Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel.

Chapter 64 Hollowing Out

"Mr. Bai, is this your awakened ability?" Little Mischief looked in surprise at Bai Ye's right hand overlapping with his own clothes.

"I think so. Wait for me here for a moment." Bai Ye said excitedly. The next moment, not only his right hand, but his whole body disappeared from reality.

When Bai Ye regained his sight, he found himself in an absolutely dark space.

In this space, there is no light, no sound, not even air or gravity, just like being in silent space. An ordinary person would die from internal organ explosion in no time if they were in it.

But for Bai Ye at this moment, enduring this environment for more than ten minutes is not a problem.

After groping around in the dark, Bai Ye learned that the entire space was roughly the size of a cube with sides of 3 meters.

"So this is what 'etherealization' means." Bai Ye looked at the nothingness before him and began to manipulate his abilities.

The space, which was originally isolated from the world, was brought into the light and air of the outside world by the white night. In the next moment, the originally dark space immediately became bright and gradually became suitable for human habitation.

This also allowed Bai Ye to understand the mutant ability he had awakened.

Simply put, it means having a free space to control, and being able to move your body back and forth between the real and virtual worlds at any time.

"Now that I have this ability, my survival skills have increased dramatically." Bai Ye looked around the space in front of him.

As long as I hide inside the space, Professor X's psychic abilities will theoretically be unable to affect me. It can also be used as a spatial ring in normal times.

After some experimentation, Bai Ye slowly emerged from the illusory space, wanting to greet Xiao Taoqi, but the next moment a sharp pain shot through his back as a long, narrow wound tore open his back.

"Did his spatial abilities go berserk and tear his body apart...?" Bai Ye wondered to himself.

However, he wasn't too worried. Compared to this level of injury, the burns from electric shock training could make his brain boil into bubbles, but he would still train as usual. As long as he improved his physique, everything would be fine.

He casually greeted Rogue: "Let's go, now we can meet Magneto and the others as mutants."

With that, Bai Ye took Xiao Taoqi's gloved right hand, opened the door and went out. They quickly found Magneto and the others who were discussing matters in the lobby downstairs.

When they saw Bai Ye come down, the members of the Brotherhood looked over together.

"How's it going? Your superpowers have awakened?" Magneto asked.

"Of course, the ability is pretty good for me. I guess I'd call myself a level three mutant, since I can only use the ability to become ethereal," Bai Ye said, defining himself.

Then, in the eyes of the group, his figure passed through the chair next to him and walked straight over.

Seeing Bai Ye's abilities, the mutants' eyes immediately softened. Magneto said happily, "Welcome to the Brotherhood of Mutants. From now on, you are one of us."

"Of course, as I said before, I will make sure that mutants are fully integrated into human society." Bai Ye said, and then, to the astonishment of the others, a wound tore from his forehead to his jaw.

"Are you alright?" Mystique stepped forward to support Bai Ye with concern, her attitude completely different from before.

"It's alright, this is the machine defect I mentioned before. Its abilities are starting to go out of control, and I need some time to stabilize it," Bai Ye said, waving his hand dismissively.

As he spoke, the torn flesh on his face had already closed up on its own, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't even notice the wound.

"It seems my plans do need to be changed," Magneto sighed in disappointment.

The original plan was to use the machine to transform all the world leaders attending the global summit into mutants, but unexpectedly, the machine had such a major flaw.

If he really wanted to kill someone, his own efficiency in controlling the steel to kill would be hundreds of times greater than that conversion machine with its side effects.

"It's alright. I've already promised to improve the living conditions for mutants. You just need to wait patiently."

"However, I think your strength also needs to be improved." Bai Ye looked at Magneto and said, "How about this, you go and contact Kingpin and tell him that I instructed him to do this. He will understand what to do."

"Kingpin? That underworld emperor?" Magneto looked at Bai Ye in surprise, not expecting that he would be connected with Kingpin.

"Yes, your physical abilities are no different from normal people. You can even be penetrated by a pistol. Go find Kingpin and let your skills improve." Bai Ye said seriously.

In X-Men 3, Magneto, a Level 4 mutant, could have moved the Golden Gate Bridge, which weighs hundreds of thousands of tons, but he was turned into an ordinary human by a syringe because of his poor physical condition. This power imbalance is too outrageous.

Now that he's considered one of us, Bai Ye plans to send him to Kingpin for further studies, to perhaps acquire some kind of century-old true qi.

When the battle comes, you should create a three-foot-high barrier of energy like the Sweeping Monk to prevent sneak attacks, otherwise your weaknesses will be too obvious.

Although Bai Ye didn't know how well Kingpin's internal energy was progressing, seven days had already passed. Given Kingpin's efficiency, Bai Ye had no doubt that he had stored up a hundred or two hundred years' worth of true energy.

Bai Ye had just joined the Brotherhood of Mutants and immediately started assigning them tasks as if they were old friends, treating the place like his own home. Magneto, however, didn't mind at all and was happy to accept the assignments.

As long as it improves the living conditions of mutants, what's wrong with making Bai Ye the leader? If he wanted to enjoy himself, he had plenty of options; why would he need to go through all that trouble every day?

"So what are you planning to do next?" Magneto asked.

"Of course, I'll go back to my factory and continue training for the rise of mutants," Bai Ye laughed. "You just need to be patient for a year or two and wait for me to fully mature."

"As for the fact that I'm a mutant, I don't want the human government to know, to avoid unnecessary trouble." Bai Ye glanced at the group, then looked at Little Rascal beside him and said, "Let's go, come with me and leave here. You'll be staying at my house from now on."

"Mmm." Little Mischief had just nodded when Bai Ye put him into the illusory space.

"It was a very pleasant meeting. If you encounter any trouble, please feel free to contact me. I'll head back now." Bai Ye bid farewell to the group, then suddenly leaped up after creating a safe distance between them.

"Boom!" A huge shockwave shot into the sky, causing the group to stagger backward and squint. When they looked up, they saw a two-meter-wide crater in the ground, and a large hole in the ceiling, through which warm sunlight streamed in.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye had already stored his car, which he was driving on the island, into the illusory space, and relying on his superhuman physical abilities, he ran wildly across the sea.
