Note that it is 100 times, not 10 times.
When the grip strength first reached 300,000 tons, the top speed was only about ten times the speed of sound; now it has jumped more than tenfold.
The changes are not limited to speed. Upon reaching the pinnacle of bronze, all abilities evolve simultaneously: the Heat Vision transforms into a " Super Heat Ray," increasing in power by several orders of magnitude.
Only then did he truly enter the ranks of Superman, with his physical abilities, reactions, energy output, and sensory precision all leaping to the "super" level, firmly maintaining his peak condition.
However, compared to the explosive growth of the Krypton genes, the evolutionary pace of the X-Gene is significantly lagging behind:
The original eight-fold increase in the level one Berserk state has now been reduced to only three times.
After its Second Awakening, it once unleashed a fission ability that increased 27 times instantly, but now it has dropped to 10 times; the upper limit of fission is still unclear.
The conversion rate of mental energy was only barely 20%, the root cause being that mental energy increased too rapidly and the genes could not keep up with the pace of adaptation.
This is not surprising. In terms of innate potential, the X-Gene is inherently weaker than the Krypton bloodline.
If one can maintain a stable increase of at least five times and at least twenty times after reaching the Bronze Peak, it would be illogical.
After all, increasing ten thousand fivefold to fifty thousand is not on the same level as increasing one million fivefold to five million; let alone multiplying that by twentyfold.
The X-Gene is currently still having an amplifying effect, thanks entirely to the tens of thousands of reverse enhancements from Krypton cells. Otherwise, even a 100% increase would be difficult to guarantee.
Just as Clarice finished her report, the old butler slowly entered, bowing his head and saying, "Young Master, the private jet is ready and can depart for Britain at any time."
Chen Xiao nodded. "Okay, notify the crew to take off this evening."
The distance from Mexico to the Britain is over 8,000 kilometers, and commercial flights typically take more than ten hours; with the time difference added in, one can depart in the evening and land the next morning.
As for not choosing the faster route? Naturally, he wasn't in a hurry, giving the other side a chance to catch their breath, allowing them to slowly savor the approaching fear.
"Yes, young master."
"Darling! Wait, I'm going too!"
A cheerful shout rang out, and a crimson figure burst in—it was Yidileisi.
Today, she was still wearing a sharply tailored black suit with a white shirt underneath, the collar adorned with lace trim; her chest was proudly erect, exuding a captivating charm amidst her capable demeanor.
Coupled with her breathtakingly beautiful face, flowing crimson hair like flames, and Xiaohong horns peeking out from under her headband, she was the epitome of a bewitching queen who had descended on fire.
" Yidileisi, aren't you in Kedala State?" Chen Xiao looked at her with slight surprise.
She gracefully sat down beside Clarice, her eyes sparkling. "The housekeeper told me that Darling is going to accompany Clarice on a vacation to Britain, so I immediately booked the earliest flight back."
Chen Xiao shook his head. "This trip is ostensibly a vacation, but there's another important matter at hand."
Her smile remained, but her eyes suddenly turned cold. "I know. That's why I must follow you. Those who dared to plot against Darling back then, not a single one of them can live."
As the last word faded, a faint bloodlust flickered in her eyes, her killing intent as sharp as a knife.
The black-haired girl nodded slightly. "You're right. Not a single one can be left alive."
After the battle of Qigela City, Yidileisi and the others already knew that behind that storm stood the shadow of the Britain's government.
If Chen Xiao hadn't stopped them, she would have already infiltrated London alone and wiped out the entire decision-making body of Britain.
For Yidileisi, who had been tortured and repeatedly abused in the laboratory, anyone who dared to harm her deserved to die; and anyone who coveted Chen Xiao was courting death.
Chen Xiao paused for a moment, then said, "It's not impossible for you to travel together, but remember, never underestimate our enemy. Even though you now possess multiple abilities..."
In the six months since they integrated with the Cosmic Energy absorption factor, the two women's physical strength, tissue density, and life resilience have all increased more than tenfold.
This progress is indeed like comparing heaven and earth compared to Chen Xiao; but the most crucial point is that their gene carrying capacity threshold has been greatly improved.
Subsequently, three new capabilities were integrated.
Furthermore, with the added benefit of the energy absorption mechanism, their bodies surge with immense and powerful energy, resulting in a leap in the power and intensity of their various extraordinary abilities.
Overall combat strength has increased by dozens of times compared to before.
However, Clarice's main focus is on control and support, and in terms of pure destructive power, she is ultimately no match for Yidileisi specializes in extreme combat.
Yidileisi said firmly, a confident smile playing on her lips, "Don't worry, darling, we will never hold you back."
Clarice simply blinked, her gaze calm yet lively.
Subsequently, Chen Xiao set up a spatial barrier, cutting and folding the area where the entire underground research institute was located, completely sealing it into the third layer of deep space.
On the surface, the research institute still stands quietly in the same place; but even if Shadowcat could transform into a molecular-level form and pass through the wall, it would be difficult to touch it even slightly.
This ingenious application of spatial laws is the core result of his recent dedicated research.
Leveraging his comprehensive mastery of space, his understanding of dimensional structure and the Origin the world also progressed rapidly in a short period of time.
As evening fell, a silver-gray private jet steadily ascended over Pochut City, heading straight for London, the capital of the Britain.
