"Beep!"
"Beep!"
"Beep!"
The piercing alarm resounded once again over the Quantico military base.
As far as the eye could see.
The base was ablaze.
Even the air seed to be on fire, a scene after the explosion of the base’s oil depot, under the night sky, the scorching flas lit up the entire base as if it were daylight.
The ground at Quantico Base was now cracked like a spider web.
The ground was erupting.
The ground was collapsing.
Once again.
Hawk had destroyed the Quantico base before.
So, he knew exactly how to destroy the Quantico Base.
Upon receiving the news, dozens of elite Delta and Ranger soldiers, who rushed here at the first mont, silently pulled the trigger aid at Hawk, who had just toppled another building.
In an instant.
The air was torn apart by a violent tal storm.
The muzzles of M4 carbines and M249 light machine guns spat scorching tongues of fire, as the 5.56-milliter bullets ford an impenetrable tal storm, showering towards Hawk, who appeared in their sights.
Ding ding ding—
The sound expected to rip Hawk’s body apart did not appear; instead, there was a series of teeth-gritting tal clinks. Not to ntion piercing Hawk’s body, once again, they couldn’t even leave a scratch on the scarlet tight battle suit Hawk now wore.
The next second.
Bang!
Hawk’s figure froze for an instant, slamming into the nearest soldier. In that mont, a mist of blood sprayed, almost at the instant Hawk collided with the soldier, the soldier’s body exploded into a mass of blood.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two M1A2 main battle tanks rolled out of the base with a roar, firing high-speed armor-piercing shells rotating at over a kiloter per second.
One aid at Hawk’s head.
One aid at Hawk’s chest.
But!
Hawk neither dodged nor evaded. At the mont when his right hand opened, almost when the shell was about to hit his head, he firmly grasped the shell. anwhile, the shell aid at his chest hit as expected.
"Boom—"
A massive fireball exploded in front of Hawk’s chest, the shockwave throwing soldiers within dozens of ters away.
When the scene appeared at the Pentagon’s operations command center, everyone tensed up involuntarily.
"Did it work?"
"Gasp!"
"Jesus Christ!"
"God!"
Just as they stared unblinkingly at the screen, hoping to see what they wanted, as the smoke cleared, Hawk was quietly hovering just fifty centiters above the ground.
The explosion couldn’t harm him at all.
Likewise.
The flas couldn’t make him retreat.
Once again.
Even though his Little Cosmos energy couldn’t temporarily project into this cosmos, his Phoenix Fire’s life essence was there.
A shrill whistling ca from the sky!
Two F22 Raptor fighters swooped down from the clouds like birds of death, releasing all air-to-ground missiles with the swing of their wings, trailing white flas, spiraling towards Hawk.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
As missiles rained down, the entire Quantico Base trembled in an instant, so soldiers who couldn’t escape in ti, and the two M1A2 main battle tanks, were also covered in this missile strike.
In a word.
Hawk had to die; as for other casualties, to the Pentagon, they were rely necessary collateral damage.
At worst, they’d issue double compensation for the dead.
No.
What happened here couldn’t get out.
So...
Just disappear, as long as Hawk died.
Unfortunately, that was impossible.
Boom!
An F22 Raptor jet, unable to evade, was instantly pierced by a streak of scarlet light, exploding into a fireball.
The next second.
Hawk instantly caught up to the climbing F22 Raptor, grabbing the root of its right wing with one hand, then tossing it to the ground like trash.
The jet spiraled into a death spiral, and before the pilot could eject, it made intimate contact with the base’s ground amidst terrified eyes and frantic roars.
Rumble!
A massive fireball rose once again.
Hawk lowered his gaze, returning to the base’s ground once more.
The chance to survive had been given when he ca last ti, but sadly, the people here didn’t cherish it.
So...
This ti, Hawk didn’t use words, just action, launching an indiscriminate attack on everything in this base, from south to north, from east to west.
Ten minutes later.
The battle abruptly ended.
At this mont, the Quantico Base had once again turned into a ruin, flas igniting at every corner of the base.
The downed jets were burning.
The torn tanks were burning.
The exploded armored vehicles were burning.
And...
The scattered, burning corpses everywhere.
In a crimson battle armor, Hawk hovered in mid-air over the fla-covered base, his eyes glinting in the firelight as he gazed towards the building by the Potomac River.
