The One Whose Surname Is Wan Refuses to Show Respect?

After Empress Lilandra died, the portion of the Phoenix Force she had absorbed showed no intention of escaping. Instead, it struggled to return to Ava’s body. It seemed that even this portion of the Phoenix Force understood that entering Ava’s body was its only way to survive.

However, how could Li Congxin possibly let it have its way?

Before the Phoenix Force could break free of his control, the giant palm condensed from Vengeance Divine Power suddenly tightened its grip. Using the same method of mutual attrition as before, the two forces began wearing each other down.

Same recipe as before, same familiar flavor.

When Li Congxin had only been at Singular Universe level, he had already dared to engage the complete Phoenix Force in a battle of attrition. How much more so now that he had advanced into a Multiversal Level powerhouse, while the Phoenix Force before him was only half of one-fifth of its original strength?

A mere amount equivalent to one-tenth of the Phoenix Egg’s Phoenix Force was completely eroded by Li Congxin’s Vengeance Divine Power in an instant.

After dealing with the last enemy here, Li Congxin thanked the Spider-Men who had brought their own provisions to help. He then opened one Spatial Vortex after another and sent them back to their respective universes.

The others exchanged only a few polite words before entering their own Spatial Vortices. Gwen alone walked over to Li Congxin before leaving and whispered beside his ear, "You really are something. I helped you with such a huge favor, and you’re not even going to reward me?"

Li Congxin froze when he heard that and instinctively asked, "What reward do you want?"

Gwen was still wearing her Spider-Man mask, so he could not see her expression. She merely blew gently against Li Congxin’s ear and said softly, "I want you to pay me back in kind…"

"That’s easy!" Li Congxin waved a hand, and an iron box the size of a desk immediately appeared before Gwen. "This is a meal prepared personally by a three-Michelin-star chef. It includes hot dogs, steak, salad, and other dishes—enough for a hundred people. I sealed it with the laws of time, so it’ll retain the best taste it had when freshly cooked. I’m giving it to you as compensation."

Received +999 Impression Points from Gwen Stacy!

Gwen was furious!

That isn’t what I meant by paying me back in kind!

This detestable guy was definitely pretending not to understand. He absolutely was!

Gwen Stacy was, after all, the head and largest shareholder of the Gwen Corporation, with assets worth tens of billions of dollars. Did she lack a box of grilled meat?

Using this as her reward was nothing less than an insult to her! She, the dignified Gwen Stacy, had an unyielding backbone. How could she possibly be bought off by such a tiny favor?

Even if she starved to death today, died outside, or jumped from here, she absolutely would not eat a single bite of his food!

Thinking this, Gwen snatched up the huge meal box and angrily slipped into the Spatial Vortex.

Watching the little girl with her mind full of thoughts unsuitable for children leave, Li Congxin shook his head helplessly. He then turned to Tony and said, "Hurry up and install the cornerstone. Then we’ll go help with the battle over at the Himalayas."

"By the way, your armor should have heating functions, right? The weather over there is pretty cold."

"Of course!" Tony had suffered through the cold during the battle against The Mandarin, so he had naturally taken that into consideration when designing his new armor. "You’re the one dressed in rags. Don’t let the cold wind there freeze you."

"Have you ever heard of a god catching a cold?"

As they bantered, Tony ordered Eris to secretly collect several Shi’ar corpses for research while remotely directing the "cornerstone" into position. "The Sky Breaking Sword should be in your hands now, right? Then you should complete the final construction of this Sky Breaking Sword Tower yourself."

Li Congxin shook his head. "Not for now."

Tony froze and instinctively pressed him. "Why?"

"The original purpose of designing the Sky Punisher Sword Array was to prevent Dormammu from corrupting this universe. Dormammu is dead now. Although the Sky Punisher Sword Array is still needed to resist possible incursions from other demon gods, there’s no need to rush." Li Congxin sighed. "Besides, the four divine swords—Sky Punisher, Heaven Slaughter, Sky Trap, and Absolute Heaven—were damaged to varying degrees in the previous battle. As for the Sky-Shattering Sword and Sky Breaking Sword, I need to remove their gems and reforge them. In any case, I can’t set up the array right now."

Received +99,999 Impression Points from Tony Stark!

Before they set out, Tony had clearly remembered Li Congxin saying that his understanding of the universal laws of time and the mind was insufficient, and that he had to rely on the gems’ own power to forge the divine swords. How long had it been? Two hours at most, right?

And now you already had the confidence to forge the last two divine swords without using the gems?

Did that mean you were about to level up again?

As expected, this guy was simply not human. He leveled up even faster than Tony’s armor went through upgrades.

I’m a normal person. I’m not comparing myself to him!

