Anna asked curiously at this moment, "Mr. Miracle, can you also create a similar antidote?"
"I heard you can solve Jean's Mutant ability problem?"
During a certain conversation between Ororo and Scott, they had discussed Jean's problem.
After Anna learned that Aaron might be able to solve the Mutant ability problem, she started paying attention to him. This was also why she actively approached him to ask in front of so many people.
She desperately longed to live like a normal person, instead of wearing gloves all day, clad in thick leather clothes, covering her body completely, and even having to wear a scarf.
She had to maintain a distance of at least half a meter from her other classmates.
She couldn't wear a bikini, even the best figure was useless.
She couldn't date, especially in this youthful, bright, and vibrant time of life when hormones were stirring.
Yet, she couldn't do anything.
She didn't want a lifetime of platonic relationships, communicating only spiritually without being able to touch physically.
Aaron looked at her, feigning confusion. "Are you really hoping to lose your Mutant abilities?"
Anna nodded repeatedly, raising the gloves she wore even in the hot weather. "I can't touch anyone, because I absorb other people's life force."
Aaron waved, signaling for her to approach.
Although he already knew Anna's ability, he intended to test whether his current self could be immune to Anna's absorption.
Anna walked crisply up to Aaron, her face full of doubt.
Aaron reached out and touched Anna's smooth cheek.
Panic flashed in Anna's eyes as she said, "Don't do that, I'll hurt you."
Everyone else also looked tense.
Logan was about to step forward, but Charles raised his hand. "Wait a moment."
Even Charles himself didn't dare to touch Anna. Although her ability was uncontrollable, it was unexpectedly strong.
"But Professor..."
Ororo's face was filled with worry.
"Mr. Aaron is someone who excels at creating miracles. Do not look at him through the eyes of an ordinary person."
Charles had deliberately gathered information on Aaron.
He discovered from certain people's memories that Aaron was even more mysterious than they had imagined.
It is true that Anna's absorption ability is powerful, but he highly doubted whether Anna could truly threaten Aaron.
Charles held his breath, and everyone watched without blinking.
The moment Aaron's hand touched Anna's cheek, Aaron felt a certain power absorbing his energy and life force.
"Hmm?"
Aaron raised an eyebrow. He had not used the Primordial Furnace, and had intentionally only kept [Iron Body] active.
He then tried the effects of different abilities one by one.
"M-Mr. Aaron?"
"Don't speak, just focus on feeling."
Aaron interrupted her worries, acting as if nothing was wrong. "Concentrate on controlling your Mutant ability, don't worry about me."
Hearing this, Anna nodded, feeling both happy and afraid.
With this level of touch, anyone else would have been completely drained long ago.
Yet Aaron was so strong and fierce that even though her body continued to absorb wildly, it didn't affect him in the slightest.
No matter how much she absorbed, this man remained like a wild bull, strong and fiery.
Feeling the warmth transmitted from her cheek, Anna subconsciously grabbed Aaron's right hand, wanting to fully experience the sensation of touching another person.
Not long after, Anna's cheeks were flushed red, and she felt completely filled up.
Such a massive amount...
She had never had such a fulfilling experience. Her body became incredibly powerful, and her energy was immensely abundant.
Her body instantly ascended from that of an ordinary human to a God that surpassed Hulk.
As time passed little by little, Anna felt bloated.
"N-no... I can't do it anymore, I think I'm overwhelmed."
"Is this the limit?"
Aaron secretly shook his head.
With a thought, [Super-Dimensional Body] overlaid [Iron Body].
At the same time, a stream of light surged along his arm and flowed throughout his body.
[Devour: Detected similar abilities (Energy Absorption, Life Force Absorption). Fusion completed. You can actively or passively absorb energy (nearly all forms), abilities, life force, memory, various acquired abilities (including non-regulatory muscle reflexes), and even emotions from others or the external environment.]
Through the feedback from the Primordial Furnace, Aaron was particularly surprised by this harvest.
Wasn't this just a weakened version of the Primordial Furnace?
Of course, this ability is greatly limited because it cannot eliminate the repulsive effects between different types of energy.
If the absorption is too messy, it will cause a hundred harms and no benefits to oneself. Furthermore, abilities absorbed from others will also copy their weaknesses.
The Primordial Furnace is different.
Take, for example, the difference between him and Anna.
Anna cannot perfectly control her own ability, and the absorbed abilities are temporary, disappearing after a period of time.
And in the comics, she uncontrollably absorbs the memories of others and the emotions attached to those memories. If she isn't careful, she might turn into another person due to excessive absorption. Or develop multiple personalities, to the point where she can't even tell who she is.
Aaron, however, solved these detrimental flaws, making this ability stronger and more perfect.
A perfected [Devour] is probably an Omega-level ability.
Even in the comics, it would definitely be a top-tier ability.
At this moment, Anna suddenly found that she could no longer absorb any life force or energy. This sense of sudden loss made her heart skip a beat.
Anna, thinking Aaron had been drained, quickly looked up.
Her eyes met Aaron's bright gaze.
A living Aaron.
Perhaps the similarity in their energy characteristics created a special chemical reaction, making Anna feel an intense desire to be close to him.
In that instant, Anna felt like she was in love.
The warmth brought by skin-to-skin contact, which she had never experienced before, was too overwhelming for her. Tears poured out of her eyes uncontrollably.
She then plunged into Aaron's embrace, greedily breathing in his scent.
Ignoring her overly-filled body, she quickly took off her gloves, then threw off her thick outer jacket, revealing her tightly stretched leather clothing, and hugged Aaron tightly.
Her hands constantly roamed Aaron's back, occasionally touching the back of his hand and his palm.
This famished appearance made the lips of everyone present twitch.
Charles coughed repeatedly.
However, Anna showed no reaction.
"Rogue!" Logan shouted sternly.
Since he met Anna in Canada and brought her to the school, Anna had always listened to him and regarded him as a good friend. But now, Anna was ignoring him.
Logan's lips twitched, and the more he looked at Aaron, the more displeased he became.
There was no helping it. Aaron had a beauty like Gwen following him, had poached Jean, the most beautiful woman from their school, and now he was running off with Anna.
You're a walking succubus, damn it!
Scott subconsciously looked at Jean, desperately wanting to see Jean's reaction. However, Jean showed no reaction, as if she hadn't seen anything at all.
Seriously? You don't even mind this?
Looking at Jean, who was growing more beautiful and exuding an indescribable exotic charm, Scott felt his heart take a critical hit.
He felt that in terms of both looks and personal charisma, Aaron was only slightly better than him—definitely just slightly.
It was just that Aaron was richer.
Why was Jean willing to share Aaron with other women, yet unwilling to spare him a glance?
Where exactly did he lose?
"Anna, let go first, mind the audience." Aaron patted Anna's back.
Anna belatedly realized the situation and quickly let go of Aaron.
Instead of looking at Logan and Charles, she subconsciously looked at Gwen and Jean. The former felt a bit jealous, but didn't show it on her face. The latter, however, smiled kindly and warmly at her.
Jealousy?
Non-existent.
Aaron's 'capital' was astonishingly vast. Only women who had truly 'fought' with him knew the terror.
