Chapter 373 Black Widow

"hiss--"

Lin Jue gasped, but soon his body, which was on the verge of collapse, recovered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The cracks on his body, which reflected dazzling golden light due to energy absorption, were recovering rapidly.

When Charles and others arrived, Lin Jue had already recovered to a state of complete victory. Feeling the powerful force filling his body, he was secretly amazed that even with the two abilities of energy conversion body and survival of the fittest, he was still unable to withstand the power of the phoenix...

Marvel's combat power ceiling is indeed well-deserved!
"You have such a strong body..."

Charles said this right away, staring at Lin Jue with a serious expression.

"Good fellow, it seems that the stronger I am, the more uneasy you become. Isn't this too obvious, Charles?"

Lin Jue couldn't help but complain. He was the only one who knew his own body clearly. Although his immortal body did withstand a wave of Phoenix power, some of the effects on him could not be ignored.

The phoenix energy absorbed into the body by the energy-converting limbs was like an unruly wild horse. No matter how Lin Jue converted it, the efficiency remained low.

The golden light in his pupils flickered. Under the influence of the power of the Phoenix, Lin Jue's body was trying to transform it into energy that it could absorb. In a short period of time, Lin Jue could not even use the power of thunder and fire at will, which might cause the residual power of the Phoenix in his body to be eroded!

"It seems that you are not feeling well either, Lin..."

It was just a subtle change in emotion, but Charles still caught it. He smiled knowingly, as if he was extremely satisfied with Lin Jue's feelings at the moment.

"Charles, how about I let go of my spirit body and let you walk through my mind for a while, just to feel some vague emotions. This is too unfamiliar for you!"

"..."

Charles remained silent.

As for Alex and Coster on the other side, they looked at each other. Since the two big guys were talking, they thought it would be better for them not to interrupt.

"Well……"

With a low moan, Qin suddenly opened her eyes, and what she saw was Lin Jue, shirtless with a body like that of an ancient Greek god of bodybuilding. Her face flushed at first, and then she seemed to remember something and hurriedly climbed up.

"Are you...are you okay? I still can't control the energy in my body!"

Qin looked Lin Jue up and down, fearing that the person in front of her would be missing some parts because of her riot.

However, after looking around, she not only felt relieved, but she couldn't help but secretly look at Lin Jue.

The perfect body muscle lines are extremely smooth and natural. He is not exaggeratedly bulky, but not thin and slender either. His shoulders are broad and strong, and the muscle lines of his arms make him look like he has great explosive power. The obvious abdominal muscle outline makes Qin's eyes linger for a moment, and she even subconsciously wants to reach out and touch it.

However, Lin Jue stopped him in time.

"Don't move! The energy in your body is still in my body. I'm afraid that if you move around, I won't be able to control you!"

Lin Jue forced a smile. When everything calmed down, he re-examined himself and realized how difficult it was to control the Phoenix power in his body.

He was worried that as the owner of the Phoenix power, it would be activated again, and he might explode and die. Then Lin Jue would be in great pain!
The ability of survival of the fittest allows his body to constantly adapt. After all, Darwin's ability is still not as strong as the level in the comics, and it still pales in comparison to the invasion of the power of the Phoenix!

If it weren't for Sebastian's energy conversion, Lin Jue estimated that he would have no choice but to release the Phoenix power in his body.

"Feel sorry……"

Qin was in a low mood. She glanced at Charles and the others one by one, and finally looked around. The lush forest had long since disappeared. Everything in front of her was desolate and lifeless. There was a trace of horror in her eyes, and she couldn't help muttering: "This is the first time I release the energy in my body like this. I didn't expect it to be so terrible..."

When she was only paying attention to Lin Jue, Qin didn't care about herself, but when she saw the surrounding environment, she once again realized how terrible she was.

"Kid, this is not your fault. You should learn to control the energy in your body instead of being controlled by it. This time should allow you to recognize yourself..."

