The constructed system quickly provided feedback on the changes in his abilities.
"They're here."
Alex Johnson's eyes flickered with a faint light.
He directly raised both hands, and two energy cannons began to form in his palms.
The next moment.
Boom!!!
The incomparably brilliant energy cannons, condensed with terrifying energy beams, carved a terrifying chasm into the ground, engulfing and destroying all the distant artillery vehicles and soldiers.
Within a short time, the first units dispatched to maintain order were completely annihilated, their structure entirely lost.
Meanwhile, satellite equipment in space perfectly captured this scene.
Consequently, the entire nation immediately raised its alert level to the highest.
"Immediately dispatch S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
"Send out all special forces."
"I don't care how you do it, but by the end of today, I want to see this extreme Mutant's tears of repentance for this land, and I want him to die without a burial place!"
The President roared in anger, issuing his latest command...
The young man who emerged from the nuclear explosion wantonly annihilated an entire biochemical unit.
Soon.
The national alert level was adjusted to the highest.
Alex Johnson, the Chinese-American youth who successfully caused a nuclear explosion on their home soil, was directly upgraded from an S-Rank global fugitive to SSS-Rank.
As the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, S.H.I.E.L.D. also dispatched a rapid response team, marking Alex as a Special Danger Level, which meant that no one with clearance below a Level 9 Agent could access his information.
"Contact Iron Man Tony..."
S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury immediately contacted the most popular superhero of late.
Ever since Tony Stark successfully resolved the issues within his corporation and announced to the world that he was Iron Man, the fellow had been thriving, becoming the most popular superhero.
In these difficult times, the people needed a hero!
The people needed someone to step forward.
They needed someone to bring this heinous outlaw to justice, or swiftly eliminate him!
After all, even the most arrogant extreme Mutant of the past, the Brotherhood leader, the infamous Magneto, had never achieved such a feat.
Even Magneto himself had been successfully apprehended by the military and held in an underground prison for a period.
Damn it!
Under the gaze of everyone in the world, this young man was so lawless, causing a nuclear explosion at close range on the mainland; such an outrageous humiliation was unbearable for anyone.
This young man must be taken down!
Immediately, special personnel were rapidly dispatched from across the nation to Washington D.C....
Swoosh!
Over the East Coast, more than a dozen Raptor fighter jets swept across the coast, heading towards the nuclear explosion site at supersonic speed.
"Firepower authorized."
This was a flight combat team from the Atlantic Ocean's Seventh Fleet.
They departed directly from an aircraft carrier far out at sea and quickly arrived at the battlefield.
Despite their small number, this single flight formation, with its loaded warheads and swift supersonic flight speed, was enough to suppress a small country, wreaking havoc within its territory.
But now, they faced a problem.
Could their firepower suppression be effective against a young man who could survive a nuclear explosion?
They didn't know.
However, their most important mission was to contain the enemy, slow him down, and trap him in this area.
"Open fire!"
Upon receiving the authorization order, the fighter pilots activated their launch systems.
Click!
From beneath the Raptor fighter jet's bomb bay, a mounted missile device popped out; in less than a second, the missile's tail ignited completely, and the mounting device released it.
Swoosh!
The missile streaked across the sky, heading for a precision strike on the ground target.
"Fighter jets?"
Alex's gaze turned towards the sky.
He recalled that being a fighter pilot was one of his childhood dreams.
Watching the approaching missiles, Alex's eyes instantly turned cold; with just a thought, a telekinetic ripple, like an invisible giant hand, firmly grasped the swiftly moving missiles in mid-air.
Boom!
The entire missile was crushed by him in mid-air.
But in an instant.
More and more missiles flew in from the horizon, rapidly approaching from distant black dots to become warheads closing in with every breath.
"Is that all?"
Alex raised his right hand and gently swiped to his side.
It was a seemingly meaningless action, striking at the air, yet it had a very peculiar effect.
The missiles approaching from afar suddenly veered off course, instantly deviating from their trajectory and falling towards the distant ground, pulled by an invisible force.
Boom!
The Capital City's urban area was immediately hit by its own missiles; multiple tall buildings collapsed, and orange-red flames rose into the sky.
"Damn it!"
The pilot cursed under his breath.
They hadn't expected the opponent's strange telekinetic ability to be able to deflect all incoming missiles so easily.
"This will only increase innocent casualties."
"Delay for thirty seconds, then all return to base."
Dispatching such a flight formation was never intended to eliminate the young man.
The initial intention was merely to delay the opponent, relying on the advantage of high altitude and supersonic flight speed, with no need to worry too much about attacks from the ground.
However, their ideas were still too simplistic.
As multiple Raptor fighter jets finished firing their missiles and roared over Alex's head, the sky-shattering engine noise made the indifferent young man frown.
At first, he indeed didn't have many ways to deal with fighter jets.
Because they were too fast and too high.
Of course, the opponent also had no means to restrain him.
"But it's still too noisy."
A hint of killing intent flickered across Alex's cold, emotionless face; he simply couldn't tolerate the constant roaring of supersonic engines in the sky around his ears.
This made his mood turn somewhat sour.
As the saying goes, going dark makes one ten times stronger, while turning good weakens one by three points.
As Alex's mindset completely shifted and he embraced the abyss, his use of abilities became increasingly proficient.
"Let them fall."
Buzz!!!
It was as if his words commanded reality.
An invisible wave of power began to interfere with reality.
