Chapter 273 The Reason for the Appearance of Mutants

When Noah asked the other party when his superpowers awakened, the other party not only did not answer, but attacked him instead!

The hedgehog man didn't seem to notice the gap between the enemy and himself. He even forgot that his attack had just failed and the spikes on his wrist had been crushed. He just swung his punch at the opponent.

Noah was a little speechless, the opponent's right wrist was still in his hand. So Noah did not defend against the opponent's second attack, but squeezed the opponent's wrist tightly.

"Crench!"

"what!!"

The sound of bones breaking was heard first, followed by the other party's scream.

Noah let go of the other man's wrist, and the wrist with broken bones swayed weakly in the air, shaking with the hedgehog man's painful screams.

"Can you tell me now?" Noah asked.

But the other party was still screaming, as if he didn't hear Noah's question.

This made Noah raise his eyebrows, and then he stretched out his hand and released some magic power.

The invisible magic power rushed directly to the hedgehog man, and then wrapped around him. On the hedgehog man's other hand, the dense spikes began to shake, and then Noah controlled the magic power and directly pulled out the spikes one by one.

These spikes all grew out of the hedgehog man's body. Pulling them out like pulling out your entire nail is like pulling out your entire nail. And Noah pulled out more than one. As long as the other party didn't speak, he would pull them out one by one.

“Ah! I said!!”

In severe pain, the hedgehog man finally spoke, enduring the pain. If he didn't speak, all the thorns on his body would be pulled out.

Seeing that the other party finally spoke in pain, Noah stopped what he was doing, folded his arms, looked at the other party, and waited for the other party to speak.

The hedgehog man sat down weakly on the ground, panting violently to relieve the pain, and then he spoke tremblingly:

"I..I discovered this power of mine the night before last."

The hedgehog man's voice was trembling, and it was obvious that he was afraid of Noah. After saying this, he stopped talking.

The night before yesterday? Noah pondered what the other party had said. The night before yesterday was after the Battle of New York, when they should have been attending Tony's party.

As for the power of the Mind Stone in the other person's body, Noah was also thinking about its source. After he got the Mind Stone, he never used its power on Earth, so the power of the Mind Stone should not come from him.

The only person on Earth who has used the power of the Mind Stone was General Corvus Glaive a few days ago. At that time, he was possessed by the power of the Mind Stone and constantly used the power of the stone to fight Noah, and also created a chaotic energy circle in the air.

Thinking of this, Noah suddenly realized where the power of the Mind Gem in the hedgehog man's body came from. This power was exactly the gem energy left in the chaotic energy field when he fought with General Corvus Glaive a few days ago.

In the original plot, Wanda and Quicksilver developed superpowers because of the Mind Gem. Of course, it doesn't mean that the energy of the Mind Gem can also allow other people in the Hydra base to gain superpowers. Only those who have mutant genes in their bodies can gain superpowers, and the guy in front of Noah has mutant genes in his body.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is not as overrun with mutants as the X-Men Universe. In this world, those who possess mutant genes will never awaken their powers unless there are special circumstances, and will just live their lives like ordinary people.

And now, a special situation has occurred. When Noah was using the Wind of Recovery to sweep across the world, the Wind of Recovery broke the energy field, and then swept the gem fusion energy to various parts of the world.

As a result, some people who have mutant genes in their bodies and are luckier have awakened the mutant power in their bodies, such as this hedgehog man.

However, Noah felt that only a very small number of people could awaken the power of mutants. First of all, when he was scanning the air before, he found that the hedgehog man was using his ability alone. Of course, perhaps the others were not showing off like the hedgehog man, but just hiding at home. Secondly, the energy in that energy field is not entirely composed of the power of the Mind Stone. There is also a small amount of the Space Stone power and a large amount of the Resolve Rune magic. These two powers should not be able to bring out the superpowers of other people, at least the Resolve Rune magic cannot.

Therefore, Noah thinks this place will not turn into a world like the X-Men, where mutants are rampant. However, it is unknown whether Wanda and Quicksilver will awaken their powers, because the Mind Scepter was not intercepted by Hydra as in the original plot, but was directly taken by Noah, so the Hydra base where the two are located cannot bring out their superpowers.

【mission completed】

After some thought and deduction, Noah roughly figured out the reason for the appearance of mutants. So when he thought of the last step, a prompt that the task was completed popped up in his mind.

"Huh? Is it so simple? I don't have to do anything? The task will be completed directly?" Noah was a little confused. He didn't do much in this mission. He just taught the hedgehog man in front of him a lesson, and then recalled the previous things. Just like that, the task was suddenly completed. This made Noah a little surprised. Was the system giving him benefits?

[B-level mission: Mutant? Completed, obtained 500 essence points]

500 essence points is the lowest reward among B-level tasks, but it is in line with the difficulty of this task.

Noah looked at his backpack. After the previous three 10-draw streak, he had 2800 essence points left. With these 500 essence points, he had reached half of the essence limit for 10 consecutive draws.

"Very good, it's your turn next." Noah turned off the system panel and looked at the hedgehog man.

When the hedgehog man heard Noah's voice, his body began to tremble again.

Noah touched his chin, thinking about how to deal with the other party. However, the other party kept making noises, which interfered with his thinking, so Noah simply waved his hand and knocked the hedgehog man unconscious.

"Let's see if we can remove the superpowers from his body." Noah checked the other person's physical condition.

The superpowers of mutants come from special genes in their bodies. In the world of X-Men, they call this gene X-gene. In the world where Noah lives, there are also a small number of people who have X-gene. If you want to eliminate a mutant's superpowers, you should start with his X-gene.
