Chapter 16: New Technique

After dealing with several diligent security guards, Alex slowly walked into Stark Tower, intending to witness the birth of the supervillain Iron Monger. Just then, a massive arc drew his attention.

Through his Six Eyes, he saw terrifying energy leaping before him, like a beautiful cake waiting to be tasted.

He immediately put Iron Monger out of his mind. What was Iron Monger compared to energy?

Using the fine control of his Six Eyes, he siphoned off a large amount of energy from the giant arc reactor and began absorbing it gradually.

[Energy Points +1]

[Energy Points +1]

[Energy Points +1]

...

For the first time since his energy absorption had reached level 3, Alex was operating at overload, frantically absorbing energy! He invested all the energy points into his character template, with the fusion degree jumping every few minutes!

Template Fusion Degree: 28%

Template Fusion Degree: 29%

Template Fusion Degree: 30%

When the fusion degree reached 30%, a flood of memories surged into Alex's mind. It was an advanced technique for manipulating cursed energy—Black Flash!

In the world of Jujutsu Kaisen, when a physical strike and a cursed energy impact hit almost simultaneously, with a margin of error within 0.000001 seconds, a spatial distortion occurs! The attack's power at that moment is 2.5 times the usual!

This is a scalable technique that increases in power as the user's strength grows! Due to the nearly impossible conditions required, no sorcerer can use Black Flash with 100% certainty.

Thus, this powerful technique can only be performed through luck.

However, Alex was different...

With the extraordinary abilities of Six Eyes and energy absorption from different worlds, his control over energy would far exceed that of Satoru Gojo. In the future, he could potentially execute Black Flash with 100% certainty!

At that point, by enhancing his body with energy absorption and cursed energy manipulation, Alex could even engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Hulk!

As Alex continued to absorb energy, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise from behind. Turning around, he saw Pepper Potts, who had just escaped with her life.

But, for some reason, when he turned to look at Pepper, she let out a piercing scream, her legs trembling as she stumbled and dashed out of Stark Tower.

Standing there, Alex was puzzled. He slowly restrained the crazed and joyful smile on his face and stopped absorbing electrical energy, allowing the room around him, ravaged by the energy, to have a break.

He deeply questioned himself:

"Do I really look that scary?"

...

Pepper Potts escaped from Stark Tower and immediately looked back. Seeing that the terrifying white-haired mutant wasn't following, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She had initially thought that most of the news reports were exaggerated. However, upon seeing the White-Haired Mutant, she realized that those reports were not only accurate but that reality was even more terrifying than the news. The White-Haired Mutant was too horrifying!

Thinking about that crazed smile and the white-haired figure amidst the terrifying electric currents, Pepper shivered again.

"Pepper..."

Just then, she heard Tony's voice in her ear.

Before Tony could say anything else, she immediately said, "Tony, the White-Haired Mutant... the White-Haired Mutant is here too!"

Tony Stark was full of confusion. Wasn't it supposed to be Obadiah? Why was it suddenly the White-Haired Mutant?

However, there was no time for him to think further because Pepper let out a scream, clearly in danger!

Tony Stark increased his thrust power again, his speed rising, and within seconds, he saw Iron Monger aiming a weapon at Pepper.

Without any hesitation, he braved the hail of bullets and rammed Iron Monger, smashing through several walls until they landed on a road!

*Boom!*

The two continued to fight on the road, with Tony Stark completely on the defensive. Even after leading Iron Monger to high altitude and using the high-altitude freezing phenomenon to make him fall, he couldn't take Iron Monger down.

In the end, as Tony Stark was about to instruct Pepper to open all circuits to trigger the arc reactor explosion, he heard the sound of clear footsteps nearby.

"Oh my, such a powerful energy source, it would be a shame if it were destroyed..."

The sudden voice made both Tony Stark and Iron Monger look towards the source of the sound.

Before the person spoke, their detection systems hadn't registered any presence!

They first saw a flash of white hair, then the sparkling azure eyes shining in the night sky, and a handsome face with a mischievous smile.

Then, they heard the mysterious white-haired man say to Tony Stark, "I'll kill Obadiah for you. How about you give me an arc reactor?"

Tony Stark immediately commanded Jarvis, "Jarvis, check his background!"

Jarvis responded instantly, "He should be Alex, an Omega level mutant who appeared in Manhattan a few days ago and fought another mutant."

Simultaneously, Jarvis displayed Alex's detailed information and various abilities on the projection in front of Tony Stark.

Seeing the terrifying blue-black holes and the eerie red-black singularities, Tony Stark was bewildered.

Had such massive changes occurred in the outside world while he was modifying the Mark II?

After reviewing the information, Tony Stark didn't hesitate and directly said to Alex, "Deal!"

Obadiah witnessed the entire exchange between Alex and Tony Stark.

Although he couldn't believe a human could possess such astonishing power, he didn't want any more complications. So, he said to Alex, "White-Haired Mutant, help me kill Tony, and I'll pay you $100 million and give you three arc reactors!"

He looked at Alex confidently, waiting for the White-Haired Mutant to succumb to the money.

But to his surprise, the White-Haired Mutant sneered and said mockingly, "You? Do you even know how to make an arc reactor?"

Obadiah fell silent immediately. He indeed didn't know how to make an arc reactor. He had intended to deceive the mutant and then kill him once it was over, not even planning to give the promised $100 million.

Seeing his plan exposed, Obadiah sighed and then said nonchalantly, "Brat, it's best not to pretend to be too smart."

Suddenly, Obadiah controlled the Iron Monger to use all its power and rapidly attack Alex.

He intended to kill the sudden mutant immediately. How could a human possess such powerful abilities as shown in the video?

Dense ammunition and the massive iron fist of Iron Monger almost arrived simultaneously. Just as Tony Stark and Obadiah thought Alex was doomed, they witnessed a shocking scene.

Neither the dense ammunition nor the giant fist of Iron Monger could advance an inch past Alex.

Then, they saw the mysterious mutant named Alex swing his seemingly slender arm towards the much larger Iron Monger.

Boom!

Terrifying black lightning exploded at the point where the fist met Iron Monger!

The massive Iron Monger was sent flying by a single punch from a human, crashing through layers of walls and shattering large metal objects, eventually landing on the distant road, embedded in a wall on the side!
