Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible.

Chapter 400 Feeding
San Francisco Bay, inside the Fire Phoenix.

Qin casually glanced at the direction in the sky where a slight discomfort was coming from, and after noticing that the slight abnormality disappeared in an instant, she no longer paid any attention to it.

Now she had no time to care about these details. From the time she broke the seal on her mind to now, she enjoyed the pleasure of "eating" for the first time.

In the original world timeline, Scott's endless energy would become Jean's first meal after she was reborn from the fire at the bottom of Lake Alkali, but in the current timeline that has been completely disrupted by the contractors, there is no such good thing as meal delivery to the door.

As for the soul crystal obtained from Xi Ming and other contractors, this thing can enhance the strength of the soul, thereby strengthening one's control over the power of the Phoenix, but it is still powerless to fill the energy void. In other words, until now, she has always been in a hungry state.

Although the power of the Phoenix can absorb all known energies in the current world, it does not need to absorb all energies. Compared with the extraordinary nature of the power of the Phoenix, even if ordinary energy in nature is absorbed for thousands of years, the power that can be converted is still just a drop in the bucket.

This is also the main reason why the Phoenix Power in Qin's body would become so excited and even directly manifest itself after the nuclear explosion.

This was not out of fear or the need for confrontation, but the Phoenix Force had finally encountered a edible meal. Although the taste was average due to the massive heat radiation released by the nuclear explosion, the quantity was huge, and for the newborn Phoenix, it was just right.

"Wow!!"

The high-pitched cry rang out again, and the gorgeous fire phoenix in the air raised its neck high, and the brilliant flames on its body became brighter and brighter. In contrast, the golden-red smoke cloud beneath it was quickly disappearing.

Gradually, this giant golden-red mushroom cloud shrank from hundreds of meters in size to tens or even more than ten meters in size, and it continued to shrink further.

A huge cavity was created on the sea surface. The original Devil's Island no longer existed, and even the seabed with thousands of gullies and ravines at the bottom was faintly visible.

Then, immeasurable sea water began to pour back into the cavity, and a dull roar like thunder resounded. At the same time, an extremely huge whirlpool was formed on the sea surface, stirring up the bay with a radius of about 100 meters.

As the waves flowed back, a large amount of sea water was evaporated by the fire in the center that had not yet been completely extinguished, and turned into a large amount of water vapor that rose and spread upwards. After a moment, the spreading white mist gradually covered most of the fire phoenix in the sky.

Then, the mist was illuminated by the bright flames of the Fire Phoenix and turned into a golden-red fire cloud that stretched for hundreds of meters. It looked quite magical.

Inside the Fire Phoenix, Qin did not care about the changes in the outside world. Her cheeks were rosy and her breath was fluctuating. The energy from the nuclear explosion was about to be consumed, but it was still a long way from filling the emptiness in her body.

The short meal could not satisfy the Dark Phoenix personality, who already advocated indulgence in desires. Instead, it completely aroused her surging appetite. The strong hunger that kept roaring in her body was screaming at her to immediately find new food energy. Even the previous idea of ​​looking for trouble with Professor X was rudely squeezed out of her mind by this appetite that occupied all her thoughts.

And just in that place in the sky that she had temporarily forgotten, a sense of oppression as if the sky was collapsing was quietly emerging and rapidly intensifying.

Of course, this feeling of oppression might be terrifying to ordinary people, but to Phoenix, it was not so worthy of attention. Licking her lips that looked even more scarlet against the backdrop of her dark eyes, Qin first raised her eyes and looked in the direction of X Academy, where there was an optimal source of energy that could satisfy all her appetites at once.

However, with the strong counterattack of the main consciousness in the spiritual space, she finally gave up this tempting option and turned her gaze to the large city with bright lights on the other side of the coast.

Since high-quality laser energy is not available, a large-scale nuclear explosion is not unacceptable. Two or three more nuclear weapons of the same equivalent should be about the same.

As for how to get fed by the human government, it's simple, just destroy it, and she is particularly good at this.

