Chapter 25: A Sudden Epiphany! Heading to the Afghan Desert!
Hmm... I do need to prepare some gifts for the meeting.
Ye Li checked some random rewards he had gotten earlier in Hell's Kitchen:
[Master Ball] [Can capture any Pokémon!]
[Lightsaber] [The Force is with you.]
[Old Wand] [Avada Kedavra!]
[Fire Kirin AK47] [Da da da da~]
[Revised Golden Light Spell] [Ordinary folk...]
[Tifa's Photo Collection] [Jerusalem, the Eternal God!]
"...."
Ye Li hesitated.
"Master Ball? What should I use it to capture... No, it won't work."
Lightsaber? What if I accidentally hold it the wrong way? Too dangerous... No, it won't work.
Old Wand? Gwen doesn't know magic... not gonna happen.
Fire Kirin... never mind.
The revised Golden Light Spell is not bad. Gwen's Chinese is good, she can learn it, I'll consider it.
Tifa's Photo Collection, ah... never mind, that doesn't count.
After thinking for a while, only the [Revised Golden Light Spell] seems suitable.
However, for this [Revised Golden Light Spell], Ye Li plans to teach it to Jessica and the others, and maybe add something else.
Perhaps he could help her improve the web-shooter.
Ye Li has the relevant scientific knowledge to develop the web-shooter, but he lacks a proper development lab.
Oh right...
Wasn't Stark kidnapped in Afghanistan and hasn't returned yet?
Maybe I can rescue him, and not only get the web shooters but maybe I can also get Gwen and the others two sets of high-tech suits.
Hmm... and maybe I can use Stark Industries stocks to make some money, perfect!
And Tony, though Ye Li is not close to him, they have some acquaintanceship, so saving him is no big deal.
Ye Li felling a sudden epiphany, took Sky's notebook, and searched through the military's database.
Sure enough, Rhodes was already searching for his good buddy, and some of the terrorist strongholds in the area had already been eliminated.
He just needs to search the remaining areas, and he can rescue Stark.
And so.
In the next two days,
In the desert areas of the Middle East, reports of terrorist strongholds being struck by divine punishment frequently emerged.
It wasn't a sandstorm, but rather thunder on a dry day.
It made the terrorists panic, and their organization was on the brink of collapse.
Originally, Ye Li couldn't be bothered with these terrorists, but whenever he went in to look for someone, he was always greeted by bullets and cannons.
He was helpless and could only fulfill their wishes, sending them to meet their god.
At this moment.
Ye Li, flying in the air, saw a gathering place appear in the distance on the desert.
It didn't look like a terrorist stronghold, but rather a normal civilian village.
He had only one area left to search, so he decided to land and ask around.
No——!
A boy, digging around for water, suddenly saw a figure completely clad in black land not far from him.
He screamed in fear and asked Ye Li, "... Are you a god?"
Ye Li also noticed the ragged boy, seeing him digging in the sand. He activated his battle suit's automatic translation function and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I..."
The boy looked at the dry sand in his hands, then suddenly kneeled before Ye Li, making an unfamiliar gesture with his hands and pleading, "Great God, our town hasn't had rain in a long time, the water in the oasis has dried up. Please bring the rain!"
Wow, he's treating me like the Dragon King.
But it's really a good match.
Ye Li felt the air, and indeed, the humidity was extremely low, or rather, there was practically no humidity.
The disparity in the world is truly remarkable; Gwen and the others are happily studying at Central City High, while the people here can't even find a drop of water.
"Look up at the sky."
"What?"
The boy stared blankly at the sky.
Then, a drop of rain fell on his face...
"It's raining! God!!"
...
Spreading a wave of feudal superstition, Ye Li also learned more about the situation in the area.
Hearing about an organization called the Ten Rings, so he flew straight to their gathering place.
Upon his arrival, he saw someone shooting from a cave, and members of the Ten Rings were about to rush in.
"What a coincidence."
"The one in the cave must be Yinsen, buying time for Stark?"
The next moment, Ye Li instantly landed on the ground.
A shockwave of energy spread outward from him.
The ground shook continuously, and everyone around lost their balance and fell to the ground, those closest were directly swept away!
A sand dune near there gathering place was even affected, collapsing and sinking, forming a small patch of quicksand like terrain.
If Ye Li used his full strength, he could make this whole area sink into the desert's depths.
The terrorists and Ethan in the cave were all stunned. What is this strange thing?
