"Interesting, but nothing special."

George kicked the lifeless absorption subject's body aside, then looked up at the monitor in the upper right corner and smiled.

"Dr. Zola, if you have any trump cards left, you'd better use them now, or you won't get another chance."

"How could this happen? What kind of ability is this? Why did the absorption subject die without even blocking a single attack?"

Zola's consciousness trembled as he watched George's smile on the monitor.

"Damn it!"

Trump cards? What trump cards did he have left?

"The humiliation from this time, I'll repay it a hundredfold next time."

Zola no longer hesitated. He turned and activated his flight device, jumping out of the window to fly toward the small island's exterior.

Although he had a consciousness storage device, which allowed him to upload his consciousness to a pre-prepared storage unit once his body was damaged, and then transfer the consciousness into a backup robotic body, enabling infinite resurrections, this wasn't without cost.

First, creating the consciousness storage device was a complicated process that required him to spend a significant amount of time and effort on preparation.

Once he used this method, he would have to focus on creating the next consciousness storage device for a long period afterward to ensure that he could resurrect if killed.

Secondly, each time his consciousness was transferred, it would weaken him for an extended period before he could recover.

Thus, he was reluctant to let his robotic body suffer damage unless absolutely necessary.

In fact, his robotic body was not weak at all. It had various weapon systems, and recently, it had been powered by the energy of the Cosmic Cube, equipping it with powerful energy-based weaponry.

It was far stronger than the mass-produced Hydra soldiers.

According to his calculations, he had over an 80% chance of defeating Iron Man in a one-on-one fight.

However, Iron Man could control metal, which countered his abilities, leaving him helpless in battle.

Just as he was flying above the base, preparing to accelerate and escape, he suddenly realized that his body had stopped moving.

"Dr. Zola, where are you going?"

At the same time, George's voice came from behind him.

It turned out that George had noticed the change in the tracking spell's direction, which shifted toward the area outside the base. Realizing Zola was trying to escape, his sharp eyesight caught sight of Zola above the base. He immediately used his teleportation ability to move behind Zola and controlled him.

The ability to control metal was a natural counter to those relying on regular technology.

"Long live Hydra!"

Realizing he couldn't move, and seeing George standing before him, Zola understood that he had no choice but to abandon this body.

However, before abandoning it, he would make one final counterattack.

Since his consciousness could be transferred, he had long since set up a self-destruct mechanism within the robotic body.

If faced with an unbeatable enemy, he could use the self-destruction of the robotic body as a last-ditch effort to kill his opponent, exploiting their final moment of carelessness.

However, George reacted quickly.

As soon as he heard Zola shout "Long live Hydra," he realized something was wrong. While still controlling the robotic body, he waved his wand and cast an Ice Freeze spell.

"All frozen."

In an instant, all the internal parts of the robot appeared as though time had stopped, completely immobilized.

Only the display on the robot's chest, showing Zola's consciousness, continued to move.

"How is this possible? Even the self-destruct device doesn't work!"

Zola's consciousness was in a panic now.

He realized that he had completely lost control over the robotic body. Not only could he not activate the self-destruct mechanism, but he also couldn't upload his consciousness to the storage device by leaving the body.

Normally, if the body were destroyed, his consciousness would automatically upload to the storage device, or he could manually upload it by abandoning the body.

But now, having lost control of the machine, he was like a prisoner, trapped inside the robotic body.

"Luckily, luckily, his psychic ability only works on living beings."

At this moment, Zola could only take solace in the fact that George's psychic ability, inherited from Professor X, was ineffective against computers, according to the records.

Therefore, he couldn't read Zola's mind and understand the current situation.

All Zola had to do was anger George enough to destroy his robotic body, and then his consciousness would escape to the storage device, allowing him to resurrect elsewhere.

But once again, he underestimated his opponent.

After freezing Zola, George extended his hand and placed it on the robot's body, using his electromagnetic ability to invade it.

Professor X's psychic ability couldn't read minds of computers, but his electromagnetic ability could hack into them, making him one of the world's top hackers.

Misaka Mikoto's electromagnetic powers allowed her to control electronics, interpreting all program simulations and breaking through all firewalls.

She could hack into computers without needing cables, directly manipulating electronic devices through electrical signals or even destroying them via communication lines.

With just a touch on a computer or PDA, she could operate it, transferring her thoughts to the machine, making the computer process whatever she desired.

And George, inheriting Misaka Mikoto's electromagnetic powers, was capable of doing the same.

"I see now."

A moment later, George withdrew his hand from Dr. Zola's robotic body. He now knew everything about the information and data stored in Zola's mind.

"Since there is consciousness, there is a soul. And if there's a soul, then it's easy to deal with."

Looking at Zola's consciousness on the robotic chest display, George raised his hand and cast the Killing Curse:

"Avada Kedavra!"

A green light struck the robot, and Zola's consciousness on the display began to fade away.

"How can this be? Impossible, my consciousness—"

He had assumed that, even if George didn't destroy his body and kept everything the same, he would at most be trapped here and would eventually have a chance to escape.

He never expected that George could directly kill his consciousness, rendering him completely dead, with no possibility of uploading to the storage device for resurrection.

"Thankfully, there's the Killing Curse, a spell specifically for the soul and consciousness. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to handle him!"

In Zola's case, it would normally be very hard to kill him permanently.

No matter how many bodies were destroyed, his consciousness could persist through the network and then transfer into another robotic body to revive.

This was somewhat similar to Ultron.

But once there is consciousness, once there is intellect, it means a soul must exist.

And with the soul, magic that targets the soul can be used.

This is the advantage of being a wizard—versatile and capable of dealing with any enemy, no matter what.
