The Extraordinary Life of a Certain American Comic...

The cheat interface is rectangular, with a futuristic and distorted background.

A few lines of text filled the interface.

"Transcendence, Godhood"

Superb Card Slot: "1"

Extraordinary Points: "60"

First card slot: "None (Can copy all abilities the player has encountered)"

Note: "Activating the second card slot requires 200 Extraordinary Points."

"..."

Gone.

Just as Locke said before.

This cheat, which he activated two years ago on the eve of his graduation from Harvard, was so rudimentary that it was as if the god of time travel suddenly remembered that he hadn't given him a cheat, so he quickly handcrafted one and sent it to him.

Even how to use this cheat was something Locke figured out on his own.

but……

Despite the complaints, this cheat is actually quite powerful.

In a word.

The greatest function of this cheat is that it allows him to replicate the superpowers of any extraordinary creature for his own use.

The kind without any restrictions.

Of course.

The prerequisite is that you need to have a card slot.

The first card slot requires 100 Extraordinary Points to activate.

Extraordinary Points, on the other hand, are obtained by directly or indirectly killing extraordinary creatures.

The stronger the extraordinary creature, the more extraordinary points you will receive after killing it.

This is why Locke resolutely chose to join the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau after figuring out the function and usage of this cheat.

After all, the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau is currently the only law enforcement agency that can legally hunt supernatural beings.

Even so, it took Locke two years to accumulate enough Extraordinary Points to unlock the first card slot.

Unfortunately, after so many years of meticulous work since 1973, the status of mutants in the Union cannot be said to be comparable to that of African Americans. It can only be said that terrorists are treated much better than mutants.

The amount of extraordinary points one has is directly related to the strength of an extraordinary being.

and so……

Locke felt that opening the first card slot in two years was already quite fast.

However, he didn't rush to find a low-level mutant to copy his abilities immediately after opening the first slot.

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

After figuring out the capabilities of this cheat, Locke had a bold idea and plan in mind.

For example, how to use this cheat code to transform yourself into Superman in the American comic book universe!

Yes.

superman.

His cheat ability allows him to plunder superhuman abilities indefinitely, making it entirely possible for him to transform himself into a Superman from American comics.

What are Superman's abilities?

Thermal vision?

Scott Lang's laser eyes are a perfect replacement.

man of Steel?

Colossus's mutant abilities can also be replaced.

Furthermore, Superman's extraordinary speed could completely replicate Quicksilver's mutant abilities.

In a word.

It is entirely possible to transform oneself into a superhuman by becoming a mutant.

even!

He can have everything that Superman has, and he can also have things that Superman doesn't have.

He intended to reserve this first slot for Colossus.

With this cheat code, it's foreseeable that as long as he lives long enough, becoming stronger is only a matter of time.

Therefore, Locke's first choice for a superpower was defensive.

"There's just one problem..."

Locke sighed as he looked at his still empty first card slot. After closing the system panel, he looked back at Debbie, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. She had a long golden ponytail and wore a Sentinel combat uniform that accentuated her slender figure.

He was a senior agent in the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau, leading Sentinel Group 1, with independent law enforcement authority, and had two junior agents as his team members.

Debbie, sitting in the passenger seat, and Jack, who was driving, were his team members.

Locke thought for a moment.

"Debbie."

"Um."

Debbie, with her blonde ponytail and a baby face that seemed incongruous with her voluptuous figure, turned to look at Locke, who was sitting in the back seat with his legs crossed, upon hearing the voice: "Boss, what's wrong?"

Locke asked, "Any leads on the missing mutant Colossus?"

Debbie thought for a moment, then shook her head: "Still looking."

Colossus, the mutant, was exposed three months ago.

Unfortunately, the exposed address was not in New York City, but in New Jersey, across the Hudson River, where it was reported by the public.

Upon hearing the news, Locke drove to New Jersey almost immediately.

But it was too late. By the time he got there, Colossus had already escaped the encirclement and disappeared.

Three months have passed, and Colossus's whereabouts remain unknown.

If nothing unexpected happens, this Colossus has probably already been found by Professor X, Charles Xavier, and brought back to Xavier's Manor, a place known to everyone but nowhere else to be found, a place hailed as a haven for mutants.

Yes.

Everyone knows the address of Xavier's Manor.

After all, Xavier Investment Group is a well-known name on Wall Street.

but……

Knowing is one thing, but actually finding it is another.

The higher-ups at Sentinel Services have declared that whoever finds the path to Xavier Manor and takes down the mutants inside will be promoted five levels.

Countless Sentinels and agents were fascinated by this, and Locke was no exception.

Unfortunately, no one can be found.

The answer is that there is a mutant at Xavier Manor who can shield his abilities over a large area, thus protecting the manor.

Unless missiles are used to bombard the area where Xavier Manor is located.

But that's impossible too.

No politician can afford the cost of using missiles in New York City.

Even though Xavier's estate is located in the suburbs of New York City.

and so……

Unless he can find a way into Xavier Manor, it's probably impossible for Colossus to come out of Xavier Manor again.

but!

As a Sentinel, if I were to enter the mutants' lair, even if we agreed beforehand that I would only be meeting Colossus, I would probably be beaten to death by the mutants inside.

Xavier's Ranch disappeared in 1973, after the "Mutant Freedom Act" was enacted. More than 30 years have passed since then, and there are probably several thousand, if not tens of thousands, of mutants left in the ranch.

Locke shuddered involuntarily at the thought of being ganged up on by thousands of mutants as soon as he entered the manor.

No.

The path of replicating Colossus's abilities is probably not feasible at the moment.

So whose ability should he copy for his first skill?

We can't really replicate the abilities of those imprisoned misfits, can we?

Locke frowned as he thought to himself.

Just then.

Sitting in the front passenger seat, focused on driving, Jack, with a square face and a build resembling a small tank, stepped on the brake.

"We're here, boss!"

"..."
