Chapter 5: The Increase in Power and Detailed Planning

  Recently, Mudan Xing and the newly repaired Terminator TX, or rather, the beautiful woman who should now be called Athena, have been using all their time to fully enhance their strength. Especially Athena, she is now fully engaged in learning various human combat skills.

  It was already strange enough for a robot to learn human martial arts in the eyes of Lao Xia and Lao Zhou, because Athena, as the latest model of Terminator, had an astonishing combat capability that made it completely unnecessary to learn other human martial arts.

  However, Mudustar became very interested in this, because after Athena was repaired by Old Xia, he found that Athena's movements were extremely agile. In terms of flexibility, there was no stiffness or rigidity like a robot at all. On the contrary, this beauty far exceeded human limits in terms of physical flexibility, and some actions that ordinary people could not complete were not a problem for her at all.

  Out of curiosity, Mudan Xing handed over all the fighting skills he had learned to Athena, wanting to see what changes would occur after the Terminator learned and used human combat skills. As a result, a situation that even Mudan Xing did not anticipate really appeared.

  The divine fist technique that can bring out the ultimate power of the human body was used by this incredibly powerful Athena, and its destructive power far surpassed that of Mudan Star's divine fist technique. A boulder the size of a normal person was instantly pulverized by her divine fist technique.

  As for the Six Styles, this technique that ordinary people can't use at all is simply tailor-made for Athena. The Iron Block and Paper Drawing, Gunpoint techniques are unnecessary for her to practice as she has a super-dense alloy skeleton and possesses ultra-fine local transformation abilities. And when she uses the Raksha kick, it becomes an incredibly powerful vacuum slash that can even cut through hard rock, leaving Stardust speechless at its destructive power. As for Moon Step and Slash, she also mastered them quickly in a short amount of time.

  As for Athena's terrifying fighting skills, it wasn't what left Muxin Star most astonished. What left him speechless was what happened next.

  After absorbing so many fighting skills, Athena, who is well-versed in human anatomy, has actually developed a highly efficient and specialized killing technique with Alice's help.

  The name of the martial art created by Athena is called "Fatal Strike". Every move in this fighting technique is a fatal attack due to its creator's special identity. All striking points are vital parts of the human body, such as the eyes, neck, heart, groin, back of the head, and spine.

  Mudustar was also impressed by the efficiency and practicality of this fighting technique in killing people after watching this set created by Athena, which has the power to kill with one blow.

  However, this combat technique is too lethal and cannot be used in regular training. Even Musha didn't have a hand-to-hand combat trial with Athena, as this technique is a sure-kill attack that can kill people once mastered. However, for the military, this pure killing technique would be more popular.

  As Athena is a robot, she has extremely precise control over her strength and coordination, making the destructive power of her critical hit attacks truly astonishing. Even if Stardust were to engage in close combat with her now, he wouldn't have the confidence to win against her.

  Now Athena's combat power has increased several times compared to the movie, and at least in close combat, she won't lose to any other model of Terminator. The main weapon that was destroyed in the movie, the ion gun with electromagnetic effects on the right upper arm, which can cause any electronic device to be paralyzed or even permanently damaged, has also been repaired with the help of Old Xia.

  Unlike Athena, who focuses on enhancing her close-range combat skills, Mucunxian is improving his long-range attack capabilities, mainly by enhancing his mental strength. He can now launch a mental force attack without needing to concentrate his mind like before, and only needs to focus his spirit to easily release the mental shockwave. Although this new attack method is relatively simple, it excels at catching opponents off guard, making it impossible to defend against.

  However, after using it multiple times, a person's spirit will become extremely exhausted.

  During this period of rest, the strength of Mudan Xing and Athena began to rise rapidly, which was also a preparation for future adventure actions in the movie world.

  ··············································································

  Ten days later.

  In the villa's living room, Xue Chen, Lao Xia, and Lao Zhou, along with Athena, were studying a new movie plot that they could enter. This time, to prevent what happened last time from happening again, where they missed the opportunity to obtain various items due to remembering the wrong time, they didn't rush into action immediately. Instead, they started collecting information about this movie online.

  "After reviewing some materials collected online, Muxu Xing first spoke: "This time's X-Men plot is the same as last time I entered, but there are many more characters to face and items to capture. The main storyline of this movie is to rescue Magneto and Professor X while preventing General Stryker's conspiracy to eliminate all mutants."

  When Mu Chen Xing finished speaking, Old Zhou continued to add: "That's right, most of the mutants in this movie are the signature characters from the X-Men series! Like Magneto from the Brotherhood, and the X-Men team, I believe everyone knows that the main target of this heist is the ability genes on their bodies. Those are extremely precious resources. We must try our best to obtain as many different ability genes as possible!"

