Can you hide like a mouse? Alright, I'll see how long you can hide!"
When Fireman John saw that he hadn't decisively dealt with Su Zhan, he sneered ferociously, and a portion of the flames suddenly separated and rushed towards Skye!
"If you have the guts, keep hiding!"
Fireman John laughed triumphantly.
"Damn it!"
Su Zhan hadn't expected him to be so despicable as to attack Skye. Without thinking, he turned and ran towards Skye.
His speed increased to the limit; he even felt like he was about to fly. He finally caught up to the flames, but it was too late to push Skye away, so he could only stand in front of her.
"Be careful!"
Skye, as if waking from a dream, shouted urgently.
But it was already too late.
"No…"
Watching the flames strike Su Zhan, Skye screamed frantically. However, Fireman John didn't stop; the flames, like bullets, furiously struck Su Zhan.
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
The sounds were incessant, and Su Zhan was engulfed in flames.
"Haha, to die for a woman, what a fool! Too bad, even if you die, your woman… will still die!"
Fireman John laughed triumphantly, slowly walking over.
"A yellow-skinned monkey is just a yellow-skinned monkey, it can never be…" Fireman John's triumphant laughter abruptly stopped as he watched the figure gradually emerge from the flames with disbelief.
It was scarlet, like molten lava, and combined with the flames, it felt like the King of Hell had descended.
"No, this is impossible, how are you alright?" Looking at Su Zhan, whose clothes were torn, body like a lava surface, and expression cold, Fireman John shouted in disbelief, while continuously controlling the flames to attack.
However, these flames had no effect on Su Zhan.
"Is that all? Is that all you've got, Fireman John? You've disappointed me too much. If you hadn't laid a hand on my woman, perhaps… I would have played with you longer, but now… you are honored to be the first stepping stone on the path of the King!" Su Zhan's voice seemed to come from the netherworld, making Fireman John feel Fear from the depths of his heart, and he instinctively retreated, wanting to get further away!
"Swoosh!"
Su Zhan suddenly moved, instantly appearing before Fireman John, grabbing his neck and lifting him up.
The scorching high temperature instantly made Fireman John scream. He could control Fire and avoid being burned by flames, and even had a certain degree of high-temperature resistance, but… the temperature emitted by Su Zhan was too high. There were no flames, just that kind of high temperature that could melt everything.
He felt as if his neck was about to melt. He struggled desperately, controlling the flames with both hands to continuously strike Su Zhan, but he couldn't hurt Su Zhan in the slightest. He finally realized how ridiculous his earlier pride had been, thinking that his flames had made Su Zhan run everywhere. It turned out that the other party wasn't afraid of his flames at all, and was just playing with him.
He was afraid, he regretted it, and he didn't want to die!
"Apologize, beg for mercy?" He no longer cared about his dignity; Fear made him only want to beg the other party to spare him, but he couldn't make a sound at all. His strength grew weaker and weaker, and the flames were already beginning to lose his control.
He seemed to feel a power within his body being absorbed by the other party's hand, leaving his body.
"Thud!"
Su Zhan released his hand, and Fireman John collapsed directly to the ground. He felt like he was about to lose consciousness. In a daze, he seemed to see that Su Zhan's body had returned to normal, but when he raised his hands, a ball of flame was dancing between his two hands, manipulating it into various shapes.
"This… this is my Ability, you… you actually stole my Ability, you… you are a devil, you are a demon…" Fireman John used almost all his strength, screaming hysterically.
Su Zhan glanced at him, then slowly raised his palm, the flames dancing somewhat wildly.
"No…"
A loud shout came, and Su Zhan stopped, looking at Skye who had run over.
Skye shook her head slightly: "Darling, don't kill him, we'll be in trouble if you do."
"No, kill me, kill me…" Fireman John, however, screamed frantically. Having lost his Ability, he had lost his value. Magneto would no longer care about him. Losing his Ability was more painful to him than death.
Clap ~
Su Zhan clapped his hands, and the flames instantly disappeared. Then he bent down and picked up the lighter John had used earlier.
"Let's go!"
"Mm."
Skye nodded, and she and Su Zhan turned and left the alley, leaving Fireman John lying on the ground, screaming in despair…
Chapter 0009: S.H.I.E.L.D. Has an Invitation?
Su Zhan couldn't help but smile bitterly at his burned clothes. Being a Super Hero wasn't easy. If he had the chance, he really should get a combat suit or something. It wasn't for show, but for convenience.
Otherwise, if every time he acted it turned out like this, it would be too frustrating. He couldn't help but think of Hulk; his pants were one of Marvel's unsolved mysteries, always intact…
Speaking of Hulk, if he could gain his Ability, that would be amazing. At least on Earth, he would be invincible.
However, after absorbing Fireman John's Ability just now, he did discover a problem: although he could absorb Abilities through hand contact, it wasn't that easy, especially when the other party resisted, the resistance was very strong.
Extremis, Fire control Ability.
The first time was because Pepper had no resistance at all, and it was considered a serum Ability, so it was relatively easy and smooth.
And the Fire control Ability was John's innate talent, caused by the X-gene, so it was very difficult to absorb, especially when he resisted. At first, he couldn't absorb it at all. If his high temperature hadn't injured John, the absorption would definitely not have been so smooth.
Although it was completely impossible to easily devour and absorb the opponent's Ability by simply clapping his hands, it could only be absorbed when the opponent was unprepared or unable to resist, and the resistance varied with different Abilities.
So, Hulk's Ability is out of the question for now. He probably couldn't absorb it even if he stood there without resisting and let himself absorb it. Only by constantly getting stronger, stronger, and strong enough, might he be able to do it.
Of course, no matter what, this time he also absorbed the Fire control Ability, and if this Ability is used well, it's not bad!
So, even though his clothes were ruined, Su Zhan was still in a good mood.
"Sorry, Skye, I'm afraid we won't be able to have that meal!"
Su Zhan said apologetically to Skye, who was looking for clothes for him.
Skye shook her head: "It's alright, it's just that we have to leave here now." Saying that, she handed the clothes to Su Zhan, then turned to prepare to drive. Su Zhan changed his clothes and, seeing that Skye seemed relatively calm, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
It seemed that she wasn't afraid or had any thoughts because of his Ability.
It made sense, after all, there were countless Ability users in this World, and Skye had specifically researched these, so she wouldn't be too panicked.
The matter of Fireman John losing his Ability would surely become known. Putting aside the Brotherhood of Mutants for now, S.H.I.E.L.D. would definitely know it was him, after all, even though Black Widow wasn't there, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s methods of monitoring people were very clever, and they must have been monitoring him all this time.
Even if not, the characteristic of Ability absorption would make them think of him.
