Chapter 114: Vol2 Ch12: [Loneliness] and [Stray Arrow]
Translator: La0o9
Wan Heng Yang’s Disaster Authority stems from his own experiences, losing his wife and children, being alone near the end of his life, this was a kind of disaster for a lot of people.
Authority: [Loneliness], its power was to make everyone around a certain person accidentally or unintentionally leave them at a certain period of ti, in worst-case scenarios, this could even beco a permanent separation.
It was not that Wan Heng Yang didn’t want to directly use this Authority on Zhao Shi Chang, but rather because that bastard wouldn’t care. He took Wan Heng Yang’s wife not because he truly loved her, but rather because he enjoyed the feeling of conquering won who were originally far out of his reach.
But once he was tired of her, he filed for a divorce without hesitation. For people like him, the only thing he valued was authority and money. As long as he had these, won and friends would flock to him instead of the other way around, so loneliness didn’t matter.
Use my power on the Disaster King Fang Ze while he still hasn’t fully awakened and kill him.
A sickly smile appeared on Wan Heng Yang’s face, combined with the haggard expression from his long years of effort made him appear very eerie.
He could already imagine, after the death of the Disaster King, the planetoids in the sky would start falling towards Earth. The celestial body would rub against the atmosphere, burn fiery red and strike the 6th domain head-on. Even if the teorite wasn’t big, it would still be enough to destroy the entire 6th domain.
Those who took no actions, the people indifferent to his suffering, criminals who got to live freely without persecution of the Law, all of them would be equally powerless against the falling star.
With the thing those guys gave , they won’t notice . When my Authority takes effect, that young man will have been by himself.
Wan Heng Yang stroked the device on his arm and began to use his Authority without hesitation: [Loneliness], the target was the newly born Disaster King Apophis: Fang Ze.
He imagined the picture of Fang Ze that those people provided, then exercised the power of this Authority.
Even if Disaster Authorities had different functions and different levels of accompanying Disasforce, as long as an Authority was exercised, it would definitely take effect. Although, it was hard to say to what degree.
For example, the Disaster King who held the [Solar Storm] Authority, after he was assassinated, a solar storm did erupt with the target being Earth. The disaster happened, but after the interference of another Disaster King’s ability, the solar storm missed and did almost nothing.
In other words, after an Authority was exercised, a disaster would definitely occur, but it was impossible to tell what kind of results the disaster would actually produce.
This was where his group of collaborators ca in. After he used his Authority, the people who stayed around Fang Ze to protect him would definitely encounter various accidents that lead them to leaving his side, but the amount of ti that they did so was uncertain.
What his collaborators had to do was hold those people back and extend the period of Fang Ze’s isolated and helpless state as long as possible.
As for who ‘those people’ were, Wan Heng Yang didn’t know, only that their representative, Wang Zhao, suddenly approached him to provide funds for his court appeal and the instrunt on his arm that could suppress the Disasforce fluctuation, at the sa ti used his [Cri Disaster] Authority on him.
It was also thanks to this that Wan Heng Yang attempted to use his Authority and Disasforce to kill so of the VIPs who prevented his appeal from going through, hoping to intimidate them so that they would repent. But if people repented so easily, there wouldn’t be an idiom that said ‘no regret even in death’.
...
Fang Ze was walking on the street with a helpless expression on his face. It’s been so long since he had a day off, yet he still had to go shopping together with this little missy. As he watched the excited Liu Shi walking in front of him, Fang Ze face-pald and complained: “Is this person really here to protect ? Why do I feel like I’m taking care of her instead?”
Despite saying so, for an only-child like Fang Ze, the feeling of being accompanied by soone actually felt nice.
His parents had been working overseas for a very long ti, hardly ever showing themselves at ho. Throughout his childhood, they had been relying on Qiao Jie’s family next door for a lot of things, but regardless of how good the two families’ relationship was, they still had their own lives, so he couldn’t bother them too much.
“Make way, make way” so people in colourful clown costus were carrying props not too far from where they were. Fang Ze naturally dodged them and noticed that a new shop had set up the stage for its opening ceremony, inviting these circus troupe people to perform.
Quite a few people were crowding around them to watch the show, being pushed by that crowd, Fang Ze suddenly felt his pocket becoming lighter. When he turned around, he found that his wallet had fallen out due to his pants being caught on a protruding tree branch and ripped.
Liu Shi who was walking in front of him had already been pushed out of sight by the crowd of people. While both of them were Authority Holders, they weren’t crazy enough to use Disasforce within such a crowd. Disasforce wasn’t omnipotent, in fact, most of the ti the only thing Disasforce could actually do was destroy.
Although there had been so research on the application of Disasforce and produced so results, such research was under strict control by the governnt. Authority Holders were already strong enough, so unless absolutely necessary, they weren’t willing to let them grow even stronger.
The performance on the stage had already begun, the people crowded around the stage, Fang Ze bent down to pick up his wallet and the perforr on the stage was doing a fire-eating trick.
Under the influence of so power, the perforr who had put the flaming torch in front of his mouth and was about to spit the kerosene out to breath fire suddenly felt his throat itchy, choked and vomited the kerosene in his mouth instead of blowing it forward.
The inflad kerosene fell on the stage, igniting it on fire while a staff backstage was preparing so fireworks to shoot into the sky. There was a strict ban on unauthorized fireworks in the city, but as long as you only prepared 1-2 of them, no one would actually care to enforce anything.
Seeing the perforr running into a problem, the stagehand quickly ran on stage to help and tripped a few fireworks at his feet. So sparks just happened to scatter and landed exactly on the fuse of the fireworks. As everyone was in a panic, the sound of the firecracker fuse burning did not get noticed right away.
The fireworks prepared here was called the Heaven Shaking Thunder, known for making a huge noise as it is shot to the air. But if this struck soone on their head or neck, it could actually be fatal, so as the popping of fireworks started to co out, the entire area was plunged into chaos.
Panic and fearful shouts filled the entire street. There had been people trampled to death during busy commuting hours in underground subways, let alone such a scene of chaos. Now that everyone was in a panic, most of the people here were acting on their pure instincts to escape.
Within the chaos, Fang Ze noticed that several people around him were protecting him, either intentionally or unintentionally, completely unlike the panicking crowd running for their lives.
“Disperse” in the chaos, Fang Ze seed to hear Liu Shi’s voice.
Liu Shi’s real na was ominous, as her na was also the Disaster Authority that she held.1
Authority: [Stray Arrow], referring to an arrow that randomly flies towards soone or sothing that wasn’t its target. Of course, in today’s society, this usually ant stray bullets more than arrows, but the aning was essentially referring to items that were flying randomly or flying without aim.
Fang Ze sighed in relief, since Liu Shi was here, the stray fireworks would find it hard to actually hurt soone. Unfortunately, they didn’t have a [Trampling Disaster] Authority Holder among them, otherwise, they could stabilize the trampling being caused by his chaos.
