Chương 20: “Angel” Helen Cho

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Boom! Boom! Boom! In the same rugged, forested mountain area as before, golden beams of light were continually shooting out, shattering rock after rock. Rosh stood 200 meters away, repeatedly extending his fingers to fire photon bullets. The long row of stone targets was reduced to rubble in just a few minutes.

"Very good!" Rosh stopped and nodded in satisfaction. He had been training here for half a month. During this time, neither Deadpool nor Helen had introduced any new clients to him. Naturally, customers had yet to come in looking to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on what seemed like dubious items. Rosh's new sales target had stalled at the sale of two Devil Fruits, which left him feeling somewhat frustrated. However, on reflection, it made sense.

Devil Fruits had a high purchase threshold and were not easy to sell. He decided to take it as it comes. After all, his current strength was sufficient for self-protection in this world. He had seen significant improvements, especially with the four hours of training he dedicated daily. Now, Rosh's accuracy was exceptional. He could hit the bullseye of every stone target, with only minor deviations that were hardly noticeable. This was just in terms of accuracy.

Rosh didn't need to "aim" like a sniper in actual combat. He could continuously fire photon bullets like a machine gun or a submachine gun! Rosh's strength was already quite formidable in terms of combat power alone. At least in this current timeline.

"Next, let's try my 'Photon Staff'!" Taking a deep breath, Rosh extended his right hand and began to channel his ability, gathering photons from within him. After about fifteen seconds, a golden, glowing staff appeared in his hand. The staff was about thirty centimeters long and five centimeters thick, looking somewhat rough compared to Kizaru's "Yata no Kagami" sword. But Rosh was still thrilled. He remembered how he couldn't even shape a simple cylinder the first time he tried.

Now, he had made tremendous progress. Whoosh! This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report. He swung the photon staff with force at a large stone in front of him. Crack! Amidst the flying debris, a deep dent appeared on the stone. The photon staff was essentially an energy weapon, causing both physical and photon energy damage to objects. The effect was impressive.

"Finally… let's try 'Photon Warp'!" Rosh focused, activating his ability. His entire body transformed into a shimmering golden photon, essentially becoming a person made of light. Then, this "light person" shot forward as a beam of light. Whoosh! The golden flash struck halfway up the mountain, creating a large crater and sending rocks flying.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Covered in dirt, Rosh clambered out of the debris, dusting himself off with a look of disarray.

"Indeed, this is a high-difficulty maneuver." Rosh sighed. When he became light, he had no weight and could move through the air easily. However, controlling direction was incredibly difficult, especially with the speed of light. He had practiced this maneuver many times over the past few days but hadn't managed to warp to the desired location even once. Nevertheless, Rosh was very satisfied with his progress. The abilities he had now were already quite impressive.

"It's about time to head back!" Rosh dusted himself off and started his way down the mountain. ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ Elsewhere. Helen Cho's Research Center. Clap, clap, clap! Thunderous applause filled the room as everyone gathered around, clapping sincerely. They looked at Dr. Helen Cho, standing in the center of the crowd, dressed in a white lab coat with a delicate and beautiful face. Their expressions were a mix of disbelief, astonishment, and fervor, as if they were witnessing an angel descending from heaven.

Just moments ago, Helen Cho had performed a miracle in front of everyone by curing a patient who was paralyzed from the waist down. Such miracles had occurred numerous times over the past half-months. But they still managed to shock and awe people each time because it was truly incredible.

"It's a miracle! I can't believe it—this is a miracle!"

"My son can really stand up again!"

"Dr. Cho, I don't know how to thank you enough!" A couple in their fifties, tears of gratitude streaming down their faces, were gripping Helen Cho's hands, almost ready to kneel. A young man in his late twenties, standing next to them, was stunned, feeling his paralyzed lower body, which he hadn't felt for years, and doubting whether he was dreaming. Paralysis… can actually be cured? With a thud, the young man knelt down before Helen Cho.

"There's no need for such gestures."

"Please, stand up, sir." Helen did her best to calm the overly emotional family and personally escorted them out with courtesy. Standing by the blinds, watching the family joyfully embrace each other below, Helen felt that everything she did was meaningful. She was saving lives. She was giving hope!

"Doctor, if I weren't your assistant and hadn't witnessed all this myself, I'd think it was all nonsense."

"You're creating miracles!" Her assistant said earnestly.

"No, it's not me creating miracles, but Shopkeeper Rosh," Helen sighed deeply. The Heal-Heal Fruit was incredibly miraculous, far surpassing her Rebirth Cradle by miles. Especially after recently treating several patients, she felt her once-proud Rebirth Cradle wasn't so appealing anymore.

"After half a month of practice, I've fully mastered my abilities and can now cure very complex diseases."

"I just wonder if I can help my old friend." Helen pondered momentarily and then took out her phone, dialing a contact saved as "Bruce Banner." ⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘ Next Chapter: Bruce Banner's Hope Next Next Chapter: What a Strange Method Next Next Next Chapter: It's Actually Because of a Devil Fruit
