Getting A System In A Modern World - Chapter 198

Chapter 198: Genesis Void: Matter Manipulation
Silas had planned to go back to the cabin house and rest for the night but the excitement he felt from raising the rank of his superpower was stronger than his desire for rest.

Excitedly, he got down from the rock he was sitting on and started walking to the beach.

“Time to see what I can do with the rank up of my superpower. Maybe it will be the same as before or it might be different. Who knows? I can only checkbto find out.”

When he got to the beach, he took his time to admire the ocean that reflected the starry night sky and he enjoyed the strong, cool ocean breeze that continuously kept hitting.

“Ahhh… Feels good. When everyone moves to Venezuela,I will definitely bring them to the island to spend some time.” Silas smiled.

He had the urge to rush into the waters but he held himself back and he came for something important.

He walked closer to the ocean and stretched out his hand. He extended his perception into the waters and almost immediately, he felt like he had grown another hand. It was more like sixth sense but calling it a third hand was the best way to describe it.

With a smile plastered on his face, he controlled his ‘third hand’ and slowly, he felt it move and he also noticed small but clear distinct movements on the surface of the ocean.

The smile on his face widened when he noticed this. Slowly, he felt a part of the water slowly separating from the larger portion of the ocean and floated into the air.

“Nice,” Silas said in satisfaction and approval when he saw a ball of water of very substantial size floating in the air in front of him.

The volume of water he made to float in front of him wasn’t huge but it wasn’t small either. To quantify it, the volume of the ball of water floating in front of him would be around 10 liters or more.

This wasn’t much but it’s enough to fill a small bucket and maybe even a medium sized one.

Silas continued to control the ball of water, not allowing it to splash back into the ocean. He already made a decision that he was going to test the limits of his superpower tonight and that’s what he intends to do.

The expression on his face turned slightly serious as he looked at the ball of water in front of him and with a thought, he started manipulating the shape of the water.

From a ball of water, it started stretching out and few moments later, a long whip made of water was floating in front of him.

He continued to be creative with his control over the shape of floating water as he shaped into it anything he could think of. He turned it into a miniature car made of water, into a drum and a stick…. He shaped into anything he could think of.

He experienced no problem whatsoever with his control over the liquid state of matter, with the only issue being that he can’t control more the amount of water floating in front of him. But that wasn’t exactly a problem, it’s only a limitations caused by the current rank of his superpower.

Silas decided to check the next state of matter: solid. He relinquished his control over the multiple balls of water floating in front of him and it splashed back into the ocean.

He looked around the beach and he saw a small piece of rock lying gently on the wet sand of the beach, at a small distance from where he stood.

He was about to walk towards the rock and pick it up but he stopped when he thought of something else.

He stretched out his hand towards the small piece of rock and extend his control towards it. Just as it did with the liquid state of matter, within a few seconds of extending his perception towards the rock, he felt like he has suddenly grown a third hand.

He could feel like he was touching something solid even though his hands are empty. He controlled the rock to float up from the ground and he saw it shake slightly before floating into the air. Few seconds later, the small piece of rock was now floating in the air, at a small distance from Silas.

“I tried to control it from a distance, I didn’t really know it would work.” Silas said in surprise when he saw the rock floating in the air.

What he intended to do was to check the distance limitations for his superpower rank and this is the result he achieved.

Telepathically, he controlled the small piece of rock to fly towards him and in a flash, the rock closed the distance and was in Silas’ hand.

Silas looked at the rock in his hand and he thought of something. He used his hand to get a feel of how heavy the rock was.

“Probably roughly around 20-25kg.” He said as he made a rough estimation of the rock size.

He decided to do the same thing he did with the water as he manipulated the shape of the rock and as expected, the small piece of rock reacted to the stimuli he provided, breaking into even smaller pieces.

Silas continued to manipulate the shape of the rock as he shaped the smaller pieces of rocks into balls, pins and small knives made of rock.

“It’s almost the same thing as when it was at E rank. Nice.” Silas nodded in approval.

“Let me see how I can push it before I lose control over it.” He controlled the rock to slowly fly away from him and used the Gear to measure the distance that the rock has flown.

He was still able to control the rock even after it had flown over 5 meters away from him. His control over it was still strong even after 8 meters but as the distance increased, he started to feel like he was losing his control over the rock.

After the rock has flown 10 meters away from him, he lost complete control over it and it fell to the wet, white beach sand.

“So, ten meters is the maximum distance. That should also be the limit for my range of perception. Not bad, I suppose,” Silas nodded in satisfaction.

“Now, it’s time to check the last state of matter.” Silas said as he closed his eyes, trying to feel the air around him.

He stretched out his hands and tried to control the air around him. Slowly, he felt that he was part of the air current around him. No, the best way to say it is that he felt that he could now control the air around him.

He made a gesture with his hands and he felt a small shift in the air current. He controlled the air current to rush towards him and a small gust of air rushed at his body.

Silas smiled in satisfaction when he saw this. He was happy with progress made.

“Not bad at all. Not bad at all.”
