Chapter 79 A Beautiful Story
The acquisition of characteristics is completely unpredictable.
Lucas has always regarded this statement as a truth.
Take this time, for example.
If he hadn't been struck by a sudden red lightning bolt while honing his flight skills in the Abyss World, he might not have been able to acquire the new trait.
"Boom!"
The crimson lightning, like a giant blood-red python, tore through the dark clouds with terrifying energy and crashed towards Lucas.
The sky was stained blood red, and even Lucas's steel body could not withstand it. His clothes turned to dust instantly, and large patches of purplish-blue bruises appeared on his skin.
The lightning in the Abyss is many times more powerful than that in the real world.
Lucas tried using shadow particles to form armor to counteract the power of the crimson lightning. Although it didn't hurt as much, the number of times he could do it didn't increase.
Only those who rely solely on their physical defenses to withstand attacks will be counted as valid attempts.
Fortunately, although the process was very painful, I was able to grit my teeth and persevere.
Moreover, during the electric shocks, Lucas was surprised to find that his skill in the drill was also improving.
This dual-enhancement effect immediately made him very happy.
Later, Lucas could clearly feel that the power of the crimson lightning that struck him had been reduced to less than one-tenth.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, a notification suddenly flashed before his eyes:
[Gained new trait: Thunder King]
[Thunder King: You can freely control the divine lightning. However, its power and duration are limited by your physical and mental strength. In addition, you will be immune to paralysis and electric shock damage. The effect is amplified by 40% when you are in a thunderstorm.]
One eye and ten lines.
Lucas quickly finished browsing.
It's easy to understand.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly extended his left hand.
next moment.
Instantly, countless, wildly flashing crimson lightning bolts appeared in his palm, as dazzling as rubies, leaving no doubt about the terrifying power they contained.
Lucas casually tossed it toward the broken, cracked, reddish-yellow earth in front of him.
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning swept across the area, and crimson lightning crackled wildly, instantly shattering the hard ground and creating a crater five or six meters in diameter.
Lucas's eyes lit up immediately.
And that's not all.
"Whoosh!"
With a leap, Lucas soared tens of thousands of meters into the air, and behind him, crimson lightning bloomed like a blood-red flower.
This allowed Lucas to easily increase his speed from Mach 10 to Mach 50, which is equivalent to hypersonic speed.
Hundreds of thousands of meters above the ground.
Lucas stands with his hands behind his back.
The shadow armor on his body shimmered with an ancient and mysterious light.
A massive lightning dragon, composed entirely of thunder, circled around the youth.
Lucas's eyes also blazed with a crimson lightning light, making it impossible to look directly at him.
He can not only conjure lightning with his hands, but every organ and cell in his body can unleash terrifying lightning power anytime, anywhere.
This moment.
Thunder is him.
He is thunder.
"Boom!"
The next moment, Lucas slammed heavily onto the ground.
The terrifying thunderstorm, combined with the indestructible Shadow Armor, instantly leveled a mountain several hundred meters high, creating a force comparable to a nuclear explosion.
Amidst swirling dust and flying debris, Lucas slowly emerged, his Shadow Armor gleaming faintly. Once it was spotless again, Lucas once more charged headlong into the cloud-covered sky, thousands of meters high.
There, terrifying streaks of crimson lightning were slowly gathering.
The deafening sound was already right next to Lucas's ears.
Now that he had discovered a way to quickly enhance his steel body, he certainly wasn't going to let it go.
While being relentlessly bombarded by blood lightning, Lucas also performed the high-difficulty moves he had previously summarized.
As the sweltering heat comes to an end.
The kryptonite research base located in the suburbs has finally been completed.
Lucas immediately placed the various sophisticated instruments and equipment that had been placed in the Abyss World beforehand into it.
Since his last visit to Kent Farm, Lex has become a regular visitor.
Although Jonathan did not welcome the heir of the Luther family, the reasons for the man's visits were always compelling.
For example, this time.
Lex placed the documents he was holding on the table: "Mr. Kent, my father wants me to cut 20% of the fertilizer plant."
"Employee, I'd like to ask for your opinion?"
"I believe my opinion is no longer relevant to the Luther Group's plans," Jonathan said with a hint of sarcasm.
"That largely depends on your father's and your own thoughts. For the Luther family, layoffs are probably the simplest and most effective method!" she sarcastically remarked.
"My father is my father, and I am me. I believe there are other ways to cut expenses," Lex said.
"Listen, Mr. Luther. I can tell you're not really doing this out of kindness. But if you still choose to do it, it should be a good thing for the families in town who depend on the fertilizer plant for their livelihood."
"Clark, what about you? What do you think?"
Lex then looked at Clark beside him.
"Me?" Clark thought for a moment and said, "Those workers all rely on this salary to support their families. Now that you've come up with a way to cut costs, you might as well try to implement it."
"And you, Lucas?"
Lex suddenly looked at Lucas, who was reading a book on the sofa: "Me?" Lucas put down his book and said with a half-smile: "Whether or not to lay off employees is your business, but before you decide whether to lay off employees, I suggest you go and take a look at the third basement level of the fertilizer plant."
Lex frowned, not understanding what the sentence meant, but he still kept it in mind.
The next day.
Lex suddenly found Lucas: "Mrs. Kent said you were here."
After some pleasantries, he got straight to the point: "Lucas, I'm really curious, how did you know that Fertilizer Plant No. 3 has three underground levels?"
Lex's eyes held intense curiosity, mixed with wariness and scrutiny.
Before this, even he didn't know that the No. 3 fertilizer plant had three underground floors.
And inside—
"Listen carefully, I know far more than you think. So you'd better rein in your damn curiosity. Otherwise, you'll soon learn firsthand that digging into secrets you shouldn't touch will only get you into trouble."
Curiosity doesn't just cause trouble for cats; forcibly confronting truths that are too much for humans to bear can also lead to utter ruin.
Lucas stood up, exuding an extremely imposing aura.
He tossed several photos out of his pocket.
The person in the photo is none other than Clark, but judging from the angle, it was clearly taken without his consent.
Lex's expression froze.
He was very curious about how Clark had managed to escape danger that day. It just so happened that a tabloid reporter had recently blackmailed him for a million dollars using dirt on him, so he took the opportunity to ask Clark to investigate him secretly.
I didn't expect it to be so unprofessional.
The next moment, Lex Luthor's astonishment vanished, and a calm smile returned to his lips: "The angle of the shot was tricky, but a few photos can't prove anything, and it has nothing to do with me."
Furthermore, Clark saved my life, and I cherish that friendship immensely. Believe me, my friendship with Clark will definitely become a legendary tale!
