Chapter 378
PS: The picture shows Madame Viper.
As the Black King spoke, she suddenly gave a mocking smile, "That old fellow Shingen Yashida, is quite cunning. Although he didn't directly agree to our plan, he was very tempted and said he could give Yukio to us first."
"I've seen Yukio; her Mutant Genes have already awakened."
Su Quan raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Does he know who wants Yukio, and what they want Yukio for?"
The Black King nodded and said, "They should know."
Su Quan sneered, "This old man can't bear to part with his own granddaughter, but he's willing to part with someone else. Yukio should be about the same age as Mariko, right?"
Mariko Yashida is only thirteen years old, and Yukio is about the same age as her, both underage. Shingen Yashida knows why he needs people, yet he still sent Yukio out without agreeing to the plan. Calling him an old man isn't an exaggeration, is it?
Come to think of it, if someone can even betray their savior, how could they possibly betray an adopted granddaughter they only adopted for the sake of their granddaughter?
"I want her. You can keep her by your side and train her first. As for Mariko, we'll talk about her in a few years." Su Quan said with a smile, "It would be quite interesting to see the adopted granddaughter who was sacrificed return to seek revenge and the sisters kill each other."
The Black King said knowingly, "I understand."
"Overall, you've done a good job with the task I assigned you, and I'm satisfied. Now, you have two choices."
"First, I'll help you enhance your abilities."
"Second, I bestow upon you a Multiverse- level power called the Phoenix Force."
Su Quan would never do something like expecting a horse to run without feeding it. If you make too many empty promises, no one will take them. Besides, they're working for her, so the stronger they are, the more benefits she'll receive.
The Black King took several deep breaths in excitement, and only after calming down did she reveal her choice.
"I choose to enhance my abilities."
The Black King was certain that the Phoenix Force was powerful, after all, it was described as Multiverse- level power. However, she desired to enhance her own abilities, as it was her own power.
Moreover, she believed that she would definitely have another chance to obtain the Phoenix Force in the future.
She doesn't believe there's only one Phoenix Force!
If there is only one, it is unlikely to be easily given to someone else. After all, the White Queen is the most loyal and capable one. Unless she already has one, it will not be given to someone else.
"As you wish."
Su Quan smiled and reached out his hand. Suddenly, the space twisted strangely. The Black King remained seated, but the space where she was located overlapped with the space where the table was located.
Even though the Black King and the table are overlapping, there is no conventional sense of up, down, left, or right in their positions.
They're together, yet not together.
The same location, the same space, both exist, both are real, neither is illusory.
Madame Viper instinctively reached out to the Black King, only to find nothing. When she touched downwards, she bumped into the table.
But in her line of sight, her hand was not in the Black King's space at all, but on the table.
Withdraw your hand, then extend it again.
This time, she encountered the Black King, and her hand appeared in the Black King's space, but it did not appear in the space of the table.
This bizarre scene left both Madame Viper and the Black King dumbfounded.
Su Quan reached out and placed his hand on the Black King's head, and then a dazzling special effect light shone.
The Black King's body trembled, her eyes narrowed, and she said in an excited, trembling voice, "This feeling... this power... is this enhancement? I can feel that my Mind Stone control and Mind Stone abilities have become stronger! I... I have gained another ability."
"I think I'm immune to damage now!"
Su Quan stopped, the special effects light disappeared, and the space returned to normal.
Something's not right with this upgrade!
The Black King's abilities go beyond Mind Stone control, Mind Stone, and immunity to damage; she also possesses Space Distortion.
However, her signature abilities are life absorption, power enhancement, and shadow form.
Life Absorption: She can maintain her youth and longevity by regularly absorbing the life force of others, and she can also heal her injuries by Absorb Life force.
During the absorption process, she can also remember the life history of any victim. If she only absorbs a portion of the life force, the victim will be subject to her Mind Stone control.
Enhanced Abilities: By Absorb Life energy, she can increase her speed, strength, endurance, and reaction time to superhuman levels. She can move at Superman speeds in an instant, but this causes her to age rapidly and requires even more life energy.
Shadow Form: Transforms into a life form that is half-dark matter, capable of appearing or disappearing at will. Can bind others to darkness that is the same as the composition of her body.
These abilities are the fundamental reason why the Black King's name transcends her status and position within the Hellfire Club!
In addition, the Black King is skilled in various forms of magic, and her mastery of magic is unfathomable. However, enhancement only changes abilities and does not increase magical abilities. If you want to learn magic, you have to go to another world.
However, this enhancement only strengthens the original Mind Stone abilities and adds immunity to damage, so it feels like the enhancement is not thorough.
