the fully armed human teams on Devil Island emerged. At the same time, as the vision became clear again, these human soldiers also turned their eyes to the source of the howling wind, where there was a red-haired figure floating in the air. At this time, the lights used for lighting on the periphery of the island had long been destroyed by the raging burning wind, but fortunately the moonlight from the sky was still bright. In the center of the battlefield, Qin was standing in the sky, looking down at the people on the surface from a high position. Under the cold moonlight, a striking red hair fluttered and danced, like a ball of raging flames burning.

Further down, there was a pair of strange black pupils, with dense black veins spreading outward from around the eye sockets, rendering Qin's originally gentle and beautiful face extremely ferocious.

There was no need for the superior to give orders. The classic image of the BOSS appearing in front of them made everyone present realize the seriousness of the problem at the first moment. All the teams began to turn around at the same time, followed by the sound of bolts being pulled one after another. Guns were raised at the same time from various positions on the island, all aimed at the female figure with flying red hair in the sky.

But before sparks could fly from the muzzle of the gun, irresistible terror descended. There was no warning at all, and no one could see where the attack came from. With Qin as the center, everything around began to disappear and be destroyed silently.

Whether it was the towering wreckage of buildings, the fallen rocks and charred corpses scattered on the ground, or the various human teams standing vigilantly with guns, at this moment they all seemed to have turned into fragile creations made up of yellow sand. Just by being blown by the breeze, they all turned from the inside out into ashes that floated all over the sky.

There was no wailing and no blood, but this silent demise was even more terrifying. A pair of eyes looked blankly at the teammates who were gradually dispersing around them. After a moment, the confusion was gradually replaced by more complex emotions. Some were terrified, some were desperate and helpless, and of course, some were furious and crazy.

At once, the sound of gunfire rang out, and countless antidote injections came from all directions, covering every inch of the corner around Qin. As the distance between them shortened, the flying speed of the injections became slower and slower. Finally, before reaching the target about three meters away, all the injections turned into ashes.

Above the battlefield, facing the desperate resistance of the human troops, Qin did not care at all, and did not even give them a glance. She vented her power for the first time, and now she just felt extremely addicted, just like a giant whale that had been bound in the shallows for a long time, and now she was finally able to twist her huge body and swim freely in the ocean.

As for those fragile fish and shrimps that were directly blown away and smashed by the huge waves caused by swimming, the giant whale naturally would not care at all.

"Om~"

As the tremendous power in the piano further dissipated, a subtle buzzing sound instantly spread, and then the entire Devil Island began to tremble faintly. The waves outside the island were surging and turbulent. A giant water curtain tens of meters high quickly emerged from the bay and wrapped the central island, instantly blocking all exits to the outside world.

Within the water curtain, the human soldiers who either turned around and ran desperately or fought back with guns and roared were all reduced to ashes one by one in this desperate atmosphere. Even some of the contractors who had been hiding in the dark and had never left the island were forced to jump out from their hiding places, and then were easily destroyed by the raging power of the phoenix without any resistance.

They used various means to survive the shrapnel and high-heat winds caused by the blooming of the red lotus, but faced with the power of the phoenix that was about to wipe out the entire island, they could only be wiped out in despair. At this moment, there was no difference between the powerful contractors and the weak human soldiers. Under the phoenix, all beings were equal.

Death was still spreading. At the edge of the island, the leader in charge of this support mission glanced with trembling eyes at everything around him that was constantly disintegrating, including many of his soldiers who were also turned to ashes in the roar. A miserable smile gradually appeared at the corners of his mouth. He casually threw away the useless gun in his hand, fumbled in his pocket and took out a small remote control with a flashing red light.

Before arriving at Devil's Island, the indicator light on the remote control was always gray and dim because Magneto distorted the surrounding magnetic field. It was not until we stepped into the island that it showed that the connection had been rebuilt.

To be honest, when he witnessed Magneto's power in lifting the entire Golden Gate Bridge, he was prepared to never return for this support mission. However, after arriving on the island, he did not meet Magneto and his crew, but the female mutant above the island showed even more terrifying power.

No matter what, their support troops can be completely wiped out, but before dying, he must drag this mutant monster in front of him, who poses a great danger to humans, to death together!
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and pressed his thumb directly on the button on the remote control.

The next second, endless light and heat exploded from within the island, and the entire island collapsed in an instant.

"boom!!!"

The roar resounded through the sky at a distance several times more exaggerated than that of the red lotus blooming not long ago, and the circular water curtain outside the island was torn apart by the expanding air waves.

But its interior is no longer the oval island quietly sitting in the center of the bay. Instead, a giant golden-red mushroom cloud that reaches the sky and the earth emerges.
