The only player in the Marvel universe

Chapter 100: The Azure Beast and Sasuke have now joined the Brotherhood.
Clearly, Sebastian can only absorb energy that acts directly on him.

He could only stand there like a fool, watching the non-contact energy, like an incompetent husband.

Similarly, he can only release energy through contact, and cannot attack from a distance.

Although Sebastian had stored the missile energy he had just absorbed into his body and could release it at any time, there were no targets to lock onto on the sea surface.

This is a bit embarrassing.

"Turbulence!"

Sebastian pretended nothing had happened, silently put away his pose, and looked at the other mutant.

Upon receiving the order, Jiliu once again conjured a tornado in his hand and roared toward the patrol boat where Du Mu was!

The people on the ship panicked and rushed into the cabin. Those who couldn't escape grabbed onto something nearby, fearing they would be swept away by the tornado.

Du Mu remained calm in the face of the approaching tornado.

He activated his gravity boots and stood firmly in place, completely unaffected by the tornado.

Charles and Raven, unable to find anything to hold onto, were suddenly blown to the ground by the strong wind and instinctively clung to Du Mu's legs.

The bespectacled fat man also couldn't find anything to hold onto, and seeing that there was no space on Du Mu's thighs, he clung tightly to Charles.

Charles: "???"

Suddenly, a loud, metallic clanging sound came from the sea.

Eric resurfaced from the sea, raised his right hand, and a huge anchor was violently lifted from the water!
[NPC: Eric Lansheer]

Codename: Magneto

【Favourability: 0】

[Evaluation: A man of action, one of the leaders of mutants, and the founder of the Brotherhood. Although he is known as Magneto, he can only control metal.]

Like Charles, Eric was also one of the leaders of the mutants.

However, these are clearly future events and have little to do with them now.

What Du Mu found intriguing was that Eric seemed to be planning to form an organization called the Brotherhood.

Isn't this a coincidence?

At that moment, Eric finally remembered his abilities. He controlled the heavy anchor and swung it through the air, smashing it hard against the cruise ship!
As expected of someone who can handle big scenes, he starts with a grand spectacle!

So why didn't he use this tactic in the first place, instead choosing to become an assassin and engage in stealth assassinations?

However, Sebastian had a backup plan and quickly escaped from the submarine beneath the cruise ship with two mutant henchmen.

Eric immediately used his abilities to try to stop it, but he was completely unable to hold back such a huge submarine.

However, he insisted on not releasing his power, and under the influence of the power, he was dragged along in the sea by the submarine, which followed him all the way.

Gulu gulu!

Charles, watching the bubbles rising from the sea, cried out anxiously, "Oh no! He's about to suffocate!"

Du Mu shrugged: "Don't look at me, I've never been able to swim since I was a child."

Charles: "."

Sensing that Eric was about to collapse, Charles immediately jumped into the sea, held him tightly, and simultaneously entered Eric's consciousness through telepathy.

After much persuasion and even after swallowing a few mouthfuls of seawater, Charles finally managed to calm Eric down.

The Coast Guard then pulled the two soaking wet men from the sea onto their boat.

Although Charles was soaked to the bone and had lost one of his shoes, he was in high spirits because he had met another kindred spirit.

He first introduced himself and Raven to Eric, then pointed to Du Mu and said, "This is Du Mu. Like us, he also has special abilities."

Du Mu greeted Eric warmly, "Hello, I see you have a real talent for assassination. Would you be interested in joining our brotherhood? We happen to be short of an assassin."

Eric: "."

As expected, Sebastian and his group escaped successfully, and the Coast Guard quickly lost track of them.

In fact, even if Sebastian and his group were stopped, it wouldn't have mattered, since their gang also had Red Devil, a mutant with teleportation abilities, as a backup.

With tanks, damage dealers, crowd control, and mobility, it's a pretty perfect team composition.

In contrast, Du Mu's brotherhood seemed somewhat like a makeshift operation.

In the brief exchange just now, only Du Mu was dealing damage; Charles and Riven were almost completely useless, just clinging to his leg the whole time, not even uttering a "666" (a Chinese internet slang for "awesome").

I need to teach them properly when I get back!
After the failed attempt to capture Sebastian, the group had no choice but to return to the bespectacled fat man's research base to make further plans.

