Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

Matthew explained the situation with Velasco and Limbo to the two of them.

After learning the inside story, the teacher and student's expressions changed drastically.

Especially Colossus Piotr, the older brother, only then learned what kind of life his sister was living on the frontier.

It turns out that his younger sister had been forced to suffer constant mental and physical torment on the border of hell.

But his sister didn't mention it to him that time.

This caused Piotr an intense, agonizing feeling, as if ants were gnawing at his heart.

Her eyes were even brimming with tears.

Regret and pain tormented Piotr, causing him to kneel before Matthew, his voice hoarse and sorrowful as he pleaded.

"Great Emperor, I beg you to save Iriana. I am willing to give my life and soul if you can save her."

As the older brother, he was restless at the thought of his sister suffering so much, and wished he could personally go to the border of hell to save Iriana.

But Piotr knew he couldn't do it.

He neither had the ability to go there, nor the ability to defeat them.

Reason told him that the best way was to pray to the god before him, the Terra Emperor.

"Emperor".

Storm couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up and tried to kneel down, but an invisible force held her body in place.

Colossus Piotr was also forcibly pulled up from the ground.

“I don’t need your life or soul, Piotr.”

“You will all be Terrans in the future, and I will not allow any Terran citizen to be harmed.”

Upon hearing this, Storm and Piotr immediately beamed with joy.

The latter, in particular, had eyes full of gratitude.

"Your Majesty, is there anything we can do?"

Storm said seriously.

Matthew smiled slightly and delivered the news that was as shocking as a thunderclap.

"Terra is going to war against the border of hell. Soon, Rachel and Natasha will lead the Astartes, the Grey Knights and the Ravens on a great expedition."

"This war will last a long time."

"Piotr, would you like to participate?"

Matthew stared at Piotr.

Piot said without hesitation, "I am willing. I am willing to become the shield of the Terra Empire and protect all my comrades from all attacks."

Storm's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

"Very good, but you're too weak right now. You're not even qualified to be a shield." Matthew's words mercilessly crushed Piotr's spirits.

Piotr was not disappointed; on the contrary, he remained steadfast.

He was clever; he knew the emperor was making fun of him.

Matthew nodded to himself.

"This expedition is scheduled for fifteen days from now. These fifteen days will be your opportunity to transform. I will have someone take you to Terra for high-pressure training. If you can gain the approval of the expedition commander during these fifteen days, then you can join the expedition plan."

"If you don't gain their approval, you will lose the chance to save Iriana yourself."

"Do you understand?"

"Understood." Colossus's once gentle eyes now burned with a terrifying conviction that was chilling to behold.

"Go ahead, you have half an hour to say goodbye."

Matthew sensed that unwavering conviction, but offered no praise, only a light, casual remark.

Piot bowed respectfully and humbly, then turned and quickly left the office.

After he left, Storm asked with some concern, "Emperor, isn't Piotr still too young?"

"Is he really capable of participating in this great expedition?"

Storm is very worried about Piotr.

She had always known that Piotr was outstanding and excellent, and she thought highly of him. Professor X had even planned to recruit him into the X-Men in the future.

The problem is that this expedition is completely different.

He was about to face a demon.

Terra even needed to deploy three warbands to fight on the frontier of hell, which shows how dangerous the battlefield was.

Storm has witnessed firsthand how the three warbands train and how they spar.

Piotr was not qualified to participate at that level of combat power.

Even though Matthew gave her fifteen days to train, Storm knew that the process during those fifteen days would inevitably involve injecting serum to optimize her abilities, and that she would make rapid progress under the high-pressure training.

Storm, however, felt it was still not enough.

Piotr, fearing the consequences, was too young and impulsive.

Matthew chuckled and shook his head, saying something with a hint of deeper meaning.

"The greatest miracle of mankind is always faith. Faith often enables mankind to create incredible miracles, Orolo."

"Believe in Piotr, and also believe in a brother who loves his sister and can unleash incredible power in adversity."

People talk about family chivalry, bonds, beliefs, and such, but that's all very idealistic.

In fact, it is an indispensable force in a set of fundamental human emotional codes.

Unwavering love, familial affection, and camaraderie—these emotions can often be the catalysts for miracles.

Actually, Matthew doesn't need Piotr at all. Does this grand expedition plan really need Piotr?

What can Piotr, a young mutant, do?

What he wanted was to temper Piotr through this war, this time in the process of saving Iriana.

Colossus has always had great potential.

