MCU- CH-197. Everyone is getting ready for the war!

Originally, the battle between the Phoenixes was confined to the more distant areas of the universe. However, as the conflict intensified, the affected regions expanded drastically.

Apart from the Shi'ar Empire, which sees the Phoenix Force as a dire threat, the other two cosmic empires and countless galactic civilizations have also mobilized their space fleets, preparing to enter the fray.

"With so many Phoenix hosts, can we really hope to defeat them all?"

"I can still vividly remember the devastation caused by Ruk Hill. Every creature, spaceship, and source of energy that neared him was turned to cosmic dust. It's eerily similar to the planets that are being destroyed now."

In the Shi'ar Empire, there was one person who survived the last campaign against the Dark Phoenix, Ruk Hill. At this moment, fear was etched across his face.

"Don't worry, we have the invincible hero Lord Dou Jian. As long as he is here, even the Phoenix will not be his match."

Some younger generations who had grown up hearing legends of the sword-fighting hero were filled with unwavering trust in the towering figure standing before the fleet.

"Oh! Let us hope so!" The old soldier sighed deeply.

On the planet Xandar, all members of the Nova Corps gathered, with 200,000 combat vehicles forming an immense defense matrix to shield Xandar from all directions.

"Warriors of the Nova Corps, for the sake of your families, defend against the oncoming crisis with the resolve to sacrifice everything!"

Queen Adora used a massive holographic projection to address each legionnaire, as well as the countless civilians living on Xandar.

"For Xandar and for the Queen, we will stand against all invaders!"

The legion leader bellowed a thunderous pre-war rallying call to all soldiers.

Meanwhile, in the Kree Empire, Ronan the Accuser, supreme commander of the Kree army, had mobilized nearly 95% of the combat units, leaving only a fraction behind to guard the empire.

According to the Supreme Intelligence, the energy fallout from this Phoenix battle alone could destroy half of the universe.

Not to mention the Phoenix hosts themselves, who were like mad forces of nature.

If left unchecked, the remaining Phoenix hosts would only grow stronger and stronger as they absorbed each other's powers.

They needed to lure some of the Phoenix hosts away, defeat them, and seal them separately.

"Warriors, it's time to show the universe the might of the Kree!"

"Charge!"

Ronan raised his Kree warhammer, which was not adorned with a power gem, and roared.

Asgard.

"Father, forgive me for disturbing the heroic spirits who should be resting in peace. This matter concerns the entire universe, and Asgard has no choice."

Thor stood before Valhalla, took a deep breath, asked for his father's forgiveness, and resolutely pushed open the doors of Valhalla.

This was the resting place of Asgard's fallen heroes and one of Asgard's ancient secrets, a place that inspired awe across the cosmos.

A blinding golden light flashed, and within the boundless expanse of Valhalla, countless warriors in golden armor stood ready.

"I, Thor, the fourth-generation God-King of Asgard and the God of Thunder, call upon all the heroic spirits to join me in spreading Asgard's glory across the universe once more."

Thor, holding Stormbreaker high, was full of fighting spirit, and the heroic spirits in Valhalla were instantly inspired.

"For Asgard!"

Their booming rally echoed like thunder throughout Asgard.

On Earth, the Ancient One sighed deeply.

Although this battle wasn't directly aimed at Earth, the planet could not remain untouched by such a cosmic crisis.

"Dimensional entities are still watching Earth closely. If the sorcerers are pulled into the cosmic conflict, Earth's safety cannot be guaranteed."

"Mordo, I entrust you with the Cloak of Levitation and the Eye of Agamotto. You will serve as the Sorcerer Supreme in my absence."

"Wong, you must assist Mordo in defending Earth."

After weighing the pros and cons, the Ancient One decided to engage in battle herself, knowing that beings like Dormammu had never ceased watching Earth.

"Supreme, please keep the Cloak and the Eye. They might protect you." Mordo urged.

Having been briefed by the Ancient One on the dangers of this war, he understood her intent in leaving the artifacts with him.

But his concern for her safety made him reluctant to let her go without them.

"My strength does not rely on these items. I'm leaving. Protect Earth for me."

With that, the Ancient One opened a portal and headed for Dispelia.

At this time on Dispelia, several Omega-level mutants led by Nur were ready to lay down their lives for Luke.

There was no fear in their eyes, only exhilaration.

"At last, a chance to prove my worth! Bobby, let's make this a competition!" John said excitedly. Now fully in control of the Eternal Fire, he was itching for a real battle, and this was the perfect opportunity.

"John, you're far too arrogant. This time our opponent is a Phoenix host as powerful as Lady Jean. You'll be dead if you keep acting so recklessly."

Noticing John's enthusiasm, Nur scolded him sternly.

As Luke's high priest, he knew well the power of Jean, the god's disciple. Luke had once told him that Jean possessed enough strength to kill him instantly, so he maintained a high level of caution around her.

After all, his strength was the result of millennia of accumulation and the synergy of various abilities. There was still a massive gap between him and an Omega-level mutant with boundless potential.

Hearing Nur's reprimand, John immediately tempered his expression, though his burning fighting spirit was unmistakable.

"Lady Jean, after each Phoenix host is killed, its power flows into the remaining hosts. Because you are not negatively affected by the Phoenix Force, you will be the key figure in this battle."

"As fewer and fewer Phoenix hosts remain, the battle will grow even tougher. At that point, I will be relying on your power."

Nur was clear on his goal for this battle: eliminate as many Phoenix hosts as possible to empower Jean.

As for Wu Fengji, who also wielded the Phoenix Force, he consciously excluded her from his plan. After all, she had no connection to the planet Dispelia.

Jean didn't want to involve herself in the conflict, but she had no choice. With Luke's whereabouts unknown, to change the outcome she had foreseen, she would have to pursue the path of destroying other Phoenix hosts, as she had envisioned in her dream.

If the extinction of the Phoenix hosts couldn't be prevented, she at least wanted to rewrite the fate where Luke was killed and the universe met its end.

So, she simply nodded silently to Nur's arrangement.
