Just what was going on? I had never seen such a horrified expression on Ancient One’s face.
Upon Ancient One's order, the sorcerers shut off the magic circle but unfortunately there was no change in Jean's condition.
“What do we do now to stop this, Ancient One?” Ms. Ororo asked, worried about Jean's sudden change.
“Don't worry. I can still stop it. The situation is not out of control.” Ancient One ensured us that nothing will happen.
“We need to ready the Disharmony magic circle and immediately.” Ancient One ordered all the sorcerers nearby.
Then, she casted a spell with her hand. Soon after casting the spell, all the sorcerers started carving a new magic circle on the ground altogether with Ancient One. From what I had studied so far, the magic circle seemed to be a psychic one.
From the looks of it, Ancient One had casted a telepathy spell to link the sorcerers and was creating the magic circle as fast as possible.
“Now!” As soon as the magic circle was completed, Ancient One immediately activated it after checking that it had not been carved wrongfully.
Soon after the Disharmony magic circle was activated, the various phenomenon surrounding Jean ceased to exist and she started falling down as if she was a puppet with cut strings.
“I caught her!” Emma said as she caught Jean with her telekinesis and brought her to us.
“Just what happened, Ancient One? The other tests had been normal. Then why had such an incident occurred?” Ms. Ororo asked Ancient One, anxious to know what had gone wrong.
“I will answer all of your questions. But I need to first ensure that what had happened with Jean has not caused any adverse effects on her.” Saying these words, Ancient One immediately started analysing Jean's body with her spells.
“Looks like she is good, just somewhat exhausted. I will give her some medicine. She should wake up in just a few hours.” After saying these words, Ancient One asked Master Wong to bring her the required medicine.
“Now, let me explain what had happened with Jean. She had said that she has been having some heavy headaches in the recent days. Those incidents and what happened just now was because of an external influence.”
“External Influence? But how is that possible? It doesn't make any sense.” Scott said after hearing Ancient One's words as he couldn't comprehend what kind of external influence could have such effect on Jean.
“It is because this external influence is not a person but likely some kind of mighty force. And judging from the amount of psionic energy I was sensing from Jean's connection to that external influence, it could even be a cosmic force.” Ancient One explained just what kind of force we were dealing with.
“A cosmic force? Just what are we dealing with? How did something like this even get into contact with Jean?” Although my vision was broader than the others because I was a sorcerer and also because my powers were given to me by another version of myself, I still couldn't comprehend what was a cosmic force and how powerful it could be?
Also, it was questionable that how and why did something so powerful contact Jean? From what I knew about Jean, she had a normal life before she awakened her powers.
“A cosmic force is something which is said to be one of the pillars of this entire universe. It is so powerful that it can easily destroy this planet.
As for how something like this get into contact with Jean, it was likely because she was just compatible with this force. Judging from the intensity of the psionic power just now, it had been into contact with her for a long time. Her headaches before were likely because that mighty force was enhancing Jean's psychic powers above her limit.
What happened with her just now was because the testing circle had found the connection between Jean and that force during the analysis. This caused the force to learn that something was interfering with the connection. As such, it overreacted and rapidly enhanced her powers, resulting in the incident which happened to her.
Thankfully, I realised what was happening and immediately created a disharmony circle to cut off the connection between Jean and that force.”
All of us were stunned when we heard what had truly happened. A cosmic force was connected to Jean and had tried to enhance her powers so much that her body could not hold it. The situation was so serious that we didn't know what to say.
“In this situation, what can we do?” Ms. Ororo asked the most important question after gathering some courage.
“Although this matter is serious, it is not something too urgent. This can be seen by how easily I had cut the connection between them temporarily. Moreover, these type of forces do not generally interfere in any matter. Although they are not considered to be living beings, they have some sort of consciousness.
As such, all we need to do is to harmonize the connection between Jean and that force for which she will require regular sessions with me.
Once Jean has harmonized the connection, I believe she will be able to have a normal life although she will become a much stronger mutant than before. Still, even after that, we will need to continuously check up on her as we don't know when something unfortunate may happen.”
All of us took a sigh of relief once it was revealed that Jean could still be saved and the matter could be resolved even though it included an entity of unbelievable power.
“I will also try to find what entity it is which has a connection with Jean. Although we can solve this situation, it is still a very serious matter. This kind of activity has not been seen on Earth in over a millennium.” Ancient One said that she will look into the whole matter as it was the responsibility of the Sorcerers of Kamar Taj. As such, we should not worry much.
“It was truly fortunate that Peter joined your school. Otherwise, I fear to think what would have happened if we hadn't found about this matter today.”
That is right! If Professor Xavier had never found me, they would not have known about the sorcerers and never have a chance to use this test which revealed so much.
This could be said to be a perfect example of the Butterfly Effect. All of this happened just because I was saved by Spider Supreme and given these powers.
“Alright, everyone! Although there was an accident, I believe that these girls would be pretty disappointed if they do not get their powers analysed. So, I believe that we should continue the test now.” Ancient One asked for the rest of us to take the test even after this incident.
All of us turned to Ms. Ororo, waiting for her answer as she was the one in charge after all.
“Very well. But I hope that there will not be any more accidents.” Ms. Ororo agreed to Ancient One's request with a sigh.
*************************
And so everyone learns about the fact that Jean is connected to a mighty force. Ancient One has not directly identified it to be the Phoenix Force because these kind of forces do not appear so casually.
