Marvel: Sign-In System – Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

"What are you?"

"Why is it that I can only sense destruction radiating from you?"

Skye frowned, staring straight at Jean, who seemed to have become a completely different person.

Through her Observation Haki, she could clearly sense that Jean was no longer the Jean from before.

Her fundamental emotions had changed from worry and gentleness into pure destruction.

Yes, destruction.

Skye had seen many people. She had even faced demons. But whether humans or demons, their emotions were actually many and varied.

Joy, happiness, greed, desire, and more.

After all, as long as something was an intelligent life, its emotions would always fluctuate and change because of certain things or things it saw.

Emotions were diverse and complex.

But at this moment, Jean had only one clear emotion—destruction.

From the beginning until now, it had not changed in the slightest.

And Jean's power was also very special. It was shockingly strong. Skye could feel the astonishing power surging out of her body. It was completely unreasonable.

Skye could be certain that this Jean was no longer the Phoenix Jean Grey of the X-Men—she was already someone else.

Could it be a demon? Dormammu?

No. Skye immediately denied it. She did not sense the aura that belonged to darkness. This was another kind of power she had never seen before, but it was likewise higher-dimensional.

"Do you... like me?" the entity possessing Jean asked, tilting her head slightly as she uttered the bizarre question.

Then—

Boom!

Vast energy erupted. In that instant, Skye's expression changed, and she almost immediately let go and took a step back. Jessica did the same, only to be hurled into the air, flipping once before using her flight ability to stop herself in midair and landing lightly back on the ground.

Crimson energy burned like flame, finally turning into a dazzling, beautiful, and powerful phoenix.

It let out a clear phoenix cry.

The vast energy made the entire city of Washington tremble, and the residents in the city could not help feeling afraid.

After all, most of the city's residents were also watching this place through television.

If a fight truly broke out here, they would be the ones to suffer.

"Jean…"

Scott Summers and Logan raised their heads, looking at Jean as she slowly floated upward. Their faces were filled with worry as they murmured her name.

The two wanted to step forward and wake Jean, but Professor X stopped them. His aged face was filled with guilt and regret.

"Her negative personality has awakened."

Professor X knew the reason very well.

Ever since Jean awakened her mutant ability as a child, he had brought her to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. At the same time, however, he could clearly sense another incomprehensibly powerful force hidden within Jean's body.

That power was so strong it could even interfere with matter, and it was filled with destruction.

Jean had always resisted it, but that instead made her unable to control the power.

In the end, to prevent disaster, Professor X used his telepathic powers to forcibly seal away the dark desires buried deep within Jean's subconscious.

But too much was as bad as too little. The more it was suppressed, the greater the rebound would be once it could no longer be held down.

Professor X had originally thought it would take longer.

"Charles, it's you again..."

Others might not know, but how could Magneto not know what kind of person Professor X was?

Seeing the regret and guilt on Professor X's face, Magneto did not even need to think to know that Charles had done something wonderful again. For a moment, he hated him so much his teeth itched.

He was truly speechless toward Professor X.

What Magneto had always followed in the past was releasing oneself. This kind of release might turn into recklessness, but in general, it was a way for mutants to solve the problem of being unable to control their abilities.

Because suppressing them, fearing them, resisting one's own powers, and forcing them down would inevitably make those powers even more unbalanced and harder to control.

Only by not fearing them, by using those powers, could one speed up the process of mastering them.

Professor X, on the other hand, chose control.

But if one only wanted control without first releasing and understanding one's abilities, without training, how was one supposed to control them?

This was exactly why Magneto had scolded Professor X more than once before, saying that the students in the mutant school he founded all came from an ivory tower.

A group of children who did not even understand their own abilities well enough would only panic when a crisis came.

They knew nothing.

And now, great. He had finally created a Jean.

Although Magneto did not know what exactly was going on with Jean, through his life magnetic field perception, he could already sense Jean's terrifying life aura.

It was too damn frightening.

The kind of frightening that seemed almost endless.

Magneto was already sweating as he wondered whether he should run. He now seriously doubted whether Skye and Jessica, plus himself, could fight against the Jean in front of them.

"You should not have stood in his way. Therefore, you deserve to die."

Floating less than a meter above the ground, Jean looked down at Skye, her voice icy.

She loved destruction—the destruction of matter, the destruction of life.

It was like an opera fanatic having her favorite performance abruptly interrupted.

"Yeah. I can tell you're pretty pissed off."

Skye fully released her Observation Haki. Being stared at by Jean, she felt danger and death spreading through her heart.

Yet even in the face of danger, Skye still wore a bright smile.

She was no longer the little girl who would panic and feel afraid whenever something happened. Now, she was a brave and fearless warrior, even in the face of death.

As her voice fell, the clothes on her body began to burn.

Within the flames, the familiar red windbreaker Raven combat uniform covered her whole body. Black leather gloves appeared on her hands.

On her shoulder, the black raven emblem with a drop of blood at its abdomen looked vivid and lifelike.

Not only her. Jessica was the same.

A surging aura slowly spread from both her and Jessica.

But this aura, powerful enough to crush ordinary people alive, was mercilessly annihilated when it approached Jean Grey.

"Skye, you do know we're in the middle of a city, right?" Jessica muttered a reminder.

She didn't mind a fight—in fact, she was actively looking forward to it. The problem was their current location. A battle of this level would not be as simple as a few people dying.

The entire city of Washington and the surrounding area might end up completely wiped out.

"Yeah. I'm really regretting the fact that I never learned how to manifest a Mirror Dimension,"

Skye replied, then raised her head slightly. "Looks like we have to move the battlefield."

This battle could no longer be avoided. Jean's unconcealed and growing killing intent was not something that could fade away with just a few words.

So Skye acted decisively.

She spread her feet slightly, clenched both hands into fists, and crossed them before her chest. A surging aura turned into a wave of air and rose, making the hem of her red windbreaker snap loudly.

Under everyone's focused gazes—

"Ma'am, let's take you for a spin in a washing machine."

As her words fell, Skye suddenly smashed both fists into the air on either side.

It was as though the air itself had become glass.

Crack!

With the sharp sound of shattering glass, white fractures spread outward from her fists. The next moment, the air itself seemed to splinter apart, as though space had been fractured into countless pieces.