It is unknown what Charles said to Eric during this time, but Eric also went with them to the research and development base.

After witnessing Sebastian and his companions' formidable strength and learning of their collaboration with the Great Russian Empire, the bespectacled fat man immediately established a mutant department, intending to recruit mutants from all walks of life to join him and use their power to fight against Sebastian.

Upon hearing that the bespectacled fat man was using the CIA's authority to search for mutants nationwide, Du Mu agreed to the bespectacled fat man's invitation without hesitation.

Others joined the department as well, including Eric.

So, the bespectacled fat man led everyone on a tour of the research and development base.

This place mainly focuses on military technology research and development, and you can see all kinds of cutting-edge technology products that are ahead of their time, which broaden people's horizons.

Du Mu didn't react much, after all, the technology in S.H.I.E.L.D. was far more advanced than these.

"This is Hank McCoy, our most outstanding young researcher. Many of our research achievements are his work."

The bespectacled fat man then introduced a refined-looking man in a white coat.

[NPC: Hank McCoy]

Codename: Beast

【Favourability: 0】

[Evaluation: Azure Beast, the most intelligent mutant on Earth, is a top scholar with the powerful physique of a beast, which led him to choose a political career as a diplomat.]

Du Mu was overjoyed, for he had encountered yet another mutant.

Moreover, judging from this evaluation, he's no ordinary person; his intelligence and combat prowess are both top-notch.

As for choosing to become a diplomat, Du Mu thought it was perfectly normal, since those who were truly capable in battle were often civil officials.

As a telepath, Charles also realized that Hank was a mutant, and exclaimed with delight, "I didn't expect to meet other mutants here."

He never expected to encounter so many like-minded people in such a short period of time.

Does this mean that mutants are attracted to each other?

However, Hank had never revealed his true identity before, and was caught off guard by Charles's sudden revelation.

Charles, realizing this, was somewhat embarrassed and apologized repeatedly.

Fortunately, Raven came to his rescue in time, praising Hank and making him very happy. He even started to show off his superpowers, performing a Spider-Man-style handstand with his big feet that looked like hands.

Seeing that Riven was so skilled and quickly made the science guy go crazy with his screens, Du Mu suddenly had an idea.

He nudged Raven and said seriously, "Raven, you know what? Of all the fraternity members, you're the one I have the most faith in." Raven rolled her eyes.

There are only three people in the entire fraternity now.

Besides Du Mu, there was only Charles left, which she didn't think was a very good compliment.

Ignoring Raven's expression, Du Mu continued without changing his tone: "So, the guild is now giving you an important task: to invite this big-footed girl into our brotherhood."

"What's in it for me?"

Raven was rebellious from a young age. Although she joined the fraternity with Charles, it didn't mean that Du Mu could order her around at will.

"If you invite him in, I'll create a branch of the guild for you called the Sorority, and you'll be in charge of managing all the female members who join the guild from now on."

"make a deal!"

Raven was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

And she certainly didn't disappoint Du Mu. Less than five minutes after the bespectacled fat man left, Hank took the initiative to find Du Mu and asked to join the fraternity.

He said he was deeply moved by the Brotherhood's ideals and was willing to contribute to a better future for mutants!
Ignoring Hank's constant glances at Raven, Du Mu nodded and said, "Very good. I fully feel your heart that fights for mutants. I agree to your joining. Now you are a member of our Brotherhood."

Then, he patted Hank on the shoulder: "Hank, although you've just joined our fraternity, I have the highest hopes for you among all the members."

Raven: "???"

"Therefore, the guild is now giving you an important task."

Hank asked疑惑地问道：“What mission?”

Du Mu did not answer directly. Instead, he raised his hand and waved it. Under the gaze of all the mutants, the Whiplash Armor appeared out of thin air beside him.

Everyone present was shocked when they saw this futuristic steel armor.

Charles exclaimed in surprise, "What is this?"

Du Mu explained, "The Whiplash Armor has enough defense to withstand missile attacks, has ultra-long endurance and flight capabilities, and also has two high-energy electric whips, with enough destructive power to easily tear a car apart."

"hiss!"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock, once again contributing to global warming efforts.

Although they are all exceptionally talented and possess unique skills, the impact of this cutting-edge technology still brought them an unprecedented shock.

