Chapter 363: Xia Shang Makes His Move, Cate's Superpower Fully Awakens!
Beside her, Marie Moreau felt deep sympathy for Golden Boy's plight, having gone through the same thing herself.
"I understand how Golden Boy feels right now... it's a lingering nightmare," Marie Moreau said with emotion, looking at Golden Boy not far away, a hint of sadness in her eyes. "Running away might be shameful, but it works."
A strong sense of self-reproach made Anderson want to slap himself a few times. "Damn it, I shouldn't have brought up his brother in front of him."
"Promise me, let this be a secret between us." Cate hadn't expected the effect to be so good. Perhaps she didn't need to use her superpower at all to delete these guys' memories.
"Nice story, too bad it's all lies."
A sudden voice completely shattered the sentimental atmosphere.
Who's talking?! Anger flared in their hearts, and they all looked towards the direction of the voice.
"You guys are a bit disappointing," Xia Shang, draped in a black robe, slowly walked up to Cate and said bluntly.
Compared to calling them stupid, he preferred to describe Marie Moreau and the others as naive.
"Vice Principal Jervis, I don't quite understand what you mean." Anyone would be unhappy being criticized for no reason. Anderson took a step forward, his expression displeased.
Xia Shang didn't pay attention to Anderson, but looked at Cate beside him. "I originally wanted your superpower to awaken naturally, but now it seems I might have to wait a long time. Don't waste time, quickly delete their memories."
His tone was flat, but carried a sense of command.
Marie Moreau and the others under the tree shade had no idea what was going on. What did he mean? Were Cate's words just now all lies? Why did he say Cate's superpower hadn't awakened? And why was he telling Cate to delete their memories? "Vice Principal Jervis, I don't know you, and I don't understand what you're saying."
Cate pretended to look bewildered, while also casting a pleading gaze at Anderson.
"Mr. Jervis, this is our private gathering time, please leave." Anderson, brimming with machismo, said with a cold face, preparing to drive Xia Shang away.
"Your father, Polarity, wouldn't dare say something like that in front of me. Truly, ignorance is bliss."
Xia Shang wasn't angry, just found it a bit amusing. Of course, the necessary lesson still had to be taught. In an instant, an invisible psychic power generated around his body, like the pressure from the deep sea, enveloping Anderson and the others.
Pfft!! Emma Meyer, with the weakest physique, couldn't withstand the pressure and was the first to spit out a mouthful of blood. Seeing this, Xia Shang frowned, directly manipulated the psychic power to split open the Lawn, and planted the shocked Emma Meyer into it. Then, the Lawn, which had been pulled apart like a zipper, closed back together. Only Emma Meyer's head was left exposed to the air.
However, Xia Shang also withdrew the psychic power enveloping her, preventing her injury from worsening.
On Anderson's side, under the immense pressure, even lifting his arm seemed extremely difficult. His whole body felt like it was submerged in cement that was about to solidify. Even the simple action of opening his mouth was hard to achieve.
"You're a Supe too," Anderson gritted his teeth, mobilizing his whole body's strength just to barely resist the pressure on him.
"Still able to talk? Looks like the pressure on you isn't great enough."
Xia Shang raised his arm and glanced at the time on his wristwatch. At the same time, the psychic power covering Anderson's body tightened continuously, like a giant python performing a death squeeze. Now, even wiggling a finger became a luxury for Anderson. But he still didn't yield, instead pushing his superpower to the Extreme Control. As his superpower spread outwards, soon, a street lamp not far away actually began to sway slightly, as if it would be pulled out of the ground the next second.
However, Xia Shang, sensing something, turned his head to look at the street lamp. He saw the street lamp, which was about to leave the Ground, being pressed back down by an invisible strength.
"Cate, I'll give you two choices: either watch them turn into mashed flesh, or do as I say." Xia Shang put his hands into his pocket and looked at Marie Moreau. He had reviewed Marie Moreau's information and knew her superpower was blood control. What surprised him was that Marie Moreau's superpower could not only control her own blood but also affect the blood within his body.
"I can sense their existence, but why can't I control them?" The immense pressure prompted Marie Moreau's superpower to gradually undergo some peculiar change.
However, this change still seemed fragile in the face of absolute strength.
Originating from the talent skill Extreme Control, Xia Shang's degree of control over himself had reached an appalling level. Unless Marie Moreau's superpower could become several times stronger, trying to control the blood within Xia Shang's body was almost impossible.
Moreover, Xia Shang had fused with [Blood Control]. In terms of blood control ability, he was in no way inferior to Marie Moreau.
"Enough, I'll do as you say, delete their memories." Cate, unwilling to see a tragedy happen, walked up to Anderson and slowly raised her right hand. Under Anderson's disbelieving gaze, she placed her palm on his forehead.
"Forget about Golden Boy's brother, and everything related to the Forest. Forget what's happening now, and go back to your Room for a good sleep."
After using her superpower, Cate's expression was clearly a bit tired, but she still mustered her mental focus and walked towards Marie Moreau, who was struggling to hold on.
Using her superpower three times in a row had caused her eyes to slowly turn red. After she finished deleting Emma Meyer's memory, her body suddenly trembled violently, like an epileptic seizure, and she fell headfirst onto the Ground.
Immediately after, an invisible strength spread towards the surroundings.
"Memory Space?" In an instant, Cate's body suddenly disappeared before Xia Shang's eyes. It was a true disappearance, not an ability like invisibility.
Just at this moment, in the Living Room of a Villa in the New York Outskirts.
Xia Shang's main body, who was sitting on the sofa flipping through an ancient Egyptian dictionary, suddenly stopped turning the pages in his hand, got up, and walked towards the outside of the Villa.
The effective range of Cate's superpower naturally couldn't cover the location of Xia Shang's main body. So, when Xia Shang withdrew his consciousness, he naturally left Cate's Memory Space.
"Cate's superpower is indeed difficult to sustain." The open book floated beside Xia Shang as part of his consciousness returned to the clones.
The clones' dull gaze lit up again, and Cate's body was lying on the Lawn.
"Her emotional fluctuation is quite large, but she shouldn't collapse." Xia Shang saw Cate's eyelids twitching continuously, indicating that Cate's subconscious was very active.
