Chương 48: Ferocious Beast
And Logan... abruptly turned around and darted into the alley, vanishing into the shadows.
"Well, it seems... the fist can't convince them?" Alex remarked, shrugging and wearing a wry smile. "At least I got their DNA sample."
Adjusting his shirt, Alex nonchalantly turned to leave, prompting Charles to question the lone returnee. "You... came back alone? You couldn't convince him?"
"That's a wolf! Even if he is beaten, he will not become a dog. To tame the Beast, you need to have enough patience!" Alex explained with a casual shrug, picking up a wine glass as if to emphasize his point. Seating himself, he added, "Don't worry, he will be back sooner or later. He is destined to be your companion!"
"Well, I hope so," Charles replied, shaking his head in helpless amusement. "You guys play slowly!"
Uninterested in the youthful mutants' festivities, Alex waved his hand dismissively and returned to the room.
"The brothers' immortality ability is still worth the trouble," Alex muttered as he settled into a chair, preparing for the intricate process ahead.
"Fuck, it hurts!"
The painful transformation ensued as Alex integrated Wolverine's and Sabertooth's genes. Cells shattered and reborn, he grinned through the pain, thankful for the short duration of the process. Before long, Alex completed the gene integration.
"Fuck this is so amazing!" Alex marveled, feeling the surge of power within him. He understood that his abilities now surpassed those of Wolverine and Sabertooth.
Sebastian's 'Energy Absorption,' Wolverine's and Sabertooth's 'Immortality,' and Charles' psychic power—Alex now possessed an unparalleled combination.
"Now I am finally getting somewhere," Alex thought, a confident smile playing on his lips. In this perilous Marvel universe, death was no longer a concern.
[Ding]
[Alex has collected a certain gene and opened a gene strengthening template. He can strengthen the genes of others and develop his own power.]
A sudden system message echoed in Alex's mind. The ability to strengthen others' genes and eliminate all defects—it felt like a mutant superpower cheat code.
However, Alex couldn't help but express a peculiar sentiment. "Is the system trying to turn me into Apocalypse?" he mused. After all, Apocalypse possessed omniscient and omnipotent abilities, capable of strengthening other mutant genes.
After a brief rejuvenating wash, Alex emerged from the room, his spirits lifted with his newfound Immortal Ability.
....
As soon as he stepped outside, Charles and the others gathered around, greeting him, "Oh, what's up?"
"You came at the perfect time. We were just about to call you. We received a tip that Sebastian has arrived in Russia," Grete said, presenting a stack of materials and briefing Alex, Charles, and Eric on the situation.
"Sebastian's purpose is clear. He's pressuring the Russians to deploy nuclear missiles in Cuba. Everyone, we must stop him!"
"Leave it to us!" Charles closed the information, a confident smile playing on his lips as he remembered the exceptional mutants he had assembled. "Our team is about to shine."
"Charles, they are still a bunch of kids! I don't think they have this determination," Eric expressed his lack of confidence in the team.
"Eric, even if they are children, they are a group of outstanding children!" Charles declared, confidently putting away the folder and leaving the office.
Descending the stairs, Charles was met with a commotion. Music, laughter, and cheers echoed in front of him. "What's happening here?" he wondered aloud, quickly moving toward the source of the sound.
On the first floor of the office building, what was once a living room had transformed into a lively ballroom. Raven danced on a table, the dragonfly soared in mid-air, and Hank swung upside down from the ceiling fan, keeping pace with the beat. Jessica's Firework lit up the air in explosions of color, while Emma turned into a dazzling diamond under the light.
Darwin, ever the showman, became a rock, letting others take turns smashing stools on him. The room buzzed with screams and joy, evolving into a makeshift bar.
"What are you... doing?" Grete exclaimed.
The lively scene came to an abrupt halt as the young mutants froze, bowing their heads in silence. Eric shook his head in disappointment and left, while Charles, his face pale with anger, turned and followed suit.
"Well, a good dance party. Mind if I join?" Alex said with a smile, But the smile sent shivers down the spine if young mutants. After combining Wolverine's and Sabertooth's DNA. His presence inadvertently became that of a ferocious beast among a group of sheep.