Eric's eyes lit up.

As someone who works with metal, he felt a strong connection to this steel armor.

I want it! I want it!

Hank quickly stepped forward, adjusted his glasses, and carefully examined every part of the armor's construction.

His voice trembled with excitement: "Incredible, the level of this technology is at least several decades ahead of this era."

As the most intelligent mutant on Earth, he immediately recognized that the technological level embodied in this steel armor was far beyond what this era could possess.

Especially the Ark Reactor in the very center of the Whiplash Armor, which emitted a ghostly blue light.

This is actually a stable, miniaturized, controlled nuclear fusion device!

Keep in mind that nuclear weapons were only recently developed in this era, and controlled nuclear fusion was simply a pipe dream for them!
Hank suddenly found Raven less appealing, his eyes fixed on the Whiplash Armor, muttering various scientific technical terms to himself.

Seeing that Hank was almost pressed against the Whiplash Armor, Du Mu stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Your task is to study the technology of this steel armor in depth and try to replicate it."

Hank snapped out of his daze, somewhat troubled: "This technology is far too advanced, especially this energy core. Its principles are completely beyond my comprehension. Just understanding it might take a long time, let alone replicating it."

Du Mu waved his hand: "So it means it can be replicated, right? Then it's settled. This task is assigned to you."

"Uh, actually what I meant was..."

"I hereby announce that you are now the Chief Scientist of the Brotherhood, in charge of the research department. However, the research department has not yet been established, so for the time being, you will be placed under the unified management of Raven's sorority."

"I am willing to serve the Brotherhood!"

Hank straightened up, his previously hesitant gaze instantly becoming firm.

But Da Tou quickly regained his composure, pushed up his glasses, and said, "However, the relevant research may consume a lot of budget and require the purchase of a lot of specialized equipment and materials."

Hank's statement clearly expresses his desire for money!

Du Mu chuckled easily, "Isn't that simple? This is a research and development base. You can just apply for whatever equipment and materials you need."

Hank: "."

Everyone: "."

Can we still play like this?
Seeing that Hank had no objections, Du Mu handed over the Iron Monger armor data he had obtained from Tony's office for him to study. He then handed over the Green Goblin suit and Pumpkin Bomb as well, so that Hank could study and replicate them as well.

Unlike BTs, these devices cannot self-repair or automatically replenish ammunition. Once their energy or ammunition is depleted, they are essentially just a pile of scrap metal.

That's why Du Mu decided to hand over these equipment to Hank to see if he could replicate them. After all, these were products of black technology from within the server, not equipment from the game system, and therefore did not possess those extraordinary, overpowered functions.

As the most intelligent mutant on Earth, Hank might be able to mass-produce these devices, allowing him to have a continuous supply of Iron Man armor and Green Goblin suits to use at will.

Everyone was stunned as Du Mu pulled out a series of high-tech gadgets.

Didn't we agree that your ability is magic?

This magic looks so scientific!

Eric: (ω)
I want it! I want it!

Afterwards, Du Mu reminded him, "Remember, these studies need to be kept strictly confidential. This concerns the core secrets of our Brotherhood. If it is leaked, I will turn Raven into a hairy, burly man who will be hanging around in front of you every day."

Raven: "."

Hank swallowed hard; just imagining the scene made him feel suffocated, and he immediately swore he would never reveal a single word.

Du Mu was very satisfied with acquiring Hank, a top scientist, and immediately set his sights on Eric.

According to Charles, Eric's mother was killed by Sebastian, and he himself suffered various inhuman experiments by the other party, his heart already filled with hatred.

A man with only revenge in his eyes like this will not be tempted by women; women will only affect his speed in manipulating metal.

Therefore, we need to send a man!
Du Mu patted Charles on the shoulder: "It's you I've decided on, old Charles!"

Charles: "?"

Charles's charm is in no way inferior to that of his half-sister Raven.

He used a bit of persuasion and easily won Eric over in just one night.

The next day, Du Mu saw the two of them greeting each other warmly.

"Charles!"

"Eric!"

Seeing the two men as close as brothers, Du Mu had no idea what had happened that night, nor did he want to know.

He noticed that the mission had progressed to four people, and he was quite satisfied.

We only need to recruit eight more mutants to complete the main mission!
