Neurolink System in the Modern World

< 3rd Person >

Above the surface, two powerful individuals clashed in the sky.

One figure radiated with golden light, his skin crackling with luminescence, and his eyes glowed like the intense rays of the sun.

On the other side, a mysterious character concealed her identity with a black mask, leaving only her beautiful eyes visible.

However, she couldn't fully conceal the beautiful and attractive contours of her body beneath those black robes.

BOOOOOOM!

BOOOOOOM!

BOOOOOOM!

Zhang and his opponent engaged in a mid-air clash, their rapid blows sending shockwaves rippling through the sky.

The force of each strike was akin to two speeding planes colliding, shaking the very air around them.

Yet, it was Zhang who maintained the offensive, relentlessly pressing forward in this aerial battle.

Fueled by the same level of power he had used in the North Korean Sea, Zhang soared towards his enemy with a powerful momentum, enough to destroy a skyscraper with one punch.

But as he closed in, the masked woman countered, slowing him down with an invisible force .

It wasn't a gradual deceleration; instead, Zhang felt like he was moving through thick syrup, only able to muster 20% of his usual speed.

His enemy ability, in particular, posed a significant threat to him. His usual strategy of relying on speed to land a hit became a serious disadvantage in this particular matchup.

Zhang tried to use more power to gain more momentum, he pushed against the slowing force, but the more he moved, the tighter the restriction became.

If the enemy he killed on that island could be considered close to zero, then the current enemy was undoubtedly above zero, possessing a significantly higher level of power.

BOOOOOOM!

BOOOOOOM!

BOOOOOOM!

The airborne struggle continued, each movement and strike revealing that Zhang was going all out.

'What's going on? Why isn't she attacking?' he wondered.

Despite deliberately providing openings for her to strike, the masked woman remained on the defensive, effortlessly neutralizing his attacks, and just doing the bare minimum to counter.

He felt like she was biding her time or scheming something.

Unfortunately, he couldn't afford to contemplate .

Feeling the need to finish the fight, Zhang sensed the increasing danger. If this continued, he might explode at any moment.

His power, while granting increased strength and speed, came with the price of accumulating kinetic energy inside him.

"What's the matter? Is this the power of the number one Gifted in Asia?" The masked woman chuckled, her words void of any hint of fear.

Instead, they were filled with mocking contempt as she gazed down on Zhang, treating him as if he were nothing more than an ant in her eyes.

"Who are you?" he asked, his memory failing to recall anyone of such formidable strength in Asia.

He also took advantage of this opportunity to cool down his power a little while searching for a way to defeat her.

Judging by the opponent's abilities, it was obvious she could use Telekinesis .

"Are you from the Zol Clan?" he questioned after coming up with his own conclusion .

The woman abruptly stopped moving in mid-air. She then reached up and slowly removed her mask, revealing her face to Zhang.

But what he saw shocked him to the core.

He was greeted by a familiar face—it was the same person who had terrorized the U.S. a few weeks ago: Zely.

"What are you doing here?" Zhang exclaimed. She was supposed to be hiding from Cerebrum, not attacking them head-on. Why had the roles suddenly shifted?

"I go where I want," Zely giggled in an arrogant tone. She was now the Clan leader of the Zol Clan, so carried herself with domineering attitude .

And, of course, genuine disgust and hatred towards the human race and other Gifteds who helped them develop this far.

After awakening from her deep slumber, she was surprised to discover that the Zol Clan was no longer the overlords of Earth.

Initially, she did not believe the news, but after investigating, she realized that the human race became so much stronger, to the point that they became the new overlord of this world.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

An insulting and laughable matter, considering they did not have even an ounce of special abilities. They were like cattle before, and now they dared call themselves the chosen race? It was like a bad joke to her.

So after regaining enough power, she began searching for her clan members, working towards reuniting and reviving the Zol Bloodline.

A plan that would surely put the human race lives in danger.

Unfortunately for the humans, she had the ability to track down her own lineage, so she was able to locate others far more quickly.

Currently, she had managed to recruit three people to her side. And after successfully rescuing Zero and her daughter, they would be a total of six of them.

While it might not be a large number, six Zol's were once enough to wreak havoc on a continent.

"Is the Zol Clan coming back?" Zhang asked, concerned about the potential catastrophe if this evil clan managed to return.

Even though he hadn't been alive during their peak, reading about their atrocities made him shudder with disgust. The Zol Clan were not humans; they were monsters in disguise.

"That's right. We are finally reclaiming what is rightfully ours," a smile formed on Zely's face.

Zhang glared at her. "Don't think for a second that the world will bow down to the Zol Clan again. Times have changed, and you'll find yourself hunted down sooner or later."

Zely's expression soured after hearing his words. She was aware that the human race had become more formidable, and she still couldn't comprehend how they managed to kill so many of her brethren.

However, being talked down like this wounded her pride—and she was well known for having a big one.

"You inferior beings have been living for far too long. How dare you exterminate my brethren while I'm sleeping ," Zely sneered in contempt.

The air around her began to vibrate as she finally got serious. Her eyes glowed with an intense rage, and the atmosphere itself seemed to quiver in response to the invisible energy around her.
