The blond youth suddenly burst into laughter.
Before his laughter subsided, a surge of powerful energy erupted from his body, a transparent spiral of air enveloping his entire being, his aura rising steadily and growing ever stronger.
boom!
In an instant, his aura suddenly surged dozens of times, and the air waves surrounding him turned into dazzling golden light, domineering, violent, and almost out of control.
The howling wind, with its almost tangible power, extinguished all flames within a radius of tens of meters, its might awe-inspiring.
"Such immense power... Is this the power of Superman?"
Amidst the surging golden light, Kurd felt the boundless, Berserk energy flowing within him, a look of intoxication appearing on his face.
Witnessing this scene, and seeing the increasingly ferocious and ever-growing aura of the Kurd, Ahmet and Amara exchanged a smile.
They hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.
But soon, the three of them tensed up; the real test was only just beginning.
The other side will never allow them to easily seize the ability.
Moreover, although Kurd can copy other people's abilities to a certain extent, there are obvious limitations: only once a day, and only temporarily, lasting a maximum of half a day.
This is similar to Rosa Anna, but it requires no physical contact and will not cause the original owner pain or risk, making it seem more secure.
More importantly, if he kills the original owner of the ability himself, he can permanently master it.
Unless we encounter someone stronger in the future, we will give up on it willingly.
Thinking of this, Kurd looked up at Chen Xiao in the air, a naked greed flashing in his eyes: he longed to possess this power forever.
However, to their astonishment, Chen Xiao's expression at that moment...
There was no expected fury, nor any annoyance, only a strange look as he stared at Kurd.
Those eyes were exceptionally clear in the firelight, making Kurd feel a strange tightness in his spine, as if misfortune was quietly approaching.
Suddenly, Chen Xiao laughed, "Interesting. So you came for my abilities."
Mutants who can copy the abilities of others are not uncommon in the world of American comics. Among them, the most outstanding is Professor X's son, " Legion," who possesses thousands of mutant abilities.
However, in this world, Professor X, who has been in a wheelchair since his early years, has no children, so the existence of " Legion," which can be considered a bug, does not exist.
Even Franklin, the son of Mister Fantastic who is said to be able to rewrite reality and create a multiverse, was absent, according to Chen Xiao's investigation.
After all, Mister Fantastic and his wife do not yet have children.
However, upon closer examination, it makes sense. If these two Mutants, who are almost like "program loopholes," truly existed, they wouldn't even need Jean Grey of the Phoenix Force to intervene; the two of them alone could subdue the entire world.
This also indirectly confirms the unpredictable and terrifying nature of Mutants abilities.
Take the current situation as an example: the two sides are a hundred meters apart, and the other side has completely disrupted Chen Xiao's mutated energy, even replicating the Energy Fission caused by the Second Awakening.
Not to mention the Telekinesis, but compared to the immense power released by the Second Awakening, the Telekinesis driven by only converting five-thousandths of one's spiritual power is truly insignificant.
Chen Xiao's unusual behavior aroused suspicion in Ahmet and the other two.
Ahmet growled in a low voice, "Never mind that, stick to the original plan! Attack him all at once, kill him! I want that energy absorption gene inside him!"
Before he finished speaking, Ahmet, who was seven meters tall, suddenly clenched his arms, raised his palms to the sky, and then slammed them down!
boom!
In an instant, a Berserk energy exploded! The air was forcibly compressed and solidified, transforming into a fan-shaped azure shockwave that swept outwards.
boom!
This torrent of energy, like a raging sea, crashed into Chen Xiao in the blink of an eye, instantly erupting with blinding flames and deafening roars, as rings of blazing white light tore through the night.
Almost simultaneously, Amara, who was sitting on Ahmet's shoulder, leaped down and landed with both hands on the ground. The earth instantly boiled and lava surged!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three massive pillars of Magma, each several meters thick and scorching hot, shot into the sky like three fiery dragons, carrying the force to incinerate everything, rushing straight towards Chen Xiao, their flames reddening half the sky.
Kurd, who had already copied all of Chen Xiao's abilities, believed that their strength was equal. He stomped on the ground and suddenly cracked it, rising into the air like an arrow.
On the fist, a dazzling golden energy was compressed and buzzing wildly, as if it were about to explode the void at any moment.
Kurd, codenamed " The Replicator " within the Mutants community, was previously unknown.
Ahmet was equally secretive, his public identity being that of a hereditary pharaoh of a small North African country, who had held power for many years;
The more well-known one is Amara, who briefly served in the X-Men and is known as " Magma ";
As for Encore, who is skilled in mind manipulation, and the Mutants who can freeze time in certain areas, they are little known to the outside world.
But secretly, Ahmet and Amara had joined the Hellfire Club years ago and held considerable positions;
The five individuals, who have known each other for many years, have quietly formed a secret Mutants alliance, which has remained dormant until now.
Why such a low profile? It's simply to avoid those forces that secretly covet Mutants genes, constantly set traps to hunt them down, and use live subjects for experiments.
After all, in earlier years, Mutants were generally weak and outnumbered.
Even if an individual possesses extraordinary abilities, they are only slightly stronger than the average person in daily life; once their whereabouts are exposed, they could be hunted down, disappear, or even dismembered for research overnight. They have witnessed far too many such things in recent years.
