Hand Of God

Chapter 31 How Could It Be?!

"Alright, let's not be so serious. Let's look at the others; someone else has found their target."

"But this Adam, he seems to have bad luck, hasn't found a target yet. His strategy also seems to be problematic, right?"

Another judge changed the subject, lightening the mood.

In the Realm, team members had begun to find their targets one after another and started to think of ways to besiege them.

But Adam, at this moment, had not made any gains, speeding across the boundless desert with the dark red sky growing increasingly gloomy, possibly turning black at any moment.

He had been speeding in one direction, occasionally changing course, as if heading towards a target.

But this was of no benefit for searching the Realm; the correct approach should be to mark a large area and then circle within it, exploring in units of areas.

This strategy was more efficient for luck-based searching.

The world within the Realm was not a constant continent; it was like quicksand, constantly flowing everywhere, with the entire world in the Realm in motion.

Like a rag being constantly wrung out, the entire terrain, everything on the terrain, was constantly changing.

This was also a method to increase the difficulty and uncertainty of the trial, and apart from the absolute position of the entrance remaining unchanged, no one could fully understand the entire terrain within thirty-six hours.

Adam, at present, seemed to have some purpose, charging in one direction and making two sudden turns.

Norman and the others watching Adam's trajectory were also a bit confused, not knowing what he was doing.

"Is he training his running speed?" Due to a bet, Clark had been observing Adam.

"That's such a waste of time, running for a while and then suddenly changing direction?"

"No!" Norman's eyes were also fixed on Adam, watching his route.

"His situation seems like he has a specific destination!"

"And each of his turns could very well be when the world map in the Realm changes!"

After saying this, he quickly shouted to one of the bald men maintaining the existence of the Realm, "Richard! How often does the Realm randomly adjust its orientation, and how long until the next one?"

The bald man named Richard didn't turn his head, replying after hearing the voice: "It changes every twenty minutes, and there are five minutes until the next one."

"Help me bring up the macro image of the entire map!"

"That really drains my mental energy."

"I'll give you three medium Energy Cores after the trial ends!"

"Deal."

After saying this, Richard made a gesture in the air, and a huge tactical screen-like object was placed in front of everyone.

It was something like a satellite map, with terrain area markers, the only difference being that there were many red or blue dots on it.

The blue dots represented students, and the red ones were the targets they were to hunt in the Realm.

At this moment, on the map, some blue dots coincided with the red dots, indicating that the students were fighting with the virtual Deities in the Realm.

Then, Norman slowly zoomed in on a blue dot, which represented Adam's trajectory.

The other judges also understood Norman's idea, and Clark, not quite believing, said:

"You're saying he's heading straight for a target? Are you kidding? Do you think he has some kind of divine vision?"

"Not to mention him, can you do it? Only a superhuman specializing in mental power, how broad a mental perception would be needed to have a chance."

Norman didn't speak but pointed at the image on the map.

At this time, the slow-moving blue dot was heading towards a red dot that was glowing.

Clark frowned, still stubbornly saying, "This might be luck, right? Does an ice-attributed superpower also help with mental perception? How come I didn't know?"

He also cast a puzzled look at Diana, but received no response.

Norman replied, "Whether it's luck or not, we'll know in a few minutes. If you want to bet on this, I'm game."

Clark didn't take the bait, just quietly watching the red dot on the map, and casually drew two circles, marking Adam and the red dot in front of him.

Under the expectant gaze of dozens of eyes, five minutes passed quickly.

Suddenly, the world turned upside down, the terrain on the entire map was crumpled and reorganized, and the positions of all blue and red dots were completely shuffled.

But magically, the students in the Realm didn't feel anything; only the judges knew of the changes in the Realm.

On the screen, the blue dot representing Adam stopped instantly after the map was shuffled, pausing for two seconds before suddenly turning and moving in another direction!

And that direction was the red dot that had been marked as a target before!

"Damn it!" Clark slammed his fists on the table and stood up abruptly. "How could it be?!"

Clark, as the Vice President of Dimotelin University, completely disregarded his image and blurted out a curse, standing up in disbelief.

"Is this s**t really happening? How the hell is this done? Even the mentally-gifted superhumans from previous generations couldn't achieve this without training, right?"

"Hey! Norman! Can you track at this level?"

Norman, though optimistic about Adam, was also very surprised to see Adam actually pull it off. Sitting there and seeing Clark direct the conversation towards himself, he did not respond directly but said:

"This isn't my forte; my superpower is mainly physical, while mental stuff is Richard's specialty."

"Don't try to divert the topic. That young man isn't a mental type either; he's ice-affiliated! No, wait, his superpower is Energy Chain!"

Then, Clark turned to Diana with an agitated expression and asked:

"Is his superpower really Energy Chain? Seriously, does your ice-affiliated superpower enhance mental strength?"

Diana looked at Clark's astonishment, already delighted inside.

Finally, someone believed it, and these people were finally witnessing Adam's powerful potential!

From now on, there should be no more heat using Adam's E-class superpower rating as a talking point.

"No, it has nothing to do with the ice affiliation," Diana said, suppressing her relief and happiness, and shook her head.

"However, I know why he can do such a thing."

"What? What's the reason?" Clark asked in surprise.

"Because a while ago, about three days ago, Adam told me that his superpower had developed a new variant."

"This time, he evolved a perceptive superpower, which is said to be able to easily analyze and gather information from the surrounding environment, and even to some extent, a prophetic superpower."

Diana's calm voice finished, and not only Clark but also the other judges were unsettled.

"Another variant of his superpower? Can this superpower keep adding variants?"

"Is his superpower a collection folder? Does Energy Chain have such a bizarre potential?"

"Unheard of, I've seen many talents, and there are those with exceptionally good gifts, but one so 'strange' as him, he's the first!"

But even if everyone doesn't believe it, the results on the map can't lie; that blue light dot is firmly moving towards the red dot at a rapid pace!

Thomas then turned his head and asked Diana, "That incident a few days ago, he did it through this method, right?"

Seeing Diana nod, Thomas turned around, and his gaze towards Adam became even more interested.

"What incident? And also, Thomas, have you checked this kid's background and experience?" Clark asked.

"I'll tell you that incident after the trial is over. As for him, his identity should be fine."

After getting Thomas's assurance, Clark nodded solemnly, seemingly making some decision, and suddenly slapped the table hard, exclaiming loudly:

"We, Dimotelin University, want this student! He can name his terms!"

"What?!" This caused a stir among the judges, who didn't expect that the trial had barely started for an hour, and Clark was already actively trying to recruit Adam.
