Vati was tense about this situation, even though everything was planned. This was still his second fight in the world of psychics and his first against humans, but he was also super excited at the idea of finally using his new skills in a real fight.
He takes advantage of the surprise of the two to attack the man with the brass knuckles at the throat, who seems to him to be the most dangerous.
The girl froze in front of him, he smiled at her and prepared to attack, but Julien got up and used his brass knuckles on Vati, who noticed but did not dodge.
He took the hit and was thrown back, falling to the ground, then white thorns surrounded him and immobilized him.
Vati thinks to himself, "The guy's artifact allows him to increase his body's power, and the girl's immobilizes moving targets." The faster the target, the stronger the thorns will be, up to a certain point.
Vati struggled, which inflicted even more damage and pain on him. Julien clenched his fist again, delivered a powerful blow to Vati who thought
"finally!"
Abellio: "Superhumans have the ability to harness psychic energy to gain supernatural powers, but it doesn't make them omnipotent."
To acquire their attitudes, they must first choose a theme, a subject, or an object and feed it with their will to power. The simpler and more concrete the theme, the easier it will be to control and manipulate its capacity.
Take, for example, the fire.
If someone wants to get a fire-related one
He will have to connect his psyche to this theme and imagine how fire will allow him to surpass all his human peers, so that his ability can be sustained by feeding on his will to power.
But fire is too broad and vast a theme, so he should focus on something simpler and more concrete like the flame of a lighter.
Adding constraints that test our willpower increases the power of our abilities.
For example, the user of the lighter's flames can choose to burn a part of their body with their own flames to amplify the power of their fire against their enemies.
However, the true power of a superhuman comes from their ability to obtain diverse and varied powers from a very simple theme. Let's take the example of the pyromancer: with his ability, he can amplify and control the fire produced by his lighter, but with mastery and strategies, he can also control water.
Vati: "How?"
Abellio: "What is the formula for the combustion of the reactants in a lighter?"
Vati: "I don't know, I'm stupid."
Abellio: "hmmm, it's C4H10 for butane + O2 for dioxygen which produces CO2 and H2O and so with enough time and preparation the pyromancer can attack his opponent with flames produced by his lighter, but also surprise him with a water attack produced by the combustion of his flames."
Vati: "I see, I not only have to choose a simple theme to better control it, but also connect it to vast knowledge to exploit its full potential."
Abellio: "Yes, but don't forget the self-imposed constraints that test your will, because for a superman, will is everything."
Time seemed to stand still in that parking lot. The three individuals are frozen.
Roméa no longer had the energy to contain Vati, Julien was exhausted after pounding Vati with blows, and Vati was covered in wounds and blood, but his pupils were dilated with excitement and a big smile covered his face.
He opened his mouth and said
"NAÎT"
The environment around Julien was shining, then a huge amount of psychic energy concentrated at his position and a great explosion occurred.
Vagissement is the ability I created. After some reflection, I focused on the power of constraints to make up for my lack of experience compared to other superhumans like Abellio.
It's a simple ability, I can only use it once a day and I have to accumulate suffering for the activity, but in exchange, it's an inevitable attack for whoever I target regardless of the distance and it's powerful enough to destroy everything near the target.
Stumbling, Vati approached Julien, who was unconscious on the ground.
He pulled a knife out of his pocket, Roméa stepped in and tried to hit him, but he easily managed to defeat her with his martial arts when suddenly Julien's fist appeared in front of him and fell to the ground face down.
Julien: *vomits blood* "Roméa, you need to leave here and inform the chief that there is a superhuman who can use powers without objects like the other zone chiefs on the territory of Abellio!"
Julien collapses on his back, his body covered in blood and sweat.
Roméa: "No, Julien, don't close your eyes, you have to stay conscious and we can leave this place together!"
Julien: "GET OUT OF HERE, YOU'RE USELESS TO ME!"
Vati got up like a zombie and Julien, who was completely drained, got up with trembling legs. The two moved closer, raised their fists, and hit each other.
Vati falling belly-first to the ground and Julien was about to fall on his back, but Roméa caught him.
Julien: "Roméa, is that you?"
Roméa: "yes," she said, crying
Julien: "I'm glad you didn't leave..." I'm going to die... but the unknown enemy has been eliminated… You can tell the chief that between the two of us, we have defeated a powerful unknown enemy... You will surely be greatly rewarded ......Roméa I am sorry.......... "
Roméa held Julien's body tightly, who was gradually losing strength while crying, but relieved that the fight was over and their attacker was dead.
Vati: "patience, patience" he whispered, his eyes wide open, lying on the ground
Julien died, and after several minutes, Roméa got up, and at the moment she was no longer focused, Vati slit her throat with his knife, and her body collapsed onto Julien's.
Vati was breathing heavily, his mind still numbed by adrenaline.
He took out his phone and called Abellio.
"It's done"
Abellio: "... very well, meet me at the place where we first met."
Vati closed his eyes, caught his breath, realizing what he had done.
"I killed two people…" But it was legitimate, it was them or me.
He turned around and left the parking lot, leaving the two bodies behind him, but in this city plagued by thugs and gangs, such a scene is not rare and will not lead to any investigations.
