Fang Yuan inherited Sebastian Shaw's development progress, instinctively injecting the absorbed energy into various parts of his body. Then, he saw his attributes on his personal panel begin to rise.
Name: Fang Yuan
Strength: E- (E)
Constitution: E-
Agility: F+ (E-)
Spirit: D-
Energy: E+
Note: Values in parentheses are temporary attributes.
Both Strength and Agility increased by a minor level. Additionally, a new Energy attribute appeared, with an E+ rating, second only to the Spirit attribute unlocked from Charles.
Moreover, Fang Yuan also discovered that his original 35% character template development increased by 2% after he claimed it.
After much thought, Fang Yuan felt that his Constitution was slightly higher than Sebastian Shaw's, allowing him to store more energy, which led to the increase in development.
This phenomenon meant that the same ability, when in Fang Yuan's hands, would become stronger because his attributes were higher than the original owner's!
Of course, the energy provided by a single grenade wouldn't last long if used to enhance body attributes, and he didn't need to fight right now.
So, Fang Yuan directly used the energy to maintain his bodily functions, which could slow down the aging process, meaning—extending life and achieving immortality.
Compared to energy attacks, this additional effect was what excited Fang Yuan the most.
He was destined to travel through many Worlds, and lifespan was a major issue.
Boom!
At this moment, the commotion outside pulled Fang Yuan back from his joy.
Riptide held on for a few minutes, but still couldn't withstand the combined attacks of the X-Men, finally being defeated.
This also meant that Good Brother Sebastian Shaw was about to meet his end.
"Go bring them all over," Sebastian Shaw spoke first. "I'll give you two last gifts."
He straightened his clothes, intending to face his final moments with elegance.
Fang Yuan nodded. He wasn't worried that Sebastian Shaw would try any tricks, because even if he left, Telepathy would still be on Sebastian Shaw.
He teleported to the battlefield.
"Eric, Charles, stop!" Fang Yuan shouted. "Sebastian Shaw has been captured by me."
"What?"
Salvador, who had just recovered with great difficulty, couldn't believe her ears. Although Sebastian Shaw hadn't told her directly, Salvador knew that Sebastian Shaw had many backup plans. How could he have been captured?
Until now, Salvador still thought this was part of Sebastian Shaw's plan.
Everyone on the battlefield stopped, because the person who said this was Fang Yuan, so even Riptide no longer resisted.
At Fang Yuan's instruction, Riptide stirred up waves, obstructing the view of the distant warships, and Angel, who was reporting live from the sky, tacitly remained silent, continuing to fabricate the details of the battle.
Fang Yuan gathered everyone together, even bringing over White Queen and Red Devil. It was only because he was the intermediary that the two sides didn't start fighting.
After all, Riptide and the others knew that if Fang Yuan truly won, then he would be the Master of the Hellfire Club.
Charles and Eric were fine, knowing that Emma and Azazel were Fang Yuan's people, but Mystique and others didn't know. They all gritted their teeth, glaring at the people from the Hellfire Club.
Even now, they hadn't forgotten the shock Sebastian Shaw, Red Devil, and Riptide brought them that night at the CIA Base, slaughtering CIA Agents.
But since it was Fang Yuan who spoke, no one from the X-Men side made a move, as Fang Yuan had the highest prestige among them.
Fang Yuan had the X-Men hold hands, and the Hellfire Club side, being more familiar, quickly pulled Red Devil in.
Poof!
Poof!
No one saw it except Angel. The two sides, who were originally fighting fiercely, had now simultaneously vanished from the field.
However, the waves on the shore made both the United States and Russia believe the battle was still ongoing.
Inside the submarine, after everyone teleported in, they saw Sebastian Shaw, dressed in a White suit, sitting on a sofa with a glass of champagne in his hand.
Although defeat was certain, no one could see a hint of remorse on Sebastian Shaw's face.
Only Eric, upon seeing Sebastian Shaw, instantly had red eyes.
If Charles hadn't held him back, he probably would have immediately killed this murderer of his mother.
"Don't rush, we'll take it one step at a time."
Sebastian Shaw ignored Eric's killing intent. He first turned and looked deeply at White Queen and Red Devil.
Emma's gaze was a bit evasive, but Red Devil looked Sebastian Shaw squarely in the eye.
In fact, even now, Sebastian Shaw theoretically still had hope of turning the tables.
That would be for White Queen to betray them again, using her Telepathy-blocking ability to help Sebastian Shaw escape mental control. If she acted quickly enough, it might still be possible before Fang Yuan caused Sebastian Shaw's brain Death.
But Emma sighed softly, and then her eyes became firm.
Once she made her choice, she wouldn't change it.
"A very good choice."
So Sebastian Shaw also spoke.
He didn't resent the two for being poached by Fang Yuan, after all, even he himself had been misled and underestimated Fang Yuan's destructive power.
"I admit, Fang Yuan won."
"From now on, you two will follow Fang Yuan," he said to Riptide and Salvador.
Riptide didn't mind, but Salvador felt completely unwell.
This morning she was still dreaming of ruling the World.
Then Sebastian Shaw stood up and looked towards the X-Men.
Sean, who was more timid, directly took a small step back, and even Charles and Eric tensed their bodies.
However, Sebastian Shaw didn't make a move, just looked at them with a hint of envy.
"You are very lucky, Fang Yuan stands with humanity."
He said with a sigh: "If Fang Yuan had agreed to be with me, you wouldn't even have had the chance to stand before me."
Upon hearing this, the X-Men were filled with relief.
Not to mention Mutant abilities, they had all personally experienced Fang Yuan's individual power.
Fang Yuan could now elevate Mutants to a divine status; if Fang Yuan were against them, he could naturally and easily bring Mutants into disrepute.
"Fang Yuan and I made an agreement: winner takes all," Sebastian Shaw said calmly. Then he looked at Eric, "So I promised to give you closure."
Eric's eyes suddenly lit up. He hadn't expected these words to come from Sebastian Shaw's mouth.
However, Sebastian Shaw added firmly: "But you must remember, it was Fang Yuan who helped you get your revenge!"
Eric was greatly shaken. He turned to look at Fang Yuan, his eyes full of gratitude, for having his enemy Sebastian Shaw say this personally made the sentiment deeply etched in his heart.
"So, there's one last thing."
Sebastian Shaw raised his wine glass, signaling to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan understood, and White Queen immediately poured him a glass of champagne.
"Let us toast to the new King of Mutants—Fang Yuan!" Sebastian Shaw said.
No one present objected, not even Charles, because he had long considered Fang Yuan the leader of the Mutants.
Fang Yuan's lips curved slightly, and he gently clinked his glass with Sebastian Shaw's.
Clink!
Just like last night, when they agreed winner takes all.
Sebastian Shaw also honored that agreement.
Both drank their glasses dry.
Sebastian Shaw spoke his last words in this World.
"Now, you are the Black King."
