Plundering Superpowers

The sudden voice in his mind didn't cause Richard any surprise or shock.

When he was browsing the system description, he knew that the system would provide prompt messages or sounds at certain times.

According to the system's explanation, whether it was combat or practice, as long as he used a skill, he could increase the skill's proficiency.

Additionally, using skills would consume Magic Power.

Take the Octaslash he was currently using, for example. Each time he used Octaslash, it would consume 1 point of Magic Power.

Not just Octaslash, using the level 1 skills Earth Shake, Sky Tremor, Zanshin, and Iai Slash would also consume 1 point of Magic Power.

To put it simply, the Magic Power he currently possessed could only support him in using skills 30 times.

Although using skills required consuming Magic Power, it also brought another benefit, which was preventing others from imitating his skills.

Without the same Magic Power as him, even if someone perfectly replicated the movements of skills like Octaslash and Sky Tremor, they would only be able to match the movements and wouldn't be able to achieve the same power.

Although he hadn't cut anything, Richard's intuition told him that the Octaslash he was currently performing could easily cut through reinforced concrete buildings, just like Sephiroth in the movie.

Besides being used to perform skills like Octaslash, Magic Power could also be used to perform energy attacks or cast magic skills.

However, this was not something he, who had just transmigrated, needed to consider.

His current Sephiroth Template fusion degree was only 5%, and he hadn't awakened any magic skills.

Based on the description provided by the system, the Sephiroth Template he possessed was similar to Sephiroth in the remake game.

In addition to skills like Octaslash, he also possessed magic skills such as Great Fire, Great Blizzard, Great Lightning, and Great Gust.

Richard ignored the sound of proficiency increasing in his mind and continued practicing Octaslash in the bedroom.

"Octaslash proficiency +1"

"Octaslash proficiency +1"

"Octaslash proficiency +1"

After performing Octaslash 10 times in a row and increasing the proficiency to 10 points, he reluctantly ended this practice session and put the over two-meter-long Masamune back into the system space.

After putting away the Masamune, he went to the bathroom.

Silver-white long hair, light green eyes, handsome and charming appearance...

Looking at himself in the mirror, Richard revealed a satisfied smile.

Being strong is for a period of time, but being handsome is for a lifetime! Although his original body was also very handsome, with a style similar to young Leonardo DiCaprio, the original body's hair color was not silver, but gold.

As for the color of his eyes, there wasn't much change, both were light green.

However, compared to his original body, his current pupils were vertical, similar to those of a wild beast.

After admiring his current handsome appearance that could charm both young and old, Richard returned to the bedroom, took off his pajamas, and changed into his daily clothes.

After changing clothes, he didn't leave the bedroom immediately but sat down on a chair and began to think seriously.

According to the memories left by his original body, the world he had transmigrated to was indeed the Marvel Universe, but it was not purely the MCU and the X-Men Film Universe.

In this world, there were the Avengers, Iron Man, Captain America...

There were also the X-Men, the Brotherhood of Mutants, the Hellfire Club, the Fantastic Four...

Most importantly, the United States in this world had enacted a law called the Mutant Restriction Act.

The Mutant Restriction Act mainly had two contents.

First, all mutants must complete registration and be under the unified management of the Department of Mutant Affairs.

Second, except for mutants with official permission, all other mutants were strictly prohibited from using their superpowers in public places.

If they did not complete registration or used superpowers without official permission, they would be arrested by Mutant Agents and imprisoned in special prisons for mutants.

This Mutant Restriction Act made Richard involuntarily think of the Mutant Registration Act he had seen in the movies.

However, the Mutant Registration Act in the movies failed, while the Mutant Restriction Act in this world was successfully enacted.

The original body's father was a mutant who opposed the Mutant Restriction Act, so he had never completed the registration as required by the act.

Not only that, but the original body's father, who was a billionaire, also formed an underground mutant organization called the "Crimson Manor," which helped and took in mutants who also opposed the Mutant Restriction Act.

The place where Richard was currently located was the headquarters of the "Crimson Manor."

There were now more than fifty mutants living in the manor.

Two days ago, the original body's father left the manor with three mutants to pick up a group of new members who wanted to join the organization in Los Angeles.

However, somehow the news leaked, and the original body's father and his group were arrested by agents from the Department of Mutant Affairs.

Although he occupied the original body's body, to Richard, the original body's father was no different from a stranger.

Of course, if his strength allowed, he wouldn't mind rescuing the original body's father as a repayment for occupying the original body's body.

However, based on the current situation, even if he wanted to repay the original body's father, he couldn't do it in a short time.

He didn't know where the original body's father was being held.

More importantly, he currently didn't have the strength to rescue the original body's father.

He could repay the favor, but he wouldn't risk his life for it.

After browsing the memories left by the original body and understanding the current situation, he opened the attribute panel and looked at the X-Gene Superpower section.

When his attention focused on the words "Plunder", the system immediately provided a corresponding explanation.

Plunder: Plunder the superpower of the person killed by your own hands. Can evolve. Current level: Beta-level

PS: Cannot plunder superpowers exceeding your own level.

The explanation given by the system was short, only two sentences, but it was enough for him to understand what the original body's superpower was.

At the same time, he also knew why the original body's father and others thought the original body had never awakened a superpower.

Plunder the superpower of the person killed by your own hands!

The original body had never killed anyone, so the Plunder superpower had never had a chance to be displayed.

Although the system didn't explicitly state how Plunder upgraded, Richard had already guessed how to do it.

Plunder the superpowers of others! When the plundered superpowers reached a certain number, Plunder could upgrade from Beta-level to Alpha-level.

There were a total of five levels of mutants in this world.

The official classification was from Level 1 to Level 5.

The classification promoted by Professor X and Magneto before was Epsilon Level, Delta Level, Beta-level, Alpha-level, and the Omega-level, which symbolized ultimate and infinite power.

Although both were five levels, most mutants still preferred to use the classification introduced by Professor X and Magneto, which was to use Gamma Level, Beta-level, and Alpha-level to describe their superpower levels.

The reason for this was, on one hand, that most mutants disliked the Mutant Restriction Act, and therefore disliked the official classification.

On the other hand, Beta-level, Alpha-level, and Omega-level sounded better than Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5.

Although there was a level division, the level was not entirely equivalent to combat power.

After all, not all superpowers were suitable for combat.

Closing the attribute panel, Richard recalled the conversations he heard before waking up.

Although he couldn't recognize who the people speaking were, one thing he was certain of was that those guys were preparing to drive him away.

As soon as the original body's father was arrested, they wanted to drive the original body away! These people really understood "repaying kindness"!

Richard was just thinking about where to plunder his first superpower.

Now, he had a target!

If these guys who were taken in by the original body's father were really that ungrateful, then don't blame him, who occupied the original body's body, for being ruthless!
