Ryan was shot so many times he could not count.

Unlike psychopaths or special cases like Augustus, all the powers of the Messenger, from his point of salvation to the cessation of time, come from a unified force. It was only through training and experimentation that Ryan discovered its multiple applications. In particular, it took him years to realize that he had an enhanced sense of time.

The more situations Ryan goes through, the better he is at anticipating and coping. If someone has used a martial arts move, he will subtly anticipate the next time someone else uses it; The courier can predict when someone will throw the bullet to the ground and grab it before they realize it. This makes learning physical skills trivial.

It's not a panacea, as in some cases, even the fastest reaction won't work – like being decapitated by an invisible blade, or being hit by a laser that is as fast as the speed of light. Without any hyper-velocity, Ryan could not really "dodge" bullets or artillery.

But he can predict the course of someone else's fire before they pull the trigger. Then his body will move subtly, and the projectile will miss, giving the illusion that he can even dodge bullets. Add to that the fact that time stops, and from an outsider's point of view, it seems impossible for the courier to be hit.

So when Vulcan attacked him with her cannon arm, Ryan paused for a moment, dodging the line of fire. A dense cannonball blew up the walls of the orphanage behind them, and the cinder bricks collapsed, opening a path to the kitchen. The pet trapped behind the fence panicked, and some crazy cat managed to crawl out.

"Vulcan, this is an orphanage!" Atom shouted, but before he could rush to save Ryan, the Powers Gang surrounded him from the side. The hero dodges the fatal blow of the mosquito and the dog's small fireball; Atom Cat's movements are chaotic, indicating his lack of formal training, but his natural agility makes up for it.

To his credit, Vulcan was stunned for a moment, vaguely ashamed. Instead of risking the destruction of the vault and attacking Ryan with heavy artillery, she switched to hand-to-hand combat. The miniature turbine reactor on the back of the suit was activated for a short time, causing the 5-meter-tall metal monster to move at the speed of a racing car.

Ryan showed extreme agility over countless laps, and his backflip dodged a huge punch to the face before getting another kick. "I must give it to you," the courier began, then changed the meaning of his words, "because you can't reach it!"

Vulcan's attacks became even crazier when she no longer had an orphanage in her line of fire, and she switched to heavy weapons. Her mech's shoulders opened, revealing a miniturret and firing hundreds of bullets at Ryan. Using a mixture of time-stop and time-keeping methods to avoid the attack, the Courier attempted to circle the machine and find the hatch in the cockpit.

At the same time, Psyshock threw away its coat, hat, and sunglasses to show the world its true self. His flesh had long since fallen off, replaced by thousands of black wires that he usually molded into humanoid replicas. The only organ that survived the mutation was his skull, which left his biomechanical brain exposed. His neon eyes reminded Ryan of two bright torches.

Psyshock reshaped his metal wires to form eight slender arms, transforming himself into a terrifying spider. When Vulcan takes over Ryan and Atom Cat fights his cronies, the psychopath leaps over and heads straight for the orphanage.

Realizing this, Ryan decides to abandon Vulcan in pursuit of mental shock, but "The Genius" won't let him do so. Her hands lunged at the Courier, large enough to crush him entirely, while her mini-cannon provided suppressive fire.

Despite Vulcan's terrifying armor, Ryan could tell she didn't have much experience in direct combat. Her movements are clumsy, and while her weapons are well aimed, she has no foresight, no human cunning or improvisation; She may have outsourced control to a rudimentary artificial intelligence. Her armor is also clearly designed to deal with a huge air target, rather than an agile and stylish gentleman.

In short, the Vulcans brought a Wyvern Buster in Quick Deliverance.

She could have won if Vulcan had carpet-bombed the area from above, but instead she chose to declare her presence, making the fight intimate and personal. Ryan could sense that she wanted to prove herself in battle, perhaps to defeat Wayne.

There is something wrong with this girl.

Time stopped for ten seconds, and Ryan moved to the left side of the armor, dodging her hands and bullets. He then carefully slammed his fist into the elbow with the aim of maximizing the pressure damage. When time is restored, the recoil is in full effect, and the Mech's arm is shattered at the elbow. The forearm fell to the ground, and the electrical shock was emitted from the damaged area.

As he had guessed when he first saw it in the armory, it resembled medieval armor, and Vulcan used the weakness of the joints to pay for the enhanced mobility of her equipment.

"What is this?" Ryan mused. "Short circuit?"

"You're not funny at all, Romano!" Vulcan complained through the megaphone of her armor, clearly jealous of his incomparable intelligence. "You think you are, but you're not!"

"Come on, don't be narrow-minded." As she retaliates with another volley of bullets, Ryan freezes time and rushes to the orphanage, the mental shock already gone from the hole Vulcan had dug in the wall.

