Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

Meanwhile, on another battlefield, Shinichi Kudo had a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth, his clothes were torn, there was a bloody scratch on his right arm, and there were dark circles under his eyes. He looked quite disheveled.

In contrast, Gin on the other side didn't even have his clothes torn, and he maintained his steady pace, making the difference in their abilities immediately apparent.

Even though they are both LV4, there is a difference in strength. Gin's superpower belongs to the "Fighting" type LV4. Although Shinichi Kudo's overall strength has also reached the "Fighting" type LV4, it is only a matter of time before he is defeated by Gin.

"Hmph, it's about time to end this."

Gin snorted inwardly. Although he had fought against Shinichi Kudo before, he didn't take him seriously. Over the years in the organization, Gin had fought against various regional superpower agencies. In his opinion, the only ones who could stand up to him were the "Silver Bullet" team in New York and the "Zero" team in Tokyo.

In that instant, Hikaru Hoshino kicked the vodka away and turned to rush towards Shinichi Kudo and Gin. Shinichi Kudo and Hikaru Hoshino met eyes, and in that instant, without saying a word, they both understood each other's meaning.

The next moment, Shinichi Kudo unleashed the last of his strength, and four super-powered soccer balls rapidly condensed from his feet, kicking them one after another towards Gin.

Three of them came from three directions toward Gin, blocking his retreat. The last one flew in an arc and landed behind Hoshino Hikaru. With two whooshing sounds, the two super bullets that Korn and Chianti fired at Hoshino Hikaru were blocked by the fourth super soccer ball.

"Huh? Vodka, that piece of trash! And Cohen and Chianti too!"

Gin immediately sensed the sound of something cutting through the air behind him, and couldn't help but frown. His whole body exuded a terrifying killing intent, and the Beretta pistol in his hand began to spin rapidly.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A large number of super-powered bullets scattered and collided with the three super-powered soccer balls, momentarily slowing down Gin's movements.

"Now!"

Hoshino Hikaru locked his eyes on Gin, and a golden light flashed across his left hand. Then, three light bullets, like shooting stars, condensed and flew towards Gin.

"Exchange Skill: Light Bullet"

"Light Energy-50"

Total light energy: 50

[Skill: Light Bullet]

[Releases three fist-sized long-range energy beams from the fingertips; cooldown: 1 hour]

Three light bullets hurtled towards him. Gin frowned, pondered for a moment, and made a decisive decision. He charged straight toward Shinichi Kudo and Hikaru Hoshino, ready to take the hits with his body.

"The reaction was quick, but too late!"

Hoshino Hikaru stopped looking at Gin and instead raised the "Sword of Light" in her right hand, slashing it fiercely at the "weak point in space" in her line of sight.

"Hiss~~"

In an instant, the dark space seemed to be disrupted, and a grayish-white light formed a gap large enough for one person to pass through. The surrounding darkness began to engulf the gap as if it were flowing water, and it looked like it would disappear in a few seconds.

"Walk!"

Hikaru Hoshino called out to Shinichi Kudo and stepped through the gate first, with Shinichi Kudo following closely behind.

"Hmph! Don't even think about running away!"

A red and white capsule had appeared on Gin's right index finger and thumb at some unknown time. As Gin slapped his right hand on the pistol, the capsule transformed into a stream of light and merged into the Beretta pistol.

"Hmm? What's that?"

Hoshino Hikaru glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but widen his pupils in shock. Under the gaze of the "Eye of Light," he could clearly see a line of words on the capsule in Gin's hand.

【APTX-4869】

The next moment, a beam of red and white light shot out, so fast that Hoshino Hikaru and Kudo Shinichi couldn't react at all. Before Kudo Shinichi could completely leave the dark space, it entered his body.

"Tch~~"

As Shinichi Kudo and Hikaru Hoshino disappeared, the dark space returned to silence, and Gin stood there without making any further moves.

"Big...Big brother?"

