"boom"

"boom"

Crashing sounded constantly in the underground facility of Xavier Talented Youth Academy. Saibo, who was dressed in casual clothes, stood in front of a special machine in a fighting posture, and was punching in silence. To the sandbag in front of him, after every punch, a data that made ordinary people stunned appeared on the screen next to him.

Jin stood aside holding the record board, recording the beating data in detail. Professor Charles sat aside, sitting beside him, curiously looking at the little girl Catherine in the silver and white buildings around, she changed her clothes. Agent May sat further away.

Catherine was very happy to see Saibo again, but the little girl's attention was not on the sweaty Saibo, but quietly looking at another guy standing next to her and looking at the stack of records.

A blue fur monster!A blue fur monster in a fairy tale!

Well, this is just the personal name of the little girl. Standing here is Professor X’s close comrade, and a powerful mutant named “The Beast” who is currently the chairman of the “Mutant Council” in Congress. McKay, he has another name called Hank, and his appearance is probably the strangest of all people here.

His skin is blue, but that’s not a big deal, because the devilish girl Ruiwen that Cyber ​​has seen is also blue. The most striking thing about Hank is that he is covered with bristles. Hair, blue mane, but apart from this, neither the outline of his face nor his appearance is different from a human being.

He looks fluffy and tall, at least 2.15 or above. For Catherine, he is an out-and-out giant, but because this blue fur monster is now wearing an elegant black suit with a black frame. The glasses, coupled with the temperament of a unique researcher, seem to be unexpected... well, cute.

The little girl wanted to touch Hank’s mane, but she was an obedient and sensible child, so when the adults cast their eyes on Cyber, she held her godfather and godmother and gave it to her. The teddy bear has a lot of fun, but from time to time she will look at Saibo, who is silent.

The child's keen senses felt that Cyber ​​was not in a good mood now.

"How? Hank, can you see anything?"

Professor Charles waved gently, and the two cups of hot tea placed on the table floated in the air, slowly moving to the hands of Catherine and Hank, the little girl put down the doll, and curiously looked at the tea cup floating in front of her, she even stretched it out. Shot, grabbed under the teacup, but nothing was left.

She took the tea cup and said politely to Professor Charles,

"thank you."

At the age of the professor, human habits are still affecting this powerful mutant leader. He likes children very much, especially sensible children like Catherine. He kindly reached out his hand and touched Catherine’s head, then watched. To Hank, the silent beast.

Don’t look at Hank’s rude look. He is essentially a real researcher. In the chaotic era 40 years ago, he, together with Professor Charles and Magneto, prevented the scene that almost destroyed the world. War, and then established a new order of mutant society from scratch.

He is a true genius, and also a brave warrior. Victor, the saber-toothed tiger who is the least able to fight against Cyber, doesn't dare to be so arrogant in front of him.

"call…"

Hank put the record in his hand aside, then reached out and took off his eyes, and said to Professor Charles,

"Obviously, this is a phenomenon similar to "capacity awakening". Just like Eric did at the beginning, you and I know that when the ability to manipulate the ability is not perfect, it cannot be called a true "awakening." ."

The beast turned his gaze to Saibo who was punching frantically over there,

"Syber thinks that his ability was awakened a month ago. This is wrong. In fact, I think his ability was truly awakened today. Everything before that was just preparations for this awakening, including the need. The self-healing that consumes body energy, including that short-term strength increase, is part of this preparation."

While speaking, he moved his wrists to organize the language while speaking out his own conclusions.

"After encountering Victor’s bastard’s attack and trying to die with him, Cyber’s ability really began to awaken. Look at his current record data. It is more than 3 times the strength of ordinary people, B-level self-healing. , A weakened version of beast perception, hardened bones, tell me, Charles, who do you think of when you see these abilities?"

Professor Charles pursed his mouth, his eyes narrowed.

"Victor?"

"Yes, Victor the Sabretooth Tiger!"

The Beast nodded. He reached out to stop the boxing Saibo, and knocked on his temple again. "Almost completely inherited Victor's ability, but it has been severely weakened. If I don't If you remember incorrectly, the recorded data of the saber-toothed tiger should be 7 times the strength of an ordinary person, S-level self-healing, superb beast perception, and bone alienation."

The blue Hank showed a smile that could scare children.

"My guess is that in the explosion, both Cyber ​​and Victor's bodies were blown to pieces, but he swallowed part of Victor's flesh and blood... Well, it seems a bit disgusting to say that, but the fact is that he Inherited a part of Victor's abilities, and then copied it on his own body, as he said, after every battle, he needs to replenish a lot of energy."

"There is no doubt that his ability has never appeared in the history of mutants... Devour!"

Hank leaned on the chair, his weight creaked the chair, he looked at Saibo walking towards them with interest.

"What I am most curious about right now is, is there an end to his devouring ability? If not...it would be terrible."

For a while, Professor Charles and Hank were silent, until Saibo sat down between them, reached out and knocked on Catherine’s head, and then held the little girl who was holding her head and her mouth in her arms. On his lap, he stretched out his hand to greet Hank who was sitting on the side.