  "Don't forget, apart from the various mutant genes with special abilities, the government's research materials on mutants, especially those in Strucker's hands, are also valuable assets that should not be missed. And then there's that brain wave amplifier, which is considered to be one of the most dangerous large-scale lethal weapons, as well as the jet aircraft used by the war police - all these are good things that we can seize at the same time."

  As for other things, they are just resources of various building materials. If you have time, Xiaozi can also get some along the way. After all, there is still a lot of empty space in the storage ring, right?" Old Xia said at this time.

  Old Zhou nodded in agreement with Old Xia's words, and continued to say: "This time, because there are too many good things to take, we must plan carefully. Try to avoid missing some high-value items outside of the plot due to insufficient preparation like last time. According to the information we collected online, the main stage of this plot is in several cities in the United States. However, other countries also have variants with abilities that are not weak, but it's just not convenient to take them."

  "Secondly, we need to figure out how to safely obtain the genes of the main variants in the movie. Their abilities are extremely powerful. If we use forceful means, I think the chances of success are not very high, and this method is also likely to cause resentment among other variants!"

  "And in order not to expose our secret, Mo Xiaozhi must be extremely careful of those variant humans with telepathic abilities. Most of them have the ability to read others' thoughts, mainly teachers and Qing Grey. You should focus on preventing these two people, try to avoid any physical contact with them, especially Qing Grey. Because Professor will soon be caught by Strick, the threat is not very big. And Qing Grey's power has begun to show signs of losing control, if it's not necessary, I think we can exclude the action of taking her ability cells, so as not to stimulate her and lead to the premature awakening of Black Phoenix."

  Mudan Xing continued, "I'm aware of these things, and it seems the Academy couldn't arrive in time. The professors were still at the Academy during the initial stages of the movie. However, if time and conditions permit, I'll still make a trip to the Academy. After all, there are many good things left behind. Moreover, regarding X Professor being captured by Strick, did you notice that the neural inhibitor on his head was missing? That thing can interfere with the professor's mental abilities. This means it can serve a similar purpose as the helmet in Wan Jingwang's hand. If I can get my hands on it and give it to Old Xia, I believe with Alice's help, we should be able to decipher its secrets! And if possible, I'll ask Athena to analyze the structure and composition of Wan Jingwang's helmet, to see if we can manufacture similar products!"

  Lao Xia asked at this time: "You want to get the attention of Wang Magneto's helmet, which is a difficult task. And if you want to get the gene on his body, it's not an easy thing to do. Unless you use the kind of tactics used by Striker in the movie, using hallucinogens and the like to knock him down, but you have to make sure there's no metal on your body before you can approach Wang Magneto. As for Athena, don't even think about getting her help!"

  Mudustar smiled and said, "Isn't there another way? That is to join the side of Wang Magneto and gain his trust. Actually, I was planning to do just that. At that time, in this movie, I will go ahead and rescue Wang Magneto from prison, and it will be easy to get his favor."

  And this time, I won't be going to rescue the Magneto alone. With all the relevant information we've found, it's entirely possible to find a group of plot outsiders in that world to help me with my future plans!

  Regarding Muxun Star's proposal, Old Zhou still expressed some concern: "The plot thinks that the variant humans are a good idea! However, I'm afraid you don't have enough time. Those variant humans live in very scattered areas, and you also don't know which ones are variant humans and which ones are human."

  Muxin Xing patted Lao Zhou's shoulder and said, "I've already found some relatively fixed powerful variant humans in those materials. When we go to the movie world, Athena and I will find them first thing, so I won't be as weak as before!"

  Old Zhou smiled and said, "That's okay, as long as you have confidence. Remember to get all the technical materials in the base where Professor X is being held. This time, there are several places that own a large amount of scientific and technological data, and the difficulty of obtaining them is not great. Such an opportunity is too rare!"

  "Don't worry, with Athena's help this time, I won't forget. Athena, did you record all those items we need to obtain that we just mentioned?" Mu Chen Xing said confidently.

  "Reporting to commander, mission objectives have been clearly recorded in the program!" Athena, who had been sitting beside him without speaking, suddenly spoke up.

  "Since that's the case, let's continue to perfect this plot and see what we need to pay attention to! This time, we must seize the greatest benefits from this plot!" Old Xia suddenly spoke up.

  Mudan Xing and Old Zhou both expressed their agreement with Lao Xia's proposal, so the few people on the scene once again threw themselves into a careful analysis of the pile of materials on the table, after all, this opportunity was really too rare.

  ·············································································

  The next afternoon, Muxin Xing, who had already made a complete plan, brought Athena to the computer. Looking at Old Xia and Old Zhou, who were seeing him off on the opposite side, he waved his hand and smiled as he activated the transmission function of the cube.

  Now for their crazy ideals, Mucun Xing and Athena set foot on the journey to the film world once again.
