Kill on the Spot
Just as Richard was fantasizing about the wonderful life after becoming the God of Mutants, the system’s voice sounded in his mind.
"Control electricity can be converted into the skill ‘Great Lightning’, do you want to convert it?"
"Freezing can be converted into the skill ‘Great Blizzard’, do you want to convert it?"
Hearing the system’s voice, Richard did not hesitate at all and immediately chose "Yes."
The next second, new system information appeared in his field of vision.
Skill Great Lightning awakened!
Skill Great Blizzard awakened!
Skill and X-Gene Superpower information updated!
Skills: Octaslash (Level 1, 11/100), Earth Shake (Level 1, 1/100), Sky Tremor (Level 1, 0/100), Zanshin (Level 1, 1/100), Iai Slash (Level 1, 0/100), Great Lightning (Level 1, 0/100), Great Blizzard (Level 1, 0/100)
X-Gene Superpowers: Plunder, Super Strength, Super Constitution, Flash, Mental Isolation, Super Self-Healing
Great Lightning and Great Blizzard were both Sephiroth’s skills in the remake game.
Great Lightning unleashed lightning to attack enemies, while Great Blizzard summoned ice to attack enemies.
In terms of effects, the effects of Great Lightning and Great Blizzard were not particularly different from the control electricity and freezing superpowers.
However, in terms of growth potential, the potential of Great Lightning and Great Blizzard was far higher than that of the control electricity and freezing superpowers.
Whether it was the control electricity power plundered from Marek or the freezing power plundered from Beverly, they were only Beta-level superpowers.
Although Beta-level superpowers were not considered very bad, compared with Alpha-level and Omega-level superpowers, Beta-level superpowers were not strong.
Great Lightning and Great Blizzard were different.
Judging solely by their performance in the remake game, Great Lightning and Great Blizzard indeed could not be considered particularly strong.
But this was not in a game anymore.
According to the instructions given by the system, all skills could be continuously upgraded to the limit of the template.
Although it was not very clear where the limit of the Sephiroth template was, Richard’s intuition told him that Great Lightning and Great Blizzard should be able to upgrade to a level comparable to Alpha-level superpowers.
If the template limit was high enough, upgrading to Omega-level powers was not impossible.
Closing the information panel, Richard took a cigar lighter from his pocket that he had just taken from the living room and ignited the gasoline-soaked wall.
Then, amidst the rapidly spreading fire, he unhurriedly left the main building and came to the open space in front of the main building’s entrance.
At this time, thirty or forty people had gathered in front of the main building.
These people were all ordinary members of the organization.
They looked with complicated expressions at the main building that was gradually being swallowed by the fire, unable to understand why Richard had to be so ruthless.
Even if he was dissatisfied with Marek and the others voting to drive him away, wasn’t killing Marek and the others enough to vent his anger?
Was it necessary to burn down the main building as well?
Without the main building, where would they live in the future? Just as they were planning to say something, Richard’s voice rang out.
"The organization is dissolved, you can leave."
What? Hearing Richard’s words, everyone showed surprised expressions.
They were just wondering if Richard was going to take them to another secret base.
For example, a manor located in the suburbs of another city.
After all, the original body’s father was a billionaire, and the number of secretly purchased manors might not be just one.
As a result, they did not expect Richard to directly dissolve the entire organization.
"How can you be like this?"
"You’re too irresponsible doing this!"
"Your father didn’t make that kind of promise back then!"
"You burned down the main building, and now we don’t even have a place to live!"
"No, you must give us an explanation!"
"That’s right, either you give us enough money, or you arrange a new place for us to live, otherwise we won’t leave!"
Soon, more than a dozen people blocked Richard’s path, shouting angrily at him.
Glancing at the dozen or so people in front of him, Richard did not hesitate and silently recited in his heart.
Great Lightning! Rumble! The next second, five or six silver-white lightning bolts of varying sizes fell from the sky and struck these people.
Although he did not release Great Lightning at full power, the lightning falling from the sky still caused considerable damage to these people, knocking them all flying.
"Explanation?"
"Why should I give you an explanation!"
"What qualifications do you have to demand an explanation from me!"
"Is it based on eating my family’s food and living in my family’s house, or is it based on your greed and ingratitude?"
"My father was arrested, and instead of thinking about how to rescue him, you ate and drank like nothing happened."
"Every single one of you only knows how to say this is no good and that is bad, wanting to eat the best food and use expensive things. Since coming here, have you made any contribution?"
"No, nothing at all! You haven’t earned a single penny for the organization, nor have you done a single contributing thing. You are just a group of ungrateful wolves who only know how to eat, drink, and make merry!"
"Want an explanation, right? No problem, my explanation is that I can personally send every single one of you to hell and let you continue following Marek and the others."
"This is the explanation I will give. Do you dare to accept it!"
Even though he only occupied the original body’s body and was not the original body himself, Richard still felt angry upon seeing this group of ungrateful and unappreciative wolves.
The original body had a cowardly personality, so he usually didn’t dare to say anything.
But he was not the original body.
If it weren’t for the consideration that these people were personally brought back one by one by the original body’s father, he would have wanted to use Masamune to hack this group of ungrateful bastards to death right now.
Hearing Richard’s words, and mainly after being disciplined by him with Great Lightning, the people who had just insisted on demanding an explanation from him all turned into mutes.
Not to mention continuing to demand an explanation from Richard, even though intense pain came from their bodies, they now endured it with all their might, not daring to make a single sound for fear that Richard would continue to attack them.
"I’ll give you one minute, get the hell out of here!"
"If you are still here after one minute, I will personally send you to hell!"
After saying that, Richard ignored these people, walked straight to the Ford pickup truck he had driven earlier, and took out the other four barrels of gasoline from the cargo bed.
Seeing Richard carrying the gasoline barrels and walking toward the garage, the mutants gathered in front of the main building left one after another.
Clearly, Richard’s meaning now was that he would not let them drive away.
To be precise, he would not let them take away anything of value.
The garage, the chapel, the warehouse, the garden…
Since even the main building was burned, Richard naturally would not spare these places.
It took him more than ten minutes to set fire to all these places, and after standing in front of the main building to admire his own "masterpiece," Richard returned to the Ford pickup truck and drove away from the manor completely engulfed in flames.
Los Angeles.
Department of Mutant Affairs Los Angeles Branch.
Meeting room.
A tall, muscular middle-aged black male who looked like a bodybuilder held a document and said to the mutant agents inside the meeting room: "’Roy Wesley, who was arrested the other day, has "confessed."’
"On the surface, he is the chairman of the Wesley Group, a well-reputed billionaire who frequently participates in charitable activities."
"But these are all disguises."
"He is the founder of the underground organization ‘Crimson Manor’, and has gathered quite a few mutants who oppose the Restriction Act."
"Currently, there are a total of over 50 unregistered mutants inside Crimson Manor, among whom is his son Richard Wesley."
"According to his confession, there are only 5 Level 3 mutants inside Crimson Manor, and the rest are Level 2 and Level 1."
"This is just a small organization with ordinary strength, so there’s no need for everyone to go together. Slate, Bourne, Inessa, the three of you take a special forces team over there and bring them all back."
"Kill on the spot if they resist!"
