After taking out several diligent security guards, Su Mu slowly made his way into Stark Tower, ready to check out the birth of the supervillain Iron Monger.
Just then, a huge arc caught his attention.
Through the Six Eyes, terrifying energy danced before him, like a beautiful cake waiting for him to take a bite.
He immediately forgot all about Iron Monger. What was Iron Monger compared to energy?
With the Six Eyes' precise control, a massive amount of electricity escaped from the giant Arc Reactor, then was gradually absorbed by Su Mu.
[Energy Points +1] [Energy Points +1] [Energy Points +1]
Since Energy Absorption had reached Lv. 3, this was the first time he'd pushed it into overdrive, frantically absorbing electricity!
He poured all his energy points into the character template, and its fusion percentage jumped every few minutes!
Template Fusion: 28% Template Fusion: 29% Template Fusion: 30%
As the fusion percentage reached thirty percent, a flood of memories surged into Su Mu's mind: an advanced technique for controlling Cursed Energy—Black Flash!
In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, when a physical blow and a Cursed Energy strike landed almost simultaneously, within 0.000001 seconds of each other, space would warp!
The power of the attack would then be raised to the 2.5th power of its usual strength!
This was a technique that grew more powerful as its user grew stronger!
Because Black Flash was so difficult to pull off, no sorcerer could use it with complete reliability.
So this astonishingly powerful technique could only be performed through sheer luck.
But Su Mu was different...
He possessed the Six Eyes and Energy Absorption, two extraordinary abilities from different worlds. As his skill levels rose, his control over energy would far surpass Gojo Satoru's. In the future, he might even be able to land Black Flash every time!
By then, using Energy Absorption and Cursed Energy control to strengthen his body, Su Mu might even be able to fight the Hulk hand to hand!
As Su Mu continued absorbing energy, he suddenly heard a startled cry behind him. When he looked back, he saw that Pepper Potts had escaped.
But for some reason, the moment he turned to look at her, Pepper let out a piercing scream. Her legs trembled as she stumbled and rushed out of Stark Tower.
Su Mu stood where he was, puzzled. He slowly reined in the wild, delighted grin on his face and stopped absorbing electricity, giving the room—still ravaged by the power surging through it—a chance to rest.
He wondered deeply to himself:
"Do I really look that scary?"
Pepper Potts fled Stark Tower and immediately looked back. Seeing that the terrifying White-Haired Demon hadn't followed her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She'd thought most of the news reports were exaggerated. But after seeing the White-Haired Demon, she realized they hadn't been lying. If anything, reality was even more outrageous than the news!
The White-Haired Demon was terrifying!
Remembering that crazed grin and the white-haired figure surrounded by terrifying currents, Pepper shuddered again.
"Pepper..."
Just then, Tony's voice came through her earpiece.
Before Tony could say anything else, she blurted out:
"Tony, the White-Haired Demon... the White-Haired Demon is here too!"
Tony Stark was baffled. Wasn't it Obadiah? Why had the White-Haired Demon suddenly entered the picture?
But he had no time to think it through. Pepper had let out a scream, which meant she was in danger!
Tony Stark increased the thrust again, gaining even more speed. Seconds later, he finally spotted Iron Monger taking aim at Pepper with his weapons.
Without a moment's hesitation, he charged straight through the hail of bullets and shells, smashing into Iron Monger and sending him crashing through wall after wall until they landed on a nearby road!
They continued fighting in the road, and Tony Stark was completely outmatched. Even after luring Iron Monger high into the air and making use of the icing conditions at altitude to send him crashing down, Tony still couldn't finish him off.
In the end, as Tony Stark prepared to have Pepper turn on every circuit so he could detonate the Arc Reactor, he heard the crisp sound of footsteps nearby.
"My, my. It'd be such a waste to destroy a power source that strong..."
At the sudden voice, Tony Stark and Iron Monger both turned toward its source.
Their detection systems hadn't picked up a thing before the newcomer spoke!
First, they saw a flash of white hair, then a pair of brilliant azure eyes gleaming in the night, and a handsome face wearing a carefree smile.
Then they heard the mysterious white-haired man say to Tony Stark:
"How about I kill Obadiah for you, and you give me one Arc Reactor?"
Tony Stark immediately ordered J.A.R.V.I.S.,
"J.A.R.V.I.S., pull up his file!"
J.A.R.V.I.S. responded at once,
"He appears to be Su Mu, a Level 5 Mutant who fought another Mutant in the Manhattan District a few days ago."
At the same time, J.A.R.V.I.S. brought up Su Mu's detailed file and pictures of his various abilities on the holographic display before Tony Stark.
Looking at the terrifying Azure Black Hole and the strange red-and-black Qidian, Tony Stark was at a loss.
Had the world really changed so much while he was building the Mark II?
After reviewing the file, Tony Stark didn't hesitate. He said to Su Mu,
"Deal!"
Obadiah had witnessed the entire exchange between Su Mu and Tony Stark.
Although he didn't believe a human could possess such astonishing power, he didn't want to complicate matters. He said to Su Mu,
"White-Haired Demon, kill Tony for me. I'll pay you a hundred million dollars and give you three Arc Reactors!"
He watched Su Mu with complete confidence, waiting for the White-Haired Demon to give in to the lure of money.
But something he never expected happened. The White-Haired Demon smirked at him and said with a grin,
"You? Can you even make an Arc Reactor?"
Obadiah fell silent. He couldn't make an Arc Reactor. He'd only offered one to trick the Mutant in front of him; once this was over, he planned to kill him—and wouldn't pay him a cent of that hundred million, either!
Seeing his plan exposed, Obadiah sighed, then said nonchalantly,
"Young man, don't be too clever for your own good!"
Suddenly, Obadiah took control of Iron Monger and threw every last bit of its power into a swift attack on Su Mu.
He planned to kill the Mutant who'd appeared out of nowhere. As for what the video had shown, how could a human possibly possess such power?
A barrage of ammunition and a massive iron fist arrived almost at once. Just as Tony Stark and Obadiah were sure Su Mu was done for, they witnessed a sight that left them utterly shocked.
The bullets and Iron Monger's enormous fist both stopped in front of Su Mu, unable to advance even an inch.
Then they saw the mysterious Mutant named Su Mu swing a seemingly slender arm at Iron Monger, which was far larger than he was.
BOOM!
A terrifying Black Flash erupted where the fist met Iron Monger!
The giant Iron Monger was sent flying by a single blow from an ordinary human. It smashed through wall after wall and shattered one large metal sculpture after another, before crashing onto the road in the distance and lodging in the wall at its edge!
