Chapter 383 Control and Power
'This guy's are making me look weak,' I sighed as I watched the battle escalate at an unbelievable level.
Before, their power could only destroy a small city with one punch, but now each attack could probably wipe out a big island.
Their strikes warped space, and the sound, which shouldn't exist here, echoed as if taunting the vacuum-like environment that couldn't handle their power anymore.
Initially, I thought Adam would eventually lose, considering the immense energy the blue humanoid possessed. It was able unleash power far beyond my comprehension continuously .
However, to my surprise, Adam became more efficient in utilizing his copied powers. Each of his attacks were more lethal and accurate.
Now, he was pushing back the blue humanoid.
Even the other blue entities' smiles turned serious as they watched one of their own slowly fall into a disadvantage.
*ZAPPPPPPPPPP!Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Adam's laser beams tore through the air, causing destruction wherever they struck. The blue humanoid struggled to keep up, constantly dodging and trying to counter Adam's attacks.
With each passing moment, the blue humanoid grew more desperate, unable to match Adam's abilities. It became clear that Adam had gained the upper hand, leaving his enemy struggling to defend itself.
Finally, unable to tolerate it any longer, one of the blue entities teleported behind Adam and punched a hole through his body. But instead of blood bursting out, he vanished like a mirage, only to reappear a great distance away, right beside Eve.
Eve released Zen and enclosed him in a safe, invisible bubble. Judging by their actions, they must be planning something big.
They tightly clasped hands, sharing their powers in silence. A gentle blue pulse flowed from Adam to Eve, as if transferring more than just energy between them. I could sense that it was also passing along combat knowledge and much more.
'So, they're planning for a tag team fight,' I concluded.
The blue entities sensed the change and gathered closer together, their numbers was now twenty. Their coordinated movement made them appear even more scary.
One of them was able to pushed Adam to exhaustion so I imagined that twenty was too much even if he was at his peak health.
With the odds now heavily against the duo, I couldn't help but be curious on about how they would survive.
"Synchronization Complete," Adam and Eve spoke simultaneously. There were no sounds in their voices, but I could read their lips.
"Recomputing Chance of Winning."
"Recomputing Chance of Winning."
"Recomputing Chance of Winning."
"Chances: Zero Percent."
Both of them declared, this was the limit of their power. It was obvious that they would be killed if a miracle didn't happen.
"No, I need to do something!" Zen clicked his tongue in frustration after also understanding the situation.
He raised his hands and tapped something on the screen of his Advanced Smart watch. I wasn't sure what he was up to, but looking at the screen, it seemed like it was linked to Adam and Eve.
As if on cue, Adam and Eve's demeanor shifted. They closed their eyes in unison, and when they reopened them, another word flowed from their lips.
"Neu…"
[End of Memory]
The sudden notification from the VR headset jolted me awake. Frustration bubbled inside as I quickly took off the headset while letting out a disappointed sigh.
I had been fully immersed in the memory, reaching an important part before I was interrupted.
It was akin to eagerly anticipating the next episode of my favorite anime, only to discover I'd have to wait until next week.
And then, to add fuel to my frustration, I got a news that the team behind it was taking a two-month break.
'Forget it,' I sighed, making an effort to calm myself down.
"Master, why'd you wake up so suddenly? Is the memory short?" Dr. Han asked, looking puzzled as he approached me.
"What do you mean?" I questioned, looking confused. I thought I'd been watching the memory for over an hour already.
I checked the time on my digital wristwatch and saw that only 2 minutes had passed. My confusion deepened as I realized how little time had gone by.
"Does this thing have a way to speed up time for me?" I asked, pondering if it used some sort of technology to alter my perception, similar to how it feels inside my dream world, where I can adjust the flow of time.
"It doesn't," Dr. Han replied.
It must have been my system that allowed me to view the memory much faster than usual.
I was just puzzled why I didn't receive a notification this time, but for now, I pushed that question to the back of my mind. The memory remained fresh in my thoughts, and recalling those scenes made me realize how limited my thinking was.
After calming myself down and ensuring that I had seen the entirety of the fragmented memory, I left the room, giving Dr. Han some instructions before leaving his laboratory.
From there, I made my way down the corridor of my next destination.
The faint scent of antiseptic lingered in the air, while muted footsteps and distant conversations echoed off the sterile walls as I made my way through the hallway.
Spotting a room in the distance, I quickened my pace and headed towards it.
Inside, the room was filled with the steady beeping of machines, creating a somber atmosphere.
Zhang lay unconscious in the bed, his breathing aided by a device in his mouth. Tubes and wires connected him to monitors, all buzzing with activity.
'What a sight, the strongest of Asia reduced to this,' I muttered, shaking my head in disappointment.
But even though he had lost, Zhang still held immense value to me. Unfortunately, his unconscious state rendered me unable to use my usual suggestion on him.
'Let see if this will work ,' I muttered to myself after thinking of a possible solution.
