Not sure if it was an illusion, but as the Space Transfer Ability leveled up to Level 2, he found that the quality of the energy in his body had improved significantly.
Even now, his body was thirstily absorbing sunlight, and it was obvious that the upper limit had increased once again.
As the energy in his body became full, it had actually reached the point where he could cast Black Particle twenty-seven or twenty-eight times in a row!
“Although it’s still very little, it’s enough to support me in a full-power battle for a minute or two!” Kevin couldn’t help but think.
He just didn’t expect that increasing the Ability level could also increase energy?
But it made sense; with an additional Level 2 Ability, it would be strange if the energy in his body didn’t increase.
It had increased when he gained a new Ability before, so now was naturally no exception!
After figuring it out, he felt even more expectant for the upgrade of Black Particle in the evening!
Scanning his surroundings and finding nowhere to practice Black Particle, he forced himself to walk downstairs.
On the way, he looked down at his left hand and saw a white bandage wrapped around it; clearly, the gunshot wound had been treated by Chris.
After thanking Chris in his heart and giving him a “good person card,” he arrived downstairs.
Seeing this, Chris, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, turned his head in confusion and asked, “Kid, what are you doing down here?
It’s not mealtime yet, and isn’t your wound still unhealed?” Kevin thought for a moment.
Considering that Chris was indeed a good person, he told the truth, “It’s nothing.
I’m planning to practice my abilities during this time.
As you know, I’m being pursued, so I must seize every second.” Hearing this, Chris was somewhat enlightened and didn’t notice anything wrong.
Getting up and walking forward, he said, “Come on, I’ll take you to the Underground Room.” Facing Kevin’s surprised expression, he smiled and explained, “Don’t look at me with that surprised gaze.
You should understand that as a Mutant, I also need to exercise.” Soon, he led Kevin to the Underground Room.
Kevin looked around and found that this Underground Room was quite large, equipped with various training facilities and even dummy targets.
After a brief introduction and telling him to make himself at home, Chris went back upstairs nonchalantly.
Seeing him leave, Kevin went to a corner.
After hesitating for a moment, he aimed his right finger at the ground.
[Black Particle Experience +1] [Black Particle Experience +1] In an instant, streaks of Black Particle shot straight at the ground, leaving a deep hole.
And as he cast Black Particle repeatedly, the experience bar for Black Particle was also rising rapidly.
When most of the energy in his body was consumed, he used Space Transfer to teleport secretly back to his room upstairs, absorbing sunlight to restore his energy.
Then, he transferred back to the Underground Room.
Over and over again…
[Ability: Black Particle (81/100) Level 1] Time passed.
Since the Underground Room was opaque and he couldn’t practice while absorbing sunlight, time unknowingly reached six o’clock in the evening.
By this time, the Black Particle data finally showed a change.
Looking at the Black Particle on the System Panel, which had turned into Level 2, and feeling the changes in the energy within his body, a smile appeared on his face.
Unable to resist, he began to test it.
[Black Particle Experience +1] A black ripple, slightly larger than an egg, appeared and then shot toward the ground with a whoosh.
Matter was constantly being devoured along the way!
Soon, a hole fifteen meters deep appeared!
“The attack distance and range of the Black Particle have improved quite a bit.” Although it was still a bit weak, he was already satisfied, knowing that Level 1 and Level 2 Mutant abilities were inherently weak, and qualitative changes would only occur at levels three, four, or five.
Glancing at the experience bar, which was as high as five hundred points, he couldn’t help but think.
“Now that Space Transfer and Black Particle are Level 2, I can’t expect to continue improving them within a day or two, and there’s no temporary need to upgrade Reflection Shield and Divine Finger…” Thinking this, he turned his attention to the unlock progress.
(unlock progress 39%) “Gaining the next Ability should be soon.
I wonder if it’s at 45% or 50%…” Kevin’s heart was full of anticipation.
“I wonder what the next Ability will be.
Will it be Soul Extraction, which extracts souls, or Spiritual Light Beam, or perhaps the most terrifying move, Sunshine Pervades?” If it were the first two, it would be fine, at most improving multi-faceted attacks to avoid being countered.
