Fantasy Game: Infinite City

In the shuttle, Gloria, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, was chatting with Han Zu in the driver's seat, waiting for the shuttle's scanning equipment to conduct a second scan of the mountain below. Although the coordinates had been determined, the area near the coordinates was very large. Whether there was anything underneath or not, it could not be just a point, so it would take some time to completely scan the area with a radius of thirty meters with the coordinates as the center.

Gloria was very curious about the power she had just obtained, and at the same time she was very excited. She rolled up her sleeves and kept summoning flames on her arms, changing their positions. However, although there was no problem using it, Gloria was not very good at how to control the flames finely, and she needed someone to teach her how to do it.

"When you were climbing the mountain, how did you use the power of the flame as a reverse thruster? I can't seem to do it. Is it because I'm not strong enough?"

"Give me your hand."

Han Zu stared at the panel on the shuttle and stretched out his hand to Gloria without looking back. When he held Gloria's arm, Gloria felt a force of the same origin, but more powerful and precise, penetrating her body.

"Your body is still adapting to this power. If you go to a place outside and light your whole body on fire, it should greatly speed up the adaptation process."

"Set myself on fire? How? At the moment, I seem to be able to... only generate flames on the surface of my skin. I can't do it as easily as you can."

Han Zu glanced at the display panel on the shuttle. The scanning program on it had entered a stable stage and he no longer needed to keep an eye on it.

"Come on, I'll teach you how to use it."

"Do you need me to take off all my clothes? After all, the flames will burn them."

"Oh, yes, I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me."

The two took off all their clothes and threw them on the seats. Then they left the shuttle and came to a small open space some distance away from the shuttle. Gloria stared at Han Zu's figure in a daze, unconsciously revealing a perverted smile, but Han Zu was not abnormal. He was teaching Gloria how to guide the power of fire normally.

"Flame... Look here."

"Oh, sorry."

"The power of fire will not cause any damage to your body now. Maybe if it was a long time ago when I evolved your body, the fire would still cause great harm to you, but it is not necessary now."

"That is to say, before you... um... evolved to the current level, the flames would still cause damage to you, right?"

"Well, I was in trouble at the time, so I had no choice but to completely ignite my body. However, I discovered at the time that the fire would only destroy my flesh and blood, and could not damage my bones. That is beside the point. I don't have such concerns now. Let's get back to the topic."

Han Zu told Gloria that if they were classified by species, currently, within the known range, Gloria and Han Zu belonged to a separate species. Since they were originally humans (Gloria doubted Han Zu's statement that he was originally a human), they still retained the appearance and body shape of humans.

Unlike humans, every cell in their body is composed of exactly the same parts, at least now. When Han Zu first spontaneously combusted, only bones were left because only a part of the body that had completed evolution at that time was the first to form bones, or at least something similar. But now, because of evolution, all body parts have almost the same strength, so thanks to this, Gloria, who was manually "evolved" by Han Zu now, should be able to use the power of fire directly without worrying about self-damage.

"Then I am quite lucky."

"There is no difference between the different parts of our body, so since you can light a fire on your skin, you can do the same inside your body. Now, focus your attention and direct the power into your body. Take your time, don't rush."

According to Han Zu, Gloria tried to guide the new power in her body, but the originally calm power became extremely violent after Gloria began to guide it. Gloria could not control this power at all, so of course.

"boom!"

There was a small implosion in Gloria's body, and the thrust generated blew Gloria away. However, Han Zu seemed to have anticipated that this situation was likely to occur, so he had already made preparations. He reached out and grabbed Gloria who was flying, and pulled her down from mid-air.

"Uh... it doesn't seem to work. Is my method wrong?"

"The method is correct, but you're a little impatient. Let me think about it... Oops... Got it. Let's do this first. You light the fire at any place."

"Is the palm okay?"

"Whatever. Anywhere is fine."

"Hoo-boom."

Following Han Zu's instructions, Gloria generated a jet of dark flame in her palm.

"Now, imagine this flame as liquid, and the skin on your palm as gravel. Then control the flame to slowly penetrate the gravel, but not through the back of your hand. Let it penetrate from the surface of the skin into your flesh. Take your time, don't rush. Don't be afraid if you fail, try a few more times."

“Swish…Bang!”

“Sizzle..Bang!”

Gloria tried several times according to Han Zu's instructions, but every time she was about to succeed, she would be attracted by Han Zu's figure standing next to her, so she never succeeded.

