Chapter 59: Chapter 59 Underground Fuel Tank

Sylas sensed his space and realized that his space had increased in size after absorbing about twenty energy stones, but after tossing the earth ability energy stone of the mutated cat, his space started to undergo a change. He could feel the formation of a landscape inside his space, and green plants also started to grow, probably as a result of absorbing mutated plant energy stones.

His space ability seemed to undergo a change too, and he could feel his strength upgrading. His previously drained energy was also recovering.

This is unbelievable! Sylas thought, his heart pounding.

He never knew his space ability would undergo such a change. The size of his space was nearly the size of a football field.

Sylas hung his mouth open as he saw the changes in his space.

As long as I continue to absorb energy stones, I will be able to upgrade my space! Sylas was shocked and excited at the same time.

But he also knew that one energy stone was not enough to upgrade his space. He had absorbed more than twenty energy stones to be able to upgrade his space this time.

Looks like the amount of energy stones needed to upgrade the space will only continue to increase, Sylas thought.

Moreover, it would also depend on the level of the energy stone. If his space hadn’t absorbed the high-level energy stone this time, he would have needed many more low-level energy stones to upgrade his space.

Sylas quickly looked toward the place where he had planted the carrot seeds, but to his disappointment, there was no change there.

Will it take time? Sylas thought.

Withdrawing his senses from his space, Sylas quickly got back to pumping the fuel.

But when his hand accidentally touched the ground, Sylas suddenly felt a connection.

Surprised, he immediately withdrew his hand.

What the hell was that? Sylas thought.

Sylas paused for a few seconds, then slowly extended his hand and placed it on the ground.

This time, he could feel it clearly.

“Earth ability!” Sylas uttered in surprise.

What’s going on? Sylas was utterly shocked.

Did I awaken a second ability?

But how is that possible?

No, wait, is it because my space absorbed an earth ability energy stone?

But this is my second time absorbing an earth ability energy stone. The first time, I didn’t awaken the ability, so why this time?

Sylas then remembered how he could feel the trembling of the earth just like Shaun. He thought he was sensitive to earth because he had absorbed an earth ability energy stone, but he never thought that he would also awaken an earth ability after absorbing the earth energy stone.

“How on earth is this possible?” Sylas uttered in shock as a barrage of thoughts ran through his mind.

Sylas quickly calmed himself down. Then another thought emerged. If he could awaken a second ability, would others awaken dual abilities too? Not only two, but three, four, and so on? If they could absorb another ability energy stone, would they awaken that ability too? But as far as Sylas knew, ability users didn’t seem to be able to absorb another ability energy stone.

If others couldn’t and only he could, then what would that make him? Sylas thought. He frowned and quickly collected his thoughts. He realized that his ability seemed to be different from others. He also knew that the tree that sticks out gets cut down. He could not let others know about his ability.

“If I could absorb different ability energy stones and awaken all of them, wouldn’t that make me overpowered?” Sylas thought.

But Sylas knew that his ability could not be all-powerful without drawbacks. There must be something he had yet to figure out.

He was getting more and more curious about his space ability. He knew that everything came with a price, and his ability, though it seemed powerful and superior to other abilities he knew so far, might be both good and bad for him. He would have to slowly figure everything out with time.

Sylas took a deep breath and finally looked at his hand. Now that he had awakened an earth ability, it was a good thing for him right now. He placed his hand on the ground and felt the earth around the underground fuel tank. The underground fuel tank was a massive steel cylinder buried several meters beneath layers of soil and concrete.

Earth ability spread out from his hand, and the earth around the underground fuel tank started to shake.

Yes, Sylas was planning to store the whole underground fuel tank directly into his space. He could not store embedded objects in his space, so he wanted to use his newly awakened earth ability to try taking out the underground fuel tank.

The earth started to tremble, and the soil slowly began to loosen around it. Sylas’s energy was draining quickly. If it had been before upgrading his strength, he would not have been able to do it.

Sylas manipulated the earth, and the earth from below slowly started to lift the loosened underground fuel tank toward the surface.

Drops of sweat fell from Sylas’s temples as he gritted his teeth and pushed the underground fuel tank out.

When the underground fuel tank emerged onto the ground, Sylas finally heaved a sigh of relief and immediately stored it inside his space.

Sylas sensed it and realized that the underground fuel tank held about twenty thousand liters of gasoline. He didn’t need to worry about gasoline constantly on the way to the capital.

Sylas stood up and immediately decided to leave now that his main objective had been achieved.

He did a quick scan of his surroundings using his senses. His senses had also undergone a change after leveling up his strength. His senses could now reach much farther than before.

Sensing no zombies or other creatures in the surroundings, Sylas relaxed a bit and quickly left the gas station. He stayed on constant alert as he left the town and entered the forest again.
