Although he has mastered Telekinesis, the power is still limited because the amount of X-Gene in his body that can carry this ability is still small. He must use his left hand as the only "outlet" to release it.
This outcome was anticipated when he first chose the Mind Power X-Factor.
His insistence on choosing it was not only to unleash his spiritual power, but more importantly, to break free from the shackles of "the will cannot disturb reality".
" Berserk energy is still energy at its core. As long as the corresponding gene sequences are precisely controlled, turning loss of control into control is not difficult..."
Before the whisper was finished, Chen Xiao's figure had already vanished into the research room like mist.
In the early morning, dark clouds hung low over Pochut City, the air was stuffy and humid, and a torrential downpour was brewing.
Lately, the city seems to be entangled in the rainy season, with overcast skies and continuous drizzle all day long.
At the entrance to the underground research institute, Yidileisi, in a flowing red dress and fiery red hair, shone brightly against the gray sky, exuding a captivating and intense charm.
She had just returned from out of town and hadn't seen Chen Xiao for a whole month. She specially waited for him at the exit because she knew that he would come out to bask in the sun every day.
Just then, the elevator indicator light suddenly lit up.
Under the girl's slightly excited gaze, the sedan chair came to a smooth stop on the first floor, and the door slowly slid open.
But the moment the door slammed open and Chen Xiao's figure came into view, Yidileisi froze, her body instinctively screaming: Danger! Retreat! Run!
It was as if what stood before them was not a person, but an abyss that devoured everything; whoever got too close would be instantly pulverized.
" Yidileisi, is there something you need?" Chen Xiao's voice was gentle, yet it was like a cold spring, pulling her back to reality.
"Ah... no, no." She shook her head instinctively.
"Are you really alright?"
Chen Xiao glanced at her with a hint of doubt, then nodded. "I'm about to try something new, we'll talk about it later."
Before he finished speaking, the earth trembled violently, and his figure transformed into a black line that shot straight into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he shrank into a speck of ink, pierced through the thick clouds, and vanished without a trace.
After gazing at the sky for a long time, Yidileisi suddenly gasped for breath, her face drained of color, her voice trembling. " Vitas... he's... terrifyingly strong!"
So shocked was he that he forgot to utter the usual affectionate word "darling".
A month ago, Chen Xiao had already brought her overwhelming pressure; but just now, in that instant, she felt utter despair, without warning, yet it terrified her.
He didn't even release a trace of his aura.
But the body moves faster than the brain: Chen Xiao now is dangerous, deadly, and unapproachable.
At an altitude of 30,000 meters, sunlight poured down like gold. Chen Xiao stood suspended in the void, arms outstretched, eyes closed in stillness.
Within his body, a powerful spiritual force, like a living thing, penetrated every X-Gene chain, forcibly distorting the laws of reality and reshaping the minute cellular structure inch by inch.
He didn't know how much time had passed when he suddenly opened his eyes.
boom!
The Berserk energy within his body erupted with a roar, and transparent waves of air spiraled upwards, carrying with them a pressure that could crush space and suppress heaven and earth, soaring into the sky.
This immense force was so great that it forcefully dispersed the howling stratospheric winds within a few hundred meters, creating a heavy, lifeless, windless vacuum.
Its mere aura is so intimidating; one can only imagine its true combat power.
But Chen Xiao's activation of this power was by no means a show.
With a slight thought, the surging, boiling energy flow paused abruptly, then gradually converged into his right palm.
On the palm of his hand, a golden ray of light began to bloom, gradually solidifying into a sphere.
The energy gathered and became denser, and the golden light grew brighter and brighter, until it became as blazing as a miniature star suspended in the sky, completely engulfing the brilliance of the sun overhead.
The sphere of light was so solid that the surrounding space began to wrinkle and tremble slightly.
Suddenly, Chen Xiao lowered his wrist and threw the light sphere, which had reached its critical point, towards the ground.
A beam of pure gold descended from the sky, tearing through the clouds within seconds and reaching the top of the churning dark clouds at a speed exceeding several thousand meters per second.
He had another thought, and detonated it.
boom!!!
A blinding light ripped through the sky, and boundless, scorching energy surged forth, like a miniature nuclear bomb exploding in mid-air. In an instant, the world lost its color, and everything turned white.
A deafening roar tore through the sky, leaving the heads of millions of residents of Pochut City buzzing. The glass windows of many skyscrapers shattered, leaving fragments scattered on the ground.
The sudden change caused tens of thousands of people to instinctively look up at the sky.
A blinding golden light cleaved through the thick clouds like a sharp blade, and ripples of intense energy rolled and spread outwards. Wherever it reached, the oppressive black clouds instantly dissipated, as if wiped away by an invisible giant hand.
The blinding light cast a white haze over countless people, causing unbearable stinging pain in their eyes and uncontrollable tears.
