Ch 271: Hero’s Stage

“Hey, little brother, and that star over there, why don’t you make a move? If you don’t, I’ll have to go first, oh.”

Ji Chuan wasn’t unwilling to act, but he couldn’t sense how this person was using their Special Ability. Xia Yida was also anxious; her Special Ability wasn’t offensive either.

But danger was imminent.

The woman’s expression was relaxed. After speaking, she simply stood there smiling.

“What is that…?”

Something was flying rapidly through the air. Seeing that the other party wasn’t moving, Xia Yida turned to run, but was tripped by Xia Yiqing, who suddenly changed his movements.

It was falling airplane debris. The debris scattered across her escape route, colliding with the ground with a loud bang, rotating and continuing to roll forward.

If she hadn’t been tripped, Xia Yida would have been killed by the debris. Even if she had been fast enough to run past it, she would have been cut in half by the rotating debris.

The woman seemed somewhat surprised, but she still smiled at the two of them.

The black Energy pouring from the City suddenly intensified. A stream of black Energy seemed to pass through a hardware store, carrying a large number of nails and blades towards Ji Chuan.

“No good!”

Ji Chuan exclaimed. At this speed and range, even if he reacted quickly and dodged, the other companions in the area would be riddled with holes.

He subconsciously used his Metal Control ability, and all the metal fragments in the energy storm flew towards the other side.

At the moment of activation, Ji Chuan felt a flash of light, but it was fleeting. He once again felt the flow of Energy!

What’s going on? This person has used their Special Ability twice. Ordinary people definitely wouldn’t master more than one Special Ability.

Xia Yida stared in astonishment at the dark-skinned man. Was he really Ji Chuan?

This time, the woman’s eyes showed some bewilderment. She seemed unable to understand how someone who could escape Jiejie’s nightmare could also manipulate the previous metal attack.

But she continued to increase her Special Ability output, determined to leave these people to die without a burial place.

The black Energy poured onto a towering unfinished building. Unable to withstand such destruction, the building began to sway and collapsed towards the group.

Xia Yida quickly prayed in her heart. She hoped her Special Ability could work a miracle. The shadow of the building gradually extended to this area. Even if she could escape, her companions would die.

The building was getting closer and closer, but Xia Yida discovered that the angle at which it was falling was precisely an empty window. There were no objects in the unfinished building; if it fell, she would only be trapped in the empty window and nothing would happen.

But what good would that do? It would only save her life; everyone else would be smashed into mincemeat.

Ji Chuan looked at this scene incredulously. Were all these coincidences caused by this woman?

Seeing the building about to fall, only Flight and immense strength could change the situation. Had he entered the Gate only to watch his former companions die before his eyes?!

“No! No! I won’t allow this to happen!”

Ji Chuan ran towards the center of his companions, facing the collapsing building without dodging. He couldn’t let his companions die before his eyes.

Wasn’t he doing his best to change this moment?!

A beam of light shone on Ji Chuan, like a spotlight on a stage.

To the astonishment of the woman and Xia Yida, Ji Chuan flew up. He was like a Superman, meeting the building that was close at hand.

The building smashed into Ji Chuan’s hands. Although he was pushed down a distance by the immense weight, he steadily caught it.

“Aaah!!!”

Ji Chuan roared, his forehead and arms bulging with veins. The building actually began to slowly rise.

“What kind of joke…”

The woman’s gaze changed from surprise to terror. She had almost expended a great deal of Energy to create this blow, a killing blow that was unexpectedly countered by this inconspicuous man.

What exactly was this man’s Special Ability? From his performance, there was no connection between several abilities.

She was even considering whether the news of No. 1 falling into a deep sleep was false; this dark-skinned man was No. 1.

Xia Yida looked incredulously as the building was lifted by the man who claimed to be Ji Chuan. She had begun to believe him.

He had had a chance to escape, but he risked his life to save everyone.

“Ah!”

With a forceful push from Ji Chuan’s hands, the remains of the building were thrown far away from the group.

He gasped for breath, his gaze fierce as he looked at the woman in the field. He seemed to have figured out this man’s Special Ability.

His Special Ability seemed to be activated by emotion. Each time he activated it, his emotions had obvious fluctuations. Just now, he had burst forth with a strong will to save his companions, without any fear in the face of imminent death.

It’s courage…

Ji Chuan’s chest heaved; he felt that the previous outburst had consumed a huge amount of Energy.

If this person could use any Special Ability he wanted simply by bravely facing his enemy, Ji Chuan intended to finish the battle quickly.

Had he entered this Gate to save his companions from being killed by this woman?

The woman could no longer smile as she watched Ji Chuan’s furious outburst in the air. Her Special Ability required a degree of rationality. She had used a tremendous amount of Energy just now; the collapse of the building was almost the ultimate weapon in this field.

Yet, it was countered by the man before her. What exactly was this person?

Cold sweat beaded on her forehead, but she continued to use her Special Ability.

A plane flew from a distance, on fire, and crashed towards them. Ji Chuan simply raised his hand, and the plane exploded in mid-air. Although many plane fragments flew towards them, Ji Chuan opened a huge Protective Shield, enclosing everyone within.

The woman’s eyes widened in terror, and she collapsed to the ground. She felt the fatigue of using her Special Ability.

Several Gundams flew rapidly from a distance. Jiejie had sensed the abnormality on the Battlefield. A monster outside the situation seemed to have appeared.

How could anyone have resolved the crisis just now?

Her Special Ability only needed to wait in the distance for those who were hit to be absorbed; there was no need to get close and take any risks.

But the situation was urgent. If she didn’t go, Meimei would die. She couldn’t imagine what her world would be like without her sister.

As she approached, she found that her sister’s chest had been pierced by rock spikes, and her eyes were becoming glazed over.

“Ling Ling!”

Jiejie’s cold expression changed. She ran to her sister’s side in a panic.

“Jiejie, I’ve been a disaster since I was little… I’ve caused you a lot of trouble. Now… cough…”

“Now, I won’t be a burden to you anymore…”

Tears rolled down her sister’s eyes, but a smile played on her bloodstained lips.

Her eyes closed forever.
