A Gift Named Despair

Seeing Richard stand up and draw the Masamune sword that was stuck in the ground, the 14 Mutant Agents who had entered the plaza immediately entered a combat state.

Although they had only just arrived, they had all received news that Richard had destroyed the Sentinel Robots and severely injured Action Department Director Benjamin with a strange long-range attack.

This was because the surveillance personnel had only seen him take away the severely injured Benjamin, not seen him kill Benjamin.

Out of a rigorous attitude, and mainly to avoid affecting the morale of these Mutant Agents, the surveillance personnel did not tell them that Benjamin was likely already dead.

As members of the Action Department, these Mutant Agents knew very well what kind of strength Benjamin possessed.

Furthermore, they also knew how strong the Sentinel Robots, the trump card of the Department of Mutant Affairs, truly were.

And now, Richard had single-handedly destroyed three Sentinel Robots and severely injured Benjamin.

Although they hadn't fought yet, they could already confirm that Richard was the strongest enemy they had faced since joining the Action Department.

If at first they felt that Benjamin issuing an A-level Wanted Order for Richard was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Then now, not only did they no longer have such a thought, but they also felt that Benjamin had underestimated Richard.

Richard, who could single-handedly destroy three Sentinel Robots and severely injure Benjamin, already had the qualifications for the Department of Mutant Affairs to issue an S-level Wanted Order.

After all, Magneto had only destroyed five Sentinel Robots by himself back then.

Even if Richard's current strength was not as good as Magneto's, and he hadn't caused a major incident that shocked the United States and the world like Magneto.

But just looking at his performance tonight, he had the qualifications to be on the S-level Wanted Order.

Seeing that none of the 14 Mutant Agents had the intention of taking the initiative to attack, Richard didn't hesitate at all, and immediately used Flash, appearing like a ghost in front of two of the Mutant Agents.

Octaslash! He didn't use Earth Shake or Iai Slash, but instead used Sephiroth's signature skill, Octaslash.

Eight fluid, lightning-fast slashes instantly cut out!

Chichichichichichi...

Seeing Richard disappear from their sight, the two Mutant Agents immediately became fully alert, ready to be attacked by Richard at any moment.

However, when Richard used Flash to appear in front of them and unleashed Octaslash, they still couldn't do anything in time, and could only watch helplessly as the Masamune sword sliced through their bodies.

Was he really just awakened to his superpower? In the final moments of their lives, the same question flashed through the minds of the two Mutant Agents.

Then, with faces full of unwillingness and shock, they fell down.

To be precise, they turned into large and small pieces of corpses that fell onto the ground of the plaza.

Seeing Richard instantly kill two Mutant Agents, whether it was the remaining Mutant Agents, the reporters on the news helicopter, or the audience watching the live broadcast, they all showed shocked expressions.

In front of Richard, the two killed Mutant Agents were like two ordinary people with slow reactions, standing still in place, allowing him to attack them.

No resistance, no evasion, not even a noticeable movement! This was unscientific!

How was this possible?

He must have used an invisible superpower!

Seeing that the two Mutant Agents were easily killed by Richard without doing anything, the audience who thought Richard would definitely not be able to leave the Los Angeles Branch alive tonight showed expressions of disbelief.

They could accept the Mutant Agents being defeated by Richard, but they could not accept the Mutant Agents being easily killed by Richard without doing anything.

For them, who believed in the Department of Mutant Affairs and discriminated against mutants, the scene before them was equivalent to completely destroying their long-held beliefs.

If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't make the Mutant Agents on the scene hear their curses through the screen, they would definitely be using the most unpleasant language to "greet" the Mutant Agents on the scene right now, asking them if they only knew how to waste taxpayers' money.

The audience watching the live broadcast couldn't accept the scene they were seeing, and the Mutant Agents on the scene were even more unable to accept it.

Not only that, seeing Richard easily kill two companions as if crushing ants, they all involuntarily developed an indescribable instinctive fear.

The Mutant Agents with relatively weaker wills even had the idea of leaving here immediately and resigning.

Although the treatment at the Department of Mutant Affairs was very good, even several times that of ordinary police officers.

But no matter how good the treatment was, they had to be alive to enjoy it.

If they died, no matter how much compensation the Department of Mutant Affairs gave, it would have nothing to do with them personally.

Richard didn't have Telepathy.

However, seeing the expressions on the faces of these Mutant Agents, he knew that these Mutant Agents had all developed uncontrollable fear.

Upon discovering this, he didn't continue attacking the other Mutant Agents, but instead spoke to them:

"I've been thinking about what 'gift' to give you all, to repay the Department of Mutant Affairs for the A-level Wanted Order it issued against me."

"Now, I have the answer!"

"I'll give you Despair!"

To ensure that the Mutant Agents present could clearly hear his words, and also to have the news helicopter broadcast his words.

Richard specifically used the Magic Power trick he had just mastered a few days ago, allowing his voice to be clearly transmitted to everyone on the scene and broadcasted.

Despair?

Hearing Richard's words, the expressions of the Mutant Agents present were as ugly as could be.

If their strength allowed it, they would definitely express their dislike for the "gift" Richard gave them with action without a second thought.

Unfortunately, they didn't possess such strength.

Although these Mutant Agents didn't answer him, Richard wasn't going to waste any more time.

Flash!

Under everyone's gaze, he vanished once again.

The next second, he appeared behind a female agent who was quite attractive, with a shapely figure and long golden wavy hair.

Pfft! Masamune flashed out like lightning, and the female agent's head flew high into the air, her life ending unexpectedly.

After killing the female agent, Richard didn't continue to use Flash, but instead cast Great Fire.

Blazing Wall!

As Great Fire was cast, a fire wall composed of scorching flames, over ten meters high, appeared out of thin air, completely surrounding the plaza.

Blazing Wall wasn't an extra skill, but a derivative technique of Great Fire.

Whether it was a fire wall, a fireball, or a pillar of fire, they could all be cast with Great Fire.

Seeing the Blazing Wall instantly surround the plaza, both the Mutant Agents present and the audience watching the live broadcast guessed his intention.

Close the Door and Beat the Dog!

Although they guessed Richard's intention, guessing didn't mean they could stop him.

Surrounding the plaza with the Blazing Wall could, on one hand, prevent these Mutant Agents from escaping, and on the other hand, prevent the Los Angeles police and Special Forces Members outside from taking potshots at him from a distance.

Under the gaze of countless viewers, Richard began the final cleanup.

Or rather, the final slaughter.

Octaslash, Earth Shake, Iai Slash, Great Lightning, Great Blizzard, Great Fire, Dimension Slash...

Flash, Repel, Ion Blast, Telekinesis...

He unleashed one skill and X-Gene Superpower after another, like the Grim Reaper descending from hell to the human world, frantically harvesting the lives of the Mutant Agents.

Lightning, blizzard, and flames intertwined...

Splattered blood, scattered limbs and broken arms all over the ground...

Thunderous roars, explosions, screams...

Richard, holding Masamune, put on a Slaughter Feast in front of countless viewers that would be unforgettable for a lifetime.
