X-Men and Magneto Make Their Moves

"Secret weapon?"

"Yi Li Na looks very confident. She probably won't fail this time."

"I'm really curious..."

"Yi Li Na is so sure of herself. That fugitive won't get away this time, haha..."

"Agreed!"

The netizens discussed it heatedly, anticipation rising in their hearts.

They were already getting impatient, wanting to hear Yi Li Na announce that the mutant fugitive had been caught! This time, would there be a livestream too?! The netizens were curious and expectant.

While ordinary people discussed when the fugitive would be defeated by the secret weapon and captured, the mutants who saw the news, along with some of Su Yao's acquaintances, began to worry.

In a dim underground passage.

"This kid..."

Wolverine Luo Gen set down his cigar, his brows tightly furrowed as worry filled his heart.

Chris sighed beside him. "I hope he'll be safe."

Otto and Valentine exchanged a glance.

"Should we go help him?" Otto raised his hand and asked.

Valentine shook his head, rejecting the idea. "How? We don't even know where he is!"

"All we can do now is pray. Pray that he gets through this danger!"

Chris frowned at that. "The news Yi Li Na revealed probably isn't fake. The people going after Su must have prepared a secret weapon this time..."

"Yi Li Na sounds very confident. Su will most likely..."

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately did not. Still, everyone beside him understood what he meant.

Thinking about it, that made sense. Based on the strength Su had displayed not long ago, he was far from invincible. There were plenty of ways to deal with him.

Poisoning, assassination with a sniper rifle, being surrounded and killed by a heavily armed group, weapons targeting the X-Gene...

Just thinking about it, they could come up with quite a few methods to counter Su, much less whatever Yi Li Na called a secret weapon. It had to be even more terrifying! At that moment, Luo Gen spoke.

"Hey, that kid's in danger. We can't just sit around doing nothing. We should look for him and try to rescue him."

Chris nodded, indicating that he was willing to go search.

Otto and Valentine hesitated for a long while. In the end, they looked at the others and chose to agree.

After making some preparations, they immediately left the sewers and began searching, hoping to find Su before the government did.

While Wolverine Luo Gen and the others watched Yi Li Na's livestream, the bald Professor X at the distant X-Academy was also speaking to Cyclops Scott with a grave expression.

"Scott, have you found that Omega Mutant?"

Scott, standing to one side, shook his head.

Professor X felt somewhat tense at that, worried that the Omega Mutant would fall into the hands of people with evil intentions. If that happened, it could very well cause an unimaginable disaster! At that moment, Cyclops Scott could not hold back his confusion any longer. "Professor, is that Omega Mutant really so important that we have to find him?"

Professor X glanced at him and shook his head. He knew Scott had never truly witnessed the power of an Omega Mutant. Even what he knew had only been inferred from Jean, leaving him with only a rough estimate.

Professor X slowly explained, "Scott, you don't understand. Omega is not simply Level 5. It should be Infinity."

"The power of an Omega Level Mutant cannot be assessed by ordinary standards!"

Scott's face filled with shock.

Infinity? Was an Omega Mutant really that powerful? Was the gap between them and Level 4 really that great? While he stood there in astonishment, Professor X Charles sighed and said worriedly, "Find him as soon as possible."

After saying that, he looked at Scott. "Scott, just do your best to find the Omega Mutant. Right now, you need to help another child first."

Scott instantly understood what the professor meant and nodded.

"Professor, I'll take people to save that child."

"I'll go get Jean and the others..."

With that, he strode out of the office to find Jean, Storm, and the others.

Professor X watched his retreating figure, the worry in his eyes growing heavier—worry for the Omega Mutant and for the child who was about to fall into danger.

Over half an hour later, Laser Eye boarded a flying fighter jet with the people he had gathered and headed toward the city where the target was located.

As the X-Men made their move, Magneto Erik of the Brotherhood of Mutants also took action.

Erik turned to Mystique and asked, "Raven, why haven't you found the person I told you to look for?"

Mystique Raven, slender and covered in blue skin, shook her head. "That kid is too good at running. I really can't find him."

She had infiltrated government departments before, only to find that even they had not located him, much less herself alone.

Hearing Mystique Raven's explanation, Erik frowned, dissatisfied with her answer.

"Keep a close eye on the people in those departments. See when they go after that kid. If necessary, infiltrate them."

Erik gave the order.

Mystique Raven nodded and turned to leave.

But before she could go, Magneto Erik's voice sounded behind her. "Oh, right. What about the Omega Mutant I told you to find?"

Mystique Raven shook her head.

Magneto Erik's frown deepened.

Watching her figure disappear, Erik suddenly laughed. "Old friend, old friend, let's see who finds that Omega Mutant first!"

While the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants were making their moves, Eddie, who was fleeing for his life with Venom, also saw the news not long afterward.

Eddie did not think much about it. After reading it, he forgot all about it.

Besides them, Heidi and the other two, who had once been approached by the Underground Organization alongside Su Yao and had some dealings with him, also learned of the news because they were constantly following his situation.

At this moment, the three of them looked at one another.

After they had gone their separate ways, the three of them had asked around about what a mutant Ultimate Threat meant.

However, many people did not know what it was.

Still, they eventually came up with some guesses. It was most likely a Level 4 mutant, or even a Level 5 or Omega Level Mutant! The possibility of Level 5 or Omega Level was not small! They were shocked.

Faced with the news that Su was being hunted, their feelings were complicated. They did not know whether they should help this friend.

Noon.

The sky was gloomy and thick with dark clouds, as if a storm were about to break.

Sunshine Pervades Experience +1 Sunshine Pervades Experience +1

At this moment, Su Yao was diligently practicing Sunshine Pervades.

Ability: Sunshine Pervades (11/500) Level 2

After glancing at the panel, he grumbled inwardly, This damn weather...

If not for the weather, after practicing all morning, his progress would not have been this little.

The morning update is here. Don't wait up; everyone should go to bed early.
