After injuries fully healed, Leon flew toward New York. For him now, this distance was trivial.
Two Arc Reactors floated around Leon under Limitless's effect. The tremendous energy they released continuously replenished his reserves—even enough excess for the system to absorb and improve template fusion.
His primary purpose visiting New York now was killing Kingpin—the underground king who'd caused considerable trouble early in his journey.
The main reason for not seeking Kingpin initially was inability to confirm his whereabouts. Now, with Six Eyes about to reach Level 3, having obtained teleportation with extremely fast mobility, he could explore all of Hell's Kitchen rapidly.
Kingpin had nowhere to hide from him!
En route to New York, Leon constantly urged Six Eyes at full capacity to observe surrounding scenery. Six Eyes' experience value increased continuously.
[Six Eyes Experience +1]
[Six Eyes Experience +1]
[Six Eyes Experience +1]
After arriving above New York, accompanied by continuous system prompts, Six Eyes upgraded to Level 3!
[Six Eyes Experience +1]
[Congratulations! Six Eyes has leveled up!]
[Six Eyes lv3 (1/1000): Grants 360-degree omnidirectional vision at extended range, perceives energy flow, and provides exceptional dynamic vision. Enables precise energy manipulation, maximizes energy efficiency, and reduces unnecessary energy loss!]
Warm current flowed from his mind, then poured into his eyes.
Already incredible visual range improved rapidly—from initial 500 meters to 2,000 meters. Four times higher than Level 2!
Within 2,000 meters, everything was crystal clear!
Even penetrative ability was greatly enhanced—he could pass through several solid walls and see specific scenery beyond.
Additionally, after upgrading to Level 3, Six Eyes gained a new effect: reducing unnecessary energy consumption!
This way, Leon's already extended combat duration was dramatically improved again!
After absorbing all information in his mind, Leon grinned, took another step, and arrived above Hell's Kitchen!
The game of hide-and-seek was about to begin!
In a hidden military base, satellite radar suddenly blared an alarm.
In the supreme commander's office, a well-trained soldier reported in panic:
"Report, General! Satellite radar detected an unknown flying object approaching New York at high speed—maximum velocity Mach 5!"
"What?!"
The general was shocked. Current maximum fighter jet speeds were only about Mach 3. How could this unknown object reach Mach 5?
"Pull up satellite monitoring and lock onto the unknown object. I want to see what it is!"
Since Tony Stark announced being Iron Man, increasingly strange events had occurred recently. All kinds of masked vigilantes appeared everywhere. Even an unknown flying object at Mach 5 wouldn't surprise the general excessively.
The soldier immediately controlled the satellite, focused the camera, and aimed at the unknown object over Hell's Kitchen.
When the screen image became completely clear, they stared dumbfounded at everything before them.
Even the general—who'd encountered countless emergencies throughout his career—was stunned!
A white-haired figure stood above Hell's Kitchen, hands in pockets, gazing down at everything below.
This figure was extremely familiar to everyone present. Since three reports were published, military and government had been under tremendous pressure. Recent days, all senior military officials had been studying White Devil intelligence, attempting to find his weaknesses.
However, after several sleepless days of research, all senior military officials desperately discovered the White Devil had no weaknesses whatsoever!
Extraordinary physique, energy absorption, azure spheres, crimson singularities, terrifying spatial defense...
This was an absolutely perfect mutant!
Eventually, many diligent senior officials finally found the White Devil seemingly lacked resistance to mental attacks. They immediately sent messengers to negotiate with Professor X, attempting to use Xavier School students to force him into killing Leon.
However, they later heard Professor X say:
"The White Devil's consciousness is like chaos. I can't detect it at all—naturally can't attack it!"
Nobody believed it until another psychic mutant who'd defected to the military and contacted the White Devil said the same thing. Only then did they completely believe even Professor X couldn't affect the White Devil's consciousness!
This fact left the entire military at a loss. If even mental attacks were perfectly resisted, then the White Devil had no weaknesses?
How could such a perfect mutant exist?!
Because of this incident, senior military officials held an emergency meeting two days ago. In the meeting, Colonel Stryker emphasized the White Devil's danger.
And discussed his growing abilities and the possibility of ignoring nuclear weapons in the future!
If that time truly came—facing the White Devil like a god—government and military would no longer have any power to resist. The White Devil would establish a new government!
Precisely because of this statement, military and government officials were determined to use high-yield nuclear weapons to kill the White Devil and strangle the crisis in its cradle!
But what was this situation?!
Why had the White Devil's speed suddenly increased so much? Now approaching maximum Mach 5—faster than the fastest fighter jets. How could nuclear weapons hit him?
What should they do now?
Wasn't the military leaders' careful planning a joke?
At that moment, they suddenly saw the White Devil in the footage look up—as if seeing the surveillance satellite in outer space through tens of thousands of meters—and smile viciously!
They instinctively stepped back several paces. The general nearly stumbled, because the White Devil before them seemed to be looking at them through the camera—his appearance right before them!
Next moment, the White Devil ignored them, took another step, and vanished...
The general's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He kept muttering:
"No, no—the plan cannot be terminated. We must deploy larger nuclear weapons and launch devastating attacks on the White Devil, even if it destroys a city!
In just a few days, the White Devil has become this terrifying. How far can he grow?
Must we truly make him a god on Earth?!"
Above Hell's Kitchen, Leon looked skyward. He felt spying eyes—instinctive intuition granted by Six Eyes upgraded to Level 3.
But Leon didn't care. The military had likely discovered his whereabouts and was using surveillance satellites to monitor him.
He smiled kindly toward the direction his intuition sensed, then took one step forward and disappeared.
