Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

When the gunfire finally stopped, the atmosphere in the laboratory was like that of the Arctic.

Many mercenaries suppressed their pain and screamed in low voices.

Those mercenaries who were still conscious huddled against the wall, their faces distorted with fear beneath their masks.

In their eyes, the figures of red bean buns and Doctor Octopus were no different from monsters.

One could elegantly break a person's wrist while hanging upside down from the ceiling, while another, with just six robotic arms, tore the entire tactical squad's firepower into a joke.

But amidst this deathly silence, a strange change suddenly occurred.

Three figures suddenly rose from the pile of fallen mercenaries.

Their movements were so fast that they almost exceeded the limits of human dynamic vision, even surpassing the speed previously demonstrated by Dou Sha Bao and Doctor Octopus.

The mercenary combat uniforms worn by the three men were torn apart at the same moment, revealing their different outfits underneath.

Those are dangerous mutants who appeared in the X-Men movies!

One of them was a red-skinned man who lashed out with a barbed tail and whose skin was covered with intricate and ancient patterns.

This is the mutant Azazel the Devil.

His ability is spatial teleportation; he acts unpredictably and excels at surprise attacks and assassinations.

He vanished in mid-air and reappeared a moment later directly above Dou Sha Bao's head, holding a military dagger upside down, and stabbed it fiercely towards her neck joint.

There was another woman who pushed her hands forward, and a visible, transparent shockwave instantly exploded in the air.

The shockwave tore through the air, producing a muffled sound like cannon fire, and blasted towards Doctor Octopus's robotic arm array.

That's the mutant Arkwright; her shockwaves are powerful enough to overturn armored vehicles and tear them to shreds.

She can generate shockwaves, possesses a physique comparable to a superhuman, and is particularly adept at large-scale destruction and direct attacks.

The last one was a black-haired Asian woman whose fingernails grew wildly as she leaped up, each one gleaming with the cold, sharp light characteristic of adamantium alloy.

The woman shot towards Doctor Octopus's lower body like an arrow released from a bow, skimming the ground.

She is the Death Woman, fused with adamantium.

She possesses adamantium nails and also has a healing factor from Wolverine.

The three worked together seamlessly, as if they had rehearsed countless times. Their complementary abilities resulted in a combined combat strength that far exceeded the sum of their individual stats.

Azazel the Demon was responsible for beheading the Bean Bun, Arkwright was responsible for suppressing Doctor Octopus's mechanical arm, and Death Woman took the opportunity to attack Doctor Octopus's Achilles tendon.

However, they are not only facing red bean buns and Doctor Octopus.

A tall figure appeared in the center of the laboratory at some point.

Shen Jue, dressed in a black priest's robe, immediately attracted the attention of all the screaming mercenaries.

Shen Jue gently raised her right hand.

The first to arrive was Arkwright's shockwave.

The shockwave, powerful enough to shatter steel plates, crashed into Doctor Octopus, but as it passed Shen Jue, it seemed to have encountered some insurmountable barrier.

The shockwave created a ripple in the air before dissipating silently, without even disturbing the stray hairs on Shen Jue's forehead.

Shen Jue flicked his finger, as if shooing away a fly.

The next second, Arkwright was sent flying by an unimaginable force, his body sliding across the ground for more than ten meters, smashing a whole row of experimental tables along the way.

Before she could even unleash her shockwave a second time, she was already embedded in the wall, her limbs hanging limply, blood gushing from her mouth and nose, her chest heaving so weakly it was almost imperceptible.

That superhuman physique, capable of withstanding light firearms fire, seemed as fragile as a sheet of paper in front of Shen Jue.

"The first one," Shen Jue said with a smile.

As Azazel's demonic dagger fell toward Dou Sha Bao's neck, Shen Jue didn't even look at him, but simply opened his palm above his head.

His figure was forced to appear in mid-air, the tip of his dagger already three centimeters above the armor on the back of Dou Sha Bao's neck, but he could not go any further.

The space behind him seemed to freeze, and the terrifying force of gravity gripped his entire body, with fine beads of blood even seeping from his red skin.

"Your teleportation ability is indeed very interesting," Shen Jue said, turning his head to the mutant.

"Unfortunately, within my perception range, spatial fluctuations are like a lighthouse in a dark sea."

His fingers slowly closed.

The demon Azazel screamed as the dagger slipped from his hand, his limbs snapped backward, and his bones groaned as if they were about to shatter.

Then, pulled by gravity, he was thrown towards the ceiling and then crashed down from mid-air.

The demonic red-skinned man smashed through an alloy control panel, the barbs on his tail getting stuck in the twisted metal.

