Chapter 339 - 335: Ruler Of Water
"That is true. If it is true and we broadcasted it live, our ratings would be really high. It has a lot of potential. Fine, I'll give you a chance. But if you're wrong, you'll be getting a lot of scolding when you come back," the Boss muttered as he nodded his head. Even though he agreed to listen and keep an open mind, he still left some room to scold the girl if she was wrong.
"I promise I won't disappoint you. I'm starting the transmission," the news reporter muttered as she disconnected the call.
She opened her laptop and started transferring the live footage to her boss at the head office.
As soon as the boss saw the footage, he stood up in shock. He couldn't believe it. Even though he was seeing it himself, he still couldn't believe it.
"She's telling the truth. Humans that can fly exist! Gold! We've found true gold! If we go with the narrative that these flying Humans could be responsible for the blast, we can create even more publicity and attract more attention!" he let out as a big grin appeared on his face.
"You're right! I see it! Good work, Mei. Get ready! We'll be broadcasting the footage live in 5 minutes! Make sure you get a good focus on what has been happening!" he said before he disconnected the call.

While Ryder was flying in the sky, looking down at the Thirteenth King, a camera was focusing on him. He didn't know that in a few minutes, his face was going to be on the television all across the country.
After a few seconds, he did hear the sound of the helicopter at some distance. He looked to the side and saw a news helicopter. He could also see the camera looking in his direction.
"Awesome! Only you guys were left! Can't you let me fight and die in peace? You want the whole world to see my ass get kicked, don't you?" Ryder muttered as he smiled wryly.
"Whatever! Since you're already watching, make sure you watch everything. Let the world see the true strength of Ryder Flynn!" Ryder muttered as he smiled.
He raised his hand towards the sky.
"I haven't used this power. It's going to be my first time using it. I don't like getting wet, but if it's what it takes to get a better chance at victory, then so be it!" Ryder muttered.
"Heavenly Rain! Bless me!" he shouted loudly as he used the Ruler of Water's first Active Skill.
Even though he didn't get to say these words, he still said these as it made them feel a little cool in front of the camera. He was feeling like he was a superhero, fighting against evil with the fate of the world at risk. The entire world was watching him. He wanted to experience this feeling once since he already had the opportunity now.
The skill was very simple. It caused rain in the surroundings of Ryder. Those who were inside the range of the rain had their speed decreased while Ryder had his speed increased by half.
The people that were outside the range of the rain weren't affected by this ability and its side effects.
It was already night time, but the sky was very clear. The bright moon was visible in the sky, which was providing light to the earth and increasing the visibility at night.
However, soon the clear sky was covered in a dark cloud. The bright moon became invisible. It was only within a certain range where the skill was effective, though. Outside this range, the sky was still clear. Those that are outside the range of this found this whole phenomenon to be strange.
The Dark Clouds soon started raining. Ryder's clothes were wet. He opened the buttons of his coat and took it off. He threw the coat towards the ground in a cool fashion.
He was only in a shirt and pants now.
The people from the uprising were also wet, but they didn't seem phased.
"It seems to be only raining around us. Outside this small range, there are no clouds, and there's no rain. This must be one of the strange abilities of this guy as well," The Twelfth King muttered as he looked around.
"Doesn't matter! It's a child's play. It's just rain. What does he think he can do with this? Give me pneumonia? He underestimates me too much! He's too arrogant," The Thirteenth King let out as he stared at Ryder.
"Well, he does seem to have the capital to be arrogant, though. Most of the abilities he had shown were proven to be absolutely amazing. And we can't be sure that those are his all. The boy has good skills, albeit he doesn't seem like he can tap into their true potential yet. He's too young and inexperienced," The Twelfth King replied.
"Hah, so what? He's still a kid who's wet behind his ears. He is a little too arrogant. Does he really think he's the only one who's special? He thinks I can't get to him?" The Thirteenth King said as he stepped onto the air.
"What the heck? He can fly too? Who the heck are these people?" Ryder exclaimed as she saw the Thirteenth King step into the air.
"Oh wait, he's not flying! He's walking into the air. It seems like he can create some kind of invisible surface under his feet, which he uses to walk on air. Can he freeze air, or is it something that? Whatever it is, this seems to be his power. He probably used this save ability to divert my bullets and to cut my hands and legs previously," Ryder muttered.
"You think you can get to me this easily? You can dodge the bullets? How many? Ten? Hundred? What about a thousand? Let's hear it," He let out as he grinned. He didn't need to worry about the bullets since it was a special gun he had purchased from system storage. All he had to do was maintain his distance.
With a wide grin forming on his face, he aimed his gun towards the Thirteenth King of Uprising.
"Knock Knock M******," He muttered as he started firing with both his guns while he flew back to maintain his distance from the Thirteenth King.
The bullets he fired reached near the Thirteenth King, but as soon as they were near him, they changed their trajectory and missed him, but Ryder didn't stop at just that. Ryder kept shooting.
Soon, his second gun was empty, which was a normal gun. He kept the empty gun in his Storage and continued with his Special Gun.