"Stand behind me first. I can't concentrate when I see you."

"..Okay."

Han Zu stood behind Gloria. No temptation was visible to her. Gloria was finally able to concentrate completely this time. When the flames began to enter her body from the surface of her body, there were no mistakes. Gloria succeeded perfectly this time.

"I think I succeeded? I felt my entire palm burning inside, but... this feeling is very... how should I put it, novel?"

"Indeed, but this is just the beginning, let's continue."

"Okay, what do I do next?"

"Now, control the flames burning within your palms, and let them flow through your entire body like flowing liquid. At the same time, let them awaken, or ignite, and ignite all the places where these flames reach."

It has to be said that Gloria's talent in using this power is second only to Han Zu. On her first attempt, Gloria successfully met Han Zu's requirements. After the first ball of flame circulated throughout her body, it also ignited her entire body. Now Gloria is like a torch in a human shape, burning fiercely inside.

"This feels so...so..."

"Don't be distracted, just continue."

"it is good."

"Now, instead of letting the fire in your body burn through your skin, or penetrate your skin, you should start to think that the fire is your true self. Now, let the blazing fire in your body begin to merge with every part of your body, until your body has no resistance and becomes part of the fire."

Following Han Zu's instructions, Gloria held her breath, put aside all distractions, and focused her attention on one point, the blazing flame. She began to imagine in her mind that the flame gradually devoured everything and began to spread from the inside of her body to the outside. As Gloria thought about it, the flame burning in her body also slowly began to spread from the inside to the outside.

Han Zu noticed that glow began to appear on Gloria's muscle lines. This was a sign of success. Gloria was indeed talented.

Soon, flames burst out from the inside and covered Gloria's entire body. Now she became a walking fireman.

"Very good, you are halfway there. Now let's do a more difficult test. I will place my fingers randomly on your body. Wherever I touch, you must retract the flame into your body, but the flames in other places must also remain burning. The flames must not go out during the process."

"it is good."

Han Zu tapped Gloria's back with his finger. The flames disappeared at the point where Gloria was tapped, revealing her skin. Han Zu could sense that the flames under her skin were still burning, and the flames in other places were not extinguished. Gloria was very smart and understood it immediately. But for some reason, the flames in other places suddenly became larger for a moment.

After trying a few more times, Gloria successfully completed Han Zu's request.

"now what?"

"Almost done. Now there is one last step. Change the positions of the flames to the order I told you. First, the skin."

"Hoo-boom."

"in vivo."

"Tsk~~"

"..."

After repeating it several times, Gloria met the requirements perfectly and finally reached the last step of teaching.

"Now, while your body is completely burning, release your maximum strength first. Then when I say stop, you must retract the flame immediately. No part of your body can be burning. Do you understand?"

"I'm ready, come on!"

"Maximum firepower!"

“Hoo-boom!!!”

Following Han Zu's orders, Gloria exerted her full strength. In an instant, Gloria turned into a huge black fireball, evaporating the snow within a radius of ten meters, revealing the rocks below. The scorching heat was gradually melting the rocks below, and magma had already begun to appear in some places.

"stop!"

"laugh!"

"when!"

"I am!"

"boom!"

When he put away his power, although the first step was successful, Gloria was very nervous and did not control the energy well, so an implosion occurred. However, just before Gloria was about to blow a huge deep pit in this place, Han Zu rushed up in one step, hugged Gloria, and then suddenly jumped into the sky. The explosion occurred in the sky, but apart from a loud bang, it did not cause any impact. According to the previous investigation, Han Zu had confirmed that there were no other people near the mountains, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.

"Den!"

It fell heavily back to the ground, and the shock wave generated blew the magma that Gloria had just created, which had not yet completely cooled, away from the ground and fell down the mountain. The shock wave also triggered a small-scale avalanche, which happened to cover the snow that had been melted by Gloria.

"Phew! Luckily I reacted quickly. Let's try again and control the last bit of energy this time."

"Um.."

Gloria's skin seemed to turn a little red, but Han Zu thought it might be the effect of the energy implosion.

But many images that are not suitable for children flashed through Gloria's mind.

"Oi! What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, it's okay, let's do it again. I'm ready."

"Okay, come on, maximum firepower!"

"Boom!"

"stop!"

"Tsk~!"

"Well, it worked. Now, you should be able to use the power of fire perfectly."

However, although Gloria succeeded, just when she wanted to celebrate, she suddenly felt dizzy and fell down.

"Oh, I forgot about that."