Just as he planned to set off for the Pentagon.
Suddenly.
Hawk’s gaze shifted downwards and saw a fire dragon, seemingly under so unknown control, converging from various parts of the base, and then rushing towards him.
"This is..."
"Boom!"
Hawk charged straight ahead, forcibly scattering the fire dragon that was flying towards him.
At that mont, a roar ca from the ground.
"Now’s the ti."
"Got it!"
"Freeze!"
"Crunch!"
Hawk lowered his gaze and saw several individuals wearing Sentinel uniforms appearing on the ground, seemingly coming from nowhere.
But just as his heart stirred, suddenly, a sound of freezing burst from his body.
Hawk looked towards where the sound originated.
In his sight.
Ice began to form on his feet and then rapidly spread over his calves and thighs at a visibly astonishing speed.
In just a blink of an eye, ice appeared on Hawk’s head, instantly turning him into an ice man.
"Success?"
"Nicely done, Freeze!"
"You’re not bad, Blaze."
Seeing Hawk frozen, the group exclaid with joy.
The Sentinel known as Freeze glanced at his watch.
The watch was exquisite and seed custom-made, displaying many impressive-looking icons and also a countdown tir.
This is the exclusive watch of their Sentinel Strategic Team; once they consu the ’Eighth Potion’, it automatically senses and activates the countdown feature, reminding them of the duration.
Eighth Potion!
Another successful research from the Sentinel Special Service Bureau.
Top secret.
The reason it’s called the Eighth Potion is because it was extracted from the eighth mutant.
Just like the X Gene Suppression Potion, the mutant whose abilities could suppress others and disappear is nad X within the Sentinel Special Service Bureau, hence the na.
If the X Gene Suppression Potion can suppress all known mutant abilities.
Then the Eighth Potion is quite the opposite.
It can grant anyone a mutant ability.
Note, it’s anyone, even a regular human, upon consuming the Eighth Potion, can possess a mutant ability.
Although it only lasts for five minutes, a five-minute mutant is still a mutant.
The most crucial point.
Although the abilities are limited, they co with no side effects.
And currently, including Freeze and Blaze, the six-mber Sentinel team made of four n and two won was ford through continuous selection by the Pentagon.
Their codena corresponds to the mutant ability they possess after consuming the Eighth Potion.
Blaze, controls flas.
Freeze, freezes everything.
Concealnt, not invisibility but reducing presence, can bring others along to hide in plain sight unnoticed by anyone.
Hawk didn’t see them because of Concealnt, using the five-minute mutant ability, they brought the group in front of Hawk.
"Three minutes left."
"Thought it would be more intimidating."
Freeze looked smugly at the countdown on the watch and then turned to the second female team mber: "Alright, Puppet, it’s your turn."
Puppet can control any inanimate object, for instance, temporarily reviving the dead to perform actions.
But...
Puppet closed her eyes, preparing to control the airborne Hawk to land, when she suddenly opened them in shock.
"He’s not dead."
"What?"
Freeze’s expression froze, instinctively turning to look at the iced Hawk in the air.
Boom!
The ice shattered, and Hawk’s fierce eyes locked onto the group below.
As the ice encasing Hawk burst apart, Freeze’s face turned pale instantly, his breath shifted from existence to void, spitting blood at the mont of death, and collapsing backward.
Forgot to ntion.
Although Freeze can freeze anything, the premise is he must have water on him; if not, he uses his life as water to freeze the opponent.
As long as the ice doesn’t break, Freeze won’t die.
If the ice shatters, Freeze will also die.
"Blam——"
"Freeze!"
The other Sentinels gasped instinctively witnessing this.
Blaze felt a blur before his eyes, then Hawk suddenly appeared before him, causing Blaze to roar angrily, spreading his arms to summon the surrounding flas.
"Ah——"
"Cough!"
Before Blaze could roar, Hawk had already grabbed his neck, shot into the air, arriving above the still-burning oil depot, glaring at Blaze who was strangled in his grasp.
"Enjoy playing with fire?"
"Alright."
"Let you have your fill!"
With that.
Hawk released his right hand, letting Blaze plumt freely, crashing into the flaming oil depot below.
"No——!!!"
"Boom!!!"
"..."