"Hi, buddy, your mane is awesome! It looks awesome with your skin!"

Cyber ​​always has a special ability to make the other person hate him in a word. Facing this familiar way of greeting, Hank barked his teeth like a beast and snorted coldly from his nostrils.

"Boy, are you itchy?"

"Huh"

Saber raised his fists subconsciously, but after a moment, he relaxed a little awkwardly, then scratched his head and asked Professor Hank and Charles,

"Two, why do I occasionally lose control of my fists now? Is it because of some nerve injury?"

"Humph"

Hank scoffed at this question, but he finally explained patiently,

"This is a normal phenomenon. Beast perception will help you distinguish some subconscious threats. For example, beasts like tigers and wolves will always have a unique prediction of danger. Your beast perception is a weakened version, otherwise it was just The moment I show hostility, you will come up and fight me."

Professor Charles added while drinking tea,

"So for mutants with beast-awareness, to control this instinctive danger prediction is a very hard and long-term exercise. In history, most mutants who have awakened beast-awareness will soon die. In conflicts with other people, because they can feel the malice of others, to a certain extent, the weakened version of the beast perception is a good thing for you, at least it will avoid a lot of unnecessary fights."

"Oh, really?"

Saibo rubbed his chin and said expectantly, "But I think the full version sounds better... By the way, professor, have you analyzed the results? What the hell is my ability?"

Hank and Professor Charles looked at each other, and finally the professor revealed the answer.

"It’s swallowing, Cyber. You can swallow the substances that enter your body and then transform them into existences that are beneficial to you. For example, eating a lot of food will make your wounds heal faster, such as swallowing the substances that enter your body. The toxin has kept you safe and sound, this time too. You swallowed the flesh and blood of the saber-toothed tiger, allowing you to acquire abilities similar to him.

"Uh…"

There was a trace of embarrassment and disgusting expression on Saibo's face, "I ate a part of him? It's disgusting!"

"No, it's not eaten! It's swallowed, it's different!"

Hank the Beast glared at him.

"Your description is terrible. It successfully dispelled my desire for lunch. Also, I want to warn you, boy, don't think that you can try some weird things casually if you have this ability. I don't want to see you change. Become a pica or an ogre...remember, your devouring is not always successful."

Sai Bo just wanted to refute, and Gree Jin, who came over with a pile of materials, also said,

"Hank is right, Cyber. Part of the report on your abilities has been sorted out. Now I want to tell you something that needs attention, lest you die in advance."

Qin pulled out a piece of paper full of words from those materials, coughed lightly, and read,

"First of all, your phagocytosis is limited. In the hemodialysis I just did, I found that the highest that your cells can withstand is weak to moderate toxins, and there is no resistance to corrosive liquids, that is, if If you try to drink a glass of sulfuric acid, you will die!"

Hearing the news, Saibo curled his lips, but he did not refute, but continued to listen to Qin's account. The latter stretched out his hand and brushed his long wine-red hair and continued,

"But the good news is that even deadly toxins, after being dissolved in your body, will be slowly penetrated and destroyed by your abilities, but in the process, your physical fitness will be reduced to a minimum, similar to ordinary The rejection reaction when people are sick. If this happens, you must prepare in advance, because you are the most vulnerable at this time. If you don’t have enough energy to supplement, you are likely to be tortured for a long time. It may even cause some damage to your body."

"This is good news. In other words, I don't have to worry about my opponent using venom to kill me in the future, right?"

Saibo's smiling eyes narrowed, and Jin thought for a while, then nodded.

"Then your self-healing ability. B-level self-healing means that you can ignore most cold weapon attacks. Even if your arms or legs are cut off, you will slowly recover, but this process will also make you become Weak, and it should be noted that the bullet is still fatal to you. If it hits your heart, you will also be seriously injured. If it hits your head..."

Qin's expression became serious, and she increased her tone.

"you will die."

Saber fell silent, he nodded, then turned to look at Hank.

"Brother Hank, what is the level of Sabretooth Tiger's self-healing?"

"S grade!"

Hank drank the water in the teacup. He stretched out two fingers and shook in front of the ugly face of Saibo. "He is the only 2 S-level regenerators we have found so far. In fact, We suspect that his ability has surpassed the concept of self-healing itself and reached another level."

"what?"

Saibo subconsciously asked, Hank closed his eyes and spit out a word, "Living forever!"

"This... how is this possible?!"

As an Oriental, Cyber ​​is too familiar with this word. He can't believe that there is a concept of immortality in this world. Seeing his surprise, Professor Charles chuckled lightly and added,

"Victor was born in the 19th century. Cyber. He has lived for more than 200 years. Don’t worry about your failure. In fact, Victor is already one of the most difficult enemies in the mutant society. , One of the strongest Beta mutants."

Saber took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, and tapped his fingers on the table. Finally, he looked at Gretchen standing in front of him.

"What about me? Beauty, in your pamphlet, I am not still a poor Ypsilon mutant, am I?"

"Of course... No, congratulations on becoming a Beta mutant. In addition, the little girl next to you is Alpha. Compared to you, whose ability is not stable, she is more like a perfect mutant."
