Chapter 281: Shocking Strength

But in the next second after the hand grabbed the leg, it pulled upwards, before flinging the leg, together with the owner towards where Bob was.

The guy, whether he was lucky or it was done deliberately to scare him, Gregory’s body smashed onto the couch, just a few centimeters away from where Bob was seated.

Due to the forest by which Gregory had been thrown away with, the moment that he collided with the couch, it actually broke, despite the quality of the wood used to make the couch.

This led to a situation where, Bob together with Gregory, but falling backwards with the broken couch.

This sudden turn of events made Bob’s mind go blank.

At one moment, he was still thinking of a way that he was going to use to persuade Gregory not to kill Michael. But in the next moment, Gregory, who was already about to land an attack, was suddenly thrown away like a ragdoll!

He was not the only one who was shocked, as Gregory felt it even more. Since he was doing who was attacking, in his anger, he had used his full strength.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to land the hit, from his peripheral view, I figure suddenly dashed towards him at an incredible speed, before grabbing the leg before it connected.

And after that, as he was suddenly pulled up, it was as though Gregory was completely weightless.

With his leg being suddenly pulled, the other one immediately lost balance, making Gregory fall. But even before he could fall down, he was suddenly thrown away.

Now, as he struggled to endure the pain that came from several bones in his body fracturing or even breaking, he raised his head, to look towards Michael.

Bob also looked over. With him only falling, he was not hurt at all, just a little pain from hitting his head on the floor, but nothing more.

Now, as the two of them looked over, they realized that, standing behind Michael was another figure. It seemed to be a man, but they could not see his appearance.

This person was wearing a black mask that covered his interface, only living the space for the eyes. But, as they gazed into those eyes, they felt that they seemed to carry a chilling sensation that made them immediately look away.

Michael on the other hand gazed at the two who were currently sprawled on the ground, before he gazed at the clone behind him.

Previously, when he understood that there was going to be a fight inevitably, he had decided to access the system store, before he made a purchase of a mask.

Of course, every item within the system store, in the real world, it would be priced at $1,000. So, this mask was not simple, providing the function of covering the face alone. Instead, it had other functions, which were not important for now.

So, after making the purchase, Michael had the system make the mask appear in the room where the clones were. The clones had gotten a room of their own, where they got busy.

With just a thought, Michael had one of the clones put on the mask, before rushing down here.

Initially, when he acted, he had realized that Gregory seemed to be ordinary. Most probably, he had not activated his ability.

But Michael understood that the next time that Gregory attacked after suffering a loss, he would definitely activate the ability.

At that time, if Michael exposed his current strength, it would be quite easy for Bob and Gregory to misunderstand, thinking that Michael was a mutant.

Regardless, even Michael himself was shocked. Until now, he was not really sure how strong he was, especially with the number of skills that he had.

While the general strength of his body had never increased after it had gotten a boost from the evolution serum, quite some changes had occurred to him.

That was especially for the skills that required him to use his physical body. Some of the skills increased his dexterity, others increased his agility, others his body flexibility and so on.

Simply put, with over 150 skills, Michael was able to easily exert the strength that he had in his body. This allowed him to be able to easily control the amount of strength that he would use at a certain time.

The clone, despite being made of energy, it possessed the same physique as Michael’s. And apart from that, it could also use the same skills that Michael had, to the same level.

So, in the situation where the clone suddenly took action, the strength that it possessed was not that much different from Michael’s.

And as Michael so how easily it was able to deal with Gregory, he finally understood just how strong he was. Without being able to test out how strong he was, it was impossible to understand this.

Yes, he could tell that he was extremely strong. But as for how strong he was, that was something that was not that easy to be able to judge.

Michael was not really sure about the grade of the skill that Gregory had. But most probably, it was about grade B or something closer.

Despite all the data that he had on the mutation serum and other experiments, they did not allow him to be able to tell the exact strength of each ability.

After all, at the moment, those scientists were not able to control what kind of ability a person would be able to get from taking the serum. So of course, they did not have much time to be able to test out how strong a certain ability was as compared to the other.

Regardless, this was just an estimation that Michael made, based on the data that he had acquired. As for how strong a mutant possessing grade A or grade B was, he was not really sure.

At the end of the day, even if two people had the same grade of abilities, with the distinction of the abilities, they would definitely defer with each other in terms of strength.

Back to the present, through the earpiece, Michael informed Onyx to do an investigation on Gregory.

And at this point, Onyx was able to easily get Gregory’s image, before it dived into action.

Michael had already informed Onyx about the earpiece, and so, Onyx would not need to use the sound system of the watch currently on Michael’s wrist, in order to communicate.

Just a few seconds later, the information on Gregory was found, and Onyx began informing Michael about it.

From the information, it seemed that this guy called Gregory was previously just an ordinary gangster. But, he was quite loyal to the silent order syndicate.

Unfortunately, he was suffering from late stage lung cancer, and his days were numbered. So, when there was an opportunity for him to take the serum, he decided to take the risk.

Want her to know, the serums that were currently being produced had great fatality rates. From grade A all the way to grade E, the fatality rates averaged from 78%, 72%, 63%, 52%, and 42% respectively.

Such high fatality rates had led to quite a high number of people dying. From the government database that was accessed by Onyx, the current total confirmed fertilities was already at 2,701 individuals!

The reason why the number was this law was simply because of the low number of mutation serum doses produced so far. Otherwise, the number would have been higher than this.

As for the surviving mutants, it was currently at 1,517 individuals. But apart from these individuals, who had managed to become mutants, there were those that survived, but they did not become mutants.

For some reason, some of those people that had taken the mutation serum did not gain any abilities. Instead, they had their bodies deform or grow extra body parts, or even the current body parts being enhanced or reduced in size.

Despite understanding all the risks involved in this, Gregory understood that even if he did not take the risk, he would eventually die from the cancer.

In the end, he took the gamble, and it paid off. He managed to awaken an ability called power surge, which was the name given to this ability by the scientists, ever since the first person awakened it.

Yeah, Gregory was not the only person who had awakened this ability. There were a few others with this type of ability, but they had their own differences, but there was a characteristic that they shared.

Anyway, from the information provided by Onyx, Michael came to know that this guy had a grade B ability. This power surge ability could enhance the power of his muscles by 1.5 times, which was incredible.

It was just that, this ability could not be sustained for a long time, or the person would end up suffering injuries. After all, if the strength of the muscles was too high as compared to the bones and other parts of the body, eventually, the body might be overwhelmed.

But even then, it would not be much of a problem for Gregory to be able to sustain this ability for about 30 minutes. But even then, after each activation of this skill, Gregory would need to rest for quite a while, about a day, before he could use this ability again.

Onyx was transmitting the information through the earpiece, which led to the information being transmitted over at a high speed. And with Michael’s current brain processing power, it was not much of a problem for him to be able to process the information in a short time.

And all this while, Gregory continuously groaned on the ground, not daring to get up. As for Bob, he was scared, to the extent that he dared not move a muscle.

As Michael looked over, the two of them felt their bodies trembling, as they suddenly understood, they had messed up. That was especially for Gregory.

But at this time, Michael suddenly looked towards the door, as his sensitive hearing had picked up the sound of someone approaching it. And, they were doing it so blatantly, as though they were here for a visit.