Colossus's mutant ability is to transform all the tissues in his body into a steel-like substance, thereby gaining superhuman strength and superhuman defense.

This substance is not steel, but a carbon steel similar to osmium, whose hardness is second only to Adamantium alloy and vibranium.

When it transforms into steel, it can withstand attacks from 110mm howitzers.

还可以经受住1吨重量的卡车装载450磅TNT炸药后以100英里时速的撞击，以及绝对零度以上华氏70度-华氏9000度的温度范围。

The downside is that its body structure will melt if the temperature exceeds 9000 degrees Celsius.

In addition, it will not rust in the known environments on Earth.

It also possesses superhuman self-healing abilities, endurance, and super strength.

Its normal strength is between 70 and 90 tons, eventually reaching around 100 tons, and at times it can go toe-to-toe with the Hulk and the Juggernaut.

Of course, the probability of losing is very high.

Its speed is a particular drawback.

It has the capabilities of a standard, clumsy, heavily armored tank.

However, despite his mediocre abilities, Matthew believed that he possessed extraordinary talent.

Matthew has always believed that mutants are a treasure trove of potential.

Especially based on the power-up system created by Matthew.

After nearly a year of gradual improvement and maturation of this system, almost everyone in Terra can confirm that, under the same conditions...

After being injected with the serum, mutants gain a significant advantage during the enhancement process.

Of course, excluding those mutant genes is simply too mediocre and garbage.

Because during the enhancement process, genes that are independent of ordinary human genes will not directly affect the original ordinary genes.

The Super Soldier Gene Serum, developed specifically for mutants, bypasses mutant genes without disrupting them, while strengthening ordinary genes, thereby achieving a physical enhancement effect.

However, the final result is often that after mutants' bodies are enhanced, their abilities are also enhanced.

In particular, most of the abilities of mutants are closely related to the brain.

At the very least, we must control the astonishing increase that will result.

A prime example is Wanda's twin brother, Pietro. His original ability to move at high speed was rapidly enhanced after he was injected with the serum, and his physical strength also increased.

He can definitely be called the fastest person besides Matthew and Natasha, who both possess the Glint-Glint Fruit ability.

How long has Pietro been receiving serum injections? How long has he been training?

At first, Pietro couldn't even activate his abilities on his own.

As for Colossus, as a standard tank ability user, the serum can fully enhance his abilities and also compensate for his speed disadvantage to some extent.

The same applies to the subsequent six techniques.

Finally, there's the three-color domineering aura.

Dominance is closely related to belief and willpower; the stronger the belief, the more exaggerated the growth rate of dominance.

What belief can compare to the bond of family?

Of course, Matthew is an exception, a truly abnormal example.

At the same time, Matthew believes that in the process, he will also gain the absolute loyalty of Piotr and Magik, the brother and sister.

It's a win-win situation.

The latter, in particular, can defeat Dormammu under certain conditions. They are all talented individuals, and Matthew, with his collecting obsession, will definitely not let any of them go.

Matthew has mastered this technique.

It's easy to get started.

The Emperor's PUA skills have reached MAX level.

As for Storm, seeing how profound Matthew's words were, and having absolute trust in him, she put her worries aside.

"Your Majesty, I also wish to contribute to the Terra Empire."

"Your brilliance doesn't need to shine now, but in the future, Orolo."

Yes~~

Half an hour later, Matthew left with Piotr, but Piotr's departure caused a huge uproar at the mutant school.

It's important to know that Piotr, as a senior student, is gentle, kind, and extremely responsible.

He was highly respected at the mutant school, and basically everyone, from young children to rebellious teenagers, liked him very much.

As a result, Piotr had to leave the school.

How could this not arouse curiosity and disappointment?

Upon inquiry, the answer was revealed: Piot was going to Terra.

As for rescuing his sister from the edge of hell, Piot didn't say anything.

Even so, the news that Piotr had joined Terra still shocked all the students.

Students were discussing it everywhere.

"By the Emperor, is Piotr joining Astartes?"

"Wow, that's so cool, really so cool. I dream of joining Astartes, wearing power armor and fighting demons."

"Actually, I want to join the Grey Knights. I heard that in addition to their powerful melee abilities, Grey Knights also know magic."

"Magic? Is it the kind of magic I understand?"

"Of course, I've heard that the Grey Knights are the Emperor's most loyal battle monks, inquisitors under the Inquisition, who specialize in fighting demons and enemies from beyond Earth."

"That's so cool."

"What about Raven? I want to join Raven."
