Getting stronger and stronger starting from Marvel

In an instant, before the other party could react, the laser-eyed man, on high alert, shot out two thick laser beams, slicing the person in front of him in half.

“Scott, you…” Storm was about to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Cyclops.

"Hurry and save the students! There are only two of us teachers left in the academy. We can't hesitate any longer!" Laser Eyes said as he rushed out.

With Storm's cooperation, wherever he went, the powerful rays killed every unit he saw.

But not long after, a humanoid object more than two meters tall, covered with silver-gray metallic scales, with a diamond-shaped groove in its head, blocked his way.

Chapter 87 Assassination

"What's this!"

Upon seeing the creature before them, Cyclops and Storm's expressions changed simultaneously. The immense pressure emanating from it sent chills down their spines.

If Bai Ye were here, he would be surprised to find that this is actually a Sentinel robot, and in terms of appearance, it is the final version, which appeared more than ten years before the original X-Men series.

"I don't care what you are, just die!"

With a somber expression, Cyclops opened the interdimensional portal connecting his two eyes, just as before, and two powerful laser beams shot out from it.

Faced with the surging lasers, the sentry did not dodge, but simply raised his right hand forward, trying to block the laser eye's attack with his palm.

"You're dead!" Cyclops said confidently.

He was fully confident in his destructive power. If he could win by speed like Bai Ye before, that would be fine, but if he had to block head-on, he didn't believe anyone could stop him.

But the next moment, Cyclops watched helplessly as his beam of light struck the palm of the humanoid creature in front of him, as if facing a hard, impenetrable barrier, unable to advance even an inch.

"How is this possible!" Cyclops exclaimed incredulously, his face turning astonished as he watched the other man's palm extend forward, blocking the beam, and as he approached step by step.

"Drink!" Upon seeing this, Storm's eyes turned pure white, her body slowly floated into the air, and she manipulated the celestial phenomena.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the sentry, but after a brief flash, he was completely unharmed.

"This... what kind of monster is this!"

A flicker of fear crossed Cyclops' eyes. He turned to run away, but when he looked back, the other person was already blocking his way.

But the other person should be behind him.

Without giving him any time to think, the sentry, bracing himself against the heat of his laser eyes, grabbed both men by the neck as if they were chickens, and then gradually tightened his grip.

Under immense force, his face flushed red, and just before his neck was about to be snapped, the sentry suddenly loosened his grip, then his head drooped, as if he had frozen in place.

"W-what happened?" The two gasped for breath, but then two injections of anesthetic were injected into them, causing them to fall into a coma.

The remaining surviving soldiers approached and immediately lifted the two men up. One of the officers asked, "Have all the targets inside the academy been captured?"

"Sir, all but one mutant with the ability to walk through walls have been captured."

"Very good. Remember to record the combat data of this Sentinel. It will be very important for future improvements," the officer said, then turned back to look at the robot he had forcibly shut down, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

Even though they already knew about the Sentinels' abilities, they still didn't expect them to perform so exceptionally well.

……

The next day, Bai Ye got up from Camilla and went to the factory to continue his training. Looking at the machine in front of him, which had a maximum output of only 5000 tons, he felt that it was no longer able to meet his needs.

Or rather, if he hadn't been deliberately suppressing the growth of his power recently in order to maintain the balance of his mental attributes, this machine would have long been unable to meet his needs.

'Even if the improvement is slow, in about four or five days, my physical strength will reach the limit of this machine,' Bai Ye thought to himself.

However, he feels that his strength is enough to survive in the Marvel movies, so he doesn't feel too much urgency at the moment. Becoming stronger is just a matter of taking things one step at a time.

"Mr. Bai, relying on our internal energy reserves, 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 with excitement.

"Oh, and then?" Bai Ye asked casually from the exercise platform.

"And then?" Kingpin paused for a moment before continuing, "Then last night, pharmaceutical and biotech giants contacted me overnight to discuss cooperation, and money will be pouring into us in the future."

"At the same time, based on your suggestion, I have already set up an internal energy trading website. In the future, most people will only trade internal energy through the website, and we can take a cut from each transaction. Isn't that something to be happy about?"

"Should we be happy about this?" Bai Ye frowned.

After satisfying his needs, Bai Ye really had little interest in money. The reason he levied taxes globally was simply because he didn't want piracy to benefit him.

"I'm asking you, how's the training equipment I need coming along?" Bai Ye demanded.

"Well... as you know, only a few countries in the world have the industrial capacity to manufacture hydraulic presses with a capacity of 40,000 tons or more."

"Furthermore, we need to modify it to apply full force to such a small area of ​​your body. This may require collecting some special metals, such as adamantium or vibranium. Even if we manufacture it at full capacity, it will still take a month," Jin said with difficulty.

Bai Ye nodded helplessly after hearing this. As he reached his current level, the mechanical abilities he could use to help his body became less and less. Perhaps before long, nothing on Earth would be able to harm him.

While the White House was discussing this, inside the White House, the president was receiving a special guest.

"You mean, the collected internal energy is divided 30/70!" Inside the White House, Ellis looked at the president from the small African country of Equatorial Guinea and said.

“Yes.” The president opposite said righteously, “Giving those civilians internal energy is a huge destabilizing factor and will cause great damage to social order. So for their safety, I will collect all their internal energy and use it in the right place.”

"I came here today to sign a contract with you. I hope to get your consent. Just like the previous contract for oil, we can unconditionally give you 30% of the internal energy we collect."

Listening to the words of the President of Equatorial Guinea, Ellis regarded his so-called justice as utter nonsense, nothing more than an excuse to exploit those below him.

