Chapter 1021: Stable Level Five Mutant!
Chapter 1021: Stable Level Five Mutant!
Although Iceman did not explain in detail what precise changes had occurred in his mutant ability, the move he just displayed was enough for Professor Charles and the others to discover a lot of things.
Firstly, the ice-blue light that appeared on Iceman’s right hand just now was the power of absolute ice sealing, without a doubt.
With the powerful psychic power of Professor Charles, he could feel the sensation of being frozen when his psychic power came into contact with the light.
Moreover, when he unleashed the absolute ice sealing, Iceman did not even enter his strongest state; he just casually activated his mutant ability.
Furthermore, the ability to release absolute ice sealing requires the mutant ability to be upgraded to level five. Iceman’s actions just now indicated that he could already control absolute ice sealing steadily, meaning that he could control level-five mutant ability very steadily!
If this is true, Iceman may be the first level five mutant in the history of the Earth’s mutants who can control his mutant ability steadily.
In fact, the mutant community is quite strange. Mutants with low mutation levels, such as level one and level two mutants, have unstable mutant abilities because their mutation levels are low and they do not have enough power to control their mutant abilities.
On the other hand, mutants with high mutation levels, reaching level five, will have problems controlling such powerful abilities because their mutation levels are too high and exceed the stability limit.
If Iceman can really control his level-five mutant ability steadily this time, then his strength will reach an unpredictable level.
Although Jean Grey has been missing for many years, Professor Charles and Storm still remember the damage she caused, which is not something that ordinary powerful mutants can achieve.
“Iceman, what is the cost of using the absolute ice sealing field now?” After taking a break, Professor Charles asked Iceman with a bright light flashing in his eyes.
Although Charles is a top-level mutant with super-strong psychic powers, his abilities are far beyond what he has shown.
However, if Iceman can really control his level-five mutant ability steadily, X-MEN’s strength will increase more than a little bit. With Professor Charles’s plan, the future of their mutants seems to be truly bright.
Previously, every time Iceman used the absolute ice sealing field, he would cause himself serious injuries. Although the degree of injury will continue to decrease with the constant increase of Iceman’s strength, he cannot truly use this ultimate move at will.
“Don’t worry, as long as I’m within my control range, Absolute Zero won’t do much harm to me anymore,” Iceman replied with a smile to Professor Charles’ inquiry.
“Your control range? Can you stabilize it at level five?” Professor Charles continued to ask after getting Iceman’s answer.
“Right now, I can barely reach level five, which is the level I used to reach only when I pushed myself to the limit. But even so, my power has already more than doubled,” Iceman answered.
Iceman’s control range refers to the range in which he can use his abilities stably. From his response, it can be seen that he can now exert the power that he used to only be able to exert when he pushed himself to the limit under normal circumstances.
Therefore, if he were to push himself to the limit now, no one knows how powerful he could become.
“Hahaha! Reaching level five is already great! Although I don’t know why, this is indeed a good change!” Professor Charles laughed out loud without hiding his joy, feeling relieved.
As the leader of X-MEN and the leader of the Mutants faction, Professor Charles has always carried a heavy burden. Even if he has something on his mind, he will not choose to reveal it.
But now, as the future of the Mutants becomes clearer and X-MEN continues to grow, Professor Charles finally feels that his lifelong goal may really be achievable.
“A level five Mutant who can control their abilities stably. If people outside knew about this, I don’t know how much trouble it would cause,” Storm, who was standing beside Professor Charles, couldn’t help but speak.
Not to mention anything else, if Professor Charles’ old adversary Magneto Erik learned that Iceman from X-MEN had officially “upgraded” to a stable level five Mutant, he might not need to consider the proposal Professor Charles had given him earlier and come over to cooperate directly.
As a top-level mutant, Magneto understood the immense power of a level-5 mutant. After all, they had witnessed firsthand the blackening of Phoenix and the massive destruction it caused. Magneto was a significant participant in that event, but he and Professor Charles both failed to prevent it.
As for the forces on Earth that had always opposed mutants, even after learning of the emergence of another level 5 mutant, they might still choose to pay a great price to eliminate this powerful being.
In their minds, mutants and ordinary humans were destined to be unable to coexist peacefully, and one side must be eliminated. They represented ordinary humans, and so they could not allow powerful mutants to exist.
“Our situation is different now, and even if outsiders find out, it doesn’t matter. Don’t forget, we’re not fighting alone anymore. However, we don’t need to publicize this matter, and for now, it’s enough for us to know internally,” Storm said, and Professor Charles nodded in agreement.
“I understand.”
“Then, Iceman, if you’ve fully recovered, let’s do some testing first,” Professor Charles said, ready to test Iceman. Only by understanding Iceman’s current condition could they use his power more effectively in future missions and events.
“Well, I was just thinking about testing my limits as well. I think we’ll all be surprised,” Iceman replied, nodding in agreement.
“Storm, go call the little troublemaker. We might need her help with this test,” Professor Charles instructed, turning to Storm.
“Okay. And what about Logan?” Storm asked.
“Bring him along too. He might come in handy,” Professor Charles replied after a moment’s thought.
“Okay.”
Then, Storm headed towards the ancient castle’s side hall, while Shadowcat went behind Professor Charles to help push his wheelchair. Soon, the group left the grassy field behind.
