* BOOOOOM!
Helena finally joined the fray, her barrier surging towards me in an attempt to trap and kill.
As the barrier rapidly expanded, it compressed the surrounding air, creating pockets of high pressure. When it contracted, it released this compressed air in powerful bursts, resulting in explosive shockwaves that reverberated through the atmosphere.
It was a powerful yet somewhat predictable move.
Just by observing her attack patterns, it became evident that she couldn't create a larger barrier to trap me. A bigger one required a longer time to form, making the attack more predictable and easier to dodge.
To be honest, her abilities was actually quite powerful; it just happened to be a bad matchup for someone like me who could move exceptionally fast and has a very sharp reaction time.
With my passive skills alerting me to impending danger, dodging out of its range became almost second nature.
Rei Mei's skill proved to be a lifesaver right now. Unlike my teleportation, it didn't drain my Mind Power too much, giving me the flexibility to use it without fretting over energy consumption.
As another barrier closed in, I seized the opportunity to counter. I channeled my energy into a concentrated force, aiming to disrupt the integrity of her barrier.
"Let's see which is stronger, my telekinesis or your barrier," I laughed maniacally as I focused on halting one of the barriers from shrinking.
The clash of powers created a shockwave, and for a moment, it seemed like the barrier might crumble. However, Helena, with quick thinking, reinforced it, making it resilient against my attempted disruption.
*BOOOOOOOM!
A massive shock wave exploded because of the reaction, rippling through the sky. The explosive force caught the others off guard, disrupting their coordinated efforts momentarily.
"A chance!" I exclaimed, seizing the opportunity.
Swooping in closer, I harnessed the power of my telekinesis, directing it towards the weaker gifted among them.
The toxic gas created a devastating toll as it touched the trees. Everything in its path withered and died instantly. Those unfortunate enough to lack any means to block the poison succumbed to its deadly touch, turning the once-thriving forest into a lifeless, haunting landscape.
As the air cleared in the aftermath of our clash, a grim scene revealed itself— The once-green foliage turned brown and desolate, and even the soil beneath bore the mark of a different, ominous hue.
'This guy killed more than me in that exchange. I should probably give him a 5 star for being my best employee,' I mused to myself, the twisted sense of humor lingering as I acknowledged his unintentional contribution .
At this point, his eyes turned red in anger. It was clear he was losing his cool after failing repeatedly.
I realized they were getting more agitated, their mind power starting to mess with their heads. The intense battle was taking a toll on their mental state.
Good thing , that was my plan from the start. These guys were smart, so I needed to bait them into becoming agitated enough to make a mistake.
I may be crazy, but I'm not crazy enough to taunt them without a reason. After all, I am the smartest person in the world, and even my madness has a method to it.
Unfortunately, Zhang was still as calm as ever. Even when the poisonous fumes reached him, he didn't bat an eye.
'What is he waiting for?' I wondered.
I had been expecting him to make a big move, especially after I took down some of his members. However, there he was, just hanging in the sky, hovering like he had not a care in the world.
"Stop it, you're causing more damage than help," Helena scolded the Green Goblin.
Taking charge, she pressed on with the attack after sensing my attention shifting towards their leader.
'So they're protecting him,' I mused silently.
The exchange turned into a repetitive cycle, leaving them in a dilemma. My flexibility made it challenging for them to adjust, no matter how many combinations they attempted.
I just effortlessly outmaneuvered them, just flying around and enjoying my overwhelming advantage.
