I started with the Ice-Ice Fruit, and Spider-Woman Gwen came after me.

At least not yet.

[After deducting 2 million wealth points, the second stage of the Ice-Ice Fruit awakening has reached its limit.]

A flood of information overwhelmed Hao Longtao, making his head feel a little swollen.

At the same time, his genes are constantly changing, and his body is surging with terrifying power.

His control over the Ice-Ice Fruit's power has also reached its limit.

I didn't look at the properties panel.

Hao Longtao knew that he couldn't use his Desire Points to explore another stage of the Devil Fruit right now.

Desire level is severely insufficient.

The development of the third stage of his Devil Fruit requires a desire level that could be astronomical.

"System, use Desire Points to enhance Water Control Magic."

At this point, Hao Longtao no longer hesitated and directly chose to enhance his water control magic.

These are his only two superpowers.

The potential of water manipulation magic may not be inferior to that of Devil Fruits.

[After deducting 500 million Desire Points, water control magic has reached the Dominator level!]

A vast amount of magical power was growing within his body.

This made Hao Longtao feel as if he had reached the limit of human potential.

They have reached a pinnacle that no one had ever achieved since the birth of this magic.

There is no such thing as a second stage.

But in Hao Longtao's eyes, the Dominator level is just the second stage of water control magic.

[Should I use 2 million wealth points to upgrade my water control magic to the peak of the Dominator level?]

They were still receiving magical information from the system being implanted into their minds.

Hao Longtao heard the system's voice again.

"accept!!!"

[Congratulations, host! You have reached the level of a master of water magic!]

What do you mean?

Before Hao Longtao could think much, his mind was overwhelmed by a massive amount of information.

He stood on Iceland, his eyes closed, and did not open them for a long time.

Veins were visible.

Then, water dragons appeared out of thin air, surrounding Hao Longtao, and a trident-shaped magical rune appeared in his mind.

The water control magic has reached the level of dominating the human world.

With the vast, ocean-like magical power within them, they can create water and cast water-based spells.

Naturally, this magic came from Mera, the sea queen.

But the basic ability is still water control.

Dominates water.

Standing on the vast ocean, Hao Longtao seemed to have become the god of the sea at that moment.

He could control the endless ocean with just a thought.

It also unleashed a massive tsunami that submerged everything.

If water control magic is combined with freezing ability.

It's hard to imagine who could rival me, standing on the sea.

With magic at the level of a human ruler, as long as Hao Longtao covers himself with magic power, he can turn into water, merge into the sea, and use abilities similar to water escape magic to quickly teleport.

Dominate the power of water.

Make him omnipotent.

Its potential extends beyond its freezing ability.

Hao Longtao even thought that if he were in the world of One Piece, as the current ruler of the ocean, he could practically dominate the One Piece world.

No one can rival him.

His lower body turned into water mist, and under the influence of magic, the water flowed upwards, allowing his body to escape gravity.

Looking down from 10,000 meters above the ground, the frozen islands and ocean resemble a giant icy eye appearing in the vast Atlantic Ocean.

"It's a perfect masterpiece."

Hao Longtao smiled broadly.

Let's look at the system panel again:

Name: Hao Longtao

Wealth Points: 8775 (can be used to upgrade abilities)

Desire Points: 36 million (can be used to advance through realms)

Abilities: Ice-Ice Fruit (Second Stage, Peak Awakening), Mind Immunity (Passive), Water Control Magic (Dominator Level)

Skill: Bajiquan (Transcendental Realm)

Reward: Blue Blind Box (1)

task:

[1. Ichizawa Kaori: Facing a special female hero, you can develop a relationship with her that goes beyond friendship, and you'll reap great rewards. Quest Reward: Blue Blind Box (can be stacked). Quest Attributes: Independent side quest, infinite quest.]

[2. Mission: Establish Prestige 1. The first stage involves contacting the Brotherhood of Mutants and successfully meeting Magneto. Demonstrate to Magneto the meaning of reason and that your authority is inviolable through your own strength. Mission Level: Blue.]

