Light Speed ​​War

Chapter 195: Playing with the Sun

Young Alton looked at Zhou Yuan and the other two with an expression of awe and confusion on his face.

"Uncle Zhou, we misunderstood you, but I'm very curious..."

"What are you curious about?"

"Your superpowers are indeed very impressive, but they all seem to be related to the human mind. I'd like to know about your ability to control objects."

Everyone became interested after hearing Alton's words, including Elder Kongxiang.

Panna smiled mysteriously, while Chu Xiaolu was still unaware of what was going on.

"Alton, Elder Kongxiang, are you testing my superpowers?"

"Zhou Yuan, don't be angry. We just want to know how powerful your superpowers are and what kind of superpowers you are good at." Although Elder Kong Xiang was grateful that Zhou Yuan let him go, he was very interested in Zhou Yuan. You know, even James, the ancestor of superpowers, was slightly inferior to him in terms of the ability to control people.

"Brother Zhou, don't mind, I'll play with you. Let's have a match."

Seeing that even the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, Alton, had said so, Zhou Yuan felt it was inappropriate to refuse, especially since the boy suited his current personality.

"Ok."

Elder Kongxiang led the way, and everyone left the courtyard and came to the main square.

Everyone stood far away, leaving only Zhou Yuan and Alton facing each other in the center of the square.

"Uncle Zhou, let's all stop here. You'll have to take care of me." Alton smiled mischievously.

"Do not worry."

Alton took a pair of sunglasses out of his pocket and put them on, then looked up at the sky. Zhou Yuan also turned around and looked at the sky curiously. The onlookers all looked in the direction of the sky that Alton was looking at.

Suddenly, a dozen or so bright spots moved rapidly across the sky, growing larger and larger. Zhou Yuan gasped; they were a dozen or so fireballs the size of meteorites. These dozen or so massive fireballs were hurtling straight towards Zhou Yuan!

Alton had already slipped away to Elder Kongxiang and the others.

Zhou Yuan remained standing in the center of the square, motionless. Everyone was worried for him, wondering why he didn't dodge.

Since this world is so chaotic and crazy, this time, I'm going to go all out!

Zhou Yuan raised both hands, spread his ten fingers, and flicked them towards the sun, quickly touching the sun's face in the air.

Many people watched this scene with curiosity, wondering what Zhou Yuan was up to. Even Pan Na was wondering what Zhou Yuan was doing at this moment.

"My God!" Alton suddenly exclaimed. Everyone turned from looking up at the sky to looking down, following Alton's gaze to the ground around Zhou Yuan. Ten circular points of light had appeared on the ground near Zhou Yuan, and between the points of light, there were no light, but shadows! Following the direction of the points of light and the sun, everyone looked up at the sky again, and there were ten intense beams of light. These ten intense beams of light became more and more focused and dazzling. Except for Panna and Alton, everyone turned their heads away and could not look directly at them. A dozen or so explosions came from the sky. The dozen or so meteor-like fireballs were hit by the intense beams of light and all exploded. The dozen or so meteor-like fireballs were like fireworks in the sky.

Elder Kongxiang, Alton, Dora, Cruise, Chu Xiaolu, and everyone else except Panna were stunned.

"Alton, I want to know where those dozen or so fireballs came from?"

"Uncle Zhou, those are meteorites."

Zhou Yuan looked at Alton in surprise, "Your superpower is to move meteorites from space?"

“Yes, that’s right,” Alton replied weakly, “but that’s all we can do is move meteorites.”

Zhou Yuan thought to himself, "If I could move other things, taking someone's head from thousands of miles away would be incredible."

"Uncle Zhou, how did you do that? You actually concentrated sunlight to destroy the meteorite! That's amazing!"

Alton spoke for everyone: even LeBron James can't match that level of control.

"Oh, is it that impressive? I don't think so."

