"Guys, there are still survivors. But not on this street. They ran away from the monster and they might be fighting for their life currently. What happened here is a one-sided massacre." Fein sighed as he said his analysis to his friends.
He didn't really feel guilt or anything. Since they already did their best and use Michael's shadow teleportation and his bird transformation for transformation. There are no other things they could do, and he knew it.
Fein lives by the rule of not forcing anything. Yes, he would take the initiative and act. But if he can't do it after, he gave his best. Then he would let it go instead of forcing it. He would only stress his mind for nothing. And he knew that not everything goes according to plan. Sometimes you have to learn how to let go.
Though he felt pity that they have to die tragically like this. If there's one that likely would feel bad about this, it's not him, Anthony, or Gregory. It's Michael. After all, Michael had that certain kindness to himself and he always prioritize the life of the weaker.
As he thought of this, he turned his head to his friend. Michael raised his eyebrows when he saw Fein looking at him. Then he smiled a little. "What? Don't worry. I'm not blaming myself or anything. I already reflected quite a lot from the words you and Kidd said to me last time."
'Well, I didn't expect this.' Fein curled his lips. 'That's for the good, then. Kindness and being naïve are two different things. You can be kind, but know when to use it and know whom to use it. Just like me..."
This silly thought passed through his head before he turned his attention back to Michael.
"Well, that's for the good then," Fein responded. Then he rubbed his chin and says. "There are no traces of a monster here. But they won't get too far away from him."
"We need to be fast, really fast this time, and don't waste time talking." Gregory looked at the four with unprecedented seriousness.
"I can do it." Fein raised his hand.
"Do it then." Anthony stood aside.
Under the eyes of three. Fein only closed his eyes... After he became a perfect human, his senses and his perception improved drastically. Now, he could cover multiple cities. Let alone one? Though there's a price to pay.
So with that, a colorless, invisible film expanded outwards from Fein's body, then it covered the entire street in an instant and continue to get bigger and bigger.
The speed of expansion was too fast as if it was a nuclear bomb that exploded. And after only one and a half minutes. His perception completely covered the entire city. But he knew that he could only maintain this for five seconds, or his brain would explode from too much information. If his brain didn't have an S-rank thinking skill. He won't be able to process such a large amount of information in the first place.
That's why he doesn't use this lightly. He only use it when he really needed to. Or he would put his brain at risk of injury.
Just like that, a stream of information passed through his head, such as the structure of the whole city, the number of animals in the place, the population in the city, and what the people were doing in different parts of the city, but he didn't focus about this useless informations and focused on locating the monster. Finally, he felt life signs gathered in one stadium and one presence full of negativity.
But before he could continue, a massive headache dawned on his head, he felt as if his needle pricked his brain and his soul. So, he gritted his teeth, the pain almost knocked him unconscious.
Fein fell to the ground. His eyes, nose, and ears bled crazily. But the pain in his head was still unbearable.
The three just watched this with worry. Fein had already explained to them what would happen if he used it. They are the ones that against using it in the first place. But they really don't have a choice this time and it was a last resort. After all, they wouldn't have wasted time searching manually at the start.
Now, seeing the consequences after Fein used it. They knew just how painful it was... It is not normal to perceive such a large city in the first place.
After a minute, the pain gradually receded along with the blood on his five orifices... Fein was fully covered with sweat, and his face was ghostly pale. He looked at the three with a helpless smile. "See? My brain wasn't strong enough to do that effortlessly yet. Maybe in the future."
"Well, you really just have to use it as a last resort." Michael nodded his head with understanding.
Although he prioritizes the life of normal people, so is his friend. He doesn't want to lose friends to save the common people. Michael could sacrifice his own life for the majority, but he doesn't want his friends to do the same thing.
"Well, let's talk about it later. I found them..." Fein took a deep breath.
"So where are they? I hope they are nearer." Gregory smoked the cigar in his mouth and asked.
"Stadium."Anthony's eyes twitched when he heard the answer. "Stadium? They actually cornered themselves instead of scattering in a different direction? This is another level of stupidity."
"I don't know what's going through their mind. If they run in a different direction, that monster would have a hard time and there would be more survivors." Fein scratched his scalp, also curious why the survivors did this.
"Who knows? But that's not important anymore." Michael raised his hand and activated his shadow powers.
The ground where they stood became a dark swamp and dragged them down slowly. Their bodies gradually sank into the shadowy swamp.
"No matter what angle I look at this. It's kinda creepy and scary. Why do you need to use swamp for this?" Fein complained to Michael. It was as if he was in an actual horror movie.
