The moment the command was confirmed, the Origin value on the attribute panel jumped to 5, and an overwhelming and irresistible power suddenly descended.
Buzz!
The dark red Aether suddenly blazed brightly, unleashing an indescribable, Berserk pressure as they struggled violently.
As the crimson light surged, the entire sealed space trembled violently, the suppressing runes covering the surrounding rock walls crumbled inch by inch, and the mountain began to collapse.
However, under the absolute suppression of the system's rules, the Reality Stone's resistance was meaningless, and it was ultimately forcibly refined into a pool of pure crimson liquid energy.
At the same time, two options appeared in Chen Xiao's field of vision:
Golden Superman Path | Silver Superman Path
After a brief deliberation, he chose the latter.
Golden Superman, also known as Superman-Prime, is indeed terrifying. He can Oblivion multiple universes with a single blow, and reversing cause and effect and creating things out of thin air are all within his grasp.
But Chen Xiao has a higher opinion of Superman from the Silver Age.
That First Stage has an extremely low ceiling; when weak, one can even be injured by an ordinary steel-core bullet. But once one reaches the top, one can crush the universe with one's bare hands, ignore time paradoxes, and be self-consistent with logic.
Most importantly, the essence of the Silver Superman is driven by idealism, and his potential is almost limitless. This point is crucial.
Of course, his ascension to the Silver Path was not a fresh start, nor did he become that weak, newborn Superman again;
Instead, it starts from the existing foundation and continuously elevates and expands the ceiling of current combat power.
As the confirmation landed, the pure crimson stream, guided by the system, slowly seeped into his flesh and bones.
Click!
Just as the last bit of energy merged into his body, it seemed as if some kind of constraint within Chen Xiao's body shattered with a deafening roar.
The previously stagnant evolutionary process suddenly accelerated, surging forward like a thawing torrent.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The power of destruction and rebirth exploded within his body one after another, and trillions of cells remodeled at an alarming speed, shrinking, compressing, and densifying, with their strength increasing steadily.
Even more astonishingly, under the influence of the Reality Stone, the X-Gene within him also loosened simultaneously, its shackles broke down, and it broke through its original limits along with the Krypton gene.
Time passed silently...
squeak!
The screeching sound of brakes shattered the silence as a convoy of cars pulled up outside an abandoned factory. One by one, the car doors opened, and a large group of agents and bodyguards in black suits filed out.
Two guards quickly stepped forward and opened the door of the middle extended van.
The Britain Prime Minister, Agatha, Wanda, and others disembarked in turn.
Looking at the overgrown, rusty old factory area before him, the intelligence chief lowered his voice and said, "According to the latest tracking, they haven't shown themselves since they entered."
Although Chen Xiao's strength was terrifying, and no one dared to approach him, his every move since arriving in London had been under close surveillance, including his entire route around the city.
The Britain Prime Minister turned to Agatha, his tone earnest. "Ms. Agatha, I'm counting on you now."
"We are deeply saddened by the Queen's 'unexpected' passing. However, the incident occurred on our side, and we were in the wrong from the start. As long as his requests are not excessive, we are willing to accept them."
Agatha nodded gently. "I will try my best to communicate with him."
"Thank you. There's still a lot of cleanup work at the Prime Minister's Office, including compensation for thousands of casualties, preparations for a press conference... I have to go ahead."
"I'll keep all these agents. Give me your orders anytime you need."
"Can."
She didn't suspect anything. After all, it was quite normal for the Prime Minister to be so busy with official duties.
Unbeknownst to her, the Prime Minister's insistence on leaving stemmed from his fear that if the Mutants lost control and attacked her on the spot, he might be caught in the crossfire.
After most of the guards remained in place, the Britain Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Intelligence boarded two armored vehicles and sped back.
After driving quite a distance, the intelligence minister tentatively asked in a low voice, "Prime Minister, do you think... Ms. Agatha Christie can really control Superman Vitas?"
Why suppress it?
The Britain Prime Minister looked at the other party with slight surprise. "Our goal has always been clear: to ask her to mediate and convey our sincerity."
"Ah?"
