Chapter 594
However...
Su Quan lowered his head and glanced at his arm, which was partially petrified.
The upper limit of the ability had weakened, but it was by no means irreversible.
In other words, he could transform freely between his human form and his Thing form, and could even perform partial transformations.
Uh...
Benjamin's fate had been completely altered.
In the movie, he became the ugly Thing, and his fiancée even broke up with him.
Now, hehehe, he was likely to be even more popular than Reed.
Benjamin braced his hands against the ground; his hard, sturdy stone body made the act of rising somewhat difficult, and he couldn't help but gasp in pain.
Even after becoming 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, drop 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 defensive field instantly caught him, bouncing him toward Reed, who was to the side.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Invisibility (Invisible Woman)"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop 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, extinguished the flames on his body, and stood up.
"Pfft—"
Seeing Reed, whose hair was singed and curled, Jonathan felt his back and legs stop aching. He couldn't help but laugh a few times, apologizing as he pulled him up.
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 with an exaggerated shout.
"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 he doesn't know.
Benjamin looked at his four-fingered hand and silently transformed back into his human form.
"You have each obtained your abilities; you can practice on your own from here on."
Su Quan summarized, sent Reed and Benjamin back to the Void, and then left the pocket universe with the others.
After obtaining superpowers, the flamboyant and restless Jonathan could no longer contain himself. His sister Susan's warnings went in one ear and out the other. As soon as Su Quan said he could go, he transformed into the Human Torch and flew out the window.
"If someone finds 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, obtaining superpowers might cause trouble, because he would become a tireless superman whom anyone could point fingers at.
The Human Torch, Jonathan?
It was already a sign of his good nature and kindness that he hadn't become Homelander.
Cause trouble?
Heh, it's hard to say who would be bringing trouble to whom; he wasn't the type to take a beating without fighting back or swallow insults!
The solar flare event was over, so the company established to observe the solar flares 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 Detection Range for observing combat had reached 1, 00 kilometers without him noticing.
Note, that's kilometers, not meters!
Once upon a time, the detection Detection Range for observing combat was only a few hundred or a few thousand meters, and he had to be careful to keep his distance while farming points in the zombie universe.
Decades had passed, and while his strength had increased, the points that had been ignored in the display had accumulated over time, expanding the detection Detection Range to 1, 00 kilometers.
What did this Detection Range mean?
If Su Quan was in the capital and someone was fighting in Shanghai, he could still receive rewards.
Furthermore, the diameter from the capital to New York was only about 11, 00 kilometers.
The current detection Detection Range was already one-tenth the distance from the capital to New York; if he remembered correctly, the Earth's diameter was only 12, 42 kilometers.
In other words, don't underestimate the current detection Detection Range of 1, 00 kilometers; in terms of diameter, Su Quan could receive rewards for combat occurring within one-tenth of the Earth.
Hmm, it wasn't far from encompassing the entire Earth; the road is long and winding, I shall search high and low.
Compared to the system's combat detection Detection Range, Su Quan's telepathic Detection Range was much larger.
In a single thought, the ends of the earth are within reach!
After devouring the solar flare, Su Quan's 'appetite' had been piqued.
Small skirmishes were meaningless; to have a full meal, he had to eat a feast!
Wait like a rabbit for a tree stump, waiting for the feast to jump into his bowl?
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 strives for himself!
This had always been his character and the principle he believed in!
"Hum!"
The Detection Range of his telepathic perception expanded instantly, rushing out of Earth and into the universe...
A moment later, in the vast, boundless universe, Su Quan felt a force rushing toward Earth at the speed of light.
At this speed, it would arrive at Earth in a few months!
"The cosmic energy on this guy is quite rich; if nothing goes wrong, this should be the Silver Surfer, right?"
Su Quan had forgotten how long the interval was between the plots of Fantastic Four 1 and Fantastic Four 2, but judging by the continuity of the plot, it shouldn't be too long.
So this guy heading toward Earth was nine times out of ten definitely the Silver Surfer.
The Silver Surfer had already arrived; could Galactus be far behind?
The corners of Su Quan's mouth lifted slightly, and his psychic power flowed directly into the Silver Surfer's mind.
"Hum!"
The surging, powerful psychic force invaded without warning, causing the Silver Surfer, who was flying rapidly on his surfboard, to instantly stall and stop abruptly.
"Who!"
"Who is invading my consciousness!"
The silver-bodied Silver Surfer stood on his hovering surfboard, his previously expressionless face instantly revealing shock and gravity.
The cosmic energy within his body had intercepted and resisted at the very first moment of the psychic invasion.
However, the opponent's psychic ability was very strong; it was the first time he had encountered a psychic force he couldn't resist.
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, it is best to leave my consciousness immediately."
"This is a warning!"