But after calculating the benefits that Equatorial Guinea's 140 million people could bring him, Ellis's face immediately lit up with a warm smile. He shook the other person's hand and said, "I will always support Equatorial Guinea's pursuit of freedom and democracy."

"It's a pleasure working together!" Both of them smiled with satisfaction at the result.

But the next moment a series of gunshots rang out outside the door, and in the blink of an eye a cloud of blue smoke exploded in front of the two of them.

A tail wrapped with a dagger was slicing through the air, aiming for Ellis's eyes, but was blasted away by a purple light in the next instant.

Looking at the blue-skinned monster in front of him, Ellis emitted a purple light under the astonished gaze of the President of Equatorial Guinea.

"I never expected to be assassinated so soon after gaining internal energy."

"You've come at just the right time!"

Chapter 88 The storm is coming

Inside the White House, Ellis looked at the blue-skinned mutant in front of him and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

As president, he naturally received certain privileges, and exchanged a century's worth of internal energy from Kingpin for almost the cost price.

Just like a car enthusiast who has just gotten his driver's license, he was eager to show off his skills. Unexpectedly, he got a lucky break and there was even a mutant assassination attempt.

"You started this, and I, the President of the United States, will launch an unrestricted counterattack against you based on the principle of self-defense."

After Ellis finished speaking, he frantically gestured to the guards beside him with his eyes, telling them to quickly take out their phones to film, as this was a great opportunity to show off.

The hypnotized nightwalker was completely unable to understand what the human opposite him was saying; he only knew that he had to follow orders to eliminate the other party.

But before the Nightcrawler could make a move, Ellis shouted, and his surging true energy shook the surrounding tabletops and shelves apart.

Ellis had no martial arts background and could only clumsily improve his physical fitness with his internal energy, but this was enough to deal with Nightwalkers, whose physical fitness was at most slightly better than that of ordinary people, apart from their mutant abilities.

In an instant, Ellis's body became a blur. Before the Nightcrawler could react, his right palm struck the man's chest with tremendous force, breaking several ribs and sending him flying backward, coughing up blood.

"Hmph, this palm strike is worth at least 20 billion in cash. Can you block it?" Ellis sneered.

Seeing the nightwalker a few meters away, the president wanted to press his advantage, but the other party then turned into a cloud of blue smoke and disappeared.

"Did you film the whole thing?" Ellis asked the Secret Service agent standing beside her.

"It happened too fast to be captured on camera, but the surveillance cameras inside the room should have recorded it all," the Secret Service guard said.

“Very good. Once you've copied the video, send it out immediately,” Ellis nodded seriously.

Feeling the powerful inner energy surging through his body, and recalling Bai Ye's words, a sense of confidence filled Ellis's heart.

'My internal energy of a hundred years is already so powerful, while Bai Ye only has seven hundred years of internal energy. Once the price of internal energy comes down, relying on my little treasury, surpassing him will be just around the corner,' Ellis thought to himself.

In fact, this idea wasn't just lingering in Ellis's mind.

As the creator of internal energy, Bai Ye's reputation has soared overnight, making him a veritable Newton of the new century. Naturally, many people want to climb over his fame to rise to power.

Many people are already preparing to challenge Bai Ye in the future after they acquire internal energy. In their view, Bai Ye is so powerful because he has internal energy. If everyone has internal energy, why can't they take his place?

If one were to use internal force to defeat the originator of internal force in a fair and square manner, it would be an absolutely great thing that brings both fame and fortune.

Soon, within minutes, a message went viral online: the righteous President of the United States used his inner strength to defeat the mutant demon, and there was video evidence to prove it!

As one of the most discussed topics globally, this headline instantly captured three hot issues.

Internal energy! Mutants! The President of the United States!

At this critical juncture when the nation is hotly debating internal strength, the video released by the White House quickly attracted global attention.

Upon learning of this news, the military base Stryker frowned slightly.

Looking at Charles, who was bound in front of him, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Well, although the assassination failed, the topic has now been successfully steered to mutants."

“Now it’s your turn,” Stryker said. “The brainwave amplifier will take a few more days to manufacture, so you can stay here and repent.”

"Oh, and one more thing. While you were unconscious, all your students at the academy were arrested," Stryker said with a smile, looking at the furious Professor X before leaving with a satisfied expression.

But soon Stryker was dumbfounded.

Because the public opinion was completely different from what he had imagined. Everyone was discussing internal energy, while the fact that the mutants were trying to assassinate the president was being ignored. This public opinion was completely different from what he had expected!

Did he get the headline he wanted?

……

Inside the factory, Bai Ye, who was exercising, was drawn to a message on the television.

'The president has been assassinated?' Bai Ye looked at the news broadcast on the TV opposite him with a puzzled expression. Wasn't this progressing a little too fast?

The plot of X-Men 1 wasn't even over yet, and the UN summit wasn't going to start for another few days, and then the second movie just barged in at the beginning?

'Was it my fault that the plot was changed?' Bai Ye pondered, as information about the X series began to replay in his mind.

"According to the plot, this is Stryker's plan; next comes Professor X's capture and the attack on the mutant academy."

'But Magneto is lying low now because of what I said, and Professor X has no reason to be captured. Theoretically, Stryker wouldn't act so soon; there must be something I don't know.'

'Think about what major events have happened these past few days—the UN summit? Or the upcoming Fantastic Four space mission? No, it must be my book signing event.'

'But I specifically instructed Kim not to invite Stryker to the invitation list, right? Could it be because of the live stream? Did the live stream expose Professor X's whereabouts?'

Bai Ye pondered this, then forcefully broke free from the training equipment, and with a light leap, used his spatial abilities to penetrate the tempered glass and arrive at the command room.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Smith, who was standing nearby, saw Bai Ye come out and immediately ordered the operators to shut down the equipment.
