Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 4 Hunter Alice

dragon.

The term refers not to a fictional creature in a fantasy story, but to a real disaster behemoth.Their official name is "Dragon Phenomenon", the people of the Kingdom and the United States call it the evil dragon, and the people of Zero Island are used to calling it the God of Misfortune.In the Eternal Light Empire, the giant dragons have the oldest and most appropriate name-dragon disaster.

The giant dragon is extremely powerful, and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to be injured.They always appear without warning, make a fuss in the human world erratically, destroy everything and then disappear, just as suddenly as they appeared.The appearance and strength of these creatures have almost no commonality. Some of them are only the size of a building, and some are as huge as a mountain; Call the wind and shake the rain.

Wherever the giant dragon goes, there must be incredible disasters, such as subversion of gravity, fire and wind, the toppling of the sea, and even the chaos of time and space.This accompanying phenomenon combined with the dragon body is what ordinary people call "dragon disaster".

Since the first human civilization was established 2000 years ago, dragon plagues have always been the greatest enemy of mankind.There have been three dragon disasters in the past ten years.The disaster in the sky ten years ago reduced Ruoshui City of the Eternal Light Empire to the ground...

Three years ago, the Nether Calamity and the Glazed Calamity completely destroyed Superbia, the capital of the Morton Kingdom.

The memories of the dragon disaster ended here, and Gongsun Ce's brain began to spin.His wrists were cuffed, and the culprit stood in front of him.

"When I saw the scene, I almost broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, there were no accidental casualties, great!" The blue-haired woman with a cheerful smile was saying something to him, but it didn't matter.He was sure that the woman had uttered a word that he could not ignore...

"Sorry, miss, what did you say?"

Gongsun Ce frowned and asked, "Worshipers of giant dragons? People who worship dragon disasters?"

The blue-haired woman stared at Gongsun Ce in surprise, and shook her handcuffs: "...I didn't expect you to ask this first."

Gongsun Ce shook his head, trying to restore himself to a normal state as much as possible.But Gongsun Ce knew that he couldn't calm down immediately, his mentality was full of anxiety due to nightmares and associations, and the anxiety could only be suppressed, but could not be dispelled immediately.

Gongsun Ce looked at this new visitor from heaven. Judging from his aesthetic standards, this slim foreign woman was undoubtedly beautiful.She has brown eyes and long dark blue hair. She wears a black hunting suit and leather gloves with fingerless fingers. A short black arrow is twirling between her slender fingers. She looks like a hunter in the forest from the outside.

"You're right, I'm sorry, Miss." The superhuman nodded, "I'm Gongsun Ce, superhuman, may I ask who you are?"

The blue-haired woman carefully observed his expression, and spoke with a hint of undisguised surprise.

"Wow... I wanted to praise you for your amazing combat prowess, but for a student, you are really calm."

The blue-haired woman smiled and shook the handcuffs: "I'm Alice Adar, a member of the Wild Hunting Troop under the Seventh Knight of the Morton Royal Knights, hunting the impermanence of the dragon worshiper. I know you have many I have doubts, but it is considered an emergency right now, so please cooperate with me?"

A subordinate of the Seventh Knight?I haven't seen this person three years ago... She claims to be a member of the Wild Hunt, an organization that she has never heard of... Hunters are unpredictable magicians who wander in the gray area. The group is involved... Either she is lying, or the situation in the kingdom has changed a lot in the past three years.

Gongsun Ce thought about it quickly, and said in a strange tone: "Miss Alice, you really didn't lie to me with a false name?"

"Ahahaha, who would introduce their real name to strangers when they are on a mission?" Miss Alice laughed.

I told you my real name honestly.When introducing yourself, you should at least have the most basic respect for each other, right?

Such unequal communication made Gongsun Ce very unhappy, but he told himself that now is not the time to show his temper.Suppress the anger, get out the information first, you must first figure out the status of the so-called "dragon worshiper" before deciding on the next move.

Gongsun Ce continued to try to negotiate: "Now we know each other, I hope you can explain the basic situation to me—"

A short arrow lightly touched Gongsun Ce's neck. Alice still had a smile on her face, but her eyes looked cold.

"Don't talk, let alone move. Boy, you are in danger now."

...increasing an inch, eh?

Now that the handcuffs are over and the threat of force is started, do I look like a bad college student who is easy to bully?

Gongsun Ce twisted his neck, thinking that the overall situation is more important now.He suppressed the anger that was about to explode, and made a last effort: "I promise I will cooperate, but please tell me about the dragon worshiper-"

Alice didn't take a step back: "Obey my arrangement."

A lead directly to the powder keg ignited in his heart, which made Gongsun Ce give up his efforts to suppress his anger.He raised his right hand together with the handcuffs.

