Chapter 99 - Chapter 99: The Sun's Embrace and the Shadow of Olympus

Looking at the almost infinite and astonishingly powerful lightning striking him, Ororo directly closed her eyes.

Facing Death, she was surprisingly calm.

Perhaps when she attacked Magneto, she had already prepared herself for Death.

Maybe in another World, she could be with the person she loved and possess him forever.

In this moment before Death, such a thought flashed through her mind.

The power of love is so incredible, enough to make one forget the fear of Death.

However, Ororo waited for a long time, but Death did not arrive.

What greeted her was a familiar warmth and heat.

She opened her eyes, only to find the most incredible thing appearing before her.

A giant Divine Bird, burning with golden flames all over its body, spread its huge wings and stood in front of her.

Endless lightning fell on its golden feathers, but only produced tiny sparks.

Its huge body did not tremble in the slightest under this terrifying attack.

Its three sharp claws firmly gripped the Eiffel Tower, and its proud head almost touched the giant lightning ball in mid-air, like a crown being placed upon it.

Majestic and magnificent was its truest portrayal, and beneath this magnificent exterior, Ororo saw a pair of gentle golden eyes.

"Three-legged Golden Crow? Yi?" Seeing such a familiar mythical creature appear before her, Ororo couldn't help but ask.

Facing Ororo's question, the Three-legged Golden Crow let out a cry that shook the sky.

Its huge wings slowly closed, and a gentle golden light emanated from its body, which was almost as large as the Eiffel Tower.

This light dispelled all lightning and frost, comforting everyone's hearts and pain.

As the warm and gentle light spread, the cage made of steel spears rapidly turned to ashes.

As Ororo gained freedom, she also felt the wounds on her body quickly heal, and the giant Golden Crow before her also began to rapidly shrink.

Soon, a male figure surrounded by golden flames appeared before her.

His familiar appearance and physique clearly told her that this was her beloved.

She threw herself into his arms with force, and a pair of strong arms caught her soft body.

The two embraced tightly, and after a moment, Ororo reached out and touched his face, which had been radiating warm light, asking cautiously.

"Yi, what happened to you? You're alive, aren't you?"

"Of course, I'm alive." Zhou Yi smiled and held her slightly trembling hand, transferring his body temperature.

"You know, I don't have any clothes on now.

If I didn't look like this, I'm afraid someone would say I was indecent!"

Ororo subconsciously lowered her head, and her cheeks immediately flushed.

But this time, she was unwilling to let go.

One separation between life and Death was enough for her to let go of some grudges in her heart.

And it was the same for Zhou Yi; for these women who loved him, he would only hold them tighter.

The figure wreathed in golden flames shocked Ororo, and also shocked Magneto Erik.

He looked at this unfamiliar guy hesitantly and asked, "Who are you?"

"Mr. Erik, if you don't have Alzheimer's, you should remember the person who just stood here accepting the wager.

That's me, Dawn Knight.

I've come to claim my victory." Zhou Yi said calmly.

In this wager, he had won the final victory.

"This is impossible, no one could survive in that situation.

No one, you are not Dawn Knight.

You are just a charlatan!" Magneto's face showed an expression of disbelief, and soon this expression turned fierce and sinister.

He could not accept his failure, or more precisely, he could not accept that the Mutant era he dreamed of was ended before it even began.

The shattering of dreams is enough to breed sufficient evil in anyone's heart.

What's more, Magneto himself was not a benevolent person.

Endless magnetic storms and lightning began to roar, and Magneto stirred up his last strength to attack the two people in front of him.

Manipulating the International Space Station in orbit and tearing apart Earth's own geomagnetic defense field had consumed most of his power.

The remaining power he had now, besides maintaining the geomagnetic shield, was only enough to control the magnetic storm coils beneath his feet.

This power was still almost god-like for some ordinary people, but in front of the reborn Zhou Yi, this power was already insignificant.

Facing the endless thunderstorms, he merely stretched out his hand.

The swarming golden flames immediately transformed into a fiery hurricane that swept everything away.

The lightning was torn to shreds in this golden hurricane, completely losing its previous momentum.

And the golden hurricane, with undiminished momentum, surged towards Magneto like an overwhelming tide.

"Foolish, you unknown fellow.

I am protected by the power of Earth, your attack cannot touch me in the slightest." Facing the sweeping hurricane of flames, Magneto spread his hands in an embracing gesture.

Earth was his strongest backing, and he did not believe that this mere flame could pierce through Earth.

It was precisely because of this that he could be so fearless.

However, the reality far exceeded his imagination.

The golden flames impacted his magnetic shield, and instead of being blocked outside as he had thought, they permeated in little by little.

Soon, these surging flames completely tore through his proud defense line and rushed to his front.

And he could do nothing.

Facing these flames that had already rushed to his front, Magneto finally showed a look of fear.

At this moment, the God of Death had smiled at him.

The towering hurricane of flames shot directly from the top of the Eiffel Tower, and the dazzling flames almost dyed the entire sky golden.

Under this golden sky, a hurricane of flames, like a giant god's spear, pierced through Heaven and Earth.

That magnificent scene could be clearly seen even from dozens of miles away.

