Chapter 64 More powers
<span ss="s-0">I looked at the unimpressive man who was pacing back and forth through the one-way ss and couldn’t help butsmile.<span ss="s-1">What are the chances that one of the hundred picked the teleporter bundle, stole a bunch of stuff then gotcaught?<span ss="s-2">How could you ever catch ateleporter?<span ss="s-3">You have sex with him, get him drunk, and turn him in for the reward on hishead.
<span ss="s-4">The man was one of the only criminals w<span ss="s-4">ho looked scared from the position he wasin.<span ss="s-5">No, he looked petrified, people can’t stay that scared for that long, eventually, they’ll get used to itina day or two.<span ss="s-6">His room was right next to the prison''s cafeteria.<span ss="s-7">I’d like to guess that people from the cafeteria were constantly harassing him but that would only be a guess of why he was so scared.
<span ss="s-8">My question was answered when I entered the room.<span ss="s-9">“Y-you! Please don’t chop my dick off, I only stole money!” I couldn’t help but burst outughing.<span ss="s-10">Somehow the story of what I did to the mind controller was already spreading but I think they got the wrong meaning from it.<span ss="s-11">“I cut off his dick because he went after my women.<span ss="s-12">I’m only here to steal your powers.”
<span ss="s-13">He cried andined and tried to wiggle free until warned him if he kept it up he’ll get simr treatment to the other 100 member we put in there.<span ss="s-14">After getting the teleport power from him something seemed off… I asked.

<span ss="s-17">“Why did you pick the teleportation power and upgrade it with touch teleportation when you could have gotten the bundle?<span ss="s-18">I know the bundle had the ability to teleport other willing people and items from a distance plus the extra dimensional dwelling power.”
<span ss="s-19">He looked at me with the most confused expression before saying.<span ss="s-20">“There were bundles?” I blinked a few times before I threw my hands up.<span ss="s-21">This motherfucker just cost me a better teleport power and alternate dimension mansion because he picked his damn power without checking for anything better.
<span ss="s-22">I give him the go-ahead to be moved to a safer prison.<span ss="s-23">His power was the only reason he was being held in that special cell with a power dampener around his neck.<span ss="s-24">Being moved to a prison for normal people will at least give him a chance to live a somewhat normal life.<span ss="s-25">So, why was I excited for teleportation when I could already teleport?<span ss="s-26">Several reasons.
<span ss="s-27">The first was for redundancy''s sake.<span ss="s-28">If I entered an area where magic wasn’t allowed (like a trap to a different dimension with no magic) then I could always teleport out with my power over the magic.<span ss="s-29">The second reason is it would save me mana for more powerful spells.<span ss="s-30">Gaining the flight and teleport powers meant I could still do those things but have the mana for other spells.<span ss="s-31">The final reason is I could give the power away to one of my girlfriends who couldn’t learn magic in the future.
<span ss="s-32">After trying to steal powers from metas and mutants I figured something out.<span ss="s-33">Anyone who had gained mutant powers could no longer learn magic or chi.<span ss="s-34">Most of the powers in the universe were tied around those three power systems.<span ss="s-35">This was just spection at this point but I believed a race that didn’t know how to use magic or chi would eventually lose their ability to and evolve to only gain random mutations.
<span ss="s-36">Thanos, one of the most powerful of his race, was most likely a one-in-a-billion mutation.<span ss="s-37">The mutations seemed weaker on average but had a higher ceiling for giving power to individuals.<span ss="s-38">That would make Asgardians chi-based possibly?<span ss="s-39">Maybe chi-based with magical powers given through divinity?<span ss="s-40">I thought about it a little more.
<span ss="s-41">Martians, Skrulls, and Chitauri are all obvious magic races.<span ss="s-42">Kree, Parademons, Thanagarians, and Kronans were chi-based.<span ss="s-43">That left some races out of that power structure like Kryptonians, Tamaraneans, and Asgardians.<span ss="s-44">The three outliers seemed to be either mana or chi but somehow strengthened themselves with an outside source.<span ss="s-45">Perhaps ess to a force? Not speed force or strength force but some type of smaller force like sr force for Kryptonians.
<span ss="s-46">That would leave Tamaraneans with lunar force and Asgardians were still hard to pin down.<span ss="s-47">Maybe they gained power through fighting?<span ss="s-48">I needed to touch one and look at their power source to know for sure.<span ss="s-49">Even then I still might not understand it.<span ss="s-50">I still thought it was belief-based, the more well-known and possibly even worshiped an Asgardian was the stronger they’d be.<span ss="s-51">Kind of like the belief system with Orks in Warhammer.<span ss="s-52">Painted red wagons go faster even if it doesn’t make sense.
<span ss="s-53">The main question after that was why I cared.<span ss="s-54">I didn''t, it was just something that started to stick out to me more after I thought about it.<span ss="s-55">That’s why I didn’t get the Skrull shapeshifting powers when I killed fake Nick Fury.<span ss="s-56">The vast majority of races were so technologically advanced that their source of power didn’t reallye into y on global scales, only small conflicts.<span ss="s-57">It doesn’t matter if you’re one of the strongest races if the you’re living on gets blown up.
<span ss="s-58">I let them know I was done and headed out via teleportation before heading to bed.<span ss="s-59">I spent the next few weeks just leading the magic department and mansion shopping before I found one on the outskirts of New York that I liked.<span ss="s-60">It was ufortably close to the X-mansion but at this point, I was too strong and well-known to think of Charles and all of the X-men as a threat.
<span ss="s-61">I was mainly focused on getting my powers up to the second rank.<span ss="s-62">I had been secretly practicing my nt control and finally reached rank two with it.<span ss="s-63">Training power storage was much harder but I could tell I was close, I just needed another push or a few more weeks and it would reach there.
<span ss="s-64">I spent a good chunk of my downtime getting my girls more powerful too.<span ss="s-65">Steph had the chi in her system to hit rank three but it almost went bad because I waited too long to finish her circle and core.<span ss="s-66">Sometimes you just forget and the person you’re supposed to be helping doesn’t say anything because they thought you knew and something tragic almost happens.<span ss="s-67">I finished up Julia’s as well and she decided to sign on as Batman''s permanent leader of his house guards.
<span ss="s-68">It was just as I was finishing my fourth circle when another message I had been waiting for finally came through.
