"Alright then, how about we try a different way of guessing?"
"Why don't we guess how he got here?"
Iron Man Tony was clearly competing with Mister Fantastic Reed. Given Alex's impressive image last time, climbing the Heavenly Ladder as if walking on flat ground and emerging from a nuclear explosion, Tony knew this young man would definitely pull another trick.
"Come on, guess."
Of course, a bigger reason was Tony's determination to compete with Mister Fantastic Reed…
Chapter 54
Early the next morning, Alex leisurely finished breakfast in the apartment.
This was breakfast Susan had personally cooked for him. A simple sandwich and a small cooked cake, smeared with peanut butter; although it was made simply, Alex found it incredibly delicious.
"It's delicious, isn't it? Remember to come back. I'll make it for you every day from now on."
Susan wore a pink apron, and her petite figure looked adorable.
"You talk as if we're parting for good."
Alex helplessly ruffled her hair.
To avoid troubling her brother and being a burden, Susan naturally stayed behind. Hit-Girl Mindy also stayed with her, providing care and preventing any accidents.
"It's time to go out now."
Alex glanced at the clock; it was almost time for the public trial.
"You must be safe."
Susan walked forward and hugged him, her eyes teary as she said, "After you get revenge, let's leave this place, okay? I don't want you to keep fighting."
Alex's heartstrings were suddenly touched. Living in such a luxurious high-rise villa, his childhood dreams seemed to have come true, yet looking around, it seemed the whole world was his enemy.
When would it end?
He didn't know. But what he did know was that only when all his enemies fell would his days be peaceful.
"I promise you."
Alex smiled. Since he had promised, he could only quickly root out all potential enemies and quell the endless battles…
8:59 AM.
The public trial had almost begun.
Still wearing a black hoodie with a matching hood, Alex strolled through the streets. Yorkton City was some distance from Capital City.
However… with just one step forward, Alex instantly vanished from sight, carried by spatial ripples. The scene before his eyes changed, and his figure had already arrived in the distant Capital City.
His perception had already detected the courthouse in the distance; there were many people gathered, at least several layers deep, surrounding it.
Among them were many Mutants, holding up their signs and cheering for the Number One Mutant. Some even demanded the death penalty for General Stryker. Besides these, there were also many signs discriminating against Mutants.
The crowd was like a tide, and the voices were deafening.
Just as Alex was about to step forward again to cross the distance, his gaze caught sight of a nearby stadium.
At this moment, he understood something…
"Hasn't he arrived yet?"
"The trial has already begun. When will that guy show up?"
Inside the tens of meters tall courthouse, the Superheroes who had long been waiting were somewhat anxious.
They even wondered if that guy wouldn't come at all.
Mister Fantastic Reed, however, was very calm, merely adjusting his equipment repeatedly, ensuring there were no errors.
"Quack, is this thing really useful?"
Human Torch of the Fantastic Four couldn't help but ask.
As Mister Fantastic, who researched cutting-edge science and constantly dealt with the Negative Zone, parallel Universes, particle observation, and other fields, he was often affectionately called a "quack" by those close to him.
Mister Fantastic Reed, who had just hastily concluded his parallel Universe observation experiment, said confidently, "Don't worry, I've already understood his abilities, so I'm absolutely confident I can win against him."
And at this moment, all the Superheroes present, including the Fantastic Four, and even the nascent members of the future Avengers, were all here.
Everyone looked a bit anxious.
In fact, some of them had participated in the first battle against the Number One Mutant. Even if they hadn't experienced it personally, just hearing Dr. Banner's description made them feel a little terrified.
An indestructible physique… Eerie ability to convert external energy at will… Nearly immortal self-healing speed… Possessing a terrifying insight, capable of instantly tracking the movement trajectory of a spatial ability user… Finally.
There was also the terrifying power to disrupt reality, achieving a certain interference and alteration of the real world once angered.
These were all listed one by one by Iron Man Tony and Dr. Banner.
However, Tony still had an uncertain conclusion in his mind: the Number One Mutant seemed capable of transformation and evolution through external stimulation.
He specifically informed Mister Fantastic Reed of this point.
For this, Tony still couldn't forget Mister Fantastic Reed's smug, "I've got it all figured out" look.
"Don't worry, it'll be a direct hit, leaving him no room to resist."
Ding!!
Just then, an alarm blared on every Superhero's wristband.
"He's here."
"The Number One Mutant is here to kill. Everyone, be careful."
At this moment, even the usually flippant Tony was solemn, immediately donning his latest Mark Armor.
At this very moment, similarly located in Capital City, the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, the Triskelion, detected a massive surge of energy fluctuations emerging within the mainland via its low-Earth orbit satellite equipment.
"He's here!"
The technical staff were frantic.
Director Nick Fury looked anxious and quickly pulled the alarm device, relaying the warning to the front-line personnel.
"Oh no…"
"Another location, New Jersey, has also shown extremely strange energy fluctuations, the cause unknown, even more vast and terrifying than the fluctuations in Capital City."
What was that?
A hint of panic actually surfaced on Nick Fury's face. New Jersey was in the western desert region, worlds apart from Capital City on the East Coast. It was unlikely to be the work of the Number One Mutant.
So who caused such immense fluctuations?
This sudden situation was truly making everyone more anxious.
"Send a Helicarrier to track it. The primary objective now is to deal with the Number One Mutant who appeared in Capital City."
"Quickly mobilize local surveillance equipment. I need live footage."
Under the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s command.
