Chapter 25

Crack!!

Su Chen stepped forward, crushing the still-moving Iron Man suit under his foot.

[Perception +10]

[Telekinesis +30]

[Awakening: Remote Touch]

[Awakening: Low-Light Vision]

...

The infinite mutation of his genes found a new direction for evolution. The previously undetectable stealthy Ghost model Iron Man suit was now within Su Chen's evolved countermeasures.

Buzz!!

A ripple appeared in Su Chen's clear black-and-white eyes, flickering with a faint light. Soon, a hidden robot near him was exposed. This was a new ability. His perception evolved to counter stealth units, and now he possessed Remote Touch.

Touch is the sensation triggered by contact with the skin. Remote Touch extended this sensation, providing feedback from any object in proximity. Su Chen sensed a slender, thin figure approaching from behind, raising a katana to strike his neck.

Clang!!

At the critical moment, Su Chen caught the invisible katana with his right hand.

"Hm...."

The exposed assassin couldn't fathom how he was detected. He didn't understand that Su Chen evolved to counter the Ghost model's stealth due to the robot's stimulus. What panicked him more was Su Chen's terrifying grip.

Bang!!

The adamantium katana shattered under Su Chen's grip.

"Damn!!"

Realizing his opponent's immense strength, the assassin quickly cloaked himself and retreated.

Not good!!

Su Chen's cold eyes were fixed on him, as if seeing through his invisibility.

"Kid!!"

The masked assassin sneered.

Do you think you're special?

The next moment, he vanished, completely invisible.

"Interesting."

Su Chen's expression shifted to one of intrigue. The assassin could teleport?

Whoosh!!

A deadly wind blew from behind as the assassin teleported back, drawing another blade to slash Su Chen's back.

Buzz!!

But the blade was stopped inches from Su Chen's back by a thin energy field, absorbing its force. The assassin felt his strength drain and cursed, vanishing again.

"Fast runner."

Su Chen frowned. Around him, the teleporting assassin kept reappearing, striking at vital points before vanishing again.

"Is he with General Stryker?"

Tony, hovering above, was surprised but quickly realized the intruder's origin. Reinforcements around the nuclear site must be special forces, including superhumans.

General Stryker's elite squad, known for augmenting soldiers with multiple powers, was likely responsible. Unlike most mutants with a single ability, Stryker's new X-weapon soldiers combined various powers.

Invisible and teleporting, the assassin effortlessly dodged Su Chen's attacks.

"The area is now under our control."

A military convoy arrived, and black-armored soldiers disembarked. General Stryker's X-weapon unit had arrived.

Su Chen didn't know who these new arrivals were. But he knew combat spurred his rapid evolution. The enemies' diverse abilities drove his infinite mutation to find new evolutionary paths.

[Awakening: Spatial Detection]

Su Chen's eyes transformed again. Now, he saw the physical structure of space—curvatures, folds, gaps—revealing the hidden assassin.

"So noisy."

Bang!!

Su Chen's foot stomped the ground, creating a crater as he launched forward like a cannonball.

"Die!!"

He thrust the broken blade he held into the air. The teleporting assassin, reappearing at that exact spot, impaled himself on the blade.

Splat!!

The adamantium blade pierced his skull.

"This is impossible...."

The assassin's disbelief faded into darkness as he died instantly.
