Chapter 479: Immortal ability? (First update, please subscribe!)

~7 min read 1,252 words

Mr. Immortal is the only known supreme human. His level of evolution far exceeds that of humans and the more superior mutant race; he is immortal in the true sense of the word.

He is immune to aging and possesses the superpower of constant resurrection and regenerative healing. It has been proven that he can resurrect from lethal methods including being shot, stabbed, drowned, crushed, exploded, poisoned, decapitated, irradiated, and incinerated.

He can survive until the end of the universe!

This kind of superpower that makes it impossible to die no matter what is exactly what Su Quan wants most. If he had this ability, combined with the system's drop rewards, he could just go up and fight anyone—be it the Watcher or Doctor Manhattan!

Unfortunately, he doesn't know which universe Mr. Immortal is in.

The multiverse is too vast. Even though his psychic power has reached the multiverse level and he can travel through the multiverse, trying to find Mr. Immortal is like looking for a needle in a haystack; it's not that easy.

Since he can't find Mr. Immortal for the time being, he will settle for the next best thing.

Although Cannonball's immortal ability is far inferior to Mr. Immortal's in terms of performance, as long as it has the immortal attribute, combined with the Dionysus factor, as well as self-healing and regenerative abilities, it might not be worse than Mr. Immortal's.

Of course, that is on the condition that the Cannonball of this world has this hidden ability!

Su Quan beckoned to the nervous Cannonball: "Use your ability and charge at me!"

"Su, Dr. Su Quan, I can't control my ability, I... I can't stop, this will be very dangerous!"

Dangerous?

Are you in danger, or am I in danger?

Su Quan shook his head and said calmly to him: "I will ensure your safety."

"That's not what I meant... Forget it, if you feel it's dangerous, you must, must, must dodge!" Cannonball warned seriously and began to stretch his limbs.

Knowing what it was like when he unleashed his ability, Sunspot and Wolfsbane hurriedly dodged, and Wolfsbane even pulled Mirage along.

Laura, who was on the side, was also a superhero, but she was not a mutant and had no superpowers; she was just flesh and blood, so naturally, she wouldn't try to be brave and dodged early on.

"I'm coming."

Cannonball gave a warning, and waves of vibration emanated from his body as purple energy spread, quickly covering his entire body.

"Boom!"

A loud noise like an earthquake shook everyone slightly, and they saw a dazzling stream of light shoot toward Su Quan with a 'whoosh'.

"So fast!"

Mirage and Laura, who were seeing Cannonball use his ability for the first time, subconsciously showed expressions of shock.

And then...

They were stunned.

Everyone was stunned!

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: Chemical Thermal Energy (Cannonball)"

While the drop reward notification for the onlookers sounded, Cannonball had already rushed in front of Su Quan like a cannonball.

A strong wind brushed their faces, and heat waves encroached.

In the dazzling light, Su Quan remained motionless, calmly grabbing the purple energy-wrapped Cannonball with one hand.

Neck-pinching, throat-locking.

The inertia of the sudden stop made Cannonball feel like his neck was about to break.

His head remained still while his body swayed and dangled, looking just like a corpse that had died by hanging!

Everyone was stunned precisely because they saw this scene!

They had thought that Cannonball might be knocked away by Su Quan's bizarre methods, or that Su Quan would fail to show off and be knocked away by Cannonball.

But they never expected the result to be so unexpected, leaving them dumbfounded!

It was simply... too calm and composed!

Su Quan pinched Cannonball's neck more easily than pinching a chick, but they knew very well that this was not easy at all!

The sheer speed of that impact alone was something none of them could withstand!

"Cough... cough cough..." Su Quan released Cannonball, who slumped to the ground, clutching his neck with both hands, coughing violently and gasping for air.

"God, I thought my neck was going to break." Cannonball said after a while, still feeling lingering fear.

Su Quan pointed out: "Your problem lies in two aspects. One is the proficiency of your ability; as long as you increase the intensity of your practice and persevere, you will naturally improve."

"On the other hand, which is also your main goal, you are afraid of your own ability!"

Cannonball's expression changed slightly, and he lowered his head, remaining silent.

Don't look at him as the only one who actively practices his ability; he only seems active, but in reality, he is deeply afraid, even... disgusted!

His father and those innocent miners died because of this ability. He works hard to practice his ability not to become stronger, but because he doesn't want anyone else to die because of this ability, because of him!

"Because you know, I won't say much more. If you want to practice your ability, come find me." After Su Quan finished speaking, he signaled that he could go back.

To determine if he has the immortal ability and to farm it, it's impossible without ten or eight tries!

Even if the next drop is points, Su Quan won't assume he doesn't have the immortal ability and just stop farming!

After all, drop rewards have a probability, although most of the time, abilities drop first, and only when there are no more abilities do points drop.

But Cannonball's immortal ability is hidden so deep that it's possible it's not easy to drop; he certainly wouldn't be willing to give up without farming a few more times!

Cannonball returned to the queue of his companions and stood straight again. Honestly, he was full of doubts now: how did Su Quan know it was his psychological problem after just one exchange?

And...

Just now, with that kind of impact, his neck didn't break, and he didn't suffer any injuries. Is this reasonable? Is this scientific?

He wanted to ask, but the timing wasn't right, so he could only bury his doubts in his heart and talk about it later.

Sunspot and Cannonball could be considered to have been guided by Su Quan. Regardless of whether the method of guidance was rough or whether it was useful to them, the method and direction were definitely correct!

He couldn't favor one over the other; next up were Wolfsbane and Mirage.

Wolfsbane's ability was already controlled perfectly; to become stronger, she could only rely on increasing combat experience and strengthening.

However, on the surface, Su Quan still gave some vague guidance. Wolfsbane cooperated well, pretending to nod and respond seriously a few times before returning to the queue.

Just me left...

Mirage looked at Su Quan, who was looking over, and felt inexplicably nervous.

He wouldn't make any excessive demands again, would he?

"Your turn!"

"Your ability hasn't been registered yet. We only know you have non-trivial psionic energy. What is the specific way it manifests?"

"Telepathy? Telekinesis? Psychic illusions? Or reality warping?"

Su Quan came to Mirage, deliberately pretending not to know her ability.

Mirage opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Because she didn't know what her ability was either. She only remembered fainting before coming here, and when she woke up, Dr. Reyes told her she was a mutant.

Even the fact that she possessed psionic energy, she only knew after Su Quan said so!
