It wasn't enough to just look at the effect of a superpower.
Emma had always thought that her ability was to control fire, but it was actually to control temperature.
The description provided by the system was the most reliable.
In Lorna's eyes, "Mr. Wilson" Big Dipper was cold and aloof, and wasn't suited to bet with Marcus.
So, beating him up was the simplest and most effective way.
Besides, it wasn't like he had slapped Marcus in the face!
Thinking that way, Luke felt that he was still a refined, easygoing, and magnanimous person.
Selina, however, asked, "Is his ability to turn into a light bulb?"
Luke pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Just think of him as a microwave oven."
Selina asked, "What kind of oven?"
She had never heard of such a thing before.
Luke said, "It's similar to a microwave, but it's an appliance that uses light to heat things up."
Selina got it. "So, his ability isn't just to light up, but also to roast?"
Luke said, "… His ability is to absorb and control photons. Light and heat are just two of his characteristics."
Selina snorted. "But he seems very weak right now?"
"That's right." Luke naturally agreed.
Compared with Lorna and Carol, Marcus's ability was definitely more powerful in the later stages.
Carol's self-healing ability was useful in the early stages, but he was too focused on self-protection in the later stages.
Lorna's control of the magnetic field, on the other hand, had never been weak.
In the early stages, she could easily kill and hinder her opponents with small and sharp iron objects. In the later stages, it was only basic for her to use an electromagnetic cannon.
If she was smart and loved to learn, this ability was almost invincible.
Marcus's current ability, on the other hand, was just a flash grenade or a low-power human soldering iron. It was very ineffective.
But in the later stages, it wasn't impossible to use a human laser cannon.
But that was just on paper.
Many superpowers were terrifying in the later stages. The real key was how to reach the later stages.
Most people with superpowers didn't have the ability to study hard, or they weren't talented enough or didn't have good grades, which limited the possibility of them developing their superpowers.
The advancement of most people with superpowers depended on metaphysics and luck.
The people who captured them had to first make sure that they could control them before they could study how to improve their abilities.
Who wouldn't want to create a super powerful enemy for themselves?
As usual, Luke's daily regret didn't change. Indeed, he couldn't learn Marcus's ability.
But knowing how to use Motion Light Wave was not a big deal. He was not a fan of Ultraman Tiga.
He was a little regretful, and so was Selina. "It seems that we won't get any new teammates."
Luke chuckled. "If Lorna dares to come, I wouldn't dare use her. He was too young and lacked determination and experience. In eight to ten years, perhaps we can count on it. "
For example, falling out or something! A certain someone silently added, 'After all, the mental age of a single person who has fallen out of love has always grown faster than their physical appearance and hairline.'
…
When they set off again, the two people and the dog were still leisurely.
Apart from daydreaming every day, Luke also tried to cook some South American dishes that he had just learned.
Most local delicacies still needed to be slightly modified to suit one's taste.
Selina didn't have high requirements for gourmet food. She would enjoy it as long as it was "good", but she wouldn't say no if it was better.
When they passed by northern Chile, the two of them did not go ashore.
Northern Chile had a tropical desert climate, and there were mainly mining cities.
Many parts of Texas were also semi-deserts. Desolate and majestic scenery could be seen everywhere, similar to the charm of the scenery here.
Luke and Selina's main purpose this time was to travel and earn points.
They weren't very interested in this kind of scenery, and naturally couldn't be bothered to go to those mining cities.
Just like that, the cruise reached Lima, the capital of Peru, before they got off and entered the city.
After five days in Lima, the two of them put on their armor at night and flew northeast. They crossed the border and entered the depths of the uninhabited jungle in the state of Acre.
After flying for about an hour, they stopped and landed.
When they landed on the ground covered by giant trees and into a deep ravine, Selina looked at everything in front of her in amazement. "This is really … amazing."
Luke simply nodded in agreement.
In English, this place could only be described as amazing, wonderful, and great. In Chinese, however, it could be described as the work of the gods.
The ravine was covered by the vines of the giant trees on the ground, and couldn't be seen from the sky at all.
Luke and Selina landed on a protruding cliff next to a waterfall.
They had to look down from up close to see this small valley that was five to ten meters wide, more than a hundred meters deep, and more than two hundred meters long.
It was already night, and there were green patches on the cliffs of the valley, which should have been pitch-black.
On these green cliffs, there were also dark red fluorescent flowers that swayed in the night wind, forming a strange and magical picture.
In Selina's eyes, the dark red fluorescent flowers were six-petal Blood Orchids.
The dark red light on the petals of the Blood Orchids was very dim, but it was still changing in the dark, like a human breathing.
Selina was stunned for a few seconds. After enjoying the dark fairytale-style scenery, she murmured, "Is this the raw material of Life One … the Night Blood Orchid?"
Luke was also enjoying the view.
After Sloan of the Fraternity's information on the Blood Orchid cultivation base, he hadn't been here very often, only two or three times in the past two years.
But the Blood Orchid had a strange characteristic.
It bloomed once every six years, and it only bloomed for about a week each time. After that, it would quickly wither and rot.
In order to make it easier for the old fox Sloan to control the base, he had divided the Blood Orchids into three batches, which bloomed once every two years.
He only needed to make a routine inspection once a year and collect the extract of the Blood Orchid every other year.
That way, it would be impossible for the staff at the base to get the extract for themselves.
There had been more than fifty staff here before, and more than half of them were men. Most of them were yellow neutral or light red evildoers. Of course, Luke couldn't kill them all.
Thus, he first used Sloan's face to temporarily control this place. He then quietly got the innocent people out and gave them to Rebecca to settle in various South American countries, and gave them some monetary compensation.
Luke didn't owe these people anything, but these people had grown such a large area of Blood Orchids.
He was very satisfied, and he didn't mind giving them a tip.
These innocent people who were sent away were all deeply hypnotized, and everything here would be forgotten in the corner of their memories.
Also, the base was three hundred kilometers away from the nearest inhabited area.
Not only had the cunning Sloan completely cut off contact with the outside world, he had also specially picked people who weren't very cultured.
These people didn't have the ability to escape, and they wouldn't know where the base was even if they did.
It was meaningless to know that this was the Amazon jungle. There were too many uninhabited areas, and it was impossible to search.
In the end, the remaining dozen or so people all had red names, and Luke kept them here to reform them through labor. But that was it for the day.
Without companions, these dozen or so people all had serious mental problems, and if they continued to be used, something might happen.
Luke wasn't afraid that something would happen to these people, but to the Blood Orchids. Thus, he used this opportunity to end things once and for all.
