The inferior "superpowered individuals" behind him all looked numb, as if they were living a life worse than death.

They already felt that half of their lives had been ruined because of that secret technique. Now, being stripped of their superpowers in public and witnessing Quan Ji grant superpowers to thousands of people, such a blow was nothing short of devastating.

They were filled with unbearable regret and were too ashamed to continue living in this world!

But... Quan Ji hesitated to make a move.

Is this torture? Making them wish they were dead?!

They were not reconciled!

Suddenly, Quan Ji gave them a very mocking look, which made them feel extremely uneasy.

"What...what do you want to do now?"

Quan Ji's beautiful eyes flashed with golden light, and she chuckled with amusement, saying, "It's nothing, it's just... I suddenly remembered that you probably don't know what the side effects of this secret technique are, right?"

"Side effects?"

They really didn't know about this, that there were side effects? Neither Quan Zhan nor Quan Yao had told them about it.

Quan Ji seemed to understand something, letting out a long "Oh," which sent chills down everyone's spine.

Quan Ji said with feigned seriousness, "How could a method of obtaining power through improper means not have side effects? Do you want to know what those side effects are?"

Quan Ji's voice was like a block of ice. Although it didn't carry much emotion, it always made people feel uneasy, as if something terrible was about to happen.

"What...is it?"

Not only the people with superpowers, but even the audience members below the stage began to get curious.

If there are side effects, then they really have only themselves to blame.

A hint of a smile appeared in Quan Ji's eyes, and a thin golden light swirled in them, making her appear distant and aloof, sacred and inviolable.

She slightly raised her hand and parted her lips: "Want to know? Then take a good look."

catalytic!

This ability is a new ability that Quan Ji awakened after entering the Great God's Envoy, and it can stimulate the hidden potential in human neurons.

Perhaps it will make me stronger, or perhaps... it will completely detonate the time bomb within my neurons.

The best example of the latter is these despicable people who become superhumans through dishonest means.

Suddenly, screams of agony erupted from their mouths.

"Aaaaaah...it hurts so much, it hurts so much!"

"Power... my power is slipping away!"

...

Almost visibly, their skin began to sag, and their joints began to decay and age.

Young bodies can turn old and frail in less than a minute.

Their hair also turned white directly, without any transition.

Everyone was stunned, watching with bated breath.

Quan Ji then offered a perfectly reasonable explanation: "The alien energy source cultivated by obtaining energy from a man's yang energy naturally needs to constantly absorb energy. However, the core of your energy source is too impure to absorb natural energy, so... your life energy becomes the best supplement."

"I've merely catalyzed this process. So... are you satisfied with the power that crooked methods have brought you?"

Quan Ji's voice was filled with indifference and disdain.

Everyone naturally understood what she meant.

At that moment, the superhumans were all terrified.

Life energy is finite; at this rate of absorption, they will soon be drained and die!

"Save us...please...save us!"

"Young Miss, you are all-powerful, you must have a way, right? You won't just watch your people die of old age like this, will you!"
