God of Mutants
What was he doing?
After seeing Richard buy gasoline at a gas station and drive toward the manor, Ross and Shane, who had been sent to follow him, both wore puzzled expressions.
Although Luther had told them to follow Richard, he had not told them that Richard had already been expelled from the organization.
Luther and the others were indeed ungrateful, but they still cared about appearances.
Richard’s father had just been arrested, and they had voted to drive Richard out. No matter how they put it, that would sound bad.
"Should we contact Luther?"
Ross, sitting in the driver’s seat, asked Shane.
"No need. He already went back to the manor."
Shane replied with a frown.
"Fine."
After hearing Shane’s answer, Ross started the car and followed Richard back to the manor.
The parking lot in front of the manor’s main building.
When they saw Richard get out of the car and begin unloading the gasoline cans, Ross and Shane, still unaware of what was happening, quickly approached him.
"Do you need a hand?"
Ross asked Richard.
Richard gave Ross a somewhat strange look.
Seeing that Ross’s expression was perfectly calm and showed no sign of anything unusual, he quickly guessed that neither Ross nor Shane knew he had been expelled from the organization.
"Sure. I’ll have to trouble you two."
"You’re welcome. It’s what we should do."
Ross and Shane immediately picked up two cans of gasoline each and followed Richard into the manor’s main building.
As soon as he entered the main building, Richard opened one of the gasoline cans and began pouring it as he walked.
When they saw him pouring gasoline along the main building’s corridor, Ross and Shane froze for a moment.
Then, they immediately stepped in front of him.
"What are you doing?"
Ross asked at once.
"Isn’t it obvious enough?"
Richard asked Ross in return.
Uh…
Although they had guessed Richard was planning to set a fire, Ross and Shane still stared at him in confusion, unable to understand why he would do something like this.
"We can’t let you do this!" Ross continued.
Richard ignored Ross, walked around him, and continued pouring gasoline down the corridor.
Before long, he had emptied one can and was about to open the second.
At that moment, Marek and the others arrived in the corridor and stared at him with grim expressions.
"Richard, don’t go too far!" Marek shouted sternly.
"Too far? You people who just voted to kick me out have the nerve to say I’m going too far?"
Richard said calmly.
Hearing Richard’s words, Ross and Shane finally understood why Luther had told them to secretly follow Richard.
"We did it for the good of the organization!"
Marek continued.
Richard said nothing. He set down the gasoline can and raised his left hand.
Masamune!
With a thought, the over two-meter-long Masamune appeared in his hand.
What was this?
Seeing the Masamune in Richard’s hand, Marek and the others, as well as Ross and Shane, all showed surprised expressions.
"There are two kinds of people I hate most in this life. One is silence, and the other is ungrateful white-eyed wolves!"
"And you happen to be both!"
After saying that, Richard did not hesitate. Gripping Masamune in his left hand, he pushed off hard with both legs and shot toward Marek and the others.
Although the Attribute Panel did not currently display his physical attributes in detail, he had discovered while practicing Octaslash in the bedroom that his physical abilities were far from low.
Not only that, perhaps because of the Sephiroth Template, he found that Earth’s gravity had very little effect on him.
Put simply, like Sephiroth in the movie, he did not really obey the laws of gravity. With a light jump, he could leap ten or twenty meters into the air.
Holding Masamune, he arrived before Marek and the others in the blink of an eye.
Octaslash! Without any hesitation, he immediately used Octaslash.
In a single instant, he unleashed eight flowing slashes.
Slash!
The sharp Masamune sliced through Marek, Luther, and Beverly as easily as if it were cutting through cream cake, turning them into dozens of corpse chunks of varying sizes.
How was this possible?
After seeing Richard kill Marek and the other two in an instant like the Grim Reaper, Noel, Ross, and the others all wore expressions of disbelief.
They never would have imagined that Richard, who had been so timid he hardly seemed like a rich second-generation heir, possessed such a vicious side.
Nor had they imagined that Richard could unleash such astonishing combat power.
Marek and the others had been chosen by the original Richard’s father as the organization’s management partly because they were middle-aged men in their thirties and forties, with far more social experience and life experience than younger people.
The other reason was that all of them possessed decent combat abilities.
Take Marek, Luther, and Beverly, whom Richard had just killed.
Marek’s superpower was Control Electricity, while Luther’s superpowers were Super Strength and Super Constitution.
As for Beverly, he possessed the ability to freeze things.
Although the three of them were not the strongest mutants in the organization, their combat abilities ranked among the best in Crimson Manor.
Yet now, these pillars of the organization had been killed in an instant by Richard as if they were insignificant ants.
"Ross, Shane, get out!"
As Noel, Ross, and the others stared at Marek and the others’ corpse chunks in disbelief, Richard’s voice rang out.
Although Ross and Shane had no idea how Richard had gained such incredible power, there was one thing they knew for certain: Richard was not joking.
If they did not leave, they would definitely die here just like Marek and the other two.
Realizing this, Ross and Shane immediately put down the gasoline cans in their hands and left without looking back.
As for Noel and McCaw, they each began using their own superpowers.
Although they had already guessed what Richard was about to do, guessing it did not mean they had the ability to stop him.
Earth Shake!
Seeing Noel and McCaw attempt to use their superpowers, Richard struck again.
This time, he did not use Octaslash. Instead, he used Earth Shake.
In a single instant, he arrived in front of Noel, and the Masamune in his hand flashed through four lightning-fast slashes.
Like Marek and the other two, Noel was immediately reduced to a pile of corpse chunks of various sizes.
In the game, the final strike of Earth Shake had a knockback effect.
But this was not a game, so Noel and McCaw were not sent flying. They were cut into corpse chunks of varying sizes instead.
After instantly killing Noel, Richard used Zanshin on the more distant McCaw.
Purple light shone along Masamune’s blade.
As Masamune swung, several crescent-shaped "sword energies," purple on the outside and white within, shot toward McCaw at high speed.
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
The crescent-shaped "sword energies" instantly tore apart McCaw’s body, completely ending his life.
Although he had only been transported to this world a short while ago, after reviewing the original Richard’s memories and the system’s description, Richard knew that Marek and the other four were absolutely no match for him.
To put it bluntly, if he still could not defeat Marek and the other four with a cheat like the system, he would be an embarrassment to all transmigrators.
After killing Marek and the others, Richard did not immediately use the Plunder superpower. Instead, he picked up the gasoline can and continued what he had been doing.
Only after pouring out all the gasoline he had brought in and driving everyone from the main building did he unhurriedly walk over to Marek and the others’ corpse chunks.
Plunder!
Without any hesitation, he immediately used the Plunder superpower.
As the Plunder superpower took effect, invisible streams of energy flew out from Marek and the others’ remains and flowed into his right hand.
At the same time, system notifications appeared before his eyes.
New abilities acquired!X-Gene Superpower content updatedX-Gene Superpower: Plunder, Control Electricity, Super Strength, Super Constitution, Freezing, Mental Isolation, Super Self-Healing, TeleportationAlthough he had only killed five people, Richard had obtained seven superpowers through Plunder this time.
Noel possessed Teleportation and Mental Isolation, while McCaw possessed Super Self-Healing.
After glancing at his newly acquired superpowers, Richard smiled in satisfaction.
Based on the current situation, as long as he kept Plundering other people’s superpowers, he would possess thousands of superpowers like Professor X’s son, "Legion," and become an unquestionable Omega-level mutant.
Not only that, if Plunder continued to level up, he might even possess tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of superpowers at once, becoming a God of Mutants in a certain sense.
