The Black Queen said, suddenly sneering, "Shiro Yoshida, that old fox, is very cunning. Although he didn't directly agree to our plan, he was very tempted and said he could send Yukio to us first."
"I've seen Yukio. Her Mutant gene has already awakened."
Samuel raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Does he know who wants Yukio and what they want her for?"
The Black Queen nodded and said, "He should know."
Samuel sneered, "This old man is reluctant to part with his own granddaughter, but he's willing to give away others. Yukio's age should be similar to Mariko's, right?"
Yashida Mariko is only thirteen years old now, and Yukio is around the same age, both underage. Shiro Yoshida knows why someone wants her yet sends Yukio out without agreeing to the plan. Calling him an old man is not an exaggeration, right?
Thinking about it, it makes sense. He can even betray his lifesaver, let alone an adopted granddaughter he took in for the sake of his granddaughter.
"I'll take the person. You can keep her by your side and train her for now. As for Mariko, we can talk about her in a few years," Samuel said with a smile. "The drama of a sacrificed adopted granddaughter returning for revenge and sisters fighting each other should be very interesting."
The Black Queen said with understanding, "I understand."
"Overall, you completed the task I assigned you very well. I am very satisfied. Now, you have two choices."
"One, I help you enhance your abilities."
"Two, I bestow upon you a Multiverse-level power called the Phoenix Force."
Samuel wouldn't do something like wanting the horse to run without feeding it grass. If he drew too many promises, no one would believe him. Moreover, they were working for him; the stronger they were, the more benefits he would receive.
The Black Queen took several deep breaths in excitement. After a few moments, she calmed down and stated her choice.
"I choose to enhance my abilities."
The Black Queen was sure the Phoenix Force was very powerful, after all, it was said to be a Multiverse-level power. However, for her, she preferred to have her own abilities enhanced, as this was her own strength.
And she believed there would definitely be another opportunity to obtain the Phoenix Force in the future.
She didn't think there was only one Phoenix Force!
If there was only one, it wouldn't be easily bestowed upon someone else, after all, the White Queen was the most loyal and capable one. Unless she already had it, it wouldn't be someone else's turn.
"As you wish."
Samuel smiled and reached out. Space suddenly twisted bizarrely. The Black Queen sat still, but the space where she was located overlapped with the space where the table was.
Although the Black Queen and the table overlapped, there was no concept of up, down, left, or right in the conventional sense of position.
Together, yet not together.
The same position, the same space, both existed, both were real, not illusory.
Viper subconsciously reached out to the Black Queen in shock, but ended up touching nothing. When she reached down, she touched the table.
But in her line of sight, her hand was not in the Black Queen's space at all, but on the table.
She withdrew her hand and reached out again.
This time, she touched the Black Queen, and her hand appeared in the Black Queen's space, but in the table's space, her hand did not appear.
Such a bizarre scene left both Viper and the Black Queen dumbfounded.
Samuel reached out and placed his hand on the Black Queen's head. Then, dazzling special effect light lit up.
The Black Queen's body trembled, her eyes narrowed, and she said with a trembling voice of excitement, "This feeling... this power... is this enhancement? I can feel my Mind Control and Mind Control abilities becoming stronger! I... I also gained a new ability."
"I seem to be immune to damage!"
Samuel withdrew his hand, the special effect light disappeared, and space returned to normal.
This enhancement is not right!
The Black Queen's abilities are more than just Mind Control, Mind Control, and immunity to damage. Right, there's also space Distortion.
However, her signature abilities are life absorption, ability enhancement, and Shadow form.
Life Absorption: She can maintain youth and longevity by regularly absorbing other people's life force, and she can also restore injuries by absorbing life when injured.
During the absorption process, she can also remember the life history of any victim. If she only absorbs part of the life force, the victim will be under her Mind Control.
Ability Enhancement: By absorbing life energy, she can increase her speed, strength, durability, and reaction abilities to a superhuman level. She can move at superhuman speed instantly, but this will cause her to age rapidly and require more life energy.
Shadow Form: Transforms into a semi-dark matter life form that can appear or disappear at will. Can bind others in the same darkness that makes up her body.
These abilities are the fundamental reason why the name Black Queen transcends her identity and position in the Hellfire Club!
In addition, the Black Queen is also proficient in various magic, and her attainments in the field of magic are unfathomable. However, enhancement only strengthens Mutant abilities and will not increase magic abilities. To learn magic, one must go to other Worlds.
But this enhancement only strengthened her existing psychic abilities and added immunity to damage, giving a feeling of incomplete enhancement.
What does this indicate?
It indicates that the Black Queen has immense potential, and one enhancement cannot fully tap into and transform her potential. She can be enhanced a second time, or even a third time!
I don't know if others can also be enhanced multiple times. I can try it when there's a suitable opportunity in the future to see if it's due to the ability or the individual's potential!
"You, you can enhance Mutant abilities?" Viper's reaction was even more excited than the Black Queen's. She hugged Samuel's arm with both hands, and her eyes turned into vertical pupils.
Samuel hummed, and Viper quickly changed her address, "Master! Master, you can enhance Mutant abilities, so can I... can I be enhanced?"
Samuel looked at her, "Do you have the value to be enhanced?"
"Yes, I do!" Viper's mouth curved up, and she said very flatteringly, "Why don't we change locations, and give me a chance to show you my value properly?"
Bah, don't think I don't understand. Is it value you want to show?
Is this 'value' proper?
"I have a task for you. I need you to research a method that can curb Mutant Self-healing abilities and transfer them to ordinary people," Samuel said.
Viper frowned slightly. Curbing Self-healing abilities is easy to say, but transferring abilities to ordinary people is not so easy.
"This method is mainly to fool Shiro Yoshida. It doesn't necessarily have to be able to truly transfer abilities. You can change your thinking. As long as it can absorb Self-healing abilities and make him regain his youth, making him see hope is enough."
"Anyway... he won't see the final result!"
Hearing Samuel say this, Viper breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just absorbing life force to regain youth instead of completely transferring abilities, then it would be relatively much easier.
