=====

The boy's golden eyes gazed quietly at them.

The wind blew his cloak, making it flap noisily.

An intangible aura gradually emanated from him.

Ethereal, mysterious, otherworldly…

Staring at the black-clad youth floating in the air, everyone was stunned.

Floating? 

Flying? 

The soldiers' stern faces froze instantly.

Henrik, the leader of the underground mutant organization, looked up, his eyes filled with astonishment as he gazed at the boy in the sky.

Outside the encirclement, other mutants from the underground organization were also dumbfounded.

What? He can fly too?

Colonel Kage's mouth dropped open, the cigarette falling to the ground unnoticed, a testament to his shock.

Was there a mistake in the intelligence? 

No one had mentioned that this guy could fly!

In the distance, the gathered residents were so surprised their eyes almost popped out, their faces full of disbelief.

What did they just see? A mutant boy walking step by step through the air from the fourth floor?

And then hovering in place? 

Flying? 

Flying! This boy actually had the power of flight! 

Unbelievable! 

Inconceivable!

Just as they thought it was over, an ethereal sound began to play, as if heralding his presence.

Sacred, solemn, mysterious, otherworldly…

What was that sound?

"What's happening?"

"This is…"

Listening, everyone—from the regular soldiers to Colonel Kage, the underground mutants, and the distant residents—felt an overwhelming sense of tension and fear.

The source of their anxiety was…

Their gazes involuntarily turned towards the youth in the air, his black cloak fluttering.

Gradually, they sensed a change in the boy's aura, his presence growing stronger.

Like all things, yet godlike…

He seemed to be the center of the world…

At that moment, countless people were left in awe.

He looked almost divine…

How could a mutant be this terrifying?

Everyone present was in disbelief, feeling suffocated by the oppressive atmosphere.

Boom.

The dark, stormy sky behind the boy, punctuated with flashes of lightning, added to their sense of suffocation.

It was as if they were mere ants attempting to defy a god!

In the face of this overwhelming pressure, their hearts raced with fear.

Finally, Henrik bit his lip and snapped back to reality.

Staring at the youth in the air, his black cloak blowing in the wind, Henrik gritted his teeth and shouted, "Stop pretending to be a god, kid! Do you think this will make us retreat?"

"Impossible!"

With his shout, the stunned crowd quickly regained their senses.

"Yeah, why should we be afraid of just one mutant when we have so many people?"

"Just a mutant. What's the big deal? He'll die under our firepower!"

A burly soldier's loud declaration quickly calmed the crowd, who felt he was right.

Exactly, why be afraid of a mere mutant? 

Nonsense!

With a hundred people surrounding him, could this boy really hold out?

No matter how powerful he was, he would die under their firepower!

Colonel Kage also realized this and said with satisfaction, "Attack!"

At his command, a dozen soldiers came forward, carrying long black launchers.

At the front of each launcher was a small rocket—rocket launchers!

Boom, boom, boom…

White smoke filled the air as the rockets flew at three hundred meters per second, practically invisible to the naked eye, streaking towards the boy.

The next second!

Boom, boom, boom!

Fireballs erupted, and the heat waves swept across the area.

Those close by had to raise their arms to shield themselves from the scorching heat.

Seeing the fireballs engulf everything within a ten-meter radius, the distant residents covered their mouths in horror.

Watching the blazing fire, they began to chatter.

"Horrible. That boy must be ashes by now."

"So tragic!"

At the center of the battlefield, Henrik looked surprised, taken aback by the rockets' power.

Beside him, Colonel Kage, with a satisfied expression, explained, "These are anti-tank rockets. Even a tank would be destroyed by so many."

So…

Henrik looked disappointed and scoffed, "Is that all?"

"This kid wasn't so impressive after all. I thought he was much stron—"

Just as Colonel Kage was feeling pleased and Henrik was showing disdain, and the onlookers thought the boy was dead, an unexpected scene unfolded.

The fire dissipated, revealing the boy, unscathed.

Not only was he unharmed, but his clothes were also intact!

"How is that possible?"

"Is this guy even human?"

"He doesn't have a steel body. How can he, with a flesh-and-blood body, withstand so many powerful rockets without a scratch?"

"Not even his clothes…"

Countless people were stunned.

Henrik's eyes showed astonishment, not understanding what had happened.

Meanwhile, Colonel Kage, recalling something, showed a look of disbelief.

"The information was true?"

"He can block attacks?"

"Even…"

As he thought more, Colonel Kage gritted his teeth, believing the boy's ability had a limit; they just hadn't reached it yet.

He regretted not bringing a nuclear rocket launcher. That would have definitely overwhelmed him!

Not good!

Suddenly realizing something, Colonel Kage's face changed, and he began to retreat quietly.

Sure enough, soon after, with a shocked expression, he saw the boy still floating calmly in the air. But in front of him, flames suddenly appeared.

The flames, as if propelled by some force, quickly crossed dozens of meters, heading straight for Colonel Kage and his men.

Boom!

Several soldiers were engulfed in the flames, screaming.

Colonel Kage felt relieved.

Good thing he had moved away…

Then he looked at Henrik, who was also engulfed in flames.

"Is this guy dead…"

As the flames dissipated, the scene that unfolded once again stunned everyone.

The leader of the underground mutant organization, Henrik, stood there with a sneer, unharmed, not even having moved.

However, unlike the boy above, Henrik's body appeared translucent, like a phantom.

"Haha, the leader is invincible!"

"The leader's power is still unmatched!"