If it were the latter…
one must know that the previous abilities were at most minor moves, while Sunshine Pervades was a true ultimate move!
And it was a full-screen range attack!
If this were translated to reality, who knows what it would be like?
It would probably be terrifying, right?
At this moment, Kevin had to admit he was looking forward to it.
Besides these, the possible existence of Floating Flight Ability and mental abilities also made him look forward to it.
Flight went without saying; since ancient times, humans have had the idea of flying freely.
As for mental abilities…
thinking of the various mental Mutants in Marvel, he felt a bit of wariness in his heart.
Not to mention someone like Professor X, who could read minds at will, browse through others’ memories, or even cause brain Death; even others who could modify memories were enough to make one unable to defend against them!
From this perspective, mental abilities were truly a must-have; otherwise, one wouldn’t even know when they were being plotted against or if their secrets were being discovered!
“If I have mental abilities, I can at least resist or detect mental attacks and abnormalities.
Without them…” At this moment, he was looking forward to the subsequent appearance of mental-related abilities.
No matter what it was, it was basically something he needed!
“Soon, it’s not far from gaining the next Ability!” For now, he didn’t need to practice his abilities, and his energy points were naturally growing fast…
After thinking this through, his gaze turned to the ground with the hole, and his expression couldn’t help but become a bit distressed.
“How am I going to explain this to Chris?” “Should I say the ground was plowed by a giant earthworm?” “I really hope Chris won’t see it, otherwise, when he asks…” After worrying for a moment, he sighed, “Forget it, I won’t think about it.
I’d better go back and rest first.” In the next second, his figure vanished from the Underground Room and appeared in the bedroom upstairs.
Opening the door, he shouted downstairs, asking if there was any food.
Just after shouting, his expression froze as he thought of something.
It seemed he had been careless; he was so used to Space Transfer that he momentarily forgot he was upstairs!
One must know he had been in the Underground Room before, so how did he appear upstairs?!
Sure enough, in the next second, he saw Chris walking up from downstairs.
At this moment, Chris’s eyes were full of doubt.
“When did you come up?” he asked in confusion.
Kevin managed a reply, “While you were in the bathroom.” Hearing this, Chris stroked the stubble on his chin.
Although he still felt something was strange, he didn’t think too much and chose to believe him.
After all, if he hadn’t run upstairs while he was in the bathroom, it wasn’t like he could have flown up, right?
Chris thought amusingly.
Next, Kevin went downstairs with him to eat.
After eating, Kevin was silent for a moment and said, “It’s time for me to leave.” Chris was stunned and his expression grew serious.
“Kid, are you sure?
There are so many people looking for you outside, you…” Kevin nodded.
“It’s exactly because people are looking for me that I must leave.” He didn’t want anyone to implicate him, nor did he want to implicate others.
If he were exposed in this house, Chris would certainly face a lot of trouble!
At the very least, it would be a charge of harboring a criminal; in more serious cases, his Mutant identity could even be exposed, leading to his arrest!
Saying this, he believed this middle-aged tough guy understood what he meant.
Then, he added, “Besides, I’ve troubled you for a long time.
We’re not related, so I can’t keep staying here and eating for free.” “So, I definitely have to leave.
Thank you for taking care of me during this time.” Hearing this, Chris frowned and asked, “Your wound?” “It’s fine, I can still manage to run away.” Saying this, he turned and walked toward the small door he had observed during this time.
Not far away, Chris looked at him, wanting to say something but hesitating.
He naturally knew the kid was right, but…
watching his disappearing back, Chris fell into deep thought, wondering whether he should tell Magneto about this and have him save the kid…
This kid’s power was decent, at least stronger than an ordinary person’s, and since he was technically Magneto’s child, it was only reasonable for Magneto to step in and help.
After a while, he shook his head and decided to tidy up the Underground Room first.
He didn’t know if the kid had made a mess of the Underground Room.
As soon as he walked into the Underground Room, he was startled by the situation inside.
