Chapter 432: Summarizing Abilities! Fusing Mental Isolation!
Xia Shang was startled at first, then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He really hadn't expected that when his Fantasy Value surpassed thirty thousand, the Panel would unlock a new function.
"By consuming Fantasy Value, I can speed up the Fusion Progress. Damn it, how many good things has this Panel kid been hiding from me?"
Xia Shang's evaluation of this newly unlocked Panel function was: its greatness needs no words!
He knew that he had previously racked his brain researching Mutant serum, aiming to find a substitute for Compound V. The result, however, was quite disappointing. Mutant serum was too troublesome to produce, because he couldn't possibly capture and lock up every person he wanted to fuse an Ability from in a Dark Room just to draw blood.
This new function unlocked by the Panel was nothing short of a godsend for Xia Shang.
It not only solved the problem of excessively long Fusion times but also allowed him to deal with the excess Fantasy Value he had on hand.
Of course, this didn't mean Mutant serum was completely useless. At the very least, it gave Xia Shang a new idea. Since Hank could use serum to Enhance his own Ability, it should theoretically be possible to use specialized serum to Enhance other Mutants, such as Angel Warren and Gambit LeBeau. Although the Effect might not be as good as Apocalypse's, perhaps the Effects of both could be stacked.
"Let's try out the new function first to see how well it works." Xia Shang's gaze fell upon Gambit LeBeau in the Office.
【Talent Skill: Mental Isolation】
【Fusion Condition: Get Remy LeBeau to voluntarily join Jie Er Company】
【Player has met the Fusion Condition. Fuse this Ability?】
"Fuse." Xia Shang gave the command with his will without hesitation.
Soon, a Progress bar appeared on the Panel.
【Mental Isolation is Fusing, current Progress 1% (Fusion can be accelerated)】
Xia Shang noticed an upward arrow button had appeared next to the Progress bar. Without a moment's hesitation, he directly pressed the button and invested a thousand Fantasy Value into it.
Instantly, the Progress bar moved forward a small section at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At the same time, Xia Shang felt a sharp ache in his brain, as if an inexplicable force was wantonly modifying and enhancing his brain nerves. Soon, he seemed to sense his brain beginning to secrete an invisible substance, like flowing water, flowing towards his limbs and bones. However, this substance was too weak and dissipated as soon as it reached his chest.
"This is... Mental Power?"
"No, it seems to also contain electromagnetic force."
In the depths of Xia Shang's eyes, a faint, almost imperceptible electric current flashed. This special electromagnetic force seemed to have some peculiar reaction with the Thunderstorm Weather within him. *Hiss!* A wisp of light blue electric arc suddenly shot out from Xia Shang's fingertip, then vanished in an instant.
Immediately after, the lights in the Office flickered a few times before returning to normal.
【Mental Isolation is Fusing, current Progress 21% (Fusion can be accelerated)】
A thousand Fantasy Value increased the Progress by 20%. The Effect was simply outstanding. However, Xia Shang couldn't be sure if the efficiency would be the same when Fusing other Abilities. He would have to explore this further later.
"Continue!" Xia Shang invested Fantasy Value again without stinginess.
He could see the Fantasy Value on his Panel directly decreasing from thirty-one thousand to twenty-seven thousand. With a considerable amount of Fantasy Value invested, the resulting Effect was also obvious: 【Fusion Progress 21%...35%...56%...】
Boom! It felt like someone had stuffed a bomb into Xia Shang's brain. No, not just one, but bombs into *all* his brains. In an instant, his Mental Power began to rapidly expand. If Xia Shang were to use the Cognitive Intrusion and Memory Storm Abilities, he would find that their Effects would be several times, even more than ten times, better than before.
At the same time, the Mental Power, like flowing water, spread throughout his entire body, forming an extremely thin layer on the surface of his skin that could isolate the mental power of others. This meant that unless Charles used his full Strength, it would be difficult to affect Xia Shang, let alone read Xia Shang's Memory.
In addition, Xia Shang also discovered that the electromagnetic force generated by his body could cause electromagnetic interference to the surrounding electronic devices. The range was probably close to a hundred meters.
What a thoroughly enjoyable Enhancement!
The entire Process didn't last long. To onlookers, Xia Shang had merely stood in place for less than half a minute.
【Mental Isolation Fusion completed, Progress 100%】
Xia Shang gently exhaled a turbid breath, then opened his Panel to check how many Abilities he had mastered so far.
【Player: Xia Shang】
【Talent Skill: Sword Talent, Transformation, Transfer, Parasyte Sensing, Extreme Control, Carbon Superlattice, Self-Healing Enhancement, Cyclops (Blue, Red, Yellow), Gluttony Enhancement, Adaptive Self-Healing, Heart Engine, Blood Control, Blazing Wings, Superspeed, Psychokinesis, Super Physique, Super Strength, Super Defense, Psychokinesis, Super Perception, Five Brains and Seven Hearts, Complete Mimicry, Self-Division, Flesh and Blood Recovery, Supersonic, Thunderstorm Weather, Kagune (Rinkaku, Koukaku, Rinkaku, Bikaku), Dragon Transformation, Cognitive Intrusion, Memory Storm, Full Body Ignition, Wraith, Beast Senses, Healing Regeneration, Mental Isolation】
Unknowingly, Xia Shang hadn't even realized that he actually possessed over thirty Abilities.
"Too messy." Looking at the jumbled Abilities on the Panel, Xia Shang frowned slightly, then proceeded to Fuse and overwrite them. Soon, the Panel changed into another form according to his wishes.
【Player: Xia Shang】
【Talent Skill: Undying Body: Possesses super strong self-healing ability, can rebirth from a small piece of mangled flesh, ordinary injuries can heal instantly, even if vital parts are destroyed, the player cannot be completely killed. At the same time, the player can completely control their body, splitting and recombining. In addition, they can mimic all characteristics of others, including but not limited to scent and appearance.
Furthermore, the player can change the state of their skin to achieve the effect of invisibility.
Ability Level: Gamma~Beta】
【Super Strength: Possesses strength far exceeding ordinary people, can lift a maximum of seven hundred and fifty tons with one hand. Under normal conditions, can destroy a small city in a short time.
Ability Level: Gamma~Beta】
【Cyclops: Can almost cut and melt any substance on Earth, can cut through steel in an instant, and the attack range is two kilometers.
Ability Level: Gamma】
【Teleportation: The player can move freely to any location within ten kilometers centered on themselves. At the same time, the player's movement speed is Supersonic, reaching a maximum of Mach ten.
Ability Level: Gamma~Beta】
【Electromagnetic Thunderstorm: The player can create a miniature thunderstorm, and can cause electromagnetic interference to surrounding electronic instruments by releasing electromagnetic force.
Ability Level: Gamma】
