Humanity, which has not truly entered space, will never survive this winter. But mutants can endure and survive."

To reduce the amount of time he needed to sleep, Shaw had even made the mutants under his command beat him with all their strength, gaining enough kinetic energy to go without sleep for a time.

But that did not mean he was immortal. Under such massive blood loss, he quickly began to feel dizzy and short of breath.

"Are you really that confident? So certain that your backup plan will work?"

Lox crouched down and gently pressed his right hand against Shaw's chest, where blood was gushing out wildly.

Under his control, countless fragments and wreckage across the battlefield melted like ice and snow, gathering into a silver stream that flowed toward Shaw's body.

Metal danced at his fingertips, while an invisible force field distorted and reshaped its microscopic structure. Using these raw materials, the nanobots in the air rapidly replicated themselves.

The robots then entered his blood vessels and muscles through the wounds in his body, linking together to form a mechanical heart capable of keeping his blood circulating normally.

The nanobots took over the role of biochemical immune cells, moving through his chest cavity, absorbing foreign matter and pooled blood to prevent