Charles persuaded, looking at the bewildered Jean with surprise. He began to consider whether to let Jean stay in the academy anymore. After all, judging from her current performance, Jean could easily destroy the Mutant Academy.

"Thank you, Professor!"

Qin's voice was a little low.

"I think you've done a great job! Don't you find that the energy in your body seems to be a little more stable now?"

Lin Jue smiled indifferently. He didn't care about the things around him.

"……seems like it!"

Looking at her hands, Qin's eyes flickered slightly.

……

New York metropolis.

When the news that Tony Stark was rescued by a mysterious angel spread, it became the focus of conversation among the citizens of New York City. In a secret base in New York, Nick Fury slammed the newspaper in his hand on the table.

"This guy, I clearly told him not to tell anyone about this, but this guy... this guy not only held a press conference, but also publicized it. What on earth does he want to do?"

Nick Fury scratched his smooth and round head fiercely. Matters concerning supernatural powers have always been the main mission of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Tony Stark was making their latest investigation mission public!

"Boss, do you want me to go to Stark Industries?"

Coulson couldn't help but smile bitterly. As an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Nick Fury's close aide, he naturally understood his boss's distress. He also conducted special research on Tony Stark and understood that he was an unstable master.

If no intervention is made, there is a high probability that bigger news will occur.

"Forget it, don't worry about him for now. I will warn him. The first task now is to find those major newspapers and media and try to suppress the limelight of this matter!"

"What's the reason?"

"Threat to national security!"

Watching Coulson stride away, Nick Fury sighed heavily. His eyes were fixed on the newspaper on the table, focusing on the image of the angel drawn by the media based on Tony Stark's description.

"What angel? They are just aliens that appeared out of nowhere!"

Nick Fury curled his lips. As the head of America's supernatural affairs, he had come into contact with many kinds of aliens. How could he possibly regard them as gods in superstition?

Ever since he had the trump card of Captain Marvel, he no longer had any fear for the gods in those ancient legends. Nick Fury even conducted a special investigation on them. He had long believed that those so-called legends were nothing more than some aliens that had descended to Earth.

Looking at the arrogant look on Tony Stark's face in the newspapers, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

Maybe I should find a way to keep an eye on this guy.

Tony Stark was rescued by him personally, and just a brief contact made him completely certain of the character he had previously judged.

This guy is a flamboyant narcissist. Everything is centered on himself. His overly smart mind makes him successful but also unscrupulous!
This is Nick Fury's assessment.

Gently pressed a button next to the table.

About 30 minutes later, outside the SHIELD base, a speeding motorcycle stopped at the door, and a woman with red hair and a graceful figure walked into the SHIELD base.

Soon, she arrived at Nick Fury's office.

"Natasha, the best agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and my most satisfied subordinate, I have a very important new mission for you!"

Nick Fury looked solemnly at the beautiful woman in front of him, his face full of admiration.

"I just destroyed a terrorist organization's base, and I rushed here without stopping. I thought you were going to give me some kind of reward, but what kind of mission is this?"

Natasha sat directly on the sofa beside her, with her slender thighs in leather pants resting on the cushion on the other side of the sofa, and said with some dissatisfaction.

However, facing the complaints and lazy behavior of his subordinates, Nick Fury was not angry. Instead, he first said a word of thanks and then explained the mission on his own.

"I need you to get close to Tony Stark!"

"The playboy who hangs out among beautiful women all day long?"

Natasha raised her eyebrows and said casually.

"That's right!"

"Why? What are you monitoring? What do I need to pay attention to?"

Three questions in a row, all the focus of the entire task was asked.

"He is the owner of the largest arms company in the United States and one of the richest men. His safety deserves our attention. Although it is surveillance, it is also a form of protection. You just need to be careful not to let him discover your identity!"

"that's it?"

Natasha was a little surprised.

"Well, maybe compared to your previous mission of destroying the gangs, the mission of destroying the terrorists seems insignificant, but it is equally important!"

"That's good. I thought you would let me deal with that so-called angel. I'm just a mortal!"

“I have thoughts on this as well!”

"..."
