MCU- CH-206. Dispelia is welcoming it's King

When Luke returned to his own universe, the entire universe spontaneously celebrated. It was the universe's pan-consciousness instinctively thanking Luke.

It was clear that the planet Dispelia, where Luke resided, would truly become the center of the universe—not just in the physical sense, but in a spiritual one as well.

As a result, those under Luke's protection on Dispelia would gain immense benefits. At the very least, they would receive the blessing of the cosmic consciousness in this universe.

"Has the crisis been resolved? Have we escaped the fate of destruction?"

"His Majesty, the God King of Dispelia, has defeated the great demon, and we are saved!"

"I hope this disaster ends here. This universe can no longer withstand such destruction!"

"Alas! Our losses are too great. The Empire lost 60% of its troops in the previous Phoenix War, and the impact has even shaken the foundation of the Empire!"

"Don't worry, we are not the only ones who have suffered losses. Everyone has suffered similarly. Besides, as long as our core remains intact, the Empire's glory will be restored soon."

The surviving leaders of various space empires began to strategize on how to restore vitality to their lands after the war.

Luke, however, was indifferent to their plans. At this moment, he looked at the Phoenix hosts in the void, bound like eternal, miniature suns. With a wave of his hand, he seized control of them all.

Had it been the complete Phoenix Force, Luke might not have been able to control it so easily. But these were still incomplete entities, and he effortlessly sealed them, locking them away in an isolated dimension.

The way his willpower had drawn the Phoenix Force was an unexpected benefit.

Originally, Luke's only plan had been to make the Phoenix Force within Jean more complete.

Unexpectedly, it attracted all the Phoenix fragments scattered throughout the multiverse!

However, he couldn't simply destroy all the other Phoenix hosts and leave Jean as the sole bearer of the Phoenix Force. Everything had to be approached gradually.

Although Jean hadn't succumbed to a darker path due to Luke's decisive actions, the integration between her and the Phoenix was much higher.

But if he simply forced all the remaining Phoenix fragments into her, it would undoubtedly cause issues.

Thus, this matter needed to be handled slowly. After all, those Phoenix hosts couldn't escape, and perhaps their lives could be spared.

Many of them, after all, had faces identical to Jean's, though they were merely counterparts from other universes.

After handling the Phoenix hosts, Luke returned to Dispelia, all eyes watching him with reverence.

Instead of directly basking in the applause, he landed atop his palace.

Raising his hand, the ground around him shook as massive stone pillars rose from the earth. The crowd gathering to welcome him looked on, confused by his actions.

"Bobby, what do you think Lord is doing?"

John tugged at his friend beside him.

"I'm not sure! But I think it'll be something amazing!"

Bobby shook his head, his eyes full of admiration.

Having witnessed Luke's power time and again, Iceman Bobby's faith in him was engraved in his soul. Whatever Luke did, he believed it had to be extraordinary.

In the next moment, they understood.

In a flash, Luke produced the nearly 100-meter-long headless body of a red demon, exuding a terrifying and familiar pressure.

"It's that demon god!"

John's face turned pale. When they fought against the Black Phoenixes, he thought those enemies were powerful. But he hadn't expected an even greater threat would emerge.

Had Luke not arrived in time, they would have been annihilated!

The body of Cyttorak had been condensed by Luke, its immense pressure sealed to avoid overwhelming Dispelia.

Luke took out Cyttorak's still-beating heart and hung the body on a stone pillar.

"Cyttorak, your heart is all we need to study your life code. As for your remains, they will adorn this pillar of glory as a banner of my reign over Dispelia."

"Don't worry, you won't be alone. In time, successors to your power will join you on these pillars."

Luke spoke quietly.

"That has to be a warning. We must never offend this great god in the future!"

"Just look at that corpse. Anyone who sees it would tremble inside. Who would dare trouble him? And see how many empty pillars await?"

"I've decided—I'm staying in my own dimension forever. I pray I never see trouble like this."

The sight of Luke's actions left a group of hardened warriors from across the multiverse trembling, lacking even the courage to look directly at Cyttorak's remains.

"Luke, you actually killed that great demon. We thought you'd merely expelled him back to his own dimension."

"You've saved our universe once again, and even the universe itself is grateful!"

Thor still looked familiar, seeming undeterred by the drastic changes in their hierarchy.

"This gratitude is simply the universe's wishful thinking. I wasn't fighting to save the universe."

Luke responded casually.

"No matter your reasons, the universe still stands because of you. You're so powerful now—I can't even fathom the gap between us."

"I still remember when we first met. Back then, I wanted to defeat you and add a new trophy to my collection."

Thor spoke with a hint of regret.

Though his own power had grown greatly, the gap between him and Luke only widened.

Once, he had dreamed of surpassing Luke, but now he had wholly given up!

With Luke as the protector and cornerstone of the universe, Thor even considered leaving Asgard to Loki and journeying through the cosmos himself.

"Thor, when did you become so sentimental? This isn't like you at all."

"Come on! Let's drink. This battle was truly exhilarating!"

Seeing Thor in low spirits, Luke slapped his back with a laugh and led him off to drink!

Meanwhile, all mutants, elves, and dwarves on Dispelia gathered in the massive square.

It was another grand feast. Though it hadn't been long since the last, this reunion after a cosmic catastrophe carried a unique sense of celebration.
