"His ability is called Self-Evolution, which means as long as he is alive, his body, intelligence, lifespan, immunity, and everything else will continuously evolve!" Mr. M said with a grin to Shin.
Shin's eyes widened. This ability was truly abnormal! Wouldn't it mean that as long as he stayed alive long enough, he could become invincible?
Speaking of which, this old man telling him to find that person, wasn't there some conspiracy involved, like diverting trouble or using someone else to kill?
After all, hadn't they said this guy was expelled by them? Could it be that because they couldn't deal with him, they were letting him and the others try?
Considering such a monstrous ability, this guy hadn't even started World War II when he was driven out. After all this time, who knew how strong he had become?
Shin's expression was a little grim as he asked, "How strong is this guy now?"
Mr. M pondered for a moment: "Based on his self-evolution speed, his current strength is roughly equivalent to, well, roughly equivalent to Captain America. He might be a little weaker, but the difference in strength definitely won't be too much."
Shin:...His strength is equivalent to Captain America? You must be kidding me, right? How slow is this guy's evolution speed?
As if seeing Shin's confusion, Mr. M spoke to him: "James's evolution is based on the human body as a template. To some extent, the better the original physical quality, the faster the evolution speed."
"After all, one is from one to ten, and the other is from ten to one hundred."
"And as his physical quality, intelligence, talent, etc., improve, his evolution speed will only get faster and faster—because his X-gene is also evolving along with it!"
Hearing this, Shin was startled. If his evolution model was this kind of nearly compound interest-like evolution, then it was indeed a very terrifying thing.
This also meant that this Dr. Nemesis hadn't lived for a long time, at most, probably only over 100 years old. If he had Apocalypse's age, he would probably be at least Thanos's level when he appeared. Shin wouldn't be surprised even if he grew to be close to Galactus.
And if Shin, with his physical quality, possessed this kind of evolutionary ability, that would also be an extremely abnormal thing. Just think about how big the gap is from an ordinary person to Captain America.
Don't talk about Captain America being the peak of human potential. Can the peak of human potential pull a military helicopter? The gap between this guy and a normal ordinary person is at least tenfold!
An ordinary person evolving tenfold in 100 years doesn't sound like a terrifying thing. If Superman could evolve tenfold in 100 years, that would truly be frightening.
What's more, Superman's various flaws could also be compensated for under this evolutionary ability. By then, red suns and kryptonite might no longer be Shin's bane!
Thinking of this, Shin finally understood why Mr. M said that this Dr. Nemesis' ability was the most suitable for him.
And if he were to replicate it now, he would be replicating Dr. Nemesis' X-gene, which had already evolved for 100 years, so the level should be higher. Theoretically, the speed of becoming stronger would only be faster.
As for whether it could be replicated... Judging from Dr. Nemesis' current evolution speed, his X-gene would definitely not be too complex, only possessing infinite potential.
Thinking of this, Shin couldn't sit still: "Where is Dr. Nemesis now? Do you have a photo of him?"
Mr. M waved his hand: "Don't worry, there's no need to be so anxious. With your ability, if you truly want to find him, you will absolutely be able to find him."
After saying that, he shifted his attention, his eyes turning to Wanda again: "The host of Chaos Magic, the ability to alter reality? What an impressive individual."
"Carrying such an ability, the pressure must be immense, right? You should have had your genes strengthened once, and you also have some other bloodlines that have greatly enhanced your power."
"Do you mind being strengthened again? That way, your resistance to Chaos Magic can be stronger, and perhaps you can truly become the master of Chaos Magic!"
What does it mean to become the true master of Chaos Magic? If Chthon is defeated, Wanda wouldn't need to do anything and could directly become the Lord of Chaos.
This was also the reason why Shin had always strengthened Wanda. Defeating Chthon was a long-term goal, and the short-term goal was for Wanda to possess the ability to resist Chthon's possession in the real world.
In fact, for a dimensional demon god, he might not truly care much about Wanda. After all, dimensional demon gods have long lifespans, are immortal, and have endless patience.
But for Wanda, knowing that such a dimensional demon god was coveting her was indeed a lot of pressure, not to mention that Chaos Magic was not that easy to use.
As soon as she heard that Mr. M could directly strengthen her, Wanda, of course, readily agreed to such a good offer... As Shin, Wanda, and the little boy Jimmy walked out of the town, Wanda's body faintly glowed red, clearly having been strengthened to the extreme.
Compared to Apocalypse's direct elevation of X-gene abilities, Mr. M likely directly modified and optimized the X-gene using atomic-level manipulation abilities combined with his superhuman knowledge. This was also why the two types of enhancements could proceed simultaneously.
Just after leaving the small town, Shin found that the town behind him had vanished without a trace. He was slightly surprised, then thought that this was probably why the mutant town was right next to New York City, yet no one could discover it.
If it weren't for the little boy Jimmy's very peculiar mutant ability, he probably wouldn't have been able to leave this small town alone, let alone get lost directly.
But honestly, taking care of Jimmy, the little boy, sounded like it wouldn't be a difficult task, but it was actually quite troublesome.
The biggest problem lay in the little boy Jimmy's superpower. As long as one got within ten meters of him, most of their superpowers would completely fail. In other words, carrying this little boy, abilities like teleportation or flight couldn't be used.
And most factions were determined to get their hands on this little boy. Protecting him really required some serious skills.
Now that he thought about it, Mr. M being able to withstand Jimmy's powerful suppressive force and create an energy field to carry everyone flying, his strength was probably much greater than Shin initially thought.
Fortunately, this kind of thing was both troublesome and not troublesome. For people like Shin and Scarlet Witch, who were already accustomed to convenient superpowers, it was quite troublesome. But if it were someone else with no superpowers who wanted to protect Jimmy, it would be quite simple.
For example, a certain Tony Stark. If he were asked to customize an Iron Man suit for this little boy, wouldn't that make it simple?
