The greatest good is like water, which benefits all things and does not contend.
Sebastian Shaw's body was quickly enveloped by a large mass of water.
[Another multi-powered Mutant!]
Finding out that Han Shaoqing could also use Hydrokinesis, Sebastian Shaw panicked a little and immediately tried to break free from the water flow.
However, everything has its strengths and weaknesses. Hydrokinesis isn't a top-tier ability among Mutants, but it can effectively counter Sebastian Shaw.
Under Han Shaoqing's control, the water followed him like a shadow, not giving Sebastian Shaw any chance to escape.
Soon, Sebastian Shaw couldn't hold his breath and swallowed several mouthfuls of water.
Drowning is a physiological phenomenon. His superpowers couldn't be used at all in the water. Even if he could absorb a little buoyant energy, he couldn't solve the problem of asphyxiation.
Aside from his ability to absorb energy, Sebastian Shaw was no different from an ordinary person. He still needed to eat, sleep, and breathe.
Given his physique, he could only last a few minutes in the water before he would drown.
"Gurgle... gurgle..."
Submerged in the water, Sebastian Shaw found it difficult to breathe. The intense feeling of suffocation and his will to survive forced him to release the energy stored within his body, causing the water sphere to explode.
But before he could catch his breath, the water that had been blasted away re-converged, re-enveloping him, and not giving him a chance to breathe.
At this critical moment, Azazel returned. He had, seemingly from nowhere, snatched a bus and teleported it high into the sky, throwing it towards Han Shaoqing below.
"Ah!!!"
The bus still had its driver and more than a dozen ordinary passengers, all screaming as they plummeted.
Seeing that the bus was about to land, Han Shaoqing, with one hand raised towards the sky, released a surge of anti-gravity, steadily suspending the bus and the people within it in mid-air.
This action inevitably caused a lapse in his focus.
Azazel was waiting for this moment. While Han Shaoqing was distracted controlling the bus, his control over the water flow inevitably weakened. Azazel seized the opportunity, teleporting into the water and grabbing Sebastian Shaw. Without hesitation, he immediately teleported a thousand miles away.
"Cough, cough!"
Free from the water's embrace, Sebastian Shaw, looking like a drowned chicken, coughed up several mouthfuls of water and gasped for air.
If it weren't for Azazel's timely rescue, he would have either suffocated or been drowned.
Having narrowly escaped death, Sebastian Shaw took off his helmet with lingering fear and said earnestly, "It seems I'll have to prepare an underwater breathing apparatus from now on!"
Azazel, also panting, sat down on the ground, his eyes filled with apprehension, "That Chinese kid's abilities should be Gravity Control and Hydrokinesis. We must find a way to deal with him; otherwise, the consequences will be endless."
The Gravity Control field could restrict his teleportation to a certain extent. The thought of being stepped on by the other party, yet unable to fight back, made Azazel seethe with killing intent.
If he hadn't been outmatched, he would have loved to poke a hundred holes in Han Shaoqing.
Sebastian Shaw recovered his strength and stood up, looking into the distance: "He is indeed a formidable opponent. We need more help!"
CIA base.
Han Shaoqing gently set down the bus. The people inside scrambled out, unharmed except for some minor scratches and fright.
These people didn't know what was going on. They were suddenly sent into the sky and then taken by CIA agents. After signing a confidentiality agreement, they were allowed to leave.
Under the attack of Sebastian Shaw and others, the CIA base suffered varying degrees of damage, with 68 agents dead and over a hundred injured.
Many people harbored resentment and fear towards Mutants.
The Mutant side, however, was fine; Darwin hadn't died, and Salvatore hadn't left.
The CIA, outwardly polite towards Han Shaoqing and Artoria, who had displayed powerful abilities, covertly dispatched agents to accelerate investigations and gather information on the two.
The CIA's actions couldn't escape Han Shaoqing's notice, but he didn't take them seriously.
He and Artoria weren't originally from this world; it would be a miracle if the CIA could uncover their true identities.
The next day at noon, Charles, Erik, and Moira returned.
They didn't look well. Charles had several bruises, and Erik's left arm was broken and in a cast, looking seriously injured.
This scene wasn't in the original storyline. Han Shaoqing stepped forward and asked, "What happened? How did Erik get injured like this?"
Charles breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Raven and the others were safe. He secretly used Telepathy to check Raven's memories and understood the situation from last night's battle. Then, he said, "When we were in Moscow, we didn't find Sebastian Shaw. We only saw Emma Frost, the White Queen."
Han Shaoqing looked puzzled. "If it was just the White Queen, you should have been able to handle her."
"Yes, we had already captured the White Queen, but then we encountered a Mutant. He was incredibly powerful!"
Charles looked at Han Shaoqing. "His name is Namor, and he also calls himself the Sea King. He wields a Golden Trident, also possesses Telepathy, and his strength and speed far exceed the limits of humans. He can fly and release energy attacks. We weren't a match for him. If Erik hadn't erupted and driven him back, we probably wouldn't have made it back!"
"Namor, I didn't expect him to intervene."
Han Shaoqing thought to himself, Is this due to the butterfly effect?
Moira stepped forward and said, "Do you know Namor? According to CIA data, Namor fought alongside Captain America during World War II. We don't know why he would side with Shaw and the others this time!"
"I know him. He's actually my cousin."
Han Shaoqing spoke off the cuff, not even batting an eyelid.
With the same abilities as Aquaman, Han Shaoqing and Namor did indeed have a lot in common. If the two were to stand together, it would be easy to make the connection.
"Could you tell me about Namor? He's been gone for decades, why has he suddenly appeared?" Moira asked.
Han Shaoqing looked at Moira, "Are you doubting me?"
"I just want to know the truth."
Moira stared back at Han Shaoqing, not backing down.
She did suspect Han Shaoqing, and she had reason to.
Their trip to Moscow was supposed to be a top-secret mission, but they were attacked mid-way. The person who attacked them was also Han Shaoqing's so-called "cousin." How could there be so many coincidences in this world?
"If you don't trust me, then I'll leave."
Han Shaoqing gestured to Artoria and made a move to leave.
Raven hurried forward, trying to persuade them, "I believe Aquaman has nothing to do with this. He was the one who drove off Shaw last night and saved a lot of people."
Charles heard this and glanced between Han Shaoqing and Raven. He sighed inwardly and said, "Moira, I believe Shaoqing is not the problem, and we need his power."
"If Aquaman leaves, we leave too."
Salvatore stepped forward to show his support.
Sean and the others also stood up, showing their willingness to advance and retreat with Han Shaoqing.
In their eyes, Han Shaoqing was the superhero who saved them. Besides, the CIA had always treated them like monsters, which made them dissatisfied.
Injured Erik glanced at Sean and the others, then looked meaningfully at Han Shaoqing. Finally, he spoke, "Shaw has already discovered this place. It's too dangerous to stay here. We need a new base of operations."
Charles suggested, "We can go to my place. It can serve as our new base."
Erik looked at Hank, Sean, and the others, and asked with a smile, "Will it be too crowded with so many of us?"
