Chapter 100: The First Red Entry

Gratitude?

Orion looked amused.

Suddenly, he felt a pang of annoyance. Why had he marked the pink entry as 10,000 luck points?

If Padrit were to die because of it, Orion would likely be held responsible and he would be unable to live with that burden.

But… it's all done now.

Regret is a waste of time.

To make amends, Orion couldn't help but offer advice: "Padrit, I suggest you drink as much animal blood as possible on your way home. It will definitely help you."

"I will," Padrit replied with a nod.

He pushed open the door, gradually disappeared down the corridor, and left the Golden Dagger Club for good.

Emilia watched the entire process, her expression shifting dramatically, yet she remained clueless about the benefit Joker had gained!

Could it be… everything is free?

Is it true, as Joker said, that he merely seeks to bring some amusement to the world?

"Emilia."

"Thank you very much for your help in making the connection."

"Next…"

"Join me in witnessing the moment of miracle."

Orion smiled.

Without hesitation, he opened the mirror dimension with his bare hands.

A series of prism-like substances suddenly covered the entire sky. He pulled Emilia into the mirror dimension and followed Padrit!

As Emilia observed, her beautiful eyes trembled.

She struggled to comprehend the scene before her, overwhelmed with awe for Joker. Her face was a canvas of amazement!

"The fun is about to begin."

Orion, in the mirror dimension, kept his eyes on Padrit, walking with Emilia through streets and alleys until they reached the Aomen Pier.

There, a speedboat was docked—ready to whisk one away from Macau.

Padrit would head to his next scheduled stop.

Nanyang!

After a brief rest, Padrit would take his daughter and sail across the ocean to their destination.

Madrid Slope.

Despite being a haven for crime and corruption, Madripoor still had some semblance of law and order.

Madame Tigress forbids blood and violence in Madripoor!

At Padrit's temporary residence, before he could return, he spotted a stray dog wagging its tail.

The stray was dirty, with matted fur and its tongue hanging out in a cheeky manner.

"Feel sorry."

Padrit's eyes flickered with something unsettling.

He cradled the stray dog, twisted its neck with brutal force, and, while its body was still warm, severed its cervical vertebrae, beginning to drink its blood in greedy gulps!

His eyes glowed with a scarlet light as his blood vessels expanded and contracted.

With each gulp of fresh blood, an unprecedented force surged through his limbs and bones!

"You turned Padrit into a blood-sucking monster…?" Emilia's surprise was palpable.

This was a stark contrast to her previous impression of Padrit!

"NO."

"That's just how he is."

Orion shook his head.

He immediately checked his personal entry panel.

[Name]: Orion

[Identity]: Acting Supreme Sorcerer

[Talents]: Super Genius (purple), Fifty-Fifty (purple), Innate Knowledge (purple), Blessed Physique (purple), Winner in Life (purple), X-Factor (purple), One Mind All Purpose (purple), Immune to All Diseases (blue), Time Traveler (pink), Half a Step Ahead of Heaven (black), A Crime to Possess a Treasure (black).

[Luck Value]: 10,845.9

"10,845.9!"

"I was only planning to upgrade the blue entry to a purple entry…"

"Now I can actually upgrade the red entry directly!"

Orion's heart leaped with delight. He contemplated which entry to enhance.

[Super Genius]? [Fifty-Fifty]? [Innate Knowledge]?

Or… [Blessed Physique]? [Winner in Life]?

For the first time, Orion was uncertain, wrestling with the difficulty of decision-making.

Each entry offered extraordinary effects, promising a leap in his talents and abilities!

Yet, as night fell and midnight approached, he would soon return to the mysterious dimension.

Be wary of the trolls and powerful monsters lurking!

At this moment, only one entry promised immediate and significant transformation.

Without hesitation, Orion made his choice!

[Do you want to use the luck value for [X-Factor] (purple)?]

"Sure!"

Orion's eyes brimmed with anticipation.

[X-Factor] (Purple): You possess Alpha-level mutant abilities and belong to a select few standing at the top of the pyramid.

With this entry, he became a top mutant. Once he evolved again, he would undoubtedly reach god-level!

[[X-Factor] has evolved into [Omega Level] (Red)]

[Omega Level] (Red): You can absorb cosmic energy at all times and convert it into various forms of attack. You could become the ultimate threat to humanity or a benevolent savior of the world.

"I can be the ultimate threat to humanity, or a benevolent savior of the world?!"

"Omega Level!"

"My guess turned out to be correct!"

"I truly have become a god-level mutant!"

Orion's eyes widened.

In the next moment, as the [Omega Level] entry solidified, he felt an all-encompassing cosmic energy rushing towards him like a surging river!

Every cell in his body, every muscle, bone, organ, and tissue roared with violent excitement. He could barely contain his exhilaration!

Even the total amount of magic power within him broke through all limits at that moment and no longer had any upper bound!

In other words, he had virtually no mana bar!

As long as the universe endures, his magic power would never run out!

Of course, upgrading [X-Factor] to [Omega Level] didn't eliminate its effects.

Instead, [Omega Level] encompassed all the benefits of [X-Factor]!

He could absorb various forms of attacks, delay aging through energy, combat common plagues and diseases, remain sleepless, and forgo eating entirely!

"I am invincible!"

"That seems unlucky."

As Orion basked in his newfound confidence, a sudden realization struck him.

There was also a control device called a neck ring in the Sentinel Special Service.

A neck ring could suppress the effectiveness of the X-Factor in mutants!

In the play, the Sentinel robots evolved into a complete form and successfully eradicated all mutants!

It might be premature to celebrate now!

Who knew how advanced the scientists at Trask Industries had made the Sentinel robots?

"Emilia."

"Do you know much about Trask Industries?"

Orion asked tentatively, his eyes narrowing.

"Trask Industries?"

"Why do you bring this up?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Emilia's eyes.

Could it be that…

Joker is not an alien but a long-awakened mutant?

Mutants have all sorts of strange abilities, so this isn't impossible!

"Haha."

"I just heard about the tragic fate of mutants."

"Wanted to help."

"Just imagine, if mutants' extraordinary abilities were enhanced, they could establish their own nation…"

"And human governments would be thrown into chaos."

"Don't you find it interesting?"

Orion's acting was flawless, hiding any hint of his true intentions, leaving Emilia even more confused.

"Establish a mutant nation?"

"Joker… why would you have such an idea?"

Emilia blinked, puzzled.

Suddenly, a group of mysterious figures appeared at the port of Macau.

Dressed in suits and ties, armed with guns, they swiftly surrounded Padrit's temporary residence!

The thugs in suits bore tattoos resembling the Yashida family crest!