"Then, Miss Alice. You have five seconds to withdraw your duel request."

click!
The telekinetic force was suppressed with anger, and the shell of the handcuffs twisted instantly, making an overwhelmed crisp sound!
"Hey, that's a high-end product I specially ordered?!"

Alice let out a short scream that didn't match her mature appearance.She used a custom-made product specially supplied at the Wild Hunting Headquarters before departure, claiming to use a high-grade composite metal that can last for three seconds even in the hands of a wild-faced magician, but now that expensive prop is being invisible in front of her eyes. The strength was ravaged, and he couldn't even survive for half a second.One side of the metal ring was flattened by tremendous pressure, and countless fine holes appeared on the other side. Immediately, the silver ring was broken into two pieces from the center, and was shattered into several pieces of different sizes. Pieces!
"Now it's broken, there are three seconds left, I can crumple it into a ball and listen to your reply."

Gongsun Ce did what he said.He clenched his fist, and the debris from the disintegration of the handcuffs immediately gathered together in the air.

Alice raised her hand dumbfounded: "Wait, is there a need to be so angry?! I didn't mean to fight with you—"

"There are three things that I hate the most." Gongsun Ce interrupted the huntress' defense, "From mild to serious, they are 'disrespectful behavior', 'abuse of violence' and 'insulting others'.

Although Mr. Capulo launched a surprise attack just now, he also formally invited me to a duel. He can be called a polite opponent.However, you are different..."

The powerful thought power kneaded the broken pieces together, and then flattened the metal surface to make a boxy cube.Miss Hunter, who witnessed this scene, covered her mouth with her hands and wailed silently.

"I'm friendlier than that green mohawk in every way! I'm handcuffed because—"

"Of course I understand that you are worried about my personal safety, but you don't even want to listen to me. Do you just want to control the situation, Miss Alice?" Gongsun Ce said sternly, "I don't mind cooperating with your work, But you not only disrespected me, but also threatened me with your weapon. Alice Adar, you have stepped on my minefield, and I can't find a reason not to be your enemy!"

Alice couldn't see that mature demeanor at all at the moment. She stared at the broken handcuffs pitifully, distressed and bewildered alternately on her face.

"Wait a moment--"

"Five seconds have passed, are you ready?" Gongsun Ce flew into the air, looking down at the lady who met for the first time from a height of five meters above the ground, "Then let's start. The superpower, Gongsun Ce, is here .”

Gongsun Ce raised his right hand in a bluff, threatening to launch an attack, and Alice hurriedly waved her hand: "Wait, wait! Think about it, if you start fighting here, it would be very bad if this guy's accomplices took advantage of it." Wonderful?!"

"It has nothing to do with me, it's something you need to consider as a professional."

"Look, this is a residential area. It's not good if you hurt innocent people! Elderly people and elementary school students will be scared too!!"

"I will immediately shift the battlefield. You can rest assured about the residents' sentiments. The citizens of this city have experienced many hardships and are well-informed. Even the old lady who sells breakfast in the next building will agree with this battle to punish the rude people." .”

"Are all the old people in this city so full of martial arts?! Calm down—"

"I'm very calm. It took me so long to talk to you..." Gongsun Ce clenched his hands tightly, "But you don't want to say sorry to me."

The rushing force caused turbulence in the air, causing a gust of wind to blow in front of the apartment building, and the invisible telekinetic power turned into a sledgehammer in the imagination, smashing down from the sky!
This attack has two purposes, one is to punish the disrespectful as he said, and the other is to test the strength of Hunter Alice.

Gongsun Ce controlled the strength lightly, and he had already made a plan: the moment before this attack touched Alice, the power gathered in a ball would entangle her like a silk thread and subdue her in place.He didn't think that this blow would be able to deal with an "Impermanence Envoy", what he wanted to know was how the other party could crack the attack.

"Oops..."

Gongsun Ce's attack missed nothing, leaving only a teasing sigh on the spot.Alice disappeared from the spot, just as bizarre as when the woman appeared.

Gongsun Ce was not surprised by this, he was thinking about the way the hunter left.Gongsun Ce, who was flying high, had a wide field of vision. He confirmed that it was not a cover-up by quickly moving his body to hide in the blind spot of his vision, but that it literally disappeared from the original place.

Hallucination ability?Not quite, there should be a reaction when the illusion is broken.Help from fellow party?Did not feel the presence of a third party around.Thinking about it bluntly, it is likely to be a time-space ability related to movement...

"..."

Gongsun Ce glanced at the situation at the door of the apartment building.Capulo, who was knocked unconscious, was still lying on the ground, and the freesia that Alice stepped on when she appeared was still blooming in the shadows.

Gongsun Ce had a rough guess in his mind.He scattered the invisible power into filaments, and laid an impenetrable net within 20 meters around him.

Afterwards, Gongsun Ce closed his eyes and began to count in his heart.

1, 2, 3...

