Chapter 8: Facing the New World
The format of the knockout rounds progressed extremely quickly, with twelve octagonal rings playing at the same time, and only about a tenth of the participants were left in a few rounds. And the youngest player in the whole tournament, Roy Wood, a descendant of the wolf pack, has also won all the way to the present.
Although he was only twelve years old, he had a strange transparent force field attached to his weapon, which easily slashed through his opponent's weapon and energy shield.
And as a child who has been training killing and martial arts in the wolf pack since he was a child, his fighting skills are far from being comparable to others.
.........
"Brother, brother is so good! My brother is so tired!"
As the game entered the rest stage, Peter Rasputin had just stepped off the field, and was retreating from his "tempered" form, when a small figure with short blonde hair and a mushroom head jumped into his arms.
His sister, Liana Rasputin, clutched a strange-looking doll and arched it into Peter's arms, shouting excitedly.
Sixteen or seventeen-year-old Peter has exceeded the height of 1.9 meters, strong as a brute bear, he has a neat inch of hair, a strong upper body, and easily solves a rival in the same academy who controls the growth of plants.
But looking at her sister's eyebrows, she was gentle and spoiled to the extreme, and she really responded to the sentence "iron man tenderness".
"Good job Peter, I hope you can beat Kurt, it's really not fun to fight him, hehe, I also want to see if I can break your 'toughened' body."
Laura walked past the young "Colossus", pinched the face of the little bean Ding Liana Rasputin and said casually, only to see the seemingly rough giant salute in a respectful whisper:
"Miss, then I still hope to be eliminated by Master Kurt earlier."
Peter spoke with a Russian accent, his voice was as low as thunder, and his words and deeds gave people a very calm and testable feeling.
"Hmph, Shet... After two convictions, what's the big deal..."
Planck, a mutant young man who had lost to Peter, walked past him and teased him with a very unconvinced sneer.
His ability is not suitable for such a metal arena competition, and Planck has to hold several potted plants every time he enters the field, and only in the woods or the mountains and rivers can this ability to control the growth of plants be most effective.
So losing to Peter Rasputin, a reckless man who can almost only defend against fists, felt extremely aggrieved.
Liana made a grimace at the tall, thin young man who was not good at speaking, but Peter bowed his head as if he hadn't heard, without any expression. "Planck, shut your foul mouth!"
Laura glared and scolded, and the latter turned pale, bowed and nodded, and hurriedly walked away.
She casually hammered Peter's arm, and said unconcernedly:
"I still want you to play in the team game, Warren will only fly around with bells and whistles... I've heard my mom say that there will be a so-called 'boss' at the end of this team battle, and if you can join me with Jean and Kurt, the four of us will be completely sure...... "
During the break in the arena, there was a lively discussion in the stands about the game just now, and even betting on guessing who would finally make it to the end and fight Miss Howlett.
Elizabeth Braddock, the "Spirit Butterfly", looked at the few people next door in the open-air box of the British mutant team.
There was no chance of anyone else winning the championship in their discussions, as if the person who could finally stand in front of Laura Howlett was glorious enough.
"Elizabeth, the few opponents you may encounter in the future are not easy to deal with, I have been observing the little girl named Oloro Monroe just now, she is a child with the potential of the 'Five Kings', her ability does not seem to be simply to release lightning, that Young Master Kurt Howlett is the son of the Red Devil and the Demon Lady, and the steel force--"
"Daddy!"
Lingdie hugged her arm that was not thick but had extremely tight muscular lines and shouted unhappily, because of the sudden anger at the center of her eyebrows, some butterfly-like rose-red energy lines bloomed uncontrollably, and they were trembling and shining brightly.
This is also the origin of the name "Spirit Butterfly".
「... You've said so much, why don't you mention the 'Daughter of the Wolf'! Do you think she must be the strongest? The only way to come here is to defeat Laura Howlett as my goal!"
At the moment, the leader of the British transcendent power world, Captain Braddock of the "Sword of the Kingdom" helplessly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, wanting to hug his daughter, but she was sideways to dodge, so he had to explain in a thick London soft voice:
"Baby, of course Daddy believes you have the strength, but... Bread has to be eaten in one bite, every game has to be treated as the last, you have almost no opponents in the extraordinary academy in England and even Europe, but today you should see your own shortcomings...... "
Although the girl's stubborn mouth was still high, she knew very well in her heart that her pride had been broken in the first game.
