Perhaps this kind of enhancement has its limits, fifty times? Or even a hundred times?
Darling! I love you to death!
As Chen Xiao was deep in thought, an excited Yidileisi suddenly pounced on him.
He raised his hand and firmly pressed it against her forehead, saying helplessly, "Stop thinking anything funny, I'm leaving."
Night was falling.
Inside the machine shop, Chen Xiao slowly stretched his muscles and bones, his joints rubbing against the metal components of his battle suit, producing a crisp rattling sound.
He was wearing a heavy and magnificent black battle suit, the overall silhouette of which borrowed from the classic structure of the Virgo God Cloth, but with extensive reconstruction in the details:
The surface features more delicate and intricate embossed patterns; the face is covered with a matte black mask, with crimson Crystal inlaid at the eye positions; the gold ring at the back of the neck has been replaced with a dynamic black flame design;
The tufts of pointed horns on its head have been reshaped into a crown; the pair of black wings behind it have been completely transformed into realistic wing shapes, with hanging metal ribbons that resemble both flowing feathers and a solemn cape.
At this moment, Chen Xiao was like a demon god who had broken through the void, his body exuding a suffocating pressure that seemed to freeze the air itself.
Yidileisi stared at him, stunned. Although his battle suit had been adjusted and some details slightly modified, its overall silhouette was remarkably similar to the Silver Pegasus Cloth. A glint flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but blurt out, "Darling, how come your battle suit is so much more dazzling than mine?"
Chen Xiao glanced down at his own battle suit, his voice low and resolute. "Because your current strength is not enough to support the Dark Suit."
"Huh?!" Yidileisi was startled, her pupils shrinking slightly.
He spoke slowly, "I plan to build a ' Dark Twelve Houses ' team of top Mutants in the future, a brand new Saint Seiya system with strength as the threshold and battle suits as the rank."
The strongest among them are called ' Dark God Warrior '; while the most basic tier is the ' Silver Saint '.
While DC Comics exists in this world, concepts like " Gold Saint " or " Dragon Ball " have never been created.
Before Chen Xiao could finish speaking, Yidileisi's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Darling, I want to join the team!"
He remained unmoved. "You already are, but for now, your rank is temporarily set at Silver. Once your strength reaches the required level, you will naturally be able to don the Dark Battle Suit."
"I will definitely do it!" She nodded vigorously, her eyes burning with fighting spirit.
In fact, in terms of combat strength alone, Yidileisi is indeed comparable to Silver Saint.
Although she lacks Cosmo, she can still unleash supersonic mobility and offensive and defensive capabilities.
As for Chen Xiao himself, his current strength is slightly inferior to that of Gold Saint. After all, according to the setting, a Gold Saint can already fight at the speed of light.
(Although this premise itself is rather far-fetched.)
The difference between the two warriors' armor was vast, mainly due to the tight schedule: Chen Xiao only had time to devote all his energy to creating a near-perfect black gold-level armor.
The rest of the people had to make do with the next level of silver combat suits for the time being.
At this moment, Chen Xiao had a long sword weighing over a ton slung across his back. The sword's shape had been re-carved, and its entire body had been tempered into a pure black color.
Yidileisi also carried a gleaming silver longsword on her back, the blade forged from an aerospace-grade alloy.
Although not as sharp as her weapon inlaid with Adamantium, it was still incredibly sharp and menacing under the Blade's Power.
"Set off."
He reached out and put his arm around her waist. With a slight thought, his Bio-Force Field within his body suddenly vibrated, causing the air within several meters to distort and vaporize.
Before long, the two figures disappeared silently, like ripples on water.
boom!
Without warning, the ground trembled violently, a sonic boom tore through the sky, and a blurry, dark afterimage shot straight into the heavens!
After repeatedly adjusting the Bio-Force Field over the past few days, Chen Xiao has been able to precisely disturb water molecules in the air, achieving physical invisibility.
However, the current effect is not stable: when stationary, it is almost completely invisible; once it moves, a semi-transparent outline will appear, or even briefly become visible.
But for him, that was enough.
Ten thousand meters above the ground, Chen Xiao held Yidileisi tightly as they sped through the air at a speed of over three hundred meters per second, heading straight for the Sentry Laboratory four thousand kilometers away.
As his grip strength surpassed the 10,000-ton mark, his overall combat power continued to rise, his Heat Vision became more intense, his Bio-Force Field became more solid, and his flight speed became increasingly astonishing.
Deep in the America Mountains of Wisconsin, just tens of kilometers from the nearest town, lies a little-known military base.
Built against the mountain, it is half exposed on the ground and half deeply embedded in the rock strata.
The outer perimeter is densely covered with more than ten barracks, several five-story command buildings, as well as anti-aircraft missile launchers, radar arrays, and hardened bunkers that are tightly concealed by special camouflage netting.
From a distance, it resembles a fortress forged from steel.
Even in the dead of night, the base remained heavily guarded: patrols with guns moved back and forth incessantly; searchlights pierced the darkness like sharp blades, illuminating every detail within a hundred meters of the camp, making it impossible for anyone to approach silently.
Deep within the mountainside, a massive, brightly lit research institute operates quietly. White-coated lab coats move swiftly through its walls.
