I even found out that there seemed to be a wonderful championship duel at night, and I was going to take a good look at it.
Tina although lost could wait to go and watch the fight in the arena and the other saints although less enthusiastic felt some excitement at this arena and possibly fight themselves although they weren't expecting much of a challenge so the group made their way to the arena for the fight.
Chapter 214 sanctuary
Jean once back at the mutant school was now full of conviction striving for the betterment of mutant kind and to protect them and for that she needs power, more of it so without further ado she flipped the coin Ella gave her and was engulfed in light.
Once the light receded Jean found herself in garden of sort with a stunning fountain at the centre with a golden statue of goddess Athena in a majestic godly armour signifying her domain over war and advanced warfare.
Jean couldn't help but admire the beauty and power from the statue that seemed to resonate power throughout the environment, but once Jean regained her senses she could feel many powerful signatures some even more powerful than herself and shel thought to herself that those must be the Heavenly Father level saints Ella informed her about.
Jean used the Phoenix force to enchanted her senses further her eyes widened as she felt what could only be described as an astronomical power ever surpassing her by 400 no 6000 times more powerful than her and Jean could only imagine how powerful this aura belonged too and its still growing and Jean could only ponder if this belonged to the pope or goddess Athena herself, but whoever it belonged to was insanely powerful.
The next moment Jean could feel someone approaching and with the familiarity Jean could feel from it must be ella who has come, and then the next second the saint who controls Frost appeared in a modern pair of clothing that outlines her hourglass figure showcasing her attractive body which could make many attracted to even Jean had trouble keeping her composure around the sexy woman.
Although Jean was not a lesbian she couldn't deny the cold beauty and excellent figure of saint Ella but she was brought out of her stuper by Ella's indifferent voice which had a touch of warm welcoming rather than her cold and brutal words Jean was used to with their first encounter.
"So you have arrived then, good the pope is waiting for you in the temple, but do remain respectful with that encounter less she goes savage with your training"
Jean not expecting this suddenly shuddered at the thought remembering her encounter with the pope and how howerful she was somewhat grateful to Ella reminding her of that experience although not intentionally so Jean decided to be extra cautious with the pope as she is definitely an existence she doesn't want to provoke.
"Thank you"
Ella nodding directed Jean to the temples entrance but on the way Jean couldn't help but admire the architecture of sanctuary which was obviously Greek but felt more ancient but beautiful non the less with sunny scenery and normal people invited to live in sanctuary enjoying every moment of this paradise. Jean couldn't help but admire the places beauty.
Once she arrived at the main temple she observed the complex structure that looked like an ordinary stunning temple but was far from it. The inside depicts the more monumental parts of history similar to the art shown in the Parthenon back in Athens but with far more art and tapestries depicting the history, culture, traditions of the saints and stories of gods layers skilfully crafted and carved into a stunning artwork wich just sings with your soul.
Along with these images are 12 peculiar figures shown in them all adorned in mystical armour and robes showcasing their power of aspects of reality itself. These figures were the 12 main godheads of Olympus which Jean could interpret from this as athena herself was in it sat on a golden throne enjoying some olives adorned with artifices and an owl perched on her shoulder which are symbols of Athena.
From this Jean couldn't help but be surprised as she could see these legendary gods of old and couldn't help but image what it would have been like to see these figures of legend but her wild imagination was brought back to reality by a voice she knows all too well.
"Beautiful aren't they"
Jean:"Huh"
"The tapestries, the stories, ancient history it's breathtaking when written by supernatural hands"
Right there next to Jean was a person she never though she'd see again Kyle Isabella pope of sanctuary, strongest gold saint, and avatar of Athena.
The sudden appearance of the pope cause Jean to tense slightly remembering the power the person before her wields behind that young and sinfully hourglass figure that looks gorgeously divine.
Kyle:"so you're the one Ella invited well I can't blame her your existence itself is unique add to that the power of the 5 cosmic creation gods that created this very universe then you are an anomaly that many will respect, and fear then many would want to recruit you"
Jean:"Yes, but I come to terms with what I am and accepted that people will always be jealous and fear my power, but I'm not magneto hellbent on ruling humans and making mutants the superior race."
Jean:"what I want to be is an inspiration of hope for mutants, a flame that will burn in our darkest of hours, a beacon of light in times of fear. Charles envisioned something like this it's why he created the x-men a way for humanity to see mutants in a good light instead of using their abilities for chaos and I too hold the same dream and by doing this I show the world that mutants can be saviour's rather than just monsters in their eyes so I chose this path to use this power for good like Charles showed me."
Swing the conviction in Jean's eyes Kyle was impressed "very well then we can start eventually but in the mean time I shall converse with her for a moment so have some rest."
Once this was done Jean,s eyes started to change flashing a golden fiery colour with cosmic fire of nirvana outlines her body appears allowing the consciousness of the cosmic Phoenix of life, destruction, rebirth,mental energy and one of the 5 gods that are involved in this universes balance and creation.
Phoenix:"I would like to converse with you in your true form if you wouldn't mind"
Nodding Kyle then transformed into her true form that is Athena standing there with divine beauty which even captivates Phoenix with her violet hair and ocean blue eyes which hold knowledge and wisdom wearing a white tunic tightly fitted around her waste and chest with golden accessories holding a golden staff with power over the concept of victory.
Phoenix quickly to recover starts the conversation.
Phoenix:"I hope you can take my host as saint of yours and make her stronger as a request of mine"
Athena:"I don't mind in the slightest though my I ask as to why you let her to me, seems oddly suspicious on your part"
Phoenix:"I can understand why but I have no ulterior motives or any malice towards you merely curiosity."
Phoenix:"your presence in this universe has attracted the attention of some especially after Thanos death by the hands of your saints, lady death is especially paying attention to you the most and so have I."
Athena:"Yes I've sensed her eyes on me quite a few times now as well as others but her gaze confuses me the most it's like a child that has a new toy while also seeming obsessive and bored even now she's watching intensely than normal."
Phoenix:"I'd be wary of her anything that catches her attention she pounces on to ease her bordom she's a bitch in that regard even caused the death of my previous host." Phoenix says glaring back at the stars that seem bright and life like with intensity.
Phoenix:"I should also inform that the other cosmic abstracts would like to meet you within the beyond as it's rare for a person of another universe coming here with your level of power"
Athena:"duly noted I suppose I can grant your request of training jean as she was brought here by Ella and thank you for the invitation I look forward to it but for now I think this conversation must end or else somethings can get messy if she decides to come and pick a fight with you as she's glaring daggers in your direction so it's goodbye for now Phoenix."
With a wave of her hand the body of Jean stops glowing and goes into a state of unconsciousness and is teleported to bed while Athena is left standing there pondering the motives behind the abstract entities interest in her.