At the same time, the situation with the atomic cat is not much better. The mosquito flew away like an insect and dived into the water trying to pierce the hero with its stingers. While the atomic cat can easily dodge, the mutt restricts his movements. The strange psychopath flickered, propelling himself with a brief gust of wind while trying to hit the male protagonist with his hand tools. Sometimes, he throws a fireball everywhere, and the badland park is full of small fires.

Fireball, Limited Stealth, Air Conditioning...... Ryan recognized these abilities as coming from Dy

Counterfeit elixir sold by AMIS. The mongrel must have had a cocktail. Since the power gained is only a shadow of the true elixir, his body manages to dispose of more than two elixirs at the expense of his intelligence.

However, even when forced to be on the defensive, Atom Cat struggled to regain the initiative in this two-on-one battle. He tried to hit Mo

g

El, his hands shone with scarlet energy, but despite his beastly roar, the psychopath was careful not to give his enemies a chance.

Ryan had already managed to reach the orphanage when time started again, but he had to head back when a dozen wires emerged from the hole, threatening to catch him with a net.

Psyshock emerged from the hole and grabbed the four children with its tentacle arms; Sarah, her friend, and two twin daughters who are less than eight years old. His cold, alien eyes glanced at Ryan with contempt, and one of his wires was reaching into one of the twins' noses, blood and fur all over his body.

Without thinking, Ryan grabbed three throwing knives and aimed them at Psyshock's head.

In response, the madman moves Sarah to Ryan's line of fire, and the girl screams in fear.

Rya

Stunned, Psyshock immediately took advantage of this and reached out tentacles to him. Since his time stopped cooling, the courier could not freeze the clock because the arm hit him at the speed of a harpoon. When he was thrown on his back, he managed to grab the wire with his hand, which tried to reach his skull.

“Quicksave !” The atomic cat shouted, but the mosquito seized the opportunity to catch him from the side and threw the hero out of the fence. Dogs and cats immediately rushed in and fled in all directions.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhh Psyshock by Rya

and the mouth of the child he was connected to Rya

Whispered. Needles appeared at the ends of his wires, which were intracranial hijacking. "Let's go, let me in." We'll be one. ”

Yes, if the dangers of his intrusive telepathy—regardless of its physical limitations—don't make Ryan lethally hostile to Psychoshock, it's child abuse.

Apparently, the Vulcan people think so too. In Psyshock, she shows her basic humanity and no longer focuses on Rya

, but raised her last hand. "Put down the kids, mutants," she warned. "I won't ask a second time."

"Don't get in my way, woman." Psyshock replied contemptuously, placing his hostages to protect himself from Vulcan weapons. At the same time, the "mongrel dogs" went to the fence, ready to take out the "atomic cats", and the "mosquitoes" circled above them. Some of the dogs that did not run away and stayed behind barked angrily at the genome present, but were too scared to attack.

In response, Vulcan's fingers opened, revealing holes that released a stream of plasma. The "genius" was very careful not to hit the children, but to cut the wires with precision like a laser. The damaged part fell from the ground like a beheaded snake and soon rusted into organic dust.

Take advantage of Psyshock's interference, Rya

Stopped time, cut the nearest wire with a knife, and rushed towards the children. With a flick, he severed the rope that held the twins together, grabbing them as time began again.

The wires that invaded the hostage's nose were able to move on their own after being disconnected from the whole, but quickly fell to the ground. In response, Seplock fires his wires in all directions, aiming Ryan and Vulcan with raindrops of tentacles. The messenger fled with the twins in her arms, and Augustus simply withstood the attack, her thick armor blocking everything.

At the same time, when the atomic cat recovers from the final blow, the dogs left in the shelter also pluck up their courage and try to bite him when he gets close. With a beastly roar, the psychopath raised his hands and spewed a fireball in his right hand and a whirlpool in his left. The combination of the two created a torrent of flames that consumed the pets whole. The poor dogs screamed in pain, improvised ejectors burned them alive, and the hiss of the "mongrel dogs" turned into maniacal laughter.

The atomic cat rushed over while the mongrel was distracted, this time grabbing his head with his hand. The psychopath's body turned red, his color was masked by crimson, and then exploded.

Notice, the mongrel was vaporized. His flesh exploded weakly, barely enough force to blow out the air, but the explosion left no trace. clothes, skin, and even the tools he carried with him; They all turned to dust.

It is clear that when cornered, the atomic cat does not hesitate to kill.

As soon as the mosquito heard this, it immediately pounced on him again, bent on killing people. The young superhero froze for a moment, as if an idea had crossed his mind, and then grabbed a pebble on the ground and threw it at the mosquito. The rocks turned red and were filled with the power of the atomic cat.

