The flames leaped, brimming with warmth and the breath of life! Yet, they also concealed a terrifying power capable of incinerating everything!
"I feel better than ever before!" Qin looked at the flame in her palm, her eyes sparkling with excitement! "I can clearly feel its presence! I can guide it! I can even make it obey my commands!"
"Although I can't completely control it yet, at least I'm not as afraid of losing control as I used to be!"
"This is all thanks to you, Lin!" Qin looked up, gazing at Lin Tian with eyes full of gratitude and love. "If it weren't for you, I probably would have..."
"Alright, it's all in the past." Lin Tian interrupted her and gently pulled her into his arms. "From now on, with me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."
"Mmm!" Qin buried her face in Lin Tian's arms, feeling the comforting scent, and nodded happily.
Lin Tian held the newborn phoenix goddess in his arms, his heart filled with satisfaction and pride.
very good!
The most important target in the X-Men universe has been completely captured!
And the results far exceeded expectations!
Not only did they gain the Queen of Limitless Potential, Jean!
It has also elevated my understanding of the origin of power to a new level! I'm only one step away from breaking through to the fourth level!
Jean Grey's successful "transformation," and her undisguised intimate relationship with Lin Tian, were like a boulder thrown into the calm (on the surface) lake of Xavier's Academy, causing quite a stir once again.
Everyone felt the terrifying power emanating from Qin, a power that was both sacred and dangerous! They also saw the fanatical and submissive look in her eyes when she looked at Lin Tian!
This made the X-Men members even more wary of Lin Tian, and also filled them with worry about Jean's future.
The feelings of Storm Ororo Monroe, who was also considered a "target" by Lin Tian, and Mystique Raven (Mistra), who was "recruited" by Lin Tian and placed back into the Brotherhood, were even more complicated.
Ororo Monroe, the proud weather goddess, was deeply shocked after witnessing Jean overcome her fear of losing control of her power under Lin Tian's "guidance" and even master the nascent Phoenix Force, which was capable of destroying the world. Her strength underwent a tremendous leap, and her heart was greatly impacted.
Shock! Envy! And an intense longing!
She longed to be like Qin! To break through her own limitations with Lin Tian's "help" and glimpse a higher realm of power! Tiger.
108 Emperor's Mindsets! The Fate of Storm and Mystique
She longed to be like Qin, receiving such "dedicated" guidance and "intimate" treatment from Lin Tian!
Although she knew what that so-called "special guidance" might mean.
Although deep down, she still retained a trace of queenly pride and wariness of Lin Tian's domineering style.
But faced with the allure of absolute power and Lin Tian's irresistible charm, which was akin to that of a god,...
Her modesty and hesitation seemed so pale and powerless.
She began to more proactively ask Lin Tian questions about energy manipulation and the laws of nature.
During training, she would work even harder to demonstrate her powerful control over storms and thunder, trying to attract Lin Tian's "attention" and "appreciation".
She would even occasionally use suggestive words and glances to test Lin Tian's attitude when they were alone together.
For example, she might "casually" complain that she has reached a bottleneck in her abilities and longs for "deeper" guidance.
For example, she would "curiously" ask whether the "special" energy resonance between Lin Tian and Qin also applied to herself.
For example, she might wear a sexy, tight-fitting outfit and "accidentally" show off her powerful and exotic mature curves in front of Lin Tian.
Aurora's little tricks naturally did not escape Lin Tian's notice.
He knew that this proud Storm Goddess was also about to lose her temper.
It's time to completely incorporate her into my "harem."
Lin Tian did not rush to provide Ororo with "in-depth guidance" immediately.
He maintained that aloof, mysterious, and controlling demeanor.
He patiently answered Ororo's questions about power and gave her some extremely subtle and crucial guidance, which she found very helpful and deepened her respect for Lin Tian.
However, he would not easily satisfy her desire for "deeper guidance," leaving her with a constant sense of anxiety and anticipation of "wanting but not getting."
At the same time, he would occasionally show her a glimpse of his godlike control over energy, even influencing the laws of heaven and earth, making her more aware of the enormous gap in strength between them, thus completely dispelling the last thought of resistance in her heart.
This is a complex mix of emotions, including temptation, anticipation, awe, and powerlessness.
