Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

"Aww!"

The "Roller Coaster Mechanical Dragon" opened its mouth and let out a roar that sounded like a demon. Then, dark red light began to emerge and protect its purple body.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The super-powered bullet struck the mechanical dragon's body, but only left shallow marks, having little effect.

"This is the materialized manifestation of the Abyss's alien energy. As expected of the Detective Conan world with its superpowers."

Hoshino Hikaru took a deep breath, quickly checked his available skills, and then slowly retreated behind the police, looking at the berserk "Roller Coaster Mechanical Dragon".

According to the curriculum at Teitan Superpower High School, after the case is solved, the process of absorbing negative energy from the Abyss Energy is interrupted, and it will materialize and merge with surrounding objects to become a special avatar monster that requires superpowered individuals or special forces from the Bureau of Superpowers to deal with.

"What's going on? Does LV2 Abyssal Energy have this kind of defensive capability?"

Seeing that the attack had left no damage, Inspector Megure frowned, somewhat surprised, before looking at Takagi in front of the computer.

"Inspector, the level of the abnormal energy has suddenly increased, suspected to be due to external energy injection. The current level is LV3, and it's still rising!"

Takagi frantically typed on the keyboard, speaking in a somewhat anxious tone.

"What did you say? The energy level has increased? LV3, could it be the work of some criminal organization secretly researching the Abyss?"

Inspector Megure's expression instantly turned grim, and he quickly scanned his surroundings.

Generally speaking, 99% of the energy in cases involving abyssal anomalies is LV1 or LV2. LV3 cases are relatively rare globally. Once LV3 energy materializes, the damage it causes is enormous. They arrive quickly, and the firepower they bring is very difficult to deal with.

The abyssal monster before him was still increasing in energy, which made Inspector Megure feel a sense of vigilance. This might be related to certain organizations in the world today.

Since the Abyss appeared, there have been voices among humans embracing and studying it. Now, a group of criminal organizations that like to study and utilize the Abyss has emerged, and today's scene makes Inspector Megure worry.

"A level 3 Abyssal energy avatar? That might be difficult to deal with?"

Upon hearing Inspector Megure's words, Hikaru Hoshino was slightly surprised. He then quickly glanced at his skill list and swiftly activated "Eye of Light".

【Skill Name: Eye of Light】

[When using it, you can notice all the details in your field of vision and see the information panel of the person being observed. It can be used for a long time, but it will cause eye strain. It is not recommended to keep it on for 24 hours, otherwise your eyes will suffer severe pain.]

The next moment, a golden light appeared in Hoshino Hikaru's pupils, and then everything around him became extremely clear. Even a flying insect hundreds of meters away could be clearly perceived by Hoshino Hikaru.

At the same time, in Hoshino Hikaru's line of sight, an information panel appeared above the "Roller Coaster Mechanical Dragon".

【Name: Roller Coaster Mechanical Dragon】

[Level: LV3]

【Characteristics: High defense, enveloped in a layer of special energy; weak point is the core inside the head; the solution is to concentrate and continuously attack this one point to break its defense】

"This looks like things are going to get a bit tricky."

Hoshino Hikaru pondered for a moment, then frowned.

Generally speaking, an alien energy avatar of the same level is stronger than a superhuman. To eliminate a LV3 Abyss alien energy avatar, even a regular LV3 superhuman, even a combat-type superhuman, would have a hard time. Either a stronger LV4 combat superhuman would be deployed, or the Superpower Bureau would need sufficient manpower to cover the area with superpowered weapons.

Currently, the only Level 4 present, Shinichi Kudo, has the superpower of "detective," not a combat-type superpower, and Inspector Megure's firepower is not enough.

"Inspector, that guy is about to pounce. Support forces are needed in ten minutes."

Takagi spoke anxiously. Today, their strongest fighter, Officer Sato, was not present. As a clerk, he was not very strong in combat. Inspector Megure was injured and could not act casually. Relying solely on the super-powered pistol would probably not be enough.

"Inspector, let me handle this."

Shinichi Kudo spoke calmly, then stepped forward, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Wait, Brother Kudo, you..."

"Believe me, Inspector, I'm not an impulsive person. I've done rigorous logical calculations."

Shinichi Kudo turned his head, smiling as he interrupted Inspector Megure. His tone was confident, which unconsciously infected Inspector Megure.

