"No, you are wrong,"
a voice suddenly appeared beside Duge.
The speaker was a middle-aged man in his fifties, clad in a neatly tailored suit, with a handso face and ticulously grood salt-and-pepper hair. His eyes were bright and energetic as he hovered in the air, reminiscent of a sage.
Beside him floated a girl with silver hair, also suspended in mid-air on a swirl of air beneath her feet.
In the water beneath Duge’s feet, there were two young people, one with gills on his face, the other with sickly white skin.
The two were struggling against the raging waves beneath Duge’s feet; the one with gills tried to push the waves back into the sea,
while the albino-like youth used his power to freeze a whole swath of the wave into a block of ice...
But their powers were too weak; against the formidable Sea God’s Power, all their efforts were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot;
anwhile,
Duge sensed that a figure was rapidly approaching in Zijinghua City.
In an instant, he had already arrived at the shore.
It was another young man in his early twenties, with brown hair, wearing a tight suit decorated with a flashy lightning logo.
The super-speed traveler Gao Deng—this world’s Flash Hero!
Duge instantly identified him.
At that mont,
Gao Deng stood on the shore, looking at Duge from a distance.
...
Look.
They’re all popping up now!
A smirk crossed Duge’s lips. Why go door-to-door looking for them when he could just lay down so bait and wait for them to co to him?
"Jas, you finally ca." General Klotho saw the individual, sighed, and said, "This lunatic is now your problem."
Jas ignored him, instead looking at Duge with a soft gaze that seed imbued with a miraculous power, "Kid, you are too tense. Relax a bit. I know you’ve t the Goddess of Freedom, but you might have misunderstood freedom."
Telekinesis isn’t mind control, so was Jas using hypnosis?
Well!
Spiritual power isn’t high enough to use telekinesis, but who gave him the confidence to hypnotize soone who has three hundred billion in spiritual power and rules the world?
Duge blinked and asked, "Where did I go wrong?"
"Freedom isn’t about doing whatever you want, but about self-sovereignty under rational restraint, about self-discipline. And it is the freedom that cos from self-discipline that allows you to truly control your own powers,"
Jas was oblivious that his spiritual power had not affected Duge, and continued in a soothing tone, "Kid, your powers are imnse. But what you are doing now is hurting more people. Take it easy, don’t let the tragedy that happened to your parents happen again.
I’m here to teach you how to use your powers, what true freedom really is..."
"Jas, you can’t even control your own life, and you want to teach about freedom?" Duge shook his head, broke free of Jas’s telekinesis, and smiled, "Why don’t you follow instead? I’ll show you the real world. Let’s join hands and create a world without wars, only peace, where everyone can live according to their own beliefs, a truly free world."
"..." Jas’s face suddenly changed, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, staring at Duge in horror, "How... how could you possibly have such imnse spiritual power?"
"Because this is the power of the God Spirit," Duge said with a smile, and suddenly waved his hand, freezing a transparent huge ice block next to him.
In the center of the ice block was the form of a complete human.
"Sis!" exclaid the silver-haired girl beside Jas, anger flaring in her eyes as she looked at Duge, "Let Sis go!"
A completely naked young man beca visible within the ice block,
his face crimson with pain as he looked out at Duge, his expression slowly twisting in anguish from suffocation.
The Invisible, Duge had sensed him from the mont he appeared.
His body could indeed refract light, and he had been quieting his heartbeat, but he couldn’t hide his body heat or breathing.
This kind of invisibility superpower was far inferior in stealth compared to the keyword.
Most crucially, even clothes couldn’t be worn. Who was he trying to offend?
"Are you sure you want to act against ?" Duge looked at the silver-haired girl, smiling, "Once I release control of the seawater, you’ll be the murderer of the entire Zijinghua City. The two youngsters below won’t possibly stop such a massive tsunami."
"..." The silver-haired girl’s face flushed red, and, not knowing what to do, she turned to look at Jas. She couldn’t bear the guilt of killing millions of people.
But how could she not save a comrade trapped in an ice block by Duge?
She felt torn.
...
Indeed.
Only as a villain can one do as one pleases!
What morals?
What conscience?
They are all obstacles that hinder one’s rise!
Duge chuckled softly, "What’s your na?"
"Ely," the silver-haired girl said.
"Follow instead. With Jas, you don’t even dare to do what you wish," Duge said pityingly, "His restrictions on you will only kill you all, preventing you from advancing further."
"Kou Nan..." Jas could no longer maintain his calmness and exclaid, "This is stubbornness, not freedom. Your actions will cause everyone to hate the Mutants, destroying the chance for Mutants to survive."