Everything else was fine, but in a spot in the right corner, an incredibly deep hole was very conspicuous, making it impossible for him not to notice!
“What is this?” He was full of shock and doubt.
The more he observed, the more puzzled he became, not understanding what could have caused this.
Unconsciously, a figure appeared in his mind.
What on earth did that kid do?
How did he do it?
…After walking out of Chris’s house, Kevin was now cautiously peeking around to observe his surroundings.
After making sure no one was there, he ran toward the distance.
As he ran, he thought, “Those people should be about to lock onto my approximate location, right?” He didn’t believe those people from the FBI and other departments would be so stupid that they couldn’t even find his approximate location!
In fact, it was just as he thought.
If he hadn’t fled to a slum area with very few surveillance cameras, he might have been exposed long ago!
Even so, those people had already narrowed down the locations and circled several possible hiding spots!
Among them was Chris’s house!
If he hadn’t come out early, he might have been surrounded along with Chris in a short while.
But it was about the same now.
He had only been running for a short while when his figure was captured by a cruising drone in the sky!
“Attention, attention!
Suspected discovery of a Mutant suspect!” “Squad in position!” While the surveillance personnel notified the standby squad, the drone moved closer to confirm his identity, and Kevin also noticed the thing.
Instantly, his face changed.
In such a sensitive period, he didn’t care if the thing belonged to someone unrelated; he immediately raised his finger and fired a Black Particle.
[Black Particle Experience +1] Boom!
The drone couldn’t dodge in time and immediately plummeted from the sky!
Kevin turned and ran toward a dark corner.
As he fled, an armed squad of ten was now closing in on his position.
Four hundred meters away, the tall and robust Captain George, dressed in black and looking serious, was holding documents in one hand and announcing to his teammates through his headset in the other.
“I’ll repeat the information on that Mutant criminal one more time.
Make sure you remember it.” “The target, besides having the Mutant Ability to absorb sunlight, also possesses Teleportation and the Ability to fire a type of black energy ball…” “Remember, the target is suspected of being able to shift at will within two meters, and the range of the black energy ball is about six meters.
Be careful not to get too close to the target and try to use long-range strikes as much as possible…” Listening to his nagging, the team members felt a bit helpless.
“Captain, you’ve explained it so detailedly.
Could we still lose?” a dark-skinned man with thick body hair laughed.
“Right.
To deal with the kid, we even brought a sniper.
With such targeted measures, how could the kid still escape?” “the kid was only able to escape from the Base because we underestimated the enemy.
Otherwise, with such a weak Ability, we would have riddled him with bullets long ago!” Many members chuckled, all agreeing with this point, and Captain George was no exception.
With so much heavy firepower, how could a teenage kid possibly escape?
Just by firing a few shots from a distance, the kid might die on the spot before he can even use his abilities!
Thinking this, Captain George gave one last warning to be careful and then, following the prompts from the surveillance personnel in his headset, rushed toward the target’s location.
As they began their operation, police cars were also rushing here from a kilometer away, clearly having received word to provide support.
Besides them, Chris, who had just walked out of the Underground Room with a puzzled face, also had a sudden change in expression, which became very ugly.
“Oh no!” He naturally noticed the situation in the distance; even from his vantage point, he could see armed personnel in black running, seemingly heading in a certain direction.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to follow and see if he could help the kid.
“I hope the kid doesn’t die too quickly, sigh…” Chris thought pessimistically.
He really couldn’t imagine how a kid who only possessed sunlight absorption and another not-so-strong Ability could survive this crisis; a single mistake would surely cost him his life!
With this pessimistic thought, he followed behind those black-clad armed personnel with long strides.
A few hundred meters away, Kevin’s brow gradually furrowed.
Using cover, he also spotted the squad approaching rapidly.
He knew that with his current weak body, he definitely couldn’t outrun these people.
He could only dodge for a while using continuous Space Transfer, but…
as he thought, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Instead of running, he might as well choose to kill these people!
“Since you want to die so badly, I’ll grant your wish,” he muttered to himself.
Two-in-one
