Chapter 446: Soaring Mental Power!
............
In a remote and relatively desolate small town near Washington D.C., USA.
Xia Shang, accompanied by Magneto and Mystique, suddenly appeared in a room at an inn.
It was clear that Magneto was in a poor state at the moment. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked exceptionally tired, as if he hadn't slept well for days. The main reason for his appearance wasn't the overuse of his power, but rather Charles's Mind Control, which Erik found truly difficult to resist.
"I can feel that Charles went easy on me. Otherwise, my brain would have turned into mush by now." Erik frowned, his face looked very unpleasant. He hadn't expected that after so many years, Charles's ability hadn't weakened but had become even stronger than before.
"To deal with Charles, I must get my helmet back."
Erik clearly remembered that his helmet had been stolen by a silver-haired kid. That guy's speed was simply outrageous. During combat, he hadn't even noticed when his helmet disappeared. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth in hatred towards that silver-haired kid.
"Your helmet should be in the hands of Mr. Jervis, president of Jie Er Company, right now. Getting it back will probably be difficult." Xia Shang walked to the window, pulled back the curtain, and looked outside. He could vaguely see a few tiny helicopters flying towards The Pentagon.
"With Raven's ability, she can infiltrate Jie Er Company and help me get my helmet back."
As soon as Erik finished speaking, he saw Xia Shang shake his head.
"The risk is too great. I can't let the few Mutants under my command take that risk. Furthermore, you need to understand that our current influence is far inferior to Mr. Jervis, who is in cooperation with Charles. Therefore, the most pressing matter is not retrieving your helmet, but finding more Mutants and bringing them into our ranks."
After listening to Xia Shang's words, Erik was silent for a moment before nodding. "You have a point. I'm going to the bathroom."
Saying this, he walked into the bathroom and washed his face in front of the mirror. Just as he was wiping his hands with a towel nearby, Mystique came up behind him. Erik looked at Mystique through the mirror and said, "Are you here to blame me?"
After all, they had spent a long time together. Seeing through Raven's thoughts wasn't difficult for Erik.
"Do you have any idea what you've done? There were many innocent ordinary humans in that building. You shouldn't have killed them so ruthlessly," Mystique said.
"So what?"
Magneto turned around and looked at Mystique, saying, "If it makes them fear Mutants, then killing even more people is worth it. Raven, you need to understand that everything I do is for the future of Mutants. Even if it means starting a real war, I won't hesitate."
"You're completely insane..." Raven looked at Magneto's eyes in disbelief. She hadn't expected Magneto to become so fanatical. Was it because that experiment list severely provoked Magneto, leading him to become so extreme?
As if reading Raven's thoughts, Erik shook his head and said, "I've always been this way; I've never changed. It's you who keeps wavering. You need to know that you are a Mutant, and only we, your fellow Mutants, are your kind."
As expected, Raven was swayed yet again, but she still maintained a certain limit. "Promise me you won't harm innocent people."
However, Erik's reply was, "I'll try."
Just then, A-Train, who had arrived at the inn, pushed open the door and said, "Boss, I couldn't kill Charles. I'm really sorry." "That's normal. It would be a surprise if Charles were that easy for you to kill," Xia Shang knocked on the bathroom door and said in a deep voice, "It's time for us to leave. If there are no hitches, we'll have to go to Egypt next."
"Egypt? Why are we going there?"
Erik, walking out of the bathroom, asked in confusion.
"Because a powerful fellow mutant of ours is buried there. Of course, it might take us a long time to find him."
"But before we find him, we need to expand our influence. At the same time, we need to make time to find more Mutants."
Xia Shang and the others walked out of the inn onto a highway. Looking at the passing cars, Xia Shang said, "Erik, you're in charge of driving us to the nearest airport."
Hearing this, Erik walked to the center of the road and raised his right hand towards an oncoming military truck.
The next second, the truck seemed to hit an invisible wall. The front of the truck instantly crumpled, and then the entire vehicle body floated up. With two bangs, the truck doors were violently ripped open. The driver, still confused about what was happening, was pulled out by Magneto using magnetic force. After all, an ordinary human has quite a few metal accessories on them, like zippers and such.
"Tell your officer this truck has been requisitioned by us."

[Analyze Complete]
[Talent Skill: Psychic Fantasy]
[Fusion Condition: Absorb over 200ml of Jason's Blood]
[After Fusion, the Player's Mental Power will be greatly enhanced. Additionally, they will be able to create illusions for those around them. The illusions created by the Player are sufficient to deceive all of a person's senses (hearing, taste, touch, etc.). Even if the target possesses Psychic Ability, they cannot be immune.]
[This Ability has an extremely high compatibility with the Player's Mental Power. After Fusion, the level of Mental Power will be upgraded to: Beta Level]
After reading the Ability description on the Panel, Xia Shang nodded with satisfaction. As long as his Mental Power increased to Beta Level, it meant he would have the capital to contend with Charles and Apocalypse in the psychic/mental aspect.
To some extent, the illusions he creates will even be enough to affect Charles and Apocalypse, these two Mutants.
"Poor guy, rest in peace." After Xia Shang finished extracting Jason's blood, he used telekinesis to destroy his brain, ending his life without any pain.
[Psychic Fantasy is Fusing, Current Progress: 1%]
As Xia Shang invested two thousand Fantasy Value into it, the Progress bar quickly advanced at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In an instant, Xia Shang felt his Mental Power swell violently. In less than a single breath, it surged to twice its original amount. [Psychic Fantasy is Fusing, Current Progress: 1%...5%...20%!]
