Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Blue Level 3
Recently, two major events have occurred. The first significant event was the unveiling of the Iron Man incident, concluding with Tony Stark's declaration, "I am Iron Man." This announcement marked the beginning of the superhero era.
This epochal event was monumental, but another event rivaled its importance, possibly even surpassing it. This major event also involved the white-haired mutant, the terrifying Omega Level mutant. The rising star of journalism, Eddie Brock, wrote in his latest report:
"Recently, an unprecedented terror attack occurred in Harlem. Two monstrous creatures rampaged through the district, wreaking havoc and ignoring the attacks of fully armed military forces, slaughtering civilians indiscriminately.
In this dire crisis, the white-haired mutant emerged. He effortlessly used his terrifying black-red singularity to defeat the two monsters!
However, the white-haired demon lives up to his name. The black-red singularity he unleashed not only defeated a giant monster in an instant but also destroyed numerous buildings, killed hundreds of civilians, and created a colossal trench a kilometer long with the residual shockwave.
His threat level far exceeds that of the two monsters combined!
Moreover, from analyzing the video footage I previously recorded, the white-haired mutant's power is steadily and rapidly increasing.
When he first used the black-red singularity, it was visibly unstable. According to experts' analysis, he was likely severely drained at that time, which is why he spared the military forces besieging him.
But now, when he released the black-red singularity again, its release speed was significantly faster, it was noticeably more stable, and its attack power far exceeded that of the first time!
As you know, Omega mutants possess unlimited potential, and the white-haired mutant's existence vividly demonstrates the terrifying potential of an Omega level mutant.
I boldly speculate that the white-haired mutant's current power is still far from his limit!
As time goes on, he will grow stronger and stronger, potentially reaching a point where he can ignore nuclear weapons!
Once again, I ask the military and the government: How will you deal with the white-haired mutant?
Taxpayers' money shouldn't support incompetence. The military and government need to provide a reasonable response plan!"
In a hidden base, Magneto set down the newspaper, a genuine smile spreading across his face. Mystique, standing nearby, was very curious. Since formulating his plan to destroy humanity and facing repeated setbacks, Erik hadn't genuinely smiled in a long time. So she glanced at the newspaper on the table, guessing that the reason for his smile lay within its pages.
After roughly scanning through the newspaper, Mystique couldn't hide her shock. Even for an Omega level mutant, the white-haired mutant's growth rate was astonishingly rapid.
Magneto, noticing the shock on Mystique's face, adjusted his psychic helmet and smiled at her. "Raven, it seems that without our guidance, new power is still moving in the right direction. Our strength is growing ever stronger!"
At the same time, in a hidden laboratory at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, Professor X put down the newspaper and rubbed his temples. After a moment, he spoke to Jean Grey beside him:
"Jean, we need to try to reach out to him. He's gradually falling into darkness. If left unchecked, his power could cause irreparable damage."
Jean nodded in agreement, but Professor X didn't notice the red gleam in her eyes that wouldn't fade away.
In a luxurious mansion in Los Angeles, the two main subjects of global attention were basking in the sun on the balcony, each attended by a beautiful woman. Fans would recognize these women as two recently popular Hollywood stars. However, in this scene, the usual protagonists were reduced to mere extras without a single line.
"By the way, Alex, before you went to Harlem, you mentioned you had something important to tell me. What was it?" Tony Stark suddenly asked Alex.
Alex, wearing floral shorts, sipping fine wine, and enjoying the company of a blonde woman, stretched lazily before replying, "Your body is having problems, isn't it?"
Tony Stark's expression stiffened, and he forced a smile, "What are you talking about? I'm perfectly fine."
Alex gave a mysterious smile and didn't argue further. He said to Tony Stark, "Just make sure you supply me with an unlimited number of Arc Reactors when I need them, and I'll solve your body's problem."
Tony Stark was taken aback, "That's it?"
Seeing Alex nod, Tony immediately agreed, "Alright, I agree."
Alex swallowed the cherry the blonde woman was about to feed him, and with a soft murmur, he said, "Your current predicament should be palladium poisoning, which is why you've been drinking chlorophyll to alleviate the symptoms. If you continue using the palladium-based Arc Reactor, you will surely die in the near future."
The two shapely blonde women instinctively stopped what they were doing, staring at Tony Stark in shock. The world's richest man, playboy Tony Stark, was going to die?
Seeing Tony instinctively place the chlorophyll drink on the table and cover his chest to hide the issue, Alex teased, "Don't worry. The new element you need is hidden in your home, within the architectural model your father left you. Search carefully; with your intelligence, you will surely find it. Goodbye. Next time we meet, I'll have another piece of important news for you when I collect the Arc Reactor."
Then, to the shock of Tony Stark and the two blonde women, Alex vanished from sight in the blink of an eye.
Tony was momentarily stunned, then he smiled wryly, "That guy, he's gotten even stronger."
At the same time, footsteps echoed from outside. In Tony Stark's annoyed gaze, Nick Fury entered, followed by several black-suited agents carrying a silver case.
Moments later, with Nick Fury watching in astonishment, Tony Stark reclined on his sun chair and mocked, "Are you talking about the new element? I've already found it."
High up in the sky, Alex floated in midair, blood seeping from his mouth. His internal injuries were rapidly healing thanks to the RCT. He muttered helplessly, "Even with Lv3 of the Cursed Technique Lapse 'Blue', I still can't use teleportation consecutively? Even with Lv3 energy absorption, enduring the pressure from consecutive teleportations causes injury. It seems I'll have to wait until 'Blue' reaches Lv4, or until energy absorption reaches Lv4, to use teleportation infinitely."
Just yesterday, by minimizing energy output and constantly practicing 'Blue', it had finally reached Lv3!
[Congratulations, Cursed Technique Lapse 'Blue' has leveled up!]
[Cursed Technique Lapse 'Blue' Lv3 (1/1000): Creates a powerful suction force, making the distance between multiple objects 'negative infinity', forming a small black hole.]
Upon leveling up, Alex's mind was flooded with advanced uses of Cursed Technique Lapse 'Blue': By compressing the distance between the starting point and the destination through powerful gravity, a teleportation-like effect is achieved! So just now, with a single step, he had instantly traveled tens of kilometers.