The psychopath defended himself with his arms, and the pebbles exploded under the impact, pushing him onto his own minibus. The car's alarm was activated, and combined with the noise of the battle, Ryan could barely hear himself.

Atomic Cat can adjust the intensity of the explosion and even postpone it. All right.

Rya

Himself managed to dodge two attacks from Psyshock and dragged the twins to a safe place, where one child was frustrated and the other cried in fear. "It's okay, you're safe," Ryan tried to comfort them, combing his hand through their black hair, "The hero is here." ”

When his day's good deeds were done, the messenger immediately returned to the battlefield. Psyshock used up all the wires to control Vulcan, and he tried to keep the mech fixed to the ground while desperately trying to find a way into the pilot's cockpit. He looks like a giant squid trying to restrain a whale.

As before, that dastardly bastard used his captives as human shields to stop Augustus from using weapons at close range.

Enraged, Ryan rushed into mental shock and threw a knife at his skull. The wires diverted their direction, but this caught the attention of the criminals. "Teleportation?" The madman hissed at Ryan. "You've turned into a violet?"

"Normally, I'd go back on my lips, but in your case, you'll go the rhinoceros path," Ryan said in a serious tone, fist raised. "Pain".

Before Psyshock reacted, Rya

Stopped the clock again, jumped up, and pierced Psycho's skull in frozen time. His fists pierce the metal bones and brains of psychopaths like doughnuts.

Ryan loves to play with his enemies, but he knows that no telepaths can't be given a chance to fight back. Especially someone as nasty as Psyshock.

When time returned, Psyshock's mutant body collapsed to the ground, littered with wires and brain matter, putting Sa

Ah and another child dragged on as well. Ryan quickly grabbed Sarah with his hand, while Vulcan grabbed the other.

"You know, dwarf, if you weren't trying to murder me, I'd call you half a hero," Ryan said, putting Sarah on the ground, and Vulcan on the ground with her baby. "Little girl, can you take your friend away?" The big robot is waiting for you to shoot me. ”

Little Sara nodded frequently, quickly grabbed her companion's hand, and fled to safety. Vulcan remained silent, watching warily as the children ducked. Ryan didn't know if it was regret, longing, or something else, but she seemed strangely depressed.

Then, when it was determined that the children were far away, Vulcan without saying a word attempted to fire a plasma beam into Ryan's face.

Anticipating the attack, Ryan quickly stopped time and threw a knife at her camera, knocking her unconscious before Vulcan could fire. At the same time, the atomic cat tries to hit the mosquito and blows him up next to the minibus, but when he gets too close to the mosquito, the mosquito flies away.

A huge shadow flew across the battlefield, followed by a loud roar.

When a huge flying object came into view, everyone present, from the smallest animal to Vulcan itself, was stunned.

It was a huge, sixty-foot-long white-scaled lizard with a long neck, dragonfly-like wings, and golden eyes. Her claws can pierce steel, her tail ends in a flail, and her chest is covered with a piece of Dy emblazoned with Dy

amis and Il Miglio

E logo for clothing.

Wyvern.

As soon as she showed off, the dragon landed on Vulcan, trampling her mech under her feet with so much force, forming a small pit underneath. If Ryan hadn't damaged her camera, the Augusti might have flown away, but now, Wyndwen had her crushed to the ground by her massive weight.

The mosquitoes immediately wanted to fly away. The dragon raised his hand faster.

Pumpkin!

Wyverns swatt mosquitoes from above, just like humans swatt flies. The blow crushed the insect, its limbs and wings were broken, and green blood flowed from the open wound.

Then, without hesitation, the velociraptor threw Vulcan's mech to the ground, shattering the mini-cannon. The Augustus tries to activate her miniature turbine reactor and fly away, but is unable to escape the dragon's iron fist.

"Don't destroy the reactor, Weiwei!" Ryan yelled at her, he knew it was dangerous. "Evacuate the cockpit!" Cockpit!"

As if hearing his words, the dragon's attack almost turned into a surgical operation, and the dragon carefully used its claws to remove the person from the clothes, without damaging the rest of the clothes. Before Augustus, who was in rags, could react when the wyvern threw her to the ground, and the Atomic Cat stepped forward to stop her.

The intervention lasted only a few seconds. Ryan examines the Mechael, but thankfully, Vulcan has the foresight to install fail-safe devices in her armored fusion reactor. This time, the city won't die at Wyve

Far from causing fear, the children were very happy, and after a short silence they cheered. Only the child who was connected to Psyshock was still depressed, and her twin brother tried to wake her up. Ryan immediately rushed to their side and gave them medical help.

