Gimmick

Xiao He's "Erosion" can be seen as an upgraded version of Oliver and Ivan's "Plunder." It activates upon contact, and the power of Erosion is greater than that of Plunder by the two brothers. Therefore, the two brothers are completely under his control, just like "Lin Tiannan" before.

Moreover, Xiao He's Erosion had no limit; the more they attacked, the more power they Erosion. So in the end, Xiao He absorbed the "3" Mutant physiques of the two of them, while they gradually returned to being ordinary people.

As their strength diminished, the gap between them widened. Now, when the two of them attacked Xiao He, it was like ordinary people striking steel with their flesh and blood; their fists bled, but they couldn't move him.

"What? You're not going to fight anymore?" Xiao He asked with a smile. Oliver looked pained, took two steps back, and looked at the blood oozing from his fist, his hands trembling with pain.

Xiao He slapped him across the face. He was afraid of killing him, so he didn't dare to use too much force, but even so, the slap sent Oliver tumbling like a piece of paper blown away by the wind, crashing into the container next to him.

Seeing that things were going badly, Ivan immediately picked up a shipping container from the side and threw it at Xiao He.

However, he overestimated his current strength. After being Erosion by Xiao He multiple times, his strength had been greatly weakened. The container didn't even touch Xiao He before it crashed halfway down.

On the contrary, Ivan himself, who had originally planned to take the opportunity to escape, unexpectedly wasted too much of his energy and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, unable to run any further. When he looked up again, Xiao He was already standing in front of him.

"Tsk, there are clearly monsters like this in the world, yet they still call us monsters, how ridiculous," Ivan thought to himself, feeling a bit ironic. The last thing he saw was a loud slap coming straight at him.

Xiao He clapped his hands, looked at the two unconscious brothers in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction. "Truly two excellent Trigger, take them back to prison."

In Xiao He's view, the best thing about "Erosion" is that the power gained through this Erosion can be stored and given away.

Even though the two brothers are now unconscious and the "Erosion" Superpower has disappeared, the power that Xiao He Erosion from them is still there. Furthermore, he can freely allocate the Erosion power, not only to heal his own injuries but also to bestow upon others, helping them recover from injuries and increase their strength, which is extremely helpful in team battles.

The only drawback is that these two brothers don't seem to be the type to obediently cooperate with the Special Response Department. The real challenge is getting them to back down and agree to cooperate.

"Let's just take them back for now," Xiao He nodded to himself. Anyway, there were still a few months to prepare for the Mutant Competition. He could slowly persuade them over those months, using both soft and hard tactics in turn until they agreed.

"Sister Man, it's all done." Xiao He said, pressing his earpiece. Cui Man was somewhat surprised. "So fast? What kind of abilities did you gain from them?"

"We'll restrain their abilities," Xiao He replied. "I'll explain to you when I get on the Helicopter."

So, the next step was to clean up the mess and make the arrests. As was customary, Xiao He was to escort the two men back to the Mutant Prison.

Just in case, Ye Wanqing and Cui Man were on a separate Helicopter, while Qin Weize and Li Xue accompanied Xiao He on his escort mission. The guise of "participating in the mission" was really just a way to act as Trigger for him.

But there's no need for that. Xiao He has already Erosion the power of these two, and his own physique is around 6, while Ivan and Oliver's physique has dropped below 2.

The atmosphere on Xiao He's Helicopter was a bit awkward.

After all, to Li Xue and Qin Weize, Xiao He was that terrifying "warden".

"Why are you staring at me?" Xiao He asked, arms crossed.

Oliver and Ivan were fast asleep next to him, while Li Xue was watching him nervously, making him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Nothing much," Li Xue muttered, pouting. "Aren't you scared at all when you go to prison? All those inmates will attack you at once, you know? Don't you ever think about the possibility of making a mistake?"

"This is a difficult question to answer," Xiao He said after thinking for a moment. "Would you worry about having a dozen ants in your house when you get home?"

Li Xue frowned, veins throbbing on her forehead. "You mean we're just ants to you?"

"That's true, it's not quite the right way to describe it. Too many ants can still hurt people, but no matter how many of you there are, you can't hurt me." Xiao He pondered, resting his chin on his hand. "It's probably like when you come home and find a dozen or so fruit flies in your house."

This guy is infuriating! Li Xue thought through gritted teeth, but couldn't bring herself to say anything in rebuttal, because it was true. No matter how many of them there were, they couldn't hurt a single hair on Yinglong's head. Just thinking about it made her furious.

At this moment, Ivan, who was standing nearby, suddenly woke up with a groan. Because he had had less contact with Xiao He, he had been less Erosion and still had a power level close to 2.

"Screech!" Ivan struggled suddenly, startling Qin Weize and Li Xue, who were opposite Xiao He, and they immediately became alert.

"Don't move, we're in the Helicopter," Xiao He said irritably, tapping Ivan on the head.

Ivan's body shuddered violently, and he fainted again as soon as he woke up.

The commotion woke Oliver up as well. He looked around and realized he was in Helicopter, and immediately calmed down.