From deep within, the mournful cries of a mutant boy could be faintly heard.
" Mars, increase the current! We must push the X-Gene activity to its limit!"
"Only the X-Factor extracted in this way can be instantly activated after being implanted into the Sentry Core. Otherwise, the activation delay renders it useless!"
On the third floor of the research institute, a brutal experiment is underway in the X-Factor stripping laboratory.
Inside a sealed room separated by bulletproof glass, a mutant boy of about ten years old was firmly fixed to a metal frame, with his limbs, head, chest, and legs wrapped with conductive electrodes.
Waves of high-voltage current poured in, causing the boy to convulse and scream in agony.
A gruesome gash was ripped open on his chest, with dozens of thin metal tubes, as fine as hair, inserted along its edges and deeply embedded in his flesh.
As his wails intensified, the X-Gene within his body became violently agitated, and energy fluctuations surged like a tide.
Inside the catheter, countless tiny specks of light were rapidly drawn away from the tube wall and disappeared without a trace.
Everywhere in the laboratory was operating at high speed: some were testing the materials for the Sentry armor, others were optimizing the core reactor...
On the first floor of the research institute, Trask, a middle-aged man who had appeared in the battle of Alcatraz, was sitting behind his desk reviewing the latest progress report, his face gloomy.
That battle shattered his beliefs; the " Mutants Ultimate Nullifier," which he had painstakingly built over decades, proved utterly ineffective against his opponent.
Especially the earth-shattering power that Qin unleashed at the end sent chills down his spine and made his fingertips tremble...
Then came ecstasy.
If he could seize her genes, mass-produce them, and implant them into the Sentry system, he would become a true god who reigns supreme over all living beings.
Upon returning to the America, he immediately pressured the authorities, demanding that they obtain the Mutants's genetic sample at all costs.
At the same time, he devoted himself to research day and night, striving to enhance the Sentry Core's carrying capacity.
Otherwise, even if you obtain the other party's genetic map, you will not be able to reliably replicate their abilities.
"It's almost done. The current core can barely support the simulation of Level Four Mutants and Beta-level abilities."
"Once the genetic analysis of more than ten Alpha-level Mutants is completed, the core database will be able to achieve a leap forward."
"By then, not only will they be able to instantly replicate Level Four abilities, but they might even be able to directly confront Alpha-level Mutants..."
"If a single Sentry can't suppress them, then use numerical superiority to overwhelm them with a mass attack, and then extract the loot-level genetic material for continuous iterative evolution."
Trask was extremely pleased with this progress.
After all, prior to the Alcatraz campaign, the Sentry Core could only deal with Level Three Mutants;
The data captured in that battle, combined with the X-Factor recently extracted from more than twenty Mutants, has finally allowed the core performance to reach a new level.
Although Chen Xiao destroyed all the Sentry that day, he was unaware that the core of each Sentry was always connected to the network.
Once a Mutants is killed and their genetic information Plunder, the system will automatically analyze it and transmit the data back to the Sentry Core AI at the research institute in real time.
Just as Trask was engrossed in imagining the future: developing the ultimate weapon capable of killing Alpha-level Mutants and making global headlines,
Near Gideon, Chen Xiao and Yidileisi quietly landed on the hillside.
Looking at the brightly lit Gideon in the darkness, Yidileisi's heart tightened, and she instinctively tensed up. "Darling! Is this the place?"
Chen Xiao nodded slightly. "Okay. I'll cut the main fiber optic cable to Gideon first. You're in charge of deploying this thing around the base and pressing the launch button on the outer casing."
Before he finished speaking, to Yidileisi's astonishment, he retrieved five fist-sized metal spheres from thin air.
This is an upgraded version of the device he modified from a commercial signal jammer over the past few days; it can completely block all wireless communications within a two-kilometer radius.
Seeing her staring blankly at the spot where he had just retrieved the item, Chen Xiao said helplessly, "Stop thinking about it, it's a spatial storage ability."
"Darling! You have spatial abilities too?" Yidileisi blurted out, her face full of astonishment.
"You've known I have many abilities for a long time, so what's so surprising about it?" Chen Xiao said calmly.
His publicly displayed abilities include flight, thermal rays, physical enhancement, energy bursts, and mental scanning—a multitude that leaves one breathless.
"Not surprising?" Yidileisi paused, taken aback.
Ordinary Mutants typically possess only one ability, such as Cyclops, Wolverine, and Colossus.
People like her, who possess all three abilities, are extremely rare.
That was only after undergoing several rounds of brutal human experiments, and was forcibly awakened under unexpected stimulation.
Seeing that she was still somewhat dazed, Chen Xiao said calmly, " Yidileisi, people's talents are different, and Mutants are no exception."
She instinctively pressed, "For example?"
"For example, I once slid in and broke a tiger's neck in a fit of rage; I also once stood motionless under the scorching sun for an entire day in a fit of fury."
"..." Yidileisi rolled her eyes.
Chen Xiao smiled, then his smile vanished. His mask popped out silently, and his voice came through the synthesizer. "Operation begins."
"Understood, darling!" she replied solemnly, grabbed five jammers, and vanished into the distance at the end of the hillside.