Ororo Monroe's psychological defenses are crumbling little by little.
She felt like a frog being slowly boiled in lukewarm water, knowing the danger yet still unable to escape.
She knew that it was only a matter of time before she completely submitted to that man.
Meanwhile, Raven, the Mystique who was "tamed" by Lin Tian and given the new identity "Mystique," is living an even more "exciting" and "stimulating" life.
Following Lin Tian's instructions, she returned to the Brotherhood of Mutants' base.
With her superb acting skills and shapeshifting ability, she easily fooled everyone, including Magneto Erik, who still harbored illusions and concerns about her.
She lied, claiming that she had used her beauty and cunning to successfully bewitch Lin Tian, gain some of his trust, and find some "important intelligence" about his weaknesses (which Lin Tian deliberately let her "find").
Although Magneto was disheartened by his previous crushing defeat, hearing the "good news" from Raven rekindled his hope! Perhaps there really was a chance to turn the tide? He trusted and relied on Raven even more.
Raven (Mistra) used this trust to begin a sweeping "purge" and "integration" within the fraternity.
She eliminated those radical members who were too loyal to Magneto or who might threaten Lin Tian's future plans one by one through various "accidents" or "framing" methods!
At the same time, she promoted some of her own people who were not very strong but were quick-witted and easy to control, and gradually took control of the Brotherhood's actual power!
Magneto was aware of this, but because of his "trust" in Raven (or perhaps his judgment was clouded by Lin Tian's "Hehuan Mark"), he did not interfere much.
And so, the Brotherhood of Mutants, which had once caused headaches for governments around the world, had unknowingly become another hidden force under Lin Tian's command, under the covert manipulation of Mistra, the "new queen"!
Of course, while completing the tasks assigned by her "master", Mistra did not forget her own "cultivation".
The simplified method of the "modified version" of the Yin-Yang Harmony Scripture that Lin Tian taught her was practically tailor-made for her!
She can use her shapeshifting ability to transform into all sorts of stunning beauties that men (and even women?) find irresistible!
Then, during "close contact" with the target, silently absorb their life energy, genetic information, and even special abilities?! Feedback this information to Lin Tian, who is in another dimension! At the same time, it also tempers itself and enhances its strength!
This feeling of plundering others' power in ecstasy, like a banshee, filled Mistra with immense excitement and intoxication!
She felt like a dancer walking on a knife's edge! It was both dangerous and thrilling!
She even started to enjoy this life as a double agent!
Of course, deep down, her fear and submission to Lin Tian never disappeared.
On the contrary, it becomes more profound with each completion of a "mission" and each increase in strength!
She knew that everything she had came from that man who was like a demon king.
She was his sharpest knife, his most alluring poison, and his most loyal servant.
Thus began the period during which Lin Tian left X Academy, returned to the secret base, and prepared for the next stage of his interstellar journey.
Storm Ororo, driven by her thirst for power and her awe of Lin Tian, gradually teeters on the brink of submission.
Mystique, driven by loyalty and desire, has completely transformed into the most dangerous and alluring Queen of the Night in Lin Tian's hands.
The territory of the Lin Tianhou Palace Group has expanded once again.
Although the process of these two queens "belonging" was not as full of "ritual" and "deep integration" as Qin's.
They might not love Lin Tian as purely and completely as Qin did.
Their submission stemmed more from their desire for power, their awe of the strong, and their resigned choice to their own fate.
But this does not prevent them from becoming powerful and unique members of Lin Tian's "harem".
after all
For Lin Tian
Whether it's a willing love or a reluctant surrender
final result
all the same.
That is
Become his woman
Used by him
She would give everything for him.
And he
They will be selected based on their "performance" and "value".
They were given corresponding "favor" and "status".
The art of rulership is nothing more than this.
Lin Tian's existence is like a sword hanging over the heads of all mutants in the X-Men universe, a Damocles' sword radiating endless pressure and unknown chill.
This feeling is especially profound for the two former "kings" of this universe—Professor X, Charles Xavier, and Magneto, Erik Lansheer.
They stand at the pinnacle of the mutant hierarchy: one a telepathic master with the most powerful brain, the other the Magnet King who can manipulate the Earth's magnetic field. They were once best friends and also greatest enemies. For decades, they fought, cooperated, and entangled for the future of mutants, together shaping the world's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing overall structure, overall situation, and overall dynamics).