Gravity manipulation, like an infinitely compressed and contracted dense sphere, enveloped the demon Azazel, preventing him from ever getting up again and rendering him unable to activate his mutant abilities.

"The second one."

The Death Woman was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, she was less than half a meter away from Doctor Octopus. Her ten fingers formed claws, and her adamantium nails slashed horizontally at Doctor Octopus's knee joint.

A hand reached out from the side.

Shen Jue appeared, his movements casual, as if he were picking a flower from a flowerbed.

His two fingers precisely caught the wrist that the woman of death had swung out.

The woman's expression suddenly changed.

She hadn't felt this kind of bewilderment in battle for a long time.

Her speed and strength have been modified to overwhelm most opponents in close-quarters combat.

But now, the other party only used two fingers, and those two fingers didn't exert any force.

She tried to pull her wrist back, but it wouldn't budge.

"Oh?" Shen Jue lowered his head, his gaze falling on her cold-smelling nails.

"Adamantium alloy".

He showed an interested expression.

The woman of death suddenly thrust out her other hand, her five alloy fingernails aimed straight for Shen Jue's eyes.

Shen Jue moved her lips slightly: "I told you not to rush."

"Little sister."

The moment the words left her lips, the Death Woman was blasted back by a force, her feet carving two deep furrows into the floor.

Her body crashed through the wall behind her, her alloy fingernails drawing five ear-piercing sparks on the ground.

Before she could regain her footing, Shen Jue was already standing in front of her, one hand behind his back and the other gently resting on her head.

"What adorable mutants."

Shen Jue's fingertips touched the woman's hair, and curiosity appeared in her calm eyes.

That's the kind of light that researchers get when they see a new species.

"X gene".

He uttered those two words softly, his voice carrying a strange rhythm.

"What an interesting creation."

The woman's pupils contracted sharply. She felt an invisible force penetrating her body, like countless tiny tentacles burrowing into her bloodstream, traveling along her nerves, reaching deep into her cells, and touching the secrets buried within the double helix.

"No wonder." Shen Jue nodded slightly and withdrew his finger.

"This potential, which originates from the genes themselves, is completely different from the logic of purely mechanical creations, and is also fundamentally different from superhumans produced through experimental mutations."

He turned around, looking at Arkwright embedded in the wall, and then at the Azazel demon being manipulated and controlled by gravity.

The woman remained motionless, a bead of cold sweat sliding down the forehead of Wolverine's nemesis.

Even the woman who had killed countless people only experienced a fear that she couldn't feel from the information and live television broadcasts when she was truly on the opposite side of Shen Jue!

This is no opponent humanity should face! The Death Woman roared inwardly!

She dared not make any movement, afraid of provoking Shen Jue's reaction.

That terrifying intuition had already told her that even with her self-healing ability, it would be an easy task for Shen Jue to kill her.

"Three mutants, three different ways of expressing their abilities." Shen Jue's lips slowly curled up, revealing a gentle yet chilling smile.

"Shockwaves, spatial jumps, and self-healing factors and adamantium alloys."

"It should be put to my use," Shen Jue said in a low voice.

Dou Sha Bao walked happily to Shen Jue's side like a jubilant young girl, looking up at him.

"Father, if you want to spare my life, I was almost stabbed in the back of the neck by that red-skinned man." She touched the armor on the back of her neck, where there wasn't even a scratch.

"He doesn't have that ability," Shen Jue said calmly.

Doctor Octopus retracted his robotic arm, walked to Shen Jue's side, and bowed slightly.

A trace of lingering excitement remained on that ferocious face.

"Father Shen Jue, these mutants are very strong. If you hadn't personally intervened, Miss Doushabao and I might have won, but it would have been quite a struggle."

"That's why I took action," Shen Jue said.

The lizard doctor, who was being deliberately protected by Shen Jue, remained silent. Having lost his ability to transform into a giant lizard, he was now completely powerless and could only remain a nobody.

"These mercenaries are just cannon fodder and cover. The real trump card is these three mutants hidden among them."

"Their X gene is more malleable than I expected."

Shen Jue paused for a moment, then suddenly chuckled.

"It's so nice to be able to stay at home."

"The experimental materials were delivered to my door automatically."

"I like to tell the truth, I'm getting a little craving for that mutant gene pool."

Time suddenly turned into a pool of frozen amber.

When Quicksilver burst into the lab, he was wearing a pair of silver-white headphones with an upbeat rock song playing.

He likes to listen to music when he's at his peak, because when everything around him slows down to almost a standstill, music becomes the only thing that's still flowing.

But what this carefree mutant didn't notice was that Shen Jue's gaze had already locked onto him the moment he barged into the laboratory.
