Chapter 53: Atmospheric Domination or Water Vapor Control?

Carl awoke again, and was greeted by a starry sky.

The starry sky of this world is countless times more wonderful than the earth, and the first-class bright stars that exceed the earth's starry sky dozens of times densely cover the entire sky, many nebulae as big as dinner plates, as small as dimples, or like spirals, or elliptical, or like clouds and mist, or bright or dark, or sinking or floating in the dark sky, constructing a beautiful sea of stars with a very three-dimensional sense of layering.

A shining silver moon hangs above the sky, casting a soft moonlight on the earth at night. The shallow blue moon only showed half of its figure, looming on the horizon of the sky.

This dream-like and beautiful night scene made Carl slightly distracted, unable to distinguish whether he was in a dream or in reality.

This time the dream was extraordinarily long, in addition to incarnating as Princess Alicia, he also seemed to have become a dragon, cruising on the bottom of the sea day after day, hunting, eating, sleeping, and letting the vicissitudes of the sea rot and rot.

Carl, who had just woken up, was still immersed in the long rhythm of life that only this kind of immortal seed had, and his thinking was a little dull for a while.

The carriage ran briskly in the silver moonlight, and the night breeze gently rustled through the treetops. In the vast and quiet fields, summer insects are also singing, and the singing of crickets and gnats is like the most beautiful serenade, adding a peaceful atmosphere to this quiet night.

The people in the carriage were also asleep, and for a while it was quiet. After a hard day's work, the scribes were exhausted, and even the most talkative little fat man, Georgie, was dozing off in his seat.

Carl slowly came back to his senses and examined his changes, as if nothing had changed......

No, no, there has been a sea change in him.

The most obvious thing is that his eyesight has become very, very good. Originally, in this kind of rural night, even with the bright moon hanging high and the lights on the front of the car, he couldn't see far.

But he now found that the darkness had no obstacle to his vision, and he could clearly see the pores on the faces of everyone in the car, every stone on the road ahead, every leaf fluttering in the night wind, and the undulating ears of wheat in the distance.

Even the night sky was completely different to him, and he remembered that when he used to look at the night sky, although he could see that the stars of this world at night were far brighter and more numerous than those of the earth, but those spiral, elliptical, cloud-like nebulae.

Moreover, not only his vision, but also his five senses as a whole are many times sharper than before.

The whole world suddenly became much clearer, like glass that had been dusted away. Many subtle things that he couldn't normally see, hear, smell, or feel were now transmitted to his senses in a meticulous way.

He could clearly grasp the slightest change in the sound of the wind, and the breeze in the air seemed to be an extension of his limbs, allowing him to clearly feel every change in wind direction, every vortex in the air.

In his senses, the air is no longer an intangible and untouchable calm thing, but countless large and small flowing vortices, flowing and changing all the time, the air in each space is unevenly distributed, and because of the difference in temperature and pressure, the wind of flowing air is formed.

Carl felt as if he had become one with the wind in the air, and was able to control the speed of the wind with his consciousness, drive the direction of the wind, and change the density of the air.

Moreover, not only the wind, he can feel even the tiniest moisture in the air, he can see how the tiniest water vapor is distributed in the atmosphere, he can feel the tiny dew drops on the fields and treetops, and the puddles of water accumulated in the fields, the rivers flowing in the distance, and the vast sea in the distance are as dazzling as the sun.

In Karl's perception now, the whole world is simply a world wrapped in water vapor and atmosphere, and for the first time, he feels that he is not living in the air, but in an infinite sea filled with water vapor.

This subtle "swimming"-like feeling made Carl feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, he is still a human being, not a real dragon born to live in the sea, this feeling of being "infiltrated" by water vapor all the time, although it is very safe and comfortable, there is an inexplicable reassurance, but the instinct from human land creatures still makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

However, Carl soon let go of this discomfort and experimented with his new abilities like a child who gets a new toy.

He first stretched out his hand, and his will cut into the air, interestingly disturbing the small vortex in the air, and sure enough, a small tornado vortex formed in his hand.

Carl then dispersed the tornado in his hand again, trying to call the air to lift him up, but this time he failed. Because he found that although he could control the flow of air and the density of air to a certain extent, he could not create a lifting force of air out of thin air to fight gravity.

He can control the wind to speed him up, control the density of the air to increase his buoyancy, but he can't make the air create a gravity-defying force out of thin air.

"What is this? superpowers, atmospheric domination, or wind control?"

Carl is also a person who has received nine years of formal compulsory education, and he is still a top student with good academic performance, although he did not eventually follow his childhood dream of becoming a great scientist, but he still has basic scientific literacy.

Soon, after a few small experiments, he figured out some of the characteristics and limitations of his new abilities.

He was able to control the flow and density of the air, but he couldn't make it work in any way that was too unscientific. For example, he failed to make the air lift itself up like a stall, and he could only increase the density of the air that wrapped around him a little more, and suspend himself with updrafts and greater air buoyancy, which was still aerodynamic in nature.

"No, it's not just air, it's water, it's also water!"

Carl sliced his consciousness into the air, gathering the vapor in the air, forming a ball of water on his fingertips. The bright and flickering water ball, under his command, changes all kinds of shapes at will, such as long strips, round arches, squares, saddle surfaces, etc., all kinds of forms are arbitrary.

Even Carl can consciously form a film of water to cover the surface of his body, so that not only does not he feel stuffy, but he feels refreshed.

However, when Karl commanded the water polo and tried to transform the image of a bird, a swimming fish, a car, a horse-drawn carriage, etc., he failed shamefully. It's not that he can't control the deformation of the water balloon, but that his control is not precise enough, and he can't imagine the details of objects enough, and the shapes of animals and objects that change are either long in this place or short in that place, and the image is distorted and exaggerated comparable to cartoons.

It's not surprising that, just as everyone can pick up a paintbrush and paint, but can't visually draw a realistic image of a bird or fish at the outset, it's one thing to be able to do it, and it's another thing to be able to do it.