The intelligence chief was taken aback. He had always thought that the purpose of this trip was to use this ancient magician to deter Superman Vitas, and even if they couldn't win, they could at least keep him in check.
The Britain Prime Minister said calmly, " Meilaisi, you must understand, this is London. If war breaks out, regardless of the outcome, we will be the biggest losers."
"I've come here specifically to ask Ms. Agatha Christie to intervene, and my core request is simple: to get her to contact Superman Vitas and agree to all his conditions."
"Whatever compensation he demands, we will grant it, but the only condition is that he must leave London immediately. Otherwise, our safety will be completely jeopardized."
"All other matters will be discussed after he leaves."
He paused, then added meaningfully:
"As for why it has to be her... it's because of her status."
"As a formal mage of the Secret Alliance, her appearance means that all the top experts who have always lived in seclusion are already aware of the situation. Naturally, influential figures will step in to mediate."
"If no one seeks an explanation from Superman Vitas afterward, then the resource transfer from Britain to the Secret Alliance will have to be stopped."
At this point, the Britain Prime Minister's eyes flickered slightly. "Moreover, the passing of the Queen and members of the Royal Family may not necessarily be a bad thing for us; at least the invisible shackles hanging over our heads have finally been removed."
Although the Queen has long since lost real power over the past few decades, as long as she remains in that symbolic position, many key matters still require her approval.
For example, the communication and cooperation with that ancient and deeply rooted Secret Alliance is personally overseen by the Queen herself.
Now that she's gone, the decision-making power of the entire Britain has truly fallen into the hands of the Prime Minister, and along with the deeply entrenched powerful families behind him, there are no longer any obstacles.
Agatha and Wanda were completely unaware of these details. The two passed through the rusty iron gate and stepped into the abandoned factory.
Just as they stepped over the threshold and approached the main building, a crimson figure suddenly appeared. Yidileisi stood before them, her gaze icy, coldly staring at the two. "Stop. This place is off-limits."
She didn't know Agatha and Wanda, but the instincts honed by years of fighting made her instantly realize that these two were extremely unusual and posed a very high risk.
Therefore, they did not act rashly.
Otherwise, given her consistent style, she should have already wielded her sword and beheaded him without leaving a single survivor.
Without Chen Xiao's restraint, Yidileisi's killing intent was already intense. Even though Chen Xiao had said that there was no need for guards, she would never allow any outsider to approach the core of the seal.
Agatha nodded slightly and said calmly, "Hello, I am Agatha. I have been sent by the Prime Minister of Britain to discuss the aftermath with Mr. Vitas."
" Britain?"
Yidileisi crossed her arms and said in a distant tone, "The master is currently preoccupied with important matters and will not see guests at this time."
"No visitors for now?" Agatha paused briefly, her gaze subtly drifting deeper into the factory, her mental energy quietly spreading out...
Clang!
A sudden clash of blades rang out!
Yidileisi drew her longsword, its cold gleam piercing the air, her eyes sharp as blades, aimed directly at Agatha: "What are you investigating?"
Clearly, she had accurately detected that subtle, spreading mental fluctuation.
The sudden surge of chilling murderous intent emanating from her made Agatha and Wanda's hearts tighten. Before the gleaming Blade even touched them, it was as if an invisible sharpness was cutting through the air, sending chills down their spines.
The slightest mistake could have made this their final resting place.
Often, the difference between strength and weakness lies not in outward appearances, but in whether abilities can suppress each other, and in the decisiveness and experience gained in a single moment of actual combat.
Agatha's expression softened slightly, and she readily apologized, "My apologies, it was my indiscretion. Since Mr. Vitas is busy, we will simply wait here."
Yidileisi frowned slightly, finally suppressing her surging murderous intent, and said coldly, "Suit yourself."
Wanda gazed at her silently, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She hadn't expected that this unfamiliar Mutants beside Vitas could inspire such apprehension in her.
In the sealed land, Chen Xiao slowly opened his eyes.
The power surging within him was profound and clear, and a flicker of shock appeared in his eyes. "This is the Silver level? No... to be more precise, the initial signs of Silver leap?"
Before he finished speaking, a thought flickered in his mind, and his attribute panel appeared as he examined the changes within himself.