In the outside world, the smoke and high heat radiation produced by the nuclear explosion had disappeared completely. All that was left was the churning sea and the gorgeous fire phoenix fluttering its wings in the endless red clouds above the sea.

Suddenly, the vast red cloud was torn apart by the howling hurricane, and the fire phoenix inside it leaped out fiercely with the storm, flapping its wings and excitedly rushing towards the coast. Wherever it passed, a straight, wide and deep gully was directly pulled out on the sea surface below. Looking closely, it can be found that the seawater inside was not evaporated by the high temperature, but was completely annihilated, and everything along the way disappeared.

The distance of several kilometers was just a moment in front of the Fire Phoenix, and soon the coast at the edge of the harbor was within reach. The Fire Phoenix had not arrived yet, but the invisible mental power outside its body had already turned this place into a purgatory.

Whether it was the towering fortifications, the various armed buildings, the large number of fleeing federal soldiers, or even the rocky landforms protruding from the surface, they were all turned into flying ashes in an instant. The pale plain under the flying ashes became the best backdrop for welcoming the arrival of the phoenix.

It is foreseeable that if the Fire Phoenix successfully reaches the city, the entire San Francisco and its hundreds of thousands of people will face the same destructive end in a few seconds. Compared with this consequence, the collapse and destruction of Alcatraz in the bay is completely insignificant.

"Wow!!"

The excited chirping sound rang out again. The closer it got to its destination, the more eager the Fire Phoenix became. Even if it destroyed the huge city in front of it, it would not be able to trigger a nuclear bombardment from humans. But the pure destruction alone was enough to make the Black Phoenix personality in Qin sing.

And just after the Fire Phoenix left the sea, there was a sudden glow in the clouds above, and then a huge pillar of bright light dropped from the sky at almost instantaneous speed, hitting the Fire Phoenix's back and pressing it directly into the coastal surface.

"boom!!!"

In an instant, waves of earth rolled, the ground shook, and the roar that resounded through the sky spread throughout the area. Under the full power of the Sun Chaser's magic main gun, a large-scale medium-sized earthquake was directly triggered on the coast. The violent tremors even spread all the way to the nearby city of San Francisco, causing high-rise buildings to shake, roads to crack, and chaos throughout the urban area.

As for the Fire Phoenix, which was its main target, no trace of it could be seen on the surface. Only the huge hole pierced straight through by the brilliant beam of light indicated that the opponent had been pressed all the way down into the depths of the earth.

Soon, the absolute suppression did not last too long. As a fierce cry spread from the inside of the pit, the outer edge of the pit began to rapidly expand due to invisible mental power. Then a flash of golden red flame appeared, and the huge and gorgeous fire phoenix actually withstood the continuous bombardment of the dazzling light column and forced itself to slowly climb up from the bottom of the pit.

Inside the Fire Phoenix, the flushed Jean was not angry at the sudden attack of the light column. Instead, she looked excited. The energy contained in this dazzling light column was completely comparable to Scott's laser energy. It was pure and high-quality, far exceeding a nuclear explosion.

Therefore, compared to anger, his main emotion now is actually the ultimate satisfaction of devouring energy.

.........

In the clouds in the sky, a pillar of blazing white light was shooting down from the muzzle at the front end of the ship's bow, while the entire battleship at the rear was shaking under the recoil force of the magic main gun.

On the deck, Xu Yue quietly looked down at the gorgeous fire phoenix bathed in a dazzling beam of light below. He was particularly indifferent to the fact that the magic main gun had no effect on the phoenix.

The purpose of this main gun bombardment was not to kill Qin, on the contrary, it was just to feed the opponent.

In fact, since she awakened the power of the Phoenix, unless Qin herself was willing, all the material and energy attacks in this world would only be food for her.

The power of the Phoenix itself represents the supreme energy. Xu Yue never intended to fight against it in this regard. All he had to do was to repeat the process of the original timeline.

First give Phoenix enough, even overflowing energy, and then while it is sleeping and digesting, completely resolve the conflict between Qin's two consciousnesses from a spiritual level. That is the only flaw of Phoenix.

Jean in the original timeline also died because of this.
