After finishing all this, Pietro flashed back into the barrier.

"Sis! Bro is back!"

Wanda said exasperatedly, "Pietro! Why did you run back again? Didn’t I tell you to leave?!"

Pietro grinned and assumed a defensive posture, "I’m a Speedster after all, staying behind can at least help share some pressure for you!"

"Don’t think your speed is almighty!" Wanda shouted, "If even you are forcibly controlled by her telekinesis, it will just add insult to injury for me!"

"If you really want to help, go find Lucas! Looking across the entire Earth right now, only his psychic power can completely suppress the rampaging Jean!"

"Good idea! I’m going right now!"

Pietro suddenly understood, thunder roaring on his legs, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"It seems no matter where it is, a Speedster only serves as a messenger in a major battlefield."

Just as Pietro left, a faint ripple spread through the air.

Lucas stood with his hands in his pockets, knowing no equal.

He was still holding a half-eaten apple in his hand, thoughtfully sizing up Jean.

"Lucas! You’re finally here!" Wanda let out a long sigh of relief, turning into a little lamb the moment she saw Lucas.

Weak, delicate, powerless...

"No need to rush."

Lucas rubbed Wanda’s shoulders. According to his observation, after the Phoenix Force broke through the mental seal, the tyrannical personality born from it had merged with Jean’s original main personality.

If brute force were used now to forcibly tear the two personalities apart, the weaker side would easily collapse.

And in this disparity-filled mental wrestling match, who the weaker side was went without saying.

It was bound to be Jean’s main consciousness.

To save Jean, brute force suppression must never be used. The only solution was to strengthen her main personality, let the kind main consciousness take dominance, and subsequently digest the Phoenix personality.

It sounded simple when spoken, but doing it was as hard as ascending to heaven.

Under the heavens, even someone as powerful as Ancient One could definitely not perform such a delicate psychic surgery.

But Lucas could.

After all, he played both sides, possessing both the methods of the evil faction and the methods of the good faction simultaneously.

His Omega Effect could inversely suppress the will of the Phoenix personality, and then use psychic power to perform an enhancement surgery for Jean’s main personality.

Lucas casually pulled open a space portal and escorted Wanda inside.

"You’re pregnant. Pregnant women beating people counts as a gang beating, so you should go back and rest first."

Wanda pulled his hand and asked somewhat worriedly, "Is it hard to handle? If it’s hard, don’t do it!"

"That’s not really hard!" Lucas grinned.

"It’s just that this job is relatively delicate and will take some time. During the process of mental remodeling, I cannot be disturbed by anything from the outside world, so I have to take her to the dark side of the Moon."

Go to the dark side of the Moon?

If this were anyone else, Wanda wouldn’t even dare to believe it.

"Oh! Then be careful." Wanda nodded obediently.

But just as Wanda took off her outer garments, she was completely dazed. She saw that Lucas was wearing a bathrobe, sitting on the living room sofa with his legs crossed over the coffee table, gracefully sipping black tea.

spongebob squarepants was still playing on the television opposite.

Wanda stood blankly in place, blinking, "You... weren’t you just on the battlefield?"

Lucas turned his head, his orchid finger extremely graceful.

"What you said is completely right, but I wanted to binge-watch shows at home today, so I let my clone go to the dark side of the Moon, while I myself have never left. Quite a convenient ability, isn’t it?"

Wanda’s red lips slightly parted, "Cl-Clone? Then why didn’t you use it earlier!"

Cough cough!

Is this something that can be said out loud?

Right at this moment, a fierce wind suddenly whipped up outside the town Villa!

Quicksilver crashed through the door covered in sweat, the soles of his shoes even scorching and smoking.

Like a headless fly, he sped across half of the U.S., frantically searching for Lucas’s trace, only to fail to find him even after almost getting cramps in his legs.

But when he stumbled into the living room and looked up, he saw that Wanda had already changed into home clothes, her pretty face flush, snuggled in Lucas’s arms, the two of them communicating feelings without paying attention to anyone else.

Hey! Are you guys just making out?

Can you just handcuff and take these two adulterers away?

Pietro completely collapsed onto the ground, his eyeballs almost popping out, "You... why are you here? You clearly weren’t here just a moment ago!"

Snap!

Before Pietro could finish speaking, Lucas didn’t even turn his head, casually snapping his fingers.

Pietro was instantly teleported to the Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters.

Falling flat on his face in front of everyone.

What a commotion!

Didn’t you see people making out here, lacking any tact!

At the same time.

Wolverine Logan suddenly snapped back to his senses. Before his eyes were no longer destructive ruins, but a calm and peaceful campus. That future had been successfully rewritten, and he had returned once again to the Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters.

Logan returned to the office and grabbed Professor Charles in the wheelchair, "Professor! Where is Jean? Jean is still alive, right?!"

The senile Professor Charles wore a puzzled expression. After using psychic ability to probe Logan’s memories, he let out a deep sigh.

"Logan... in the already altered history, Jean Grey has never had any romantic entanglement with you or Scott."

"Many years ago, she followed the Supreme Witch into seclusion in the mountains, and no one else in the entire Universe can ever find her trace."

Logan stood in the sunlight, feeling as if struck by lightning.

How is this any different from being cuckolded?

An indescribable sense of loss welled up in Logan’s heart.

...

The dark side of the Moon.

Endless darkness filled the entire void. In the pitch-black crater, the atmosphere was somewhat exceptionally fiery.

The clothing that was originally wrapped around Jean’s body had long been shattered into powder by the True Fire of the Phoenix!

At this moment, Jean was naked with her fine, delicate body, emitting a scorching red light all over. Her pair of eyes rippled with endless coquettishness and allure, making her look entirely like a Lustful Loki.

Wanting to completely devour and wipe Lucas clean.

Lucas saw at a glance that this enchanting monster was no longer human. The fragments of the Phoenix Force were still struggling on their deathbed, trying to devour Lucas’s mind with primitive desires.

"Evildoer, I have come to assist you in your cultivation!"

Before he could make a move, the out-of-control Jean had already coiled around Lucas’s body like a water snake.

Her red lips, carrying a high temperature, fiercely kissed Lucas’s lips!

Lucas’s eyes suddenly opened wide, the Omega Effect.

That anti-free-will power caused the anti-personality of the Phoenix fragment to fail to last even a few seconds before being distorted away.

Even the Phoenix Force in its prime wasn’t taken seriously by Lucas, let alone just a mere fragment.

From now on, these energies would obey Lucas alone.

Immediately after, Lucas began to strengthen Jean’s personality power.

The main task was to awaken and strengthen Jean’s most beautiful and purest personality memories in her heart.

"Let me see, what is your most beautiful memory?"

In the memory, the town Villa late at night.

Sounds that made one blush and heartbeat fast came from the Master bedroom. Lucas frowned, why did this place look somewhat familiar!
