Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Though a Mortal Body, Possessing the Quality to Defy the Heavens and Slay Immortals

’Space Superpower—Space Black Hole?!’

"Tongzi, you know the drill, explain!"

[Space Black Hole (Space Superpower): The Space Black Hole is one of the Skills belonging to the SSS-Level Superpower, King of Space. The host does not need to comprehend or develop it on their own and can use it directly.]

Oh, Mengde understood!

Even though he had previously obtained the SSS-Level Space Superpower—King of Space!

In reality, he had only gained the ability to control space.

Or rather, the prerequisite for using an SSS-Level Space Superpower.

However, the specific ways to use it still required Mengde to develop and discover them himself.

The advantage of this was that there was no limit to the Skills Mengde could develop.

If what he had awakened wasn’t the SSS-Level Space Superpower—King of Space, but an ordinary Space Superpower, he might have only had a single ability.

For example, "Space Rend," which would only have the single effect of cutting through space.

Or "Spatial Lock," which would only be a skill to seal off a section of space.

But his SSS-Level Space Superpower allowed for the unlimited development of new Skills, with no quantity restrictions!

It was a bit like a certain Red-Haired Monster whose later years were ominous.

Though born a mere mortal, he possessed the quality to defy the heavens and slay immortals!!!

In short, its potential was limitless!

Moreover, this Superpower could only reach its full potential in his hands.

If this Superpower were to fall into the hands of an ordinary person, the Skills they could awaken and use would be extremely limited. After all, comprehending and developing Superpowers takes time.

But he was different. He had Lord Tong!

Tongzi: ’Such a fickle man...’

With the system’s rewards, what the hell did he have to be afraid of!

Mengde was instantly overjoyed.

[Space Black Hole: Within the space the host can control, the host can automatically transfer an object (inclusive of, but not limited to) to another location.]

Hearing this, Mengde’s eyes lit up, and he immediately pressed for more.

"Oh! So can I transfer other people’s attacks too?"

[You can!]

"HOLY SHIT!!!!"

"Lord Tong, you’re the fucking best!!!"

Getting Lord Tong’s affirmative reply, the excited Mengde almost shouted out loud...

But his unruly brother below also started getting excited...

This made Chen Jiayi, who was in his arms, blush beet red.

’This man really did refuse just now because he was concerned about my body.’

’He said no with his mouth, but his body is being very honest.’

"Tsk! Still thinking about doing bad things."

Chen Jiayi hesitated for a moment, then her delicate hands slid past the man’s abdomen, exploring downwards...

Mengde, however, was completely oblivious, utterly lost in his own world.

’Now that I’ve developed this Space Black Hole skill, it’s like I have an Absolute Defense!’

’And one that can even redirect attacks!’

’Even if the transfer only works within the space I control, it’s still incredible.’

And by his estimation, the range of space he could currently control had already reached 5 meters.

In other words, he could use the Space Black Hole to redirect any incoming attacks.

However, the redirection range was only a 5-meter radius!

It wasn’t far, but it was enough to guarantee his own safety!

Besides, the range of this attack redirection was determined by the range of space he could control.

Of course, it wasn’t invincible. The attack’s power had to be within the threshold of what his Space Black Hole could withstand.

Otherwise, he would still get hurt.

Thinking of this, his mood improved greatly, and even his body felt much more comfortable...

’Wait a minute... my body feels comfortable???’

Mengde abruptly looked down and saw that the woman who had just thrown herself into his arms was now kneeling before him...

"Jiayi, you...!!!"

Under Mengde’s shocked gaze, Jiayi’s blushing face looked as if it was about to drip blood.

"Mmm... I... it’s my first time doing this. Don’t blame me if I’m not good at it..."

Mengde was deeply moved. What else could he say? He could only narrow his eyes and let the woman before him pick up the pace...

.....................

At noon, the three of them sat down to eat together.

Yaoyao looked curiously at her sister, noticing the strange way she was holding her chopsticks.

"Sis, what’s wrong with your hand?"

Hearing Yaoyao’s words, Mengde snorted. What a question to ask...

Chen Jiayi shot him a glare.

’It’s all this man’s fault. My hand is still sore.’

Mengde chuckled and explained on her behalf.

"It’s nothing. She probably just didn’t sleep well last night."

Huh???

’What does not sleeping well have to do with a sore hand???’

Yaoyao tilted her head, a confused look on her face.

She could rack her little brain all day and probably never guess it was a physiological issue...

..................

After the meal, Mengde didn’t have time for an afternoon nap with Jiayi.

After quickly getting his things together, he prepared to charge straight for Building 1.

’How can I let another man snore beside my bed!’

’It’s best to deal with this hidden danger as soon as possible.’

At the door, the two sisters were seeing Mengde off, their beautiful faces filled with worry.

Especially the older sister, Jiayi. As Mengde’s woman, her Affinity had also reached 90, and she had reached a state of almost complete dependence on him.

"Right, be careful. They have a gun."

Having heard Mengde talk about Brother Dao, Jiayi naturally knew that Brother Dao had a gun.

But in response to this, Mengde just smiled faintly.

’Before, I might have been a little worried, but now I don’t have to care at all.’

’With the Absolute Defense of the Space Black Hole at my side, what the hell do I have to be afraid of!’

’You got anything on me? Do ya?!’

"It’s a shame I haven’t had an Awakened Superpower. Otherwise, I could help you."

Mengde looked at the helplessness on her face and comforted her.

"It’s alright. You’ll get your chance too."

Jiayi just thought Mengde was comforting her and didn’t take it seriously.

Little did she know that in Mengde’s eyes, he could already see that her Awakened Superpower progress had reached 92%.

She was not far from her own Awakened Superpower!

(Note: A Goddess’s Superpower can only be awakened when her Affinity reaches 100 and after being "charged" a certain number of times.)

His little sister-in-law, Yaoyao, also looked worriedly at her brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, you have to be careful!"

Mengde stroked the girl’s soft hair.

"Be a good girl and stay home. Wait for your brother-in-law to come back!"

After reminding them once more not to open the door for anyone, Mengde set off.

But as soon as he stepped out, the door to his landlady Bai Jie’s apartment opened.

Dressed in a short-sleeved top and tight jeans, her voluptuous and graceful figure was perfectly displayed.

Her every frown and movement exuded the unique charm of a young matron!

"Mengde, are you going out?"

Mengde nodded.

Every time he saw this woman, his eyes were inevitably drawn to her "lanterns."

"Have you considered what we talked about yesterday?"

As he spoke, his eyes brazenly swept over her body.

’Might as well look since it’s free. Getting a good look is a huge bonus!’

’Since I can’t eat the meat yet, I’ll feast my eyes for now.’

Bai Jie hadn’t expected Mengde to ask her so directly, and her face instantly turned red.

"I... I haven’t decided yet... Could you maybe... again..."

Seeing her hesitant expression, Mengde knew she hadn’t made up her mind and probably wanted to borrow food from him again.

’You won’t let me eat the meat, but you still want to freeload off me?!’

’There’s no such thing as a free lunch!’

So he cut her off directly, not caring to hear any more.

"Sorry, my food comes with a price!"

"My offer from yesterday is still on the table!"

"When you’ve made up your mind, contact me!"

"I have things to do, so I’m leaving!"

’This woman, trying to freeload off him again. Dream on!’

Watching Mengde’s crisp, decisive back as he left, Bai Jie’s hopes of borrowing more food were completely dashed...

................

Meanwhile, in Building 1, Brother Dao was flying into a rage!

"What did you say?"

"My brother is dead?!!!"
