Absorbing Energy?
After watching Robet disappear, Lorna's eyes darted around. She thought of the interrupted conversation her older brother had made earlier, and her gaze fixed on Kara. She chuckled and said, "Kara, what Pietro just said, could it be true? Could some people be taking advantage of Robet's lack of awareness to claim the so-called girlfriend position?"
When Kara heard Lorna's sudden attack, her expression stiffened slightly. Pietro, Peter Parker, and Barry Allen, who were also eager to watch the drama unfold, sensed the awkward atmosphere around them. They exchanged a glance and quietly moved aside.
"Heh, how dare you question my relationship with Robet? Do you even notice Robet when he talks to you?" Kara squinted at Lorna. During this time, regardless of whether Robet came to school or not, Lorna hadn't given up provoking Kara. Especially after gaining further power from the Talisman, Lorna's confidence swelled up again.
"Robet is ignoring me now or not is a completely different matter from whether you've taken his girlfriend's place!" Lorna shrugged, a slight smirk playing on her lips as she looked at Kara with a hint of smugness. "Or do you have proof that you're already boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Hmph! Robet entrusted the Succubus to me before. Isn't it enough that someone as combat-loving as him would let me handle his opponent?" Kara thought of Robet entrusting the Succubus to her and looked at Lorna with some arrogance.
"Does this count?" Lorna blinked. She hadn't expected this to be the focus of Kara's boasting. But Lorna quickly recovered and looked at Kara with a teasing smile, saying, "So he's going to leave those Demon to us to deal with? Doesn't that mean we hold the same place in his heart as you?"
"How can they be the same? The Succubus was quite strong at first. Robet wanted to fight but gave it to me in the end. As for the weaker Demon, Robet thought they could help you hone your skills, so he called you on..." Kara glared angrily at Lorna, barely suppressing the urge to punch Lorna away as she spoke.
However, as she spoke, Kara's confidence waned, because while there were indeed some differences, they weren't significant enough to prove that Kara was Peter Parker's girlfriend, a figure above his friends.
"What's wrong? Don't you have any other evidence?" Lorna noticed Kara's momentum starting to wane, so she looked at Kara with a hint of smugness and said, "You didn't do anything intimate with Robet, did you?"
"Hmph! How could that be! We've done all sorts of intimate things, but why should I tell you? This isn't something you should be asking!" Kara, having lost her first exchange with Lorna, stubbornly retorted.
"You don't need to tell me, I've already guessed some of your behavior... Hmm? Don't even think about hitting us, this is a school! If you want to fight us, we'll talk about it after school tonight!" Lorna's expression became increasingly smug, but she quickly stiffened and warned Kara in a low voice as she looked at her, who was about to make a move.
"Hmph! You just wait after school!" Kara glared fiercely at Lorna and stormed back to her seat.
Meanwhile, Robet took off quickly after leaving the school, heading towards Johnny Storm and Susan Storm. Halfway there, he received Telepathic Communication from Clark: "Is your target the Demon two hundred miles ahead? If so, I won't be going..."
"Hmm? Is it Demon too? Not a monster?" Robet's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this. When he heard Johnny Storm's distress call earlier, Robet thought it was some kind of monster. Now it seemed that it was just a misnomer from Johnny Storm and the others because they didn't understand Demon.
"It is indeed Demon. I saw your friend secretly try to fight back, but that Demon seems to have a special ability, immune to fire and explosions. Be careful!" Clark's admonition echoed in Robet's mind, prompting Robet to speed up.
"Immune to fire and explosions? No wonder Johnny asked me for help. I wonder what kind of ability it is that makes him immune to fire and explosions..." Robet raised an eyebrow, pondering.
"Found it!" Just as Robet, he sensed the Demon's aura and also saw the Stone Family's house, which was mostly destroyed.
Robet had to admit that the Stone Family had truly had a lot of bad luck; it hadn't been that long since they last rebuilt their house...
Perhaps the feng shui here is bad? Or perhaps one of Johnny Storm and Susan Storm is simply having a run of bad luck?
It seems like only the Stone family has their house constantly being demolished after gaining superpowers. After all, neither Peter Parker and his Peter Parker, nor Steve, encountered this situation after gaining superpowers...
"Energy! You little bug! Keep coming out! Bombard me with your energy!" As Robet approached, he heard the Demon's roar. But as the Demon roared, it suddenly turned around, looked in Robet's direction, and its expression became excited. "Such powerful energy! Delicious! So delicious!"
With a "whoosh!", before the Demon could finish speaking, Robet unleashed a Ki Blast. However, when the Ki Blast collided with the Demon's body, a suction force erupted from within the Demon's body, absorbing all the energy of the Ki Blast.
