As two genetic variants from the same origin, Kytheron's complex genetic system, which was mixed with biology, magic, and divine power, began a fierce conflict with Doomsday's genetic system.
In an instant, every cell in Kytheron's entire body fell into a riot, spontaneously beginning to fight against Doomsday, this foreign fellow.
"Come on! Become a part of me, you will be the first step I take towards perfection!"
Kytheron's body contained too many kinds of power; the most basic was the power derived from the Kryptonian Bloodline, followed by the divine power of the Twelve Talismans, the power of magic, and mixed divine power.
Each power clad Kytheron's cells in a layer of armor.
Therefore, in the initial cellular struggle, Kytheron had an absolute advantage.
However, Doomsday's most troublesome aspect was that as long as he couldn't be killed in one blow, he would drag the battle into a stalemate.
By virtue of his own characteristics, Doomsday would begin to adapt to the current environment and the attacks received at an extremely terrifying speed.
The struggle continued, and in order to personally mobilize his internal cells to meet the enemy, Kytheron could not sever the connection between his consciousness and his body.
At this moment, countless cells in Kytheron's body were being killed and then reborn every moment, and the same was true for Doomsday.
From the outside, Kytheron's body had now reverted to the form of a giant dragon, and the black-red scales, cast like steel, now undulated like Water.
This was a long and painful process, and the Venom attached to Kytheron naturally could not escape it.
However, compared to Kytheron, the pain it suffered was much less, because Kytheron bore most of it for it.
But this did not mean its situation was better than Kytheron's, because Kytheron could resist Doomsday's violent and chaotic will with his powerful mental strength, but Venom was not so lucky!
However, Kytheron had already done everything he could; if Venom could not resist the erosion of Doomsday's will and became chaotic and Madness, then Kytheron would not hesitate to completely erase all of its consciousness.
At that time, all that would be left would be Venom's shell.
In this microscopic battle, Doomsday's cells inevitably acquired the characteristics of Kytheron's cells through repeated struggles.
This was the situation Kytheron wanted to see, because this kind of Devour (devouring) would only have two outcomes.
Either Kytheron completes the Devour (devouring) of Doomsday, incorporating everything of Doomsday into his vast genetic system;
As for the other, it was Kytheron's own genetic system being assimilated by Doomsday, and then becoming a true Doomsday.
The most direct difference between the two outcomes was the primary and secondary distinction of the genetic system; if Kytheron himself was primary, then Kytheron would still be Kytheron, but would possess all of Doomsday's characteristics; if Doomsday was primary, then Kytheron would become Doomsday.
Now, all of this was moving in the direction Kytheron had envisioned; at this moment, countless cells began to gradually merge together in Death and rebirth.
"That's it, a mindless killing machine simply cannot perfectly control this power."
Inside Kytheron's body, his original gene chains all broke, and then, just before collapsing, a brand new gene chain instantly supplemented and repaired them, then elevated and evolved.
...
Outside, the Phoenix War had already begun!
Countless Phoenix hosts had successively broken through the Universe barrier and arrived in the Universe where Kytheron's Apokolips was located.
Most of them were in the Dark Phoenix state, their original will suppressed by the Phoenix, with another negative personality controlling their body.
None of these guys were easy to deal with; upon seeing Phoenix Force wielders like themselves, they immediately lost all other thoughts, only wanting to kill the other party and seize her power.
"What on earth happened, why are there so many Phoenix apostles coming from outside the Universe!"
"Back then, there was only one, and our Shi'ar Empire paid a heavy price to eliminate him; what should we do now that so many have appeared!"
This was said by Lilandra Neramani, the current Empress of the Shi'ar Empire.
Speaking of which, as a humanoid race evolved from a certain type of bird, the Shi'ar Empire had worshipped the Phoenix Force intensely since its inception, even revering the Phoenix Force as a god.
Hundreds of years ago, a Shi'ar Empire warrior, Rook'shir, became a host of the Phoenix Force by chance, which brought immense glory to the entire Shi'ar Empire.
However, Rook'shir developed a Shadow side due to the influence of the Phoenix Force, going Mad under the impulse to destroy and the inflation brought by power, becoming the Dark Phoenix.
To stop him, the Shi'ar Empire lost a contingent of Imperial Guard, and ultimately Gladiator slew him.
However, this battle also caused enormous destruction to the Shi'ar Empire.
This also led to the Phoenix transforming from a faith to a disaster within the Shi'ar Empire, and even Rook'shir's descendants were all slaughtered, just in case another Dark Phoenix appeared.
They even hunted down Phoenix Force wielders throughout the Universe, and Wu Fengji had once clashed with their fleet.
But now, with so many Phoenix hosts appearing all at once, the Shi'ar Empire was thrown into disarray.
"Gladiator, do you have the confidence to eliminate all the Phoenixes?"
The Empress asked Gladiator, who stood before her with a resolute expression.
He was the guardian god of the entire Shi'ar Empire, the strongest hero, a man always filled with infinite confidence.
"Your Majesty, as long as I and the Imperial Guard are here, no Phoenix apostle will be able to damage the Shi'ar one iota."
Confidence, as the source of Gladiator's power, even knowing that he could not resist all the Phoenixes, Gladiator had to maintain complete self-confidence.
Once his self-confidence was insufficient, his own power would significantly weaken.
"The safety of the Empire rests entirely on you!"
The Empress placed all her hope in Gladiator.
While the Shi'ar were urgently preparing for battle, the Phoenix hosts were already fighting fiercely!
Wave after wave of destructive fluctuations erupted from the center of the great battle.
Nearby Planets suffered undeserved calamity, directly burned to ashes by the Phoenix's flames.
In the melee, Phoenix hosts fell one after another, and the scattered Phoenix Force instantly found new hosts, then continued the struggle.
Jean on Apokolips looked pale at this moment, muttering, "Exactly the same, exactly the same as the scene in my dream, Teacher, where are you!"
Wu Fengji was not doing any better; as Phoenix hosts, they could feel the brutality of the battle more intensely than ordinary people.
The Death of each Phoenix host would make the original Phoenix Force more complete, and her heart would tremble with each one.