"Ugh, what bad luck," Oliver sighed. "I shouldn't have gotten involved with that old madman, Keton. He lost his mind at the sight of the Miracle Factor. If I'd known it would turn out like this, I would have robbed those 'special' guys; at least I might have had a chance!"

As he spoke the last few words, Oliver gritted his teeth and struggled, only to find that he couldn't even break free of the handcuffs on his wrists. He could only lean against the Helicopter cabin, panting, and glare at Xiao He, saying, "You bastard, won't you return the power Plunder?!"

"What do you mean?" Xiao He asked Oliver, puzzled. He basically understood the English sentence.

"The power you Plunder from us!" Oliver snapped. "Give it back to us right now!"

"So you can cause me trouble?" Xiao He retorted irritably.

The other person's words seemed to indicate that his Erosion effect was permanent, and the power he absorbed would not recover, at least not in the short term. In other words, these two would remain in their current state forever, never returning to their previous level?

Of course, he wasn't sure about that either; he'd have to check on the two men's condition when he came back to the prison later to find out.

However, this kind of Erosion only targets physical abilities and does not weaken the opponent's Superpower, so it can only be used against Mutant who rely on hand-to-hand combat skills.

Even so, Erosion is still a very powerful Superpower, especially suitable for targeting those guys in prison.

"Heh heh, this is an interesting Superpower. If they don't behave, I'll just drain these troublemakers into ordinary people," Xiao He thought to himself, resting his chin on his hand. Even if he didn't use it to control these people, it would be good to use the power he'd taken from them to help others recover from their injuries.

Oliver wasn't much stronger than a single Mutant at this point, so there was nothing to worry about. Xiao He told him to stay conscious. Li Xue was slightly concerned about this situation and whispered to Qin Weize, "Is this alright?"

"It's alright, Yinglong is here." Qin Weize said smugly, "I've never seen him afraid of anyone except his wife."

"You've completely become his lapdog," Li Xue said, giving him a disdainful look.

"Once you understand him well enough, you'll be smitten with him too," Qin Weize said, sounding quite proud.

After a short flight, the Helicopter arrived above the prison and slowly landed on the island in the lake. Xiao He raised his hand and used a gust of air to lift Oliver and Ivan up, then brought them into the prison.

"This is..." Oliver looked around at the prisoners, a hint of surprise on his face.

"These are luxurious mansions prepared for you disobedient Mutant," Xiao He said with a smile. "The living conditions are quite good, and everyone living here is very satisfied. Each room is 30 square meters, with internet and hot water, and three meals a day are provided in a stable and plentiful manner. There are still many vacant rooms available. You two brothers can choose an adjacent room now, isn't that great? If you come later, you'll probably have to live separately, and it will be inconvenient for you two brothers to have to go upstairs just to talk."

"Are you a real estate agent?!" the crowd couldn't help but think to themselves.

However, the first thing you see when you enter the courtyard is a group of people playing freely on the playground.

Disappointingly, these people didn't seem to intend to attack him.

"Sigh, I have no one to practice my Superpower with again," Xiao He sighed in disappointment.

At this moment, Danny Wu noticed Ivan and Oliver following behind Xiao He, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face. He rushed to Xiao He and looked at the two brothers in astonishment. "Mr. Kuhlmann! Why, even you two..."

"Tsk, what do you mean 'why'? You're here, how could you not know?" Oliver spat unhappily, turning to look at Xiao He: "Of course it's because of this monster."

"I never imagined that even the two of you combined wouldn't be a match for him," Danny Wu said with a hint of despair.

"Hey, hey, we can catch up later," Xiao He interrupted them, beckoning them over. "Come over here and sign the contract first."

Oliver turned his head in confusion. At that moment, Cui Man was holding Chen Ting's hand, staring at him with a cold expression.

"Signing a contract? What does that mean?" Oliver asked warily.

"That boy," Danny Wu raised his right hand to show the Contract Seal on the back of his hand, and explained in a low voice, "His ability can force you to abide by the contract, or you will be punished."

"What if you cut off the hand?" Oliver asked, frowning.

"It's no use," Liu Yufei shook his head. "I've already tried, the Contract Seal will appear in other places."

"So the only option is to kill this brat," Oliver sneered, then walked up to Chen Ting.

But this brat in front of him wasn't afraid of him at all, which annoyed Oliver: "I can tolerate Yinglong, but this brat isn't even afraid of me?!"

"Hey kid, aren't you afraid of me?" Oliver asked awkwardly. Chen Ting replied calmly, "No, with Yinglong around, you bad guys won't be able to do anything evil. He'll beat you to a pulp!"

Seeing Chen Ting's righteous and imposing demeanor, Oliver became even angrier. He glanced back at Xiao He, who was just standing there with his arms crossed, looking completely at ease. This only fueled his anger. "Looking down on me? You think I wouldn't lay a hand on a kid?!"

"Just state your oath and shake his hand," Cui Man explained. "Tell him you will stay here and won't attack the other prisoners."

Oliver smiled slightly and extended his hand to Chen Ting. Chen Ting bravely shook his hand, and Oliver smiled and said, "I will stay here obediently and will not attack anyone in the prison."

