Chapter 31: Worried Gwen, Dark Internet
January tenth, Saturday!
It has been a week since Roddy signed in and obtained Sebastian Shaw's Energy Absorption Ability.
In the past week, Roddy has signed in seven more times.
In the end, he was really right. The Ability that he signed to that day really used up a lot of his luck.
Because in the seven follow-up sign-ins, without exception, Roddy only obtained the most trashy Epsilon-level Mutant Ability.
Of course, Roddy won't keep these rubbish abilities.
So all of them were decomposed by him, except that one of the proficiency obtained after the decomposition was assigned to the teleportation ability, which raised its development level to level 3.
The decomposed proficiency of the other six abilities was all assigned to the Energy Absorption Ability by Roddy.
Now Roddy also has two Mutant Abilities whose development level has reached level 3.
Teleportation and Energy Absorption!
Especially the latter.
At level 2, the upper limit of absorbed energy is equivalent to the sum of the energy of a 10 million-ton equivalent nuclear weapon explosion. After upgrading to level 3, this upper limit has increased tenfold!
Roddy thought before, would something happen that would cause him to exceed the upper limit of a his energy absorption?
After all, the energy stored in his body had reached 95% of his absorption limit at that time!
And the energy used daily is simply negligible.
Compared to such a huge amount of energy, it is completely negligible.
But if Roddy encounters any powerful enemy, the enemy will directly come up to him and give him a ruthless blow. If he exceeds the upper limit of his energy, it will be terrible!
This is probably why, Sebastian Shaw never kept too much energy in his body.
Obviously to avoid that from happening.
But now Roddy can rest easy!
The upper limit of energy has been increased by ten times, and the accumulated energy of 95% has suddenly dropped to 9.5%!
If someone wanted his energy to exceed the upper limit, so that he would self-explode and hurt himself, how powerful would that be?
After all, the 90.5% remaining energy gap is fully equivalent to the energy produced by a 90.5 million-ton equivalent nuclear weapon explosion.
What kind of existence can burst out such a powerful energy with one blow?
Not even Captain Marvel could do it!
Even if Odin is holding Gungnir, he can't reach this magnitude with a single blow, right?
Unless it's bombarding Roddy with Bifrost energy.
That's what makes it possible.
But Roddy hasn't provoked the god king of Asgard.
Odin would have to be crazy to use Bifrost, a destructive weapon, against Roddy.
Therefore, Roddy can then safely and boldly retain this huge energy in his body.
There is no need to find an opportunity to release it.
....
The sound of splashing water sounded.
In the open-air swimming pool, Roddy came out of the water.
He wiped off the water on his body, then turned and lay down on a recliner.
While basking in the sun, while swiping the phone.
At this time--
A figure suddenly flew over from a distance, and landed steadily on the terrace.
"Hi~! I just passed by here."
Gwen, who was wearing a Spider battlesuit, said hello to Roddy.
"I welcome you here anytime."
Roddy said with a smile.
"Would you like some water?"
Hearing this, Gwen laughed and said, "Hot water again?"
"Definitely! Drinking more hot water is good for your health."
Roddy said, turned and went into the house.
When he came out, he already had a cup of steaming hot water in his hand.
"Here."
Roddy handed the cup to Gwen.
"Thanks."
Gwen said thank you politely, then took the cup, turned around and sat directly on the railing at the edge of the terrace.
"It seems that you are not afraid of heights."
Roddy stood aside and said.
"I kind of like high places."
Gwen laughed, taking a sip of water as she lifted half of her mask.
"I've never drank hot water before. It's quite special to feel the hot water slowly flowing into my stomach after drinking it." Gwen said.
"What's on your mind?" Roddy asked her.
Gwen obviously wouldn't come to him if there was nothing else to do.
Moreover, Roddy could see that although Gwen kept laughing, she seemed a little depressed.
"Did you see it?"
Gwen didn't hide it, she nodded and said, "I do have something on my mind, have you seen the discussions about me on social media recently?"
"I usually don't like surfing the Internet very much."
Roddy spread his hands and said.
Hearing this, Gwen's newly brewing emotions collapsed in an instant.
Not very online?
Are you serious?
Gwen glanced at the screen of Roddy's phone on the recliner, which still displayed the Facebook interface.
"Well, I actually saw it."
Roddy smiled and said he was just joking.
"So you're worried about what those people on the Internet say about you?" Gwen nodded.
To be honest, when Gwen first obtained this super ability, she never thought about using it for anything.
She is just an ordinary little girl who yearns for a happy life. She usually likes to play in bands. Her biggest dream is to go on a tour across the country in the future.
As for becoming a superhero or something. She hadn't even thought about it before!
But when she couldn't help using her Ability to help those in need for the first time, Gwen found that she quite liked that feeling.
Especially when she saw the grateful expressions of the people she helped.
She even felt that the whole world became much brighter!
However, the superhero's life is not so rosy.
Some people thank them, and naturally some people hate them, and even maliciously slander them!
Gwen also persuaded herself at the beginning not to care about these external remarks.
But when she came into the eyes of more and more people, the overwhelming negative comments directly crushed Gwen's little heart.
She began to doubt herself, and hesitate whether she should continue to be a superhero!
