He took a look, and estimated the distance from the quarantine zone to inside the dock.
Damn it, that's at least two hundred meters, isn't it!
Why didn't the American Federation's damnable daredevil attribute appear in these Police officers?
He tried to communicate with the [mutated gem] to absorb energy from the fire.
Unfortunately, there was no change.
Indeed, is the distance still not enough?
Michael frowned, it seems he can only get closer... Boom!!!
Just as Michael had crossed the crowd and passed through the quarantine zone, another violent explosion erupted inside the dock.
Almost instantly, an Impact swept over.
Of course, this chain of secondary explosions wasn't very powerful, or rather, the Impact that swept through wasn't very strong.
Let alone Michael, who was completely unharmed, even the onlookers behind the quarantine zone were only pushed back a step or two.
However, because of this, for now, no more rebellious youths who were courting death rushed into the quarantine zone.
Courting death is one thing, but it's not the same as looking for death, is it?
But how long could this brief containment last?
Michael shook his head, unconcerned, and continued forward... The dock contained not only a large amount of smuggled crude oil. As a smuggling dock controlled by a Gang, how could it only smuggle crude oil?
There must also be a large amount of high-value goods that are easy to move.
Some of these things might not be flammable, but some definitely belonged to highly flammable and explosive items!
The previous explosion of a stack of containers filled with crude oil caused oil to splatter everywhere, and the entire dock was engulfed in flames.
The huge flames and high temperatures, coupled with those flammable and explosive items, naturally made it easier for other containers to be roasted until they exploded!
The burning dock was now experiencing many large explosions, and small explosions were constant. It could be said that it was 'truly adding fuel to the Fire'!
...Under these circumstances, Michael, who had been cautiously approaching step by step, finally arrived at the edge of the Fire.
Looking at the dwindling energy, Michael silently prayed in his heart: It must absorb! It must absorb! It must absorb!
Hiss~~~
Whoosh~~~
Taking a deep breath, Michael communicated with the [mutated gem] and began to try and recover the energy from the Fire.
Boom!!!
A huge flame suddenly shot up high!
Michael was startled.
But!
Seeing the energy points displayed in his mind rapidly increasing.
A smile instantly spread across Michael's entire handsome face!
Even 'Rorschach's Forgotten Mask' that Michael was wearing seemed to become more agile and dynamic because of Michael's smile.
+1
+1
+1
Looking at the constantly rising energy points, Michael was truly ecstatic!
"Hahaha!!!"
"I knew it!"
"I knew it!"
"If even corpses can be recovered and absorbed!"
"How could it not absorb the energy of flames!"
Michael laughed wildly.
"I was such an idiot!"
"I even absorbed electrical energy when I was in the small hotel!"
"How did I not think of absorbing Fire energy!"
"So stupid!"
"Really!"
"Wuwuwu~~~"
Amidst his laughter, there was a hint of crying.
As the energy points surged dramatically, Michael couldn't help but cry out!
Who could know how suppressed Michael had been after transmigrating to the Marvel Universe?
Now, he had finally absorbed a large amount of energy.
One must know, even if he knew that basking in the Sun could increase energy, that meager income was like a drop in the bucket for Michael!
How long would it take to accumulate enough energy by absorbing sunlight for Michael to become powerful enough to fly into space, face the Sun directly, and endlessly strengthen himself?
Or perhaps, after finally finding a method for a large influx of energy, Michael finally completely relaxed, and without realizing it, he cried out... Not long after, Michael, having vented a wave of emotions, felt his entire being lighten up.
An innocent smile once again appeared on Michael's face.
He seemed to feel as if his entire being had been reborn!
No!
This was not an illusion!
Michael clenched his fists tightly.
Strength! It truly had increased!
Just like when Michael absorbed sunlight before, when Michael absorbed Fire energy, his body was also being tempered simultaneously.
In other words, as long as Michael actively absorbed energy, these energies, before being finally absorbed, would perform a rough tempering of Michael's body!
And a body that had undergone tempering would also increase the upper limit of energy absorption! This was entirely a proportional good thing!
But!
If too much energy was absorbed at once, exceeding the limit that the body's tempering could withstand.
Then, the body naturally would not be able to bear it, and even if absorption continued forcefully, it would be directly torn apart by the excess energy... Sure enough, not long after, the Fire in the Fire continued to rage.
However, Michael felt his body was almost at its limit, and his entire being was being torn apart by the energy tempering, making him wish he were dead!
"Ah~~~"
"Ah ah ah~~~~"
"Stop~"
"It!!!"
After gritting his teeth and roaring out this sentence.
Indeed, the [mutated gem] stopped actively absorbing energy. Michael's body also lightened, and he softly fell to the ground.
"Hehe~~~"
"Hehehehe~~~"
But Michael didn't cry from the pain.
Instead, looking at the energy amount displayed in his mind, he almost fell into a silly grin.
500 points!
A full five hundred points of energy!
Having never seen so much energy, Michael was practically giddy with laughter!
...But!
It's not enough!
Completely not enough!
He looked up at the Fire, which showed no signs of weakening; in fact, as more containers exploded, the burning materials and the Fire raged even more fiercely!
Energy!
Immense energy in the sky-high flames!
Michael's eyes gleamed with greed!
"It's mine!"
"All of this is mine!"
"I absolutely cannot let this energy go to waste!"
Feeling the continuous pain in his body, Michael's gaze was resolute!
He had to do something!
He absolutely could not waste this heaven-sent, massive amount of energy!
If heaven bestows something and one does not take it, blame will surely follow!
Enhance!
Yes!
Enhance his body!
Only a stronger body can withstand stronger, more abundant energy!
Thinking that the mutated gem could manifest a body enhancement potion,
Michael once again fell into ecstasy!
