[3rd POV]

Turns out that Xavier and Gwen were not the only one that had sensed the awakening of the Phoenix, not even close. Reactions around the universe had been...less than pleased, to say the least.

Within the Shi'ar Empire, a great and wide reaching empire of immense power, panic was setting in at the higher echelons of the Empire, most notably, the Majestor (Ruler) himself, D'ken Neramani. The Shi'ar Empire was an autocratic imperial government, with its ruler the Majestor (Male) or Majestrix (Female) being advised by the high council, which is made up of selected worlds from the million that make up the incredibly large Empire.

The Majestor was the most powerful person in the Empire, and basically the Emperor. He wasn't individually powerful or anything, it was all about political power when it came to D'ken.

At the moment he and the council were in a heated discussion regarding the new...reveal of the Phoenix, the cry that sounded throughout the universe, and potentially even beyond.

"We must kill its host, before it does to us what it did to our ancestors! Do you all not remember the Dark one?! He killed millions with its power! Such power CANNOT be reborn again!" An aged man yelled, as another scowled.

"M'kor, we don't know of it's location, much less its host. What shall you have us do? Search the entire universe in hopes of finding it!? That is without even including the fact that it's host may have control over it's power! No, it is too high of a risk!"

"And allowing it to remain living is?! I say we send the Imperial Guard and wipe it out before it poses a true threat! I am certain Kallark can make quick of the new host" The man said, as he leaned back. Kallark was a powerful man, and the leader of the Imperial Guard, he was better known under a different name though, the name...Gladiator.

"What foolishness! How can-" "SILENCE!" The deep booming voice of Majestor D'ken sounded out throughout the room, as she slammed his fist against the table in front of him, an angry scowl on his face.

"I alone make the decision of what to do with the new Phoenix host! And my decision is that we find the creature and kill it before it becomes a threat to this glorious Empire! Kallark and the Imperial Guard shall lead this hunt, and that is FINAL!" D'ken yelled, as the council went silent his sister, Lilandra, silently listened, a frown on her face.

In another part of the universe, a massive entity of incredible power glanced to the side, as his giant face formed into a frown.

"It would seem the Phoenix has awoken..." He spoke, his deep voice traveling throughout what seems to be a massive advanced ship.

Another figure floated within the ship, staring up at the being. He was larger than planets, and was...impossible to truly gaze upon, but that mattered little to being that seemed so small in comparison.

"What shall you have me do, master?"

"The awakening of the Phoenix is of little note to me. Find the next planet"

"As you wish...Devourer of Worlds"

Within a large beautiful city, glimmering with gold and power, a man sat upon his large throne, an aged man with long white hair, but exuded incredible power and might. He had only one singular eye, the other destroyed and the socket in which it would be, covered with an eyepatch.

For this man was Odin Borson, the Allfather, and King of Asgard.

And he was...not in the best of moods, as he felt the power of the phoenix on Midgard, aka Earth.
