C80 On the eve of departure
In the darkness, a golden pupil suddenly appeared. Around his pupils, there were countless silver lines. These silver lines that were as thin as hair were slightly trembling, and then were quickly twisted by an unknown force, gathering towards the center. In an instant, all the silver lines gathered into a thin dot, and then they suddenly expanded, forming a vertical pupil like Long Qing.
Zero raised his head and spat out a mouthful of hot air. The ten fingers on his hands opened wide, and the tactical suit s on his arms were torn and minced by an invisible force, revealing skin that was similar to a white master. A stream of blood-red energy poured into the white surface of his body. The pores on his body expanded, and a stream of hot Qi flowed out from the pores one after another. The high temperature caused Zero's figure to distort slightly. With a loud roar, white air currents sprayed out in all directions, and the glass surrounding the ruins shattered at the same time, producing a series of crisp sounds.
Squatting at the zero limit, he pushed off with all his strength and shot into the sky like a rocket, leaping a hundred meters into the air.
He howled loudly, and the only sound that could be heard was that of zero echoing in the world. The thick radiation cloud in the sky seemed to sense as waves of light ripples appeared.
As he was in the air, he launched himself into the air. The air became as thick as mud, and the space under his feet began to distort. Following that, a huge kinetic energy caused him to change his direction, hurling him towards a twelve-story building at the bottom left.
His speed was so fast that he left faint, broken afterimage in the air. One after another, waves of white air sprayed out in the air, as if they were white lotuses, and in the blink of an eye, they had already arrived in the vicinity of the building.
He raised his fist and punched forward. It passed through the air and brought up a raging inferno. This fist, wrapped in raging flames, smashed into the outer wall of the building. The outer wall immediately caved in, creating a three-meter diameter circle. Then, six beams of fire shot across the wall with a fist as the center, slicing across the surface of the building in the blink of an eye and converging into a single point in the other direction of the fist.
In an instant, a gigantic mass of fire appeared, big enough to cover the entire building. The fire wave was like a tide, constantly spinning and rolling, destroying and burning all the organisms within the building from their internal molecular structure. In the blink of an eye, the building was reduced to scorched earth, which scattered along with the remnants of the dust.
He landed heavily on the ground, lowering his body the moment his toes touched the ground, pushing the force that had fallen from the sky down to the ground. As a result, cracks began to appear on the surface of the ground, before sinking into a five meter wide and two meter deep hole. In the crater, Zero once again used its power, causing a white smoke dragon to fly up.
As he passed another building, Zero stuck his hand into the wall, lifted up a ten-meter-wide wall, and threw it up.
With another step, waves of air burst out and Zero's figure disappeared into the air. When it reappeared, it was already in the flying orbit of the outer wall. A large part of the outer wall was rushing over with strong wind. He did not dodge nor evade at all, and his arms and legs contracted to the limit as he arched his body into the shape of a prawn, maintaining an overall defensive posture.
The outer wall immediately smashed onto his body, causing crushed rocks to fly everywhere. Zero abruptly stretched out his body. Through the spread of his limbs, he was able to draw out the force of the impact while being completely unharmed.
The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile, but when that smile appeared, his expression changed. A mouthful of blood sprayed out. Zero, as if he suddenly lost control of his body, fell to the ground. It was only when he was about to hit the ground that he regained his balance. He used the continuous rolling to reduce the force of the fall. He flipped over a few dozen meters away before he finally came to a stop.
Lying on the ground in the ruins, he gasped for breath.
Within the golden right eye, the vertical pupil like silver lines had already disappeared, returning to the usual state that was the edges of the pupils.
[Rampage], in the form which he had just used. This was a new ability that was formed after the genetic shock. Its effect was to increase the power by zero in an instant. The increment rate was basically one fold. However, this value was relatively speaking. The higher the grade of the ability, the smaller the increment.
It had already been two months since the battle with Solon, and during this period of time, Su Yun had stayed in the Raging Reef City. Under Viktor's observation, the genes he used to undergo the concussion on had already stabilized and there were no signs of collapse.
