Ray could search a three-kilometer radius if he really wanted to.With his spatial perception ability, nearly three hundred meters of range came naturally. He didn't need to climb any buildings—just standing on the ground and sweeping his senses outward was enough to grasp the entire structure of a building in detail.Covering such a large area wasn't difficult for him at all.'Fine. I've got nothing better to do anyway. Guillermo, Channing—since you want to play games, I'll play along.'Ray casually killed the two men, then dashed out and began searching the vast area.A radius of three kilometers meant nearly thirty square kilometers of land.The number was staggering when he calculated it.He made full use of his spatial perception. First, he moved about one hundred and fifty meters away from the building and circled around, allowing his perception to cover the entire three-hundred-meter radius. Then he advanced another three hundred meters and made another loop, expanding th

Ray climbed the mountain on foot.Someone once said that there are no roads in the world to begin with—walk enough times, and a path will naturally form. The heavy snow on the mountain had buried the original trails, but with enough people passing through, a new one had been trampled into existence.Ray followed this path upward.When he reached the halfway point, he saw a massive hotel—Sunnyville Hill Hot Spring Resort Hotel.This was Mary's lair.He walked toward it. The main gate was shut, but there were people inside the guard post. His spatial perception also made it clear that three sniper positions had been set up inside the hotel, their rifles trained directly on him.Ray appeared calm, but he knew that if any of those fingers twitched on the trigger, he could open a spatial portal in front of him in an instant—or cast Exile on himself."Who are you?" The window of the guard booth slid open, revealing a face. As soon as it did, icy wind poured in, making the man shiver.

Genevieve picked up the walkie-talkie. "Anything unusual?""No. He soaked in the bath for half an hour, then lay on the couch reading," came the immediate reply.Though the speaker couldn't be seen, it was clearly a woman.She thought for a moment, then added, "Captain, that guy has an amazing body—eight-pack abs. And, well… you know what I mean.""Don't tell me you're getting horny again," Genevieve teased.Although the hot spring resort housed both men and women, the inner circle was entirely female. Most of them had once worked here as hotel attendants or spa staff, so they trusted these slightly older women far more than anyone else.The woman on the other end said slowly, "Captain, listen—some guys are just average, you know? They get the job done. But this one? Christ. This guy is packing a fucking fire extinguisher."Genevieve's eyes went wide. "A fire extinguisher?!"How big did that thing have to be?"Hee-hee, I already sent his photo out. Captain, you're closest to h

In the morning, Genevieve assembled a team of twenty. Apart from herself and two other women, the rest were all men."Listen up," Genevieve said loudly. "Today, we're launching a surprise attack on Pibo's group. Our goal is to wipe them out completely. Same rules as always—whoever kills gets to absorb the ability. If several of you work together, whoever grabs it first keeps it. Otherwise, settle it among yourselves in advance!"My only demand is this: absolutely no infighting. If anyone starts trouble, I'll kill them myself!"Got it?""Got it!" all twenty answered in unison."Move out!"Genevieve led the team. The twenty-one of them rode eleven sleds, each pulled by four huskies. No one knew where the hotel had found so many dogs—every single one of them was a sled dog.All of them were ability users. Even those who weren't physical types and hadn't absorbed many abilities yet were far stronger than ordinary people. Endurance in this environment was no problem for them.Their

Mord's opponent was a flamethrower, blasting jets of fire at him again and again.The flames burned at an extreme temperature, and Mord didn't dare get close. His ability, however, was Projection—anything he touched could be hurled outward with terrifying force.With the ground buried under thick snow, he originally had no suitable "weapons." But after Ray smashed through so many walls, chunks of broken masonry and shattered bricks were scattered everywhere, giving him endless ammunition at his feet.Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—brick after brick shot toward the flamethrower.The flamethrower didn't dare take the hits head-on and kept dodging.Ray seized the moment. When the flamethrower dodged again, Ray appeared right in front of him.Ray threw a punch.The flamethrower's mind screamed with a sense of imminent crisis. But sensing danger was one thing—being able to avoid it was another entirely.More importantly, Ray shamelessly used Exile on him, making it impossible for him to dod
