Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 2134 - 2134 Slacker Selina's Superpower, Thanos's Troops



2134 Slacker Selina’s Superpower, Thanos’s Troops

The transformation in Director Selina’s body was like a nuclear reaction. Once it started, the reaction immediately increased at an exponential rate, and there was no way to hide it.

Like the dog head, she was first stupefied, then intoxicated. For a moment, she forgot that she was still surrounded by a raging tide of energy.

It was still old Luke, steady as a rock, who reacted quickly and immediately checked the system explanation for the person he trusted the most.

As a 3-star teammate, Selina had a dedicated mission panel in the system, and it didn’t take long for Luke to learn the basic information.

Luke knew Selina’s body and mind better than she did.

In an instant, he found a description in Selina’s panel, which had just been refreshed in the system: Special Genetic Evolution (Intermediate). The user can evolve actively or passively to adapt to survival needs.

Luke was a little stunned when he read the description. F*ck, that didn’t make sense! It didn’t look like a superpower that a slacker should have at all, right?

Wasn’t the superpower she wanted the most to be a bottomless pit that could eat and never get fat? Em~ Wait, it seemed like she really couldn’t get fat!

How could a woman who loved to eat delicious food maintain that captivating figure of hers? It was a superpower, of course.

Thoughts of Selina’s experiences while growing up flashed through Luke’s mind, and he vaguely got it.

No wonder Director Selina had been able to eat a lot since she was young and didn’t put on weight. No wonder her marksmanship was so outstanding after she joined the Shackelford police department.

Although her Evolution superpower hadn’t been awakened then, it was still a little useful.

The special energy which the dog head had eaten during the initial symbiosis should be energy from this Evolution ability.

It was just that the ability had still been lying dormant at that time, so even the system panel didn’t acknowledge it. Only the gluttonous dog head had ‘licked’ it a little during the symbiosis.

But… why was it Intermediate? That was the biggest puzzle for Luke.

While it wasn’t absolutely unprecedented to awaken an Intermediate-level ability, Luke had indeed seen very few.

This was a ranking which the system itself assigned.

For example, the abilities of people like Rhodes, Sam, Natasha and Bucky were mostly ‘Basic’ and ‘Elementary’ in the system.

Even Steve, who had outstanding talent and had used the super soldier serum and experienced many battles, was only at the ‘Intermediate’ level.

Thor had swung his hammer for thousands of years and killed countless powerful enemies before he finally cultivated Advanced proficiency with his hammer.

From this, it could be seen that if you wanted to skip levels, it really depended on the heavens smiling down on you.

For example, the Hulk’s endless rage was a ‘bug’-level talent that didn’t follow basic rules.

Or like Skye, whose superpower was judged as Intermediate in the system only after it reached maturity in one step thanks to Hive.

Selina’s ability was at the Intermediate level as soon as it was awakened, which was at least one in a million chance among superhumans – this was absolutely d*mn good luck.

All these thoughts flashed through Luke’s mind in just a few seconds.

Then, he decisively clicked on Selina’s Evolution ability.

It had a ‘(partially available)’ tag, so Luke naturally wouldn’t let that go.

In an instant, Knight and Big Dipper felt the Intermediate Self-Healing, Light of Life, Chi Refining Technique, Muscle Enhancement, and other abilities contained in the cells in their bodies being quickly ‘connected’ and combined into a vast power.

Their bodies, which had been hovering around 30 to 40% of functionality, recovered at a visible rate, and the rising temperature couldn’t stop them at all.

What delighted Luke even more was that there was also a significant upgrade to his brain; his Mental Strength directly increased by 1 point, but didn’t stop there.

It had to be pointed out that his Mental Strength had already passed the 140 threshold, and leveling up now required astronomical experience points.

Thus, apart from leveling up, every extra stat point he could gain was precious. Otherwise, how long would it take for his stats to reach 160?

However, the poor man’s version of the ability that Luke had learned was different from Selina’s original version. His new ability could only be described as ‘magical,’ and was nowhere near as miraculous as Selina’s.

The two of them had different expectations when it came to obtaining superpowers.

As an impassive collector of superpowers, it was now very hard for Luke to go wild with joy over obtaining an ability, no matter how ‘magical’ it was.

Thus, after the four of them were pushed out of the center of the explosion, Luke’s mind basically returned to normal.

Thanos wasn’t dead yet, and his whereabouts were unknown.

He had even been willing to destroy his mega warship; who the hell knew what this guy was up to? As Luke pondered, he didn’t know that it was his team’s ambush that had accidentally triggered the self-destruct mechanism.

In fact, no matter how rich Thanos was, he wasn’t extravagant enough to blow up a mega warship.

Moreover, more than ten of Earth’s battleships had survived the explosion just now, and Thanos’s army, whose battleships had been completely destroyed, collapsed.

Apart from brainless living weapons like the four-armed monsters, the rest of the ground troops had already stopped attacking and switched to defense.

Even Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight couldn’t do anything about the situation.

When Thanos’s warship was besieged, the self-destruct mechanism was activated, and the warship took down more than 20 of Earth’s battleships with it.

No matter how they looked at it, it looked like Thanos was at the end of his rope.

The couple had also heard Ebony Maw’s call for backup, in which he mentioned that a team of superhumans from Earth had snuck onto Thanos’s warship, and that both parties were fighting.

Then… nothing.

Following Ebony Maw’s urgent request for backup, there was no other movement.

Thanos’s warship had blown up, and they lost contact with him.

Even though the couple had faith in Thanos, they felt that things didn’t look good.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Thanos’s whereabouts were unclear, Corvus Glaive would probably have already fled with his wife.

He wasn’t like Ebony Maw, that single-minded servant.

Thanos’s death had pros and cons for Corvus Glaive.

He lost the protection of a powerful leader, but at the same time, he also lost his archenemy.

Corvus Glaive had enough strength of his own, and could leave with his wife.

After they ran, they just needed to keep a low profile for a while, and it wouldn’t be hard for the couple to slowly get back on their feet.

At that time, he and his wife wouldn’t be anyone else’s four generals, but leaders of a new force.

Deep in his heart, Corvus Glaive already had an idea.

He had always felt that Thanos’s method of culling half a population and leaving behind a bunch of enemies with an irreconcilable grudge was flawed – it was as if Thanos never thought that he would be attacked one day.

In the end, Thor, a new ax god, returned from the heavens today to make a huge mess.

If it were Corvus Glaive, he would definitely have killed the two Asgardian brothers last time, instead of killing one and letting the other live. Then, there would be no ax god!
