LOGINGunnr raised a hand, and every single Jayzepanese immediately halted, standing respectfully behind him.He looked at Ray and smiled. "Channing, you Gohaven people have a saying: a wise man submits to circumstances. Fanghold is the strongest force in Guillory City—without equal. And Guillory City is the most densely populated city in your country. If we can rule here, then in any other city, we would still be the dominant power."To stand against us is to stand against the tide. That is not a wise choice."But we, the Fanghold, thirst for talent. If you join us, I won't hold your past against you. On the contrary, I will value you highly and grant you endless wealth and glory."His English was imperfect, but it was clear he had studied Gohaven culture well. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to quote so many idioms.Ray sneered.Cunning as ever. Gunnr spoke with apparent sincerity, but if he actually believed a word of it, he'd be beaten to death the very next second.If it were some
Each spatial swap covered a hundred meters. With a single thought, Ray could trigger it—and with spatial perception guiding him, he could precisely lock onto usable objects along his path and swap positions instantly.How fast he could "run" depended entirely on how quickly his thoughts moved.After days of training, his mind now operated at a blistering pace. Ten thoughts per second.In other words, he could advance one kilometer every second.That was far faster than Astrid. The distance between them closed rapidly.Four kilometers. Two. One… three hundred meters. One hundred.Close enough.Spatial swap.Whoosh—Astrid appeared in midair right before him. This time, Ray immediately expanded his domain, determined to finish her once and for all.Her abilities were bizarre and ever-changing. The combination of spatial portal and spatial swap had already failed twice. So now, he switched tactics—back to his spatial domain. Last time, it had been against thirty-seven opponents; t
A giant over a hundred meters tall—how large would its fist be?That punch came fast and heavy, effortlessly breaking the sound barrier. And yet, despite its terrifying force, it carried not the slightest whistle through the air.Ray remained utterly calm, opening a spatial portal above his head.The fist crashed down—and something bizarre happened. It plunged straight into another dimension and vanished instantly. Not only that, but the ice giant's momentum carried it forward. After the fist disappeared, the forearm followed, then the upper arm, each part swallowed in turn.Only then did Astrid manage to halt her advance, even stepping back slightly.The massive ice giant now lacked its right arm. It was an eerie sight.Ray couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the missed opportunity.Though the ice giant appeared whole, it was actually composed of countless fragments of snow and ice—effectively a collection of separate pieces. The spatial portal could only devour whatever entered
Could Kirk really cast a curse just by using someone's name?Maybe he simply hadn't used the ability before—or perhaps it was newly awakened. Either way, it was possible.A thought flickered through Ray's mind. He declared boldly, "A true man never changes his name nor his surname. My name is Channing Oakley!"He put on a valiant, unflinching front.Astrid let out a soft, knowing sound in her heart, a cold sneer tugging at her lips.It was true that Kirk couldn't curse a target through their name alone. However, they did have an ability user capable of locating someone through their name—if the names matched exactly, every individual bearing that name could be sensed. A truly uncanny ability.She wasn't confident she could kill Ray outright. But once she had his name, she could pinpoint his location. When the time came, she and Gunnr could strike together and kill him."Channing, what an honor," Astrid said with a smile.The smile hadn't even faded when both her hands lashed fo
Astrid was filled with unease.Ray's last move had been utterly terrifying. Thirty-six people—all ability users—and they had all died in an instant.Sure, Astrid could have wiped out thirty-six people herself if her powers were far stronger than theirs. That would have been a straightforward massacre. But Ray's ability… it was too bizarre. Too strange for her to even comprehend.Fire, ice, earth spikes—those were understandable, traceable. But this? What kind of power was this? For a fleeting moment, she had even feared she might die herself."Who… are you?" Astrid asked.Ray, however, was equally surprised. He had clearly activated his domain, yet this woman had still escaped.Technically, his domain wasn't meant to banish anyone. It wasn't an independent space. As long as he hadn't explicitly blocked it, even ordinary humans could theoretically move in and out freely, as if the domain didn't exist.But he had sealed it. No entry, no exit.And still, Astrid had slipped away.
'I'll take them all out at once,' Ray thought to himself. What was the point of playing games with these Jayzepanese? Only dead Jayzepanese were good Jayzepanese."Spatial domain—activate!"In an instant, twenty-nine of the thirty-seven enemies were swallowed by his spatial domain. Of course, the thirty-seven couldn't all crowd into the domain, leaving eight outside—but Ray didn't care. With a thought, he activated spatial swap.One… two… three… the eight outside were instantly pulled into the domain.The scene left Astrid and her subordinates stunned."What… what kind of ability is this?""How can someone move people out of thin air?""If you drop someone midair, wouldn't they just die on impact?""What if you threw them into fire?"Their shock quickly turned to fear."This Gohaven monster must die!""Slash him!"The Jayzepanese roared, launching attacks simultaneously without waiting for orders. Fireballs, ice arrows, sound waves, thrown blades—dozens of superpowered st
It had only been fifty-four days? Ray couldn't believe it. It felt like an eternity had passed.He checked the date: July 24th. Normally, this would be the hottest period of the year. What did people fear most when going outside?The sun.Its rays were brutal, scorching.But now… Ray longed desp
Ray was resting with his eyes closed.He had barely slept a few hours the night before. Even though his body was far stronger than that of an ordinary person, he still couldn't afford to overdraw himself too much.From time to time, he released a pulse of spatial perception. Sending one out every
Lucas's team watched with cold sneers.Once that massive boulder came down, the entire villa would be shattered instantly. Even if the rat inside wasn't crushed to death, he would at least be badly injured and forced to flee.Suddenly, their vision blurred.Another huge boulder flew out from the
It was completely impassable.Digging out a passage? It could be done, but how long would it take? It would be even slower than walking out on foot.So one had to keep a low profile. When national power reemerged and accounts were settled later, which bird that stuck its head out could possibly su