As the energy of the Ki Blast was absorbed, the Demon's body became even more ferocious, and it shouted at Robet with even greater excitement, "Not enough! Still not enough! I can sense that there is even more powerful energy within you. Release it all and let me have some fun!"
"Can devour energy?" Robet instantly realized the Demon's ability. He frowned; this was troublesome. He wondered if this guy purely devoured energy, or if he could devour all power, and what the limit of his devouring was...
In the Dragon Ball World, there are some enemies who can absorb the energy of others, but this ability has its limits. However, Robet needs to slowly discover the limits of the Demon before him...
With a "whoosh!", Robet didn't rush directly at the Demon. Instead, he rushed to a spot not far in front of the Demon and threw a punch. The powerful force of the punch turned into a gust of wind and struck the Demon's body.
This time, however, the Demon did not absorb Robet's attack as it had absorbed the Ki Blast before. Instead, it was knocked back several steps and looked at Robet with a look of surprise and doubt.
"It can only absorb energy, not power?" Robet raised an eyebrow, quickly understanding the limitation of this Demon's ability. But then again, if this Demon's ability had no limitations, it would have already dominated a region in Hell.
"You..." The Demon looked at Robet and was about to say something when Robet's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, his aura exploding instantly, transforming him from Vegeta into the Great Ape Power: Wrath form in a split second.
This time, however, Robet quickly locked the surging energy within his body, without leaking a single bit of energy. This was the best way to deal with enemies who could absorb energy. Of course, the limitation was that Robet's combat power would be fixed at this level in this state, and he would not be able to continue to improve his combat power through the Great Ape Power: Wrath.
With a loud "bang!", just as the Demon reacted and tried to grab Robet, Robet's fist landed on his face. The Demon's body flew into the air. In mid-air, the Demon tried to struggle to fly, but Robet's next punch landed on Demon.
"Is that Robet?" In a corner of the Stone Family, Johnny Storm and Susan Storm, who had been concealed, gradually revealed themselves. Johnny Storm looked at Robet and the Demon receding into the distance and muttered, "Why do they look different from last time?"
"How would I know? Let's go take a look," Susan Storm said softly, her eyes flickering slightly. "We thought that returning to the supernatural world would bring about some changes, but it seems we're still far from being strong enough!"
With a "whoosh," under Susan Storm's control, the two figures floated up and disappeared once again.
"It must be that monster's fault. He seems to have a knack for countering me. Robet's first attack didn't work on that monster either, did it?" Johnny Storm said somewhat unconvinced. "My flames can shake mountains, that monster is clearly not afraid of that kind of power..."
With a loud "thump," Robet kicked the Demon to the ground in the wilderness on the other side. To be honest, not being able to use Ki Blast was a kind of weakening for Robet. After all, without the destructive power of Ki Blast, it would be quite difficult to blow up the Demon with just his fists.
Furthermore, Robet felt that he should perhaps call Kara over to fight this Demon; after all, it seemed that Kara was more suited to fighting such an enemy without using her Heat Vision...
"You bastard! Try punching me again!" The Demon, who had been knocked to the ground by Robet, stood up and roared at Robet, who was still in mid-air.
"What's wrong with trying?" Robet appeared in front of the Demon and punched it. But at that moment, a powerful Explosive Flames erupted from the Demon 'Demon body. Robet was familiar with this power; it was the power of the Dragon Talisman.
Clearly, the Demon could not only absorb energy, but also release it, and he wanted to use this opportunity to catch Robet off guard.
With a "whoosh," Robet frowned and subconsciously erected an Ki Barrier to block the Explosive Flames. But at that moment, the Demon's eyes lit up, and it instantly absorbed the energy contained in the Ki Barrier!
"Hmm?" Robet frowned. Facing the Explosive Flames coming from the explosion, he changed his attack again. A surge of Telekinesis emerged, forming a Telekinetic Barrier. Robet calmly retreated, avoiding the range of the Explosive Flames.
With a "whoosh!" sound, at that moment, the Demon released a Ki Blast that blasted towards Robet. Robet threw a punch, sending the Ki Blast flying like a ball, blasting a small hill in the distance.
"It's a bit stronger than the Ki Blast I just released. Is it because it absorbed my Ki Barrier?" Robet shook his hand and looked at the Demon as a thought flashed through his mind.
At this moment, the Demon underwent a new change. His body was thinner than before, and it seemed that releasing energy was a huge drain on Demon, because this energy did not essentially belong to him. Releasing the energy was equivalent to losing it.
The Demon was clearly aware of this weakness, and each time he unleashed his energy, he chose a crucial moment. Unfortunately, Robet managed to neutralize these attacks, causing the Demon to panic and make him want to escape...
"Since that's the case, let's try a different fighting style!" A thought flashed through Robet's mind, and he vanished from his spot once more, reappearing beside the Demon and throwing a Demon at it...
