Chapter 1392 - A Taste of His Own Medicine (1/2)
Han Xiao and the others waited for a while until the energy storm gradually stopped.
Evans’ talent was too outstanding, and his advancement process was smooth. He successfully advanced to Beyond Grade A, and the energy in his body overflowed from his eyes. His eyes were like two small suns that slowly extinguished under his deliberate control. He let out a long breath. The sudden surge in strength caused the breath he exhaled to be like a shockwave, creating a hurricane on the ground. The ground that had already been corroded by the energy into a ring-shaped crater, shattered into pieces. After all, Evans had only advanced to Beyond Grade A, the power that he released during his Promotion would not be enough to blow up a planet. The only thing that would suffer was the surrounding area. It was as if the ground had been dug up by dogs.
Before he could familiarize himself with his new strength, Evans noticed Han Xiao and the others in outer space.
Without waiting for him to go up, Han Xiao landed in front of him with Hila and the others.
“Well done. I knew you would be able to reach this level easily. Your Promotion time is also earlier than I expected.” “This is all thanks to your nurturing. I originally planned to inform you after my Promotion and give you a surprise, but I didn’t expect you to come personally. However, nothing in the army can be hidden from you.”
Evans nodded and maintained his humble attitude, not affected by the sudden increase in strength.
Han Xiao squeezed his shoulder to show his appreciation, then turned around and saw Feidin and the others looking at Evans curiously. He could not help but smile and say,
“Come, let me introduce you guys. This is Evans. I’ve secretly trained him for decades… As for them, there’s no need for me to introduce them. You should recognize all of them. They’re all veterans in the army and my good friends.”
“Hello.” Evans nodded at everyone and bowed slightly.
Ames smiled and nodded. Hila nodded coldly, and Feidin and Aurora replied politely.
“Don’t underestimate this guy.” Han Xiao pressed on Evans’ shoulder and said with a smile, “A few decades ago, he was just an ordinary person. The time he took to advance to Beyond Grade A from zero almost caught up to my record. His talent should be second among the Calamity Grade officers in the army.”
“That powerful?” Aurora was shocked. “Then who’s first?”
“I’m not telling you. You guys will know when he becomes a Beyond Grade A.”
Han Xiao rubbed Aurora’s nose and smiled.
He was naturally referring to Karlot. If Karlot was guided correctly from the start, Karlot’s efficiency in becoming a Beyond Grade A might have even been faster than Evans’. However, he had wasted a long time in the dynasty before receiving his teachings, so he did not have the chance to break the record.
Aurora curled her lips, clearly dissatisfied with Han Xiao’s secrecy. However, she could not do anything about it. She looked at Evans, blinked, and said, “Brother, what ability user are you?”
Hearing this, Hila and the others also stared at Evans. They were all very curious about what kind of ability it was that made Black Star think so highly of him and even secretly groom him for decades.
Facing the attention of the upper echelons of the army, Evans was not nervous at all. He slowly said, “My ability is to absorb other people’s Esper Abilities for my own use.”
“Oh, so it’s absorbing… Hmm?”
Aurora subconsciously said half a sentence, but she was suddenly stunned.
Hila and the others were shocked and looked at Evans with a strange expression.
After a few seconds of silence, Ames said with uncertainty,
“Black Star… if I’m not mistaken, his ability is similar to EsGod’s?”
“Not really.” Han Xiao chuckled. “It’s exactly the same.”
Hearing this, the expressions of the group changed slightly. They quietly took a few steps back, not hiding their fear at all. At the same time, they looked at Evans and Black Star with even more strange eyes, finally understanding something.
This guy’s ability is the same as EsGod’s. Could he be EsGod’s illegitimate son ?
Where did Black Star find this guy?
No wonder they had to secretly groom him. If others knew that the Black Star Army was grooming a new ‘EsGod’, it would cause a huge backlash. The Army Commander was as bold as ever!
Everyone quickly thought about it.
Seeing the expressions of Hila and the others, Han Xiao knew what they were thinking. He shook his head and said,
“Don’t worry, Evans is different from EsGod. He’s a good guy, and he won’t casually absorb Esper Abilities.”
“Hehe.”
Aurora pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed stiffly.
Hila was not moved, and her expression remained solemn. In a sense, Evans was the nemesis of all Espers. Although the Esper Abilities of the two sisters were very powerful, they were still things that could be taken away by the other party. The purpose of this guy’s existence was more than his combat power. He was a trump card!
Evans did not mind the fear of the others. He had long accepted the fate brought about by this Esper Ability and acted as if he did not see their vigilance. He turned to Han Xiao and said with a smile that he was not used to, “Your Excellency Black Star, I have yet to congratulate you on stepping to a new level. This news stimulated me and helped me take the last step, which is how I completed the final transformation.”
“Is that so? Looks like you owe me another favor.” Han Xiao chuckled.
After he had advanced to the Transcendent Grade, he had asked Phillip to privately tell the two golden leeks, Karlot and Evans. Firstly, it was to stimulate them to work hard, and secondly, although the two of them were loyal enough, they still had to continue consolidating their position. It was naturally a good method to display their new strength.
Only these two people received such treatment. After all, they could not participate in the Beyond Grade A Conference. If he did not inform them, they would not know.
“You’re already a Beyond Grade A, do you have any plans?” Han Xiao asked as usual.
“You don’t have to ask me. I made my stand back then and stayed in the army to serve you. This is my only choice.” Evans did not hesitate at all.
Hearing this, Han Xiao smiled and nodded.
“That’s right… Speaking of which, the timing of your Promotion is quite coincidental. As I said, I’ll give you a gift when you become a Beyond Grade A Super. I’ll give it to you now.”
“I’m looking forward to it,” Evans said calmly.
Han Xiao snapped his fingers, and a large number of mechanical soldiers appeared, placing a Spacetime Amber on the field.
Everyone looked over and saw a coffin-like mechanical device sealed in the Spacetime Amber. No one knew who was inside.
Sweeping his gaze across the curious faces of the crowd, Han Xiao’s lips curled up slightly, and he immediately removed the amber. The mechanical device slammed onto the ground, then quickly disintegrated, turning into tiny snake-like mechanical particles that swam back to Han Xiao.
The person locked up inside was revealed, falling onto the ground with a thud, still in the heavily injured state of being sealed.
With just one look, the faces of Hila, Ames, Feidin, and Aurora changed.
“This is… Gaud “.
“Why is he in your hands P”
For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
Back then, Gaud’s disappearance had caused the dynasty to be furious and caused a huge commotion in the universe. Black Star had even been invited to solve the case and acted as a detective. The few of them had always thought that this had nothing to do with Han Xiao.
From the looks of it now, could it be that Black Star was the one who had called the shots ?
Everyone looked at Han Xiao in shock. How many things did this guy do behind the scenes? He really was a mastermind!
“Don’t look at me like that. I did this for a reason. This kid has a lot of secrets on him.” Han Xiao clicked his tongue and pointed at Gaud, who was on the verge of death. “He’s a pure dynasty direct descendant. In fact, he’s the main consciousness that EsGod separated. He always wanted to communicate with the World Tree, so I killed him. Don’t think that I’m deliberately suppressing the dynasty’s potential direct descendant.” “Heh, keep making things up.” Aurora rolled her eyes.
Han Xiao glared at her and could not be bothered with her. He released a ball of Mechanical Force from his palm and turned it into a lightning chain, binding Gaud’s hands and feet, holding him in midair.
“EsGod, how does it feel to see the light of day again?”
