Samuel activated Mind Isolation and grabbed Anna's hand. Anna was a little nervous because of his somewhat 'lewd' reaction earlier, and now her hand was suddenly grabbed, making her instinctively want to break free and retreat.
But her good feelings for Samuel and the trust that had developed during their time together made her stop.
"What are You doing?!"
Samuel looked at her and asked: "Do You feel anything?"
This, this question, it was just holding hands, should I feel anything?
Anna shook her head with a strange expression.
Samuel closed the mental isolation, not using any ability.
In an instant, his vitality rapidly drained away, and his face visibly turned ashen.
"Ah..." Anna cried out in surprise, quickly shaking off Samuel's hand.
Immediately after, Samuel's complexion quickly returned to normal.
"Good heavens, your speed and intensity of absorbing vitality are much stronger than Jia Ying's!" Samuel couldn't help but exclaim.
It was only a few seconds, and at least a third of his vitality was absorbed, which means if he didn't have Self-healing ability, his vitality wouldn't even last long enough to send a 60-second voice message!
You should know that his vitality is different from ordinary humans; he has stacked the super vitality of countless Asgardians like Thunder God Thor and Loki, as well as the vitality of Wonder Woman and the Amazonians.
Under normal circumstances, living for tens of thousands of years is absolutely no problem for him!
But tens of thousands of years of vitality only lasted a few seconds in Anna's hand, which shows how overbearing Anna's ability is!
Of course, vitality is actually meaningless to Samuel now. With the Self-healing ability, vitality is almost infinite, so Samuel has already recovered.
But Anna is different!
Samuel looked at the panicked Anna and found that her nose, eyes, and ears were uncontrollably bleeding profusely.
Is this... vitality overflowing?
Right, she absorbed tens of thousands of years of vitality at once. "Too weak to be nourished" doesn't even describe her current state!
She is a Mutant, and the vitality absorbed through her ability can also enhance herself, so she is only bleeding from the seven orifices. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably just die immediately.
"What happened? I, I'm bleeding, I feel very unwell, I... am I going to die?" Anna frantically wiped the blood from her face with her hands, but the more she wiped, the faster the blood flowed.
In the blink of an eye, she had become a person covered in blood.
Her face, hands, and clothes were all covered in blood!
"Don't be afraid, You won't die," Samuel comforted her, smiling as he grabbed Anna's hand again.
As early as the first touch, when he discovered Anna had awakened, the system had already determined they had entered a combat state.
Absorbing vitality!
If this doesn't count as combat, what does?
Although Anna's ability can absorb many things, including vitality, memory, abilities, and even personality, this is just an application of her ability.
She only has one ability: touching others to gain their superpowers and vitality.
Now, Samuel has also obtained this ability, and he is even stronger than Anna!
After all, the characteristic of this ability lies in absorption.
And Samuel has Jia Ying's ability to absorb vitality and the ability to absorb energy by stacking countless abilities.
So in terms of absorption, the gap between Samuel and Anna is countless Jia Yings!
Samuel was preparing to absorb the vitality that Anna had absorbed back, but if he touched her without turning off the mental isolation, Anna would also uncontrollably absorb him.
In other words, they were mutually absorbing each other now.
What did everyone think of?
Uh, those who thought wrongly, go face the wall. Anyway, Samuel immediately thought of the math problem about a swimming pool with water entering and draining at the same time.
Samuel was the one draining water, and the draining speed was much faster than the entering speed, so it didn't take long for the vitality that had been absorbed before to be absorbed back. Anna also stopped bleeding, and her state gradually returned to normal.
Feeling it was about right, Samuel released her hand.
"I... You... What exactly happened just now?" The dazed Anna was somewhat at a loss. All she felt now was fear!
Samuel said, "I can tell You what happened, and I can clearly tell You that You are fine now."
"So, go take a shower, change your clothes, and when You calm down, I'll slowly tell You the truth that is not yet known to everyone in this World!"
Anna breathed a slight sigh of relief, nodded obediently, and turned to go upstairs.
Speaking of which, Anna's awakening had no warning signs, unlike Cyclops, whose eyes were blurry and painful before awakening, and then he could release laser beams as long as his eyes were open.
This was just Samuel happening to be there. If she had had physical contact with her short-lived boyfriend from the movie, or with her parents, it would have been troublesome.
Without any psychological preparation, she would probably have been directly absorbed to death.
More than ten minutes later, Anna came downstairs wearing Samuel's White shirt.
"I, my clothes can't be worn anymore, I'll borrow your clothes for a while," Anna said, lowering her head and sitting down beside Samuel.
"Very beautiful!"
Samuel looked at her a few more times. A girl her age can be said to look good in anything, let alone a male shirt, which is a great weapon!
"What exactly happened just now? Why did your face turn like that when You grabbed my hand later? I also started bleeding... and then when You grabbed me again, I was fine?"
"No, I wasn't fine. I could feel something flowing out of me."
Calmed down, Anna wanted to understand what had happened to her.
"Have You heard of Mutants?"
"Mutants?"
Anna shook her head blankly, waiting for Samuel to continue.
Samuel didn't give a lengthy explanation of the origin of Mutants, but simply gave a brief Popular Science, letting her know that some humans have the Mutant gene in their bodies. In their teenage years, the Mutant gene will awaken, thereby changing the original DNA and giving them different abilities.
"Your ability is to touch others to gain their superpowers and vitality. This ability is very powerful, and its potential can exceed ninety-nine percent of Mutants, but—"
"But what?"
"Potential is just potential. Before it's realized, You can't control your ability at all. So when we touched, You absorbed my vitality, and my vitality is at least tens of thousands of years. You absorbed a part of it, which was enough to make You unable to bear it and start bleeding."
As she listened, Anna seemed to think of something, and said with a trembling voice, "You mean, I... I will absorb the other person's vitality as long as I touch them?"
"Yes!"
"Then won't I, won't I never be able to touch people again?" Anna was struck by lightning, and her whole person collapsed.
Telling a young girl her age that she can no longer have contact with anyone in the future is extremely cruel. Anyone would collapse if they were in her shoes!