Vodka cautiously approached Gin, his tone tinged with wariness.

Gin glanced coldly at Vodka, suppressing his urge to shoot the useless underling. After all, Vodka had followed him for many years and was extremely loyal. Although he was a bit lacking in ability, finding a suitable replacement would not be easy.

Moreover, it's not shameful that Vodka was defeated by that mysterious light-powered user, after all, he also felt some pressure when he fought him.

Gin felt a slight pain in his abdomen, narrowed his eyes, and instead of using his superpowered attack to defend himself, he used the "Man in Black" defense to withstand the three light bullets released by the mysterious light ability user in order to catch up quickly. The attack power of the light bullets was somewhat beyond his expectations.

"Gin, those two guys got away? How are we going to explain this to our superiors?"

A sudden, irritable female voice, Chianti's somewhat frantic tone, interrupted Gin's thoughts.

"It's alright. I injected Shinichi Kudo with poison, APTX-4869, the organization's latest research, specifically designed for espers. Shinichi Kudo is doomed. As for that mysterious light-elemental user, we'll kill him next time we encounter him!"

Gin slowly put away his Beretta pistol and spoke in a cold tone.

……

Meanwhile, in a small alley in Beika Town, a golden portal appeared, and Hoshino Hikaru and Kudo Shinichi walked out one after the other.

"Kudo, what's wrong?"

Leaving the dark space, Hoshino Hikaru didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief before quickly turning around and asking.

At this moment, Shinichi Kudo was pale, sweating profusely, and felt a burning sensation in his heart.

"Just now, I was hit by Gin. I saw that he seemed to have added a red and white capsule to the attack that shot me. This capsule probably contained a poison that is effective against superpowered people."

Shinichi Kudo gritted his teeth and spoke through gritted teeth, his hands instinctively covering his heart.

"Using bullets to launch poison targeting superpowered individuals?"

Hikaru Hoshino helped Shinichi Kudo up, his brow furrowing as he fell into deep thought.

"I... I'm afraid I won't make it. This poison... cough cough cough... Hoshino-kun, I'm sorry. After I die, please tell my parents to stay calm and not lose their minds because of my death. Tell them I'm sorry... cough cough. Also, tell my childhood friend Ran that I love her more than anyone else in the world... no, cough cough... since I'm going to die, don't tell her. Let her forget me. Please!!!"

Shinichi Kudo knelt on the ground, his right hand tightly clutching his heart, feeling his body melting away. He spoke haltingly to Hikaru Hoshino, giving her his last instructions, and finally gripped her shoulder tightly.

"Kudo, you... I understand, I'll deliver it for you."

Hoshino Hikaru opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he could only agree to Kudo Shinichi's request. After all, so many things had changed in the world, and Hoshino Hikaru couldn't guarantee that Kudo Shinichi would survive.

Although it seems as if the will of the world has forced Shinichi Kudo to take APTX-4869, in the original story, 99% of those who take this drug die. The fact that Conan, Ai, and Mary survived is nothing short of a miracle. In this special world, even Hikaru Hoshino isn't certain that Conan will be born.

"Thank you……"

Shinichi Kudo seemed to have used up his last bit of strength. After telling Yusaku Kudo, Yukiko Kudo, and Ran Mouri what to give them, he collapsed to the ground.

Hikaru Hoshino silently crouched down and laid Shinichi Kudo flat. Then, he fixed his gaze on Shinichi Kudo and waited quietly for the outcome.

"Hiss!"

Soon, milky white heat began to appear on Shinichi Kudo's body, as if his muscles and bones were evaporating, and his whole body shrank little by little.

"It seems Shinichi Kudo is destined to become Conan after all. But this is truly unbelievable!"

Hoshino Hikaru breathed a slight sigh of relief, then watched the entire process with her "Eye of Light".

After an unknown amount of time, Shinichi Kudo disappeared, and the person lying on the ground was replaced by a boy named Conan Edogawa.