Wrapped in Spatial Divine Power, Li Congxin brought Tony’s entire team to the Sky-Shattering Sword Tower above the lightning-fast battlefield in the Himalayas. Looking down, he saw that after the arrival of powerful reinforcements, his side had completely seized the initiative. Even Daisy had finally arrived. Mindy had already been relieved and sent to reinforce Captain America, while Dark Phoenix’s opponents had become…

Li Qianhuan, Singular Universe level;

Thor Odinson, Sky-Father level;

Daisy Johnson, Sky-Father level;

Even the weakest among them, Ghost Rider, barely possessed Sub-Celestial-level combat power. More importantly, this guy simply could not be killed! Even the Phoenix Force, which could destroy everything, had no way to deal with such a cheating immortal who had locked his health bar.

With Captain Marvel and Mindy, two Sub-Celestial-level combatants, joining the battle, the battlefield below had also completely forced the mutant army onto the back foot. If they had not known that the opposing side had been deceived and refrained from killing them, the mutant army would probably have already been wiped out.

Since everything was under control, Li Congxin was in no hurry to help. With a wave of his hand, he used spatial energy to summon Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Drax, Mantis, War Machine, Nebula, Beta Ray Bill, Doctor Hulk, Natasha, Hawkeye, and the Fantastic Four, who had been stationed elsewhere to guard the "cornerstone."

Along with the nine members of Tony’s team who had arrived earlier and Li Congxin himself, a total of twenty-four fierce warriors appeared together atop the Sky-Shattering Sword Tower.

Received +9,999 Impression Points from Charles Francis Xavier!

When the mutants in the field saw so many reinforcements appear on the Avengers’ side in the blink of an eye, their hearts collapsed.

Their battle had already fallen into an absolute disadvantage after Daisy arrived. Now the enemy had suddenly gained so many more reinforcements. How were they supposed to fight?

Never mind how strong this final wave of reinforcements was. Even if they were all about as strong as the injured Falcon from before, so many of them arriving at once would still be enough to overwhelm them. What was more, among these people was Li Congxin, who had once beaten the Phoenix senseless right before their eyes and killed Apocalypse in an instant!

Forget just these people—even if they brought over the army of future Sentinel robots mentioned by Wolverine, they would still be annihilated in seconds!

The moment Li Congxin appeared, he flew forward from the top of the tower. Terrifying pressure spread outward, instantly making everyone present feel short of breath. They had no choice but to stop fighting and resist the terrifying pressure with all their strength.

"Everyone, stop fighting for now." After successfully bringing the situation under control, Li Congxin said calmly, "I have something to say. I ask that everyone listen."

His expression was so composed, yet his tone carried an imposing authority that brooked no refusal. He had fully perfected the air of a divine swindler.

Seeing Li Congxin acting so pretentiously, Magneto, the man who cared most about appearances, immediately became displeased.

"Go to hell!" Amid his roar, the countless swords and blades he controlled in the sky all turned their points around. They formed a steel torrent and surged toward Li Congxin. Although there was no Golden Gate Bridge, stadium, or other large structure, he had still given these ordinary swords the feeling of the nameless technique Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin.

He truly lived up to his reputation as a man who loved making a scene!

However, Li Congxin felt no appreciation whatsoever for Magneto’s "grand display." On the contrary, this man who had dared to attack him while he was putting on a show had already aroused a trace of killing intent in him.

When Li Congxin appeared this time, even Dark Phoenix had obediently stopped attacking. Yet you, the man surnamed Wan, were still fighting—and attacking Li Congxin himself.

What, does what I say not count?

Are you refusing to show Hu Qiang respect?

Or perhaps, if I want these deceived mutants to wake up, making an example of someone would be a good idea?

With a thought, the swords filling the sky immediately began to weather. In an instant, they turned into countless clouds of dust and were blown away by the fierce winds of the Himalayas, no one knowing where they ended up.

After eliminating those eyesores, Li Congxin’s gaze finally fell on Magneto. He was considering whether to make Magneto and Professor X share a wheelchair and practice green transportation, or simply beat him to death and separate them forever, when a familiar voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"Clark, don’t kill him!"

It was Wanda’s voice!

Li Congxin immediately recognized that Wanda had transmitted it to him through Chaos Magic. More obviously, the energy of Wanda’s Chaos Magic was now more than twice as powerful as before!

Li Congxin instinctively stopped, only to hear Wanda continue, "I’ve already found a way to clear up this misunderstanding. Clark, killing won’t solve the problem. Leave this to me. As for Magneto… if you’re truly angry, I do have another way to let you vent today’s anger afterward. Can you leave him to me for now?" By the end, a hint of pleading had entered Wanda’s voice.

Through the mental connection established by Wanda’s Chaos Magic, Li Congxin immediately sensed two Quicksilvers and two Wandas hiding in a distant cave.

In an instant, his superbrain understood every crucial detail. He nodded lightly and said, "All right. I’ll leave him to you."

With that, he casually flicked a finger. A shockwave shot out and knocked Magneto unconscious.
