Chapter 388 - 385 In Search Of An Alliance, The Hosts Are Chosen
The Phoenix Force was broken and scattered all over the world.
Erik, in California, Charles, in Westchester County.
This pair of destined friends were once again connected in an unexpected way.
However, besides the two of them, other hosts took this opportunity to rise again.
For example --
A certain loser who had failed completely and was paralyzed in bed.
"It's so dark. I can't see anything."
The special tight-fitting diving suit outlined the slender curves of the woman in the cabin.
Her waist-length, seaweed-like hair spreads out, giving her an extra touch of mysterious beauty.
"That's just how it is underwater."
The captain's eyes were locked on the woman, like magnets attracted to each other, and he couldn't move his eyes away.
"This is one of the routes to the capital of Atlantis, Poseidonia, and it takes about 40 minutes to reach the outer city, where the undersea people allow human activity, around the port."
The woman felt the captain's unabashedly passionate eyes that seemed to melt her.
She didn't care, but pushed up her chest, making the lines even more exaggerated.
"Is that so? You're very knowledgeable, Stefan."
The woman covered her lips lightly, her smile was charming, and her amber eyes seemed to hint at something.
The long trailing tone made the man's heart skip a beat.
Hiss!
This unquenchable fascination!
Those crew members quickly lowered their heads for fear of causing displeasure and scolding from the captain.
They didn't know who this woman was. She came down to this submarine with the captain.
Theoretically speaking, the trade channel to Atlantis didn't allow strangers outside the military to enter without authorization.
Whether it was a merchant ship or an incoming or outgoing submarine.
All members were required to have their passes checked, or they wouldn't be allowed in.
But the highly qualified Captain Stefan did so as if he was possessed, trying to win the heart of a woman.
This was done at the cost of a promising career and a great future.
At first, the crew didn't understand.
But later, when they saw the woman with their own eyes, they couldn't help but change their minds.
If they could get the favor of the other party, even if they were subjected to court martial, it would be worth it!
The captain's obsession was like a terrible epidemic that was spreading rapidly.
All the crew members fell in love with the mysterious woman. Even if she just looked at them one more time, it was an enormous blessing.
"Heh, men…"
The woman tossed her hair, pleased with her charm.
Even the nobles of the Senate of the Roman Republic, the Emperors of Persia, and the Kings of England … had all fallen at their feet.
It was normal for these ordinary people to indulge in her smile, and they couldn't help themselves.
'In this world, the only one who can resist me is probably … Superman. '
The beautiful woman named Selene was in a complicated mood. Not being able to sleep with the other person was one of her biggest regrets.
If she could have sex with the strongest and most powerful man on the planet, it would be a great enrichment of experience and position.
'Sooner or later, I will be able to conquer him and become a god. '
Selene, the Black Queen, confidently thought so.
She was no longer the same!
The flame-like sparkling crystal gave the mutant witch a whole new level of power.
'As host of the Phoenix…'
The Black Queen opened her palm, and a wisp of illusory flame floated and swayed on it.
Two days ago, she sensed the call of this force.
At that time, Selene was in London, England, thinking about how to establish a sect, trick souls, and perform her own rituals, to become a god.
The fragments of the Phoenix Force came to her on its own initiative. She immediately accepted the gift without much hesitation.
Compared with Erik, Charles, who passively became a host for the Phoenix, the Black Queen was much more direct.
The reason was also very simple.
Selene had heard of the Phoenix Force.
This was one of the advantages of living for a very long time.
With long life, one could accumulate a lot of insights and things that ordinary people couldn't even imagine.
That was a powerful force that once burned Apocalypse half to death!
'I still need to find the others. '
The Black Queen rolled her eyes, and her thoughts returned to the present.
This was the main reason why she went to Atlantis.
Mutants on earth who were qualified to form alliances with her were basically dead.
Sebastian Shaw of Hellfire Club was hammered down by Superman.
Mister Sinister Nathaniel Essex also died at the hands of Superman.
In addition, the time-traveling master Kang the Conqueror was also pleasantly sent away.
'The Phoenix Force isn't interested in the mutants' personality. '
The Black Queen remembered the former King of Atlantis, Namor, who suffered a broken back.
She heard about that fool from Sebastian Shaw.
His IQ was always hindered by his raging emotions, he was easy to control and single-minded.
These negative comments, which seemed to be perfectly in line with someone being an 'idiotic teammate', had instead become positive factors for the Black Queen to choose as a partner.
'I need a guy like that. '
Selene moved. She didn't do anything but charm the captain a bit.
Her seductive talent, enhanced by the Phoenix Force, was simply irresistible to ordinary people.
At this time, even if the Black Queen ordered the men in the submarine to die for her, they would only swallow the muzzle of their guns and kill themselves with satisfied smiles.
"That …"
"Go away! "
Perhaps the simp captain was noisy, the Black Queen frowned and shouted at him.
"All right."
Being insulted like this, the captain didn't get angry but showed an understanding smile.
This was the goddess's test for himself and a special treatment that only he could get.
The captain left contentedly, and Atlantis was ahead.
"Here we are."
The submarine passed through the heavy scrutiny of the Marine Corps and docked at the port in the outer city area.
The Black Queen, wearing a diving suit and an oxygen helmet, opened the cabin valve of the submarine.
The waterways leading to Atlantis were divided into sea trade routes and underwater transportation routes.
The marine sections were mainly responsible for supplying all kinds of minerals. The underwater sector is a more secretive exchange.
It was a way for the major countries to contact the robe aristocrats of the city.
"Atlantis."
The Black Queen looked up—the magnificent walls of the city and the glorious palace that stood above the underwater island.
The shuttle crafts were moving back and forth along a dense route, creating a neat and orderly transportation system in the city.
A few moments later, a conspicuously dressed Selene entered the underwater prison located in the western part of the capital.
As a powerful witch and a mutant strengthened by the Phoenix Force…
It wasn't difficult for her to sneak into Atlantis's prison, and its own guard force was very mediocre. The Black Queen entered as if she was entering her own backyard, not even wearing a disguise.
"Namor…"
Selene was looking for the target.
The former King of the Sea, who was charged with 'crimes against humanity,' 'attempted destruction of the world,' and 'collaborating with extremists', was held here.
Compared to the palace dormitories in the royal city, the damp, dark, and murky cells were undoubtedly an unbearable environment.
But for Namor, if he could continue to live, it was already the mercy of the aristocrats.
This was also because he was so badly injured that he couldn't even stand up.
Namor, who had lost his popularity, his power, and everything, posed no threat to the reign of the robed aristocrats.
Keeping him would help to shape the image of the benevolence of the aristocrats.
Otherwise, the hypocrites wouldn't mind sentencing the fallen King to the guillotine.
