New Gods of North America

The explosion of that extraordinary knowledge in my mind seemed to take only a moment.

But it seemed to take Wayne a long time to regain consciousness.

It's a wonderful feeling.

It's a bit like when a person blacks out after drinking. At first, they wake up initially, but their consciousness is still hazy and their body is almost unable to move.

Then his consciousness gradually cleared the fog, his body gradually recovered, and at this time, the whole person seemed to have really "come back".

Memories and perceptions gradually became clearer in the process, and even some of them were added, as if they had existed in his mind from the beginning, just like Wayne still remembered what he had eaten last night and how full he was.

The first thing Wayne felt was that his body seemed to have a new sense of perception.

This perception is not so accurate. Wayne feels that it seems to be similar to the so-called "hunger feeling". He can roughly feel that he is "very hungry", "okay", "full but still able to eat" and "completely full".

Wayne suddenly had an epiphany.

Its function is to remind oneself how much available spiritual power is in one's body at this moment.

For example, now, Wayne feels that his spiritual power is very abundant.

"Very full" and a little bloated, even making you want to take a walk to aid digestion.

Then Wayne discovered that he now had three abilities:

The first is the self-healing ability he has possessed from the beginning.

It turned out that his body was not truly "immortal". This self-healing ability was almost passive and consumed the spiritual power stored in Wayne's body.

In other words, if the instantaneous damage to his body was great enough, or if his spiritual power was completely consumed, he would probably actually die.

Wayne can now consciously slow down or temporarily stop the process of healing, but he cannot speed up the healing process.

But fortunately, its current healing speed is fast enough in Wayne's opinion.

The second is the invisible "eye" that Wayne can be aware of.

What it currently brings to Wayne is a vision composed of minimalist lines.

Wayne is now able to control its opening freely without closing his eyes.

But Wayne could vaguely feel that as his abilities continued to improve, he would be able to see more than just these simple lines.

And it also has another function, that is, when Wayne comes into close contact with spiritual power that is not controlled by other consciousnesses, it can help Wayne absorb and digest those spiritual powers and turn them into Wayne's own power.

As for the third ability.

Wayne tried to put his fingers on the plate on the desk, and at the same time, transmitted his spiritual power through his fingertips to the place where his fingertips touched.

When he felt it was almost time, Wayne took his fingers away and counted down in his mind based on his feeling.

three.

two.

one.

“Bang!”

The part of the plate that Wayne had touched exploded instantly, and the other parts of the plate were also shattered into pieces by the impact of the explosion, with fragments flying everywhere.

This explosion didn't look very spectacular in reality, and there wasn't even a hint of fire.

But in Wayne's other vision, he could see that at a certain moment, the "lines" there became violently turbulent.

The lines seemed to be compressed and stretched to the extreme by an invisible force, and then suddenly exploded.

This "explosion" based on spiritual power seems to be able to cause harm to other extraordinary intangible beings.

A time bomb...

Wayne felt that this ability was a bit "average".

The exercise of this ability requires an "entity" to carry one's spiritual power.

The more spiritual power is injected, the greater its power will be. However, its detonation time must be determined when the "installation is completed". The longest detonation time that can be set currently seems to be no more than five minutes.

And you will also be "injured" by it.

Wayne could even feel that if he used all his spiritual power to make a "bomb", then this bomb would seem to be able to kill himself even if he was in full condition...

There isn't even a function to protect teammates from damage.

Bad review.

But Wayne still told himself to be optimistic.

I have just started, and this might be what the extraordinary world version of cultivating immortals is like.

Look, even a veteran driver like Lina from the Extraordinary Realm was tormented by a swarm of bugs today.

At least I can try to make explosive bullets. If that "Gray Wolf" Freddy dares to emit black energy again, I can use my gun to blow it to pieces.

Maybe those bugs can all be fried into meat paste today.

Wayne thought so, and then obediently went to get the broom.

Being a good person is troublesome. I have never seen a super villain who has to clean the house.

…

"What?! Dr. John is missing?"

Before dinner, Wayne suddenly received a report from the townspeople.

The person who reported the case was a coachman who had been employed by Dr. John for a long time.

According to him, he had been on a medical visit with Dr. John, and when they arrived in the next town, because the patient requested confidentiality, Dr. John went to the patient's home with his medical box.

He lived alone in a tavern in the next town.

After Dr. John returned yesterday, he brought Dr. John back to Blackstone Town from the neighboring town.

But to this day, Dr. John is still not at home and the clinic is no longer open.

Dr. John's neighbors and some shop owners near the clinic said that they had not seen Dr. John since they had dinner together at the mayor's house.

It seemed that everyone thought that the coachman was the last person to see Dr. John.

And now Dr. John suddenly disappeared and his life or death is unknown.

Seeing that everyone was becoming more and more suspicious of him, the coachman took the initiative to report the case to avoid being charged with crimes such as murder and robbery.

Wayne lowered his head and took notes in his notebook. He looked up only after he finished speaking:

"Do you have anything else to add?"

The coachman thought for a moment and said, "I took Dr. John to the vicinity of his clinic yesterday. Although everyone I asked now said that they didn't see him yesterday, there may be other people who have seen him. As long as I can find a credible witness, I can prove my innocence."

Wayne nodded to show that he understood. "I will investigate. But during the investigation, please do not leave the town, otherwise we will treat you as a fugitive."

After seeing off the somewhat anxious coachman, Wayne briefly recalled what had happened in the past few days:

He and Inesa first discovered that among the people who had dinner at the mayor's house a few days ago, there might be Beyonders who had hidden their identities;

Then he received news that some criminals were gathering to rob the town bank, and judging from the criminals' presence in the valley over the past two days, the news was confirmed to be true;

Then today, he and the two ladies encountered a very powerful "monster" in the valley. The monster even knew his name. According to the appraisal of the two experts, it has been confirmed that it was done by a Beyonder.

Could it be that the criminals' attack on the town was also part of the so-called "bloody sacrifice"?

And could the person who was making trouble in the valley be the one who had dinner at the mayor's house before?

When Wayne thought of this, he stood up and wanted to ask Inissa to confirm the situation.
