Capítulo 281: Chapter 279 Exclusive Domain
The rocket's flames were still splattering, but they couldn't break through that invisible barrier. They hung suspended in mid-air about half a meter from their previous trajectory, frozen in place.
"Go back!" Kyle pointed again and a green misty light wrapped around his fingers. The radiance concentrated at his fingertips, forming a dazzling green light.
With precise and perfect control, the direction of gravitational attraction immediately changed. The three rocket shells slowly turned back in the direction they had been fired from, returning along their original paths.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
The ground erupted into three small fireballs again, illuminating a corner of the base. The Hydra armed forces that had gathered from the outside were all dumbfounded.
"It's a pity, this is just gravitational attraction, the lowest branch of the Force Field Manipulation. Achieving this level is almost the limit of the ability," Kyle sighed lightly and withdrew his merged fingers.
While these abilities might seem very powerful, in reality, they were the maximum effect of the gravitational attraction ability. There was no further potential to explore and expand.
Using gravitational attraction to deal with ordinary people was fine, but against Superhumans like Black Widow or Captain America, it could only serve as a supplementary means to hinder their movements. If they encountered beings like Thor or Hulk, it would only be an existence that could suppress them.
After all, it was just a Blue Ability Card, and reaching this level was already a rare-tier card within the blue category.
But this performance was still enough to shock Lorna.
She felt like she had opened the door to a new world, her eyes staring at Kyle with fascination. "Boss, you have to teach me how to use this ability like you do!"
Kyle shook his head and replied calmly, "When it comes to using mutated abilities, I'm still a bit behind Raina, Logan, and the others. They are the experts who have developed their abilities to perfection."
"Who is Logan?" Lorna tilted her head and asked with a doubtful expression on her face.
Kyle shrugged and said, "One of the elders of the Carl Family. He's not on Earth at the moment."
"Not on... Earth?" Lorna was bewildered.
Obviously, she hadn't fully integrated into the Carl Family yet. If she had been familiar with some of the things within the family, she wouldn't be so surprised by some unnatural occurrences.
"You'll find out later," Kyle pondered as he looked down at the approaching enemies within the base. He turned to Raina, who was by his side, and said, "Go on, let Lorna witness the full extent of your abilities."
Raina nodded lightly, her eyes flowing with silver light. Enveloped in a faint glow, she detached herself from the gravitational control and descended.
"Raina, you can fly too..." Lorna exclaimed in surprise.
Although she was close to Raina, she had never seen Raina display her full abilities before. She had always thought Raina had abilities like telepathy.
Kyle explained, "Raina's ability is Mental Manipulation. According to the potential level, it falls between your gravitational attraction and magnetic field manipulation."
Lorna's heart quivered, and her sense of superiority about her own abilities vanished. She locked her gaze tightly onto Raina's figure.
Her figure was falling and it wasn't until it was half a meter from the ground that Raina came to a stop in mid-air. She landed gracefully on the concrete ground of the base's courtyard, her black dress's hem swaying gently. Her silver eyes swept coldly and ruthlessly over the surrounding enemies.
She stood alone, choosing to land right in the center of the enemy legion. She was like an enchanting black rose blooming in a unique place.
Armed vehicles, bulletproof and equipped with machine guns, were densely parked around her. In an instant, dozens or even hundreds of armed soldiers all pointed their weapons at her.
"Enemy sighted!"
"Open fire, kill her!"
Experienced members of the Hydra organization weren't careless just because their adversary was an attractive woman. In a brief moment, they decisively and sternly took action.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
The muzzles of firearms emitted blue flames as a dense hail of bullets formed a large net, covering Raina.
In the sky, Lorna, who witnessed this scene, couldn't help but exclaim and instinctively reached out to use her abilities to help.
In the next moment, she froze, her eyes filled with shock and astonishment.
Raina gently raised her slender hand and extended her palm outward. It seemed as if she formed a circular air shield around her body.
The numerous bullets, like raindrops, lost their kinetic energy and froze within a one-meter radius of her. They remained suspended in the air, creating a bizarre spectacle.
The continuous hail of bullets from all directions lasted for over ten seconds.
Only when the bullets in their magazines were depleted did the armed soldiers stop in shock. Raina, in the center, was enveloped in a dense shell of bullets, forming a protective sphere around her.
Even those who didn't have trypophobia were horrified, and their spines tingled with goosebumps.
"Is this a force field ability?" Lorna, hovering in the air, asked in amazement.
"It's still Mental Manipulation, just a different application. Raina concentrates her thoughts to create an absolute mental control field within a one-meter radius around her body, blocking any incoming attacks," Kyle explained.
He also couldn't help but admire her, "This is the power of Raina's ability taken to its extreme. Within that one-meter radius is her exclusive domain, and not even a god can enter it."
As a rare blue Ability Card, when applied to this level, it could hold its own even against an opponent with a rare purple Ability Card.
In the base's courtyard, surrounded by the bullet-wrapped interior, Raina's eyes emitted a brilliant silver light. A powerful mental force erupted from her mind, coalescing into an invisible shockwave that spread outward.
*Buzz! Buzz!*
The bullets suspended in the air trembled and were individually enveloped by the mental force. They shattered into pieces and exploded in all directions, mercilessly strafing the pale-faced armed personnel.
*Splatter!*
Nearly thirty armed soldiers in the front row collectively groaned in pain and fell to the ground, much like the scene of wheat being harvested by a sickle.
On their lifeless bodies, there were countless bullet holes, and thick, viscous blood oozed out of these bullet holes. They couldn't have even dreamt that they would be killed by the very bullets they had fired.
Raina remained unscathed, her silver eyes icy and cold and her dark dress didn't even have a speck of dirt or bloodstain on it.
This was Scarlet Eye, the Black Queen, one of the three top figures in the Carl Family, the Guardian!
"So powerful," Lorna couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Kyle nodded in agreement. This precise control over mental force was even more perfect than it had been sixty years ago.
"It's a shame, though, that it's only a Rare Blue Mental Manipulation. If it were a Rare Purple Mental Control—"
Kyle pondered for a moment but suddenly fell silent. He gazed down at Raina and furrowed his brows, deep in thought.
How do abilities like Mental Manipulation originate? It's through gene mutation, the first benign evolution of humans!
Since genes can evolve once to grant superpowers, is it possible for them to evolve again, building upon the existing foundation?
A second evolution... that would be called... Ability Awakening!
"Could Raina possibly undergo Ability Awakening? If she does, will her Ability Card advance to the Purple Grade?" Kyle thought to himself with a gleam in his eye.
