Chapter 71: 100%
Upon seeing Professor X being ignored, the hot-headed Wolverine charged forward immediately, saying to Professor X:
"Professor, what's the point of talking to him? Jean has fully mastered the Phoenix Force now. If we help Jean take him down, everything will be resolved!"
Wolverine's charge was a signal, and the other X-Men also launched their attacks: Cyclops, Storm, Quicksilver, Shadowcat, and others all moved toward Alex!
The only one that caught Alex's attention was Phoenix, who was floating low in the air, facing off against him. A powerful telekinetic force emerged from her body, with scorching energy shooting out, forming fiery wings of a phoenix behind her!
In the next moment, under the influence of the Phoenix Force, a powerful telekinetic shield covered all the X-Men, protecting them while not hindering their attacks!
Wolverine was the first to reach Alex. Sharp adamantium claws extended from his flesh as he charged at Alex at full speed!
At that moment, Alex was contemplating how to strip the Phoenix Force when Wolverine's attack snapped him out of it.
Seeing Wolverine constantly attacking within five meters of him, Alex smiled, bringing his fingers together and making a cutting motion. A space slash weakened the telekinetic shield, followed by a Red forming instantly, shooting toward Wolverine!
The singularity pierced the weakened telekinetic shield and struck Wolverine's chest. The terrifying repulsive force shredded his flesh, leaving only his shiny adamantium skeleton to support his body!
Wolverine flew back at dozens of times the speed he had come, crashing through the military base and leaving a slash on the ground several hundred meters long.
Alex, using the "Six Eyes," scanned the military base and was surprised to find that a general had survived.
He had intended to kill the general inside the base by using Wolverine's body, but just then, a figure dashed forward, swiftly moving the general aside to prevent him from being hit by Wolverine's body!
That figure was Quicksilver, a mutant with super-speed.
Boom!
Storm soared into the sky, unleashing lightning and windstorms toward Alex. Yet, he still made no response to the attack, instead examining his own body, which was disintegrating at an accelerating rate.
Compared to their encounter in front of the White House, the rate of disintegration had increased several times over!
However, Alex's RCT had also been upgraded; with his level 3 Reverse Cursed Technique countering the Phoenix Force's disintegrating power, his body's disintegration slowed significantly.
By his calculation, if Phoenix continued attacking at this rate, he might be in actual danger in about ten minutes!
"Impressive!"
The next moment, he stepped forward. The powerful gravity of the "Blue" Technique twisted two points in space, bringing Alex instantly into the military base!
The general was now right before him!
Before Quicksilver could react, an overwhelming repulsive force erupted from Alex's body, sweeping through the entire base. Everything crumbled under the immense repulsive power. Even the general's telekinetic shield, enhanced by Phoenix, shattered instantly under the relentless space slashes and repulsion!
As the devastating force faded, Alex suddenly dodged aside.
Quicksilver, who also had a telekinetic shield, had escaped the first wave of the repulsive force and returned after everything calmed down, wielding a bizarre-looking energy weapon at Alex!
In Alex's energy vision, this weapon also contained a faint trace of the Phoenix Force, so he instinctively avoided it.
His decision was proven right; the energy weapon, which looked like a laser sword, had the ability to disintegrate matter. Combined with its vibrating energy, it could even bypass Alex's Limitless Technique and his energy absorption defense.
No doubt, this was another invention of Mister Fantastic. If he could create a device capable of annihilating a planet in an instant, he could certainly craft a weapon infused with the Phoenix Force fragments, capable of disintegrating matter.
Quicksilver used the Phoenix-powered weapon to break through Alex's defenses, leaving a small cut on his cheek. Fresh blood began to flow but was instantly healed by the Reverse Cursed Technique.

Meanwhile, in a lab filled with high-tech equipment, three figures – the Leader, Ivan Vanko, and Mister Fantastic – stared intensely at the satellite surveillance footage.
Their condition was not good. They had been working tirelessly, almost without rest, to develop equipment to fight "White Hair."
After extensive research, they had developed two weapons capable of harming him.
One was the latest version of the Sentinel robots, which had just been instantly destroyed by "White Hair," proving ineffective.
Now, seeing that the energy sword infused with the Phoenix Force could injure "White Hair," they were ecstatic.
The "White-Haired Mutant" was finally bleeding!
This gave them hope that their research was finally catching up with "White Hair's" growth rate, and they saw a chance to defeat him!
---
After using the energy sword to wound "White Hair's" cheek, Quicksilver's confidence soared. If the energy sword could hurt this guy then with his speed and the sword, along with the support of others, they might really defeat him!
He charged again toward Alex with time and space around him seeming to slow down or even freeze, while he remained in motion!
Quicksilver's face lit with excitement, ready to pierce "White Hair's" head with the energy sword!
But just as he got close to him, he was shocked to see those bright blue eyes tracking him, moving with his every step, clearly locked onto him!
He could actually track his movements at super speed and keep up with his pace!
Then he saw the mutant suddenly disappear, only to reappear right in front of him. As Quicksilver tried to dodge, he realized he was trapped, unable to move an inch. His super-speed was useless!
"You seem confident."
The whisper of "White Hair" came close to his ear. As he tried to say something, the purple imaginary mass shattered the telekinetic shield in front of him and annihilated his head, continuing its destructive path, swallowing everything in its way, including the general he had saved, before vanishing into the distance!
Two Infinity Stones flew out from a pocket dimension, orbiting around Alex as he continuously absorbed their vast energy
[Energy Point +1]
[Energy Point +1]
[Energy Point +1]
...
An immense amount of energy flowed into Alex, which he poured into the Template Fusion, finally triggering a bright golden glow on the character panel!
[Template Fusion: 100%]
Using gravity, Alex pulled the energy sword towards him, gripped it, and gave the X-Men a bright smile, signaling the start of Round Two!
