"Bang"

"Bang"

The sound of collision continued to sound in the underground facilities of Xavier's Talent Youth Academy, and Cyber, who had changed into casual clothes, stood in front of a special force recorder in a fighting posture, and was silently smashing punches into the sandbags in front of him, and after each punch, a statistic would appear on the screen next to him that stunned ordinary people.

Jean stood aside with a clipboard, recording the beating data in detail, Professor Charles sat on the side, and beside him sat Catherine, a little girl who looked curiously at the silver-white buildings around her, and Agent May, who had changed her clothes, sat farther away.

Catherine was happy to see Cyber again, but the little girl's attention at this time was not on the sweaty Cyber, but quietly looking at the other guy standing beside her, looking through a pile of records.

A blue-haired monster! A blue-haired monster from a fairy tale!

Well, that's just the little girl's personal name, standing here is Professor X's close comrade-in-arms, the powerful mutant who currently serves as the chairman of the "Mutant Council" in Congress, Henry Philip McKay "The Beast", he also has another name called Hank, and his appearance is probably the most peculiar of all the people here.

His skin is blue, but it's really nothing, because the skin of Raven, the demon girl that Cyber has seen before, is also blue, and the most striking thing about Hank is that he is covered with a mane, a blue mane, but other than that, neither the contours of his face nor his appearance are any different from humans.

He looks furry and tall, at least above 2.15, and is an out-and-out giant for Catherine, but because this blue-haired monster is wearing a sophisticated black suit and black-rimmed glasses at this time, and adding that kind of unusual researcher's temperament, it looks like there is an accident... Well, cute.

The little girl really 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 the teddy bear given to her by her godfather and godmother alone, and had a good time, but she would also look at Simber from time to time who was silent.

The child's keen senses could sense that Cyber was not in a good mood right now.

"How's it going? Hank, can you see anything?"

Professor Charles waved his hand gently, and the two cups of hot tea on the table floated in the air, slowly moving to Catherine and Hank's hands, the little girl put down the doll, and looked curiously at the teacup floating in front of her eyes, she even reached out and grabbed it under the teacup, but there was nothing.

She took the teacup and said politely to Professor Charles,

"Thank you. ”

At the professor's age, human habits still affect this powerful mutant leader, and he loves children, especially sensible children like Catherine, he kindly reached out and touched Catherine's little head, and then looked at the beast Hank, who was silent.

Don't look at the blue-haired monster Hank's rude appearance, he is a real researcher at heart, in that chaotic era 40 years ago, it was he who together with Professor Charles and Magneto prevented the war that almost destroyed the world, and then established a new order of mutant society from scratch.

He was a true genius, and a fierce warrior, and the least of the saber-toothed tiger Victor, who had no power to fight against Cyber, did not dare to be so arrogant in front of him.

"Whew..."

Hank put the record aside in his hand, then reached out and plucked his own eye, and said to Professor Charles,

Obviously, this is a phenomenon similar to "ability awakening", just like Eric did at the beginning, you and I both know that when we can't perfectly manipulate ability, we can't call it a real "awakening". ”

The beast's gaze turned to Cyber, who was punching wildly over there, and he lowered it a little with a stern voice,

"Cyber thinks that his ability was awakened a month ago, which is not right, in fact, I think his ability is really awakened today, and everything before is just a preparation for this awakening, including the self-healing that requires the consumption of body energy, including the short-term power boost, is part of this preparation. ”

As he spoke, he moved his wrist and said his conclusions as he organized the language.

"After being attacked by Victor's bastard, when trying to die with him, Cyber's ability really began to awaken, you look at his current record data, more than 3 times the strength of ordinary people, B-class self-healing, weakened version of beast perception, bone hardening, tell me, Charles, who do you think of when you see these abilities?"

Professor Charles pursed his lips, his eyes narrowed,

"Victor?"

"Yes, Victor the Sabertooth Tiger!"

The beast nodded, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Cyber, who had stopped boxing, and knocked on his temple again, "It has almost completely inherited Victor's abilities, but they have all been severely weakened, if I remember correctly, the recorded data of the saber-toothed tiger should be 7 times the strength of ordinary people, S-class self-healing, super beast perception, and bone alienation." ”

The blue Hank showed a smile that could frighten children,

"My guess is that in the explosion, both Cyber and Victor's bodies were blown to pieces, but he devoured some of Victor's flesh... Well, it may seem a bit disgusting to say that, but the truth is that he inherited some of Victor's abilities and copied them on his own, as he himself said, he needs to replenish a lot of energy after every battle. ”

"There is no doubt that his abilities have never been seen before in the history of mutants... Devour!"

