**Chapter 704: Ultra-Omega Level**
"We need to find a way to acquire more Phoenix Fragments and let Jean completely eliminate the Dark Phoenix." Tony said calmly, looking at the unconscious Jean.
Professor X said worriedly, "I'm more inclined to have her resolve her inner conflict, because the Dark Phoenix is essentially her own Alternate Personality..."
Magneto snorted coldly, scoffing, "Resolve? Jean has been with you since she was a teenager. After all these years, has she resolved anything? Under your care, the Dark Phoenix has only grown stronger, to the point where it can no longer be suppressed! Jean becoming this way is largely due to you. If you had followed my method back then, allowing Jean to gradually understand and use this Power, instead of sealing it like you did, things wouldn't have come to this."
Professor X's face was filled with guilt, and a flicker of pain crossed his eyes.
When Jean was young, he sought her out and took her under his wing, carefully nurturing her. Professor X's method for dealing with the Phoenix Force was to use his powerful Psychic Power to create a cage for Jean, locking the Phoenix Force inside. He intended to wait until the time was right to release it, allowing Jean to fully control this terrifying Power.
Unfortunately, that time never came.
"It's pointless to talk about that now," Tony said, stroking his chin. "Besides, it's hard to say whether Professor X's approach was right or wrong. If Professor X hadn't applied that mental Seal back then, it's hard to say if Jean could have withstood the immense pressure of the Phoenix Force. She might have simply broken down."
"Are there any leads on new Phoenix Fragments?" Professor X asked.
"Of course. It's a fragment no less powerful than the one inside Jean."
"I'm more worried about whether Jean can control the new fragments. It would be troublesome if her Alternate Personality seized them," Magneto said.
Tony smiled, "With me here, the Dark Phoenix won't get a chance."
At his words, Professor X and Old Man Magneto felt reassured.
If Tony said so, then it was bound to succeed.
And Tony himself was indeed confident.
The Dark Phoenix Jean wasn't as ridiculously powerful as one might think. At least with Tony's current methods, he could completely suppress her. It would be truly tricky if it were the White Phoenix Jean.
As for the Phoenix Egg that originally belonged to Thane, it was generally at a Level Seven standard—perhaps even stronger, Thane just hadn't fully unleashed it—but it definitely wouldn't cross into Level Eight. As long as it wasn't Level Eight, Tony had absolute confidence in suppressing any defiance.
"Once Jean's issue is resolved, she will truly be an Omega Mutant, and we'll have one less worry," Tony said.
Jean and Wanda, two Omega Mutants, were actually a bit "watered down." Their immense power came from external forces, not entirely from within themselves.
Individuals like Iceman Bobby and Psylocke Elizabeth were truly Omega Mutants, possessing infinite potential, progressing steadily step by step, with countless great powers accumulating within themselves.
After seeing off Professor X and the others, Tony pondered quietly, his fingers unconsciously tapping the table with a rhythmic sound.
"What are you thinking about?" Wanda asked, placing a cup of tea in Tony's hand, then settling onto his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Omega," Tony replied. "The four existing Omega Mutants on Earth—you, Jean, Bobby, and Elizabeth—are now all residents of Cybertron. But there's actually one more Ultra-Omega Level Mutant. He's born at Level Seven and can reach Level Eight through normal growth."
Comparing people just makes you furious. This fifth Omega Level Mutant had an Overpowered Trait from birth.
While Tony was still struggling to gain even a little Power, that brat could create galaxies at birth, with planets for toys.
Just by eating and drinking, his Combat Power would skyrocket.
This fifth Omega Level Mutant was Mister Fantastic Richard's son, Franklin. Of course, the brat hadn't been born yet.
Even if his father was a cheater, his son's Cheat was even greater; it was enough to make diligent, hardworking people die of sheer frustration.
Tony had actually been waiting. Franklin, this kind of born Monster, was likely to be born in the next few years. Even if Tony became the One-Above-All, preventing Franklin's birth would require significant effort.
A Mutant who could rapidly advance just by eating and drinking without doing anything, an individual nominally an Omega Mutant whose potential index had long surpassed the limits of an Omega, necessitating the vague concept of an "Ultra-Omega" to describe this Monster.
A powerful, deranged brat born with a multitude of Golden Fingers.
"An Ultra-Omega Level Mutant? Aren't there no Mutants left on Earth anymore? Since we left Earth six years ago, the distribution of Gene Serums across the entire planet hasn't stopped. How can such a powerful Mutant still be born now?" Wanda asked, astonished.
"For other Mutants, including Omega Mutants like yourself, it's no problem to suppress you before you fully develop, or to block your X-Genes with Gene Serums... but it's useless against an Ultra-Omega Level Mutant. For that guy, the Timeline is a toy in his hands. Everything in the world is just a comic book to him; he can mess with it however he pleases. Small tricks like distributing Gene Serums simply cannot prevent his birth."
"Not even if you're the One-Above-All? You've already fixed this Universe's Timeline."
"He doesn't need to touch the past. He only needs to modify the future Universal rules. He can completely bypass my Singularity Light. As long as I don't deliberately try to eliminate him, his birth will become a fixed fact in the near future." Tony took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
Honestly, Tony truly had no intention of killing Franklin. It wasn't that he couldn't do it, but he wasn't so bored as to go out of his way to eliminate someone who had no impact on him.
If anything, he'd be more willing to bring this unprecedented Ultra-Omega Level Mutant under his command.
This would be equivalent to tying the Fantastic Four to his Battle Vehicle as well, and Mister Fantastic's wisdom would also become part of Tony's Power.
Tony was now even a little bit looking forward to Franklin's birth. He just hoped Mister Fantastic would put in more effort and focus on important life matters, instead of always expending his energy on the experiment bench.
"Alright, I should get going too. I need to find clues to the Phoenix Egg; we have to solve Jean's problem first." Tony drained the tea cup and affectionately patted Wanda's head.
"I'm coming too," Wanda said seriously, swatting Tony's hand away.
"If you wish."
Tony picked up Wanda, casually tore open a Portal, and headed towards a hidden location in the Main Universe.
The God Quarry.
