DESTINY GAMES

What’s odd is that he didn’t move around the obstacles in his way. He barreled through everything in his way, including trees or buildings. Everything in front of him was destroyed by force. This didn’t even slow him down. He had actually gotten faster.

His increasing speed and the fact that he was moving in a straight line meant that he caught sight of Kelvin faster than Kelvin thought was possible.

This time Kelvin heard the man coming before Wrath pointed it out. The loud crashing sound of walls crumbling and buildings falling tipped him off. There was also the sound of the footsteps that sounded like war drums.

He hadn’t even seen the man, but he had heard him. He glanced back to see tall buildings crumbling and kicking up a lot of dust.

He asked Wrath, "What in tarnation is that? Are we being chased by a giant?"

Wrath replied, "You might be in big trouble."

Kelvin rolled his eyes. "Tell me something I don’t know."

His heart was beating wildly in his chest in response to the fear he was feeling. It didn’t help that all he could hear was the sound of the feet of whoever was pursing him smashing into the ground and cracking it.

Zain’s bare feet were indeed cracking the ground. He was stepping on the ground with so much force that he left craters on the ground. Soon he was leaping off the ground because of the force of the collision with the ground.

The destruction he left behind made it seem like a herd of wild beasts was trampling through the ancient city. Kelvin would like to believe that except he saw the figure of what appeared to be a humanoid tank leaping and plunging down, demolishing everything in his way.

Kelvin cursed when he saw this, "Fuck, I’m screwed."

Wrath saw the miniature giant too. Instead of making a joke, it said, "I warned you not to target an information broker. I said things could go badly if you fail."

Kelvin shouted in reply, "You also said that it would be good if I succeeded in getting his ability."

He had to shout because the noise behind him had overtaken him and made it difficult to get to hear anything else. This noise also encouraged him to make his hoverbike go faster.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t go too fast because he was moving through the city in order to lose his pursuers. Unlike his pursuer, he can’t move through buildings. So he had to move to the main road in order to make full use of the speed capabilities of the hoverbike.

This was helpful, but it had only made the path between himself and his pursuer open and free. It was a straight line that the miniature giant could follow to reach him.

Wrath warned him, "Prepare yourself. At least die with dignity so that I won’t make fun of you to my next wielder."

Kelvin asked with frustration, "Are you going to tell me something useful or are you just going to keep making jokes?"

Wrath finally decided to become serious. It said, "He is getting faster by the moment. There are a lot of possibilities here, ranging from bad to doomed. I have seen many abilities like this before. One of them was especially memorable. The woman could convert all forms of energy around her, including sunlight, into power."

"This looks similar to it, but it might be something else. It might be an omega ability called Unstoppable Momentum. If that is what this guy has, then you are doomed. I’ll try to say nice things at your funeral."

"If it is like that woman’s, then it is an alpha ability that you have a shot at defeating. It all depends on if this guy has a limit or not. If he doesn’t have a limit to how fast and powerful he can get, then you are doomed. Even if he doesn’t, the longer you hold off on fighting him, the higher your chances of dying a gruesome death will be."

Kelvin understood. He had heard of the omega ability, not because he had read about it but because Wrath had mentioned something related to it when it was describing the ring of power.

So he knew the danger he could be in. He said, "Even if it is the former and the man has a limit, we still don’t know what he is using to convert to power. It could sound energy, light energy, kinetic energy, or momentum."

Wraty suggested, "His ability is currently manifesting as faster speed, so my bet is that if you can stop him, you will be able to defeat him."

Kelvin nodded and unbuckled the grenade launcher strapped to his back. Then he waited for the man to get within range.

This happened quickly. The man was running on his two feet, but he was about to catch up with a hoverbike moving at 200 kilometers per hour. That means he was covering 55.6 meters per second. It was not up to the level of speedsters, but this was still terrifying.

He couldn’t tell how fast a speedster is going since he was too slow. But this time he was moving at a fast speed himself and could see the buildings disappear past him in a blur. And yet, this monster of a man is gaining on him, which means the man is faster than him.

He waited until the man was five meters before shooting a grenade in front of him, not at him. This put the man in a critical situation where the distance and speed made it difficult to dodge.

The man was not a speedster with accelerated reflexes and thoughts. He didn’t have perfect control of his speed and couldn’t maneuver himself around the grenade at the speed he was going. He either had to stop abruptly and run back to avoid the explosion or continue running and take the grenade head-on.