"No way? You have something even more amazing?" Alton, the little boy, got playful. "Uncle Zhou, please show us! Just this once, please!"

"Hey pretty girl, why don't you show us what you've got? I'm afraid I'll cause a huge mess."

"Uncle, what's the big deal? I'll hold the sky up even if it falls." Panna winked playfully at Zhou Yuan, looking fearless.

"Elder Kongxiang, what do you say?"

Elder Kongxiang was already trembling inside. He hadn’t expected Zhou Yuan to be so powerful. He had tried to control him to find out his secrets before, but he was controlled by him instead and almost lost his life. This time, he actually focused the light. Is this something a human can do?

Everyone looked at Elder Kongxiang, waiting for him to speak. These people with superpowers were all capable individuals, so they naturally paid attention to those with superpowers and were very curious about superpowers they had never seen before.

After a minute of silence, Elder Kongxiang finally spoke, "To be honest, I'm also very curious. This is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity. Please."

Upon hearing Elder Kongxiang's words, Zhou Yuan turned around and returned to the center of the square.

Zhou Yuan looked up at the sun in the sky, and everyone else followed suit. The sunlight was quite strong, and some people couldn't stand the glare and looked away.

Zhou Yuan withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, and remained standing still.

Everyone looked at Zhou Yuan with anticipation.

A dozen minutes later, Zhou Yuan opened his eyes, looked at the sun, raised his right hand, and snapped his fingers in the direction of the sun.

After the snap of the fingers, the sun, which had been shining brightly just moments before, was as if shrouded in darkness. The sky instantly darkened, and the earth was plunged into complete darkness. The sun disappeared from people's sight, and as if night had fallen, the stars in the sky twinkled clearly.

Zhou Yuan snapped his fingers again, and a dazzling light shone forth. The sun returned to the sky, the stars disappeared, and the world was once again filled with light.

The entire square was completely silent. Everyone in the silence could feel their hearts pounding, their hearts swelling as if they were about to burst out of their chests.

But the madness continued.

After the sun reappeared, Zhou Yuan stepped out of the square and stomped his feet on the ground, the crisp sound of his feet hitting the ground rhythmic. He started tap dancing, and he sang.

With a rhythmic tap-tap of his footsteps, Zhou Yuan snapped his fingers repeatedly towards the sun. Each snap was like accompaniment to a dance step, accompanied by the sun's flickering and the earth's changing light. Zhou Yuan's steps quickened, and the snapping fingers accelerated accordingly. The entire world seemed to go mad, yet it played out an orderly symphony of light and darkness. The stars were the audience, the sky the curtain, the earth the stage, Zhou Yuan the singer and the dancer, the tap-tap music the accompaniment, his fingers the conductor's baton, and the intermittent flashing of the sun the special effects lighting.

"Emperors and generals are all things of the past."

Grand ambitions and empires have become a thing of the past.

The world is vast and varied, like a dream or an illusion.

Millions of people live on the sidelines, yet they remain mere spectators.

Life and death, rise and fall, are determined by Heaven and Earth.

If you are strong, why be confused?

If you are a coward, why be crazy?

The twinkling stars are the echo of my heartstrings.

The distant sun is the light of my wild dance.

The vast earth is my paradise of willfulness.

I use space to fly infinitely.

I will use time to sing forever.

With my hands, I pluck the strings of light and shadow.

"Heaven and earth, freely within my heart"

Suddenly, Zhou Yuan's dance steps slowed down, the tapping sounds gradually stopped, and as the rhythm of the final beat faded, the singing and finger snapping abruptly ceased. The dim earth was bathed in light, the sunlight shone brightly, and everything returned to normal.

This time, Zhou Yuan snapped his fingers more than 120 times in a row, indulging in his madness to the fullest.

Zhou Yuan turned to look at the crowd. Apart from Pan Na and Chu Xiaolu, all the superhumans in the square were already kneeling on the ground.

Panna and Chu Xiaolu's eyes were filled with love and excitement.