After experiencing the genetic shock, all the abilities automatically rose by one rank. The current him, under normal circumstances, had the first rank, Fire Essence Su's proficiency, the strength and defense of a level two, the bullet time of a level two, and the agility of a level three. As for the brand-new ability 'Rampage' that was formed due to the gene shock, this ability was not in the current knowledge system of the Five Great Regions. Therefore, Zero did not know what rank of ability it belonged to.
He only knew that [Rampage] could amplify all kinds of abilities, but its value was relatively higher. For example, the ability [Agility Enhancement], when Zero puts the remaining eight points of evolution into this ability, can directly transform [Agility Enhancement] into fifth rank. Even if he used [Rampage], it would only increase his power up to around the seventh step, and not twice as fast as the tenth step.
Therefore, Zero came to the conclusion that the maximum increment rate for [Rampage] was around the Second to Third Order. The increase in ability above fourth rank was greatly reduced, and the higher the rank of the ability, the more limited the increase. It could be predicted that when other abilities were upgraded, the effect would be miniscule. However, to the current Zero, this ability is still extremely important. It can even help him to experience the realm of a powerhouse of the seventh step in a limited amount of time.
However, the stronger the ability, the greater the limitations. This could affect any level of truth. Even though [Rampage] was powerful, it could only be used for a duration of 10 seconds. After this time was over, at 12 seconds, the gene would vibrate and at 15 seconds, the gene would crumble. Once an unnatural gene shock or immediate genetic collapse occurred, it was impossible to save zero with the current known medical techniques.
Therefore, [Rampage] was a double-edged sword. If you don't use it well, you'll kill zero.
But no matter what, a huge increase in strength of zero was an indisputable fact. It was similar to the wind pressure cutter that was formed when Su was proficient in cold fifth rank weapons. It also got a perfunctory skill due to this.
Phantom avatar, created from the speed of Zero fifth rank, looked like a doppelgänger. Remnants have the ability to disrupt vision and attack power, and when zero uses Rampage, the number of images can be increased to as many as two.
This could be said to be the last resort, and also the strongest killing weapon. As for this killing move, it naturally had to be kept a secret. As a result, recently, when he was practicing and familiarizing himself with his new ability, he chose to go to the ruins in the wilderness.
In a blink of an eye, two months had passed, and Su Yun was already familiar with mastering these new abilities, which included using the first rank and fire element Su. He was not a born Element Domain Capable, so even Zero could not understand why such a power would exist. He could only guess that it was related to Solon's battle.
In fact, zero, in the face of a variety of powerful enemies, will either have more or a certain ability. Just like how the butcher let Zero show signs of strength and enhanced defense, but Hans's battle had made Zero's healing speed much faster. But the current Fire Elemental Su was proficient in was formed after fighting with Solon.
It was just that to Zero, Su was proficient in fire element in first rank. Other than lighting up a cigarette, he really could not find any other feasible way. Unless one could raise Su's Fire Essence level to Level 2 while in berserk mode, he would be able to use a fist made out of fire that would burn the entire building.
After two months of trying, he finally found a slightly feasible method. That was to inject the energy produced by Su's first rank and Fire Essence into the Sniper Bullet, causing flames to explode when the Sniper Bullet hit its target. As for this kind of technique, which was used as an explosive bomb with his limited lifespan, with the strength of his mental power, he could only inject Fire Essence Su into five bullets per day.
Zero stared at the changing clouds. It was more than two years since he had awakened, and now he could finally experience the terror of Adepts. Adepts were only a step away from the First or Second Order when it came to power levels. However, when their abilities had risen to fifth rank, there was a clear divide between Adept and ordinary person.
However, in the vast world of superpowers, fifth rank users were far from being considered powerful. Only by standing at the peak of his strength would he be able to truly do something. For example, let Leah be reborn, or let a child like Moni not have to live a life of exile.
During the turbulent times, power determined everything!
However, Zero also knew that Fatty did not eat them in one bite. On the path of power, he still had a long way to go. During this journey, the Parkland would definitely take a stop. Zero was already fully familiar with his new ability. Now, it was time for him to move on to the next step.
He stood up and looked towards the distant north. That was where his next stop was, and the Parkland's valve's base was in the Northland!
