At the same time, an Urban Lady with a slender, curvaceous figure crossed the street, entered a narrow alley, and finally walked into a room.
Inside the room, a man wearing a strange helmet stood by the window, gazing deeply at the bustling traffic below.
"Eric, I found some new information. Stryker and Charles are both looking for a mutant named Su Mu, but his mutant ability is only Level One Energy Absorption. I suspect that his mutant ability underwent a Secondary Awakening, which is what drew their attention."
Magneto did not turn around. He continued observing everything before him, especially those ordinary people without mutant abilities.
"Energy Absorption... Raven, make contact with Su Mu immediately. We must reach him before they do. Any mutant who has caught Charles and Stryker's attention is definitely no ordinary person. Bring him into the Brotherhood of Mutants!"
Naturally, Su Mu had no idea that several factions had already set their sights on him because of his Secondary Awakening ability.
By now, he had left Hell's Kitchen. With the dollars generously donated by gang members, he bought a new set of clothes and took a shower at an inn.
Because he had continuously absorbed energy and used it to strengthen his body, even though he had not yet learned Reverse Cursed Technique, his injuries were still recovering at a speed far beyond that of an ordinary person.
Even some of the scars left behind were gradually fading, revealing fair skin beneath.
After putting on a pair of round-framed sunglasses, he looked completely refreshed. There was no trace of the wretched state he had been in within the underground prison. He now looked like a sinisterly handsome man standing 1.9 meters tall.
After bidding farewell to the female shop owner, who had been constantly shooting him flirtatious looks, Su Mu walked outside beneath her regretful gaze.
Having been captured by the military and threatened by Kingpin, he did not want to stay in any one place for too long.
Opening the System Panel, Su Mu looked toward the Energy Points section.
[Energy Points: 3425]
After several hours of uninterrupted energy absorption, Su Mu's Energy Points had reached a staggering three thousand!
He immediately invested all his Energy Points into the system. His Template Fusion Degree rapidly increased before finally stopping at 23%.
The system's notification finally sounded again:
[Template Fusion Degree: 23%] [You have awakened a new skill: Reverse Cursed Technique] [Reverse Cursed Technique lv1 (1/100): Converts the negative energy of Cursed Energy itself into positive energy, possessing an extremely powerful healing effect.]
He had finally obtained Reverse Cursed Technique!
After gaining Reverse Cursed Technique, Su Mu's survival capabilities would rise once again, granting him self-healing abilities even stronger than a Lizardman's!
When he obtained Reverse Cursed Technique, Su Mu learned from the information in his mind that he could not yet use it on others and could only heal himself.
However, as the skill level increased, all of this would be resolved. He might even gain the ability to bring the dead back to life and restore things to their original essence!
Hmm?
Just then, through the Six Eyes, Su Mu noticed a figure charging toward him at extreme speed.
It was a Brute over two meters tall. Ignoring the civilians around him, he barreled forward recklessly, sending countless people flying.
In mere moments, the surroundings were filled with wails of agony, and some civilians had even died.
Farther away, drones and the bulk of the military had already assembled and were continuously rushing toward this location.
The Brute came to a stop. His muscles were knotted all over, his skin a deep gray, while countless veins writhed beneath it, constantly delivering energy to his powerful body.
A dwarf-like Short Man was riding on his back. Unlike the Brute, the Short Man was incredibly thin and weak. Even his entire body was not as thick as the Brute's arm.
Su Mu did not leave. Judging from the speed he had observed through the Six Eyes, the Brute was far faster than him. Unless he mastered the advanced application of Technique Reversal "Azure"—Teleportation—he would not be able to escape the man's pursuit.
Unfortunately, the level of his Technique Reversal "Azure" was still too low, and he had yet to master it.
The Brute stopped ten meters away from Su Mu. His bare feet sank into the ground, shattering the pavement completely and reducing the momentum in his body.
A large number of flying stones shot toward Su Mu, but before they could touch him, they floated in midair, unable to come even an inch closer.
Seeing this, the Brute nodded and said, "White hair, azure eyes, and this strange ability... You're Number 9527, aren't you?"
"9527?"
Su Mu was very familiar with that number. Wasn't that the designation from the movie?
Why was this Brute calling him 9527?
Seeing Su Mu's confusion, the Brute had no intention of explaining.
"Number 9527, don't resist. Come back with me. Colonel Stryker wants to see you. Don't make any futile attempts at resistance. You won't want your limbs twisted off before being forcibly taken back!"
The Brute spoke as though it were only natural. Clearly, he did not take Su Mu seriously at all, treating him as prey he could hunt at will.
With that, he charged forward and reached for Su Mu. Yet when he was only a few centimeters away, he could not get any closer!
Limitless Technique!
Seeing this strange phenomenon, the Brute's face twisted viciously before he said:
"Looks like you're determined to learn the hard way. Perfect—before you join us, I'll teach you some rules!"
Su Mu nudged his round-framed sunglasses up, revealing his exquisite azure eyes.
In a deliberately unserious manner, he picked at his ear with his little finger, held up the finger—which had no earwax on it at all—and blew toward Brute.
Under Brute's furious glare, Su Mu flashed a brilliant smile, though his eyes were filled with nothing but coldness.
"Fine. We do need to set some rules. As long as you cry and apologize, I'll spare your life. That's the rule!"
How arrogant!
Being looked down on so blatantly by his own prey, Brute could no longer endure it. He swung his fist at Su Mu, but it had no effect whatsoever.
Su Mu lowered his sunglasses and slowly walked toward Brute. Then Brute felt an immense force crushing down on him, leaving his massive body—once his greatest pride—utterly unable to resist beneath that terrifying pressure.
At that moment, the troops in the distance arrived as well. They fired wildly at Su Mu, but the bullets likewise could not get anywhere near him.
Just like that, amid a hail of bullets, Su Mu pinned Brute against a wall. As he continued forward, the wall gradually began to crack apart.
"Aren't you going to cry and beg for mercy?"
Su Mu said calmly.
Looking at the enemy before him, Brute finally realized that this target was on an entirely different level from all his previous opponents. He was no match for him at all!
Fear fermented in his heart, filling his mind in an instant.
Ignoring the plan, he shouted:
"Why aren't you making your move?!"
The instant Brute spoke, Su Mu sensed a familiar fluctuation—the power of space!
Looking again at the dwarf on Brute's body, it was indeed him who had unleashed the spatial power. An invisible Space Blade shot toward Su Mu at tremendous speed.
The Space Blade was too fast. He had no way to dodge it!
Squelch!
The sound of flesh tearing rang out. Amid Brute's savage laughter, Su Mu was nearly cut in half at the waist by the Space Blade!
