Chapter 493: The five strongest mutants of the Essex Corporation

~6 min read 1,167 words

On the monitor, all kinds of information flashed by quickly. Even though Su Quan possessed extremely strong dynamic vision, after staring at it for a while, he felt dazzled and his eyes felt dry.

"Bang!"

The room door was pushed open, and Sally and Laura walked in, looking slightly disheveled.

There was no need to ask to know that they had already solved Crushing Stone and Fanatic.

Speaking of which, although mutants' abilities are very strong and varied, they are targeted too miserably, and they have too many weaknesses.

The Sentinel Program, the Hound Program, collars that curb mutant abilities, equipment that screens for mutant genes, etc...

Humans' means of targeting mutants can be said to be endless!

There are also many mutant abilities that target mutants. For example, Opportunity can weaken mutants' abilities, and Jimmy can eliminate mutants' abilities.

In the 'The Gifted' world, which is the world of Miss Polaris, there is a mutant named Pulse who can suppress mutants' abilities!

Once they lose their abilities, especially if they lose them suddenly, mutants will be like Devil Fruit users in One Piece who have been put on Seastone handcuffs; nine times out of ten, they can only be slaughtered.

In addition...

Mutants have another more fatal weakness: the Terrigen Mist that awakens the Inhumans is an extremely fatal poison to mutants.

Take a breath, and friends and family can wait to eat at the funeral feast.

By comparison, super soldiers, although they don't have varied superpowers, win in stability and have almost no weaknesses.

The only, or most obvious, weakness is that they are not strong enough!

"Done, a total of 221 laboratories, the locations have all been marked."

"Boss, your identity and actions have been exposed. The Essex Corporation has dispatched its strongest mutants, and they are expected to appear within five minutes."

Friday's voice rang out, and at the same time, she withdrew the data cable connected to the computer.

Su Quan was not surprised by his exposure. Given the energy and volume of the Essex Corporation, it would be a surprise if they couldn't discover what he had done.

He was more curious about who the Essex Corporation's strongest mutants were!

"Friday, tell me about this strongest mutant."

"Boss, the Essex Corporation's strongest mutants are not just one. This time, they have come out in full force, and they are..."

"Joseph, codenamed New Magneto, possesses the ability to create and control magnetic fields. According to the data in the files, he is a clone of Magneto."

"Nate Grey, codenamed X-Man, possesses telekinesis and telepathy. According to the data in the files, he was created from the genes of Cyclops and Jean Grey."

"Karima Shapandar, codenamed Omega Sentinel, possesses super strength, super endurance, super speed, super reflexes, as well as space teleportation, flight, self-healing, and regeneration abilities. According to the data in the files, she is a cyborg who has been modified, and her whole body is covered with high-tech weapons."

"Laura Kinney, codenamed X-23, possesses powerful self-healing abilities and adamantium steel claws. According to the data in the files, she is a clone of Wolverine."

"Gideon, codenamed None, possesses the ability to pause time for everything except himself."

After Friday finished introducing them, Su Quan was a bit dumbfounded.

A clone of Magneto, a clone of Wolverine, a child created using the genes of Cyclops and Jean Grey, a cyborg, a time-based superpower user...

Should one say it's worthy of being the Essex Corporation?

It's really hard to say which of these five is the strongest mutant, but the most famous, the most popular, and the most well-known is definitely the clone of Wolverine.

X-23!

"I'm a bit curious. I haven't dealt directly with the Essex Corporation yet, so why have they sent them all out as if it were a final battle? This is not reasonable!"

Coming out in full force right from the start, do they have to be so steady?

Shouldn't the normal routine be to come one by one?

First send one to deliver a head, and after failure, be dismissive, then continue to send people, until finally suffering heavy losses, only then start to take you seriously, and only then start to go all out.

How come the Essex Corporation doesn't play by the rules!

"It's a mutant named Suzanne Chen, her codename is Sway, who can slow down or even stop the passage of time within a few minutes. She can also reproduce scenes from the past, move freely in the illusions of the past, and others can also see the illusions."

"She reproduced the scenes in the nursing home's past time and learned of your abilities, Boss."

Friday explained the reason.

"Another time-based mutant, the foundation of the Essex Corporation is truly strong..."

This Suzanne Chen can slow down the flow of time and present historical influences. In other words, the abilities he had used in the nursing home, including traveling to other universes, the Essex Corporation already knew, which is why they came out in full force and directly dispatched the five strongest mutants.

This also meant that Mr. Sinister already knew about him and had set his sights on him.

Su Quan didn't believe he had no ideas about the ability to travel through universes!

"Boom!"

A loud noise came from overhead. Su Quan released an energy defensive field to cover himself, Sally, and Laura.

Immediately after, the ceiling trembled, and rubble and dust fell down in dribs and drabs.

The entire ceiling was lifted off.

The stars and the crescent moon hung high, and several figures fell with a 'bang', appearing in front of Su Quan in a row.

Five people, two men and three women.

Standing in the C-position was a young man with long white hair. Magnetic energy light was shining on his hands. The ceiling that had been lifted off should have been his handiwork.

Obviously, he was Magneto's clone—the new Magneto, Joseph.

"Boom!"

Joseph waved his hand, and the ceiling fell back down.

"..."

Is this what you call doing something unnecessary?

If you want to come in, can't you just use the door? If you think using the door lacks style and isn't shocking enough, you could have let that Omega Sentinel teleport you in, or let Gideon pause the flow of time and make a flash appearance.

Su Quan's gaze looked to the left and right of Joseph. To his left was a man with an electric light shining in one eye. Without a doubt, he was X-Man.

On the other side of X-Man was a black woman wearing a cloak-style long dress. Her body was covered with many weapons that looked somewhat uncoordinated.

This look made it known that she was the Omega Sentinel.

To the right of Joseph was a young long-haired woman wearing a black tight-fitting suit. She wore a hood and mask, making it impossible to see her features, but her eyes were very cold, exuding an aura of 'no strangers allowed'.
