Chapter 8 - GSIM Chapter 8: Level Five Mutant!

[Six Eyes lv2 (1/300): Possesses 360-degree long-distance vision, can see the flow of energy, and has astonishing dynamic vision, allowing the holder to perform precise energy manipulation.]

After the Six Eyes leveled up, the 360-degree long-distance vision was doubled, increasing from the original 200 meters to 500 meters.

This was the range for clear observation, the ability to clearly capture tiny targets, observe the specific flow of energy, and possess extremely strong dynamic capture capabilities.

If it was a blurry view, his vision extended even further, but then he would only be able to see, not clearly, just like an ordinary person.

In addition to this, leveling up to Level 2 also awakened another ability: X-ray vision!

His Six Eyes could now penetrate steel plates about 10 centimeters thick, allowing him to see the internal situation. Unlike the Byakugan, the vision was not black and white; he could see things in color and with extreme clarity.

"Isn't this just..."

Obtaining one of the superpowers he had most desired in his previous life so easily made Sean feel a little lackluster.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Sean spotted several drones speeding toward his location in his expanded field of vision.

Further away, a fully armed unit was visible, rapidly advancing, right behind the drones.

This was definitely not retaliation from Wilson Fisk, nor was it the work of a gang. Where would they get such sophisticated equipment?

This was the power of the military; it must be the secret unit specialized in capturing mutants!

In a brief moment, the drones were close. Sean showed a sinister smile to the cameras on the drones, and then the azure blue black hole swallowed all the drones.

Afterward, he used Cursed Energy to strengthen his body and quickly left the area.

Sean knew from the original owner's memories that this unit included mutants who had joined the military, and their strength was not to be underestimated.

Even with the Limitless Cursed Technique, facing various bizarre and specialized abilities was not safe.

He was currently in the fastest period of his growth, so there was no need to fight the military head-on.

What he needed now was to continuously absorb energy and increase his template fusion rate. Once he awakened the Reverse Cursed Technique, he would have absolutely no worries!

(Note: The Reverse Cursed Technique possesses powerful healing effects.)

...

In a hidden military base, numerous screens lined the walls.

Suddenly, several screens went dark almost simultaneously, indicating that at least a few drones had been destroyed at the same time in a very short period!

Noticing this, a serious-faced, ruthless-eyed middle-aged man wearing a colonel's rank asked a soldier:

"What happened?"

The soldier immediately stood up and reported to the middle-aged man:

"Colonel Stryker, a mutation occurred during the capture of target number 9527. The target seems to have undergone a secondary awakening, gaining other mutant abilities!"

A flash of sharp light crossed Stryker's eyes. He then walked up to the screen and said to the soldier:

"Pull up the image just before the drone was destroyed."

The soldier immediately projected the image recorded just before the drone's destruction onto the largest screen.

The drone flew forward, and soon a tall, slender man with white hair appeared on the screen.

When the drone paused in the air, aiming its camera at the white-haired man, the man gave a grin to the camera, and then an azure blue black hole the size of a basketball materialized in his hand, hurtling toward the lens. The screen immediately went black, indicating the drone's destruction.

Pulling up the recordings from the other few drones showed the same situation. The unknown azure blue black hole was extremely fast, destroying all the drones in a blink of an eye!

Colonel Stryker's expression was serious. He had some impression of target number 9527, as his ability was similar to that of an extremely powerful mutant from a few decades ago.

And that mutant was a terrifying entity capable of absorbing nuclear energy!

But target number 9527's energy was too weak; he couldn't even fully absorb the kinetic energy of an ordinary person's punch, so Stryker hadn't paid him much attention.

He hadn't expected him to reappear now, having awakened other abilities.

Stryker reviewed the footage several times, finally pausing the frame on the azure blue black hole.

The offensive capability of this black hole was clearly very strong, capable of easily tearing metal and destroying drones.

Furthermore, 9527 also demonstrated another ability: extremely broad sensory capability.

He was clearly waiting for the drones to arrive, having already detected their movements.

And the transformation of target number 9527's hair to white and his pupils to azure blue also piqued his curiosity.

The recording played again, stopping at the sinister grin.

Colonel Stryker showed a cold smile, then gave his order,

"Full effort to capture 9527. He has great research value! Deploy Subjects 1085 and 1086 to assist in the capture. Subject 1086's spatial attack should be able to break through 9527's defense!"

After giving the order, he muttered to himself,

"A provocation? Then you shall have what you wished for!"

...

1407 Graymalkin Lane, The Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, inside a hidden laboratory.

Jean Grey handed a report to Professor X,

"Professor, we've detected unusual activity from Stryker's unit. They seem to be mobilizing most of their forces to capture a mutant numbered 9527!"

"9527?"

For the same reason as Stryker, Professor X was also highly familiar with the mutant whom Stryker had named 9527.

It reminded him of the most formidable enemy he had ever faced, the Black King—Sebastian Shaw.

Thinking back, if not for good fortune, he and Erik would likely never have been able to kill him!

However, target number 9527, a young Asian man whose real name was Sean Murry, had a very low power ceiling and was extremely weak even among Level 1 mutants; his ability was practically useless.

This was why he hadn't paid much attention and hadn't immediately invited him to join the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters.

He hadn't expected to see his name among Stryker's targets now.

Professor X understood Stryker. If Sean was worthless, he wouldn't waste significant energy capturing him.

The concentrated effort to capture him now must mean that Sean had undergone some mysterious change.

So he immediately used Cerebro to locate Sean, hoping to invite him to join the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters before Stryker did.

But...

"Why is Sean's consciousness absent? I could clearly sense it before..."

Even for Jean Grey, who possessed infinite potential, he could sense the presence of her consciousness.

Could it be...

Professor X suddenly realized something. Could the mysterious change that occurred in Sean be related to this?

And could it actually block his mental intrusion, even preventing him from sensing it...

Did Sean possess the potential of a Level 5 Mutant?

Or—had he already become a Level 5 Mutant!

Thinking this, Professor X immediately said to Jean Grey:

"Exert all efforts to find Sean's whereabouts. You must contact him before Stryker and Erik, recruit him, and bring him into the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters.

Sean—could very well be a Level 5 Mutant!"
