Watson stared at the massive wyvern in his summoning space—a 25-meter Horned Titan Wyvern.
"This… is Kakuya? Or the Cornered Prince of Beasts?" Watson muttered, narrowing his eyes at the dragon's sharp, golden crown-like horns.
"Pity it's still a subordinate. If it were a high-ranking prince, it might rival even the ancient dragons." He pondered aloud, "Three turns of a super dragon vehicle? Or maybe an infinite excavator? Just drill through the battlefield, and even Hulk would take a back seat to this beast."
Unlike other dragon species, including ancient ones skilled at harvesting rare materials, this one exuded pure destruction. Still, Watson couldn't help but smile at his own musings: "If I had this guy when I first arrived, these Hydra bases wouldn't even exist anymore—just a pile of rubble."
Then, a dilemma crossed his mind. "Should I use the expansion pack on Kakuya? Or perhaps save it for the Fire Dragon Legion... If Lord Koku is ready, even Hulk might lose his 'Demolition King' title."
Watson shook his head to clear his thoughts. "Focus. System, display personal stats."

Watson flexed his hand, feeling the latent power coursing through his veins. "Thunder affinity… Let's see what this lightning can do."
As he focused, his palm began to crackle with electricity, a faint spark that quickly expanded into a swirling flower of lightning. The static intensified until his entire hand was engulfed in electrical energy, emitting a shrill sound like thousands of birds screaming in unison.
Tony Stark's jaw dropped. "Watson! What's going on with your hand? Are you a mutant? Or some kind of rogue arc reactor experiment?"
Ethan's voice rose in disbelief. "Holy—this guy can discharge! Are we sure he's not some next-gen mutant?"
Watson smirked but frowned at Tony's "mutant" comment. He called upon the system for clarity:
Ding!
Host is not a mutant. Abilities are derived from fused dragon genetics, not the X-gene.
"Well, that's a relief," Watson muttered to himself. "I don't mind mutants, but being lumped in with Charles Xavier and Magneto? That's a bit much."
Watson returned his focus to the crackling energy. If he could shape the lightning in his hand, perhaps he could create a full-body armor—a lightning cloak. The possibilities were endless.
Meanwhile, in New York – Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters:
Professor Charles Xavier paused mid-lesson, his brows furrowing as he sensed an unfamiliar power surge. He quickly recovered, offering his students a warm smile.
"Alright, children, let's take a short break. Ms. Grey will take over shortly."
In his mind, he sent a telepathic message to Jean Grey:
"Jean, bring Storm and Logan to the base. I've sensed an incredibly strong presence—it's growing rapidly. We may have discovered a new mutant."
Minutes later, in the X-Men's war room, Logan lit a cigar.
"So, what's the deal, Chuck? Another kid who can bend spoons?" Professor Xavier shook his head.
"No, this one's different. His power is already at a Beta level—similar to yours, Logan—but it's growing quickly. He could reach Alpha level soon."
Storm frowned. "But is he really a mutant?" "That's what we need to find out," Xavier replied. "He feels… unique
