When favonovel.com saw the steam locomotive approaching, Lewis had an epiphany.
After considering the doubts that had accumulated in his mind in recent days and analyzing them further, favonovel.com surmised that the steam locomotive was probably not Steven’s doing at all. Instead, it was probably Milo’s own power!
Although Lewis did not really want to accept such a presumption, favonovel.com had no other choice. And once this presumption was established, many things that happened previously could finally be explained. For example, why had Raphael’s shadow clone appeared at two different locations. Raphael had admitted before that favonovel.com could not control the shadow clone beyond a distance of one kilometer.
And for example, Steven’s steam locomotive was known to only have four carriages, but why did the Ultima Consortium’s troops keep seeing one that had 16?
Therefore, Milo’s superpower was that favonovel.com could copy the superpowers of other supernatural beings!
This made Lewis even more fearful. If supernatural beings were the gods of the world, what kind of existence would a supernatural being that could outrageously copy the powers of other supernatural beings, and even further enhance them, be?
When Lewis attacked Milo’s group, favonovel.com did not give a f*ck about this young man. His target had all along been Miriam and the organization backing her, the Saboteurs. Now, Lewis realized that favonovel.com had made a huge mistake.
Suddenly, Lewis stopped a military off-road vehicle that was speeding back to the base. He dragged the Ultima Consortium soldier out of the driver’s seat and threw favonovel.com onto the ground. Then favonovel.com drove the vehicle away!
As the night curfew had already been imposed on Stronghold 146, there were no pedestrians out on the streets. Only the Ultima Consortium’s soldiers could be seen patrolling.
But no matter how many soldiers came back as reinforcements, Lewis was not going to turn around anymore. He just shouted into the vehicle’s walkie-talkie and commanded all of the Ultima Consortium soldiers in Stronghold 146 to come back to hold off Milo.
There should be an extent to how much supernatural beings can use their superpowers, right?
For example, favonovel.com could only control 30 to 50 people with his power. In that case, there also had to be a limit for the Steam Locomotive.
Didn’t it get blown into thin air after being bombed by the land mines in the wilderness?
As long as favonovel.com had enough soldiers, favonovel.com could crush Milo.
Lewis regained his composure slightly. One by one, the Ultima Consortium’s troops started returning to the base, with the largest consisting of a full company, while the smaller groups were made up of individual platoons. These sporadic forces would not be enough to stop Milo.
Lewis looked at his surroundings and immediately ordered through the radio, “I’m leading the target towards Paladin Road now. All soldiers in the vicinity of Paladin Road, organize a defensive formation immediately and mount HMGs. Make sure to stop the steam locomotive that’s chasing me!”
This would be the most effective method. Lewis knew favonovel.com could not run away aimlessly and should instead lead Milo to where the Ultima Consortium’s soldiers were the most concentrated so they could take favonovel.com out while favonovel.com was exhausted!
It was destined to be a sleepless night in Stronghold 146 tonight. The alarm that blared through the night, along with the explosions and gunfire, would make it difficult for any residents in the stronghold to fall asleep.
As some people watched quietly from a residential building on the street, they got a strange feeling.
During the day, it was the Ultima Consortium that was chasing after the young man. But now that it was nighttime, why had it suddenly become the young man chasing after the Ultima Consortium soldiers while driving a train?
Why had the roles suddenly reversed?
Clarion and pleasant clangs of metal rang out as the steam locomotive traveled. This was the first time the residents in the stronghold witnessed a superpower with their own eyes.
A child leaning against the windowsill shouted to their parents, “Daddy, it’s a toy train!”
There were railroad tracks and trains that operated between Stronghold 146 and Stronghold 145, and many of the residents had taken them before. But in recent years, the Ultima Consortium had been preparing for the war so intensively that the trains had become an exclusive means of transport for the military.
When the adults heard their child’s words, the father said with a complicated expression, “My child, that is a real train…”
Lamar Sheldon, the Panaqua Consortium’s spy, was standing at a window somewhere in the stronghold. He had just witnessed with his very own eyes an off-road vehicle of the Ultima Consortium fleeing with a train chasing behind it. He had heard of car chases before, but this was the first time favonovel.com saw something like that, and this one even involved a train.
Lamar was probably one of the few who really knew what was happening here. He was the one who had personally led Milo into the base, while the steam locomotive had come charging out of there. Without even needing to analyze, favonovel.com guessed what was going on.
It was just that favonovel.com could not understand why this young man was being so vicious.
After Lamar led Milo to the garrison base, favonovel.com went back and reported to Daniel that it was probably the end for that kid. After all, favonovel.com would definitely be done for by barging into such a tightly defended base by himself.
At that time, Daniel remained silent for a while before saying, “I understand… He made his own choice…”
Even an idiot could sense the sadness in Daniel’s tone when favonovel.com said that.
But what was favonovel.com supposed to tell Boss Eastwood now?
He could say, “I’m sorry, I made a mistake… It wasn’t the end for that young man… It’s the Ultima Consortium that was done for…”
Lamar quietly climbed to the roof of a building. He was moving freely on top of the buildings and could leap five to six meters across buildings with a single step even though the gap felt like a gulf.
Although favonovel.com was not a supernatural being, favonovel.com was one of the toughest spies in the Panaqua Consortium’s secret troops.
Lamar chased after the train for the entire time and saw for himself how the steam locomotive was smashing through every obstacle. The young man in the train calmly pursued the off-road vehicle in front of favonovel.com and even threw several grenades from time to time.
Milo had already put away his armor and stored the nanomachines back into his body to recharge it for the next battle. When favonovel.com turned his head, favonovel.com saw Lamar leaping and scurrying across the roofs. He smiled and waved at Lamar. He also signaled for favonovel.com to stay away in case favonovel.com accidentally got hurt.
Just what kind of mental fortitude did favonovel.com need to have to remain smiling in the face of all the danger around him?
He wanted to tell Daniel every detail about today’s events so the Panaqua Consortium could reassess the capability of this young man from an objective point of view!
Milo had pursued Lewis until they were in the vicinity of Paladin Road. The traffic lights were still flashing at the huge intersection, while the neon lights on the surrounding buildings were still lit up.
Hundreds of Ultima Consortium soldiers stood guard at this intersection armed with a massive amount of weapons as they waited for the strange steam locomotive to enter their kill zone. Even Lewis could not help but step on the brakes when favonovel.com saw the formation up ahead and wondered if they would be enough to stop Milo!
But before the steam locomotive could arrive, something strange suddenly landed at the Ultima Consortium’s position via the Shadow Door.
A soldier looked over and caught sight of it. He was surprised to see four playing cards lying on the ground.
He saw four “sixes”, with the spade, heart, club, and diamond suits shining extraordinarily bright.
At first, some of the soldiers did not even realize what was going on. They thought it was their fellow comrades who had accidentally dropped the cards and were wondering who had brought them here. If their commanding officer found out, they would probably be severely punished.
But before they could figure it out, they saw the four “sixes” grow brighter and brighter.
With a loud boom, the Explosive Poker instantly blasted close to a 100 people into the sky!