Before he could finish speaking, Oliver swiftly struck Chen Ting's neck with a palm strike, but he immediately realized something was wrong: before his hand could even touch Chen Ting, it was stopped by some force.

"What?!" Oliver muttered in astonishment, then elbowed Chen Ting in the face again.

An invisible barrier blocked his elbow, preventing him from touching Chen Ting in front of him.

"It's Forced Mediation Domain," Danny Wu stepped forward and explained in a low voice. "One of Yinglong's Superpower is that all violent means are ineffective within his area of influence. However, he himself cannot use violence within this zone either. Mr. Kuhlmann, I think we should consider this carefully."

But at that moment, Xiao He suddenly stepped forward and grasped Oliver's hand.

"Ah, ah!" Oliver stared at the hand gripping his wrist, his expression turning ferocious: his strength was being rapidly Erosion!

Xiao He, on the other hand, became somewhat interested: it seemed he had discovered an extraordinary combination.

The Forced Mediation Domain " and " Erosion " means that while violence is ineffective, it can Erosion the opponent's power.

Wouldn't that make him invincible? With the Forced Mediation Domain activated, he could drain everyone dry.

Sure enough, he was invincible in this prison.

"Let go!" Oliver struggled painfully, his whole body visibly weakening, as if he had aged ten years.

Xiao He then realized that his "Erosion" technique not only drained the enemy's strength, but could even absorb their life force after draining their strength.

Seeing this, Xiao He finally released his grip: This is a precious Trigger; we can't just kill it like this.

Oliver fell to the ground, panting weakly, but then a flashbang suddenly flew in front of Xiao He.

Xiao He had been tricked once before, but he wouldn't fall for it again this time. So he closed his eyes and used the "Silence" skill on the flashbang. The power of a flashbang isn't just the flash itself, but also the high-decibel noise it produces when it explodes.

It was this noise that temporarily rendered Xiao He unable to move, so as long as he used the silence effect on the flashbang and closed his eyes, he wouldn't be affected. However, when he opened his eyes, Danny Wu had already rescued Oliver.

"Hey, stop fooling around," Xiao He said impatiently, waving his hand at the two of them. "Hurry up and sign the contract!"

"Mr. Oliver, let's sign it first," Danny Wu advised, lowering his voice. "We can't beat him right now. Let's think this through."

Oliver spat in annoyance, stepped forward, shook hands with Chen Ting, and the two signed a contract.

Then Xiao He raised his hand and used the rising air currents to lift up Ivan was still unconscious beside him.

"Hey, wake up." Xiao He said, preparing to slap Ivan across the face, but unexpectedly, as Ivan floated in front of him, he suddenly raised his finger and stabbed it into Xiao He's eyes.

Just as his hand was about to pierce Xiao He's eyeball, Xiao He's body suddenly blurred, and his hand passed straight through Xiao He's body. Xiao He took a step forward and appeared behind Ivan, reforming behind him, then reached out and grabbed his head, shoving him to the ground. "This kid's pretty stubborn, just won't give up, huh? I have dozens of ways to defeat you, want to try them one by one?"

"Hey! Come on then! Let me go if you dare!" Ivan said defiantly, struggling violently, but his strength was being gradually Erosion.

"Oh!?" Xiao He suddenly became interested: there really was someone in this place who didn't submit to him.

"Good! I respect you as a man!" Xiao He nodded in satisfaction, then reached out and placed his hand on Ivan's body. But he didn't Erosion Ivan's power; instead, he returned the power that had been taken from him to Ivan.

Ivan stood up, looked at Xiao He with some suspicion, then stretched his neck and got into a fighting stance.

"Just fighting like this without any reward is pretty boring. How about we add some excitement?" Xiao He said with a smile, "If I defeat you two brothers ten times using different methods, you and your brother will have to cooperate with the Special Response Department. If I fail to do so, I'll let you and your brother leave here. What do you say?"

"Ten times?" Ivan's forehead veins throbbed. He ripped off his shirt and threw it on the ground, roaring, "Fine! Damn it, how dare he look down on us brothers!" He then turned to Oliver: "Brother, let's kill him!"

"Great!" Xiao He smiled with satisfaction, turned to Oliver beside him, raised his hand towards him, used his Psychokinesis to pull him in front of him, and grabbed him by the neck.

But Xiao He didn't attack him; instead, he returned the power he Erosion from him, and then threw him to the ground.

"Come on, don't say I'm bullying you." Xiao He clapped his hands and laughed, "I've returned all the power that was Erosion from you, and even gave you extra to heal your injuries. You're all at your peak now, so don't make excuses if you lose, okay?"

"He actually returned my power! He's got guts!" Oliver stood up, assessed his strength, and then glared at Xiao He through gritted teeth, his eyes bloodshot and veins bulging, looking like he was about to explode with rage. "You could defeat me once, fine, but you can defeat me ten times in different ways?! Arrogant! You'll pay for this!"

"Sister Man, take the kid and step back." Xiao He grinned, then got into a fighting stance: He had been worried about not having anyone to practice his Superpower with, and now these two had delivered themselves right to his doorstep, and they were even willing to let him defeat them ten times using different methods! What a stroke of luck!
