Soon, Benjamin sprinted to the entrance of the office building and saw Richard killing the new batch of guards.

Without hesitation, he charged towards Richard like a mad rhinoceros.

Although he had never met Benjamin before, Richard immediately recognized that he was not an ordinary Mutant Agent.

Compared to Aiden and the others, Benjamin was much stronger, both in terms of aura and oppressive feeling.

Furthermore, Benjamin's Steel Body gave him a sense of crisis he had never felt before.

To be precise, it was a slight sense of crisis.

Although the sense of crisis wasn't particularly strong, and he didn't know how strong Benjamin's Steel Body was, one thing was certain: Benjamin was much harder to deal with than Aiden and the others combined.

His judgment was not wrong; Benjamin was indeed harder to deal with than Aiden and the others combined.

Otherwise, Benjamin, with only the Steel Body Superpower, would never have been able to hold the position of head of the Action Department, let alone make the unruly Inessa and Aiden obey his commands.

After only two or three seconds, Benjamin charged in front of Richard, his metallic right fist striking towards Richard's head like a cannonball.

Just by looking at Benjamin's punching speed, Richard knew that if he were hit in the head by this punch, he would definitely experience the feeling of his head completely exploding.

However, even so, he still did not use Flash to leave; instead, he also threw his right fist.

Attack against attack, fist against fist! Although he didn't have Benjamin's Steel Body, he also possessed Super Strength and Super Constitution far beyond ordinary people, and they had been strengthened several times.

Bang! Richard's and Benjamin's right fists collided heavily, producing a dull impact sound like a war drum.

Not only that, but the moment their fists collided, a shockwave-like air current was immediately generated.

The visible air current swept outwards at an astonishing speed, like a hurricane, blowing away the nearby guards.

The glass door of the building and the nearby windows also shattered under the double impact of the sound wave and the air current, and large and small fragments flew in all directions like raindrops.

Such powerful strength! Neither Richard nor Benjamin expected the other to have strength comparable to their own, and they had the same thought in their hearts.

Especially Benjamin.

After discovering that Richard's strength was no weaker than his own, he began to understand why Inessa and Aiden were unable to take down Richard.

Through the examination of Aiden and the others' bodies, the investigators from the Intelligence Department found that not all of them were killed by Richard with the Masamune.

In addition to the agents whose necks were severed and bodies split in two by the Masamune, many Mutant Agents were killed by Lightning and Freeze.

Although he didn't know how many Superpowers Richard possessed, so far, Benjamin knew of six.

Summon Long Blade, Flash, Repel, Lightning, Freeze, Super Strength! Although the number of Superpowers does not equate to powerful strength, a mutant with many Superpowers is definitely not weak.

After discovering that Richard was even more troublesome than he had imagined, the enraged Benjamin gradually calmed down, assumed a standard boxing stance, and attacked again.

Before joining the Department of Mutant Affairs, Benjamin was a somewhat famous professional boxer.

Although he had never won a golden belt, he was still an undeniable professional boxer.

In a boxing match, when he was about to lose, he suddenly awakened the Superpower "Steel Body".

Then, in front of the live and broadcast audience, he threw an uppercut that an ordinary person could never withstand, shattering his opponent's head with one punch.

The bloody scene not only stunned the audience at the venue and those watching the live broadcast, but even Benjamin himself was shocked.

The rest was simple.

He was convicted of first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree reckless homicide and was sentenced to 120 years in prison.

However, he did not stay in prison for long.

Less than a month after being imprisoned in a mutant prison, he was bailed out by people from the Department of Mutant Affairs.

After three months of training, he transformed from a serious offender who had committed first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree reckless homicide into an agent of the Department of Mutant Affairs.

When Benjamin assumed his habitual boxing stance and attacked again, Richard had no intention of competing with him in fighting skills, and the Masamune in his left hand flashed out like lightning.

Earth Shake!

The fatal and gorgeous four consecutive slashes flashed out like lightning, interrupting Benjamin's attack and continuously slashing across his body.

Chichichichi!

Benjamin immediately had four wounds several tens of centimeters long on his body.

This is?

Seeing that Benjamin was not cut into large and small pieces like Inessa and Aiden, Richard did not hesitate and decisively used Flash, appearing more than twenty meters away.

Although he already knew that Benjamin had Super Strength no less than his own, he did not expect Benjamin's physical defense to be so high that even Earth Shake could not kill him.

If it were the un-upgraded Earth Shake, even if it couldn't cut Benjamin into pieces, Richard wouldn't be too surprised.

But what he had just used was Earth Shake that had been upgraded to level 2.

Like the upgraded Octaslash, the power of Earth Shake had also been significantly improved.

Even if Benjamin's body was truly made of steel, he was confident that he could cut Benjamin into pieces.

However, now, level 2 Earth Shake only left wounds several tens of centimeters long and one or two centimeters deep on Benjamin's body.

Although it broke through his defense, this level of damage was not fatal.

Like Richard, an expression of surprise appeared on Benjamin's face.

Although Steel Body granted him strength far beyond ordinary people,

just by its name, one could tell that Steel Body's most powerful ability wasn't Super Strength, but rather its astonishing defensive power, even stronger than steel.

This was the first time he had been injured since awakening Steel Body.

Just as Richard and Benjamin were observing each other with wary expressions, the ground suddenly began to tremble slightly.

Along with the trembling, a circular entrance leading straight down to the third underground level appeared in the plaza in front of the office building.

A few seconds later, three tall robots, nearly four meters high, completely black, with yellow light shining from their chests and eyes, and bodies that seemed to be covered in scales, appeared in Richard's line of sight.

Sentinel Robots? Although it was the first time he had seen them with his own eyes, the moment he saw these three tall black robots, Richard recognized them as the Sentinel Robots specifically designed to hunt mutants.

In the movie Days of Future Past, only two versions of the Sentinel Robot appeared.

One was the Prototype that debuted in 1973, possessing flight capabilities, made of space polymer, and primarily attacking targets with the Gatling gun on its right hand.

As for the second version,

it was the Future Sentinel that appeared in the future, created using Mystique's transformation principle, capable of freely replicating mutant abilities and sharing them with other Sentinels, possessing advanced intelligence and joint combat capabilities.

What appeared in Richard's line of sight now was neither the 1973 Prototype nor the Future Sentinel that had completely eradicated mutants, but the Third Generation Sentinel belonging to the current era.

Is this the trump card of the Department of Mutant Affairs? Seeing these three Sentinel Robots, Richard knew that tonight's battle wouldn't end so easily.