They thought they had seen enough storms and faced enough challenges. Whether it was discrimination and persecution by human governments, the extinction crisis of the Sentinel robots, or ancient tyrants like Apocalypse, they had faced them together (or against them) and ultimately (or tragically) achieved victory.
They believed they had reached the pinnacle of power and wisdom.
Until Lin Tian appeared.
This Eastern man, who descended like a god or demon, shattered their pride and confidence with an utterly unreasonable and overwhelming manner.
Charles's proud mental strength was like a stream encountering the ocean before Lin Tian's vast and boundless primordial spirit—utterly insignificant, not even worthy of a glimpse! Every attempt was like throwing an egg against a rock, only to result in a spiritual backlash that made his soul tremble!
Eric's prized magnetic field control was like a child's toy compared to Lin Tian's terrifying power, which involved the laws of nature! His prized metal storm, capable of destroying planets, was effortlessly neutralized by a single finger, even transforming into a vibrant garden?! This godlike approach completely shattered his belief in being one of the strongest mutants in the BFBI!
What terrified and frustrated them even more was the change in the women around Lin Tian!
Jean Grey! The girl who once struggled in agony because she couldn't control her power! Under Lin Tian's "guidance," she has actually begun to master the Phoenix Force, which is powerful enough to destroy the universe?! Although it is still unstable, the terrifying pressure it exudes has far surpassed that of the two of them!
Ororo Monroe! That proud Storm Goddess! After interacting with Lin Tian, not only did her power become purer and stronger, but even her temperament underwent a subtle change? Her eyes, when looking at Lin Tian, were filled with awe and an indescribable dependence?!
And then there's the witch-like redhead, Wanda (893)! And Gwen (964), the ghostly black spider! The power and killing methods they displayed sent chills down the spines of even these battle-hardened mutant leaders! (460)
Even Eric's most trusted lieutenant, the cunning and fickle Mystique Raven! After attempting to get close to Lin Tian, she vanished without a trace, as if she had evaporated into thin air?! Eric had no doubt that she had likely also fallen into that man's clutches! Perhaps even been transformed into something like the women around him?!
Faced with such a terrifying existence whose strength is unfathomable, whose methods are unpredictable, and who is constantly "collecting" and "strengthening" powerful female mutants!
Charles and Eric, former rivals, now feel the same despair and powerlessness!
They have completely lost the courage to confront them!
Because they knew that any resistance would be futile! It might even bring annihilation to the entire mutant race!
After Lin Tian left X Academy and returned to his secret base.
Charles and Eric held an extremely rare and very serious secret meeting.
The location was in the main hall of Xavier's School of Architecture, which had been repaired (but the cracks in the walls seemed to silently tell the story of the previous tragedy).
The previous sharp confrontations and ideological clashes are gone.
Only deep silence and repression remained.
"What should we do, Charles?" Finally, Eric broke the silence. His voice was hoarse, carrying an undisguised weariness and...fear? "That man is too powerful. We are no match for him."
He didn't even dare to call Lin Tian by his name anymore, as if the name itself contained some kind of forbidden magic.
Charles looked at his old friend, now also shrouded in fear and helplessness, and felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.
“I don’t know, Eric.” Charles shook his head, his eyes filled with confusion. “His power system is completely beyond our comprehension. I can’t even be sure if he is human or some kind of higher-dimensional being.”
“But one thing is certain,” Charles’s eyes grew serious, “he has an extremely strong interest in mutants, especially powerful female mutants. The changes in Jean and Ororo are the best proof of that.”
"What on earth does he want?!" Eric slammed his hand on the armrest of his wheelchair (with his uninjured hand, of course). "Does he want to turn all the powerful mutants into his collection?! His slaves?!"
“I don’t know,” Charles shook his head again. “His motives are unfathomable. Perhaps it’s for power? Perhaps for some grander scheme? Or perhaps…”
A strange glint flashed in Charles's eyes: "Perhaps he simply finds it amusing?"
interesting?!
Eric nearly vomited blood again from anger when he heard that word!
To manipulate these top mutants like puppets! To treat their fates as a game?!
This is the greatest insult ever!!!
