Sentinel robots are not like soldiers. They don't feel pain, fear, and they possess abilities, essentially making them equivalent to a group of mutants attacking together.
Recently, the government decided to continue targeting that kid. With the Sentinel robots, his chances of survival are slim!
Once that kid is eliminated, it will be time to wipe out all mutants. No mutant will escape! Alessandro smiled.
Dr. Bolivar Trask sighed, "It's thanks to that mutant. Without the pressure he put on the senators, the Sentinel robot plan wouldn't have succeeded so quickly."
Alessandro nodded, then asked, "Dr. Trask, when can the Sentinel robots be deployed?"
Trask thought for a moment and answered, "The production line is almost ready, and we have plenty of materials. It won't take long."
"That's good." Alessandro's smile widened.
Although the production line was nearly ready, there was a shortage of mutant gene data, which would lead to the Sentinels having limited abilities initially and a higher attrition rate.
To address this, Trask designed small robots to approach mutants and collect their genetic information.
These small robots also carried the Sentinel's targeting system.
With the targeting system, no mutant within ten kilometers could hide.
With it, the Sentinel robots' mutant data would greatly improve!
Furthermore, the X-gene data from various labs would significantly enhance the Sentinel robots.
Trask was confident that no mutant could escape the Sentinel's pursuit! This elimination race between mutants and humans was about to end with the mutants' defeat!Nôv(el)B\\jnn
First, they needed to eliminate that young mutant, securing the first victory.
In a good mood, Dr. Trask turned to handle production line matters.
While the X-Men and Jean Grey were dealing with their issues and the government prepared to take action, Syd Castell was feeling the changes in himself.
A notification sounded.
[Floating Flight Experience +1]
The next second, the notification continued.
[Ability: Floating Flight (0/2000) Level 4]
"Finally, level four."
Feeling the surge of photon energy within him, Syd breathed a sigh of relief.
Floating Flight should have leveled up faster, but the noise it caused and the people searching for him slowed the process considerably.
However, reaching level four in just a few days was still impressive!
As sunlight shone on him, his photon energy increased rapidly.
After replenishing his energy, Syd estimated his current capacity.
His photon energy had increased from being able to use level three abilities seventy times to over a hundred times.
A significant boost!
Now, he could use his abilities more freely, provided he wasn't under heavy attack.
If too many enemies surrounded him, even he would struggle.
Besides the increased photon energy, Syd noticed a substantial increase in his remaining lifespan, now up to 140 days.
Syd relaxed slightly and focused on his floating flight ability.
After leveling up, he found his constant flight altitude had increased to 500 meters, and his speed...
Whoosh!
Syd's figure moved rapidly in the air, leaving afterimages.
Testing it out, he found his flight speed had reached a point where the human eye could only see afterimages, which was quite impressive.
"Not bad," Syd evaluated internally.
At that moment, Venom's small head emerged from his right hand.
"Syd, why do I feel like you're getting stronger?"
"Is this my imagination?"
Venom was confused. It seemed like every period, Syd got stronger.
Feeling puzzled, he asked, "Is it my imagination?"
"Probably," Syd replied casually.
Putting Floating Flight aside, Syd focused on his energy points.
After several days of gathering, his energy points had skyrocketed, nearing six digits.
[Energy Points: 65326]
"That should be enough to reach 100% unlock progress, right?"
"Wonder what will happen?"
Syd had a strong sense that the change would be significant.
Unable to hold back any longer, he immediately invested all his energy points into the unlock
progress.
The 90% unlock progress blurred.
[Unlock Progress: 99%]
Syd frowned.
Apart from the 9% increase in progress, he felt no other changes.
So 9% unlock progress amounted to nothing?
Syd felt speechless, thinking, "It seems the imitation is really of the game's Orochi. Sigh..."
"If it were the lore Orochi, the abilities wouldn't be so limited."
However, he sensed that reaching 100% would bring a qualitative change, though he wasn't sure what it would be.
This feeling was as strong as when he sensed Scarlet Witch or Sunshine; he was certain it was
accurate.
"I'll know when the time comes."
At that moment, Syd felt both disappointed and hopeful, wishing for his energy points to soar so he could reach the final 1%.
It wouldn't take long, he sensed. The remaining 1% wouldn't require too many energy points.
Time flew by, and three days later in the morning.
In a luxurious villa.
"Jean, where are you going?"
Margaret asked, puzzled, as Jean was about to leave.
The remaining D'Bari also looked at Jean.
Jean glanced at them and hesitated, "I feel something drawing me somewhere. I'm going to
check it out."
Attraction? What could it be? The D'Bari exchanged puzzled looks.
Since Jean insisted, they didn't stop her. After a brief discussion, they decided to accompany
her.
As Jean and the D'Bari moved, the X-Men had also tracked Jean's location and were heading
there.
Due to Jean's immense power, not only Professor X but also Magneto Erik had agreed to join
at Professor X's request.
While the X-Men were on the move, the internet was buzzing.
It had been more than a few days since Irina mentioned the government's new action, yet
there was no progress.
"Irina, where are you? Explain!"
"Is the government capturing the mutant or not?"
"Is this another scam?"
Faced with the viewers' anger, Irina was panicked. Luckily, good news came just in time to
relieve her.
Near noon, Irina started a live broadcast.
"Irina, how dare you show your face?"
"You're a liar!"
Despite the insults, Irina didn't panic. She awkwardly smiled and said, "Dear viewers, rest
assured, the government took a bit longer to prepare, but the operation has now begun."
Hmm?
