"What is this!"
Cyclops and Storm's expressions both changed as they looked at the creature before them. The overwhelming pressure it exuded sent a chill down their spines.
If Bai Ye were here, he would be surprised to find that this was actually a Sentinel robot, and judging from its appearance, it was the final version, appearing over a decade earlier than in the original X-Men series.
"Whatever you are, die!"
Cyclops kept a straight face and, as before, opened the interdimensional portal connected to his eyes, unleashing two powerful beams of laser.
Facing the surging lasers, the Sentinel didn't dodge, merely raising its right hand forward, intending to block Cyclops' attack with its palm.
"You're dead!" Cyclops said confidently.
He had complete confidence in his destructive power. If the opponent, like Bai Ye before, relied on speed, it would be fine, but if they tried to block it head-on, he didn't believe anyone could withstand it.
But the next moment, Cyclops watched in disbelief as his optic blast hit the humanoid creature's palm, as if facing an impenetrable wall. The beam couldn't advance an inch.
"Impossible!" Cyclops's expression darkened as he watched the creature's palm block the beam and advance step by step.
"Hah!" Storm's eyes turned pure white as she saw the situation. She slowly floated into the air, manipulating the weather.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the Sentinel. However, it only flickered across the creature's surface without causing any damage.
"What... what kind of monster is this!"
Cyclops flashed a look of fear and turned to flee, but when he looked back, the creature had somehow already blocked his path.
It should have been behind him.
Without giving him time to think, the Sentinel, enduring Cyclops's heat vision, grabbed both of their necks as if they were little chicks and slowly tightened its grip.
Under the immense force, his face flushed red, and just before his neck was about to be snapped, the Sentinel suddenly released its grip. Then, its head drooped, as if it had crashed.
'Wha… what happened?' Both of them gasped for breath, but then two doses of anesthetic were injected into their bodies, sending them into unconsciousness.
The surviving soldiers came over and immediately lifted them. One of the officers said, "Have all the targets in the academy been captured?"
"Report, sir, everyone has been captured except for a Mutant with the ability to pass through walls."
"Good. Remember to record the data from this Sentinel battle. It's very important for later improvements." The officer said, then looked back at the robot he had forcibly shut down, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.
Even though he already understood the Sentinel's capabilities, he still hadn't expected it to perform so exceptionally.
The next day, Bai Ye got up from Camilla. He got up and went to the factory to continue his training. Looking at the machine in front of him, which had a maximum output of only 5,000 tons, he felt that it was almost no longer enough to meet his needs.
Or rather, if he hadn't been deliberately suppressing the growth of his power recently to maintain the balance of his mental attributes, this machine wouldn't have been able to meet his needs long ago.
Even if it increases slowly, in about four or five days, my physical strength will reach the limit of this machine. Bai Ye thought to himself.
However, he felt that his strength was sufficient in the movie version of the Marvel universe, so he didn't feel a strong sense of urgency at the moment; getting stronger just needed to be done step by step.
"Mr. Bai, relying on the Inner Strength reserves in our hands, we earned at least several hundred billion dollars last night." At this moment, Kingpin, who had stayed up all night, came to the factory and looked at Bai Ye, his face filled with excitement.
"Oh, and then?" On the training platform, Bai Ye asked indifferently.
"And then?" Kingpin paused for a moment and continued, "And then, last night, the pharmaceutical and biological giants came to me overnight to discuss cooperation. In the future, money will continuously flow to us."
"Also, according to your suggestion, I have already established an Inner Strength trading website in advance. In the future, most people will only trade Inner Strength on the website, and we can take a commission from each transaction. Shouldn't this be something to be happy about?"
"Should this be something to be happy about?" Bai Ye frowned.
After solving his needs, Bai Ye really wasn't very interested in money. The reason he collected taxes globally was only because he didn't want to be taken advantage of by pirates.
"I'm asking you, how are the exercise machines I requested coming along?" Bai Ye questioned.
"Well... as you know, hydraulic presses exceeding forty thousand tons are only industrially capable of being manufactured by a few countries worldwide."
"Furthermore, we need to modify it to apply the full force to such a small area of your body. This might also require gathering some special materials, such as Adamantium or Vibranium. Even if we put all our effort into manufacturing it, it'll take a month," Kingpin explained, looking troubled.
Bai Ye nodded helplessly after hearing this. Once he reached his current level, machinery became less and less helpful to his body. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before nothing on Earth could inflict any damage on him.
Meanwhile, while Bai Ye was discussing this, in the White House, the President was receiving a special guest.
"You mean, a three-seven split of the Inner Strength collected!" Inside the White House, Ellis said to the President of Equatorial Guinea, a small African nation.
"Yes," the President on the opposite side said righteously, "Allowing the civilians to possess Inner Strength is a huge destabilizing factor, causing significant damage to social order. Therefore, for their safety, I will collect all their Inner Strength and use it in the right places."
"I'm here today to sign a contract with you, hoping to get your approval. Just like the previous oil contract, we can unconditionally give you three-tenths of the Inner Strength collected."
Listening to the President of Equatorial Guinea, Ellis considered the talk of justice to be nothing but hot air, a mere excuse to exploit those below.
But Ellis calculated the profits that Equatorial Guinea's 1.4 million people could bring him, and a warm smile immediately bloomed on his face. He shook the other man's hand, saying, "I will always support Equatorial Guinea's pursuit of freedom and democracy."
"A pleasure doing business!" Both men wore satisfied smiles at this outcome.
But the next moment, a series of gunshots erupted outside the door, and in the blink of an eye, a plume of blue smoke exploded before them.
A tail, curled around a dagger, slashed through the air, aiming for Ellis's eyes, but it was knocked away by a flash of purple light.
Looking at the blue-skinned monster before him, Ellis, under the astonished gaze of the President of Equatorial Guinea, began to emit a purple glow.
I didn't expect to be attacked right after gaining Inner Strength.
"This is perfect!"
