The Mutant God in American Comics.

Chapter 33: Phantom Sword Teleportation
Richard leaned back on the sofa and slowly browsed the introduction of the seven new abilities.

【Super Vision: Telescopic Vision and Perspective】

[Attack diversion: You can divert attacks directed at you to other directions, causing them to miss or deflect.]

[Air Bullet: Compress air to create air bullets with power and speed comparable to assault rifles, which can be fired continuously]

【Invisibility: Optical Invisibility】

[Create Illusion: Use the power of the mind to make the enemy hallucinate]

[Spirit Whip: Use the power of the mind to directly attack the target's mind, making the target feel pain from the spiritual level, and the body will also feel like being shocked by a strong electric current]

[Hypnotic suggestion: hypnotize the target through the power of the mind, or leave an imperceptible psychological suggestion to the target, so that the target will unconsciously follow your arrangements]

……

As always, the introductions given by the system are very simple.

However, this was enough for Richard to know the advantages and disadvantages of these seven new abilities.

First of all, these 7 super powers are all beta-level super powers, which is not a low level.

Secondly, these 7 superpowers can produce good results at specific times.

Finally, and what surprised him the most was that among the 7 superpowers he plundered this time, 3 of them were actually superpowers in the spiritual realm.

Combined with the mind isolation and mind charm he already had, he now has a total of 5 super powers in the mind realm.

If you only look at the number, the psychic superpowers he possesses now are not few.

But unfortunately, these five psychic superpowers combined are not as good as Professor X's.

To be precise, not to mention compared with Professor X, there is still a big gap even compared with the White Queen of the Hellfire Club.

Although he is not as good as Professor X now, Richard firmly believes that as long as he continues to plunder the superpowers in the mental realm, sooner or later he will become a psychic who is not inferior to Professor X.

Not only that, his intuition told him that as long as he plundered a few more super powers in the mental realm, super powers in the mental realm such as mental isolation, mental charm, illusion creation, hypnotic suggestion, etc. would be integrated into a more comprehensive and more powerful mental ability.

Although this was just his intuition, he believed in it.

After browsing the information about the new abilities, Richard began to browse the information about the system tasks.

[Mission "Devil's Son (II)" completed! ]

[The mission reward Phantom Sword has been sent! ]

[Obtain new weapon: Phantom Sword! ]

[Phantom Sword: A weapon derived from Virgil, a long sword condensed by magic power, it is both a weapon and a skill! ]

……

The system's introduction to the Phantom Sword is as short as ever.

However, for Richard who already knew what the Phantom Sword was, even if the system did not explain it at all, he knew exactly what capabilities the Phantom Sword had and how to use it.

Unlike Dante, Virgil does not like to use firearms.

Therefore, the Phantom Sword became Virgil's main means of long-range attack.

Although it is a sword, Virgil does not use the Phantom Sword in close combat, but instead launches it like a flying sword.

In addition to being used to attack enemies from a distance, the Phantom Sword also has some additional special effects.

For example, restraining enemies, and grabbing objects to teleport yourself or enemies.

There is no need to explain how to restrain the enemy, it is used to limit the enemy's movement.

As for grabbing objects to teleport yourself or enemies, it is a teleportation ability similar to flash.

However, unlike Flash, the teleportation of Phantom Sword has certain limitations.

For example, the Phantom Sword itself needs to be used as a carrier.

When the Phantom Sword hits the enemy, you can choose to teleport yourself in front of the enemy, or you can choose to let the enemy teleport in front of you.

To put it another way, the Phantom Sword is a bit like the "Flying Thunder God Technique" with the function of reverse teleportation.

In the game, the Phantom Sword can also be used as a skill, and it has several sword formations with different functions and effects.

However, the system did not classify the Phantom Sword as a skill, but classified it as a weapon.

For Richard, this is not a bad thing, but a good thing.

Because this means that he only needs to adjust the size of the magic output to make the Phantom Sword play different speeds and powers. After recalling the various sword formations of the Phantom Sword in his mind, Richard closed the information panel and immediately began to summon the Phantom Sword.

