26 New Power: Reactive Adaptability Variant

At that moment, Leo had already moved the people who were still alive. He was standing not far away and observing the three people. Seeing them stand there foolishly for a minute, Leo couldn't help but feel amused.

If I leave when you tell me to, wouldn't that be very humiliating?

"Fellow mutant, you don't have to doubt me. My purpose is not to hurt my own kind. Besides, you have the power of space. No one can stop you if you want to leave."

Seeing that nobody had appeared after so long, he couldn't help but wonder if that person had already left.

"You have an enviable power, but you don't even dare meet me? Aren't you too cautious, or rather, too cowardly?" Shaw began to goad him.

"Heh, using reverse psychology on me. Do you think I'll fall for it?" Leo thought to himself.

"But I can't stand this provocation." Leo directly appeared about ten meters in front of Sebastian.

"What are you shouting for? I'm here. If you have something to say, hurry up and say it. If not, then go!' Leo was confident that he would be able to immediately teleport if he sense any movements made at this distance.

"You have such a powerful ability. It's a waste to follow Erik and others. Why don't you follow me? When my plan is successful, you can have money, beautiful women, and when that happens, we Mutants will be the rulers of this world." Sebastian Shaw said confidently, his tone full of temptation.

"I'm not interested in money!" Leo said pretentiously.

"I can get myself a girl, and power isn't what I want, so your terms aren't attractive to me. I refuse!"

"Well, since you have made your choice, I will respect it. I hope that you can come to me if you change your mind in the future. I will welcome you to join us." It seems that Sebastian wasn't angry at Leo's refusal.

"Let's go!" Shaw turned his head and shouted at Azazel and Riptide.

Azazel and Riptide walked toward him, one on the left and the other on the right, and they grabbed onto his hands. Red light flashed and they disappeared.

"Huh, it was a close call!" Leo heaved a sigh of relief.

'Wait…'

At that moment, a red light suddenly flashed behind Leo, and the three people who had just left appeared behind Leo again. In addition, there was a ball of energy in his hand that was aimed at Leo's back.

Just as he was about to touch Leo's back, Leo felt it his mental strength spread out uncontrollably. When it touched the body of the man, it returned to Leo's mind.

Then, Leo felt a strange sensation in his body, but before he could feel it carefully, he felt a strong force behind him.

"If it was an ordinary Mutant who refused my invitation, I wouldn't kill him, I wouldn't even be angry, but you can't. Your ability is too special, and this ability can only be held in my hands. So I'm sorry, you must die." Seeing that his hand was already on Leo's back, he said with some regret.

"Let's go!"

A red light flashed, leaving only Leo behind.

However, Leo felt that he wasn't hurt at all. Instead, he felt that the energy behind him was being absorbed by his body. Moreover, his body had become a little stronger after absorbing the energy.

'What's going on?' Leo was a little stupefied this time. He thought that he was going to die, and that he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die this time, but he didn't expect things to turn out like this.

He touched his back. His skin was smooth and showed no signs of injury, but the clothes on his back were gone. They had definitely disappeared under the huge amount of energy.

But he hadn't done anything just now. Why wasn't he hurt?

…

For a moment, Leo couldn't think of anything, so he decided to go and pick up the people first. It seemed that they wouldn't be coming back.

Recalling what happened just now; Leo felt anger rushing from his mind. He didn't expect that after frequently hunting goose, he would be pecked in the eye in the end. This matter should be repaid sooner or later.

Thinking this, Leo disappeared directly and reappeared in front of the survivors. The Mutants were also here. Leo threw all the people he saved together.

"Leo, what's the situation now? How did your clothes get torn, are you injured? Is it serious?" Mystique was the first to ask, but when she saw that the clothes on Leo's back were gone, she asked with some concern.

"I'm fine. I'm not injured. Those people have already left. I'll take you back now. All of you hold your companions' hands." Leo said that he wasn't injured, and then instructed the survivors.

Soon, they did as Leo said, and he brought them back to the base.

The survivors found it hard to accept that they had returned here at this time. There were bodies everywhere, and some houses had been destroyed. It turned out that there were more than a hundred people in this base, and Leo had only saved thirty to forty people. The rest had turned into bodies.

"If you have this ability, why didn't you fight those people? Why didn't you take action earlier? If you had done it earlier, they wouldn't have died!" At that moment, a CIA agent suddenly couldn't take the shock and pointed at Leo as he shouted.

"First of all, put your hands down. I don't like being pointed at!"

"Secondly, why would I explain it to you? If you say one more word, I'll send you to those people. Don't doubt me. I'm a man of my word."

Leo was already a little angry, and now that he was criticized by someone he had saved, he directly exploded and said to the person who was pointing at him in a low voice, but the cold tone could be heard by anyone.

The agent was so frightened that he quickly put his hand down and didn't dare say anything. He still remembered the image of those people killing them. It hadn't been easy for him to survive. He didn't want to face those people again.

…

"Leo, should you be doing this?'

Mystique was the first to ask in a low voice. Leo's expression had given them a scare just now. This was the first time they had seen him like this.

"Some people will always treat your kindness as an excuse for their arrogance. There's no need to be polite with such a person."

"Okay, go back to your rooms, let them handle this. We can wait for Charles and Erik to come back."

After that, Leo walked to his room without looking back. In this base, their room was one of the few that hadn't been destroyed.

Leo couldn't wait to see what changes had taken place in his body. He needed to do some experiments now.

After a night of tests, Leo finally figured out that his change was due to the ability he copied from the driver, Darwin yesterday, whose ability was to adapt to the environment and evolve on his own. Because of the support of mental strength, Leo's ability had some variation, and he was able to use mental strength to detect a target, and then his body will respond to evolve.

Just like today's situation, because Leo's mental strength had scouted out the abilities of Sebastian Shaw, he had also developed the ability to absorb energy. However, he didn't have the ability to release energy, and could only absorb energy to strengthen his physique.
