Two major events occurred recently.
The first: the Iron Man incident had been unveiled. The truth concluded with Tony Stark's declaration: "I am Iron Man!"
From that moment, the world entered the superhero era!
This was an epoch-making event. But another event was equally—perhaps even more—important.
This major event still concerned the White Devil, that terrifying Level 5 mutant!
Reporter Eddie Brock, journalism's sudden rising star, wrote in his latest report:
An unprecedented terrorist attack occurred in Harlem recently. Two terrifying green-skinned monsters rampaged through the district, ignoring heavily armed forces' attacks and slaughtering civilians indiscriminately.
At this critical moment, the White Devil intervened and easily defeated both monsters using his devastating crimson singularity!
But the White Devil is no benevolent savior—he deserves his demonic title!
The crimson singularity he released instantly defeated one monster, destroyed numerous buildings, killed hundreds of civilians, ravaged the ground in the attack's aftermath, and finally carved a massive furrow thousands of meters long!
He caused far more destruction than both green monsters combined!
Moreover, analyzing video footage I captured previously, the White Devil's strength is steadily, rapidly improving.
When he first used the crimson singularity, it was obviously unstable. According to subsequent expert analysis, he was likely severely exhausted then—which is why he spared the surrounding army.
But now, releasing the crimson singularity again, his manifestation speed has significantly improved. The singularity is obviously more stable than before, and attack power far exceeds the first instance!
As you know, Level 5 mutants possess unlimited potential. The White Devil's existence demonstrates Level 5 mutants' terrifying possibilities!
I boldly theorize the White Devil's current strength remains far from his limits!
As time passes, he'll grow stronger and stronger—eventually even capable of ignoring nuclear weapons!
I again ask the military and government: how will you deal with the White Devil?
Taxpayer money cannot support incompetent waste. Please present a reasonable response plan!
In a hidden base, Magneto set down the newspaper, heartfelt smile crossing his features.
Mystique, observing nearby, was extremely curious. Ever since formulating his plan to destroy humanity and suffering repeated setbacks in subsequent actions, Eric hadn't smiled genuinely in ages!
So she examined the newspaper on the table—she must find the reason.
After roughly reading it, she couldn't control her shocked expression!
Even for a Level 5 mutant, the White Devil was growing too fast!
Magneto, seeing Mystique's shock, straightened his telepathy-blocking helmet and smiled:
"Raven, it seems without our guidance, this new power still advances on the correct path. Our strength grows!"
Simultaneously, in Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters' hidden laboratory, Professor X set down the newspaper and raised his eyebrows gently.
After a moment, he told Jean Grey beside him:
"Jean, we must attempt contact. He's gradually falling into darkness. If ignored, his power will definitely cause irreparable damage."
Jean nodded agreement, but what Professor X didn't see was the touch of red in her eyes that wouldn't fade!
In a Los Angeles mansion, the two figures who'd attracted worldwide attention sat on the balcony sunbathing. Each was served by a beautiful woman.
If any fans arrived, they'd definitely recognize these two beauties as Hollywood's most popular actresses recently!
But these usual protagonists were reduced to supporting roles now—without even a single line.
"By the way, Leon, before going to Harlem, didn't you have something important to tell me?
So what was it?"
Tony Stark suddenly asked.
Leon wore Hawaiian shorts, drinking expensive wine, enjoying the blonde's service. Hearing Tony's question, he remembered, stretched, and said:
"Is something wrong with your health now?"
Tony's expression froze. He immediately forced a smile:
"No way—my health is fine!"
Leon smiled mysteriously without refuting:
"As long as you provide unlimited Arc Reactor supply when I need it—
I'll solve your health problems!"
Tony was stunned. "That simple?"
Seeing Leon nod, he immediately said:
"Okay, agreed!"
Leon swallowed the cherry placed by the blonde's lips and murmured softly:
"Your current dilemma is probably palladium poisoning. That's why you keep drinking chlorophyll to relieve poisoning symptoms.
If you continue using Arc Reactors made with palladium metal, you'll definitely die soon!"
The two slender blondes instinctively stopped serving, staring at Tony in shock. The world's richest man, playboy Tony Stark, was dying?
Seeing Tony reflexively place the chlorophyll on the table and cover his chest to hide it, Leon immediately laughed:
"Don't be nervous. The new element's hidden in your home—in the architectural model your father left you. Search carefully. With your intellect, you'll definitely find it!
Goodbye. Next time we meet, I'll give you another piece of news while collecting Arc Reactors.
Also important, of course!"
Then, under Tony Stark and both blondes' shocked gazes, Leon vanished instantly—without a trace.
Tony was stunned momentarily, then smiled helplessly:
"This guy's gotten stronger again!"
Simultaneously, footsteps came from outside. Under Tony's displeased gaze, Nick Fury walked in, several black-suited agents behind him carrying a silver case.
Moments later, under Nick Fury's shocked gaze, Tony reclined on the sun lounger and sneered:
"Talking about a new element? I've found it!"
High in the distance, Leon stood suspended in midair, blood seeping from his mouth corners. Injuries inside his body healed rapidly through Reversal Technique. He said helplessly:
"Even with Level 3 Blue, can't I use teleportation continuously?
Even with Level 3 Energy Absorption, I'm still injured continuously withstanding teleportation's pressure.
Seems I must raise Blue to Level 4, or Energy Absorption to Level 4, before using Blue for infinite teleportation!"
Just yesterday, by minimizing energy output and constantly practicing Blue, he'd finally raised it to Level 3!
[Congratulations! Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue has leveled up!]
[Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue lv3 (1/1000): Creates powerful gravitational attraction, compresses distance between multiple objects to "negative infinity," creating a miniature black hole.]
The moment of upgrading, Leon's mind received Blue's advanced application method:
Through powerful gravity, compress distance between starting point and destination—achieving teleportation-like effects!
So just now, he'd taken one step and crossed dozens of kilometers instantly!
