Kill the Sun - Chapter 735

It was time for Nick to unveil his upgraded abilities.

There was a lot to go through, and the upgrades were quite significant.

In fact, it was difficult for Nick to believe how much he had improved with just a single advancement.

His new ability to transform his body was already powerful on its own, but with the upgrade to his other abilities, it was like he underwent an earth-shattering transformation.

"First, a significant weakness of my main ability has been eliminated, allowing us to talk without any fear," Nick said.

Ghosty and the Technician were interested.

"Right now, I know I am being perceived, but I can also feel who is perceiving me. I can feel you two looking at me, and I can feel your positions without opening my eyes."

"As long as anyone is perceiving me, I can feel from where they are perceiving me. Additionally, thanks to that, I can also tell how many people are perceiving me," Nick explained.

While Ghosty found this to be quite powerful, only the Technician realized how useful this was.

They had always needed to be careful that the Champion of Light wasn't currently looking at them whenever they were talking.

But now, in case the Champion of Light looked at them, Nick could just switch the topic or stop someone from talking.

"You can find the Corruptors and the Trio of Destruction with that," the Technician said quietly, almost like he was fearing that someone overheard him.

Nick nodded. "I don't think I will be able to find out their location if I talk to them via a Greater Relay, but as long as they are looking at me with their physical bodies, I should be able to feel their presence."

The Technician's heart raced.

"So, you could also find Death if you leave the headquarters?" he asked.

"I should be able to," Nick confirmed with a nod.

This was terrifyingly useful.

The biggest issue had always been finding the powerful Specters.

But with Nick, they could tell where they were.

The Technician furrowed his brows in discomfort.

Sure, this sounded amazing, but they couldn't really use this ability.

The reason was that Nick's primary ability had a significant weakness and that they had to keep it secret.

If they told the Champion that they could find the powerful Specters with Nick's help, the Champion would get wary of Nick's power.

Nick's power was vastly beyond what a normal Demon could do.

It would show that Nick was extraordinary.

"We might be able to deal with the Envious Researcher with that ability," Ghosty said. "The biggest issue is always finding it. If we know where to strike, we might be able to fight it."

"It's not that easy," the Technician said. "The Envious Researcher is most likely a Peak Adversary. It's as powerful as Death, and it is incredibly good at escaping. We might be able to fight it more efficiently, but we won't be able to truly deal with it."

"Additionally, Nick's power is predicated on the fact that the enemy is perceiving him, putting him in danger as well."

Ghosty shrugged. "Well, you have to put yourself in danger for humanity, right? We are all fighting for humanity with our lives on the line. Not using this ability would be wasteful."

"Yes, probably," the Technician answered.

However, deep down, he knew that they couldn't possibly risk Nick's life that easily.

Only the Left Arm, the Technician, and the Knife knew of Nick's true value.

They seemed almost solid, and they seemed to stick to whatever they touched.

And what was the point of that?

Well, the sticky clouds absorbed all light.

"These clouds absorb all the light they touch," Nick said. "While I'm not able to cover the Sun with that, I can darken an entire hall."

At that point, some light reached Nick again.

"Sadly, they vanish rather quickly. Within less than two seconds, they disappear, and it costs a significant amount of Zephyx to use them."

However, this ability was still more than just useful.

With this ability, Nick had essentially become a human-killer!

As long as he was in the same room with another human, he could force them to become subject to the Nightmare's ability, which was something that almost no human could resist.

The only ones able to resist had abilities that created light or had gadgets that created light.

However, even in that case, they still needed to dedicate some time and Zephyx to use them, giving Nick an opportunity to strike.

"My Maw ability also improved in two aspects," Nick said. "First, my improved perception is now also active even if I am being perceived."

The two scientists had become quite shocked by now.

Nick's abilities sure had improved a lot!

"I can't show you the second improvement since it needs my ability to be active to show you. The second improvement is that I might forego the entry portal. Instead of having to touch something solid to travel through the maw, I can just create the exit portal and immediately travel there."

"Sadly, the exit portal hasn't changed, and the requirements for using it are the same. Additionally, if I use my ability like that, I have to use a significant amount of Zephyx. I have to use almost 30% of it," Nick explained.

"That's still crazy," the Technician said.

"It is," Nick said. "These are all my improvements. If we include my new ability to change my body,I am essentially no longer the same."

The two of them had to agree.

Nick's upgrade was crazy!

Neither of them knew anyone with a comparably versatile and complex toolkit.

He could sense who was sensing him, could cloud his body in smoke, focus his light, and could create dark clouds that absorbed light. His sensing abilities were no longer restricted to his primary ability, his power to create illusions had become more efficient, and he could instantly transport his body to the exit portal.

To top it all off, Nick could transform into anyone and could use human technology again.

All his weaknesses had been made less significant with his advancement.

While his attacking power hadn't increased in the slightest, his stealth capabilities and survival had been boosted immensely.

Nick didn't need to increase his offensive powers.

His attacks were already terrifying enough.

One could say that Nick improved in the best possible way.

Nick's survival was the most important, and his abilities had all fully focused on that.

In essence, Nick's entire life had become much easier with his advancement.
