Reborn with Steve Stand
Chapter 92:

"I think he's... like a god."

Raven looked at Fang Mo cautiously and then whispered to Sean.

Even though they spoke quietly, Darwin, who was sitting nearby, still overheard their conversation. He asked, "Wait, did you say he's a god? Why? What's his special power?"

"He didn't say," Raven replied, feeling a bit embarrassed. "We... we were too afraid to ask."

"What's the big deal? I can ask him for you."

Darwin realized these people were still like children in some ways. He got up and approached Fang Mo.

"Hi, I'm Darwin."

Darwin walked up to Fang Mo, showing his white teeth. "You heard earlier, my power is survival of the fittest. Miss Raven called you a god. We're all curious about your special power. Can you show us?"

"Oh?"

Fang Mo became interested immediately. "What? Do you all want to see me in action?"

"Well..."

Darwin thought for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, we do."

"Well, you've come to the right person."

Fang Mo smiled. "Come on, young man. I currently have techniques like Fire Release, Wood Release, Water Release, Universal Pull and Push, Shattered Heaven, and more. How about you choose one, and I'll demonstrate it for you?"

"This…"

When Darwin saw Fang Mo's sincere smile, he felt a little uneasy. He asked cautiously, "Can I ask something first? Are your powers... like Alex's? Are they dangerous?"

Fang Mo waved his hand and replied, "We're all mutants here. I won't deceive you. If you don't witness these abilities, you'll regret it for the rest of your life..."

"Yes, regret it for a lifetime."

But just as Fang Mo was trying to convince Darwin, Logan, who was drinking, interrupted suddenly, "But if you see them, your life might be in danger."

"Hey, hey, don't spoil the fun. Can't you keep your mouth shut?"

Fang Mo protested to Logan, then turned back to Darwin with a kind smile. "Young man, don't listen to your 'Wolf Uncle' and his nonsense. He holds a grudge against me. Come, be brave and choose an ability, and I'll demonstrate it for you."

Darwin became a bit anxious. "Is it really just a demonstration? It won't be fatal, right?"

"Hmm?"

Fang Mo looked at Darwin with surprise.

"What... what's the matter?"

Darwin grew nervous under Fang Mo's gaze.

"You're quite good at teasing, young man." Fang Mo couldn't help but admire him. "I heard your ability is survival of the fittest. Ah, I see... Because you adapted to my way of speaking, you understand my jokes. Truly worthy of being Darwin, truly amazing. I, Fang Mo, hereby declare you as the strongest... source of amusement."

"Oh, you flatter me."

Darwin scratched his head, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

"Well then, aren't you curious about my abilities?" Fang Mo turned to the young mutants nearby. "Come here; I'll show you something exciting."

"Something exciting?"

The group looked at each other and instinctively walked towards Fang Mo.

"I'll play a game with you."

Fang Mo revealed a mischievous smile to everyone and said, "Consider it a gift from me to all of you. But how much each person receives depends on your abilities."

After he spoke, Fang Mo then controlled Steve to place a gold block on the ground.

"Wow!"

"What... What's this?!"

"When did this appear?"

The young mutants were surprised when they saw the sudden appearance of a golden block. Someone quickly recognized it and said, "Wait... Is this gold?"

"It's real gold!"

Beast Hank, a scientist, confirmed the material. He was amazed and said, "Wow, someone can actually create gold..."

"Is this thing really gold?"

Banshee Sean was also stunned and said, "Such a big piece of gold? Maybe it's gold-plated?"

"This is the game I'm playing with you."

Fang Mo smiled and said, "You see, it's a solid gold block. Now you can try to take it, but every minute, I will catch you and you'll face a punishment. The timer will continue until you give up, okay?"

"What!?"

Excitedly, everyone asked, "Can we really take it? Can we keep it?" S~ᴇaʀᴄh the NƟvelFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Caught up in the temptation, these young mutants ignored the potential consequences. Wolverine Logan, watching from a distance, quietly looked at them with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

Well, they're still young, after all.

"Alright, let the timer begin."

