Chapter 103: Jiang Yu's New Talent
Regarding the Mutants' X-Gene.
Jiang Yu had already considered it before he decided to start Dreamwalking.
Although the core goal was Black King, to extract his life energy, and if possible, to take away all of his abilities as well.
And the result of Jiang Yu's discussion with his exclusive magic AI, Ultron, at the time was... magic! It could be said to be an alternative form of technology.
And technology is also an alternative form of magic.
What about superpowers?
Which is to say, the so-called Mutant Gene.
Can it not be replicated using magic?
The answer is yes. Technology can replicate many things that only nature can do.
Then magic should, of course, also be able to replicate superpowered individuals.
However, the idea is good.
But there are still difficulties in the actual operation process.
"Master, the complexity of the X-Gene is clearly more severe than we imagined!"
'Indeed!' Jiang Yu also sighed in his heart.
With the Eye of Truth and Ultron's dual analysis, the complexity of the X-Gene far exceeded Jiang Yu's imagination.
Trying to transform the X-Gene into X-magic, as Jiang Yu originally envisioned.
It seems a bit unfeasible.
And Mystique was enveloped by Jiang Yu's Power, which didn't seem like a long time, but in reality, she had been standing still for over half an hour.
On the opposite side, sweat beads 473 were also sliding down Jiang Yu's forehead one after another.
It seemed that Jiang Yu had encountered a lot of trouble.
However, Mystique was not in a hurry.
"Master, if we want to turn the X-Gene into magic, given the current situation, the feasibility is at most five percent. The chance of failure is too great."
Ultron's voice sounded.
Jiang Yu was somewhat helpless in the face of this result.
"If we were in our World, it should be much easier."
If he were in the Reality World, Jiang Yu could fully use magic for assistance, which would not only be more efficient.
Developing corresponding magic based on the X-Gene, this would not be too difficult whether Jiang Yu did it himself or let Ultron complete it.
At most, it would just be a matter of Time.
But at the moment, he was in a Dreamwalking state.
He should avoid using magic as much as possible, to minimize the impact of Dreamwalking on the Reality World.
"But Master!"
Ultron's tone shifted, "I suggest, Master, you can use Reality Power to rewrite this current body, using Mystique's gene as a template for the Mutant Gene!"
"Afterward, Master can collect more Mutant gene information."
Jiang Yu was slightly stunned.
Rewriting the genes of this current body would only be useful for the present (acfd). Once Jiang Yu ended Dreamwalking and returned to the Reality World.
Then the abilities brought by the rewritten genes would not be carried back at all.
"Master, I can record the gene information. With this gene information, as long as we use the Reality Stone, supplemented by the Power Stone, a complete X-Gene can still be replicated in the Reality World."
Suddenly, Jiang Yu's eyes lit up.
'Then... let's begin!'
'You continue to analyze Mystique's X-Gene, and I will control the Reality Power to rewrite the genes of this body.'
However, there was still one problem.
Jiang Yu's use of Reality Power for rewriting was not permanent.
Once the support of Reality Power was lost, the changes would gradually disappear.
But upon closer thought, this problem didn't seem to be a big deal.
If Dreamwalking ended, and this body no longer had the Mutant Gene, he could return to his original life.
It seemed quite good.
Jiang Yu began to calm down and set about modifying his current body.
And as Jiang Yu overwrote Mystique's X-Gene with Reality Power.
Soon, Jiang Yu's skin visibly began to turn blue.
But very quickly, the blue skin disappeared. The Incorruptible Body talent seemed to regard the blue skin as a side effect and directly immunized against it.
Originally, Mystique could magically assume anyone's appearance, so in essence, it was achievable.
[Congratulations to the Host for unlocking a new talent]
[Jiang Yu]
[Talents: Eye of Truth, Incorruptible Body, Original X-Gene]
[Controlled Powers: magic, Time Power, Reality Power, Space Power, Power Stone...]
[Bloodline: Phoenix Bloodline (Cosmic-level)]
Talent?
