Chapter 459

Magma could control geological movements, create earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, manipulate lava, and turn her whole body into magma. This was a copycat Akainu.

Firestar could utilize electromagnetic energy and convert it into microwave energy, using different ways to manipulate and utilize these microwave energies to melt objects, create or release flames, and heat energy explosions.

She could also sense microwave signals and use her own microwave energy to interfere with electronic equipment, and could also use microwave energy to disintegrate others' telepathy.

However, she didn't seem to be able to completely immunize herself against her own ability. Using the ability for a long time would cause damage from microwave radiation.

Boom-Boom's ability to create energy explosions was relatively ordinary, but in the comics, she joined the X-Force formed by Cable, belonging to the type of group that was good at confronting enemies in extreme, brutal ways and moving forward bravely to protect the lives of mutants.

Overall, Su Quan was more than satisfied with the gifts prepared by William Stryker.

If—if he hadn't developed inappropriate thoughts about himself, that would have been even better.

Yes, this old guy William Stryker wasn't honest.

The enthusiasm he showed wasn't fake, but this enthusiasm wasn't because of repaying a favor or reminiscing; it was because he wanted to paralyze him and take the opportunity to turn him into a puppet that only obeyed his orders, like Deathstrike.

As for the so-called gifts...

It could only be said that it was a coincidence.

Don't forget, Su Quan had previously had Nightcrawler investigate this place. At that time... these mutants weren't here!

William Stryker didn't know when he would appear at all, so it was impossible to have brought them over in advance so coincidentally. In other words, the so-called gifts had a lot of water in them!

Also, that sentence he said, "You coming to find me is the best gift," did he really think I was too drunk to understand?

This old guy had made up his mind to control him from the moment they met.

Favor?

Hehe—

How could a favor be more important than controlling a powerful mutant like Su Quan!

If it had been more than a decade ago, William Stryker might have repaid the favor or continued to cooperate with Su Quan, but after he extracted the brain fluid that could control others from his son, Jason Stryker, the idea of repaying a favor or cooperating couldn't exist.

He could even treat his own son as a tool, let alone a benefactor.

In the end, his hatred for mutants and his own ambition were far above his conscience!

"They have been injected with a sleeping potion. You pick one to take to the room. They will wake up in about half an hour." William Stryker winked, you know.

"Seven choose one..." Su Quan looked at them and suddenly shook his head with a light laugh: "They are all mine, right?"

"Yes."

"Then there's no rush to choose. Let's try Yuriko Oyama first."

"That, that works too."

William Stryker didn't refuse and even felt a little secretly happy in his heart, because with Yuriko Oyama making a move, the chance of success would be greater!

Speaking of which, he knew Su Quan had telepathy, but he wasn't afraid at all that his little thoughts would be discovered.

With calculation against no calculation, Su Quan couldn't possibly pry into him with psychic ability as soon as they met, right?

Besides, one learns from experience. Since he knew psychic ability was troublesome, how could he not make preparations? He was equipped with devices that could block psychic abilities all year round!

As for Yuriko Oyama?

That was even less to worry about. Her whole body was an Adamantium skeleton, which could naturally block psychic abilities!

A moment is worth a thousand gold, time flows like water.

In the dim room, Su Quan slept soundly with his back to Deathstrike. In the steady breathing, Deathstrike beside him slowly opened her eyes, a flash of sinister light passing through her pupils.

She turned sideways gently, took out the hidden control potion from under the bed, turned around, and stared fixedly at Su Quan's neck with her pitch-black eyes, preparing to complete the mission.

Closer, even closer...

Just as the needle was about to pierce Su Quan, her hand suddenly stopped uncontrollably, trembling and twitching in mid-air.

And her originally calm and cold expression now became ferocious and twisted, as if she were enduring a huge psychological struggle.

"Run... he... he wants to harm you..." Deathstrike gritted her teeth, as if she had used up all her strength, and shouted intermittently to Su Quan.

Unfortunately, the shout was too small.

And after shouting this sentence, Deathstrike returned to calm and accurately and quickly stabbed the control potion toward Su Quan, who had no reaction.

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: Adamantium Steel Claws (Deathstrike)"

Deathstrike pushed the syringe to inject the potion at the first moment, but was surprised to find that she couldn't push it at all!

Push... can't push it in?

How is this possible!!!

Glancing at Su Quan, who hadn't woken up, Deathstrike picked up the syringe and prepared to stab down again, but suddenly discovered that the needle of the syringe was gone.

Looking closer, Deathstrike was dumbfounded.

It wasn't that the needle was gone, but that the needle had been flattened, directly blocking the needle hole of the syringe!

No wonder she couldn't push it in, it turned out the syringe was blocked—my ass!

This was a needle made of Adamantium, how could it be flattened so easily?

"Do you want to try another one?" Su Quan turned around lazily and offered an idea with a smile.

Answering him were sharp, slender steel claws.

"Clang—"

A harsh sound of metal colliding rang out. Deathstrike looked at the steel claws that couldn't advance an inch and paused slightly, then the steel claws of the other hand stabbed at Su Quan's eyes.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound rang out. Su Quan's body didn't move, and he winked his other eye at her with the corners of his mouth raised.

Immediately after, Deathstrike felt like she had been slapped, and her whole body flew out lightly.

"Huh?" Deathstrike, who didn't land after flying out, exclaimed in surprise, examining her illusory self in disbelief.

"I... I've regained consciousness? No, my body..."

Deathstrike looked blankly at "herself" lying on Su Quan, and subconsciously floated in front of Su Quan, asking in disbelief: "I, I died?"

"I'm not as heartless as you. You haven't even put on your clothes and you want to set me up." Su Quan said with a smile.

Deathstrike explained hurriedly: "That wasn't me... well, it was me, but it wasn't my intention! I have always been controlled by Stryker, everything was done because he told me to, and... I did warn you..."

Su Quan nodded: "I know."

"You, you know?"

Su Quan got up, picked up the bathrobe on the side, and said while putting it on: "I knew a long time ago that you would be controlled by him, and I also knew that he used the brain fluid of his son, Jason Stryker, to control you and the other mutants."

"I didn't kill him, just for today."