Many Mutants displayed top-tier combat power immediately upon awakening disappeared without a trace after only a few days of glory;
Even the most powerful figures on the surface, Professor X Magneto, have been lured into danger and nearly lost their lives several times.
Therefore, globally, most Mutants with exceptional abilities act cautiously, and even those with enormous wealth or high positions of power rarely show their faces in public.
Until recently, Magneto Mutants nation, and Jean Grey used the Phoenix Force to dominate the world, causing a sudden upheaval in the global landscape.
This dramatic change brought both a glimmer of hope for a turnaround and the hidden dangers of an even greater crisis.
Ahmet and his companions keenly realized that only greater power could ensure their survival in the potential chaos of the future and truly seize control of the narrative.
At this moment, " Superman " Vitas rose like a Nova, bursting into their field of vision.
What Kurd coveted was his Absolute Strength, comparable to that of a comic book protagonist;
Ahmet's focus, however, was on Chen Xiao's unique mechanism that could absorb Cosmic Energy and continuously strengthen his physical body and combat power.
Indeed, based on Chen Xiao's daily habit of flying high into the sky to bask in the sunlight, many people have already deduced that he possesses the ability to absorb solar radiation and even Cosmic Rays.
Although he once jokingly told Shadowcat, "I just love the feeling of basking in the sun."
But nowadays, anyone with a modicum of common sense wouldn't take it seriously.
Ahmet believes that if he can acquire and integrate Chen Xiao's genes, his efficiency and upper limit in absorbing cosmic radiation will undergo a qualitative change.
Just then, someone offered a high price of three billion US dollars and took the initiative to come to the door, specifically asking for the genetic sample of " Superman Vitas ", including bone marrow.
The two sides immediately reached an agreement.
As for the two undisputed pinnacles of the Mutants, Jean Grey of the Phoenix Force and Scarlet Witch, Kurd had considered them.
The Phoenix Force is located at the heart of the Mutants nation, heavily guarded with various superhumans forming layers of defenses; let alone copying abilities, even getting close is incredibly difficult. Even if one manages to copy, the effect only lasts for half a day, and one must constantly be wary of the relentless pursuit.
As for Scarlet Witch, Kurd sneaked in to test her, but only briefly triggered her "probability distortion" ability; her core Chaos Magic didn't react at all, as if it wasn't a mutant ability at all.
After careful consideration, Vitas became the best option: he could work alone and stay in Mexico; although his abilities were strong, they were all physical abilities, such as supersonic mobility, ultimate defense, high-energy Heat Vision, and energy bursts... Ahmet confident that he could withstand each of them.
Moreover, if Kurd succeeds in copying, and then joins forces with himself and Amara, the chances of victory are extremely high.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the air, three pillars of Magma followed the energy impact and slammed into Chen Xiao, triggering a series of devastating explosions.
Lava, enveloped in flames, scattered and burst forth like fireworks, dazzling yet deadly.
From the depths of the flames, Kurd, whose power had increased 150 times and who now possessed the characteristics of materialization and high explosiveness, burst forth from the flames and soared into the sky.
His fist, wreathed in golden light, tore through the Magma and fire curtain, and with immense force, slammed towards the black-haired youth's face!
boom!
In an instant, a blinding golden light ripped through the sky! A golden fireball with a diameter of more than twenty meters suddenly expanded, as if a high-yield tactical nuclear bomb had been detonated, and rolling Heat Wave waves surged, scorching Ahmet and the others in the distance.
As expected... terrifyingly strong.
The moment the light vanished, the people below paled, and the Magma roared in a hoarse voice, "How is this possible!"
Under the cover of night, Superman Vitas, who had withstood the combined attack of three people, hovered safely high in the air, unharmed, with a cold expression, his right hand firmly gripping Kurd's fist, without moving an inch.
Kurd, who was facing Chen Xiao directly, had turned pale.
Alarm bells were ringing in his mind; he was probably really going to be in trouble today.
With just the strength of one arm, his opponent completely locked down his entire body's power. The precision and depth of his control over this power were simply astonishing.
Kurd's voice was hoarse. "Why... why?"
"You mean to ask, how can I be so strong without even using my abilities?"
Chen Xiao smiled slightly and said calmly, "The reason is simple: you're too weak. You only stole a portion of my skills; you can't possibly play your entire deck."
He naturally wouldn't reveal that his true power was the Superman Origin that the X-Gene could never replicate.
Before the words were even finished, he suddenly exerted force with his wrist and threw it with tremendous power!
boom!
Kurd instantly transformed into a golden streak that tore through the night sky, shooting out at several times the speed of sound, spanning two thousand meters, and crashing heavily into the cliff edge of the city.
boom!
A burst of golden light erupted, and the earth trembled violently!
The entire cliff, which was over 200 meters high, collapsed with a deafening roar, and boulders rained down.
The luxurious villa atop the cliff was also crushed into dust, sending plumes of smoke and dust billowing into the sky in a terrifying display.
Is the X-Gene Second Awakening really that powerful?
Of course it's powerful. In recent years, very few people have been able to break through genetic constraints and achieve Second Awakening.
However, the same ability can have vastly different effects depending on who wields it.
"Oh no, Kurd! Encore!"