Jiang Yu frowned slightly. Was the X-Gene considered a talent?
What was the use of this talent?
[Original X-Gene: For any X-Gene information already mastered, this gene can be recorded and the ability of the corresponding gene strengthened. The more X-Gene information collected, the stronger the X-Gene's ability.]
Jiang Yu was slightly stunned.
This was equivalent to asking him to collect X-Gene fragments!
He had now obtained his first X-Gene fragment, Mystique's X-Gene, right?
Just at this moment, Ultron's voice sounded in Jiang Yu's mind.
"Master, the X-Gene you are modifying seems to have undergone some changes, completely different from Mystique's gene."
"And this change seems to have strengthened your abilities."
Jiang Yu suddenly opened his eyes.
He felt this body, which had been modified by his Reality Power and implanted with Mystique's X-Gene.
This feeling was completely different. He seemed to have acquired Mystique's shapeshifting ability.
And more importantly, it seemed that under the blessing of the Original X-Gene talent, Mystique's shapeshifting ability had been strengthened.
Not only could he transform into the corresponding target like Mystique, gaining the ability of free transformation.
He could also acquire abilities similar to the corresponding Mutant through touch.
Was this an enhancement of his abilities towards that of a Sentinel?
Jiang Yu frowned slightly.
Mystique looked at Jiang Yu. She could no longer feel Jiang Yu's Power, and opened her eyes.
Her own body hadn't changed, but when she looked at Jiang Yu again, she sensed a familiar aura from him.
Or rather, a very familiar feeling.
It was like a lion that had wandered for many years, smelling the scent of the pride, the scent of its companions.
"Did you find anything?"
Mystique asked tentatively.
Jiang Yu opened his eyes and looked at Mystique, "I can modify your appearance, but... it won't last long. Compared to that, your own ability can change your appearance."
Mystique was a bit disappointed by this answer, but... she hadn't had too many expectations anyway.
Instead, the current Jiang Yu made her very curious.
"I don't know why, but I feel like you have a unique sensation about you!"
"Is that so?"
Jiang Yu smiled.
Now that he had obtained the first X-Gene, the next step was naturally to continue acquiring more X-Genes.
With Mystique's ability, he might even be able to speed up his acquisition of other Mutants' X-Gene information.
It seemed that targeting Mystique's X-Gene as the first objective was actually a lucky coincidence.
Jiang Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Now... I need to rest for a while."
"Oh! You do need to rest!" Mystique looked at Jiang Yu, "Are you hungry? Do you need anything to eat?"
"No, thank you!"
Jiang Yu shook his head.
The person he most wanted to find now was Magneto. Magneto's ability was magnetism, one of the four fundamental forces of the Universe.
And he was not like Charles, who possessed telepathic abilities.
Although he couldn't sense Jiang Yu's thoughts, it was very easy for telepathic abilities to detect something amiss.
Chapter 104: The Awakened Beast
After parting with Mystique, Jiang Yu began to search for Eric.
However, Jiang Yu soon found Eric under a large tree. Unfortunately, he was talking to Charles.
It seemed that Charles was helping Eric develop his abilities.
So!
The matter of replicating Eric's X-Gene would have to be put on hold for now.
Charles was right there. If Jiang Yu suddenly appeared and spoke to them, even if they didn't suspect Jiang Yu, they wouldn't pay attention to him for the time being.
Let alone directly touching the other person.
It would seem too sudden.
However!
There were other targets.
"Let's get the other X-Genes first!"
First was Sean, the easiest to deal with. His ability was sonic waves.
This ability didn't greatly attract Jiang Yu.
If it weren't for his new talent, Original X-Gene, which allowed him to strengthen X-Gene abilities by collecting more X-Gene information.
Jiang Yu wouldn't even bother with such a useless ability.
"Still trying to jump off the building?"
Arriving at the balcony on the third floor of the castle.
Jiang Yu looked at Sean, who was preparing to try jumping down again.
He turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yu, "Charles said it would work, as long as I can overcome my fear and use my ability, it will be fine."
