Chapter 28

Not only the onlookers, but also the audience were left with their mouths agape.

Even Magneto and Professor X showed a flicker of surprise in their eyes.

Before they could recover from their shock, the young man made his move.

His figure vanished from the spot, reappeared ten meters away, and then disappeared again…

In two blinks, he was incredibly close to Captain George and his men.

"Stop him!"

Captain George frowned.

The prepared snipers fired towards where the young man might appear next.

The remaining three Sentinel robots also launched an attack.

"Black Particles!"

[Black Particle Experience +1]

To the astonishment of Wolverine Logan and others, the black particles instantly penetrated the body of a Sentinel spider, rendering its unusually tough body ineffective.

In a flash of electricity, the Sentinel spider convulsed and collapsed to the ground.

[Spatial Transfer Experience +1]

[Spatial Transfer Experience +1]

[Black Particle Experience +1]

While dodging, Syd didn't forget to fire black particles towards the distant soldiers.

Simultaneously, he used a move he had never shown before.

"Spiritual Light Column!"

[Spiritual Light Column Experience +1]

A brilliant blue energy column erupted from beneath a soldier.

Screams echoed as the soldier was instantly split in two, the scene gruesomely bloody.

"Oh God, help!"

"My heavens!"

Cries of horror rose up.

Watching his comrade Raylan die horrifically, Herman was stunned.

Just moments ago, Raylan had been joking around, confident that the mutant fugitive couldn't escape…

Herman muttered to himself, "Wasn't it said that this mutant could only absorb sunlight, teleport, and emit black energy waves?"

What was happening now?

First, the ability to rebound bullets, and now this blue energy column?!

Was this person as easy to deal with as Captain George had said?

At that moment, Herman roared inwardly, fear of the young man growing in his heart.

What kind of monster is this?

To possess so many mutant abilities!

Not just him, but Captain George and Captain Kenny were also in disbelief nearby.

Not to mention the ease with which the Sentinel robots were destroyed, the kid had hidden more abilities?

"Captain Kenny, didn't you say he could hide some of his strength, that he had reached his limit?"

"Why does he still have other abilities hidden?"

Captain George shouted in disbelief.

Kenny was equally shocked, murmuring, "God, how could he still have hidden strengths?"

"Does Number 37 have so many superpowers?"

He couldn't help but feel perplexed.

Nearby, Logan finally understood how the young man had so easily destroyed the robot's legs.

What kind of mutant power is this?

Otto and Valentine felt similarly shocked.

However, what shocked them the most was that this mysterious young man possessed more than one ability!

"He said he only had teleportation, right?"

"So what are all these?"

Look at what they had seen, just in a moment's time, they had witnessed about four different superpowers!

"It's unbelievable!"

The young man, already mysterious in their minds, had now become even more enigmatic.

Beside them, Chris was also feeling mixed emotions.

He couldn't believe it.

His impression of the young man was still based on when he fought those ten people.

Although he was strong then, he wasn't nearly as powerful as now!

When did he become so strong?

Do mutants enhance their powers this quickly?

And…

"Does this kid have too many mutant abilities?"

Chris wondered.

While those on-site were stunned, the viewers watching the livestream had diverse thoughts.

"This mutant is so powerful?"

"Heavens, he's much stronger than the other mutants; they were powerful, but definitely not this strong. One person can withstand a group of soldiers?"

"I think I'm going to have insomnia now, how can someone be this powerful…"

While ordinary viewers were shocked, watching mutants were equally astounded.

This guy is too powerful?!

Why does he have so many abilities?

The mutants were filled with confusion, and also some envy and jealousy.

Professor X and Magneto displayed unusual expressions.

Professor X saw great potential in the boy, though not as much as in an Omega-level mutant, but still impressive!

With some training and mastery of his abilities, he could definitely become a qualified X-Man!

As for Magneto, his eyes gleamed with admiration, watching the boy decisively slaughter ordinary humans, liking him more and more, the idea of recruiting him growing stronger in his mind.

As they each had their thoughts, Syd in the midst of the battle suddenly called out to Logan and the others, "You guys leave here first, I'll come find you later."

Logan and his companions, catching their breath behind cover, were initially startled, then also realized that staying might only hinder the situation.

So, they began evacuating, supporting the limp Valentine as they moved away from the fray.

Captain George and his men wanted to stop them, but they were too preoccupied with Syd to act effectively. In a short span, Syd had taken down over a dozen men.

"Number 37, stop!" Captain Kenny shouted grimly.

Syd paused, almost laughing out of irritation.

Did they really think he would stop after everything they had done?

Without hesitation, he fired a black particle towards Kenny.

Although Kenny narrowly escaped, the close call left him sweating coldly.

Syd frowned slightly, instinctively wanting to use spatial transfer to approach.

But before he could act on the impulse, he saw George unbuttoning his shirt to reveal a row of bombs strapped to his chest. Clearly, this was a precaution against Syd's potential spatial transfer attack.

If he dared to move closer, George was prepared to detonate the bombs, hoping to take Syd down with him.

Syd grimaced.

He couldn't risk it. It was uncertain whether the bomb would detonate quicker than his spatial transfer or if he could outpace George's reaction.

If George anticipated the spatial transfer and detonated the bombs early, Syd could run right into an explosion…

Syd wasn't willing to gamble with his life.

"If only the black particles were level three…"

Syd sighed.

Given that his level two black particles had a range of fifteen meters, he still couldn't reach George effectively.

If the black particles were level three, the range would certainly increase, and then…

Syd pondered deeply, considering even using extra photonic energy stored in his body to enhance the black particles.

However, he was uncertain if that would increase their range.

Moreover, rather than increasing his expenditure to enhance the black particles, he might as well use the Sunburst…