Hank leaned back in his chair, his weight rattling it, and he looked with interest at Cyber as he walked towards them,

"What I'm most curious about now is, is there an end to his devouring power? That's just horrible. ”

For a moment, Professor Charles and Hank were both silent, until Cyber sat between them, reached out and knocked on Catherine's head, and then hugged the little girl who was holding her head and holding her mouth and sat on his lap, he stretched out his hand to greet Hank, who was sitting on the side,

"Hey man, your mane is awesome!

Cyber always has a special ability to make the other party hate him with a word, in the face of this familiar way of greeting, Hank bared his teeth like a beast, and snorted coldly from his nostrils,

"Boy, are you itching?"

"Huh"

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

"Two, why do I sometimes lose control of my fists now? Is it because I hurt some nerves?"

"Hmph"

Hank scoffed at the question, but he patiently explained in the end,

"This is a normal phenomenon, beast perception will help you distinguish some subconscious threats, such as tigers and wolves, such as beasts such as tigers and wolves, will always have a unique foreknowledge of the coming danger, your beast perception is a weakened version, otherwise just a moment of my hostility, you will pounce and fight with me. ”

Professor Charles added as he sipped his tea,

"So for mutants with beast perception, it is a very hard and long time to control this instinctive danger prediction, and the vast majority of mutants who have awakened beast perception in history have quickly died in conflicts with other people, because they can sense the malice of others, and to some extent, a weakened version of beast perception is a good thing for you, at least it will avoid a lot of unnecessary fights. ”

"Oh, really?"

Cybermore rubbed his chin and said expectantly, "But I think the full version sounds a little more powerful... 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 mystery.

"It's devouring, Cyber, you can devour what enters your body and then transform it into something that is beneficial to you, such as eating a lot of food, which will make your wounds heal faster, such as devouring the toxins that enter your body, so that you are safe and sound, and this time it is the same, you have devoured the flesh of the saber-toothed tiger, giving you abilities that are very similar to him. ”

"Uh..."

There was a look of embarrassment and disgust on Cyber's face, "I ate some of him?

"No, it's not eating! It's devouring, it's different!"

Hank the Beast glared at him,

"Your description is terrible, it has successfully discouraged my desire for lunch, and I warn you, boy, don't think that you can try something weird if you have this ability, I don't want to see you become a pica or an ogre... Remember, your devouring doesn't always succeed. ”

As soon as Cyber wanted to refute, Gray Jean, who came over with a pile of materials, also spoke,

"Hank is right, Cyber, some of the reports on your abilities have been sorted out, and now I'm going to tell you a few things to keep in mind before you die. ”

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

"First of all, there is a limit to your phagocytosis, in the hemodialysis I just done, 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 you try to drink a glass of sulfuric acid, you will die as well!"

Hearing this, Cyber pursed his lips, but he did not refute, but continued to listen to Jean, who reached out and brushed his long burgundy hair, and continued,

"But the good news is that even deadly toxins, after dissolving in your body, will be slowly infiltrated and eliminated by your ability, but in this process, your physical fitness will be reduced to the minimum, similar to the rejection reaction of ordinary people when they are sick, if this happens, you must be prepared in advance, because at this time, you are the most vulnerable, if you do not have enough energy supplement, you are likely to be tortured for a long time, and even cause some damage to your body. ”

"That's good news, which means I don't have to worry about my opponent killing me with venom in the future, right?"

Cyber's eyes narrowed, Jean thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Then there's your ability to heal yourself, B-level self-healing means that you can ignore most cold weapon attacks, even if you cut off your arm or leg, you will slowly recover, but this process will also make you 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..."

Jean's expression became serious, and she accentuated her tone,

"You're going to die. ”

Cyber fell silent, he nodded, then turned to look at Hank,

"Brother Hank, the saber-toothed tiger's self-healing... What level?"

"S-Class!"

Hank drank the water from the teacup, he stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of the ugly Seb's eyes, "He's the only 2 S-class regenerators we've found so far, and in fact, we suspect that his abilities have gone beyond the concept of self-healing itself to another level." ”

"What?"

Cyber subconsciously asked, and Hank closed his eyes and spat out a word, "Immortality!"

"It's... How is this possible?!"

As an Oriental, Cyber was too familiar with the word to believe that there really was a concept of immortality in this world, and seeing his surprise, Professor Charles chuckled and added,

"Victor was born in the 19th century, Cyber, he has lived for more than 200 years, you don't have to take your failures seriously, in fact, Victor is already one of the most difficult enemies in the current mutant society, one of the strongest beta-class mutants. ”

Cyber took a deep breath to calm his emotions down, his fingers tapping on the table, and finally, he looked at Gray Jean standing in front of him,

"And what about me, Beauty, in your pamphlet, I wouldn't still be a poor Epsilon mutant, would I?"

"Of course... No, congratulations on becoming a beta-level mutant, and by the way, the little girl next to you is an alpha-level, and she is more of a perfect mutant than you with unstable abilities. ”
