Chapter 36 / Chapter 37
[Mental energy +1000] [Mental Barrier +1000] [Mental resistance +800] [Awakened: Mental Energy Absorption]
The system he had constructed kept displaying changes in his genetic information, one after another.
Even Professor Charles did not understand what kind of monster he was facing.
Perhaps afterward, he would give the boy's physique a name.
That name would be the "Super Darwin Physique."
Perhaps everyone had heard of Darwin's theory of evolution.
After tens of millions of years of natural evolution, the ancestors of birds developed a pair of wings. They finally escaped their natural enemies on the ground and gained access to more resources in the vast sky.
Su Chen's genes, meanwhile, were transforming at every moment. Under external stimulation, they might need less than half a second to complete an entirely new transformation.
"Oh no!"
Professor Charles panicked at once.
He could feel the mental energy he had sent into Su Chen's head steadily vanishing.
Not only that, but increasingly powerful resistance was emerging within Su Chen's mental domain. Even the Mental Barrier he had just destroyed rose again in an instant, more solid than before.
"My God, what kind of monster is this..."
Professor Charles immediately realized he could not keep attacking like this.
It seemed he was driving Su Chen to evolve a way to counter him.
But when Professor Charles tried to withdraw unscathed, Su Chen's mental domain began devouring wave after wave of mental energy.
"Jean, I need your help..."
Professor Charles cried out.

Chapter 36
At this moment, Professor Charles found himself in an unprecedented predicament.
He had never imagined that Su Chen could apply his ability to absorb and release energy to the professor's mental energy.
The waves of mental power he had sent into Su Chen's mind kept disappearing.
Hah!
With an angry cry from Jean Grey, another immense force of will descended upon Su Chen's mind!
Professor Charles took the opportunity to escape.
Not only that, but the surrounding X-Men had also sprung into action.
Storm gradually rose into the air, her pupils turning white. Soon, the sky around them began to change.
She summoned wind and rain, gathering bolts of lightning within the dark clouds.
Colossus also charged rapidly toward Su Chen.
But the fastest were undoubtedly Quicksilver and Nightcrawler of the X-Men.
Whoosh!
Quicksilver was as fast as lightning. Within his bullet time, everything inexplicably slowed down, as though he were in a domain where time stood still.
A drop of water hung in midair, falling at an almost imperceptible speed.
Colossus, running nearby, seemed even more sluggish, still over ten meters away.
With time flowing at this speed, Quicksilver could be said to be the sole master of this domain.
"Brat..."
He sneered and approached Su Chen without a trace of fear.
Quicksilver abruptly threw a punch, smashing it into Su Chen's back.
With time accelerated, the force of his blow naturally increased.
"Huh?"
But when the punch landed, the tall, lean figure before him did not budge in the slightest.
Damn!
Only then did Quicksilver remember that Su Chen's body had been tempered by a nuclear blast.
His expression turned somewhat awkward.
Then an idea struck him: his opponent's body had to have a weak point.
"His eyes."
Quicksilver gave a wicked grin. He refused to believe Su Chen could remain unscathed if he thrust both hands into his eyes.
Just as he circled around to Su Chen's front, a sudden sense of alarm surged in his mind.
Quicksilver's scalp tingled. Su Chen's eyes were looking at him, their gaze tracking his every movement.
Oh no!
He actually reacted!
An instinct for survival honed through years of combat forced Quicksilver to start running at once.
By the time he appeared over a hundred meters away, the domain of bullet time had ended.
Quicksilver returned empty-handed, drenched in cold sweat.
After time returned to normal, Nightcrawler appeared behind Su Chen, having traveled through space.
Whoosh!
His barbed tail traced a sudden arc through the air, thrusting toward the back of Su Chen's neck.
"One after another. Don't you ever get tired of this..."
Su Chen sneered.
He had awakened a way to counter enemies who traveled through space. His faintly glowing eyes could see distortions, folds, and even gaps in the structure of space. Anyone who dared to travel through space in front of him was courting death.
As if he possessed godlike foresight, Su Chen had already turned around. With perfect timing, he seized the barbed tail stabbing toward him.
"Oh no!"
Nightcrawler was shocked. He had never imagined Su Chen's reaction would be so fast, as though he had already foreseen his every move.
Run!!
In his panic, he tried to activate his ability.
Unfortunately for him, the force pulling on his tail dragged him all the way back out of the spatial ripples.
"Die."
Su Chen clenched his other hand into a fist and punched the pitch-black Nightcrawler before him.
Surging power filled his fist. As he swung, it tore through the air with a sonic boom.
"No!!"
Cries of alarm rang out all around them.
Bang!!
But at such close range, Nightcrawler had nowhere to dodge. Su Chen's fist struck him head-on, and with a boom, more than half his fragile body exploded into a cloud of bloody mist.
The power of that punch was simply too great.
It surpassed everyone's imagination.
Nightcrawler lost half his body to that single punch and collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
"Bastard!!"
Colossus charged at him like a train traveling at full speed.
His entire body was cast in alloy steel. Muscular and as imposing as an iron tower, he served as the X-Men's source of physical power and their shield.
Roaring, his reddened eyes fixed on Su Chen, he charged at him with his giant arms wrapped around his body.
"You think you can stop me?"
To keep his younger sister Su Shan from getting caught in the attack, Su Chen stepped forward and held out his right hand to block.
Bang!!
With just one arm, he brought the charging Colossus to a dead stop. Su Chen himself did not take so much as a step back.
He had subdued even the raging Hulk.
What could Colossus possibly do to him?
Boom!!
At that moment, the lightning long brewing in the dark clouds overhead finally began to strike.
Brilliant columns of lightning fell from the sky one after another, striking at Su Chen under Storm's direction. To avoid hitting her own people, she also sent a terrifying gale and downpour sweeping toward his body.
Hah!!
Phoenix, Jean Grey, was also enraged. With Nightcrawler's tragic death, she could no longer restrain the power within her.
A terrifying force, infused with the Phoenix Force, descended upon Su Chen.
"We must get him under control."
Professor Charles, seated in his wheelchair, flew into a rage. He felt he had miscalculated: he had indeed underestimated his opponent. If he had been using Cerebro, he would never have been forced onto the defensive like this.
But in any case, to control the boy whose murderous intent had surged, he used his mental energy once more in a desperate gamble, attempting to seize complete control of Su Chen's body.
For a moment.
As the X-Men attacked him with all their might, Su Chen held his sister Su Shan tightly. Amid such overwhelming forces, he was terrified she would be caught in the crossfire, and an invisible wave of Telekinesis formed a barrier around them.
But when the Phoenix's will descended, harming everything indiscriminately, Su Shan's face went pale.
"Brother..."
At the sight of this, Su Chen could no longer suppress his anger. As his fury spiraled out of control, he unleashed the mysterious power to alter reality.
"Die!"

Chapter 37
"Die!"
In his fury, Su Chen directly unleashed the power of Reality Warping.
Hum!!
A mysterious and uncanny power began to interfere with reality.