[3. Mission: Establish Prestige Level 2, second phase involves contacting S.H.I.E.L.D., intimidating S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, acquiring 20 Desire Points, and showing them what power truly is! Mission Level: Blue.]

The "+" sign after all skills and abilities will disappear.

He only had a mere 36 desire points left.

His wealth value has dwindled to only 80 million.

He plunged into the sea, transformed into a fish-dragon, and began his journey back home.

In an instant, Mera, the Queen of the Sea, activated her Dominator-level power, enveloping her entire body in a peculiar magic and transforming into a stream of water to teleport away.

The next second, he appeared on his own beach.

Only one percent of the magic power in his body was consumed.

With his current magic power, consuming only one percent of it demonstrates the immense power of this move.

Return to the villa.

I glanced at the wall clock.

It was already 1 a.m.

After taking a shower, Hao Longtao went straight to sleep.

Meanwhile, at a certain base in the world, alarms were being frantically triggered.

Their experimental base was destroyed.

All the surveillance footage at the last moment showed the deserted island being covered in ice.

Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s surveillance satellites in deep space also detected a massive burst of energy.

Aiming at the Atlantic Ocean, I looked toward a deserted island.

However, this deserted island has now become Iceland.

Because of the blizzard, they couldn't even see the actual situation on the island.

Chapter 47 Deterrence: Mission Completed

[Requesting flowers and monthly votes]

“An unusual energy reaction occurred in the Atlantic Ocean, and the entire island and sea surface with a diameter of more than 300 kilometers were frozen by the unusual energy.”

"Atlantic latitude...a dramatic change in weather has occurred."

"The weather was abnormal, and a blizzard obscured further satellite exploration."

Maria Hill listened intently to the information gathered by the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

His expression grew increasingly grave.

If the anomalies of the mysterious island in the Atlantic are man-made, the level of harm would be absolutely at the level of a natural disaster.

It's hard to imagine that releasing such a level of energy in the world of human activity could freeze an entire city solid.

"Search for superpowered individuals of the corresponding level!"

Maria Hill wasn't worried about natural disasters, but rather about man-made ones.

If it were man-made, this terrifying existence would already be a threat to humanity.

With Maria Hill's privileges, she could easily access S.H.I.E.L.D.'s archives.

It has a unique archive that collects information on mutants, superhumans, and so on.

The mutant is Big Head.

Because mutants are the most numerous.

As for other people who possess superpowers, most of them are the result of accidental events.

"found it."

"Among them, there are two qualified superhumans: the mutant Iceman and Ice Demon, the newest superhuman born in New York."

"It's not possible for the Ice Man to unleash such a powerful energy field fluctuation and create the current abnormal weather.

Maria Hill has had dealings with the X-Men.

It's clear that the Ice Man doesn't meet the requirements.

As for other items with strange powers, apart from the Tesseract hidden deep within a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. base, she doesn't know what other items can unleash such a huge energy fluctuation.

Ice Demon?

Maria Hill knew that Nick Fury had always wanted to recruit Ice Demon into S.H.I.E.L.D.

Based on Maria Hill's understanding of Nick Fury, she believes that Nick Fury wants to keep the uncontrollable factors in his own hands.

"Continue to monitor the mysterious islands in the Atlantic Ocean. This matter is classified as Level 8 Secret, codenamed Ice Age!"

Maria Hill unconsciously thought of an animated movie.

That's the name we chose.

She worries that if the mysterious energy continues to erupt, causing the Atlantic Ocean to freeze continuously and triggering a global meteorological chain reaction, then an ice age will truly descend upon the Earth.

As for the two superpowered individuals mentioned by the agent...

Maria Hill no longer mentions it.

She already knew what to do.

The Ice Man needs to be monitored.

But the real trouble comes from the Ice Demon.

But the agents who can work inside this floating aircraft carrier in the sky are all top-notch in the world.

Upon hearing the news, they immediately analyzed it and drew a conclusion.

It is very likely that the Ice Demon was behind it.

Some secret agents even began investigating Hao Longtao's whereabouts.

With just satellite positioning and video playback, they can track Hao Longtao's movements 24 hours a day.

"Agent Hill, you need to watch this satellite video."