Zhou Yuan quickly ran over, "Everyone, don't do this. It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing. It's been a long time since I've been this crazy. Everyone, please get up."

Everyone felt a strong force supporting them. Some tried to resist, but their bodies wouldn't obey them, and they gradually stood up.

Alton didn't speak; his little mouth was tightly closed, his face was flushed, and he looked a little nervous.

"Master Zhou, let me address you as such. Our little temple of the Superpowered Alliance is far too small to accommodate someone as great as you," Elder Kongxiang sighed.

"Elder..." Dolai wanted to say something, but was stopped by Elder Kongxiang's gesture.

"Master Zhou, this world is probably already in chaos. We need to find the leader; this matter is unlikely to end well."

"Okay, I understand." Zhou Yuan thought to himself that his crazy actions earlier had probably already caused an uproar among the humans on Earth. Well, even the Martians should have noticed it by now. Who cares about the Martians? What this world lacks isn't madness, but normalcy.

"Dole, Cruz, you two see Zhou Daxian and the other two off." Elder Kongxiang seemed to be full of worry and looked weak.

“Yes, Elder.” Dora and Cruz bowed in agreement.

"Alright then, goodbye everyone." Zhou Yuan waved to the crowd. Several superhumans nervously and reflexively took two steps back. That was the "Great Immortal's" finger!

Zhou Yuan glanced at Alton; the little guy seemed reluctant to part with him, his eyes shining with longing.

Zhou Yuan turned around, took Pan Na and Chu Xiaolu's hands, and strode forward.

Dore and Cruise led Zhou Yuan and the other two toward the helicopter, whose pilot had already passed out.

Cruise punched the pilot, who woke up with a cry of "Ouch!" and quickly started the plane.

The superhumans in the square watched the plane gradually move away and disappear behind the mountaintop before they could finally catch their breath and their heartbeats gradually calmed down.

"Elder, why are you sending him away? If he were to join us..."

"Alton, you need to understand, if he joins the organization, can two tigers share one mountain?"

Alton nodded. Today's scene was too bizarre, more like a dream.

"Who among you recorded this?" Elder Kongxiang straightened his white beard, his imposing demeanor returning.

“Elder, I’ve recorded it,” a middle-aged man with white hair replied.

"Good job! Give me the video, I'll send it to the boss right away!"

"Yes, Elder." The white-haired man handed the point-and-shoot camera to Elder Kongxiang.

Elder Kongxiang looked up at the sun, quickly covered his eyes with his hand, and walked into the house with his face covered, leaving everyone puzzled.

"Master Zhou... Master Zhou, I'm so sorry. I..." Dore stammered.

"Doraemon, it's alright."

"Master Zhou, what are your plans for the next step?"

"I don't know. This world is too crazy. I'll just take it one day at a time."

"Yes, ever since those five stars and 45 planets appeared, the already insane world has gone even crazier."

There's something I don't understand, and I'm not sure if I should ask you.

"Please tell me first."

What does "the supreme ruler" mean?

"The number nine and five, in ancient history, was a symbol of the emperor."

"Oh."

"But don't you find it strange?"

"What's weird?"

"Stars and planets five light-years away, strange phenomena appear in the sky, surely indicating the birth of monsters. Since the appearance of stars and planets five light-years away, this world has been in turmoil. Werewolves and demons have been mobilized. Even on Mars, warships have appeared and probes have been launched. However, this strange phenomenon is five suns, each with nine planets. The numbers together make up nine and five, which seems to be an omen of the appearance of an emperor."

Zhou Yuan then realized that this "Supreme Ruler" was just someone who conformed to the number nine and five? However, Thomas and the others had not considered these things before deciding on hyperspace travel.

Could it be that everything in this world is proceeding according to a plan, or a script, and that I'm just putting on a show? And my frantic tap dancing performance in the square might just be a puppet show within that play?
