Chapter 1090

~7 min read 1,230 words

Benjamin braced his hands on the ground; his hard, sturdy stone body made the act of getting up somewhat difficult, and he couldn't help but gasp a few times.

Even after turning into the Thing and gaining super-strong resistance to impact, Su Quan's casual strike was still not something he could easily withstand!

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, dropped reward: High-Temperature Flame (Human Torch)"

In the sky, Jonathan, who had transformed into the Human Torch, was struck by the flames thrown by Frankie Raye and fell down.

Just as he was about to hit the ground, Susan spread her hands, and a transparent force field instantly caught him, bouncing him toward Reed, who was to the side.

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, dropped reward: Invisibility (Invisible Woman)"

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, dropped reward: Size Manipulation (Mr. Fantastic)"

The sounds of dropped rewards rang out one after another. Jonathan, who had crashed into Reed, let out a few miserable cries of "ouch, ouch," extinguished the flames on his body, and stood up.

"Pfft—"

Looking at Reed, whose hair had been singed and curled, Jonathan's waist no longer ached and his legs no longer hurt; he couldn't help but laugh a few times, pulling him up while apologizing.

Reed was speechless.

Standing in place, disaster fell from the sky; this unprovoked calamity was truly unjust.

"Whoa, what is that!!!" Jonathan turned his head, saw the Thing walking over, and immediately retreated in an exaggerated manner, shouting.

"Kid, do you want a beating?" Benjamin raised his fist in annoyance.

The Thing: Ever seen a fist the size of a sand pot?

Human Torch: Seen it, but have you ever seen a fist with four fingers?

The Thing:...

After transforming into the Thing, Benjamin's fingers went from five to four. Don't ask why one is missing; if you ask, it's because it's enough, and if you ask again, it's because I don't know.

Benjamin looked at his four-fingered hand and silently transformed back into his human form.

"You have all obtained your abilities; you can practice on your own from here on out."

Su Quan summarized, sent Reed and Benjamin back to the Void, and then took the others and left the pocket universe.

Jonathan, with his flamboyant and restless personality, couldn't sit still after gaining superpowers. His older sister Susan's warnings went in one ear and out the other. As soon as Su Quan said he could go, he immediately transformed into the Human Torch and flew out the window.

"If people find out he has superpowers, it might cause trouble," Frankie Raye reminded Su Quan with some concern.

Su Quan smiled dismissively.

If the owner of that face were Steve Rogers, gaining superpowers might cause trouble, because he would become a Superman who works hard without complaint and whom anyone can point fingers at.

Human Torch Jonathan?

It's already keeping to his true nature and being kind-hearted that he didn't become Homelander.

Cause trouble?

Heh, who knows who will bring trouble to whom; he is not the type of character who doesn't hit back when struck or talk back when scolded!

The solar flare incident was over, so the company established to observe the solar flare no longer had a reason to exist and could be sold off for cash as soon as possible.

The military side also needed to be urged to prepare the hard currency that needed to be delivered as soon as possible.

Susan and Frankie Raye each had things to busy themselves with, and Su Quan wasn't idle either. He discovered that the system's detection range for watching battles had unknowingly reached 1,000 kilometers.

Note, that's kilometers, not meters!

Once upon a time, the detection range for watching battles was only a few hundred meters, a few thousand meters; when farming points in the zombie universe, he even had to be careful to keep his distance.

Decades have passed, and while his strength has improved, the points, which had been ignored in the display, had accumulated over time to expand the detection range to 1,000 kilometers.

What does this range mean?

If Su Quan is in the capital and someone is fighting in Shanghai, he can still obtain rewards.

Furthermore, the diameter from the capital to New York is only about 11,000 kilometers.

The current detection range is already one-tenth the distance from the capital to New York. If he remembered correctly, the diameter of the Earth is only 12,742 kilometers.

In other words, don't underestimate the current detection range of only 1,000 kilometers; from the perspective of diameter, Su Quan can obtain rewards for battles occurring within one-tenth of the Earth.

Hmm, it's not far from encompassing the entire Earth. The road is long and winding, and I shall search high and low.

Compared to the system's combat detection range, Su Quan's telepathy range is much larger.

In a single thought, the ends of the earth are within reach!

After devouring the solar flare, Su Quan's "appetite" was somewhat piqued.

Small-time stuff is meaningless; if he wants a full meal, he has to eat a big feast!

Wait for the rabbit to jump into the bowl by itself?

No!

If the mountain won't come to me, I will go to the mountain!

Instead of waiting on Earth for the Silver Surfer and Galactus to descend, why not take the initiative to find them?

What he wants—he will strive for himself!

This has always been his personality and the principle he believes in!

"Hum!"

The perception range of his telepathy expanded instantly, rushing out of the Earth and toward the universe...

A moment later, in the vast and boundless universe, Su Quan felt a force rushing toward Earth at the speed of light.

At this speed, it would arrive on Earth in a few months!

"The cosmic energy on this guy is quite rich; if nothing goes wrong, it should be the Silver Surfer, right?"

Su Quan forgot how long the interval was between the plots of Fantastic Four 1 and Fantastic Four 2, but judging from the connection of the plot, it shouldn't be too long.

So this guy coming toward Earth is nine times out of ten definitely the Silver Surfer.

The Silver Surfer has already arrived; can Galactus be far behind?

The corners of Su Quan's mouth raised slightly, and his psychic power surged directly into the Silver Surfer's mind.

"Hum!"

The surging and powerful psychic power invaded without warning, causing the Silver Surfer, who was flying rapidly on his surfboard, to stall instantly and stop abruptly.

"Who!"

"Who is invading my consciousness!"

The entirely silver Silver Surfer stood on his hovering surfboard, his originally expressionless face instantly revealing shock and solemnity.

The cosmic energy within his body had intercepted and resisted at the very first moment of the psychic invasion.

However, the opponent's psychic power was very strong; it was the first time he had encountered psychic power he could not resist himself.

He could feel the opponent peeking; no, it should be said that they were openly viewing his memories!

"Who are you!"

"Why invade my consciousness?"

The Silver Surfer tried to communicate with the opponent, but there was no response.

"I am the herald of Galactus, ordered to find energy that can be devoured, so no matter who you are, you had better leave my consciousness immediately."

"This is a warning!"

PS: Got writer's block, depressed.
