Chapter 293: New Upgrades
After the explosion, the entire sea became chaotic as mist and water worsened visibility.
I also realized that it wasn't a nuclear warhead they used, but judging by the impact's force, it still had the potential to cause significant damage to level a small town.
Seizing the opportunity, I returned to the shore, took the boat, and made it hover through the air while cloaked in Min Hee's invisibility.
Rei Mei on the other hand utilized her power to vibrate and generate wind, accelerating our flight. We soared directly out of there without stopping.
I might be powerful, but a bomb of that magnitude was still beyond my capabilities even if it was a small one.
They could try shooting us with multiple rockets , and that would be a threat I couldn't easily overcome .
"Are we safe now?" Rei Mei asked with an anxious tone, realizing it was her closest brush with death.
Luckily, Eun Ha's black hole ability to absorb the impact left them relatively unscathed.
I quickly looked around, making sure there was no one nearby. I lowered the boat a bit to save my mental energy.
Taking advantage of the moment, I immediately started my meditation during the free time to replenish my Mind Power, ensuring I could make the boat fly again when needed.

===========
Seeing that the new store was unlocked brought immense joy; I was confident the skills available there would be overpowered. The skill combinations and mission board had also seen improvements.
But what intrigued me even more were the Key features. I wasn't sure it was related to that door, but the astronomical amount needed to unlock it caught my attention—10,000 skill points.
To accumulate that many skill points, I'd have to massacre almost 5,000 people. The system was not joking around.
I summoned the "Skill Store" first, realizing the key feature was currently unattainable, so I tucked it away in the back of my mind.
My focus shifted to the skill store since it was more promising and could be of immediate help.

*****
The skill requirements were off the charts, but I anticipated as much considering how the system adjusts to my earning .
Among all the skills, three stood out for me – "Computer Mind","Quantum Magnetic", and "Mirage"
Power Sharing was good but it was too expensive for now .
The idea of having a mental computer intrigued me with its potential benefits.
Perhaps I could develop mental programs or set up commands to enhance the efficiency of using my skills.
The potential was almost limitless .
On the other hand, "Quantum Magnetic" caught my attention because tripling my telekinesis strength could practically turn my thoughts into a force capable of a lot of destruction.
Aegis was effective, but it needed to be big to inflict real damage, and it risked revealing my location .
"Quantum Magnetic," on the other hand, allowed me to manipulate everything with my telekinesis alone, offering a more discreet and powerful approach.
Mirage seemed like a perfect solution for dealing with other Gifteds who had immunity to my powers.
While Dream Manipulation was powerful, it struggled against those with strong willpower. With Mirage, I could effortlessly create illusions on the fly, offering a more versatile approach.
I bought Computer Mind first and leveled it it up at 100.
As I shut my eyes, I sensed another part of my brain developing on my head. It felt like a biological CPU with an integrated GPU.
The sensation was strange, but I adapted to it seamlessly.
Unfortunately, the experiment would have to wait as I had more issue to fixed.
On the horizon, I spotted another ship drawing nearer. It appeared that we were being tracked via satellite.
"Eun Ha , you have a way to protect this boat?" I asked.
"Of course ," she replied with a smug look.
"Protect everyone . I'll go after that ship directly," I responded. It seemed like the best option.
Destroying the enemy mode of transport was important for our escape, and I already had a plan to deal with the satellite.
Boooom !
Explosion echoed as the ship started using it's canon to attack us
After witnessing this, Eun Ha tapped into her power, creating a black hole to absorb the impending attack.
"Good Job" I patted her head before turning invisible.
