Originally, the battle between the Phoenixes was only in the relatively peripheral areas of the Universe, but as the battle escalated further, the affected range grew larger and larger.
Besides the Shi'ar Empire, which viewed the Phoenix Force as a great scourge, the other two great cosmic empires and countless galactic civilizations had also mobilized their respective cosmic fleets, preparing for war!
"With so many Phoenix hosts, do we really have any hope of defeating them?"
"The destruction caused by Rook'shir back then is still vivid in My mind; all living beings, cosmic battleships, or energy that came close to him were turned into cosmic dust, so similar to the Planets being destroyed now."
Within the Shi'ar Empire, there were those who had survived the previous encirclement and suppression of Dark Phoenix Rook'shir, and at this moment, he had a lingering look of fear.
"Don't worry, we have the invincible hero, My Lord Gladiator. As long as he is here, even the Phoenix will definitely not be his opponent."
Some younger generations, who had grown up listening to the legends of hero Gladiator, were filled with infinite trust in the magnificent figure standing at the front of the fleet.
"Alas! I hope it truly is so!"
The old warrior sighed deeply before speaking.
On Xandar, the Nova Corps was fully assembled, with 200,000 combat aircraft forming a massive defensive matrix, protecting Xandar in all directions.
"Warriors of the Nova Corps, for the sake of your families behind you, face the impending crisis with the resolve to die!"
Queen Adora, through a massive holographic projection, allowed every soldier of the corps to see her, and even more, to see the countless people living on Xandar.
"For Xandar, for the Queen, resist all invaders to the Death!"
The corps leader also issued a deafening pre-battle mobilization to all soldiers.
In the Kree Empire, Ronan the Accuser, now the supreme commander of the army, had also mobilized nearly ninety-five percent of the Kree Empire's combat units, leaving only a small portion to guard the Empire.
According to the Supreme Intelligence's estimation, the energy aftermath alone from this battle between the Phoenixes would be enough to destroy half the Universe.
Not to mention those Phoenix hosts, each acting as if they had gone mad!
If they were truly allowed to continue slaughtering each other like this, the remaining Phoenix hosts would only grow stronger and stronger.
Therefore, they had to draw away a portion of the Phoenixes, defeat them, and then seal them separately.
"Warriors, it's time to let the Universe witness the power of us Kree!"
"Attack!"
Ronan raised his Kree War Hammer, which was not adorned with the Power Stone, and let out a deep roar.
Asgard!
"My King, please forgive My disturbance of the souls of the heroes who should be resting. This time concerns the entire Universe, and Asgard is duty-bound."
Thor stood before Valhalla, took a deep breath, first begged his King for forgiveness, and then resolutely pushed open the doors of Valhalla.
This was the resting place of Asgard's heroes who had fallen in battle in the past, and also one of Asgard's great secrets that allowed it to deter the Universe.
A massive golden light flashed, and in the boundless Valhalla, countless warriors clad in golden armor were already standing by, ready for battle.
"I, the Fourth God King of Asgard, Thor the Thunder God, request all heroes to accompany Me once more to let the glory of Asgard spread throughout the Universe."
Thor, raising Stormbreaker high, was brimming with fighting spirit, instantly igniting the battle will of all the heroes in Valhalla.
"For Asgard!"
Rolling roars, like thunder, echoed throughout Asgard.
On Earth, Sorcerer Ancient One sighed deeply.
Although this battle was not directly against Earth, with such a Universe-level crisis, Earth, being in the midst of it, could not remain uninvolved!
"The Loki from beyond the dimensions still covets Earth. If the sorcerers go to fight the Universe crisis, Earth's safety cannot be guaranteed."
"Mordo, for now, I shall entrust the Cloak of Levitation and the Eye of Agamotto to you. You shall temporarily take the position of Sorcerer Supreme."
"Wong, you must assist Mordo well in protecting Earth."
After deliberation, Sorcerer Ancient One still decided to go to battle alone, after all, dimensional demons like Dormammu had always been persistent in their designs on Earth.
"Supreme One, please take the Cloak of Levitation and the Eye of Agamotto with you. They can protect your safety."
Upon hearing Ancient One's instructions, Mordo quickly said.
He had been informed by Ancient One of the dangers of this great war, and he also understood Ancient One's intention in leaving these two magic artifacts to him.
However, worried about Ancient One's safety, he still wanted Ancient One to take these two artifacts for self-defense.
"With My strength, these two items are of little use to Me. I am leaving. You two protect Earth for Me."
With that, Ancient One opened a portal and headed towards Apokolips.
At this moment on Apokolips, several Omega-level Mutants, led by Nur, were already prepared to offer their lives for Kytheron at any time!
There was no fear, only excitement.
"It's finally My time to show what I can do, Bobby. This time, let's have a competition!"
Pyro John looked excited. After fully mastering the Eternal Flame, he was now exceptionally inflated and urgently needed a real battle to prove himself, and this was the best opportunity.
"John, you're getting too carried away. This time, our opponents are Phoenix Force wielders as powerful as Your Highness Jean. You'll die acting like this."
Seeing John's appearance, Nur said sternly.
As Kytheron's High Priest, he naturally understood Jean, this disciple of the god. Kytheron had once told him that Jean possessed the power to instantly kill him, so he had been extremely wary of Jean ever since.
After all, his strength came from thousands of years of accumulation, and the coordination of various abilities, and there was still a chasm between him and the Omega-level Mutants with infinite potential.
Upon hearing Nur's reprimand, John immediately reined in his expression, but the burning fighting spirit in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.
"Your Highness Jean, after a Phoenix host dies, their power will flow into the other hosts, and you have not been negatively affected by the Phoenix Force, so you will be the most crucial person in this battle."
"As the Phoenix hosts become fewer and fewer, the battle will become increasingly difficult. At that time, we will have to rely on your power!"
Nur also had a very clear goal for this battle, which was to eliminate as many other Phoenix hosts as possible to nourish Jean.
As for Wu Fengji, who also possessed the Phoenix Force, he consciously excluded her, after all, the other party was just someone unrelated to Apokolips.
Jean actually still didn't want to get involved in the battle, but she had no choice. Now that Kytheron was nowhere to be found, in order to change the outcome of her dream of the future, she could only embark on the path of eliminating other Phoenix hosts, as she had done in her dream.
Unable to prevent the demise of many Phoenixes, then at least she had to rewrite the fate of Kytheron being killed and the Universe being destroyed in her dream.
Therefore, she just silently nodded to Nur's arrangement.
