I Am in Marvel with Unlimited Cards

Chapter 537: IMUC Chapter 533 The Future of Mutants



I am translating a new novel (Multiverse Conquest Starting from Dragon Ball). Read it and support me.

At the CIA research base.

After Charles and Erik left, only Hank and Raven remained to look after the residential area designated for the mutants. Newcomers Salvador, Darwin, Alex, and Sean joined them.

In the main hall of the building, everyone gathered to chat about mutant-related topics. Perhaps it was because they were all mutants, but everyone felt comfortable, quickly becoming close friends.

"I never imagined that aside from Charles and me, there would be so many others like us," Raven remarked with amazement. She maintained the appearance of an ordinary woman and sat closely with Hank, a sweet and satisfied smile on her face.

"Same here. Before you all arrived, even my superior didn't know I was a mutant," Hank replied, his gaze fixed only on Raven, smiling warmly.

"Yeah, knowing we're not alone is really a blessing," Angel Salvador and the others echoed, smiling as well. That sense of belonging was likely a big reason why they chose to join.

"Hey," Darwin suggested, "Since we're all gathered here, why don't we each show off our powers?"

"I'm down," Salvador agreed with a smile.

"I'm fine with that," Raven added, and the others nodded in approval as well. With everyone here being mutants, there was no need to hide.

"I brought it up, so I'll go first," Darwin volunteered. The dark-skinned driver stood up, walked to the fish tank by the wall, and submerged his head completely in the water.

After holding his breath for a few seconds, Darwin's face transformed, growing gills, allowing him to breathe underwater. This was one of the manifestations of his adaptive mutation, leaving the group impressed.

Following this warm-up, the others no longer held back.

Hank removed his shoes and socks, revealing his beast-like, powerful feet. Raven shapeshifted into various people, perfectly mimicking their voices and expressions. 

Angel Salvador took off her shirt, revealing her four wings, and hovered in mid-air, spitting out a toxic venom capable of corroding stone statues. 

Sean opened his mouth and let out a sonic scream that shattered the hall's floor-to-ceiling windows.

Lastly, it was Alex's turn. Under everyone's expectant gaze, he had to step out of the hall into the open courtyard.

"I can barely control this power, so be careful," Alex warned. He instructed the others to hide behind a wall before he stood in the center of the yard, took a deep breath, and then shot out a series of blinding, high-energy beams.

The beams tore deep trenches into the grass and obliterated the walls and statues they struck, causing them to explode into dust.

Hank and the others, who were peeking from behind the wall, barely avoided getting hit by the beams. As they stared at the devastation caused by Alex's uncontrollable power, all of them instinctively took a sharp breath.

Unbeknownst to the group showcasing their powers, at that very moment, the entrance to the CIA research base was under a powerful mutant attack.

*Whoosh!*

A violent tornado suddenly appeared outside the gates, tearing straight through the base's entrance. 

The fortress gates, designed to withstand military assaults, crumbled under the sheer force of this natural disaster-like assault.

Metal gates, walls, statues, and soldiers— everything in the tornado's path was sucked up and hurled high into the sky.

"The main hall is under attack by an external force! The intruder— there's only one! I repeat the intruder is just one person!"

Alarms blared throughout the base. When fully armed agents rushed to the main hall to surround the invader, they were met by a single middle-aged man in a suit, fearlessly stepping inside, wearing a metal helmet.

"Halt, or I'll shoot!" 

The bulky director of this facility led the group, pulling out a special handgun and aiming at the unguarded Shaw.

"You can shoot," Shaw said without stopping, continuing to walk forward.

The bulky director gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger. Several close-range shots hit Shaw squarely in the chest. 

But Shaw's suit remained unscathed as if the bullets' kinetic energy was absorbed the moment they touched him.

Shaw smirked coldly and reached the bulky Director. Grabbing him by the neck, Shaw released the absorbed energy through his hand, sending the bulky Director's body flying backward.

"Director! Open fire!" 

The surrounding agents, their eyes wide with fury, loaded their rifles and unleashed a barrage of bullets at Shaw.

Shaw stood still, allowing the bullets to strike him. Each bullet lost its kinetic energy upon contact, leaving him completely unharmed.

Seeing the bullets were ineffective, the agents pulled out rocket launchers and fired wildly at Shaw.

Shaw only smirked, as if he had anticipated this. The rockets, trailing smoke, slammed into him, but before they could explode, Shaw compressed them with his hands, absorbing their energy like nourishment into his body.

"Now, it's my turn."

Shaw took a step forward, and the ground within a three-meter radius cracked, turning into molten rock. 

A powerful shockwave surged toward the agents like a tidal wave, sweeping them away and blasting a massive hole through the building's walls behind them.

*Boom, Boom, Boom!*

The ground within the base trembled as the mutants clashed with the agents, causing utter chaos. 

Raven and the others, untrained in combat, ran frantically through the hallways, trying to escape.

"Stop her!" 

A group of agents, who hadn't encountered Shaw, ran into the White Queen instead. In her diamond form, she strode elegantly across the courtyard as bullets bounced off her.

The White Queen gazed at the agents with cold eyes, extending her hands and unleashing a psychic attack. The agents clutched their heads in agony, collapsing like wheat before a scythe.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the base, the tornado continued to rage. A punkish youth calmly walked out from its core.

After swiftly neutralizing all the agents within the base, Shaw, the White Queen, and Riptide converged from different directions into the main hall, where Raven and the others were gathered.

"Greetings, my fellow superior beings," Shaw said, removing his metal helmet as he looked at Raven and the group huddled together. 

He smiled. "I won't harm you. In fact, I would never harm our kind."

Raven and the others remained silent, their eyes fixed on Shaw with caution.

Shaw smiled again. "My friends, a revolution for mutants is about to begin. Once our powers are exposed, we will either become slaves or lab rats for ordinary humans, or we will rise to be the rulers of a new world."

"You can choose now: become slaves, or become kings. The choice is yours. If you wish to stay and fight for ordinary humans, stay where you are. If you'd rather join us, simply step forward."

As Shaw's words sank in, Raven and the others exchanged uncertain glances, with some clearly tempted.

This was Shaw's true purpose for the attack. He didn't want to kill the mutants Charles had gathered— he wanted to plant a seed in their minds, a seed that could eventually lead them to turn against humans and fight for the mutant cause.
