Chapter 457: Rock Man Titan
"Who are you? Get your foot off me!"
Mark struggled angrily, trying to get up and fight back.
Unexpectedly, Xia Shang suddenly lifted his leg and stomped down hard. "I told you, don't move around."
With a bang, the Ground shattered, and half of Mark's chest sank into the Surface. Blood spurted from his mouth, staining his mask red.
However, even after such a heavy blow, Mark's consciousness remained clear. It was obvious he had inherited his Father Omni-Man's powerful physical body.
"As expected of Omni-Man's son, your physical quality is almost catching up to mine." Xia Shang shook his head, looking at the Rock Man a few meters away.
Rock Man Titan had a bad feeling. He turned and ran towards the Alleyway. From the Mysterious Person's attire, it wasn't hard to tell that the other party was likely a Superhero, but in his memory, the Global Guardians didn't seem to have this person.
"An uninteresting fellow."
Xia Shang's figure flickered, appearing before the Rock Man without warning. Immediately after, he pressed a palm onto the fleeing Rock Man's face, smashing him into the nearby wall.
"Honestly confess your crimes, and I might spare your life."
Xia Shang's five fingers powerfully covered the Rock Man's face, then gradually applied strength... Crackle, crackle. Cracks appeared on the Rock Man's rocky face, and beneath the cracks was black skin.
The Rock Man looked at Xia Shang in horror. If he didn't speak up now, the other party would definitely crush his head.
"For the Gang transaction, I was just responsible for protecting them. I didn't injure any ordinary citizen." Thinking of his seriously ill Daughter in bed, Titan quickly defended himself: "To raise medical expenses for my Daughter, I borrowed high-interest loans from the Gang. Although I've paid off the debt, they still threatened my Daughter and family to make me work for them."
"Very good, you're not lying. I'm very interested in the Gang behind the scenes. Are there other Supes in there?"
From the Rock Man's heart rate and pupil changes, Xia Shang determined that he was telling the truth. Since coming to this world, his main purpose has been to find powerful Supes and obtain superpowers he is interested in from them.
"Yes, and more than one." At this moment, Titan, whose entire body was wrapped in hard rock, voluntarily withdrew his superpower. After all, his rock defense, which he was usually proud of, seemed fragile in the hands of this guy. Since that was the case, it was better to consciously release his superpower as a gesture of goodwill.
"Looks like we can have a good chat later." Xia Shang released Titan, withdrew his hand, then looked up. "But I have to deal with this trouble in front of me first."
Just then.
A cold, stern voice rang out.
"Kid in the pajamas, if you're not dead, get up."
"Father?" Mark swayed his body, struggling to stand. Unbeknownst to him, a towering figure, feet off the Ground, cape slightly moving, stood before him.
Without looking back at his son, Omni-Man was expressionless, watching Xia Shang. In his deep eyes, no emotional fluctuation could be seen.
After a moment, he slowly spoke: "Mr. Jervis, it seems you took my warning lightly. If you're eager to die, I can certainly satisfy you."
"Omni-Man, are you sure you want to lay hands on a Global Guardians reserve member? What, don't you want your hero title anymore?"
Xia Shang was fearless. He couldn't kill Omni-Man, but Omni-Man couldn't kill him either.
After all, his physical body had evolved to a state where it could basically regenerate infinitely. Unless Omni-Man could destroy every single one of his cells in an extremely short amount of time, he shouldn't even think about completely obliterating him.
"That Cecil guy is senile, letting you join the Global Guardians." Omni-Man said indifferently, with a hint of disdain. "I'll prove to him that his decision was utterly foolish."
Saying that, he turned, grabbed Mark by the collar, and pulled Mark as he flew rapidly towards the horizon.
A few seconds later, the two landed on a Lawn.
Omni-Man looked at the dishevelled Mark, frowned slightly, and said sternly: "You get a little insignificant ability and start wandering around aimlessly. I'm very disappointed in you."
Perhaps realizing he had lost face for his Father Omni-Man, Mark didn't speak, lowering his head and remaining silent.
"Perhaps what happened today will be a lesson for you." Noticing Mark's low mood, Omni-Man's tone gradually softened. "Actually, you don't need to be in such a hurry. It takes time and practice to better master your own ability."
"Mr. Jervis is stronger than I expected. I couldn't beat him... I originally wanted to name myself Invincible Kid, but thinking about it now, it's ridiculous." Mark said dejectedly.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a fist wearing a red glove heavily struck his face.
"How could you have such an idea? You are my son, Omni-Man's son! Even on Viltrum, you are among the noblest bloodlines." Omni-Man said, disappointed in his lack of ambition.
"A person can fail, but their conviction must never fall!"
"I... I'm sorry, I just doubted if I was qualified to be a Superhero, if I could become a Superhero like you..." Clearly, Xia Shang's stomp had made Mark doubt his own ability.
"I said, you're being a bit too hasty right now. I understand, you want to prove to me that you are strong enough, qualified to be a Superhero who fights crime."
Omni-Man came to Mark's side and reached out to pull Mark up from the Ground. "But what I want to say is, you've just awakened your superpower, and there's still a lot of potential yet to be unearthed. You have to believe that you are far stronger than Mr. Jervis; it just takes time, just like a fledgling bird needs time to grow and develop into a soaring falcon."
Under Omni-Man's lecture, Mark gradually regained his confidence. He nodded heavily towards Omni-Man. "I understand."
"It's not too late to understand this now."
Mark's performance made Omni-Man smile.
Smiling, he patted Mark's shoulder. "Come with me, I have a gift for you. Don't wear pajamas for operations anymore."
Mark's body floated up, and he followed. "How does this look like pajamas? This is clearly a bodysuit."
…………
After Omni-Man left, Xia Shang and Titan walked into a Coffee Shop.
"Speak. What's your boss's name? What powerful subordinates does he have?"
The two casually found an empty spot and sat down. After ordering two different types of coffee, Xia Shang spoke first.
"Do you want to catch them all in one net?" Titan asked.
"Do you doubt I have the strength?"
Xia Shang smiled.
