141 Those Who Wield Powers (2/2)
Luckily, there is no one left in the city.
”Looks like we are being spied upon, Zeus.”
Hades speaks up, causing everyone else across the world to look around the room.
One of the rooms drops sharply in temperature, revealing the cloaked drone in the corner.
”Found you.”
The girl said before the drone instantly turns into a block of ice and crashes onto the ground, shattering into a million pieces. Before the drone was destroyed, it tells me that the normal temperature of the room drops to absolute zero in an instant.
Not instantly, but within a microsecond.
And unlike Excalibur, there is also no magical energy being detected whatsoever from her attack. This means she is not using magic.
That shouldn't be possible.
Shadow swirls around another person in India before erupting outwards, washing over everything and destroying anything that isn't visible.
The cloaked drone didn't even have the chance to send any feedback to Legion before being consumed by darkness and destroyed.
”I thought Ghostly make sure that we are hidden?”
Another person questions. He sits atop one of the tallest skyscrapers in Beijing, looking directly at the cloaked drone hovering some distance away.
Within an instant, the cloaked drone feels itself being crushed by an invisible force. It detects that the atmospheric pressure has increased several thousand folds.
The drone then explodes violently.
And from another cloaked drone within range, I could see that the explosion didn't spread outwards like it would normally. It is being contained and condensed into a small ball.
Once the flames die down, only a small metallic ball remains.
The Chinese person takes the ball into his hand and then casually tosses it at another drone, destroying that one too since the speeding metallic baseball is too fast too dodge. The ball vanishes into the upper atmosphere.
It would fly straight into space.
What kind of godly strength is that!?
Even I can't do it yet.
I narrow my eyes slightly as each of my cloaked drones are being destroyed in all manner of ways. And none of them are using magic from what I could tell.
Legion confirms this. The sensor did not pickup any magical energy at all.
Perhaps it is not sensitive enough. It is still an early version after al.
And it still requires a lot more research.
The only drone that is not destroyed is the one in the presence the first person who had spoke up. His name is Zeus. He didn't seem to mind being spied upon.
”Ghostly is not here. He hasn't been since the Power of Decay makes itself known. He just disappears, and I do not think that he has ditched us even though he keeps announcing that this is temporary until he finds for himself some loli Goddesses.”
Zeus speaks up and leers at the cloaked drone.
I see that Ghostly is a man of culture. I mean Ghost of Culture. Hah!
Zeus can see the drone even though it is cloaked.
And the only reason he hasn't destroyed it like his friends is because he didn't want to reveal his power to me.
That makes him the smart one. He also appears to be the leader.
”The only reason that I can think of at the moment is that time has been reversed. From what I know, time does not affect Ghostly like it does to us because he is an astral entity. If I am right, this Maximilien Maxwell has the Power of Time.”
Zeus continues.
Wow. How did this guy figure that out? And thank you for the information about astral entity.
Did that mean ghost are not affected by my power?
It makes sense since ghost are basically disembodied spirit or soul. Soul and spirit are not affected by my power. Wait a second, he implies that it didn't affect Ghostly like it did to the rest of them.
That means it does affect ghost, just not in the same way.
Interesting. Very interesting.
I am paying full attention to the conversation instead of watching the Queen of England trying to pull out the sword. It is slowly being remove from the stone, so she will get it out eventually.
”Really? The Power of Time? She is looking for that, so she can kill the Aspect of Time.”
The girl speaks up. She is shocked and surprised.
And I wonder who this ”she” she is referring to.
I do hate the pronoun game, especially when it concerns me.
I didn't remember pissing off anyone enough to wanting to kill me. I mean anyone important.
The Power of Time is different to what I have from the way she speaks of it. They also don't know that I am the Aspect of Time.
I should keep it that way.
”Then what are we waiting for? Let's harvest it for her.”
The one in Australia speaks up. This guy destroyed the cloaked drone by just looking at it, so I am not sure what his power is.
A teenager with similar facial appearance and hair is yawning on his laps. From that alone, I can safely assume they are siblings. It is not certain until they confirm it themselves.
”I would have thought he has the Power of Fire since he has been burning people all over the place. It is pretty high level too since he didn't need to be in direct line of sight. Also, it is very annoying because we are waiting for the Power of Decay to choose someone.”
The one in India speaks up. He is the youngest amongst them from his size.
But looks can be deceiving.
”Don't be stupid, Jake. Like Samuel has just said, he can kill people without being there in person. That tells me he isn't so weak that you can just harvest it from him. And I am unsure how he is doing it since it is not Power of Incineration or any deviations. He has the Power of Time.”
The girl speaks up again.
”You guys are revealing sensitive information. And don't tell me that it is okay now since each of you have destroyed a drone or two. He could easily replace them. I am relatively sure that he has already did.”
Zeus speaks up again before cocking his head towards the drone in the room.
”Is that that right, Maximilien Maxwell? Why are you impersonating the fictional Ori?”
Zeus asks me directly. This guy is definitely the leader.
And there is no need to keep the cloaking active.
”And who might you be?”
I ask through the drone.
”Did you not get it my name? Unlike you, who is impersonating a God. I am a real God.”

Introduction to Power as well as Power Wielders.
Yes. There is a reference to Ghostly, the main character from Ghost of Culture. This is the first time he is mentioned. He will make an appearance eventually.
