Daniel stumbled over to the side of the white man, wailing, "Boss Gray, it wasn't my fault! My men are all dead, all because of that monster..."
Bang!
A bloody hole appeared on Daniel's forehead as a gunshot rang out.
Chen Chen blew away the lingering gunpowder smoke from the gun barrel and said lightly, "Since you've completed the task of bringing me here, there's no need for you to live anymore!"
The sudden gunshot caused the two blonde women to scream in panic and run away. The man named Gray's face quickly turned grim.
"Who are you? You dare to kill my men and make a scene on my turf!"
Chen Chen didn't bother to answer Gray's questions. At this point in time, New York was a melting pot of good and bad. Even those involved in gangs wouldn't survive without some kind of extraordinary power backing them up.
Clearly, the guy named Gray was a member of the extraordinary forces that supported and controlled the gangs. He probably had countless dark and bloody deeds under his belt.
Since the system's mission was to defeat the Mutant, he might as well just get to it.
The answer to Gray was another gunshot.
Bang!
A bullet accurately struck Gray in the forehead.
"Interesting." A hint of surprise flashed across Chen Chen's face.
The firearm's attack landed on Gray's body, but it didn't cause any real damage. Instead, the bullet was deflected by the repulsive force on his body's surface.
"Such strong defense. This is indeed the Marvel World. Just meeting someone randomly grants them the power to ignore ordinary firearms." A trace of eagerness flashed in Chen Chen's eyes.
Gray, with a grim expression, touched his slightly indented forehead, then let out an angry roar: "You're asking to die!"
Roaring, Gray's body rapidly inflated as if being pumped up. In the blink of an eye, he transformed from a man of normal build into a humanoid monster, two meters tall, with a body covered in fleshy bulges.
"Bastard! You've successfully angered me!" Gray strode forward, his palm, the size of a fan, bringing with it a shocking burst of air, and slammed it towards Chen Chen.
This Gray not only had amazing defense, but his strength was also terrifying.
"Excellent!"
Chen Chen shouted lightly and fearlessly raised his right hand, throwing a punch to meet the attack.
In a flash of lightning, fist and palm collided.
Bang!
The sound of a collision unlike that of flesh and blood rang out. Gray, who had been charging forward, was knocked back by Chen Chen's punch. The marble floor tiles beneath his feet shattered one after another. Facing Chen Chen's full-power attack, he had to retreat to alleviate the impact on his body.
After retreating four or five steps in a row, Gray finally managed to dispel the residual force of the collision.
On the other side, Chen Chen also retreated violently, crushing the hard marble floor tiles beneath his feet.
In comparison, Chen Chen retreated a greater distance than Gray, by several steps.
This also meant that in a head-on power confrontation, he was slightly inferior.
You must know that Chen Chen's strength at this moment could be calculated in tons. Even so, he was still at a disadvantage in the collision with Gray.
It was evident how great Gray's strength was.
But Chen Chen showed no fear, instead, his face was filled with excitement, "Again!"
With that, he charged forward once more.
Gray charged forward again, and the two clashed once more.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After many exchanges, Chen Chen felt considerable pressure from Gray. Gray's inflated body not only possessed defensive capabilities but also an extremely strange rebound force.
When Chen Chen punched him, more than half of the force was bounced back.
While fighting, Chen Chen pondered who this powerful Mutant was.
This Mutant named Gray, whether in terms of strength, speed, or defense, was at the top level among Mutants. A Mutant of this strength could hold a place in the X-Men, yet he was mixed up with the New York gangs, which was also extremely rare.
Although there were many Mutants in this world, their numbers were far greater than warriors like the Hulk and Captain America, who were created through enhancement drugs.
But most Mutants' abilities were useless, such as being able to make their hair stand up, or constantly farting, and so on. The percentage of Mutants capable of fighting was relatively low among all Mutants.
Not to mention, those powerful Mutants were being courted by various forces, joining the X-Men teams, Magneto's Brotherhood, and the Hellfire Club.
If every random gang had Mutants with that kind of power, how could street-level superheroes like Daredevil and Punisher survive in the Marvel World?
He was momentarily distracted.
Bang!
Gray punched Chen Chen in the jaw, sending him flying and crashing into a pile of debris against the wall, ultimately embedding him in the wall itself.
Energy: 28.
Chen Chen stood up, rubbing his slightly deformed neck, which instantly returned to normal. He was somewhat troubled.
"The energy is coming in too slowly; this system is simply insane. The energy needed to advance to the next level of Demon is increasing tenfold. It will take a full 10,000 Energy Points to advance to the fourth stage of Demon!"
Chen Chen was distressed, while Gray on the other side felt even worse. He looked at Chen Chen, who had stood back up, almost completely unharmed, and his eyes flashed with disbelief. "How is this possible? What kind of monster are you?"
He knew that in his current state, he could even deform a steel plate.
Chen Chen pouted, unable to resist teasing, "Look at me, then look at yourself. With your ugly appearance, anyone would think you're the monster!"
Gray was stunned, looked down at his bloated body, and then at Chen Chen's slender figure. The stark contrast stung his sensitive nerves, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
"You dare to call me a monster, you deserve to die!!"
A furious voice suddenly rang out, and Gray's body actually swelled up again. Strange red colors suddenly appeared on the surface of his bloated body, and streaks of blood-colored capillaries emerged.
"Aaaah!" Gray seemed to be experiencing unspeakable pain, and he let out a beast-like roar, stomping heavily on the ground with a rumble. At this moment, he looked like a tank in full action.
"Die! You bastard!"
Subsequently, the tank-like vehicle charged towards Chen Chen with immense force.
"Die!" Gray, resembling a small giant, slammed his arm down, tearing through the air. This attack was capable of piercing steel!
Chen Chen licked his lips and, without showing any weakness, balled his fist and struck back fiercely, "Then let me experience your strength."
Boom!
Fists collided, producing a thunderous explosion. After a brief stalemate, the arm Chen Chen used to attack couldn't withstand the force, and half of his forearm exploded. Rubber-like limb fragments flew everywhere, scattering across the ground, the lawn, and Gray's body.
