Chapter 413: [Talent Skill: Energy Conversion]
Gambit turned his head to look at Quicksilver beside him, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes. This guy had been sitting right next to him the whole time, hadn't gone anywhere, yet he could flip over that man's hand of cards without Gambit noticing at all. Was this speed simply too terrifying, or was Quicksilver's Ability not super speed at all, but time stopping?
Actually, his guess wasn't entirely wrong. Once speed reaches a certain level, it's basically no different from stopping time.
"You see, even if I told people about my Ability, no one would believe it," Quicksilver said, shrugging and chewing his chewing gum.
"Alright, your Ability is indeed stronger than I imagined, but if you get targeted by those guys, you'll probably have quite a bit of trouble."
Gambit took a sip of the whiskey in his glass, his tone growing heavier. "Those guys have a government background, specifically responsible for hunting Mutants. And they take the Mutants they catch to an overseas island called Three Mile. They have their Experiment Base there, and the Mutants they catch are locked into prisons like iron cages, used by them as consumables for vivisection."
Speaking of this, Gambit suddenly shivered. That scene, like a nightmare, reappeared before his eyes.
"I'm not trying to scare you, but in that place, it's hard even if you want to die." He paused, drinking another sip of alcohol, seemingly trying to use it to stabilize his emotions. "As far as I know, I'm the only Mutant who escaped from there. Since then, I've been hiding under an assumed name in Las Vegas, terrified they would find me. After a few years like this, they seemed to have given up pursuing me, and I relaxed."
"I didn't expect that Victor, one of them, would actually be wanted by Jie Er Company. But this also indicates that he is very likely in Washington." Gambit put down his glass, suddenly stood up, and pulled Quicksilver towards the outside. "We must leave here quickly, we can't delay for a second. If they find out I'm in Washington, the trouble will be big. I really don't want to be locked up in prison again."
"Being able to escape last time was good luck for me, but next time it might not be." Gambit didn't even exchange his chips, just took Quicksilver and hurried out of the casino's main door.
On the night street, the light was dim. Perhaps because it was so late, you could barely see pedestrians on the road. A gust of cold wind blew past; the street, bustling and noisy during the day, now seemed particularly desolate.
"I'm planning to go back to Las Vegas, where are you planning to go?" Gambit asked, in a state of high alert, observing his surroundings for any suspicious-looking guys.
"I took a week off with my mom, and originally planned to visit The Pentagon, but hearing you say that, it seems very dangerous for Mutants to go there. Since that's the case, I can only go home and play games," Quicksilver said in a relaxed tone. Compared to the paranoid Gambit beside him, he seemed particularly calm.
"I have a bad feeling, it seems like we're being watched," Gambit said in a low voice, quickening his pace.
"How is that possible? You're thinking too much," a magnetic voice sounded from behind him.
"It's indeed possible, but we still need to leave here quickly."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Gambit seemed to realize something. His entire body stiffened. He stopped walking and said in a hoarse voice, "Pete, was that you talking just now?"
Looking at the gaze Gambit directed at him, Quicksilver slowly shook his head.
"Shetty!" Gambit suddenly turned around, then brought his hands together, pulling a string of playing cards out from his cuff like a long snake. And each playing card suspended in the air emitted a faint red light.
"Homelander?" Just as Gambit was preparing to shoot out the playing cards, he heard Quicksilver's surprised voice.
"Attacking me is not a wise choice."
Homelander, draped in the Stars and Stripes flag, slowly walked out from the darkness. Using the dim light, Gambit finally saw the newcomer's full appearance. The other party's body was muscular, with muscle lines like ancient Greek sculptures, and his expression was indifferent, giving off an extremely strong sense of oppression.
"You were tracking me?" Gambit said, his face darkened, ready to shoot out the playing cards at any moment.
"I say this is purely a coincidence, do you believe me?" Xia Shang's gaze swept over the two of them. He could sense a little energy from the playing cards controlled by Gambit, but not much, probably about the same power as a grenade exploding. Actually, based on Gambit's performance in the movie, he wasn't qualified to join Jie Er Company and become a Superhero. But considering his ability setting is good, it's estimated that after being enhanced by Apocalypse, he will undergo astonishing changes like a complete transformation.
Since he hadn't fused Victor's Ability during the day, he could still use Analyze to Analyze Gambit. And he had already been following behind them for a long time.
[Analyze Completed]
[Talent Skill: Energy Conversion]
[Fusion Condition: Withstand three of Remy LeBeau's attacks (full power attack)]
[After fusing, the player can, by touching objects, convert the potential energy within their body into kinetic energy and inject it into the object, making it a powerful explosive weapon. At the same time, they can also activate the potential energy stored within the object, converting it into kinetic energy of other properties. However, the larger the object touched, the longer the energy conversion time needed, and the corresponding explosiveness generated is also stronger.
If the player uses small charged objects, for example when using playing cards, there is almost no charging delay. Friendly reminder, the upper limit of this Ability is Gamma Level. (Omega, Alpha (Level Five), Beta (Level Four), Gamma (Level Three), Delta (Level Two), Epsilon (Level One))]
"Being able to convert the potential energy within objects into kinetic energy, this setting is really quite insane." Xia Shang looked at the Ability introduction on the Panel and secretly exclaimed in admiration. You know, potential energy includes gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, electric potential energy, and nuclear energy, etc. If Gambit could completely convert the nuclear energy within his body into kinetic energy, then he could almost become a walking sun, and his level could at least reach Omega Level.
"I really don't know how much Apocalypse can enhance this guy's Ability..."
In the movie, Apocalypse only enhanced four people: Angel Warren, Storm Ororo, Psylocke Betsy, and Magneto Erik. After they were enhanced, their levels basically all increased by one. However, compared to the previous three, Magneto should have originally been Alpha Level, just unable to fully utilize his full potential. For the existence of this kind of anomaly, Apocalypse could only stimulate his potential, but couldn't help him break through to Omega Level.
"Are you insulting my intelligence?" Gambit stared intently at the Homelander in front of him, saying in an unfriendly tone.
"Alright, I was indeed following behind you for a while."
While answering, Xia Shang continued looking towards the Panel. Even Sabretooth had two Abilities, so Gambit naturally couldn't only have one. However, people like Quicksilver and Charles should only have one Ability.
