Chapter 26 Copy the power of the electric shock Taser? (Rewritten)

The creaking and shaking gradually ceased after an exhilarating session of ups and downs during exercise.

Felicity lay in Stephen's arms, her expression relaxed for a while before gradually becoming more energized. She tidied her silky, albeit slightly disheveled hair and rested her head lazily on Stephen's shoulder. She mumbled, "Darling, you're truly amazing."

"You're not too shabby yourself, dear," Stephen replied. Although thoughts of their recent breakup crossed his mind, the softness of Felicity's body and the satisfying results of their nightly endeavors filled Stephen with renewed energy.

After a short rest, Stephen embraced Felicity and they headed to the bathroom. Under the cascading water, they washed away the weariness from their bodies before returning to the bedroom, where they cuddled each other and drifted off to sleep.

Engaging in appropriate exercise can improve sleep quality, and it also serves as a suitable distraction. At least for now, Felicity had forgotten about handing me a phone and had gone to sleep.

The night passed until dawn.

After having breakfast, Felicity left for work while Stephen took his notebook to the living room, tidying up the apartment. He simultaneously kept an eye on Laurel's whereabouts and browsed the news online.

Gotham, Central City, Metropolis, and more.

Ever since that day, Laurel hadn't visited Queen Industries' factory, as if the events of that time had become a distant memory she chose to forget. Her life had fallen into a regular routine. She left home in the morning for school and returned directly after classes, behaving like an elementary school student. Stephen's days had also become somewhat predictable. During the day, he monitored Laurel's location online, and in the evening, Felicity would return to chat, watch TV, and engage in some vigorous exercise before bedtime.

Felicity was glowing more and more these days.

The creaking sound resounded punctually, and Felicity suddenly exclaimed, "It moved! It moved!"

"What? I just moved a little while ago."

"I mean, Laurel's position has changed!"

Felicity pointed to the notebook beside her, showing that the red dot indicating Laurel's location was indeed moving, as if she had left her house.

"After all this time, has she come to see you?" Felicity looked at Stephen, her excitement evident.

Stephen glanced briefly but quickly averted his gaze. Though Laurel had finally taken action to make him happy, he still had to focus on the task at hand. Soon, Felicity might not have any time to think about anything else.

The moonlight cast a gentle glow on the earth.

The slum streets were devoid of pedestrians. Only in the corners could one occasionally spot homeless people sleeping on the ground. Laurel arrived at Queen Industries' factory wearing sportswear, carrying a bag, and scanning her surroundings before taking a few deep breaths. With a sigh of relief, she retraced her steps for a few seconds, then sprinted, leaping high and grabbing onto the iron gate. The two-meter-high gate posed a bit of a challenge, and it took her a while to climb over.

Upon landing, Laurel opened her bag and took out two items.

A flashlight and an electric shock device, also known as a Taser.

The darkness and emptiness of the abandoned factory made the flashlight beam appear exceptionally bright. Relying on her memory, Laurel soon reached the spot where she had been abducted before.

The bent steel bar still lay on the ground, and her voice echoed in the quiet space.

"Is anyone here? I'm here."

"Hello, Stephen, are you there?"

Laurel asked softly and tentatively, but received no response. Was he absent?

A sudden rush of cold wind sent shivers down her neck, causing Laurel to instinctively turn around and raise the electric shock device in defense.

ZI ZI ZI.

The electric Taser emitted a faint electric light and sound. Laurel felt her wrist being tightly held, but she managed to grasp it during the struggle. In the process, she accidentally dropped the flashlight, which briefly illuminated the scene, revealing Stephen standing in front of her, firmly holding the wrist that held the electric shock device.

Stephen smiled and observed the electric shock device in her hand. Squeezing her wrist slightly, Laurel involuntarily released the Taser, dropping it to the ground.

Click!

The sound of the impact was clear, and Laurel shuddered instinctively. She then realized that Stephen had strangely loosened his grip on her wrist, while his hand emitted a blue light, much like that of an electric shock device. With a crackling sound, Laurel suddenly felt an electric current surge through her hand, causing her to tremble.

She stared at Stephen in disbelief, completely stunned. As she lay on the ground, her body trembled slightly.

Ignoring Laurel, who had fallen, Stephen looked down at his hands. Electricity crackled at his fingertips, as his ability to replicate powers began to intensify. The blue light spread throughout his entire body, emitting a dazzling brightness. In that moment, Stephen resembled Thor descending from the sky, exuding an irresistible majesty.

Although Stephen knew that as the Protégé, he could replicate the powers of objects or tools, he had never had the opportunity to test it. Previous replications had occurred passively, and they involved insignificant objects. But now, seeing the electric shock device, he had an idea to try replicating its power. The results proved highly desirable.

Even though the electric shock device's power for self-defense was not particularly strong, its initial strength didn't matter to Stephen. He could infinitely stack powers. Even a small electric current from the Taser, when accumulated, could rival the forces of heaven and earth and potentially annihilate the planet.
