"The third template, what will it be?"
David's eyes burned with anticipation and anxiety.
[Loading the third template...]
[Loading 3%... 20%...]
After a few seconds, in the midst of excitement, David's head buzzed, he shook it, and suddenly, a strange force surrounded him, and he looked around, his gaze fixed on the void.
Something he had never perceived before, something vast and invisible and ever-present, opened its doors to him.
Unknown insects chirped, and green wilderness covered with wild grass stretched out.
David looked down, and his fingers moved slightly.
Several stones on the ground seemed to be grabbed by an invisible force and floated into the air.
Whoosh!
David's eyes shifted.
The stones shot out like sniper bullets, piercing through trees dozens of meters away.
With another movement, and the hundreds of pounds of the backpack on his back fell to the ground.
"And that's not all..."
He closed his eyes to sense it more keenly, and the feeling became clearer.
There was a boundless and vast field enveloping this planet.
David felt like an ant suddenly touching a vast ocean, and the best part was that he could borrow and control the power of this ocean.
Buzz!
He suddenly opened his eyes, and the flowing air seemed to be under heavy pressure, with the air pressure increasing sharply.
Crack! Crack!
The swaying wild grass was suddenly flattened to the ground by the wind, insects emitted a mournful cry before their voices disappeared, tree branches broke and fell to the ground, and an invisible force covered the area for miles around.
Whoosh!
At the same time, his feet left the ground, and David stretched his body as if ascending to heaven.
The stones on the ground floated like a ring of stars around a celestial body, rising with him. The sunlight added a golden glow to his Greek sculpture-like face, subtly adding a touch of divinity.
In the sky.
David, now with the ability to fly, opened his eyes in amazement. He looked down at the shrinking wilderness below, feeling heroic and free, as if the world was at his disposal.
"Flying freely in the sky like a bird has always been a dream of mankind since ancient times."
And now, he had achieved it. He had conquered the sky and escaped the clutches of gravity.
"More accurately, I manipulated gravity!"
He clenched his fist fiercely as if he were holding an invisible world in his hand, and his eyes radiated a strong brilliance.
The abilities of the new template were already obvious. The ubiquitous and filling every corner of the planet, but often overlooked by people - gravity.
[Graviton template loading complete, 30% fused]
"Graviton?"
David raised an eyebrow, searching his memory, and finally remembered who this person with a nickname similar to Magneto was.
He and Magneto were very similar. One primarily controlled magnetism, with a bit of electromagnetism, while the other primarily controlled gravity, with a bit of universal gravitation.
'Graviton, originally named Franklin Hall, was a physicist who gained the ability to control gravity in an accident involving a particle accelerator experiment and later became one of the Avengers' formidable enemies.'
He flipped through the relevant information and background of Graviton in his mind.
Both being members of the same generation, his power was no weaker than Magneto's, and in some cases, even stronger under normal circumstances.
'He has defeated the Avengers on multiple occasions, and even once defeated the entire Earth's heroes, including the Hulk, Thor, and the Scarlet Witch. The reasons for his failures were often due to a poor mind, instability, either self-abandonment of his goals or being manipulated by others to be defeated.'
It was a case of software dragging down the hardware.
But he didn't have that weakness.
Familiar with his newly acquired power, David beckoned with his finger, and the backpack on the ground flew over to him.
Then, he extended his hand and aimed it at a mountain peak several miles away, which was eight to nine hundred meters high.
Baa! Baa!
At the foot of the mountain, an elderly shepherd with a cross necklace around his neck and a white hat on his head was herding goats. He waved his whip, and the goats jumped around in the crevices of the rocks, nibbling on the grass.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the mountain shook, and the rocks rolled, and the entire mountain peak trembled.
"An earthquake?"
The shepherd was in a panic, looking up at the mountain.
The next second, his jaw dropped in shock as he witnessed a scene he would never forget.
It was as if an invisible giant hand had grabbed the mountain peak. The part of the mountain that touched the ground was torn, and the entire mountain peak was lifted from the ground and into the air.
The frightened goats bleated and fled.
The shepherd stood there in shock, stunned by the overwhelming sight.
"God, what am I seeing?"
He rubbed his eyes, but the scene before him remained unchanged. The mountain peak had been lifted and was suspended several tens of meters above the ground.
"Is this... is this real?" As if struck by lightning, the shepherd was stiff and overwhelmed. HE felt as if he had seen a miracle. He felt tiny like an ant in the face of that magnificent power and began to pray, calling out to God and kneeling on the ground.
"A bit taxing."
After about ten seconds, David manipulated the gravitational field to return the mountain peak to its original position and looked at his palm.
The power to lift mountains was about the limit of his current manipulation abilities.
Lost in the immense power he had just obtained, David was unaware that there was a shepherd below, who, seeing the mountain peak return to its place, believed it was God playing a joke on him.
'Reshaping lunar ring mountains and lifting islands and cities into the sky like the Graviton in the comics will require a higher level of fusion.'
But this newfound power had still greatly boosted his abilities. He could now move mountains and change landscapes with a wave of his hand.
He couldn't hide the excitement on his face as he made comparisons.
With just a bit difference of in manipulating fundamental forces between Graviton and Magneto, it was easy for people to draw comparisons.
'Compared to Magneto's powers, there's no doubt that gravity is more versatile, easily controlling everything in the world, not just limited to metals, and easier to control.'
As for the limits of these two abilities, both were one of the four fundamental forces of the universe, with electromagnetism being stronger than universal gravitation.
David believed that what you couldn't touch and what you couldn't achieve were essentially the same.
'Regarding gravity manipulation, there are some additional abilities.
Such as bending light to see distant objects, sensing things across the ocean through gravity fields, nullifying gravity for all things, creating gravitational fields to attract all things to each other, creating gravity field shields, causing earthquakes, and launching gravity beam projectiles...'
There were too many extended abilities, and some of them related to universal gravitation were beyond his current capabilities.
But at the most basic level, within the range of gravity, he could manipulate everything almost like a god.
"The planet beneath my feet is my weapon!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of sonic booms rang out, like white gaseous plates being pierced, creating continuous sonic clouds in the sky that lingered.
David manipulated the Earth's gravity, his eyes shining, and he flew through the clouds, freely cruising in the high sky.
Ten times the speed of sound, fifty times the speed of sound... one hundred times the speed of sound, two hundred times the speed of sound!
In just a dozen seconds, David accelerated to two hundred times the speed of sound and reached the limit of his speed. The gravitational field surrounded him and protected his clothes.
David couldn't help but burst into laughter, streaking across the sky like a meteor.
"I was originally worried about reaching the depths of the ocean, where mobility would be limited.
Every movement would be subject to deep-sea pressure, and attacks would face the resistance of seawater, significantly reducing my strength."
He thought of Atlantis, where he was headed.
"But now—everything is no longer a problem!"