She couldn't imagine that a girl who looked about her age could easily hold her in the palm of her hand.
And Miss Howlett, who has always paid the most attention to the spirit butterfly, almost all of her fights have been rushed with three punches and two kicks, and she has not even released the pair of representative diamond claws.
Not only the children who participated in the competition and their parents or power organizations behind them, but also more official institutions and extraordinary organizations who came to observe it, more and more realized how far they are from these young extraordinary people with unlimited potential in the world.
The representative of the king mage sent by Kama Taj also came with a mission.
After observing the Transcendent Competition, he was going to discuss with the Supreme Mage whether or not to send a young Mystic Master to participate in the next competition.
But at this moment, his gray beard was raised high, and his grandson, "Master Wang", who was less than ten years old, sat beside him with tears in his eyes, and a big bag bulging high above his head.
After watching the game, this grandson, who had finally inherited his path as a secret mage, excitedly shouted that he didn't want to be a mage anymore, but wanted to practice the martial arts killing technique of the Howlett family.
He even asked him if he could use a spell to stimulate himself to also mutate genetically and become a mutant!
The representative of the American military, General Ross of the Young Zhuang faction, indifferently glanced at the box diagonally opposite.
There were several official representatives of the Soviet Union who were seriously discussing, led by Alexei Shostakov, the bearded "Red Guard".
The muscles on General Ross's cheeks bulged, and he said solemnly to the adjutant of the major beside him:
"If we were to train the super-soldiers in the army in the so-called 'Killing Technique', what percentage would we be able to reach the level of Steve Rogers and that Barnes?"
Today, no one dares to mention the "traitor" code name that Captain Rogers once had in classified U.S. military and government files.
He is now not only a World War II hero in this country, but also a representative figure in the hearts of the people to maintain the stability of the world's extraordinary order.
The adjutant was silent for a few seconds, and replied seriously:
"Sir, in the life potential mining training system created by James Howlett, killing is much more difficult than evolution, and it is not as widespread as the current evolution that mutants can access."
「... Rogers and the others are the best among them, but the number of warriors that the Howlett family has reached such a level in a few years, we don't have exact information, but it is certain that it is quite limited, and the scientific research department has judged it in many ways more than ten years ago, and the system is not suitable-"
"Okay, I got it."
General Ross waved his hand, got up and walked to the front of the box, holding up the fence with his hands, and looked down at the silver-gray beehive stands, as if this was not a spectator seat in a competition field, but a seat for a United Nations conference delegation.
"Collectivization, scale, replication."
Mr. General put his hands behind his back and said three words in a deep voice, and did not intend to wait for the adjutant to respond, and continued to say in a deep voice:
"These three points are the only advantages we can exploit, and the Soviets had an abundance of mutant thorns in the fifties
Although the experience of radical transformation has been abolished for various reasons, it is still ahead of us......
"Super Soldier Serum is no longer the patent of the American military, so let the scientific research team continue to dig deeper into the serum project, I think... The direction of gamma rays is very promising, and strive to make a breakthrough in this field, at least in all aspects, to surpass the old serum modification effect!"
The adjutant scribbled down the tasks assigned by the commander in his notebook, and the research competition in the field of supernatural forces was more fierce than the arms race of nuclear weapons and technological weapons of mass destruction.
Compared to nuclear forces, which are prone to defeat enemies at every turn, the top mutants or transcendents are better suited to force deterrence and precision strikes.
Namor, the king of the sea, has driven away many waves of landers who have tried to infiltrate Atlantis in recent years.
They are not ill-intentioned towards this underwater kingdom, but rather some formal organizations such as large powers or super conglomerates, trying to establish contact with this powerful transcendent one of the "Five Kings".
Namor Mackenzie's power to control the seas has made too many island and coastal nations jealous and envious.
Even the secret mages of Kama Taj have been tried and contacted by some official organizations many times, and some countries have even made conditions for making Kama Taj the "state religion", and the Supreme Mage is called "Pope", "High Priest" and other titles, trying to invite secret mages to teach magic skills on a large scale.
If it weren't for James Howlett's unequivocal stance that he would not interfere in the political struggles of the ordinary human world, and even through the Howlett group, he showed a bias towards some weaker countries.
Mr. President in the White House would have held this banner high a long time ago, shouldering the threat of the whole world and bullying other countries.
