Chapter 11 - [11] Ultimate move

The three [Gifts] Zen kept for himself were: 

- [Excel: Increases the speed of projectiles and magic by creating an electromagnetic field around them.] [Increases the potency of lightning attack by 30%] [low-intermidiate] [Static]

- [Abnormal resistance: protects the wielder from low rank mind manipulation spells and debuffs.] 

- [Sharp gaze: Able to notice minor details which are normally not visible to naked eyes.] 

From the 12 [Gifts] - Keilene had received five of them, making her formidable even in the circles of newbie novice heroes. They were namely: 

- [Shadow assault], [sharp mind], [weakness locater], [danger instinct] and [tough physique]. 

Zen gave the last gift to help her withstand the modification of her [Gift]. Most of the gifts given to her were support type, sensing high potential in her - Zen wanted her to survive. 

Walking towards the deeper parts of the red-light district - Zen wondered what his first fight with a djinn would be like. 

'No novice ranked hero can defeat me now. Against an intermediate hero - I can only think of running, but it wouldn't be long before I catch up to them.' 

Having not taken a look at his status in a long time, Zen decided to check it. He had noticed his stats to have gone up when he increased his template by 2% before. 

'A lot of my time would be saved if upgrading my template would increase my stats to a satisfying degree.'

The new [Overclock] gift promoted his perception's growth, just like [Spearlike bones]'s effect on his bone's toughness.

'It will take a while to gather a satisfactory amount of origin points....It would increase a lot if I can just join the Chameleon troupe. Their quest should arrive soon.' 

The street was dead silent, with not even a shadow of a living person. Zen had his subordinates wreck destruction from every side - it let many small flies escape. 

If it weren't for the hero association behind his tail, Zen Shigaraki might have considered conquering this red-light district as a base. 

Arriving before the main building of the ruler of the district - Zen paused slowly. The mask hides his sadistic smile. 

With [Overclock] activated as a passive gift, Zen Shigaraki was able to find out the existence of people hiding around the area. 

'An ambush? For them to have not run away after more than half of their district was destroyed...' 

The people hiding in ambush didn't waste time once Zen stopped - all of them quickly surrounded him and paused - when dozens of magical spells flew towards Zen instantly. 

Bang! 

A huge amount of dust rose in the middle of their attack. 

However, before even the dust cloud settled down - a weak sound of electricity buzzing entered their ears. 

"What...?" 

[Black lightning - full power]! 

Black lightning spread from the centre of the explosion, enveloping everyone near the area instantly. 

"Ahh!" 

An instantaneous defeat of everyone touched by the lightning happened. Their bodies suffer from different degrees of burns, many dying in seconds. 

Walking out of the dust, Zen gently dusted off the debris from his suit. The light of [Forcefield] slowly dulled around him, before vanishing. 

'Due to the influence of [black lightning], which allows me to generate lightning from my body - I gained resistance to it too - but the problem occurs when I use it [Kinetic booster]....' 

The amount of heat generated by the combination of these two gifts were astronomical - his weak body couldn't resist the heat. 

Staring at the magic caster far off on the rooftop - Zen didn't stop them from running away. Instead he turned towards the entrance of the main building. 

Dark energy was being released from the entrance, as if showing off the existence of the being nearing it. 

"Hmm?" Zen's activated [Forcefield] as a huge piece of wall crashed towards him. 

Easily blocking the wall, Zen could feel the enemy rushing towards him - like a wild animal in all four limbs. 

"As I thought....djinn are just mentally crippled humans. It won't be fun playing with someone like this...." Zen mused to himself already losing interest.

"You bastard! Useless! Every last one of them is useless!" 

The man jumped out of the gate and didn't stop his rush towards Zen. He possessed a huge stature and two blackish eyes with a body covered in dark mana.

Bang! Crack! 

Seeing the crack forming in the [Forcefield], Zen slowly extended his hand forward. 

"Since it's like this, just be my punching bag for testing my ultimate move." 

[Black lightning] + [Kinetic booster x2.1] + [excel]! 

And [Brawn boost 2.1] + [Ascension] + [Forcefield] to enhance his body and the [black lightning] further. They were mostly to deal with heat which would be generated as a side effect. 

A sphere of black lightning formed before Zen's palm, it crackled with apocalyptic power. He didn't hold back at all this time, unlike when he used it for the first time.

The djinn's eyes widened sensing the danger of it, but it was too late. 

Boom!

The sphere began enlarging dramatically, enveloping everything in its way. A bright light covered the whole red-light district - even reaching to the corners where Keilene killed her opponents by freezing them to death. 

It was truly an image worthy of being labelled a calamity.