Although they are both weapons, it is obvious that the phantom sword formed by magic power is very different from the authentic sword.

The authentic sword is a real physical long sword. It will not disappear whether it is used or not.

But the Phantom Sword is different.

Because it is a long sword condensed from magic power, the Phantom Sword cannot last as long as an authentic sword.

When the magic power used to condense the phantom sword is exhausted, or the phantom sword is launched like a flying sword, a new phantom sword needs to be condensed again.

Although he had just obtained the Phantom Sword not long ago, the moment he got it, Richard mastered the method of condensing the Phantom Sword.

With a thought, some of the magic power in his body was consumed, and a phantom sword more than one meter long, emitting azure light, appeared in his hand.

Looking at the phantom sword that was exactly the same as in his memory, Richard stood up, holding the phantom sword in his right hand, and waved it in the living room.

Although Virgil only uses the Phantom Sword as a means of long-range attack, it does not mean that he must do the same as Virgil.

No matter what, the Phantom Sword is still a sword and can be used in close combat.

Although its sharpness cannot be compared with that of an authentic sword, it is not weaker than a metal sword.

With the skills of using an authentic sword, he used the phantom sword in his right hand smoothly and skillfully without any discomfort.

If there is any difference, it is that the length of the phantom sword is much shorter than the authentic sword, and he needs to adapt to the attack distance again.

However, this was not a difficult task for him.

After practicing in the living room for a few minutes, he performed Flash and left the living room with the Phantom Sword.

After flashing several times in succession, he came to a park only two or three kilometers away from the house.

This is a very ordinary small park, not very large in area.

Because it was night, there was no one in the park.

After flashing to the park, he looked at a big tree about seventy or eighty meters away from him.

Without any hesitation, he raised his right hand and swung it lightly, and the phantom sword flew towards the tree like a flying sword.

call out!
The phantom sword flashed through the air like a blue laser, leaving a fleeting blue line.

In just a moment, the phantom sword accurately pierced the tree.

Then, it passed through the tree trunk and hit another big tree several dozen meters away, with more than half of the sword embedded in the tree trunk.

After seeing this scene, Richard used the teleportation ability of the Phantom Sword without any hesitation.

The next second, he teleported in front of the big tree as if he had used flash.

On the surface, Flash and Phantom Sword's teleportation were exactly the same, but he soon discovered the difference between the two.

Let’s not talk about the essential differences.

From the perspective of teleportation alone, the teleportation of Phantom Sword is a little "faster" than Flash.

This fast does not mean that the Phantom Sword's teleportation speed is faster, but that the Phantom Sword's teleportation has no so-called "skill pre-swing" time.

He only needs to have the idea of ​​teleportation in his mind, and he can be teleported to the front of the Phantom Sword in the first moment.

When performing Flash, there is a very short "start-up" time, which has no effect under normal circumstances, but can easily become a fatal weakness in ultra-high-speed combat.

Although this time can be captured and not many enemies can be damaged in this short period of time of only a few tenths of a second, this is still the weakness of Flash.

Inissa, who was killed by him with eight slashes in a flash in the restaurant parking lot, is a good example.

After experiencing the difference between the teleportation and flash of the Phantom Sword, Richard did not immediately return to the unoccupied house for sale, but continued to practice the Phantom Sword in the park.

Being able to use something and being able to use it proficiently are two completely different things.

In order to familiarize himself with the use of the Phantom Sword in different situations as quickly as possible, he felt that he needed to practice well.

Because if nothing unexpected happens, starting from tomorrow, he will become the most wanted criminal on the Department of Mutant Affairs' wanted list, second only to Magneto.

While he was practicing the Phantom Sword in an empty park, Cyclops and Storm were flying the X-Men's iconic Blackbird fighter at full speed towards Los Angeles.

At the same time, Mystique also rushed to Los Angeles with several members of the Brotherhood of Mutants.
