Chapter 170 Superpower Accumulator
Franklin's body underwent a change. His body began to grow larger, and this growth wasn't just a simple change in size.
Rather, it was a biological growth change. In just a few seconds, Franklin grew from an eight or nine-year-old boy into a fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenager. His height finally caught up with his younger sister Valeria, although he still didn't surpass her.
Valeria didn't believe Franklin had regained his ability just because of this change. The Techarchy Race could also achieve what Franklin had demonstrated. She needed to see something more crucial.
Franklin didn't disappoint her this time. Meeting his sister's expectant gaze, he extended his right hand, which had been in his pants pocket.
He stretched out his right hand in front of Valeria and slowly opened it. Valeria saw the scene she had witnessed years ago once again.
It was the Palm Universe. Countless stars gathered in a transparent bubble. These landscapes, which originally required venturing out of Earth, were now presented one by one in Franklin's palm.
Tears quietly slipped from Valeria's eyes at some point. Years ago, Franklin often used this to amuse her. There were so many times that she had become tired of seeing it.
Although she hadn't said it, she felt in her inner heart that her brother was simply the most amazing person in the Universe. She hadn't told anyone about this, and Franklin, because he didn't casually use telepathy, naturally didn't know either.
However, this idea, after the Zombie Crisis arrived and Franklin lost his ability, brought even greater despair and worry for her brother.
But it didn't matter; all of that was in the past.
Valeria unfastened her safety rope and pounced towards her brother, completely disregarding that she was on a flying Sentinel Robot.
Because she knew that her brother would solve this small problem.
Sure enough, ignoring the laws of physics, Valeria safely landed on Franklin.
"Be careful, Little Val," Franklin said with a smile as he caught his younger sister.
"With you by my side, what do I need to be careful about?" Valeria blinked playfully.
"When I was little, I wanted the Moon, and you could pack me a whole Jewelry Box. What's wrong? Have you become rusty from not using your ability for too many years?"
"Not at all," Franklin replied. He put one arm around his sister and held up the Palm Universe he had just created with the other.
"If you still want the Moon, of course, I can still give it to you."
As soon as Franklin finished speaking, all the celestial bodies in the originally colorful Palm Universe turned into Moons.
"I don't want it," Valeria rolled her eyes.
"The Moon isn't good-looking at all. You've ruined a little girl's fantasy."
"Then I'm sorry," Franklin said, his forehead covered in black lines.
"And didn't you also cry and ask Mom to scold me afterward?"
"I don't remember crying."
"Should I play the Video Recording for you?"
"No, that's spreading misinformation."
Watching the two siblings engaging in a heartwarming exchange, Yang Le was so moved that tears were about to flow. It was almost unbearable to interrupt.
"Cough, cough!" Yang Le coughed, interrupting ruthlessly.
"Oh, sorry," Franklin said, putting away the Palm Universe and scratching his head.
"I was a little excited for a moment and only focused on using my ability and talking with Little Val."
"It's nothing," Yang Le waved his hand.
"Now that you've regained your ability, our mission will be much simpler."
"How about it? Should we directly modify the world to end this conflict?"
"Of course not," Franklin said, appearing calm and collected, but anyone who knew him could see that his inner heart was not at peaceful.
"I want to see with my own eyes those mongrels who tormented my parents and turned this world upside down."
"I want to let them know that living is also a kind of torment."
At this moment, Franklin was like a volcano about to erupt, capable of destroying the Ancient City of Pompeii beneath his feet at any moment.
"Alright," Yang Le nodded. He knew Franklin needed a breakthrough point to vent all his rage.
And the mastermind behind this crisis is his goal.
"I just hope you don't forget our agreement."
"Of course not, I will fulfill my promise," Franklin nodded, the gratitude in his eyes towards Yang Le was genuine.
"I will always remember your help to us."
"I will also fulfill my promise," Valeria said, breaking free from her brother's embrace.
"Please rest assured about that. The Richards family... at least my brother and I are still very trustworthy."
Were you just about to say that everyone in the Richards family is trustworthy? Did you think of your old man halfway through and couldn't say it?
Yang Le remained expressionless, pretending not to hear Valeria's stammer, and continued.
"Then I'm relieved."
"Of course, you can rest assured," Franklin said, patting his chest.
"You should be able to sense that I haven't completely converted the Splinter into a part of my body. If I go back on my word, you can take back my superpower at any time. This is my sincerity to you."
Yang Le sensed it and found that Franklin was indeed not lying. His Splinter was still floating in Franklin's body. Franklin had turned it into something like blood, circulating in his body.
Does this mean that Franklin's body contains his DNA? No! Don't think too much about it; NTR is unacceptable.
"Your character amazes me," Yang Le praised. "Completely different from your damned old man."
It's somewhat like me; I am also this trustworthy.
Dispelling the whimsical idea in his inner heart, Yang Le looked at Valeria without leaving a trace of flaw.
"Little Val, how far is it to our destination?"
"Soon," Valeria said, taking out an instrument.
While they were talking, the Sentinel Robot Nana had already flown out of the land and was flying over the boundless Sea.
"I've already guessed our destination."
"Oh? Where is it?" Franklin squatted down beside his younger sister. Although he could know everything in an instant, he still gave his sister room to shine.
After all, a brother can't steal his sister's spotlight.
"On the Sea, there's only one city with a dense population," Valeria said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.
"That is Atlantis."
So it's there, Yang Le suddenly realized. After all, although Namor, the master of Atlantis, is Marvel's first superhero, his presence is not comparable to the Superman of the competitor.
He doesn't even have as many memes as Arthur Curry, the other Sea King who is his counterpart. It can be said that he has completely lost, and has no presence at all.
Not to mention, Yang Le has Big Daddy on his side. Yang Le even felt that he could watch the whole act.