However, for Paris, it was already commonplace.

The torment of repeated life and Death within two hours had made the spirit of Parisians extraordinarily tough.

After experiencing the return of Dawn Knight and the great reversal, their only view of this flame hurricane was, "Ha!

Well done."

For them, Magneto had absolutely become a deeply hated villain.

Conversely, Dawn Knight, this heroic character who had almost sacrificed his life for them, instantly gained countless supporters.

Even if this hero had destroyed a lot of people's property in the recent battle, for Parisians, known for their romance, who cared?

They supported the existence of heroes.

After all, life is more precious than property.

The golden hurricane began to recede, and Magneto's figure had disappeared from his original position.

Many people thought Magneto was dead, and Ororo was no exception.

But Zhou Yi knew he was not dead; someone had saved him.

He stared at a corner not far away and said calmly, "Hiding in the corner and trembling is not a good feeling, isn't it, Mr. Erik, and your companion?"

A silver light flashed, and the man named Pietro appeared with Magneto, supporting him, in front of him and Ororo.

Logically speaking, after Zhou Yi demonstrated such power, anyone on the opposing side would show sufficient respect in front of him.

This was the benefit of power; it made the weak revere the strong, regardless of status.

But this man did not show the slightest awe; instead, he retorted quite indifferently.

"First, I want to tell you.

This old man doesn't have a habit of trembling.

Failure is not uncommon for him, so there's nothing he can't accept.

Also, I'm not his accomplice.

If I had to say, I'm a third party.

I just lent a hand."

"Lending a hand to save my enemy, then your so-called third party is also my enemy!"

"Oh oh oh!

Are you threatening me?

Or do you think you can really threaten me?" The guy named Pietro smiled, tightened his grip on Magneto, and showed an arrogant smile.

"Talk when you can catch me!"

After speaking, the silver figure immediately began to flicker, and almost in an instant, he disappeared from Zhou Yi's sight.

Although Zhou Yi's super vision could still catch him, he really had no confidence in catching him personally.

That guy's running speed reached twenty-seven Mach, and almost in an instant, he disappeared into the city of Paris.

Of course, Magneto, the great villain, also disappeared with him.

The disappearance of the two surprised Ororo, and she couldn't help but ask, "My God, where are they?"

"There, in the suburbs of Paris.

I'm afraid we can't catch up with them.

What astonishing speed, so fast, and yet there are no physical phenomena produced by high speed at all.

It's incredible!" As Zhou Yi sighed, he manipulated his power to tear open Rogue's cage.

Magneto had already been defeated by him, so Rogue naturally and rightfully gained her freedom.

And after gaining freedom, Rogue directly threw herself onto Zhou Yi.

The situation just now was really too stimulating for her.

Repeated life and Death is not something a Child can easily accept.

She urgently needed an embrace to vent her emotions.

And Dawn Knight, who had endured hardships for her, was undoubtedly one of the best choices.

Rogue vented her accumulated pressure on her own, but one thing she didn't expect was that her ability became the final straw that broke Zhou Yi's spirit.

After several battles to the Death, Zhou Yi's physical and mental strength were both almost exhausted.

Even with the Awakening of his divinity, this could not change.

The awe-inspiring display just now was entirely due to the Awakening of his divinity and the power of the solar storm he had absorbed.

His true condition had, in fact, reached its limit long ago.

And when Rogue recklessly pounced on him, his spirit immediately lost its supporting power.

Rogue's ability was uncontrollable, and as his power was absorbed by Rogue's ability, he could no longer stay conscious and directly fainted into the arms of these two women, one large and one small.

Moreover, he was in a rather primitive state, without clothes.

This situation naturally made both women blush and their hearts pound, while also worrying them greatly.

But the person whose emotions were even more agitated was Commander Hill, far across the ocean, thirty thousand feet in the air.

Completely unprepared for such a restricted scene as the hero's return, she immediately turned her face away and began to curse wildly in her heart.

This scene might seem normal to most people, but to Coulson, who had been observing her, it was truly abnormal.

Commander Hill, a woman who perfectly embodied the Agent regulations.

As an Agent, she was absolutely the best.

This could be seen from her rank.

Level nine, second only to Director Nick Fury, and even above him.

But this excellent Agent always had problems when facing Dawn Knight, just like just now.

It was just a primitive state; which qualified Agent hadn't seen it?

There was absolutely no need to show such an expression.

And, there was even a very subtle smile.

This was simply World-subversion for Coulson.

Could it be that the Commander was also falling in love?

The difficulty of this was simply too great.

Watching the satellite footage of the two women carefully helping Dawn Knight away, he sighed deeply.

As an Agent, he should report this matter to prevent any accidents.

But as a friend, he had to keep this matter in his heart, at least until Commander Hill's work had problems.

This difficult balance made him very hard to deal with.

He even wondered if his hairline would recede a little further because of this.

Commander Hill was unaware of his complex feelings at the moment.

After watching Zhou Yi being safely escorted away by the two Mutants, she once again showed her usual icy expression and said to Coulson.

"The aftermath in Paris, shouldn't we discuss it?"

"Of course, this is a huge mess." Coulson shrugged.

He could only temporarily suppress all his thoughts in his heart now.
