Chapter 135: A Leap in Strength
Kevin was indeed right.
The upgrade from level 4 to level 5 is indeed a qualitative change.
The standard for level 4 is to be able to control water sources within a radius of 50 meters, but the standard for level 5...
is to be able to control all water sources within a radius of one mile!
It has been improved tenfold!
And not only that, after the [Water Flow Control] is upgraded to level 5, a [Feature] is added, which is [Ocean Domain].
The effect of [Ocean Domain] is that when Kevin is in the sea water, the ability to control water flow will be increased once.
The intensity of the increase is based on Kevin's current mental power input. It can at least increase the control range and intensity by three times, and at most by five times!
In other words, in the sea water, Kevin can control all the sea water with a radius of five miles and a diameter of five kilometers at most!
He can create a tsunami by himself!
This is the real ocean wizard, the king of the sea!
Finally, there is one more thing.
Kevin stretched out his hand, and there was no movement. Drops of water gathered in his hand and formed a small water ball in an instant.
"…I can create water out of thin air."
Level 5 water flow control allows Kevin to create water out of thin air, although the process of creating water sources takes time, and the amount of water condensed in the end depends on the humidity in the air.
But it is indeed possible to create water out of thin air.
If you click on magic skills such as "Water Ball", with the increase of [Water Flow Control], Kevin can create a large area of water for him to control in a short time.
In the future, even in the desert, Kevin will not have to worry about running out of water.
"Not bad, not a waste of my 16 skill points."
The improvement of [Water Flow Control] makes Kevin very satisfied. The all-round improvement makes Kevin truly invincible in the black robe world.
Now even if the motherland is in front of him, Kevin can stop the motherland's blood from flowing with the ability of water flow control.
If the motherland does not run away, he can even kill the motherland in front of him!
Azu, Azu, your good days are really over now!
Edgar was replaced by a stand-in, and Walter became Kevin's one-man show. He also suppressed Homelander in terms of strength. Kevin couldn't think of anything else that could stop him in the black robe world.
"Ten points left... um."
After upgrading [Water Flow Control], Kevin still had ten skill points available.
Looking at the remaining skills, Kevin hesitated and invested six of them into the [Deep Sea Fighter] system.
In addition to fighting skills and immortality, the Deep Sea Fighter system also has a system with only two skills.
These two skills are basic skills, that is, the upper limit is level seven, and the number of skill points will double every time you click on them.
One is called [Weakness Insight] and the other is called [Deep Sea Perception].
Kevin used three skill points respectively and upgraded both skills to level two.
Used to improve his perception ability.
The former allows Kevin to see the most obvious weaknesses in the enemy when used, and the latter allows Kevin to perceive everything within a certain range underwater.
The level of the second level is not high, at most it allows Kevin to get familiar with these two skills, but with these two skills, Kevin can no longer be said to be a weakling in the field of fighting.
The first level of fighting skills gives Kevin the most basic fighting skills. By seeing through weaknesses, superhumans who have not received fighting training will not be his opponents.
Even if they have received fighting training, but they are not well-trained, they cannot beat Kevin in pure fighting skills.
What's more, Kevin's physique is there. Even if he stands still, ordinary superhumans cannot break his defense.
Let's understand the numerical monster.
In the end, Kevin still has four skill points left.
These four skill points cannot be used.
Returning to the Marvel world requires skill points. Although only one point is enough, it takes three skill points to suspend the time of the black robe world.
The remaining four skill points are just enough for Kevin to go to the Marvel world.
The matter of the Water Group has come to an end. Kevin has finished the rest of the work, and he is free from trouble here.
He can also have more time to study magic and try to start a second career.
After allocating skill points and clicking OK, Kevin, who had once again been comprehensively improved, left the office and went to the 82nd floor to attend a meeting chaired by ‘Edgar’.
The content of this meeting was very simple, that is, Kevin became the agent of the Water Group.
This decision was outrageous to the top management of Water, and it could even be said to be quite outrageous. Many people did not understand Edgar’s decision.
But under the strong request of ‘Edgar’, the board members of these group’s top management had no choice. Except for a few who did not express their opinions, the rest supported Edgar’s decision.
Kevin officially became the acting CEO of the Water Group from today.
As for Edgar himself?
He will completely hide behind the scenes from now on, and when Kevin can fully control the Water Group, he will transfer the position of CEO to Kevin.
Remove the title of agent.
The meeting ended with Kevin becoming the acting CEO. After everyone left, 'Edgar' turned back into the fat man who almost stretched his suit in front of Kevin.
"Hey."
Seeing the clone return to his original form in front of him, Kevin looked at him unkindly.
The clone's forehead was covered with sweat, and he begged:
"I'm sorry, sir, I'm really sorry, but...but my abdomen hurts too much...you know, my ability causes me to have abdominal pain, and I've been enduring it for a whole morning..."
"You can go to the bathroom and stay there for a while longer on the pretext of 'constipation'."