As the plane gradually disappeared into the horizon, several people in the airport tensed up and quickly pulled out their phones to make calls.
In no time, the news that " Superman Vitas has left the country to attend a film screening" had spread like wildfire.
In London, top Britain officials convened urgently. The air in the meeting room was heavy, and everyone wore solemn expressions.
Because that person came.
There are no secrets that cannot be kept. Long before Hellfire eliminated the wealthy man who had purchased Chen Xiao's gene sample at a high price and followed the trail to the Lupton Laboratory, Britain had already realized that the plan had been exposed.
For more than a month afterward, they were on high alert, guarding against the formidable enemy, fearing that the incredibly powerful Superman Vitas might suddenly launch an attack and retaliate with overwhelming force.
Only after seeing that he remained stationed at the research institute day after day without making any unusual moves did the Prime Minister and a group of high-ranking officials finally emerge from the underground nuclear bunker and return to their offices on the surface.
But what's meant to happen will happen. Six months later, he still came.
"This is his basic file from nine months ago, when he first Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters."
Data shows that at that time, his physical fitness was only about three times that of an average person, and his ability was ' Energy Berserk,' which could temporarily increase his strength by five to ten times.
"But just over two weeks later, in the battle where the X-Men destroyed Chris Research Institute in Coro City, Mexico, their power had increased dozens of times."
"Then, in the battle of Alcatraz just over ten days later, he broke through his limitations once again, and his combat power increased more than a hundredfold."
The night was deep. In the conference room, more than ten figures sat on both sides, with different skin colors, including white, black and Asia faces, and a wide age range.
At the head of the table sat the Secretary General of the Knights of Divine Punishment, a middle-aged man with a demeanor similar to Nick's, who was adjusting the content projected onto the wall with a solemn expression.
Since suspecting that Lupton Laboratory had been exposed, Britain has poured a lot of resources into piecing together Superman 'Vitas complete resume from multiple sources.
This included all his records from his time at the Mutants Academy. It was while sorting through these materials that they uncovered a chilling truth:
"Shortly after the battle on Alcatraz, a large-scale riot broke out in the Pochut City. He fought a colossal beast alone, and the power he displayed was even more terrifying."
"More than a month later, he appeared in Old Bridge, Mexico State, and confronted 'God' head-on."
"In the subsequent battle that destroyed Qigela City, its performance was even stronger. With each attack, its combat power increased dozens of times, as if there were no bottlenecks, and it continued to rise rapidly."
"This is a special analysis report from the intelligence department on the evolution of his personal combat capabilities. Please take a look."
Before he finished speaking, a clear image of Chen Xiao appeared on the wall, with key indicators such as strength, speed, defense, known abilities, and combat preferences listed beside him.
The data framework is largely consistent with Hellfire's earlier projections, the difference being that each value is labeled with its corresponding time point and plotted as a continuously steeply rising curve.
Starting with a punch that could release 300 kilograms, within three or four months, it surged to the point where a single strike could release the equivalent of 100,000 tons of TNT.
The speed also increased dramatically, from the ordinary level of "ten meters per second" in the eyes of ordinary people to "more than three thousand meters per second", which is ten times the speed of sound.
There are no fools in this world, and the intelligence resources that a mature and powerful nation can leverage when operating at full capacity are astonishing.
Based solely on wreckage and ruin survey data from several battles, as well as interviews with surviving civilians, they were able to almost reconstruct Chen Xiao's ability map.
Although it omits yet-to-be-revealed trump cards such as Telekinesis, the main structure is almost identical.
When the Divine Punishment Knights saw with their own eyes words like "single punch of 100,000 tons of TNT", "ten times the speed of supersonic movement", "undamaged resistance to small nuclear explosions", "incredible physical strength", and "continuous evolution of power amplification ability", the entire audience gasped in astonishment.
A Black motorcyclist exclaimed in a low voice, "One punch equals 100,000 tons? That's like a nuclear explosion with every casual strike! How are we supposed to fight like that?"
The young knight beside him shook his head and interrupted, "The scariest thing isn't the attack... it's the defense. He was completely unharmed from the epicenter of that level of explosion."
"How can we break through that kind of physical strength? If we smashed him with our bare hands, we probably wouldn't even scratch a layer of his skin."
"We might fight for ages and he won't budge; but one casual punch from him and we'll all be dead."
Someone stood up and suggested, "Commander, why don't we just admit defeat? This battle is hopeless."
Another person chimed in, "That's right, whoever caused the trouble should take the blame. This has absolutely nothing to do with us."
Previously, only the Secretary General, Dr. Ludoston, and a few other senior Britain officials knew who had instigated the Superman Vitas.
As for Captain Britain and the other Divine Punishment Knights present, they were kept in the dark the whole time.
Now they're suddenly being told that a world-destroying powerhouse is about to descend upon their territory, and they're being asked to step forward and stop him? Isn't this forcing them to their deaths?
Moreover, this terrifying data is frozen six months ago. Given that person's unbelievable growth rate, no one dares to guess just how strong he has become now.
Looking at the restless and arguing crowd in the room, the secretary-general, who was just an ordinary person, shook his head with a wry smile and slowly shifted his gaze to the handsome blond young man beside him.
