Cursed Energy enhanced his body, Energy Absorption absorbed the energy from the laser beams, and Reverse Cursed Technique repaired his constantly damaged palms. Under a series of enhancements, Su Mu was able to block the laser beams, which could easily pierce steel, with just his flesh and blood!
The system's notification sounds continuously echoed in his ears:
[Energy Points +1]
[Energy Absorption EXP +1]
[Limitless Technique EXP +1]
Compared to Energy Absorption, which was harder to gain experience for even after reaching Lv3, the experience for Limitless Technique, which was only Lv2, was rapidly increasing. In a short period, it reached the verge of leveling up!
Su Mu blocked the laser with his palm and then took another step forward!
The terrifying pressure instantly surged. The powerful repulsive force from the Reverse Cursed Technique "Red" spread for hundreds of meters around him. Along the way, numerous buildings were crushed and collapsed by the immense repulsive force!
Everything turned to dust as the demon strode forward!
Faced with the sudden surge in repulsive force, even Storm and Phoenix could not withstand this massive power when they joined forces.
The X-Men were immediately sent flying. Even with Phoenix's telekinesis cushioning their fall, they were still covered in wounds from the scattered debris!
Pat, pat, pat...
The sound of shoes landing on the ground continued. The terrifying white-haired demon had not stopped walking!
Even with immediate redeployment of defenses, the immense pressure surrounding them quickly reached a critical point that Phoenix and Storm could barely withstand.
Faced with such overwhelming pressure, it felt as if their hard-earned defenses would be destroyed by the terrifying repulsive force in the next moment, and they would be crushed into powder by the irresistible power!
Cyclops, who had fallen, struggled to get up. Enduring the pain all over his body, he unleashed his laser beams with all his might from his eyes, attacking the white-haired demon before him!
Storm, beside him, did the same. She used the wind to fly in the air, continuously summoning powerful lightning bolts to strike the white-haired demon!
However, facing even stronger attacks than before, the white-haired demon, who would have previously blocked the lasers with his hands, no longer bothered to defend. Instead, he grinned at them!
Because just moments ago, Su Mu had heard the system's notification in his ears:
[Limitless Technique EXP +1]
[Congratulations, Limitless Technique has leveled up!]
[Limitless Technique Lv3 (1/1000): Interferes with matter at the atomic level, dominates space. The closer an object is to the user, the slower it will move, making it impossible to ever touch the user.]
The dazzling lightning and searing laser beams suddenly stopped just as they were about to hit Su Mu!
The searing lasers, which had been able to move forward slowly just moments ago, could no longer advance. Instead, they were repelled at an even faster speed!
The instant Limitless Technique leveled up, a flood of information surged into Su Mu's mind. The range of Limitless Technique rapidly expanded from ten centimeters outside his body to twenty, then thirty centimeters... It only stopped expanding when it reached fifty centimeters outside his body!
Compared to Lv2, the range of Limitless Technique had increased fivefold, and the laser attacks that he couldn't fully block before could now be easily resisted!
At this point, the X-Men could no longer pose the slightest threat to him!
Seeing this, Cyclops exclaimed in disbelief:
"What just happened? Why did my lasers suddenly stop working?"
Just moments ago, his lasers could still threaten the white-haired demon, but seconds later, they couldn't threaten him at all!
Professor X, standing beside him, answered his confusion:
"The white-haired demon's defensive capabilities have suddenly improved qualitatively. He now completely ignores your laser attacks...
As expected, my guess was correct!
His strength continues to increase as time passes!"
With this realization, Professor X immediately understood that they were far from being the white-haired demon's match. To guide the white-haired demon onto the right path, a longer-term plan was needed.
So, he immediately said:
"Child, stop. We have no ill intentions towards you!"
But the white-haired demon's footsteps continued, showing no signs of stopping!
Under the immense pressure, Phoenix, who was primarily maintaining their defenses, was trembling all over. Wounds, large and small, were bleeding on her body, as if she could no longer withstand the attack before her in the next moment.
Furthermore, the fiery red color in her pupils was becoming increasingly prominent, as if it could erupt at any moment!
Seeing this, Professor X became even more anxious. If Jean lost control at this moment, her battle with the white-haired demon could very well destroy the entire city of New York!
While calming Jean, Professor X anxiously said to the white-haired demon before him again:
"Child, we have no ill intentions. If we've displeased you, we'll leave immediately!"
But the white-haired demon's footsteps continued. By now, even Storm and Cyclops had noticed Jean's problem. They looked at the constantly oppressive white-haired demon and saw the Professor struggling to control Jean, their faces filled with despair.
They didn't know who would win between Jean and the white-haired demon, but they knew they were doomed, and the entire New York would cease to exist!
They never expected that their attempt to recruit the white-haired demon to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters would trigger such a massive disaster. All of them regretted it deeply now, but the disaster was imminent and could no longer be stopped...
They didn't believe that, given the white-haired demon's usual unrestrained behavior, he would suddenly stop and let them go!
However, as they faced despair, waiting for Jean to completely lose control and engage the white-haired demon, they suddenly found that at the moment Jean was on the verge of her limit, the white-haired demon actually stopped!
The terrifying pressure vanished instantly. The white-haired demon had stopped attacking at some unknown point and was now looking at them with cold eyes. The fear of death enveloped them deeply, making it hard to breathe.
They endured the oppressive atmosphere as if it were an eternity. The surroundings were silent, and this silence lasted for several minutes...
Suddenly, the X-Men tensed, seeing the White-Haired Demon move. They immediately went on full alert, anticipating the terrifying attack that could come at any moment!
However, the scene before them left them stunned. The White-Haired Demon, who had just moments ago seemed intent on killing them, took a step and vanished from his original spot, disappearing without a trace...
"What the..."
The terrifying crisis had suddenly passed, leaving him bewildered. After all, the White-Haired Demon had just wanted to kill them, and now he was considering their invitation.
Storm asked uncertainly:
"Could it be that he was truly reformed by the Professor?"
Professor X, sweating profusely, had finally pulled Jean back from the brink of losing control. Hearing Storm's words, he nodded:
"It's certainly possible, but the probability is too low. I'm more inclined to believe the second possibility—that the White-Haired Demon possesses some kind of danger sense, or even the ability to predict the future!
He used this power to foresee Jean's loss of control, which is why he left."
Hearing the Professor's words, Storm and Cyclops, aside from Phoenix who had fallen unconscious from overusing her abilities, carefully recalled the details of what had just happened. They suddenly realized the Professor's guess was more likely.
"Did he awaken another mutant ability, or did he possess it all along and only just reveal it now?"
Cyclops had never seen a mutant with so many abilities!
