Chapter 804 - 804: Iron War God and Space Walker
"It's not that I don't want to catch him, the guy's too slippery, I just can't get hold of him." Song Jing was also frustrated, it was the first time he'd encountered such a person.Xu Lan, hearing this, also glanced up and down at Wang Linchi. The man looked unremarkable, even too weak to lift anything, and, importantly, Xu had never seen him before.
"New here? Could he also be an SSS-level criminal." Xu Lan didn't underestimate Wang Linchi at all; anyone who could be locked up here was no simple character.
"I'm not sure. They didn't even tell me what crime I committed." Wang Linchi sighed, feeling this was an undeserved calamity.
Upon hearing this, Song Jing and Xu Lan's eyes narrowed. They were SSS-level metahumans and yet hadn't been informed about this prisoner's details, which meant they were being kept in the dark.
"But it's okay, a cornered rabbit will bite, and so will I." As Wang Linchi said this, the psychologist's body began to swell, large amounts of water vapor seeping from inside, making him look like a balloon about to burst.
The two couldn't worry too much and immediately prepared to act.
Song Jing tried to drag Wang Linchi away, but as soon as he got close, the protective layer surrounding him shattered, and he plunged towards Wang Linchi, who easily pierced his eyes with his fingers, inserting directly into the brain.
"Ah!!!"
In agonizing pain, the person instinctively struggled backward, two eyeballs embedding with part of the optic nerve into Wang Linchi's fingers, visible even with a portion of the brain.
Xu Lan shivered, the change happening too fast, as if Song Jing had rushed into Wang Linchi's hands, injuring himself gravely.
Blood splattered everywhere, the scene a dire mess.
Xu Lan couldn't care more, immediately activating his Steel War God superpower, which let him transform into War God mode, continually strengthening by absorbing steel.
In an instant, he turned into a humanoid creature armored entirely, holding a giant shield in his left hand and a steel spear in his right.
His body swelled about three times, charging towards Wang Linchi without hesitation.
Transformed into an Iron War God, the ability not only resists blunt and sharp damages but also grants formidable mental and physical steel protection, leaving almost no weak points.
If it had a drawback, it was the agility of the Steel War God, focused on constitution and strength.
Wang Linchi, seeing Xu Lan charging like a giant tank, showed no fear, not even attempting to dodge.
The balloon-like psychologist burst suddenly, dry flesh and bone fragments detonating, Xu Lan instinctively raising his shield in defense.
The explosion wasn't powerful, but Xu Lan felt uneasy, for Wang Linchi detonated a person; though he was a metahuman, he was still human, not some transcendent being.
Looking up again, Wang Linchi held a crystal skull in his left hand, its origin self-evident.
"Still interested, steel youth?" Wang Linchi asked with a smile.
Xu Lan suddenly felt Wang Linchi's smile bring a fatal familiarity, seeming like a childhood friend, a comrade in arms to him.
"Charm ability? Too bad you underestimated my will." Xu Lan quickly sensed something wrong, but thankfully, the Steel War God wasn't just physical transformation, incorporating mental strength too.
All spiritual power effects reduced to ten percent, relying on his will for exemption.
Otherwise, how could the Steel War God be rated as SSS-level superpower?
"Not charm, just a little modification."
"Oh, so your superpower's called Steel War God." Wang Linchi, holding the crystal skull, greatly enhanced his transcendent charm and spiritual power, forming a qualitative change.
"Let's see your development."
Wang Linchi chuckled.
During Xu Lan's charge, strange thoughts like steel resonated in his mind.
"Truly, your willpower is impressive, I fall short." Wang Linchi admitted.
"But your superpower seems to have some small issues."
"Ah, ancestral superpower, reverting to ancestors, indeed powerful." Wang Linchi's words made Xu Lan notice something amiss.
"What... do you want to do..." Xu Lan asked arduously.
"Nothing much, just looking to assist your superpower a bit." As Wang Linchi said this, he suddenly stepped back.
The spot he stood cracked invisibly.
"Spatial ability?" Wang Linchi squinted, expecting a stronger one.
A middle-aged man walked out with a grim expression, seemingly using a spatial ability.
"Director, be careful, this kid's weird." Xu Lan endured discomfort.
Changsun Shi frowned, hurried upon sensing trouble, seeing Song Jing on the ground, eyes gouged, and Xu Lan half-kneeling, transformed but seemingly suppressed.
Yet it shouldn't be Wang Linchi, who had just stepped back; if it was him, he'd be free now.
"Director? Ah! It was you chatting with me before." Wang Linchi looked at the man, realizing through Xu Lan's memories that he was Changsun Shi with SSS-level superpower Space Walker.
At first, Wang Linchi thought an ability user with Space Cutting had arrived.
"Return to the iron prison, or don't blame me for being ruthless." Changsun Shi didn't expect a mistake led two Strategy Bureau's SSS-level powers to lose combat ability, if not for his timely arrival, the opponent might already have escaped.
"I can go back, but why must I?" Wang Linchi asked, all while analyzing their superpowers.
His head smoked from overload.
"Obstructing law enforcement, assaulting officers, damaging public property, isn't that enough?" Changsun Shi wanted a peaceful resolution, Wang Linchi's actions too bizarre.
Afraid of ending up like Song Jing and Xu Lan should he act.
"No way, just these charges, and I'm detained?"
"How about giving me grander charges, like war crimes, massacres?" Wang Linchi mocked.
Though asking for reasons, going back wasn't his plan; he'd found a way out, how could he simply return?
"Then don't blame me for being unkind." Changsun Shi's eyes flashed cold light, his grandson unable to come, or else handling would be smoother.
Unwilling to approach Wang Linchi, yet capable of moving him back to the prison.
Space Walker allowed him to wield space, contributing partly to Changsun Zhong's spacetime adaptors.
Wang Linchi sensed spatial fluctuations, revealing a smile.
"Thanks." Wang Linchi sincerely said.
Using Changsun Shi's spatial move, his Mental Interference enveloped him in a spatial bubble, albeit inferior to Song Jing's, a low-tier version.
Changsun Shi noticed Wang Linchi's spatial layer, alarmed that he was used, attempting to cancel the spatial move.
But with a spatial bubble, interference failed.
Though lacking the power for spatial manipulation, with aid, he met his needs.
Exiting would require force; transmission costly avoid opponents.
"Till next time." Wang Linchi finished, Space Bubble coupled with Changsun Shi's move, initiating a space leap.
Upon departure, a space slash cut Wang Linchi's path.
Tracing the slash source, it was a young man, complexion dark, eyeing Wang Linchi.
Not just failing to kill Wang Linchi, but letting him escape via space leap, unable to stop him leaving Strategy Bureau smoothly.
