Chapter 55

A bizarre ability to convert energy from the outside world at will...

A self-healing speed that made him practically immortal...

Some terrifying power of perception that let him capture the movement trajectory of a spatial ability user at a glance...

And finally.

Once angered, he would disrupt reality, gaining a terrifying power to interfere with and alter the real world.

These were all things Iron Man Tony and Dr. Banner had listed one by one.

But Tony still had a conclusion he couldn't be sure of: Number One Mutants seemed capable of transforming and evolving in response to external stimuli.

He had made a point of telling Mister Fantastic Reed about that as well.

Tony still couldn't forget the punchable look on Reed's face, as if he had understood everything and considered every detail.

"Don't worry. One strike will hit its mark. He won't have a chance to fight back."

Ding!!

Just then, an alarm rang out from every superhero's watch.

"He's here."

"Number One Mutants is attacking. Everyone, be careful."

At that moment.

Even the usually carefree Tony looked grave as he donned his latest Mark Suit.

At that very moment.

At the Triskelion, S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, also located in the capital, satellite equipment in low Earth orbit detected a massive surge of energy within the country.

"He's here!"

The technicians were frantic.

Director Nick Fury looked anxious. He quickly activated the alarm and sent a warning to the people on the front lines.

"This is bad..."

"There's also an extremely strange energy fluctuation in another location, New Jersey. The cause is unknown, and it's even more vast and terrifying than the one in the capital."

What was that?

A trace of panic appeared on Nick Fury's face. New Jersey was part of the western desert region, a world away from the capital on the East Coast. It was unlikely to be the work of Number One Mutants.

Then who else had caused such an enormous fluctuation?

This sudden development only made things more urgent.

"Send a Helicarrier to track it. Our first priority now is dealing with Number One Mutants in the capital."

"Quickly access the local surveillance equipment. I need a live feed."

Under the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s orders.

Soon...

Live images appeared in the air before them as holographic projections.

"My God..."

"This is!!"

Even the battle-hardened Nick Fury was momentarily stunned.

High in the air, the capital's famous, enormous stadium had been uprooted by a terrifying force. Aside from the green soccer field left behind, the entire ring of stands floated in the sky, moving slowly forward amid a wave of Telekinesis.

"That stadium seats eighty thousand people, and he lifted it into the sky."

The sight was truly spectacular.

A dark shadow swept over the city from above. At that moment, every resident of the capital could see the enormous structure floating through the air.

"It's him!!"

"Number One Mutants is here!"

A person's reputation cast a long shadow!

Number One Mutants, who had run wild in this very place not long ago, had returned to attack, immediately causing considerable panic.

Last time, he had walked out of a nuclear explosion.

This time, he had brought a stadium and hurled it down from the sky.

Boom!!!

The massive structure crashed into the earth with terrifying force, sending up an immense cloud of dust.

The entire ring of stands, dozens of meters high, now completely enclosed the courthouse.

For a moment, it was like a prison, completely surrounding the people in the courthouse and cutting them off from the outside.

The protesters and the people making a commotion, meanwhile, were completely shut out by the ring-shaped structure brought from afar.

Chapter 55

Boom!!

Like a circular Great Wall, the stadium stands brought from far away rose in a ring on the capital's soil.

They formed a surrounding wall, completely encircling the courthouse within.

"Oh my God, what is this..."

The moment the entire ring-shaped structure crashed to the ground, a violent blast of air knocked all the onlookers off their feet.

When they stood up, they found their view completely blocked by the stadium structure.

"Holy crap!!"

"Number One Mutants actually brought the stadium here from ten li away."

"That's a little too terrifying."

Everyone was dumbstruck.

Even every viewer in front of a television was completely stunned by the building's sudden arrival.

This wasn't some ordinary little building.

It was an enormous stadium capable of holding a full eighty thousand people. Aside from the field left behind, the entire surrounding structure of stands had been carried through the air and smashed down right here.

Not long ago, everyone had heard that Number One Mutants had walked out of a nuclear explosion.

Now they could witness his terrifying Telekinesis in real time.

"This is bad."

"The whole army can't get in now."

The massive structure standing in the way not only blocked everyone's view, but also kept the S.H.I.E.L.D. Rapid Response Force waiting outside from rushing in immediately.

But...

There was an even more terrifying fact they hadn't noticed in time.

Where was he?

"Look!"

"Up in the sky!"

Following the direction of someone's pointing finger, everyone looked toward a figure suspended in the air, descending at an unhurried pace.

As always, he wore a black hoodie and casual pants. Paired with his handsome, sharply defined face, the outfit was enough for him to play the lead in a school idol drama.

Yet this thirteen-year-old boy bore a terrifying hatred as he descended from the sky, bringing with him a vast, suffocating pressure.

For a moment.

Aware of his terrifying strength, everyone inexplicably fell silent, their breathing quickening as if even the flow of air around them had slowed to a halt.

The noise, the shouting, the revelry, and the protests all fell completely silent under his terrifying presence.

Without anyone realizing it, Su Chen's face had become imposing even without anger. His aura of superiority, the pressure and killing intent that towered above all beings, made people feel inferior in their hearts.

His figure slowly descended from the sky to the ground enclosed by the ring of stands.

"Number One Mutants!"

At that moment.

Roars of suppressed anger rang out from inside the courthouse.

Human Torch of the Fantastic Four rose into the air first, flames blazing all over his body. Several superheroes also emerged on the ground: Thing Ben, Invisible Woman, Mister Fantastic Reed, War Machine, Falcon, Hawkeye...

And even his old acquaintances Iron Man Tony and Hulk, among others.

"This trial is meant to clear your name. Do you really want to go down the wrong path again?"

Someone spoke indignantly.

"Exactly. General Stryker's crimes are more than enough to warrant the death penalty. Trust us..."

"Anyone can turn back from the wrong path. Let go of the hatred in your heart, kid!!"

"You're still young. You could even become a hero. As long as you let go of the resentment in your heart, you can"

Others joined in.

What was this supposed to be?

Su Chen's cold, merciless emotions didn't waver in the slightest. To tell the truth, he almost wanted to laugh.

Not long ago, General Stryker and his men had hunted the ignorant, unsuspecting Su Chen and his younger sister, trying to capture them for some time.

Soon, he was unfortunately captured, shackled and locked up, then transferred at will to another base like a piece of private property.

After that...

Under the threat of dissection, he finally began to awaken and walked out of a terrifying nuclear explosion for the first time.

But his misfortunes weren't over.

He encountered another general, General Ross, who had come to continue hunting him down. After dealing with him, Su Chen was declared a globally wanted criminal, an extremist Mutant.

What a ridiculous state of affairs.

He had merely been resisting, fighting back against their attempts to capture him.

What was wrong with that?

Why was he always the one who got hurt in the end!

Why could they ignore all the facts, slander him so wantonly, and pin every baseless charge on him?

Why did they dare stand on the moral high ground and accuse him so self-righteously?

Clearly, he wasn't the one at fault. The world was.

Yet even now, the people in front of him kept urging him to let go of the hatred in his heart. Were they playing with him?

"When evil hasn't descended upon them, anyone can act the good person with a clear conscience."

At that moment, Su Chen deeply agreed.

He sneered.

A public trial?

Repentance?

Admit he was wrong?

What a joke?
