Chapter 63 Awakening Mutant Abilities

Follow Magneto as he travels across the island.

After navigating several turns and crossing a steel bridge levitated by Magneto's powers, the group entered the laboratory built by the mutants.

The entire laboratory was built inside the mountain. Upon arrival, Bai Ye examined the highly futuristic-looking instrument in front of him and asked, "Is this the mutant conversion device you built?"

Magneto nodded gravely: "If you're not mistaken, then this is just a failed experiment."

"There's no need to try to become a giant overnight. Maybe you can try to improve it and fix the flaws," Bai Ye said casually.

As the group was talking, the door behind them slowly opened, and Mystique pushed in a man who was strapped to a wheelchair.

The person identified is a current U.S. senator who has been advocating for a mutant registration bill and holds a hostile attitude towards mutants, which is why Magneto targeted him.

Behind Mystique were Sabretooth and Toadman. When Sabretooth saw the people next to Magneto, his heart sank. He didn't say anything and silently hid to the side.

"What do you mutants want?" the man in the wheelchair, who was tightly bound, asked Magneto in a panic.

"We just want you to cooperate with us in an experiment," Magneto said to Bai Ye with a smile. "The experiment is about to begin. Stand next to him and take the test together."

Bai Ye nodded and, under Xiao Taoqi's tense gaze, slowly walked towards the bound senator.

The senator's expression changed instantly upon seeing Bai Ye's face, clearly recognizing him: "You...you're a mutant too?"

"Not now, but it will be soon," Bai Ye said, showing no intention of explaining in detail to the dead man.

As for whether or not to save the senator? Please, it wasn't him who harmed this man, so what business is it of his whether the other man lives or dies?

Soon, under the senator's uneasy gaze, Magneto stepped onto the conversion device, placed his hands on the buttons on both sides, and after the machine started, a strange suction force began to recklessly extract Magneto's mutant abilities.

In just a moment, Magneto's expression changed from peaceful to painful as his powers were extracted, and the cylindrical outer edge of the entire instrument began to rotate rapidly.

A soft white sphere of light began to expand outwards, engulfing everything on site and affecting the entire interior of the mountain.

All those who had awakened their mutant genes felt nothing while bathed in this light.

However, the only two people present who had not awakened their mutant genes, Bai Ye and the senator, felt their entire bodies trembling, and the mutant genes in their cells began to activate in the light.

"What abilities can I awaken?" Bai Ye wondered curiously, gazing at the sky filled with light, before his eyes fell on his attribute panel.

Description section:

Your genes underwent an ability induction, and the dormant genes in your body gradually awakened, taking a total of 2 hours, 15 minutes and 32 seconds.

Awakening probability:

[Virtualization] 53.32%

[Position] 24.35%

[Self-limited] 22.33%

……

"Does it take two hours to find out what my ability is? And these three abilities... is this a gacha-style awakening?" Bai Ye pondered, as the surrounding light contracted and finally disappeared.

"Mr. Bai, are you alright?" Seeing that everything was over, the little rascal ran over nervously and looked Bai Ye up and down.

"I feel fine, not much pain. It might take a few hours for the effects to appear," Bai Ye said with a smile. The whole process was actually not very painful.

"Genetic awakening won't happen so quickly. The machine's ability is just an inducement. You can rest here for today." Magneto struggled to his feet from the machine, breathing weakly.

Soon, under Mystique's arrangement, White Night, as a VIP, moved into a room on the island with Rogue.

Sitting cross-legged on the floor of the room, Bai Ye, who had no training equipment, began to slowly circulate his internal energy under the curious gaze of Xiao Taoqi.

In the quiet room, as Bai Ye circulated his Purple Cloud Divine Skill, a gentle breeze swirled around him, and the purple mist no longer just lingered on his face, but also enveloped his entire body in a hazy, indistinct way.

"What is this?" Little Mischief stared in surprise at the purple halo emanating from Bai Ye's skin as his internal energy flowed through his meridians, as solemn as a god or Buddha.

With Bai Ye's extraordinary hearing, he could hear the rushing sound of internal energy flowing through his meridians, like the Yangtze River rushing and flowing.

The two hours passed peacefully in Bai Ye's meditation. Taking advantage of the fragmented time to cultivate, his internal energy easily increased to its upper limit by a year and a half.

"Mr. Bai, what were you doing just now?" Little Rascal asked curiously. "Is that your mutant ability?"

"No, this is something anyone can cultivate. As for my mutant ability..." Bai Ye looked at his status bar.

Description section:

Total time: 2 hours, 15 minutes, and 32 seconds. Your gene awakening ability is [Etherealization].

The permanent ability has gone berserk; improving physical attributes can eliminate the side effects.

……

"Is the awakened ability to become ethereal?" Bai Ye pondered as he looked at the description, but the next moment a pain shot through his arm.

The little rascal exclaimed in surprise, because a long, narrow gash had suddenly appeared on Bai Ye's arm, clearly revealing the muscle fibers and bones beneath the skin.

"Is this what it means to have your abilities go berserk?" Bai Ye mused. You see, his arm was now harder than steel; even a barrage of bullets couldn't break his skin. Yet it was torn apart so easily.

"No, it's less like being torn apart and more like being swallowed up," Bai Ye thought.

Because he could clearly feel that his right hand had indeed lost a little weight, about 0.03 grams.

"It's alright, it's just a minor injury." Bai Ye smiled and reassured the worried little rascal.

Thanks to the recovery power brought by the 3.1 constitution, the laceration on my arm began to heal before it even started bleeding, and it is expected to be fully restored in four or five minutes.

"But how should I use my ability?" Bai Ye wondered, looking at the healed wound on his right hand. Then, following the feeling that rose in his heart, Bai Ye had a thought and felt his right arm disappear.

Looking at her right hand, which was still in sight, Bai Ye slowly reached out to Xiao Taoqi beside her. To Xiao Taoqi's surprise, Bai Ye's right hand clipped through her clothes, easily passing right through her.

"Phantom Cat? No, it should be called a Hollow Dog!"

A hint of excitement flashed in Bai Ye's eyes; he seemed to know how to use his ability.