Fang Mo snapped his fingers and sat on the sofa to watch.

Immediately, everyone gathered around the gold block and tried to figure out how to take a small piece from it.

Sean tried using ultrasonic waves, but gold didn't respond like glass, so it didn't work. Angel Salvadore attempted to melt the gold with her liquid, but gold is resistant to corrosion, so her idea failed.

Darwin realized that gold was relatively soft, so he bit on one of the corners.

His ability came in handy. Darwin's teeth quickly became sharp and strong, his cheeks bulged like a hydraulic cutter, and he bit off the first piece of gold.

Seeing Darwin's success, the others cheered. Mystique imitated Darwin and managed to bite off a small piece too, although it was a bit challenging.

"Hank, why don't you join us?"

As the excitement grew, Sean invited Beast Hank to participate.

"Just him? It's better if he doesn't."

Alex, who was nearby, laughed and said, "Use his big feet to dig out the gold pieces? That's silly. Can't you see Darwin is still biting it? Let's keep it clean..."

After hearing that, Hank's face turned pale, and he quietly left the activity room.

"Alex, why would you say such things about Hank?" Raven couldn't stay silent when she witnessed this. "Aren't we friends? Your words are really hurtful..."

"It was just a joke among friends," Alex shrugged. "Hank is just too insecure. I've spent years in prison because I couldn't control my powers. Did I complain? It's his own problem if he can't accept his abilities."

"Alright, Alex, let's not dwell on this."

Sean, who was nearby, interjected, "Why don't you demonstrate your powers? Can you cut this piece of gold in half?"

"Inside this room? Are you sure?" Alex hesitated. His ability was to shoot energy rings, but he wasn't very accurate. "Aren't you afraid I might destroy the entire house?"

"But we have gold," Sean said with a smile. "How much does this place cost? Even if you damage something, you can just pay for it with the gold."

"Well..."

Upon hearing this, Alex became intrigued. "Alright then, everyone step aside. Let me give it a try."

Everyone quickly moved away.

They were well aware of how destructive Alex's energy rings could be; they could slice solid metal in two.

As they attempted to cut the gold block, Charles and Erik, who had just finished their meeting in a nearby conference room, walked out. They had finalized plans to capture Sebastian in the Soviet Union and were preparing to leave in an hour.

"These youngsters aren't ready to face Sebastian yet," Erik commented as they walked.

"I believe they'll surprise you," Charles replied confidently. "They're not ordinary..."

Before he could finish his sentence, they arrived near the activity room.

A strong burning smell reached their noses. They looked up and saw that the metal sculpture in the middle of the lawn had been somehow sliced. The top part lay on the ground, and the walls around it were marked with black scorch marks.

There was a loud bang, and a red ring of energy shot out of the activity room, hitting the lawn at an angle. The grass turned black and dried up, and the ground cracked.

Despite the chaos, they could still hear cheers from inside the room.

"Come on, Alex! You were so close to splitting it!"

"Yeah, just a little more and you would've shattered it!"

Amidst the cheers, two more red energy rings flew out. One broke a nearby glass window, and the other split a water fountain that was spraying water.

"Oh my God... What's happening?"

Moira couldn't help but widen her eyes in shock.

"Let's make a guess," Erik seemed to have an idea and turned to Charles. "Did these kids do it themselves... or did our 'Mr. Nuclear Bomb' start provoking again?"

"I have a headache, and I don't want to guess..."

Charles rubbed his forehead in frustration. "Never mind, avoiding it won't solve anything. Let me see what they're up to."

Saying this, the group went directly to the window and peered inside to see what was going on.

Salvadore was flying around with a beer in his hand, Raven was awkwardly dancing on the sofa, Sean and Darwin were clapping and cheering nearby, and Alex stood in front of a golden block that had been split in half, pulsing with red energy.

"Damn it..."

Although he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but curse at the sight.

However, at that moment, they heard the sound of a chainsaw nearby.

Charles turned his head and saw Beast Hank walking purposefully towards the activity room, holding a chainsaw. But soon, he noticed Charles and his group.

Both sides froze in place.