When he counted to 5, there was a movement from one of the countless threads. It was behind him obliquely, in the shadow formed by the sun.

Gongsun Ce intersected his hands and ten fingers, imagining the form of this attack in his mind.

He needs an attack that is powerful enough to have enough oppression for both superpowers and impermanent magicians.Thinking of this, he already had an idea.

The invisible power, invisible power, and elusive power dispersed, and another brand new power gathered in his hands.That is tangible, visible, matter that can be captured.It is completely different from invisible power, another ability to materialize thoughts...

The movement of the thread intensified, and the superhuman opened his eyes.

Alice Adar was standing in his shadow, with a tiny freesia at her feet.

Alice stroked her long hair gracefully, and said with a smile, "Has your mind calmed down now—what is that?!"

The reason why she exclaimed was the huge weapon in the young man's hands.

That thing has an extremely wide and thick white hammer head, and a slender handle that can shock the teacher of structural mechanics.This is a huge hammer that is often seen in children's animations in the United States. The two sides of the hammer head are hollowed out to mark the words "100T".

Before Alice disappeared, this weapon never existed.This is a new weapon that Gongsun Ce made in just a few seconds... It is another ability he possesses!
"White Matter Hammer!"

Without saying another word of nonsense, Gongsun Ce swung his hammer down.The hammer head, which was bigger than the gate of the apartment building, hit the hunter with the triple acceleration of gravity, arm strength and telekinetic power!

Alice's smile froze on her face, and the seasoned and experienced impermanent magician immediately made a decision: "I'm sorry! I was wrong to imprison you in handcuffs just now! I admit that part of it is that I want to master the negotiation The selfishness of dominance, but more of the goodwill of wanting to protect you, anyway, I’m really sorry!”

Then the pure white giant hammer dissipated in an instant, Gongsun Ce fell back to the ground, and nodded to Miss Hunter: "It's okay, I forgive you."

"Who is it that is rude..." Miss Alice was crying, as if she couldn't laugh anymore, "Having such a powerful ability to scare girls..."

"With all due respect, I think that women in society who are obviously a few years older than me can no longer call themselves girls, and it is also difficult for me, who is 19 years old this year, to be called a teenager."

Alice glared: "Try to say it again, I am just in the first half of my 20s this year, and I am a girl no matter what point of view I look at!"

Gongsun Ce sighed and shook his head: "I'm just telling the truth, if I offend you, then I apologize."

"It's not so offensive...don't bring up the topic of age in front of women..."

Miss Alice began to despair again.

Where did this person lose his sassy feeling when he first appeared on the stage 5 minutes ago? Who is to blame?

Alice, who was so strange, and Capullo, who was unconscious on the ground, still had a lot of things to deal with, and now, he who had taken the lead in the negotiations was finally able to ask the question he cared about most.

"Please also tell me, Miss Alice. What exactly are the so-called dragon worshipers?"

Alice hesitated for a moment, then said hesitantly: "Don't you ask the source of our ability first? I mean, you can tell that this person is not a superpower."

"I'll talk about this later, please answer my question first." Gongsun Ce insisted.

"Okay." Alice said, "Actually, you can understand it just by hearing the name. Dragon Worshipers are a group of lunatics who pursue dragons. They have seen dragons in books, videos, and even in reality. Bewildered by their power, they even regarded them as gods."

Alice looked down at the unconscious Capullo, and said in a complicated tone: "This group of people is the same... He experienced the collapse of the kingdom three years ago, and he has regarded the evil dragon as his savior since then."

Gongsun Ce felt his mouth was parched.Once again, those lingering pasts resurfaced in his mind with incomparable clarity.Three years ago, the kingdom collapsed, the disaster of the netherworld... the disaster of the dragon...

——"I am taking risks...in order to summon the Almighty God!"

Capulo's speech flashed in his memory, forcing Gongsun Ce to face the worst guess.He asked eagerly: "They? Capullo and his accomplices?! What are they trying to do...Damn it! Do they want to summon a dragon?!"

Alice took half a step back, she was really taken aback by the young man's mad look.

"Normally it's impossible, but, in the worst cases..." whispered Alice, "I think it's possible."

Gongsun Ce stood there in a daze, feeling in a trance that he had returned to the capital of the kingdom shrouded in gray mist, back to that tragic day that countless people lost.

At this moment, the distant past catches up, with the pain and sorrow that he has deliberately forgotten.It was as if a gigantic wheel was turning again, creaking after three years of stagnation, propelling him forward.

That irresistible device is called Destiny.Everywhere, like a shadow.

Gongsun Ce didn't think too much anymore, his instinct and past had already helped him make a decision.He pushed down his glasses and waved to the bewildered hunter.

"What are you still doing, Miss Alice?" Gongsun Ce said, "Let's go. Let's go. Start to act. Lead me to find these lunatics... and kill all the dragon worshipers, leaving no one behind."
