ALL NOVEL Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Free Fall at 10,000 Meters! Go Take a Sauna in the Sun!
Invincible? Hard to say.
But Lance felt unstoppable.
He smirked, holding a metal cube in his hand. "I can literally make explosions now," he said to himself. "Just let someone try to hit me with a bomb—I'll send it right back."
Not long ago, Lance thought his Vibranium battle suit was the pinnacle of protection. Now? It felt redundant.
"That suit was great, but it actually gets in the way of absorbing energy now."
He considered scrapping it entirely, but changed his mind.
"Maybe I'll make a new suit instead," Lance muttered, turning the cube in his hand. It was the heaviest of the metals he had taken from the Inhumans' stash—stronger than steel but lacking the unique properties of Vibranium or Uru.
Its one advantage? A melting point over 500,000 degrees Celsius.
"But how the hell do I melt this?" Lance glanced out the window, his gaze shifting to the dark sky.
The sun.
He grinned.
"Time to test the limits of Energy Absorption."
Above the Clouds – 20,000 Meters Altitude
Lance stood in thin, cold air, his feet on an invisible platform created by his teleportation ability.
Clad in only thin clothing and a mask to block satellites, he spread his arms wide, taking in the freezing winds.
Yet, he felt nothing.
The energy from the frigid air was absorbed instantly, leaving him unaffected.
Without hesitation, he took a step forward—
And dropped.
19,000 meters!
18,000 meters!
17,000 meters!
The ground raced toward him as his body plummeted, but Lance remained calm.
He didn't even slow down.
Six minutes later—
BOOM!
A massive impact rocked the earth as Lance crashed into a forest, sending dirt and debris flying. Trees toppled, and animals fled in terror.
In the middle of a smoking crater, Lance stood up, completely unharmed.
His clothes, now in tatters, reformed instantly thanks to his cross-dressing ability.
He dusted off his hands and leaped out of the pit with ease.
"Skydiving without a parachute—pretty fun," he said, grinning.
The rush of free-falling without restraint was addictive, but he forced himself to focus.
He had bigger plans.
Africa – Broad Daylight
The sun blazed overhead as Lance arrived in a vast, sunlit savannah.
Unlike America, which was still blanketed in night, it was broad daylight here.
Teleporting halfway across the planet in an instant had drained him slightly, but the endless sunlight flooding his body quickly recharged him.
"Let's go even further."
His eyes locked onto the sun.
The next moment—
BOOM!
Lance disappeared.
Space – 50 Million Kilometers Away
Lance appeared in the black void of space, facing the sun's glowing surface.
The distance between Earth and the sun was roughly 150 million kilometers.
Lance had just traveled a third of that in one jump.
500 times the speed of light.
Three jumps. One second.
Now, he hovered above the sun's surface.
The temperature here reached 5,500 degrees Celsius—hot enough to incinerate most metals, let alone human flesh.
But Lance didn't feel a thing.
The heat, radiation, and electromagnetic forces bombarding his body were absorbed immediately, fueling his power instead of harming him.
His clothes disintegrated almost instantly, but he didn't care.
There was no one here to see.
"So this is the sun," Lance said, staring into the blinding light.
It wasn't a ball of fire like most people imagined.
Instead, it was a sea of plasma, rippling with violent electromagnetic storms.
The radiation should have fried him a hundred times over.
Instead, it felt… warm.
Comfortable, even.
"Not bad," he said, flexing his fingers as the absorbed energy surged through him.
He could feel the raw power coursing through his veins.
"This place… might be the best sauna ever."
The thought made him laugh.
Testing His Limits
Hovering above the sun, Lance decided to push himself further.
He extended his hands, absorbing even more energy directly from the star.
His body hummed with power, like a living reactor.
The vibrations in his cells intensified as he channeled the energy inward, storing it like a battery.
Then—
He released it.
A pulse of energy exploded outward, parting the plasma waves around him and creating a shockwave that rippled across the sun's surface.
Lance grinned.
"So this is what it feels like to be unstoppable."
He could absorb, store, and release energy at will.
Kinetic energy. Heat energy. Radiation.
It didn't matter what form it took—he could take it all.
And now?
He could even feed directly from a star.
Back on Earth
Moments later, Lance reappeared in the forest where he had first landed.
The animals were still recovering from his earlier impact, but Lance paid them no mind.
He was busy examining the metal cube in his hands.
The surface glowed faintly, softened by the heat he had absorbed from the sun.
It wasn't molten yet, but it was close.
"Looks like I can melt this stuff after all."
Lance's grin widened.
With his Energy Absorption ability and teleportation, there was no limit to what he could achieve.
And this metal?
It would make the perfect material for his next suit.
