Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 841: The Most Unreasonable Superpower
"Using their own methods to defeat them, impressive! Are you Murong Fu?" Pei Yan, already mentally prepared for the destruction of his electromagnetic cannon, was not bothered by Flamel's sarcasm and even had the mood to tease him.
"Murong Fu? I have no idea what nonsense you're talking about!" Flamel retorted with his mouth, but secretly noted the unfamiliar name, planning to investigate who this person could be, someone Pei Yan kept mentioning and comparing him to. The name seemed from the Daoist Realm — could this be a new rising star from there?
Pei Yan was unaware that the novel character he casually mentioned would trigger such imagination in Flamel. Even if he knew, he'd be happy to let Flamel indulge in wild thoughts. Seeing Flamel caught in brief contemplation, Pei Yan's figure lightly swayed and disappeared from his original position.
"Hmph! After all that struggling, you still resort to close combat? How unoriginal!" Flamel sneered with disdain as Pei Yan vanished, his fingers faintly trembling, immediately concealing his silhouette in the void.
"You're not the only one who can enter parallel space in this world. Unfortunately for you, you've encountered an enemy more skilled in space techniques. I can break through your space to find you, but you can't do the same. Now, while you're exposed and I'm hidden, I can freely unleash a forbidden spell for a deadly strike, and what can you do with no target?"
Flamel's mocking voice echoed above the battlefield, and Pei Yan's figure appeared at the original spot of his high-speed advance, enduring the ridicule.
As Flamel said, Pei Yan had a significant gap in spatial techniques compared to him. Unable to find a solution, he seemed to choose to retaliate later. Amidst the puzzled gazes of others, he stood still, repeatedly making a strange gesture.
"What's Pei Yan doing? Has he given up?" Outside, Jiang Feiyang, hands on the railing, jumped up and down while watching Pei Yan in the light screen, fiddling with a coin and muttering words, looking both puzzled and worried.
"Given up? Have you ever seen him give up?" Wang Wenze, though verbally reprimanding Jiang Feiyang, shared his concern. Considering Pei Yan's predicament, he couldn't help but sigh. "Pei Yan has no choice. In spatial techniques, not just him but only a few experts in the entire Foundation Plane's Superpower Realm—I once asked Elder Lin why this is so, and Elder Lin said it stems from our plane's understanding. Our abilities originate from projections of our world's perception, and in a science-based world, space is relatively profound and obscure, unlike other realms where laws are disregarded. I think Pei Yan must have his strategy, and adopting a retaliatory approach might be a good choice."
"I understand without you saying, but standing there doing nothing, letting that jerk finish his forbidden spell, is that it?" Jiang Feiyang, listening to Wang Wenze's lengthy explanation, watching time slip by with Pei Yan tossing the coin, shouted impatiently.
"Then tell me, what would you do?" Wang Wenze, also heated, roared back.
"Quiet down! It's not as bad as it seems. If nothing goes wrong, you'll soon witness the most unreasonable superpower."
"The most unreasonable superpower?" Wenze and Jiang Feiyang turned to Gu Shenghui, who spoke, his expression mixed with urgency and excitement. They realized Pei Yan must have a hidden trump card and relaxed a bit, though still confused—what kind of superpower is neither the strongest, the most malicious, nor the fastest, but the most unreasonable?
Meanwhile, Pei Yan continued to toss the coin in the field. Amidst voices guessing "heads" and "tails," the coin repeatedly soared, and with each landing, his expression alternated between joy and disappointment.
In parallel space, secretly observing the outside world, Flamel couldn't see the expression beneath Pei Yan's visor, yet was unsettled by his bizarre actions. Resuming his spell chanting, he condescendingly echoed: "What are you doing? Praying for divine protection with coin tosses? You folks from the Foundation Plane also have gods? Oh right, I forgot your gods are us! Ha, that's interesting! I think you'd be better off asking Lin Daozi for help."
"Haha, Flamel, your joke isn't funny. Heads! Haha! Continue your chanting. Don't waste energy trying to distract me with words; it's useless! Tails! Darn!" Pei Yan, responding while guessing heads or tails, was elated when guessed right and annoyed when wrong, entirely unbothered by Flamel's taunts.
"What are you doing?" Flamel, seeing Pei Yan remain confident, warily asked.
"Heads! You want to know? I'll give you a little hint!" Pei Yan continued to toss the coin, smiling: "As Children of Origin, we naturally excel in ways beyond other cultivators. Heads! In the Foundation Plane, Children of Origin gain a new superpower every two stages after stepping beyond the fourth stage. Heads! You might think you know my powers well enough, but what about my sister's?"
Listening, Flamel's expression stiffened. In contrast, Pei Yan grew more cheerful: "In our recent battles, whether attacking or transforming, my sister only used her innate superpower. Heads! As for her additional powers gained from advancing, including the power absorbed from the Secret Prison and the one granted by Origin, she hasn't displayed any in public. Do you think my coin toss has something to do with those powers?"
"Tails!"
Saying the final word, Pei Yan tossed the coin into the air, and everyone, including the audience, tensed up with its flight. Under the Immortal Palace elder's control, a special light screen amplifying the coin's imagery was added.
The coin spun slowly in mid-air before dropping into Pei Yan's palm, landing face-down—tails!
"Luck!" Pei Yan laughed, exclaiming at his fortune, finally gathering enough luck. Without hesitation, he spread his arms, and a gigantic circular disk materialized behind him.
