Chapter 4 / Chapter 5 ...
Su Chen frowned, his youthful thirteen-year-old face full of anger. He was furious. Why did these guys keep trying to stop him? Why couldn't they just die?
For a moment, his emotions spiraled somewhat out of control.
Before this, the system had classified the changes to reality caused by his hysterical, uncontrolled emotions as [Reality Warping].
It was a truly terrifying power.
"Why can't you just die?"
In his anger, Su Chen unwittingly triggered the power of Reality Warping. In the blink of an eye, the figure before him burst apart at the limbs and head, and even the Adamantium skeleton implanted in his body crumbled into black powder and dispersed into the air.
Chapter 4
[Reality Warping +1] [Reality Warping +5]
After Su Chen used it, his terrifying ability to alter reality immediately grew stronger.
He didn't linger for a moment, continuing to run toward the distant gates of the experimental facility.
Figures came at him one after another to intercept him.
But the facility's security personnel were no match for Su Chen's terrifying telekinetic waves. It was as if they had been struck head-on by an air cannon. In the blink of an eye, every soldier in the corridor was blasted to the ground.
Su Chen's aloof figure leaped over their bodies.
"Damn it, hurry up and send more Weapon X operatives to capture that guy for me."
In the control room of the massive experimental facility, General Marcus had rushed over in a panic and was furious. Although there had been quite a few experimental accidents involving escaping Mutants in the past, this one was far more troublesome.
Yet amid his shock and anger, he also felt a surge of delight.
Watching the running figure on the surveillance footage, General Marcus grew increasingly appreciative of him.
Heavens!!
He had thought he had obtained someone with a supernatural healing ability, an undying being whose healing surpassed even Wolverine's.
To his surprise, the other party had unleashed so many superpowers when he lost control of his emotions.
The invisible telekinesis spreading through the air.
The unknown, terrifying ability that could take another's life with a single cry of shock and anger.
The steel skin strong enough to withstand bullets.
Not only that, but according to the laboratory personnel's analysis, this guy also possessed an extraordinary ability to evolve. In just an instant, his steel skin had transformed again under the Adamantium's stimulus.
The supposedly indestructible Adamantium had actually begun to snap apart.
Heavens!
Such a terrifying being was even more fearsome than Weapon X!
"Make sure you bring him under control! I want him. I must have him..."
General Marcus roared through gritted teeth.
But unlike the exhilarated Marcus, everyone else in the control room was deeply worried.
Every barrier erected along the corridors had been violently demolished.
The security personnel sent after him had been wiped out to the last man.
A Weapon X operative on whom they had pinned great hopes had even spurred the other party's growth.
But soon...
Even more despairing news arrived: the vital signs being tracked for each Weapon X operative had vanished without a trace.
"They're dead! All the Weapon X operatives we just sent are dead."
The control room staff immediately panicked.
Those had been the entire facility's top security forces.
Even more terrifying to them was that a countermeasure capable of easily dealing with Mutants had also failed outright.
"Something's wrong. The X Poison Gas that suppresses Mutant abilities isn't working at all."
In the past, the most effective way to deal with Mutants had been X Poison Gas, which suppressed their X-Gene.
Yet the boy on the surveillance footage wielded his telekinesis with the greatest ease, effortlessly crushing each security officer who came at him to death like a toy.
It was as if he wasn't a Mutant at all, or had rapidly evolved resistance to the poison gas.
In less than a second, he utterly crushed the entire surveillance system as well.
Although they had lost sight of him, the control room staff could still track Su Chen's precise movements through his vital signs. Before long, he would be able to leave the facility altogether.
"This is bad..."
"He suddenly turned around. It looks like... he's coming toward our control room."
Someone cried out in panic.
The tracked vital signs had changed course. Had he lost his way, or was he coming to kill them?
General Marcus's face turned deathly pale.
"Prepare the Black Hawk."
He rose to his feet and headed out of the control room, surrounded by several icy-faced soldiers.
At that moment, he clearly realized that he had played every card he had. He had no effective means of countering the other party.
Damn it.
General Marcus cursed inwardly. After noticing the other party's actions, he immediately realized that this guy was rather vengeful.
So this boy absolutely could not be allowed to live.
