Chapter 160: Time's Up

"Everyone, back!" Aldrich said as he stepped forhile hly shoved several people behind hi back, but better safe than sorry

Hat Trick s out a shockwave of force that crashed against Aldrich's barrier harmlessly

Hat Trick's shockwave had not really been meant to harm It was more like a way to vent his frustration

The crowd grew silent in fear and confusion as they took nervous, tentative steps backwards

Even if this was the case that Hat Trick was just unleashi+ng a man child tantru dangerous He could not think of a otistical hero who had fallen froranted

Froh publicly available inforory that indicated that his powers could traverse across ories under certain conditions

In Hat Trick's case, depending on what color his hat was and what trick he performed with it, he obtained different sets of powers

What these powers exactly as keptteam showcased most often his ability to turn his body into lasers and another one where he obtained a completely crystalline, diamond like body

But even at his base state, Hat Trick had a high enough AC count that his raw physical stats were considerably developed already

Hat Trick began to laugh It was a full bellied, extended laugh that continued on and on until he ran out of breath

"Back," repeated Aldrich with more force, and the crowd all shuffled away, behind Seismic as a second layer of protection

"A joke A sick fucking joke," muttered Hat Trick He finally looked up at Aldrich, his face revealing under his hat There was no anger there No frustration His eyes had tears of laughter welling up within them "This is what this all is

All that work, the eries, the hair transplants, theon set, off set, so much some days I couldn't even tell as real anyet flipped over by a no name fuckup like you

It's a joke, isn't it?"

"Hat Trick, if you don't stand down-," snarled Seis Seismic

Aldrich wanted Hat Trick to break down here It would give Aldrich even e to ith

"But you knohat I've come to realize?" Hat Trick's sht like tricks, but I fucking hate jokes"

The rilowed blue The hero then took off his hat in one smooth motion and opened it up towards Aldrich

The eht with energy that fluxed before shooting outwards in a brilliant beay output vested within that attack presents h Volantis spoke to Aldrich, it was more accurate to say his words werereached Aldrich's mind near instantly

This allowed Aldrich to react to things based off of Volantis's observations even in tense, time sensitive situations

Aldrich just kept his barrier up With how high its energy resistance was, Hat Trick's laser would not get through it

The crowd started to screaht and alarm as they witnessed Hat Trick's laser, his so-called Blue Blaster, used against Aldrich

'Get everyone out of here,' said Aldrich as he put his hand in front of hireen barrier, absorbing into it without dealing e elsewhere

'I know,' came Seismic's response

"Everyone, move out! Back to shelter!" said Seis in front of them with an eye on Hat Trick to make sure he was ready to intercept any attack

Hat Trick's Blue Blaster faded down, revealing his sy tinted hat The hero started to hover in the air as he stared down at Aldrich with a smile that could only be described as broken

"What do you think you're doing?" said Aldrich, his voice terse

"Oh, er, will I?" said Hat Trick "No, that's not true I'll probably get deots that have to wring their hands and beg for their paychecks