"Yes...I wanted to go, but...you told me to complete the power transfer today, so..."
After hearing what the clone said, Kevin couldn't bring himself to blame him, and sighed:
"Okay, pay attention next time."
Most of the superpowers created by Compound No. 5 actually have a little side effect.
For example, the gills in the original deep sea abdomen, and the abdominal pain when the clone used his ability at this moment.
After all, there are only a few people who can use their abilities perfectly and without side effects. Even many people have side effects that are greater than their own abilities, which brings them extremely serious pain and torture.
And this is why Kevin wants to 'eliminate' superhumans.
After all, he has become the president of Walter, and he should do something for these victims.
There is another more important reason. The world does not need so many superhumans. The more superhumans there are, the more chaotic the world will be.
So it is imperative to reduce the number of superhumans. If Kevin is the only person in the world with special abilities, it would be great.
After waiting for a while, Kevin watched the clone use his abilities again and turned back to Edgar's appearance, and then said:
"You did a good job today. When I get familiar with the work, you don't have to come here every day."
"Yes."
The clone Edgar nodded respectfully, and after a while he suddenly took out a document and handed it to Kevin:
"By the way, sir, this is what I found in a file cabinet encrypted with a fingerprint lock in Edgar's room. I think you should take a look."
"What is this?"
"The adoption certificate of a congressman. Do you remember Victoria Newman, the congressman? Recently, she has been making statements to denounce what the Water Group has done, but in fact... she is Edgar's adopted daughter."
The clone explained.
Kevin also opened the file at the same time and reviewed the contents.
This is indeed an adoption certificate, a certificate of Victoria Newman's transfer from the Red River Welfare House to Edgar's name.
In addition to the adoption procedures, there are also Newman's previous identity information and the forged identity experience now.
Kevin smiled as he held Newman's file.
He was still thinking about contacting Edgar's "trump card", but he didn't expect that the pillow would come when he dozed off. The clone found Newman's information so quickly.
It also gave Kevin a reason to find Newman.
"That's great." Throwing the information on the table, Kevin said to the clone: "You and I will visit her later. You should know her current address, right?"
"Yes, it's written in the information, but can we go now? If someone finds out that we have contact with Newman..."
"Won't you wait until you get there before transforming?"
"...I understand."
...
Newman's home address is not difficult to find. The key is that Newman is the most popular and hottest congressman in the media today.
She bravely questioned the Water Group and spoke out loudly about her doubts about Water in public, making many people become her supporters.
Therefore, many people are now watching Newman.
Reporters, political opponents, and some tabloid paparazzi.
In this case, if someone finds out that she is meeting Edgar and having an affair with the CEO of the Water Group, then everything will be ruined.
Kevin doesn't want her political future to be bleak, so he is very considerate and chooses to meet Newman in the evening.
After making sure that there are no reporters watching near Newman's house, Kevin asked his clone to turn into Edgar and rang the doorbell of Newman's house.
"!?"
The door was opened, and a beautiful woman who seemed to have Indian descent walked out.
Her expression was originally very relaxed, but when she saw that it was Edgar, her eyes widened instantly.
She ignored the fact that Kevin was following behind ‘Edgar’, and let the two of them into the room the moment she opened the door, and said in a puzzled voice:
"Why... did you come here now? Why didn't you notify me? You should know by now..."
"Of course we know."
'Edgar' stopped Newman from continuing, and he took Kevin into the living room, sat down in the living room, and looked at Newman:
"But none of this matters now."
"Not important?"
Newman looked at Edgar in astonishment.
She entered politics, expressed her views on the Water Group, and deliberately opposed Water in order to obtain resources for her advancement in politics. These were all strategies formulated by Edgar.
Why did the other party now say that this was not important?
Newman was confused until Kevin spoke:
"Yes, it is not important, Ms. Newman."
Newman then turned his attention to Kevin.
Kevin Moskowitz, Newman certainly knew him.
Or in other words, no one in the top management of all parties could ignore his existence.
The only person who entered the decision-making level of the Water Group as a superhuman, a very famous star in the seven-member team, a powerful superhuman, and even has the superpower to control seawater.
Newman knew him, and he also knew that Edgar was trying to reduce the other party's influence within the group and on the Internet.
It stands to reason that Edgar and Kevin should be hostile to each other, but why did Edgar bring him here?
"You..."
After thinking for a long time, Newman tried to talk to Kevin.
Kevin smiled at her, and then set his eyes on Edgar.
In Newman's eyes, the two smiled at each other as if they had reached some agreement.
Then, in Newman's shocked and unbelievable eyes, Edgar turned into a very fat man in front of her.
The moment she saw this man, Newman understood everything.
Kevin also smiled and said:
"Okay, Ms. Newman, let's talk about your future with the Water Group now, how about it?"
Listening to Kevin's words, Newman completely lost her strength and collapsed on the sofa.
