Chapter 494

~6 min read 1,179 words

She should be the adult version of X-23!

The one next to her is Gideon. Matching the names, she is the only one left.

"Who are you, what abilities do you have—I don't want to know any of this, and I have no interest in knowing."

"Surrender!"

Joseph had an 'I'm doing this for your own good' attitude, and his opening was extremely arrogant, making one want to spit in his face.

Then...

Su Quan did just that.

Don't say you're just a clone of Magneto, just the so-called new Magneto; even if you were the original, you wouldn't dare to be so arrogant with me.

Young people are arrogant and reckless, not knowing whether they are living or dying!

"Whoosh—"

Su Quan raised his hand and pointed. A scorching energy ray hit Joseph in the face with lightning speed.

"Bang!"

The energy ray hit him in the face. He didn't even see Su Quan make a move. Note, he didn't see it, not that he didn't see it clearly!

He only saw Su Quan raise his hand and point at him, and then... there was no 'then'.

His face exploded directly!

To be precise, not just his face; after all, no matter how thick his skin was, it couldn't withstand Su Quan's energy ray, so what exploded was his entire head!

"Thud!"

Joseph's corpse slowly fell backward, hitting the ground heavily. The small, bloodied face that was missing pieces could still vaguely show a bit of the arrogance that hadn't had time to fade.

Jo... Joseph actually died?

The scalding blood splashed onto the other four people, making them completely unable to hold it together.

He was the new Magneto, one of the company's strongest mutants; how could he be killed in seconds by the opponent upon the first encounter?

Most importantly...

What did the opponent do, and how did he kill Joseph in seconds?

Killing someone just by raising a hand and pointing?

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: Control magnetic field (Joseph)"

It's the third time, the third time he's obtained the ability to control magnetic fields.

The young Magneto of the new timeline, the old Magneto of the old timeline, and this time, Magneto's clone, Joseph.

Three times of stacking have brought this ability to an all-around improvement. Su Quan suddenly felt a bit of anticipation for the scene of meeting Miss Polaris.

You can control magnetic fields, and I can too, and I'm stronger than you, so you have to call me Daddy?

I call you Miss, you call me Daddy, we each call each other our own way?

"Hum!"

Violent psychic power surged over. X-Man, created from the genes of Cyclops and Jean Grey, made a move.

He only inherited Jean Grey's psychic abilities, so even if he stared, he couldn't stare out Cyclops' laser beams.

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: Telepathy (X-Man)"

Psychic isolation activated automatically.

Su Quan, while sensing how much strength X-Man's ability added to his own psychic power, manipulated the molecules to turn the ground beneath their feet into quicksand, trapping their legs.

X-Man, X-23, Omega Sentinel, and Gideon were all startled and hurriedly tried to break free.

But, it wasn't that easy!

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: Self-healing (X-23)"

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: Time pause (Gideon)"

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: Super strength (Omega Sentinel)"

Several people's abilities dropped at the same time.

Self-healing and super strength are nothing to talk about; they are already rotten-street abilities for Su Quan. Gideon's time pause, however, is a good ability that ranks alongside invisibility in a man's heart!

Time is supreme, space is king.

Mastering time and space allows one to modify reality, dominate causality, weave fate, and manipulate all things.

All of the above, the Phoenix Force can do.

Theoretically speaking, Su Quan can manipulate time, manipulate space, manipulate reality, and reset the universe!

But people have their strengths, and arts have their specialties. Except for space, Su Quan hasn't dabbled in the others yet.

Gideon's ability did improve his Phoenix Force in terms of time, and also gave him a bit more understanding of time.

"Da da da—da da da—"

Omega Sentinel fired a burst at the quicksand beneath her feet that had already solidified.

The sound of gunfire was deafening, and quicksand splashed everywhere.

Just when her feet were about to gain freedom with great difficulty, the quicksand, like a flexible python, entangled her again.

X-23 beside her was the same. Although the adamantium steel claws were sharp, Su Quan never stopped manipulating the quicksand, not giving them a chance to break free at all.

Brute force won't work, so then...

Omega Sentinel activated teleportation, trying to use the flash method to get rid of the quicksand's restraint.

"Whoosh—"

Before Omega Sentinel could be happy, she was stunned to find that she was still in the same place, and the quicksand beneath her feet was still releasing its death-grip on her.

Teleportation failed?

No, that's not right; the teleportation succeeded, it was her method of using teleportation to get rid of the restraint that failed!

Omega Sentinel was surprised but not discouraged. As the saying goes, offense is the best defense.

Su Quan was resisting X-Man's psychic intrusion and still manipulating the quicksand beneath their feet. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't be multitasking and operating on multiple lines, right?

"Gideon, get ready!"

Omega Sentinel gave a heads-up, preparing to coordinate a wave with Gideon.

Amidst the clanking sounds, Omega Sentinel's hands changed into a pair of cannon barrels full of a sense of technology.

Scorching flame energy condensed rapidly in the cannon barrels. Omega Sentinel aimed the barrels at Su Quan and shook her arms.

"Boom!"

A loud noise.

Two dazzling firelights blasted toward Su Quan rapidly.

Su Quan's eyes lit up. Is that you, Genos!

Inhale, clench fist.

Exhale, throw punch.

Su Quan exerted force out of thin air and threw a plain, unremarkable punch.

"Whoosh..."

The wind of the punch whistled, covering the sky and the earth!

The quicksand that had originally bound their legs collapsed instantly. Immediately after, four sounds of impact—bang, bang, bang, bang—were heard, and they all stuck to the wall behind them in unison.

As for Omega Sentinel's two cannon blasts, those two dazzling firelights were directly blasted away by this plain, unremarkable punch. Truly—as brilliant as summer flowers, as beautiful as autumn leaves!

They disappeared without even a sound.

"Pfft..." Gideon spat out a mouthful of blood, rolled her eyes, and fainted directly.

X-23's clothes were somewhat torn in the whistling wind of the punch, but her powerful self-healing ability made her pale face quickly return to a rosy color.

The moment she fell from the wall, the adamantium steel claws on her hands had already extended with a 'swish', and then... Su Quan waved his hand casually, and she was involuntarily stuck back to the wall with a 'clatter'.

The ability to control magnetic fields is her nemesis!

X-23 facing Su Quan is like Wolverine facing Magneto; besides delivering a head, it's still delivering a head...
