Just as Richard was fantasizing about the good life after becoming the God of Mutants, the system's voice rang out in his mind.

"Manipulating electricity can be converted into the skill 'Great Lightning'. Convert?"

"Freezing can be converted into the skill 'Great Blizzard'. Convert?"

Upon hearing the system's voice, Richard didn't hesitate and immediately chose "Yes".

The next second, new system information appeared in his vision.

Skill Great Lightning awakened! Skill Great Blizzard awakened! Skill and X-Gene superpower information updated! Skills: Octaslash (Level 1, 11/100), Earth Shake (Level 1, 1/100), Sky Tremor (Level 1, 0/100), Zanshin (Level 1, 1/100), Iai Slash (Level 1, 0/100), Great Lightning (Level 1, 0/100), Great Blizzard (Level 1, 0/100) X-Gene Superpowers: Plunder, Super Strength, Super Constitution, Flash, Mental Isolation, Super Self-Healing

Great Lightning and Great Blizzard are both skills that Sephiroth has in the remake game.

Great Lightning releases lightning to attack enemies, while Great Blizzard summons ice to attack enemies.

In terms of effect, Great Lightning and Great Blizzard are not significantly different from manipulating electricity and freezing superpowers.

However, in terms of growth potential, the potential of Great Lightning and Great Blizzard is much higher than manipulating electricity and freezing superpowers.

Whether it was the ability to manipulate electricity plundered from Marek, or the freezing ability plundered from Beverly, they were only Beta-level superpowers.

Although Beta-level superpowers are not bad, compared to Alpha-level and Omega-level superpowers, Beta-level superpowers are not considered strong.

But Great Lightning and Great Blizzard are different.

Just looking at their performance in the remake game, Great Lightning and Great Blizzard are indeed not particularly strong.

But this is not in the game now.

According to the system's description, all skills can be upgraded to the template's limit.

Although he wasn't sure where Sephiroth's template limit was, Richard's intuition told him that Great Lightning and Great Blizzard should be able to upgrade to a level comparable to Alpha-level superpowers.

If the template limit is high enough, it's not impossible to upgrade to Omega-level abilities.

Closing the information panel, Richard took out the cigar lighter he had taken from the reception room just now and lit the gasoline-soaked wall.

Then, amidst the rapidly spreading fire, he unhurriedly left the main building and came to the open space in front of the main building's gate.

At this time, thirty to forty people were gathered in front of the main building.

These people were ordinary members of the organization.

They looked at the main building gradually being engulfed by the fire with complex expressions, unable to understand why Richard would do something so extreme.

Even if he was dissatisfied with Marek and the others voting to drive him away, wasn't killing Marek and the others enough to vent his anger?

Was it necessary to burn the main building as well?

Without the main building, where would they live in the future? Just as they were about to say something, Richard's voice rang out.

"The organization is disbanded, you can leave."

What? Hearing Richard's words, everyone showed surprised expressions.

They were just thinking if Richard was going to take them to other secret bases.

For example, a manor in the suburbs of another city.

After all, the original body's father was a billionaire, and he might have secretly purchased more than one manor.

Unexpectedly, Richard actually disbanded the entire organization directly.

"How can you do this?"

"You're being too irresponsible!"

"Your father didn't promise this back then!"

"You burned down the main building, and now we don't even have a place to live!"

"No, you must give us an explanation!"

"That's right, you either give us enough money or arrange new accommodation for us, otherwise we won't leave!"

Soon, more than a dozen people blocked Richard's path, speaking loudly to him with great indignation.

Glancing at the dozen or so people in front of him, Richard didn't hesitate and silently chanted in his heart.

Great Lightning! Boom! The next second, five or six silver-white lightning bolts of varying sizes descended from the sky, striking these people.

Although he didn't fully unleash Great Lightning, the lightning bolts from the sky still caused considerable damage to these people, sending all of them flying.

"An explanation?"

"Why should I give you an explanation!"

"What right do you have to demand an explanation from me!"

"Is it because you eat my family's food, live in my family's house, or is it because of your greed and ingratitude?"

"My father was captured, and instead of thinking about how to rescue him, you're all just eating and drinking as if nothing happened."

"Every single one of you just says this isn't good, that isn't good. You want to eat well and use expensive things. Since you've been here, have you made any contributions?"

"No, nothing! You haven't earned a single cent for the organization, you haven't done a single contributing thing. You're just a bunch of ungrateful wretches who only know how to eat, drink, and play!"

"You want an explanation, huh? No problem. My explanation is that I can personally send each and every one of you to hell, so you can continue to be with Marek and the others."

"That's the explanation I'll give. Do you dare to ask for it!"

Although he only occupied the original body and wasn't the original person, seeing this group of ungrateful wretches who couldn't be nurtured, Richard was still furious.

The original body had a weak personality, so he usually didn't dare to say anything.

But he wasn't the original body.

If it weren't for the fact that these people were personally brought back by the original body's father one by one, he would want to use a genuine sword to kill these ungrateful bastards right now.

Hearing Richard's words, and mainly after being taught a lesson by his Great Lightning, the people who had just been demanding an explanation from him all became mute.

Let alone continuing to demand an explanation from Richard, even though their bodies were in intense pain, they were now trying their best to endure it, not daring to make a sound, afraid that Richard would continue to attack them.

"I'll give you one minute, all of you get lost!"

"If you're still here after one minute, I'll personally send you to hell!"

After speaking, Richard didn't pay any more attention to these people and went straight to the Ford pickup he had driven earlier, taking out the other four barrels of gasoline from the cargo bed.

Seeing Richard carrying the gasoline barrels towards the garage, the mutants gathered in front of the main building left one by one.

It was obvious that Richard's current intention was not to let them drive away.

To be precise, he wouldn't let them take away anything of value.

The garage, the church, the warehouse, the garden...

Even the main building was burned down, so of course Richard wouldn't spare these places either.

After spending more than ten minutes setting these places on fire and standing in front of the main building to admire his "masterpiece," Richard returned to the Ford pickup and drove away from the manor, which was completely engulfed in flames.

Los Angeles.

Department of Mutant Affairs, Los Angeles Branch.

Conference room.

A tall, muscular, middle-aged black man who looked like a bodybuilder held a document and said to the mutant agents in the conference room, "Roy Wesley, who was arrested two days ago, has 'confessed'."

"On the surface, he is the chairman of the Wesley Group, a wealthy man with a good reputation who often participates in charity events."

"But these are all his disguises."

"He is the founder of the underground organization 'Crimson Manor', and he has attracted many mutants who oppose the restriction act."

"Currently, there are a total of over 50 unregistered mutants in Crimson Manor, including his son, Richard Wesley."

"According to his confession, there are only 5 Level 3 Mutants in Crimson Manor, and the rest are Level 2 and Level 1."

"This is just a small organization with ordinary strength, so there's no need for everyone to go together. Slater, Bourne, Inessa, the three of you take a special forces team and make a trip to capture them all."

"If they resist, kill them on the spot!"