"It's a pity to lose such a test subject and the key to immortality, but there's no helping it. Someone I can't control will ultimately become a great enemy in the future. He must be completely eliminated at the earliest stage."
"Activate the self-destruct device."
General Marcus gave the order coldly.
The massive experimental facility standing on the snowy plain was equipped with a nuclear self-destruct device. Once activated, it was powerful enough to erase all evidence of the crimes committed here.
Marcus had no doubts about its power. The nuclear yield alone, detonating at the center, was enough to obliterate any known living being.
"Well then, goodbye."
The figures who emerged from the secret passage boarded the Black Hawk attack helicopter on the rooftop, and the pilot waiting for them flew General Marcus into the sky.
Looking down, they could see a white building standing on the deserted snowy plain. In half a minute, the self-destruct device's countdown would end and it would detonate completely. A brilliant mushroom cloud would rise here, and the surrounding snowfield would collapse entirely.
"Poor little boy. I hear you have a younger sister. I really look forward to seeing what surprises your sister will give me."
General Marcus sneered.
Half a minute later.
The self-destruct device activated, and the experimental building on the snowy plain released a terrifying mass of light. The horrifying waves of destruction swept straight through everything, and the surrounding snowfield was reduced to nothing.
A shocking mushroom cloud rose into the air, displaying the power within it.

Chapter 6
Boom!!
The earth trembled, and under the violent seismic waves, even the surrounding snowfield began to collapse across a vast area.
The power of the nuclear explosion was terrifying. The building standing on the snowfield bore the brunt of it and was completely reduced to a dark cloud. At the sight of the rising mushroom cloud, even the people aboard the distant helicopter inexplicably felt a breathtaking beauty.
"Kid, you dared fight me..."
General Marcus put on his goggles and sneered.
The nuclear yield of the self-destruct device, detonating at the center, was enough to wipe out any being in the world. Even someone with a self-healing ability could not recover from such an instantaneous bombardment.
"It's just a pity about the Mutants I worked so hard to gather."
There were quite a few experimental organizations in the world devoted to studying Mutants. Apart from the renowned General William Stryker, there was General Marcus himself.
"The experimental data couldn't be brought out in time, but the central server's black box was preserved. I don't know whether the 'black box' installed underground can withstand this blast."
General Marcus was somewhat worried.
An aircraft's "black box" existed so that, after a crash, people could find out what had happened to the aircraft and what operational errors the crew in the cockpit had made. It recorded all the data from that time, so the entire black box was highly resistant to impact.
The black box of the massive experimental facility naturally contained samples of all kinds of experimental data that could not be brought to light. It recorded in real time what difficulties the laboratory had encountered that had forced it to activate the self-destruct device.
So the black box was something important for General Marcus to obtain. Otherwise, having set off a nuclear explosion for no apparent reason, he would not have sufficient grounds when he reported back.
And...
He also needed the data in that black box to support his next course of action: capturing Su Chen's sister, who was out of his control, wherever she might be in the world.
"Heh, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame your poor brother for resisting me. This is what happens when you resist me."
General Marcus laughed coldly.
In fact, General Marcus had been wrong about one thing.
Su Chen had suddenly turned back while fleeing instead of heading straight for the facility's gates, not because he wanted revenge on the mastermind in the control room, but because he had suddenly remembered the Mutants imprisoned in the cells.
There were adults and children, men and women, all pitiful people who had been brought here and imprisoned.
He had been imprisoned for over half a month. Although he had never spoken to the people in the other cells, watching them disappear one by one had still struck a chord with him. He thought that they had families of their own too, and surely had loved ones as adorable and precious as his own sister.
Su Chen was suddenly moved to pity.
They're all unfortunate people. I might as well take them with me when I escape...
Remembering how his mother had taught him from childhood to be a good person, Su Chen grew utterly resolute, feeling warm inside at the good deed he was about to do.
As a result of this misunderstanding, General Marcus, believing Su Chen was coming to kill him, had hurriedly activated the self-destruct device.
"It hurts..."
After being completely engulfed by the terrifying energy, Su Chen felt pain in his body's nerves for the first time in a long while.
The skin all over his body gradually broke apart under the nuclear blast's onslaught. At the same time, however, the countless cells in his flesh and blood rejoiced, greedily devouring the terrifying energy surging at him from all sides.
One second, perhaps two...
