Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel.

Chapter 87 Assassination

"What is this?!"

Upon seeing the creature before them, Cyclops and Storm's expressions changed simultaneously. The immense pressure emanating from it sent chills down their spines.

If Bai Ye were here, he would be surprised to find that this is actually a Sentinel robot, and in terms of appearance, it is the final version, which appeared more than ten years before the original X-Men series.

"I don't care who you are, just die!"

With a grim expression, Cyclops opened the interdimensional portal connecting his two eyes, just as before, and two powerful laser beams shot out from it.

Faced with the surging laser beams, the sentry did not dodge, but simply raised his right hand forward, trying to use his palm to block the laser eye's attack.

"You're dead!" Cyclops said confidently.

He was fully confident in his destructive power. If he could win by speed like Bai Ye before, that would be fine, but if he had to block head-on, he didn't believe anyone could stop him.

But the next moment, Cyclops watched helplessly as his beam of light struck the palm of the humanoid creature in front of him, as if facing a hard, impenetrable barrier, unable to advance even an inch.

"How is this possible!" Cyclops exclaimed in disbelief as he watched the other person's palm facing forward, blocking the beam, and approaching step by step. His face turned extremely ugly.

"Drink!" Upon seeing this, Storm's eyes turned pure white, her body slowly floated into the air, and she manipulated the celestial phenomena.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the sentry, but after a brief flash, he was completely unharmed.

"What...what kind of monster is this?!"

A flicker of fear crossed Cyclops' eyes. He turned to run away, but when he looked back, the other person was already blocking his way.

But the other person should be behind him.

Without giving him any time to think, the sentry, bracing himself against the heat of his laser eyes, grabbed both men by the neck as if they were chickens, and then gradually tightened his grip.

Under immense force, his face flushed red, and just before his neck was about to be snapped, the sentry suddenly loosened his grip, then his head drooped, as if he had frozen in place.

"Wha...what happened?" The two gasped for breath, but then two injections of anesthetic were injected into them, causing them to fall into a coma.

The remaining surviving soldiers approached and immediately lifted the two men up. One of the officers asked, "Have all the targets inside the academy been captured?"

"Sir, all but one mutant with the ability to walk through walls have been captured."

"Very good. Remember to record the combat data of this Sentinel. It will be very important for future improvements," the officer said, then turned back to look at the robot he had forcibly shut down, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

Even though they already knew about the Sentinels' abilities, they still didn't expect them to perform so exceptionally well.

……

The next day, Bai Ye got up from Camilla and went back to the factory to continue forging. Looking at the machine in front of him, which had a maximum output of only 5000 tons, he felt that it was almost no longer able to meet his needs.

Or rather, if he hadn't been deliberately suppressing the growth of his power recently in order to maintain the balance of his mental attributes, this machine would have long been unable to meet his needs.

"Even if the improvement is slow, in about four or five days, my physical strength will reach the limit of this machine," Bai Ye thought to himself.

However, he feels that his strength is enough to survive in the Marvel movies, so he doesn't feel too much urgency at the moment. Becoming stronger is just a matter of taking things one step at a time.

"Mr. Bai, relying on our internal energy reserves, we earned at least several hundred billion dollars last night." At this moment, Kingpin, who had stayed up all night, came to the factory and looked at Bai Ye with excitement.

"Oh, and then?" Bai Ye asked casually on the forging platform.

"And then?" Kingpin paused for a moment before continuing, "Then last night, pharmaceutical and biotech giants contacted me overnight to discuss cooperation, and money will be pouring into us in the future."

"Furthermore, based on your suggestion, I have already established an internal energy trading website. In the future, the vast majority of people will only trade internal energy through the website, and we can then take a cut from each transaction. Isn't that something to be happy about?"

"Should we be happy about this?" Bai Ye frowned.

After satisfying his needs, Bai Ye really had little interest in money. The reason he levied taxes globally was simply because he didn't want piracy to benefit him.

"I'm asking you, how's the training equipment you need coming along?" Bai Ye questioned.

"Well... as you know, only a few countries in the world have the industrial capacity to manufacture hydraulic presses with a capacity of 40,000 tons or more."

"Furthermore, we need to modify it to apply full force to such a small area of ​​your body. This may require collecting some special metals, such as adamantium or vibranium. Even if we manufacture it at full capacity, it will still take a month," Jin said with difficulty.

Bai Ye nodded helplessly after hearing this. As he reached his current level, the mechanical abilities he could use to help his body became less and less. Perhaps before long, nothing on Earth would be able to harm him.

While the White House was discussing this, inside the White House, the president was receiving a special guest.

"You mean, the collected internal energy is divided 30/70!" Inside the White House, Ellis looked at the president from the small African country of Equatorial Guinea and said.

"Yes," the president opposite said righteously. "Allowing civilians to possess internal energy is a huge destabilizing factor and will cause great damage to social order. Therefore, for their safety, I will collect all their internal energy and use it in the right place."

"I've come here today to sign a contract with you. I hope to get your approval. Just like the previous contract for oil, we can unconditionally give you 30% of the internal energy we collect."

Listening to the words of the President of Equatorial Guinea, Ellis regarded his so-called justice as utter nonsense, nothing more than an excuse to exploit those below him.

But after calculating the benefits that Equatorial Guinea's 140 million people could bring him, Ellis's face immediately lit up with a warm smile. He shook the other person's hand and said, "I will always support Equatorial Guinea's pursuit of freedom and democracy."

"It's a pleasure working together!" Both of them smiled with satisfaction at the result.

But the next moment a series of gunshots rang out outside the door, and in the blink of an eye a cloud of blue smoke exploded in front of the two of them.

A tail wrapped with a dagger was slicing through the air, aiming for Ellis's eyes, but was blasted away by a purple light in the next instant.

Looking at the blue-skinned monster in front of him, Ellis emitted a purple light under the astonished gaze of the President of Equatorial Guinea.

"I never expected to be assassinated so soon after gaining internal energy."

"You've come at just the right time!"
