Chapter 896: They Still Have Each Other
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xiang Huai had been restrained as though he had broken his own wings. No matter how strong he was, in the next few years, or even for the rest of his life, he would have to stay in that metal box.
Xue Xi was even more so.
Possessing this special ability, she would only end up like Xiang Huai in the future. When the energy in her body had accumulated to a certain extent, she would have to digest it herself.
This was the shortcoming of Seize.
It was a shortcoming that Duplication did not have.
Hence, back then, the Great Elder had said that Duplication would destroy humanity. It was one of the reasons why the Great Elder had wanted to seize the chance to destroy the bearer of Duplication!
In the Great Elder’s plan, the one with Duplication would be captured and killed.. After that, once the other one could only live in a small metal house without daylight, China would have lost two great forces in a short amount of time.
However, now—after his scheme was exposed, the Great Elder suggested crippling his special ability as punishment…
No one thought much of it. After all, this was indeed a reasonable punishment.
However, no one knew what Vulture’s special ability was.
Xue Xi suddenly turned to look at her maternal grandfather and saw him hesitate. “My special ability is Shield.”
Shield…
Xue Xi’s pupils constricted.
The Great Elder looked up and laughed. “That’s right. His special ability was to shield, meaning he could shield everyone’s special ability. It’s equivalent to adding a barrier around other espers, making them unable to release their energy! This was the power of Vulture. He was not restrained by anyone else’s special ability!
But perhaps he has never tried to shield General Xiang?”
If he had shielded General Xiang, that was equivalent to giving him an invisible barrier that would have allowed him to walk out of that metal house!
Xue Xi suddenly understood something.
The Great Elder had purposely said that he should cripple his special ability.
If Xue Xi had crippled her special ability, China would have one less powerful person and Country M would have one less powerful enemy!
If Xiang Huai was the only one in the world, all the espers from the various countries might be able to suppress him if they joined forces. At the very least, they could create an equilibrium.
The alternative was that Vulture had crippled his own special ability. Without this special ability that could have saved Xiang Huai’s and her future, the two of them might only be able to live in a metal house together!
“Despicable!”
Xue Xi roared and flashed to the Great Elder’s side. She then grabbed his arm.
However, at this moment, the Great Elder suddenly shouted. Following that, a light suddenly lit up his body.
Amid the dazzling light, the Great Elder smiled. “Everything I’ve done is for my country! I don’t regret it!”
Bang!
After saying this, he actually self-destructed.
His special ability was light waves. Even if he died, he would not leave this special ability to Xue Xi.
“Elder!”
“Great Elder!”
Everyone in the International Association could not help but look at the empty space in front of them. The Great Elder’s final use of his ability was too powerful, and it had turned him into ashes.
Bang!
Someone knelt down.
No matter how bad the Great Elder had been, his actions were for Country M’s sake.
They had always been the world’s leaders and could never lose to China.
Hence, all the espers in the world could hate him, but the people in Country M could not!
Nicholas and Louise did not agree with him, but they had to bow to him.
China had won this trial.
However, China seemed to have lost again.
Xue Xi clenched her fists tightly. She had won back Xiang Huai’s reputation, but she had lost the way to save him. Perhaps that was the only way.
However, it did not matter. Xiang Huai was not alone. She might be able to accompany him soon.
Even if they were separated from the world, they still had each other.
