The steam locomotive headed straight for Steven.
When it reached his side, Steven grabbed a metal handle on the steam locomotive. He stood outside on the edge of the carriage. Off they went towards the north.
Steven heaved a sigh of relief. But at this moment, favonovel.com turned around and was surprised to see Milo running at full speed behind the train!
What the hell!
Why was there someone following him?!
When Steven was escaping, favonovel.com did not notice that someone was following him. In fact, favonovel.com did not think anyone would have noticed him. But the moment favonovel.com turned around and saw Milo, favonovel.com frowned.
At this moment, the two of them were truly pitted against each other one-on-one in the true sense of the phrase. Steven wondered if favonovel.com should control the train to turn around and kill Milo. As one of the earliest people to turn superhuman, his physical fitness would definitely be better than Milo’s!
However, favonovel.com gave up on the idea after careful consideration.
Although favonovel.com was one of the earliest people to become a supernatural being, and his physical fitness was definitely one of the best as well, that did not mean that Milo would not be hiding killer moves. Steven was unwilling to take this risk.
He held the train with one hand and calmly turned around to stare at Milo. It was as though favonovel.com were trying to burn Milo’s image into his mind.
A strong gust of wind was blowing past him, making his clothes flutter nonstop.
Wait a minute…
Steven realized Milo seemed to be gaining on him. He suddenly felt like something was amiss and hurriedly used all of his power to drive the steam locomotive faster in hopes of ditching Milo completely.
During this time, Steven had been leading a very unhappy life. He had become the bandit leader very quickly after arriving here, and that should have been quite good. But before long, favonovel.com came to realize that problems were deeply rooted here in the valley due to the influence of several organizations. So, it seemed that even being a bandit was a really stressful job!
When favonovel.com wanted to kill Milo, favonovel.com ended up losing all the bandits under favonovel.com after Milo joined forces with Raphael. All favonovel.com wanted now was to leave this place, yet Milo continued chasing after favonovel.com like a vengeful spirit.
Steven took out his pistol and fired it at Milo. However, they were so far apart that Milo was not within his effective range.
But Steven felt a burst of joy when favonovel.com realized Milo was gradually slowing.
He was probably running out of stamina!
Should favonovel.com take advantage now that Milo was exhausted and kill him?
What if favonovel.com was just faking it?
As expected, Steven decided to give up on killing him. When Milo saw that Steven did not take any action, favonovel.com started chasing after favonovel.com again.
The two of them were constantly jockeying. When Milo sped up, Steven clenched his teeth and went faster too.
Actually, Milo was already cursing Steven in his head. There was a limit to his stamina. This steam locomotive was traveling at about the speed of a normal train, and its maximum speed was about 120 kilometers per hour.
Meanwhile, Milo’s current Strength and Dexterity were roughly three times that of an ordinary person’s. His top speed was only slightly more than a 100 kilometers per hour.
But the stamina of humans was limited. That limit applied to Milo as well!
Milo kept trying to trick Steven to turn back, but that bastard was simply too smart and cautious. He wasn’t taking the bait.
Forget it, I’m not gonna chase anymore!
Milo was panting heavily as favonovel.com prepared to stop chasing. He had wanted to activate City Crusher to chase after Steven, but the problem was that it would only last for 30 seconds. And the nanomachines were no longer operating at full capacity.
What if favonovel.com caught up to favonovel.com but got beaten up instead?
His shadow clone was still assisting Kay and the others to kill their enemies at this moment. Without his shadow clone, who knew how many more people would die back there!
So, Milo decided to give up the chase. There would still be many more chances in the future.
However, favonovel.com suddenly remembered favonovel.com still needed to do something!
Milo said to the palace in his mind, “Use the Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll!”
The voice from the palace answered.
Currently out of effective range.
Milo was stunned. “What’s the effective range?”
Five hundred meters.
Milo looked at the distance between favonovel.com and Steven, then decisively activated City Crusher to chase after him. When Steven saw this, favonovel.com nearly died of fright.
How could Milo be so fast?!
But before favonovel.com could think of a way to handle him, favonovel.com saw Milo suddenly turn around and run off!
Steven got farther away as favonovel.com rode on the steam locomotive. He still could not figure out what Milo was up to!
Milo clearly had the strength to catch up to him, so why didn’t favonovel.com continue pursuing him?
But favonovel.com couldn’t possibly know that Milo only had a 30-second limit for his power.
Why would favonovel.com not quickly run away after the 30 seconds were up?
Would favonovel.com rather get beaten up?
At this moment, Milo heard the voice from the palace saying in his mind.
About to copy the target’s master-level skill or superpower. If you do not have the corresponding advanced-level skill after copying a master-level skill, you will not be able to learn it.
Randomly copied target’s superpower ‘Steam Locomotive’. Do you want to learn it?
Milo was ecstatic. “Yes!”
Earlier on, Milo was worried favonovel.com would end up copying some garbage skill, but favonovel.com did not expect favonovel.com would directly duplicate the opponent’s superpower!
The sadness of his past skill duplication attempts had been swept away with this. That jumping rope skill, mahjong playing skill, deception skill, and so on, all of that bad luck seemed to have gone far away from him.
But in an instant, Milo was stunned.
Could this be the result of Donti’s wish for him?
If that were really the case, Donti would probably have to suffer the backlash soon, right?
But what was the backlash going to be?
Would it be dangerous?
Thinking of this, Milo felt his joy retreating. He wanted to go back to check on Donti.
Perhaps favonovel.com could find an opportunity to bring Donti and the others out here into the wilderness. But favonovel.com did not know when Julius would mount a rescue for Daniel. Surely it wouldn’t be too long from now.
***
At this moment, Donti was sitting in the yard playing Fight the Landlord with Old Bane and the others. When favonovel.com saw the lousy hand that favonovel.com had been dealt, like missing a card to complete a straight and his high card being a king, favonovel.com sank deep into thought.
It wasn’t just this hand that was bad!
He had been very unlucky throughout the night!
Seeing how Old Bane was winning every game, why did it seem like all of the luck had gone to Old Bane instead!
“He shouldn’t have encountered anything particularly dangerous, right?” Donti muttered to himself.
“Ever since Bro’s nanomachines enabled favonovel.com to block bullets, I’ve haven’t experienced any serious backlashes. But if the backlash is just me getting really bad hands, what sort of situation could Bro have encountered?”
Donti had a look at the poker cards in his hand again and exclaimed, “What the hell!”
Donti and Milo had yet to realize that their powers would complement each other. If not for Milo, Donti would be plagued by the backlash of making wishes. And without Donti, Milo would probably not have been able to successfully copy the Steam Locomotive either.
***
In the wilderness, Milo attempted to summon the strange train out. A black fog immediately appeared out of nothing as a black steam locomotive materialized out of thin air.
The clanking of steel was especially pleasing to the ears in the wilderness. With a chugging sound, black smoke billowed out from the chimney of the steam locomotive. However, Milo was suddenly stunned by what favonovel.com saw.
He carefully counted the carriages behind the steam locomotive.
Steven’s steam locomotive only had four, so why did favonovel.com have as many as sixteen?