What does this tell us?
This shows that the Black King has enormous potential. One enhancement is not enough to fully unlock and transform her potential. She can be enhanced a second time, or even a third time!
I wonder if others can also strengthen their abilities multiple times. I might try it when the opportunity arises to see if it's due to my ability or my personal potential!
"You, you can enhance Mutants abilities?" Madame Viper's reaction was even more excited than that of the Black King herself. She grabbed Su Quan's arm with both hands, and her eyes turned into vertical pupils.
Su Quan hummed in agreement, Madame Viper quickly changed her tune. "Master! Master, you can enhance Mutants abilities, so... can I be enhanced too?"
Su Quan looked at her. "Do you have the value to be enhanced?"
"Yes, I do!" Madame Viper smirked, her tone incredibly fawning. "How about we go somewhere else, and I'll give you a chance to properly demonstrate my worth?"
Pshaw, do you think I don't understand? Are you trying to demonstrate value?
Is your value legitimate?
"I have a task for you. I need you to develop a method that can suppress the Self-Healing Abilities of Mutants and transfer those Self-Healing Abilities to ordinary people," Su Quan said.
Madame Viper frowned slightly. Suppressing her Self-Healing Ability was easy enough, but transferring it to an ordinary person was not so simple.
"This method is mainly to fool Shingen Yashida. It doesn't necessarily have to be able to transfer abilities. You can think of it another way. As long as you can absorb the Self-Healing Ability, restore his youth, and give him hope, that will be enough."
Anyway... he won't see the final result!
Hearing Su Quan say this, Madame Viper breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just about Absorb Life to restore youth, rather than completely transferring abilities, then it would be much easier.
P. S.: The picture is of Yukio.
With the intention of appreciation and criticism, Su Quan asked the Black King to provide a place where no one would disturb her. As a result, the Madame Viper used a heavy sword without an edge, which was simple yet powerful. Although it was heavy and had no edge, it was extremely lethal and almost allowed Su Quan to defeat her.
All I can say is, this is a master!
Despite being a novice, he is as virtuous Ruoshui and as humble as a valley!
It is extremely valuable.
The next day, in the evening.
As the sun sets, the crescent moon and the stars reflect each other's brilliance, casting dappled light on the Hudson River. A gentle evening breeze causes the river to ripple like Domino.
On Liberty Island, the Liberty Belle stands tall, and the building across the river is the venue for the summit, where the Leader state from various countries have gathered.
On the Statue of Liberty Belle, Magneto Chronos menacingly at the distant buildings, preparing to activate the machine when the summit began, transforming all the world the Leaders into Mutants.
"Call out--"
With a whooshing sound, several figures dressed in black, tight-fitting leather suits suddenly appeared without warning below the Liberty Belle.
These figures were none other than Storm, Jean Grey, Colossus, Iceman, Human Torch, Shadowcat, and Petra.
Having just joined, they were already facing Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants in order to save humanity. Iceman, Shadowcat, Colossus, and Petra were all a little nervous. Only Human Torch was eagerly fiddling with his lighter, as if he couldn't wait to tell the whole world that he, Human Torch, had made his debut.
Storm led the group to the entrance of the building at the base of the Liberty Belle. Several guards lay dead on the ground. The group looked at each other with solemn expressions and cautiously entered.
As soon as they entered, several Mutants who had been waiting in comfort revealed expressions of anticipation and impatience.
Members of the Brotherhood of Mutants!
The X-Men have gained new members, Brotherhood of Mutants also received a boost of fresh blood, and their strength is only higher!
The first thing that catches the eye is a huge man whose muscles look like they could crush a person to death. The steel helmet he wears on his head adds to his fierce aura, making it clear at a glance that he is not someone to be messed with!
His name is Cain Mark, codename Juggernaut!
Well, although there wasn't a single red mark on him.
Standing to the left of Juggernaut is the veteran member Toad, and to the right is Dazzler, a female Mutants whose gender is indistinguishable at first glance but who is extremely ugly upon closer inspection. Next to Dazzler is a middle-aged man known as Multiple Man.
Juggernaut, Dazzler, and Multiple Man are all Mutants who appeared in X-Men: The Last Stand, and have now been recruited by Magneto to join the Brotherhood of Mutants.
Is that all for the introductions of the Brotherhood of Mutants?
No, no, no, there's more—
Above their heads was a man with snow-white wings spread out. His name was Warren Kenneth Worthington III, codenamed Angel.
In another timeline, he, along with Storm, Magneto, and Psylocke, are the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse.
Finished?
Not yet!
