Chapter 12: Killing Bullseye
[Energy Point +1]
Energy Absorption was always passively active, but even Lv.2 Energy Absorption couldn't completely absorb the dagger's kinetic energy. The remaining kinetic energy was enough to pierce his body, which was not enhanced by cursed energy.
Looking at the man's strange tight suit and the peculiar bullseye target on his forehead, Su Mu immediately recognized his identity: Bullseye!
No wonder he could get close to him and break through his Energy Absorption defense. If it was Bullseye, it wasn't strange at all.
Lv.2 Energy Absorption could already ignore attacks from ordinary people, but this man's strength had reached the peak of human limits. It wasn't strange that he could break through Lv.2 Energy Absorption.
However, who gave him this confidence?
Did he think that piercing his chest meant he had won?
Bullseye looked at the white-haired man before him. He was strong, unexpectedly strong!
Just now, he had been aiming for the white-haired man's head, but even though the man was clearly severely exhausted, he had still avoided the fatal blow.
And to be safe, the dagger he threw with all his strength was made of Adamantium. He originally thought it would easily pass through his chest, but he hadn't expected it to almost get stuck inside his body!
He clearly possessed other abilities besides his spatial one. Super-physique, or some other means?
If the man before him were still in his peak state, he wouldn't even dare to approach. But now, it was completely different!
"It seems that releasing that terrifying attack just now cost you severely. Even your reaction speed has been greatly weakened.
If you were at your peak, I would definitely be no match for you, but now... Hahaha, to personally kill a strong expert, it's truly delightful!"
Bullseye trembled with excitement. As a top assassin, what could be more delightful than killing a high-and-mighty expert?
But to his surprise, the man before him wasn't panicking at all, as if the threat from him simply didn't exist.
It was as if... even a sick and weak tiger could still slaughter a provoking cat!
And the gap between them was even greater than that between a tiger and a cat!
He immediately had an ominous premonition. He instantly threw the Adamantium daggers in his hands, but the vast majority were dodged by the man.
However, one dagger still hit the man, which made him relax slightly.
He no longer had that invincible posture from before!
Su Mu used his remaining energy to strengthen his body and dodge the attacks. Through his Six Eyes, he immediately sensed the special material of the daggers and understood that it was these impossibly hard daggers that allowed Bullseye to easily break his defense.
However, he still wasn't flustered. How dare a mere mortal provoke a god? Not everyone was Iron Man!
He asked unhurriedly, "Kingpin sent you to assassinate me, right?"
Bullseye didn't answer, instead throwing his daggers even faster, even pulling out a pistol and shooting at him. But all of it was captured by the Six Eyes and then easily dodged.
Even though Bullseye didn't answer, Su Mu continued to observe the details of his body with his Six Eyes and confirmed his guess. He then continued:
"If you tell me Kingpin's location, I'll spare your life. How about it?"
But Bullseye still didn't answer, and his attacks became even more rapid. He sneered, "You can't even protect yourself right now, and you want to spare my life? Go to hell!"
After speaking, he pulled a rocket launcher from somewhere and fired it at Su Mu.
When the rocket exploded in front of Su Mu, and a huge fireball engulfed him, Bullseye finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He should be dead. He hadn't expected that even when the white-haired man was severely exhausted, he would still be so difficult to deal with.
He then revealed an excited smile. Killing a strong expert brought him extreme pleasure!
"You seem very happy? You think it's over just like that?"
Suddenly, a voice from within the fireball made the smile on his face freeze. He suddenly heard the sound of a wall shattering, and then that demonic voice rang out again.
"I'll give you one last chance. Tell me Kingpin's location, and I'll give you a quick death!"
He looked in Su Mu's direction in disbelief. The smoke dissipated, and the man appeared in front of him, completely unharmed.
A large amount of shrapnel was floating in front of him, just like the bullets before, unable to get even an inch close to him.
And one of his hands was plunged into the sewer wall. The surrounding dim lights grew even dimmer, and at the same time, the injuries on the white-haired man's body were rapidly healing!
Bullseye immediately realized he was absorbing electrical energy!
"You... You have other mutant abilities!"
Realizing this, he immediately fled into the distance with all his might.
"Damn it, damn it! He actually has other mutant abilities, and it's energy absorption that can quickly restore his energy! At this rate, who can be his opponent!
Damn Kingpin, I'm not taking this job! Whoever wants to die can come!"
However, a terrifying attractive force came from behind him. Even though his physical fitness far surpassed that of an ordinary person, he still had no power to resist.
Under Bullseye's despairing gaze, he floated in front of Su Mu. Then, his limbs were cruelly twisted and broken by the terrifying gravity, leaving him with no power to resist!
...
The moment the rocket flew at him, Su Mu immediately used the energy absorbed from the daggers' kinetic energy and the sunlight to deploy the Limitless Cursed Technique. He then strengthened his body, thrust his arm through the wall, grabbed the electrical cables inside, and absorbed the power.
A large amount of electrical energy was absorbed. The Reverse Cursed Technique and the Limitless Cursed Technique were reactivated, and he returned to his peak state!
The Adamantium daggers in his body were pushed out by his regrowing flesh and fell to the ground. His injuries healed in an instant.
Seeing Bullseye flee, Su Mu revealed a brilliant smile, then curled his fingers slightly and joked:
"Banshō Ten'in!"
After pulling Bullseye over and twisting his limbs like a pretzel, Su Mu asked again:
"How about it? Considered my offer? Tell me obediently, and I'll make your death quick!"
Bullseye looked at the white demon before him. Beneath the white eyelashes, those exquisite azure eyes were looking at him with mockery.
For some reason, he saw a strange, blackish-red glint within those beautiful eyes!
...
After completely shredding Bullseye's twisted body, leaving only some Adamantium bones, Su Mu finally confirmed that he did not know Kingpin's location.
Kingpin was an extremely cautious person. His residence changed every day. Not even his most trusted confidants knew his exact schedule for the next day.
Su Mu put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly forward. The blood and shrapnel floating behind him fell rapidly to the ground.
Although it was a pity he couldn't get Kingpin's specific location, it didn't matter.
As his Six Eyes continued to level up, his observable area and X-ray vision abilities would continuously strengthen.
Once his observation range covered all of New York, a mere Kingpin could be crushed at will!
The electrical cables within the sewer walls were continuously pulled out by his control over gravity, floating around Su Mu for him to absorb their energy.

[Energy Absorption Lv.2 (233/300): Can absorb most energy. Absorption speed and storage capacity are average.]
Energy Absorption was about to reach Lv.3, his first skill to do so!
What kind of changes would a skill undergo after Lv.3?
Would it undergo an unknown transformation?
