Lorna's cold and dominant words had just left her mouth when the young women in the bar went pale. Throughout all of New York City, there probably wasn't anyone who didn't recognize the silver-haired young man accompanying Raina.
The bartender fumbled, almost dropping the bottle he held. He leaned in close to Lorna's ear, panic-stricken, and said in a low voice, "Hey, Miss, be polite in your words. The other person is, after all, a peac…"
"I'm talking to him. Do you have the right to interrupt?" Lorna shot him a cold glare as she spoke.
The bartender reluctantly stepped back, and the others wisely moved away a certain distance to avoid getting caught in any potential crossfire.
"Don't worry, I won't argue with a little girl," Kyle said nonchalantly with a faint smile on his face.
Although the dark green-haired beauty in front of him looked to be in her early twenties, she still appeared like an immature young girl to him.
However, his casual words seemed to have sparked Lorna's anger. She raised her left hand, and a brilliant green radiance emanated from her palm.
An Ability User? Or a Mutant?
Witnessing this, Kyle was surprised. Soon, he felt the green light altering the force field around him. The air around him suddenly became stagnant, and the gravitational field in the area where he stood increased three to four times.
"Lorna!" Raina exclaimed in alarm. She was about to say something when Kyle raised his hand to stop her and waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
Within the enhanced gravitational field, Kyle raised an eyebrow lightly, his tone nonchalant and disdainful, "Is that all you can do?"
A look of coldness intensified on Lorna's exquisitely beautiful face. She shifted from using one hand to pressing with both hands, and the green light in the air rippled slightly.
The gravity acting solely on Kyle surged from four times to more than ten times.
If it were an ordinary person, they would likely kneel on the ground in this situation, experiencing various side effects like nausea and dizziness.
However, Kyle's face remained as calm as ever. He gazed calmly at Lorna who was exerting her abilities and even took a half step forward.
To him, this was nothing out of the ordinary. After all, he had regularly trained in a gravity chamber at the family base where the gravity was set to ten times Earth's gravity.
Ten times Earth's gravity was quite comfortable for Kyle, and he felt no significant difference from the usual gravity.
This greatly touched Lorna's pride, compelling her to continue using her abilities. She began to shake with effort. The radiant green light she emitted shone even more brightly.
Ten times, thirteen times, fifteen times, eighteen times…
Until it reached twenty times Earth's gravity. Even the indoor lights began to warp slightly within the force field.
Kyle effortlessly approached Lorna, picked up a bottle, poured himself a drink, and took a sip from his glass.
"Not bad, it's just a bit strong," He commented, leaving it ambiguous whether he was referring to the alcohol or Lorna.
"You!" Lorna's face turned slightly pale. She lowered the gravity pressure to its minimum. The green light swayed in the air like smoke, and her still unperfected abilities had been pushed to their limits within the force field.
However, no matter how high the gravity within the force field was, Kyle didn't show any discomfort or physical strain.
He was like a humanoid monster!
In a daze, Lorna suddenly changed the direction of the green light in her hand, manipulating other abilities.
*Ding! Ding! Ding!*
In an instant, everything in the bar, especially metal items, trembled, manipulated by some mysterious force, moving to attack Kyle, who was the apparent target of aggression.
"Stop it!" Raina's voice, laced with anger, resounded.
In the nick of time, a powerful and invisible telekinetic force swept over like a tidal wave, suppressing the objects that had been manipulated. The items struggled to move.
*Bang!*
The two superpowers clashed in the room, and nearby glass cups and bottles, unable to withstand the pressure, instantly cracked into countless fragments, creating a bizarre and spectacular scene.
Lorna, taken aback, looked up and noticed Raina's silver-glowing eyes. She immediately canceled the ability she was using.
She sincerely apologized, saying, "I'm sorry."
Lorna had only wanted to teach Kyle a lesson but unintentionally used her still unskilled abilities, which had made her dear friend Raina angry for the first time.
Kyle's eyes flashed with a trace of approval.
He appreciated the straightforwardness, the assertiveness, and the readiness to admit mistakes in her character, which was somewhat more masculine in style. This girl's personality seemed to suit him well.
However, the main focus was on her abilities.
Kyle's gaze landed on Lorna. Dozens of Ability Cards had surged from her, but two of them shone brilliantly.
The first one was the ability she initially used— a force field-based power!
**[Force Field Manipulation]**: Creating a force field for manipulation. Blue Ability Card.
The ability allowed the user to create localized force fields, which could reverse, weaken, or amplify the force fields in a specific area. The user could only create a force field within a fifty-meter radius, and the strength of the force field was directly related to the size and distance of the area being manipulated.
The maximum force field attraction limit was twenty times Earth's gravity.
Current Status: Extractable!
In Kyle's view, this ability was highly functional. However, due to its limitations and the many factors influencing its strength, the grade of this card appeared relatively low.
But Kyle's gaze didn't linger. It directly landed on the second Ability Card. In just a few seconds, he almost exclaimed in amazement, struggling to maintain his composure.
He had never expected to encounter this Ability Card in the current world—**one of the Ability Cards he had always dreamed of!**
**[Magnetic Field Manipulation]**: Perfect control over magnetic fields down to the finest detail. Rare Purple Ability Card.
The user can control any form of magnetic field!
The maximum amount of power that can be manipulated at once is unknown. Currently, it is known that the user can manipulate metals weighing over a thousand tons. The ability to control magnetic fields extends down to the atomic level, allowing the user to change chemical structures and transform matter.
The user can manipulate large numbers of things simultaneously, forming complex machinery or even achieving invisibility by bending visible light around them to a certain extent.
To some extent, the user can use magnetism to enhance their own body, thereby increasing strength and endurance, even exceeding human limits and shortening their reaction time to one-fifteenth of a normal human's.
Current Status: Unextractable. Restrictions: (1. The user has not fully mastered this ability due to psychological conditions.) (2. The Cardholder already possesses a Rare Purple prefixed Ability Card).
Kyle's mouth twitched slightly. His heart ached as if it were bleeding.
This was the ability to control magnetic fields!
It was even more perfect than magnetic control! When developed to its fullest potential, it was beyond compare, and even killing gods would be a piece of cake!
If there weren't two restrictions, he would have considered giving up his existing Divine Gene Ability Card and extracting the Magnetic Field Mastery Ability Card.
This ability could not be described as merely strong; it was nothing short of terrifying.
"Why are you staring at me?" Lorna turned away, covering her slightly curvaceous chest as she cast a cold glance at Kyle.
Kyle moved his scorching gaze away. He hadn't been staring at her chest; he had just been captivated by the Ability Card.
Clearly, having Raina in such a man's company would guarantee her safety.
Lorna sighed inwardly as she wracked her brain, trying to devise a strategy to rescue her dear friend from Kyle's clutches.
Lorna was not an original character but originated from a spin-off of X-Men. Most people knew her as Miss Polaris.
