The Excited Black Skull, The Fearful Professor X (Seeking Follow-ups! Seeking Monthly Votes!)

"No, I cannot infiltrate the base headquarters."

After thinking it over carefully, Lynn frowned slightly.

He ultimately canceled his plan to transform into Locke and infiltrate the base headquarters.

"Given that these people have been able to track me down multiple times, the base must possess specific methods for locating Mutants."

Lynn's brain raced as his peerless intellect began to ponder these issues.

"Therefore, if I were to rashly infiltrate their base headquarters, I would likely be walking straight into a trap."

Lynn did not know exactly what means the base used to track him.

But he assumed it was likely through DNA detection or perhaps the Mutant energy he emitted.

"I need to find a way to resolve this tracking issue, or perhaps manipulate others to help me infiltrate the base headquarters."

It just so happened that the ocular power of his Mangekyou Sharingan had further improved, allowing him to control others silently.

Perhaps next time, when the base headquarters sent people out again, he could directly use genjutsu to control some of them and subsequently obtain more intelligence and information regarding the base.

At the Black Skull's base headquarters.

The combat footage of Locke's armed forces attempting to capture Subject 52 was transmitted to the base headquarters the moment the armored vehicles and other equipment were blown to pieces.

Black Skull sat in his office, staring at the combat footage that had just been transmitted.

Knock, knock, knock!

Before he could even click on the video, a knock sounded at the office door.

Immediately after, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman dressed in a black office suit walked in.

"Commander Black Skull, we have discovered the trail of Professor X and his group. Should we..."

"Sheena, leave those Mutants at the X-Mansion alone for now," Black Skull said.

"Then..." Sheena approached Black Skull's desk, her expression hesitant.

"What about Magneto and his group? It seems their goal, like that of Professor X and the others, is our Subject 52."

If S.H.I.E.L.D. could detect Magneto's movements, then an organization like theirs, which specialized in targeting Mutants, certainly could as well.

Magneto, Professor X, and several other Mutants were all high-priority surveillance targets for the base.

As long as there was the slightest movement, it would be noticed by organizations like theirs.

"Oh? Their target is actually Subject 52?"

Black Skull raised an eyebrow.

He had just been about to click on the video of Locke and his team fighting Subject 52.

He hadn't expected to receive the news that both Magneto and Professor X were looking for Subject 52.

Could it be that Subject 52 possessed something that attracted both of those guys?

Black Skull shook his head internally; he didn't think so.

He had long been aware of Subject 52's abilities.

Even if he had hidden other powers, he was still just a slightly larger ant.

Perhaps he possessed something that both Magneto and Professor X needed, though.

Thinking this, Black Skull clicked on the transmitted combat footage.

In the video, over ten thousand rounds of ammunition from the CIWS, countless missile salvos from the Patriot Missile System, as well as Sentinel Robots and armed fighter jets, were all deployed.

The moment they opened fire, they bombarded the small hill where Base 10 was located, leveling it to the ground.

Seeing this, Black Skull frowned slightly.

"This Locke, actually wiping out Base 10 and the Mutant criminal Subject 52 directly... that is truly too reckless."

Although a Mutant like Subject 52 didn't have strong abilities, he was still an experimental subject for their base.

He still had some value.

Not to mention that at Base 10, there were many other experimental subjects, equipment, and research data.

That Locke had gone in and unleashed all his firepower immediately made Black Skull somewhat annoyed.

However.

When the smoke cleared and he saw Subject 52 completely unharmed, along with several other individuals who looked exactly like him, Black Skull stood up abruptly.

His pupils constricted sharply, and a trace of wild joy surged onto his face.

"Clones? This Subject 52 actually has the ability to create clones?!"

Black Skull's tone was filled with excitement.

He had originally thought that Subject 52 only possessed very ordinary abilities like discharging electricity or breathing fire.

I never expected that Subject 52 could actually split into so many clones.

Wouldn't such an ability provide them with an endless supply of test subjects?

They could even do so much more with it later on.

Thinking of this, the excitement on Black Skull's face grew more and more intense.

Even the scene of Lynn blasting away the entire armed force with a white shockwave did not shake the thoughts in his mind.

After all, in his eyes, the destructive power Lynn displayed had nowhere near reached the level of a Level 4 Mutant.

Merely destroying a single armed force was still far too weak.

Compared to Subject 01 and Subject 07, who could destroy entire cities, it was not even worth mentioning.

With the help of Subject 03, the younger brother of Subject 01, his mental abilities would likely be enough to take care of this Subject 52.

Thinking of this, Black Skull excitedly picked up the communicator on the table.

"Will and Subject 03 are near New York. Tell him to take Subject 03 and rush over immediately. I want to see this Subject 52 as soon as possible.

It would be best if he's alive, but a corpse will do, as long as it's fresh!"

Professor X did not wait for Cyclops Scott and his team to bring back news of that mutant.

However, he saw the scene where a black-and-gold figure unleashed a terrifying white shockwave, annihilating an armed force.

Countless modern thermal weapons detonated in an instant, creating a terrifying explosion.

It even blasted out a horrific crater over 70 meters in diameter.

Although, to Professor X, this level of attack could not even compare to Magneto, who wanted to alter the Earth's polar magnetic fields.

Yet, it still filled Professor X's heart with fear, for this was a sign that the apocalypse was coming.

He hurriedly used his telepathic abilities to remotely contact Cyclops Scott and the others who were out in the field.

"What is it, Professor Charles?"

Cyclops's voice echoed in his mind.

Professor X took a deep breath and said:

"Scott, you must find him quickly. I can already see the future becoming clearer and clearer.

If his power is not brought under control, the world will truly head toward destruction."

Scott originally wanted to say something, but immediately after, he saw the image Professor X transmitted via his telepathic ability.

It was a tall, muscular man charging forward at incredible speed.

Then, the man clenched his right fist and punched forward.

Upon seeing the terrifying, ultra-high-pressure white shockwave, Cyclops was completely stunned.

How much power would it take to punch the air and create a shockwave?

Professor X said with a grave expression:

"You've seen it too, haven't you? We must find him as soon as possible, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

Lynn was unaware of the thoughts of Black Skull and Professor X.

He was sitting in his hotel, attempting to use his gradually expanding Observation Haki and his own heart to perceive the entire world.

Through the perception of Observation Haki and the Perfect Realm's control over power, he could clearly feel every free particle in the air.

He could not make the structure of these particles change according to his will.

However, he could use the structure of these particles as a reference to construct his own martial arts techniques.

"With my pure power, if I were to compress these particles frantically, what would happen?"

Just then, Lynn suddenly felt as if someone was watching him.

He turned his head to look out the window.

Immediately after, Lynn saw a man holding a sniper rifle, giving him a thumbs-up.

It seemed as if he was... aiming at him?
