MTS: Marvel and Beyond - Chapter 42: Sentinels

Chapter 42: Sentinels

Witnessing the scene, all the generals fell silent. Their worst fear had materialized—the White-Haired Mutant had indeed grown strong enough to withstand a nuclear blast in such a short time!

If this were the case, what means could still harm him on Earth?

One of the generals suddenly recalled something and questioned Colonel Stryker: “Colonel Stryker, why didn’t the mutant suppression device work on the White-Haired Mutant?”

The other generals noticed this problem as well.

Indeed, if the mutant suppression device had been effective, then even the hated mutant, without his mutant abilities, would be just an ordinary person, incapable of surviving a nuclear explosion.

At this moment, with the scum still able to use his mutant abilities, it was clear that the mutant suppression device had failed to deliver its intended effect!

All the generals turned their questioning gazes towards Colonel Stryker.

Facing their scrutiny, Colonel Stryker paused for a moment before explaining:

“This time, the mutant suppression device works through sound waves. If the sound is deliberately blocked, the device’s effect would be greatly diminished. It seems that he used this method to become immune to the device.

However, gentlemen, there’s no need to worry. We have a contingency plan. We’ve created a suppression device specifically targeting him, based on his detailed information!

This suppression device is dozens of times stronger than the standard mutant suppression device!

And the new device operates through electromagnetic waves, making it nearly impossible to block!

However, due to the limited range of this device, it wasn’t used immediately.

But I’ve already installed it in every Sentinel robot. These Sentinel robots not only carry the suppression device tailored for him but also replicate his spatial attack abilities. They will undoubtedly be able to kill him!”

Upon hearing Colonel Stryker’s arrangements, the generals showed him looks of approval, finally feeling relieved and regaining confidence in their plan to eliminate the White-Haired Menace.

…

Emerging from the center of the nuclear explosion, Alex burped, having absorbed all the energy from the nuclear blast. Even he was nearly overwhelmed, his body filled to the brim with energy.

If not for the ability to continuously convert the energy into energy points and channel them into the character template, Alex wouldn’t have been able to contain all the energy from a high-yield nuclear explosion.

Even so, he felt an urge to release all the energy within him, unable to contain the overwhelming power!

Just then, using the Six Eyes’ farsight ability, Alex noticed dozens of strange-looking robots approaching, providing him with a perfect outlet for his raging power!

As soon as the robots appeared, Alex recognized them as the Sentinel robots designed to exterminate mutants.

Sentinel robots can detect any form of mutant ability and instantly adapt and modify themselves to acquire different types of mutant abilities, effectively countering their targets!

However, at this point in time, these Sentinel robots should be far from their final stage, unable to freely alter their X-genes to gain different mutant abilities.

Alex guessed that they could probably only load two or three mutant abilities simultaneously, and one of them was definitely a spatial attack ability targeting him.

Yet, what once could breach his spatial defenses, could it still do so now that his Limitless Cursed Technique had advanced to level 3?

In a distant military base, surveillance satellites transmitted images of the desert to the command center. The generals and Colonel Stryker watched the screens nervously, knowing that if this mission failed again, they would have no other means to restrain Alex.

Suddenly, they saw him make a move. Rather than fleeing, he charged straight towards the dozens of Sentinel robots.

This action excited the generals and Colonel Stryker. Their greatest fear was Alex simply escaping or attacking the Sentinel robots from a distance.

The suppression device and spatial attacks were both effective only at close range. If Alex had fled or attacked from afar, the Sentinel robots would have been powerless!

As soon as Alex entered the range of the device, Colonel Stryker immediately ordered: “Activate the suppression device!”

At the same time, Alex heard a buzzing sound from the Sentinel robots ahead, and then felt his energy momentarily freeze before quickly recovering.

He immediately realized that this was the effect of the mutant suppression device, but unfortunately for them, it had no effect on him

Activating the Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue, a massive gravitational force connected him to the distant space. In a single step, he crossed a hundred meters and appeared before a Sentinel robot.

Placing his palm on the robot’s head, a black-and-red singularity erupted from his palm, spreading terrifying repulsive forces forward, first destroying the Sentinel robot under his hand, and then continuing forward, destroying over a dozen other Sentinel robots before finally stopping!

The command center fell silent once again, with Colonel Stryker staring in disbelief at the White-Haired Mutant who had shrugged off the suppression device.

Alex had destroyed over a dozen Sentinel robots with a single strike, making Stryker doubt for the first time whether he could truly hunt the White-Haired Menace…

Why had Alex completely ignored the suppression device? That device had been specifically designed based on his abilities, a tailor-made suppression device.

The experimenters had assured him that this suppression device could suppress him for several hours!

But now?

Not even a second, with no effect at all!

A strong sense of unease engulfed Colonel Stryker, and he could only keep reassuring himself: “It’s okay, it’s okay, we still have the spatial attack! That scum can’t withstand a spatial attack; the Sentinel robots will definitely kill him!”

Following his orders, the Sentinel robots immediately unleashed spatial attacks toward Alex, forming a dense web of spatial blades aimed at ensnaring him, leaving no room for escape!

Faced with the approaching spatial blades, Alex remained calm.

The attacks that once threatened him could no longer harm him

The speed of the spatial blades, which used to be extremely fast to his old self, was now easily traceable with his Level 3 Six Eyes.

If he wanted, Alex could easily dodge them.

But he didn’t do so. After dodging the majority of the spatial blades, he approached one and attempted to block the attack using his Infinity.

The spatial blades that once could easily penetrate his Level 1 Limitless Cursed Technique drastically slowed down and crept forward like a snail once they entered the range of his Infinity. Faced with his Level 3 Limitless, the spatial blades could no longer breach his defenses.

Watching the spatial blades inch forward within his Technique, Alex concluded that once he reached Level 4, he could likely become completely immune to spatial attacks.

After his experiment, Alex extended his index finger and aimed at the spatial blades ahead.

A small blue-black hole, the size of a ping-pong ball, and a similarly sized black-and-red singularity fused in front of him, forming a purple lightning imaginary ball that then surged forward.

The purple ball instantly obliterated the spatial blades, continuing its path and destroying all Sentinel robots in its way until it disappeared into the distance!