Thankfully, he spent enough time studying medicine and biology to give her a check-up. Although invasive, Psyshock's orifice invasion does not usually damage critical areas of the subject's brain; The poor child suffered a minor concussion, but survived.

"Is she okay?" Sara asks Ryan as joy is replaced by worry as the orphans gather around them.

"Yes," he said, wiping the blood from the patient's nose with his trench coat. "But she needs to rest."

"They killed the dogs," said one of the children, watching in horror at the burning remains of the animals and the destroyed fence.

Wyve

Observed for a while, from the hole in the orphanage to the rusty wreckage of Psyshock. "Help, we're going to have a long, long conversation," she said, her powerful voice more like a roaring T-Rex than a human. "You too, Atom Cat!" What are you two thinking, entering enemy territory without authorization and support! You almost died!"

"They want to kidnap children!" Atomic Cat defended itself.

"Then you should call me for reinforcements," Wywen replied in a firm tone. "You should be glad I followed Vulcan to make sure she didn't mess up"

Speaking of Vulcan, she was furious when the atomic cat pressed her face to the ground, unable to escape his control. Wyve

Transformed back into a person, her clothes adapting to her new size, she looked at Augustus with a mixture of sympathy and sympathy. "You can only blame yourself, Jessamine."

"you, Laura," replied the genius Augustus bitterly and angrily. "Fuck you."

"Does anyone have a rope?" Atomic Cat asked, tired of using his hands to restrain Vulcan.

"I had handcuffs and blindfolds in my car," Ryan said, and Wyndwen raised an eyebrow at him. "I've dated strange people."

The superheroine glanced at Ryan and Atom Cat with her hands on her waist. "You're all grounded."

"Yes, Mother Dragon," Ryan said, then turned to the mosquito, wrying painfully in her own puddle of blood. "He's alive."

"Reluctantly." Wivin replied cautiously.

"Why did you kidnap the child, bastard?" The atomic cat growls at the psychopath.

"Suck my sting......," the mosquito hissed.

"Answer that question and we'll treat you." While she is outraged by her accusations because she acts alone, she has no compassion for the mentally ill. "With your current condition, even if your metabolism is sped up, you'll bleed to death in a matter of minutes."

The mosquito was silent for a few seconds, probably weighing whether to risk being killed by the boss to snitch or die immediately. The survival instinct is a powerful force, and he decided to speak out. "This ...... This place...... The shaft is too small for adults...... And these crazy robots, as soon as they see the genome, they shoot ......"

"Robots?" Bipedal Wyvern repeats.

"Where?" Ryan tested him curiously.

"Adam wants to go to a bunker...... Underneath the dump...... I don't know what it is......" the mosquito hissed in pain. "Please, pain...... It's amazing......"

"When I saw the kids, I called the paramedics," Wyve

Touching her headphones, he said. "They should be there soon."

With these words, Ryan handcuffs Vulcan as he helps save an orphanage. He hoped that his karma meter would rise after that!

After the battle, the other children came out of the orphanage and immediately flocked to Wyve

beside her, pestering her to autograph. Everyone else sprang into action to help their injured members, and Ryan heard the name "Julia" being thrown around.

"Hey, Katie, if you can make explosive projectiles, why don't you carry throwing knives?" Ryan asked Atomic Cat, a detail that bothered him. "It will be much more practical than grabbing a makeshift shell."

"I didn't realize that I could use my powers like this," Atomcat admitted, a little embarrassed, "I knew I could delay the explosion for a few seconds, but it never occurred to me that I could combine it with projectiles for long-range attacks." It was only when the action was intensive that I realized it. ”

"Well, you're still a newbie."

"You... He lowered his voice, trying to find a quip, "Violet." ”

"Wow, I'm going to let you stew for an hour until you find a decent counterattack." Truth be told, Katie should be proud that she was able to achieve such a great result with her talent.

Ryan himself looked at his phone to see if the fight was in the news; Instead, he was at Il Miglio

A notification was received on the device at the e-HQ.

The back door was detected.

Well.

Ryan isn't the only one to pass Dy

AMIS computer system monitors the person who monitors it. He set out to trace the IP address to investigate in case it was the work of the Assassins.

"Hey, kids, I know the perfect way to cheer you guys," Ryan proposed, holding up his phone. "Who wants to take a picture with Wavin?"

"Me!" Me!" Me!" The children all raised their hands, much to the embarrassment of Wivian and amusing to the Atomic Cat. Even the grumpy little Sara seemed a little enthusiastic.

They spent a few minutes waiting for the private security guard to take a funny selfie, the Vulcan glaring at them and the mosquitoes bleeding to death in the background.
