Tatsumaki raised her small hand, palm facing Jordan, a devilish smile appearing on her face.
"You blocked it so easily. If I use a little more force, you shouldn't die, right?"
Although Mind Network couldn't read Tatsumaki's thoughts, Jordan could easily guess from her expression.
She's planning to use me as a punching bag!
"It's alright. Come on!"
"I can take it," Jordan said calmly.
Stunned by the imposing aura of the man before her, Tatsumaki looked at the tall, commanding figure and felt a strange sense of déjà vu that stirred her heart.
At this moment, Jordan was like the man who'd brought her freedom and hope in her childhood...
The flashback scene was shattered before it even began. Tatsumaki saw Jordan seemingly assume a martial arts stance, gesturing and beckoning at her.
"Come on! I'm going to take on ten of you today!"
With a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, the psychic light around Tatsumaki grew even more intense. Her emerald green hair, along with her dress that offered maximum privacy protection, began to flutter uncontrollably.
Seemingly provoked by Jordan, the psychic power Tatsumaki unleashed this time was more than a hundred times stronger in both scale and intensity than the first attack!
A terrifying force field condensed in the air like a giant's fist and smashed into the barrier in front of Jordan without any fancy moves.
An unimaginable force pierced through the surface, instantly exceeding the barrier's maximum strength!
As countless spiderweb-like cracks appeared, the barrier shattered silently. The psychic energy that broke through exploded like a meteor. The violently compressed air formed a dazzling jet-like tail flame, continuing to accelerate toward Jordan.
The smile on Tatsumaki's lips hadn't even fully formed before it froze in the next moment.
One after another, new force field barriers appeared. The powerful psychic attack shattered three barriers in a row, leaving clear cracks on the fourth barrier before finally exhausting its strength.
The ripple-like force field barrier was repaired in the blink of an eye. The distance between Tatsumaki's attack and Jordan did not increase by even one inch.
"You think you can defeat me with such a crude attack? You're being too naive."
The two had now reached the boundary between sea and land, with steep cliffs and magnificent waves beneath their feet.
The repeated thwarting of her attacks made Tatsumaki embarrassed. With her psychic power highly concentrated, her eyes burst forth with blazing white light!
A green wave of psychic energy swept through the air like a blade, splitting the cliff beneath their feet in two. Countless shattered rocks were amplified by Tatsumaki's psychic energy, twisting into a tornado that seemed to connect heaven and earth. It roared as it lunged toward Jordan in the air!
"Muda muda muda!" Jordan darted through the tornado filled with rock fragments. The psychic rock-shattering attacks—whose speed and kinetic energy far exceeded sniper bullets—were deflected by the magnetic field defenses around him. None of them actually hit their targets. "These kinds of attacks are useless against me... What?"
Suddenly, Tatsumaki appeared above Jordan with a smile on her face. Her ten fingers stretched toward him, unleashing the world's strongest psychic powers!
A spherical telekinetic field with a diameter of over ten kilometers descended from all directions. Jordan, located at the center, was like a caged bird—overwhelmed by the omnipresent telekinetic force and completely enveloped within it!
The moment the force field converged, both earth and ocean were forcibly cut open, creating a huge gap that formed a bottomless pit full of visual tension—as if the ground had opened a pitch-black entrance to hell!
A massive amount of seawater surged wildly into the suddenly appearing cavity in the earth's crust. The turbulent, reverse-flowing water formed a super vortex large enough to swallow a giant ship. Meanwhile, the giant spherical psychic field in the sky collapsed abruptly with a clenched fist from Tatsumaki!
Soil, plants, rocks, seawater, and the marine life unfortunately caught in it were all shattered by the unparalleled psychic power, instantly losing their original material form.
As the sphere radiating green light rapidly contracted, the surge in gravity swept across everything on the surface. Tens of thousands of tons of seawater defied gravity and climbed toward the sky, transforming into a clear, transparent, aquamarine mountain peak that shimmered in the sunlight!
Phew... I think I've done enough to make him realize the gap between us...
At this moment, feeling superior, Tatsumaki was smug and wanted to release the trapped Jordan. However, the scene before her eyes was beyond her imagination, causing her to exclaim in surprise.
In an instant, the surface of the psychic sphere—which had shrunk to a diameter of just over ten meters—suddenly cracked open with an incredibly smooth cut. Then, the almost-compressed concentrated matter and the completely unbalanced chaotic psychic power merged and expanded, ultimately forming a nuclear-like explosion!
A mushroom cloud of intense heat replaced the hellish tornado that had been there, standing tall between heaven and earth. The seemingly decided battle was reversed in the blink of an eye!
The intense light from the explosion was so striking that Tatsumaki instinctively raised her hand to shield herself. The powerful shockwave was completely blocked by the psychic shield around her.
But at this moment, she was still very curious about what method Jordan had used to destroy her killing move.
It was worth noting that the last time a monster was identified as Dragon-level, it had been hit by this attack and crushed into dust by the collapsing telekinetic force without any ability to resist.
At that moment, a pitch-black figure appeared behind Tatsumaki without warning. Its arm, radiating a highly concentrated magnetic field, silently extended its demonic claws toward her!
"Don't think about it!"
"I've got you this time!"
At the critical moment, Tatsumaki unleashed a terrifying telekinetic attack in an attempt to push away the attacker behind her. But Jordan—who'd just revealed himself—ripped through the telekinetic attack as if tearing a lace shirt and precisely grabbed Tatsumaki's arm.
Tatsumaki felt as if her arm was being gripped tightly by a pair of pliers. The pain made her heart tremble inexplicably. She was about to unleash her anger, but she froze the moment she looked up at Jordan.
A towering figure whose face was obscured emerged from the depths of her memory and overlapped with the powerful man before her.
"How did you do it?"
As the surging psychic power subsided, Jordan—who'd been ready to continue his attack—glanced curiously at the green-haired esper who was looking down and seemingly lost in thought. He casually explained, "It was the power of the magnetic field. I used the magnetic field to accelerate and create electromagnetic waves with a frequency exceeding trillions of hertz. The force field shaped a gamma-ray dagger, and I used this power to destroy your psychic field."
I don't understand... Never mind, they're all psychic powers anyway!
"So that's how it is. In that case, you and 'him' are indeed using different powers."
Jordan realized the "him" Tatsumaki was referring to was probably the scumbag Blast who'd flirted with her and then run away.
Isn't it inappropriate for this brat to bring up another man at a time like this?
Jordan couldn't help but squint. For a moment, his damned competitive spirit suddenly took over.
