125: Chapter 125 Joining Forces?

"Why? Aren't you a hero affiliated with the Hero Association?" Chen Moxuan demanded.

"No, no, no. In fact, I wish an organization like the Hero Association would vanish from the world." Upon hearing this, Rewinder slowly shook his head.

"However, before I explain my purpose, I want to ask you a few questions first."

"Is your Special Ability of the Replication Type or the Plunder Type?"

Within the system of the Dazhou Nation, several Transcendents capable of possessing multiple Special Abilities have appeared one after another.

But the nature of a Transcendent dictates that they can only possess one Special Ability.

Therefore, for these Transcendents who possess multiple Special Abilities, the secret of their nature lies within the Special Ability itself.

Based on their characteristics, they are further divided into the Replication Type and the Plunder Type.

The difference between the Replication Type and the Plunder Type lies in whether the source of the Special Ability is allowed to exist while possessing this ability.

For example, the second-ranked A-Rank Hero of the G District Hero Association, Stitcher, belongs to the Replication Type.

As for the Plunder Type, it is much less well-received.

For instance, twenty years ago in the neighboring H District, there was a Transcendent whose Special Ability belonged to the Plunder Type.

As long as they ate the other person's hair, they could choose to use the other person's Special Ability once at any time, with the effect lasting for a whole day.

And during that entire day, the Transcendent serving as the source material for the Special Ability, aside from retaining their formidable physical constitution, was no different from an ordinary person.

Therefore, that Plunder Type Transcendent was jointly accused by multiple Transcendents, who demanded that he report before using his Special Ability.

Afterward, he was even sent to the border region of the Alien Wasteland, and there has been no news of him since.

Judging from the fact that Chen Moxuan only obtained the other party's Special Ability after killing the Explosive Flame King, it is highly likely that he also belongs to the Plunder Type.

Rewinder guessed that this was likely the reason why the other party had not gone for Transcendent certification.

"Being able to avoid tracking marks is also an effect caused by one of the Special Abilities you possess, right?"

Seeing Chen Moxuan remain silent and meet him with a cold gaze, Rewinder hovered high in the air and continued speaking to himself:

"It's understandable that you are wary of me; no Transcendent would tolerate their own Special Ability potentially being plundered. The Plunder Type is just that unpopular."

"To show my sincerity, I will demonstrate my own Special Ability to you without reservation."

Before the words had even faded, he suddenly curled his fingers and clenched the air.

"Within the range of my Special Ability, I can freely manipulate the movement trajectory of all non-living objects in motion for up to five minutes."

"As long as one is in the air, the body will compress and disperse the surrounding air."

"And I can control the air that you have compressed and dispersed, forcing it to return to its original position."

Chen Moxuan suddenly felt that the airflow resistance that had previously hindered his advance had become even greater.

He wanted to move forward, but the air that had been compressed and pushed away was attempting to return to its place in a near-brutal manner, acting upon every inch of his muscles and pinning him firmly in place.

"Using the Special Ability itself doesn't require any movement; the movements are just a way to assist me in increasing my Mental Energy output."

Rewinder lifted his wrist carelessly, eyes slightly narrowed.

"Your strength is very high. If it were a non-Reinforcement Type B-Rank Transcendent, they would have already been crushed into meat paste by me by now."

"But to completely break free from my Special Ability, your strength would need to be at least twice as strong." Rewinder smiled.

Though he claimed to be demonstrating his Special Ability, he was more interested in probing Chen Moxuan's bottom line.

Anyone who was suddenly interfered with by a strong external force during a conversation would instinctively struggle to break free.

And judging from the power burst out when Chen Moxuan struggled, it was still within the controllable range of his full-output Special Ability.

"Judging from the intensity of the physical enhancement, the Reinforcement Type Special Ability he possesses should only be at the B-Rank level."

"Even if he is still hiding unused Special Abilities, as long as he cannot resist the kinetic energy generated when I reverse the trajectories, he is nothing to fear."

Reinforcement Type Special Abilities that alter the body are quite special.

Whether it is the Replication Type or the Plunder Type, multi-ability users can only use one Reinforcement Type Special Ability at the same time.

Furthermore, Special Abilities are ultimately limited by Soul strength. Chen Moxuan, who has yet to display an A-Rank Special Ability, likely only possesses a B-Rank intensity for his Plunder Type Special Ability.

Rewinder thought to himself, having already marked Chen Moxuan as an existence he could easily manipulate.

Confirming that Chen Moxuan was completely unable to move, Rewinder landed in front of Chen Moxuan, maintaining a certain distance, and slowly withdrew his Special Ability.

"If I had any hostility, I could have completely gone all out from the very beginning."

Chen Moxuan stared at the smiling Rewinder and decided to listen to what the other party had to say for the time being.

"That's right, I can indeed plunder the Special Abilities of the Transcendents I kill." Chen Moxuan said, following Rewinder's lead.

"What do you mean when you say you want the Hero Association to disappear?"

After receiving Chen Moxuan's confirmed reply, Rewinder smiled slightly and answered:

"Don't you think that the Hero Association as an organization is extremely obstructive?"

"Since Transcendents don't have to follow any national laws, why bother coming up with a Transcendent Management Law and playing some boring hero role-playing game?"

"If you ask me, Transcendents shouldn't be prohibited from killing each other."

"Weak Transcendents shouldn't exist in this world either. Killing each other? Survival of the fittest! This is clearly the fairest path of evolution!"

As Rewinder spoke, his tone became excited.

"Since you have been able to plunder so many Special Abilities, you must have seen it, right? The scene at the very moment of a Transcendent's death."

"The light orbs of power bursting from their bodies... what a brilliant sublimation of life!"

Excitement and fanaticism were revealed in Rewinder's eyes.

Looking at the other party's appearance, Chen Moxuan understood everything in his heart. The person before him was a lunatic.

"When no one was paying attention, I used my Special Ability to reverse the scattered light orbs, causing them to re-condense, and reached out to touch them."

"That feeling was truly too wonderful..."

Rewinder reached out his hand, his whole body trembling, as if recalling the feeling from that time.

"That is undoubtedly the truth of evolution! After absorbing those light orbs, my Mental Energy increased significantly, and the control range of my Special Ability also increased by nearly one-fifth!"

"You mean... your Special Ability evolved by absorbing those light orbs?" Chen Moxuan said with a grave expression.

When he used his Spiritual Sense to restrain the spiritual power orbs, he did not discover any properties within them that could increase Mental Energy or cause a Special Ability to evolve.

However, his method was to use Spiritual Sense to gather the spiritual power orbs back together before they could escape.

Perhaps... only by having the spiritual power orbs gathered back along their scattered trajectories under the effect of Rewinder's Special Ability could that property be preserved.

"As long as I am the one to restrain the target, and you, who are not affected by tracking marks, are the one to strike."

"You can plunder more Special Abilities, and both you and I can achieve further evolution by absorbing the light orbs."

"Of course, as allies, we will split the light orbs fifty-fifty."

Rewinder said, almost frantically.

"If you and I join forces, it won't take long before—let alone the Hero Association—even the Superpower Association won't matter. We will overthrow them all and create a brand new world."

"And the Continental Carnival two days from now is the perfect opportunity!"