"Is he confident?"

Hoshino Hikaru was somewhat surprised and turned his gaze to Kudo Shinichi, a row of information instantly appearing on his screen.

Name: Shinichi Kudo

[Abilities: LV4 Detective (Special Function Type), LV3 Soccer Player (Combat Type)]

[Detective: Observational superpower, able to accurately observe all information around them, integrate and deduce in their mind, form conclusions, and quickly learn various kinds of knowledge]

[Soccer Player: Combat-type superpower, able to create super energy circuits in the legs, condense energy into a super-powered soccer ball, and kick it out as a ranged attack.]

【Characteristics: Possesses excellent observation, learning, and reasoning abilities. Can fight using the strength of its legs, employing super-powered soccer as a ranged attacking method. It can also use its observation skills to adjust the soccer ball's trajectory, enhancing its attack power.】

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, a seven-colored light flashed across Shinichi Kudo's right leg, slowly gathering and taking shape, transforming into a seven-colored super-energy soccer ball.

"Take this!"

Shinichi Kudo stared intently at the roaring "Roller Coaster Mechanical Dragon," then seized the opportunity and swung his right leg, sending the colorful soccer ball flying in a unique arc.

"Bang!"

The colorful soccer ball, imbued with terrifying impact, slammed into the head of the "Roller Coaster Mechanical Dragon." A faint ripple appeared on the mechanical dragon's head, and the soccer ball was thrown into the sky by the recoil.

"As expected, the attack power is still insufficient."

Inspector Megure sighed inwardly, raised his right hand to grip the hat he had worn for many years, and prepared to use his superpowers despite the risk of his old injury flaring up.

However, the next moment, an arm patted his shoulder, and a calm voice rang out.

"Don't worry, Inspector, we've already won."

Hikaru Hoshino stopped Inspector Megure and spoke in a softer tone.

"Um?"

Inspector Megure looked at Hikaru Hoshino with some surprise, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Hoshino Hikaru didn't answer, but just stared at the seven-colored soccer ball. Trajectories of movement appeared in the void. Sure enough, the next moment, the super soccer ball returned in an arc that violated the laws of physics and hit the mechanical head head hard again in the same spot.

Immediately, the football seemed to come alive, rising into the air, falling, and repeatedly striking the mechanical dragon's head. Finally, with a cracking sound, the mechanical dragon's defense was broken, and the football pierced directly through its head.

"Hiss~~"

The "Roller Coaster Mechanical Dragon" paused, then a dark energy rose up and slowly dissipated like smoke, and the roller coaster transformed back into a real train.

"A detective's greatest strengths lie not only in reasoning ability, but also in keen observation and physical prowess—these are fundamental to detective work. Therefore, by combining a 'detective's' observational skills with 'soccer,' one can pinpoint the shooting angle, transforming the trajectory of the ball into a Möbius strip, creating a continuous, cyclical attack."

Shinichi Kudo wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around, and revealed a sunny smile.

"I see. So, the superpowers of 'detective' and 'soccer' can be combined like this. The fusion of observation skills and movement patterns... Kudo-kun, your overall combat ability should be comparable to a Level 4 combat-type esper."

Officer Takagi rapidly typed on the keyboard, and lines of peculiar data appeared on the screen, eventually transforming into a look of sudden realization and admiration on his face.

"They really did it, but is it scientifically sound to combine 'detective' and 'soccer'—using observation skills to alter the trajectory of a super-powered soccer ball and construct a Möbius strip? Or is this the power of science fiction in this world?"

Hoshino Hikaru was thinking with mixed feelings, but she didn't show it on the surface. Instead, she looked at the newly appeared panel.

"Light Energy +50"

Total light energy: 150

A special golden magnetic field energy, in an unobservable state, slowly merged into Hoshino Hikaru's body the instant the mechanical dragon fell. A notification of increased light energy appeared instantly, and no one except Hoshino Hikaru witnessed this scene.

"There is more light energy. This is because it has absorbed energy from the abyss. Does this mean that I can obtain light energy from the abyss after solving the abyss case?"

Hoshino Hikaru was somewhat surprised. He glanced at the 1000 light energy required to level up, as well as the 50, 100, and other light energy requirements for the skills that could be exchanged in the shop, and narrowed his eyes as he fell into deep thought.