Following closely behind was a raging storm that descended from the sky, sweeping across the entire city with the force of thunder. Pedestrians stumbled and fell, vehicles were overturned and spun around, and screams and cries filled the air as panic spread instantly.
In that instant, the word "nuclear explosion" flashed through the minds of many people—cold, destructive, and irreversible.
After an unknown amount of time, the wind gradually weakened, vision slowly returned, and the noise of voices could be heard again. Everyone's mouths were agape, and they couldn't close them for a long time.
Because directly above Pochut City, there was a huge dome-shaped void spanning dozens of miles, with sharp, knife-cut edges and a clear, cloudless interior; while in the distance, the sky remained gloomy and heavy, with dark clouds churning like ink.
Sunlight pierced through a thousand-meter-thick layer of clouds, pouring down in the center of the void, transforming into a magnificent golden pillar that steadily enveloped the entire city, its light warm and solemn.
The stark contrast between light and darkness is as if the gods themselves parted the curtain of the sky, bestowing upon a pure land.
Some people squinted and vaguely saw a figure standing still in the high sky, deep in the golden light, with his clothes fluttering silently, like a supreme being looking down on the mortal world.
"An airburst can cover thirty miles; that's barely enough."
High in the sky, Chen Xiao was surrounded by spiraling air currents, his gaze falling on the crack in the sea of clouds. He felt that the power of the energy sphere from before was just so-so.
On the surface, it appeared to be a terrifying force, with an impact spanning thirty miles, but in reality, its diameter was only about fifteen thousand meters.
Furthermore, it is detonated in the air; if it were detonated upon landing, the effective kill radius would only be a few miles, and the Havok would only extend to a maximum of ten miles away.
But for Chen Xiao, who had just reconstructed the parameters of the X-Gene in his body using telekinesis and completed a leap in ability, this attack was already quite solid.
Now he has added a new long-range clearing method, which is specifically designed to counter the large number of weak and low-strength mobs.
If this tactic had been used when destroying the Sentry Laboratory earlier, the outer military bases could have been wiped out in one strike, without the need for individual kills and repeated raids.
"The use of energy isn't just about throwing it out."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Xiao's Bio-Force Field suddenly expanded, and his powerful will poured in simultaneously. In an instant, a golden shield half a meter square formed in front of him.
The light flowed, thick and solid, exuding an unshakeable texture.
The natural barrier that originally accompanied the energy burst has now deeply merged with the force field, and the defense is no longer superficial, but has actually developed a dual nature of physical resistance and energy resistance.
As for the specific intensity, there is currently no reference point, and Chen Xiao himself finds it difficult to determine.
He paused for a moment, realizing that energy manipulation was far more complex than this and that further refinement was worthwhile.
After days of dedicated study, he finally saw results and felt elated. With a slight thought, his attribute panel quietly appeared:
Host: Chen Xiao [ Vitas Chen ]

Chen Xiao's eyes flickered slightly as he scanned the various data points.
After a month of bathing in sunlight, his body continued to evolve, and his basic strength soared from 13,000 tons to over 72,000 tons.
While the numbers may seem to have increased by only a little over five times, the actual combat power has increased exponentially. It's not just a surge in strength, but also a comprehensive enhancement in speed, torso density, cell activity, and energy reserves.
The combat methods have also been greatly expanded: in addition to transforming by direct energy bursts, they have mastered multiple means such as telekinetic field control, energy projection, and sword aura slashing.
In terms of destructive power alone, Chen Xiao at this moment has already far surpassed General Zod's peak condition in " Man of Steel ".
His rank has even risen from two stars to three stars according to the system, but what standard is this strength classification based on? He's already comparable to some ancient gods in mythology, yet he's still only three stars?
After a moment's thought, Chen Xiao sighed softly, "With my current strength, I am already capable of influencing many situations on this Earth, where powerful individuals abound."
"The exploration of the X-Gene is finally on the right track. The next step is to continue fusing the X-Factor and unlock the power of time and space."
"At that time, the collection of the Infinity Stones can truly begin."
A slight smile played on his lips as his figure vanished into the sky.
During this period, he painstakingly studied X-Gene abilities, not only to expand his combat capabilities, but more fundamentally to pave the way for obtaining the Infinity Stones.
Currently, there are three known Infinity Stones on Earth that have fallen to Earth.
One of them, in the hands of the Ancient One, is the Time Stone;
The Reality Stone, sealed away by Odin within an old church in London;
There's one more, related to space.
Needless to say, taking the Time Stone from the Ancient One is an impossible task.
She is not only proficient in spatial and soul magic, but also able to wield the Time Stone itself, making her a rule-level opponent.
To take the Time Stone from the Ancient One, one must master the power to manipulate time and space; otherwise, there is no way to contend with her.
