Superpowers

Emery smirked, as if he had been holding back just to witness the scene unfolding before him.

 

With his hands crossed over his chest, Emery casually walked up to the first person, Kerry. His steps were noticeably light, revealing his usual unserious demeanor. Pointing at Kerry, he said with a smile, "This is Kerry, with the ability of muscle enhancement. His muscles can store more energy than an average person, making him the powerhouse of our team..." Emery began leisurely introducing everyone to me while Kerry and the others stood frozen.

 

"What about Farley? How is he different from Farley?" I asked.

 

Emery reached out, licked his lips, and mischievously touched Kerry's chest muscles, "Although Farley has tremendous strength, he's not good at combat because he's a kid. But Kerry is a combat powerhouse, very practical on the battlefield, and his body is tough. When his explosive ability is triggered, he becomes invincible." After saying that, he patted Kerry's well-developed chest muscles. Kerry slowly came to his senses, glaring at Emery, "Have you touched enough?!"

 

"Don't be stingy, you let Lindsay touch you, why not me?" Emery had a wicked grin on his face. However, this remark successfully broke Kerry's composure. His initially serious expression was instantly replaced by a blush. Awkwardly turning away, he clenched his teeth and lowered his voice, "Can you not mention her?! We have nothing!"

 

"Hahaha." Emery resumed his introduction, pointing to the second person, Shia. "This is Shia; he can control the gravitational field around him..."

 

Shia snapped out of it, smiled at me, and with his big fish-like eyes and a face pretending to be serious, looked a bit cute. He slightly opened both hands, forming a lotus finger pose. Then, he closed his giant eyes, pursed his lips, and made a sound: "Moo——" After that, he floated up slowly, like a helium balloon slowly ascending.

 

Everyone snapped out of their daze and looked up together, as if witnessing a human-shaped helium balloon being released.

 

"The downside is that he can't control it well yet. He can go up but can't come down..." Emery looked up, shook his head in sigh, then, as if unable to hold back, lowered his head, covered his mouth, and burst into laughter, supporting himself against Kerry's sturdy body.

 

"You did that on purpose." Bill, as if seeing through Emery, gave him a glance, and everyone laughed quietly.

 

Meanwhile, Shia had already floated to the top, stuck there. Lowering his head, he shouted to everyone, "Who's going to help me down—"

 

Bill sighed, shook his head, pulled over a thick cushion from the side, positioned it directly under Shia, and then shouted, "It's good now—"

 

"Okay—"Then, Shia free-fell straight down, "Thud!" he landed on the cushion that Bill had prepared for him, and didn't get up for a while.

 

I was momentarily stunned. So, his ability is to go up, but coming down results in a fall? Is this power meant for suicide preparation?

 

"Tsk~~~" Everyone waved their hands, revealing uninterested expressions. ""

 

"Don't mind him." Emery said, and everyone no longer paid attention to Shia on the cushion. It seemed to be a common occurrence here. Emery then turned to Williams, "Williams, show Yvette a trick!"

 

"OK!" Williams smirked. I looked at him, and to my surprise, two more arms appeared on his back, almost in the blink of an eye. He pulled out four guns, two hands pointing forward and two hands pointing backward!

 

I was amazed as four arms suddenly appeared, startling me. Curious, I leaned forward, and the two additional arms grew out from his back. No wonder he was wearing such a vest. As I was observing, his four hands skillfully rotated the handguns and reholstered them in the gun holsters on his chest and back. The two additional arms on his back were exceptionally agile!

 

After he holstered the guns on his back, the extra arms instantly disappeared, as if they had never appeared, or maybe I was seeing double.This ability was too amazing, more intriguing than any other power I had seen.

 

"Gabriel's ability you have already seen..." Emery walked over to Gabriel's side. Shia, who was sitting on the cushion, sat up, calmly returned to the group with Bill, as if everything that just happened hadn't occurred. Emery continued to introduce the abilities of the other team members calmly.

 

"Gabriel can turn invisible and can make the people around him invisible as well," Emery explained. While he spoke, Gabriel had already grabbed Williams' hand. Shortly after, both he and Williams disappeared. After a moment, they reappeared together. He looked at me triumphantly, "In the future, when we go on missions together, I can protect you."

 

I looked at it in amazement; this invisibility ability was quite practical!In most sci-fi movies, invisibility is limited to the body, requiring the removal of clothing. In more advanced scenarios, the costume is made of high-tech material, making it easier for the hero to turn invisible. However, those heroes cannot make others around them invisible.

 

But Gabriel can make people around him invisible, which is crucial in practical combat situations. He can lead everyone to sneak in or, in times of danger, make everyone invisible together.

 

"Bill! Your turn!" Emery pulled out Bill, who rarely smiled. Bill pushed him away disdainfully, rolled his eyes at him, "You wrinkled all my clothes.""Bill!" Williams exclaimed, "Maybe we should skip Bill..." Surprisingly, Williams looked at Bill with some fear, and not only him, even Gabriel and the others shook their heads repeatedly.

 

Bill's face immediately darkened, "Are you all repelled by me?!" He glared fiercely at everyone, his ash-brown hair trembling.

 

"No, no, let Yvette experience Bill's amazing talent." Emery approached with a grin, and everyone stared at Bill with resentment.

 

Seeing everyone so "apprehensive," could Bill's ability be truly terrifying and powerful?

 

"Yvette, let us tell you, Bill is the prince of ballads here, and his singing is amazing." Kerry, who had just showcased his ability, danced with raised eyebrows. However, he started covering his ears, and Emery and the others were already doing the same. It was evident that what Kerry said wasn't true.

 

"Bill, go ahead," Uncle Dominic said, immediately plugging his own ears with earplugs, appearing even calmer than Emery and the others.

 

You're all covering your ears, but no one reminded me to cover mine?

 

Bill cleared his throat and touched his Adam's apple, "Ah~~~~~~"

 

Instantly, the piercing sound pierced into my ears, and I suddenly felt nauseous! Bill's voice, or rather the decibels, wasn't actually high, and ears could endure it. However, for some reason, it made me feel like throwing up.

 

"Ugh!" Bill's mouth was covered by Emery, who was also covering his own mouth. Others were also covering their mouths, except Shia, who seemed relatively calm, not covering his mouth but slowly turning around, bending over: "Bleh——" He actually vomited!

 

Bill's voice was unaffected even with covered ears. Only Uncle Dominic, who seemed unperturbed, took off his earplugs.

 

The others made a swallowing motion, which made me feel even more nauseous!

 

Bill, with Emery covering his mouth, Emery patted his chest and let go of Bill's mouth, looking at me, "Bill's ability is the power to make people vomit with his singing!" I was left stunned in place. So, this is a singing-induced vomiting ability? I realized that the abilities in this world seemed to surpass my imagination.

 

Kerry's powerful muscles, Shia's floating, and Gabriel's invisibility are common abilities in sci-fi novels and movies. When I first arrived in this world, I already knew about the existence of radiation people with special abilities. The worldview of a world with superpowers had already taken shape in my mind.
