Chương 49: Chapter 49 : Punch!
Above the sky, as the Blackbird fighter jet neared Lake Alkali, Carl recognized their approach to the destination even before Storm could remind him.
At an altitude of 10,000 meters, the trio beheld the distant undulating mountains below, but the valley roared with wind, and endless water vapor formed clouds and mist, obscuring the view.
The thick clouds and mist stretched over a range of nearly tens of kilometers, visible even from their aerial vantage point.
Before they drew closer, a formidable Psychokinesis disturbance emanated from below, instilling a sense of dread in the trio.
Carl abruptly rose from his seat, darting to the cockpit's front, and gazed down at the billowing water vapor below with a solemn expression. "It has begun."
Storm, too, brimmed with excitement tinged with disbelief. "The intensity of that Psychokinesis disturbance, with an undertone of elegance, I never imagined she survived."
"Professor Orolo, no time to waste. Mr. Scott is in peril. Quickly, open the hatch," Carl urged.
Storm exclaimed in astonishment, "Carl, you intend to jump from here? At 10,000 meters, you risk certain death descending like this."
Carl's tone remained grave. "Trust me, Professor Orolo. I am certain."
"And if we wait for the fighter jet to land and find a suitable spot to disembark, Mr. Scott may not survive."
Carl's anxiety for his two comrades was palpable.
"Very well."
Observing Carl's resolute countenance and the destructive Psychokinesis fluctuations ahead, Storm, though uneasy, nodded, opting to place trust in him.
Meanwhile, Logan, by their side, could only watch in stunned silence.
After all, his resilience aside, he lacked the ability to fly.
Jumping from a height of 10,000 meters would likely result in certain death, let alone the uncertainty of rescuing anyone. Even if he were to heal eventually through his regenerative abilities, the delay could prove fatal.
Roar!
As the fighter jet decelerated, the hatch swung open, unleashing a gust of wind so fierce it stung the eyes.
With the hatch ajar, Carl surged with strength, morphing into a blur of darkness as he hurled himself out, hurtling downward at alarming speed.
The wind howled in his ears as the landscape below rapidly expanded in Carl's vision.
Within a mere ten seconds, he descended to over 5,000 meters, approaching the speed of sound.
In that moment, Carl's arms quivered, and the feeble force field within him erupted, countering the magnetic field of the earth, weakening the intense kinetic energy of his descent.
Adjusting his angle, Carl glided toward the lake's edge with precision.
Beneath his keen gaze, he discerned the ripples on the lake's surface and the figures locked in embrace upon its shores.
As Scott's hand made contact with Jean, a faint red light trailed the point of contact, swiftly engulfed and absorbed by Jean.
Meanwhile, Carl remained more than 3,000 meters away, but couldn't contain his outcry: "Miss Jean, are you attempting to harm Teacher Scott?"
Given Carl's current physique, his formidable vitality erupted with such intensity that his voice seemed to reverberate across the lake, resonating through the surrounding atmosphere.
However, there was no response from Jean below, as if she hadn't heard a thing.
Hurry, hurry!
At that moment, Carl felt the descent speed of 400 meters per second seemed somewhat sluggish.
Boom!
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Carl, descending like a falcon through mist and clouds, pierced through the veil and landed.
The winds roared around him. Just as Carl was within fifty meters of the ground, his eyes gleamed suddenly, projecting two fiery red beams.
With his increasing strength, the power and range of his Heat Ray surged rapidly, extending to more than 40 meters.
Boom!
As Carl's Heat Ray approached within three meters of Scott and Jean, a brilliant red light erupted but was thwarted by an invisible Psychokinetic shield.
Truly formidable field shielding.
Witnessing this, the light in Carl's eyes vanished as he plummeted.
Simultaneously, an explosive force surged within him, activating his X Gene Ability.
In an instant, Carl's momentum soared. Transparent energy burst from his body, and waves of formidable force emanated from his muscles, coalescing in his right hand.
With a grip strength of fifteen tons, his fist's force, which doubled to fifty tons upon impact, surged fivefold under the X Gene Ability, equivalent to over 200 tons.
With the power surpassing 200 tons and the kinetic energy nearing the speed of sound, the force multiplied several times, surpassing a thousand tons.
Thousands of tons of power concentrated in the area of his fist, to the point where even Carl felt a slight strain.
To him, the air beneath his fist resembled an iron wall, each step closer accompanied by an astounding collision force.
Such intensely condensed power had reached a qualitative shift, transforming from intangible to tangible, enveloping his fist in a layer of substantial fire.
At that moment, Carl exerted every ounce of his strength, delivering a punch with unparalleled force.
Boom!
As the fist thrust forward, the air within a few meters below erupted, creating transparent ripple layers cascading from the sky with formidable force.
Boom!
Just as the fist loomed three meters above Scott's head, a dark red, translucent Psychokinesis force field materialized.
Then, beneath the fist, brimming with fearsome power, there was a sudden descent, creating a transparent depression of about half a meter.
Yet, in that moment, beneath her gaze, Jean's eyes narrowed, her countenance veiled in dark black lines resembling a specter, as she regarded Carl with an indifferent gaze.
In a flash, a more violent, annihilative surge of Psychokinesis burst forth from her.
Boom!
Carl grunted, his entire being directly impacted by the terrifying force.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thrown backward like a projectile, Carl soared through the air, akin to a cannonball, piercing through the atmosphere.
At a staggering speed nearing the subsonic, he hurtled through the air for a hundred meters, finally halting after colliding with several sizable trees in succession.
