Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 21: Awakening

Sozin thought about informing Mark of the improvements that he would be able to make to his system soon, but he decided against it. There's no need for Sozin to tell him because Sozin was sure Mark will find out more about the system as time goes on. Sozin gave Mark all his blessings, so Mark would grow at an insane rate compared to other Superhumans. It was a gamble for Sozin since Sozin was not going to have any champions anymore if Mark was killed, but Sozin was sure that Mark would not die that easily. If Mark didn't die in the four years that he didn't have his system, then he would definitely be much harder to kill now that he had the system!

"Well, I have to leave now. You can do whatever you want with the system since it is now yours, but just keep in mind that I can no longer bail you out like I did last time with the Armageddon class. This time, you really will be on your own and you will die if you try to get into a fight that you are not ready for. But seriously, try not to die on me. You're my only champion and the other gods will definitely laugh at me if you die. I'll be seeing you later then, Mark Vanitas. I hope you entertain me for many, many centuries."

Once he said this, Sozin slowly began to vanish into thin air until he disappeared from Mark's sight!

Woosh!!

Mark suddenly felt his body fall from the sky and he shouted in anger at Sozin as he saw the ground getting closer! What the fuck was Sozin thinking!? Didn't Sozin say that Mark wouldn't survive a fall like this!? Mark was going to kick that bastard when next he saw him!

"Fuck you, Sozin!!"

Sozin's laughter filled the area once more and before Mark could go splat on the ground, his body vanished!

....

[The Calamity class has buried GHOST under a building and there doesn't seem to be any movement from GHOST at all. I-I think that the superhuman GHOST might have... perished under the force of the Calamity class's attacks!]

The mood all over the city was somber and depressing as they all heard what the newscaster said! They couldn't believe that GHOST was dead! There have been many cases where superhumans died against Anima, but this was the first time that they would be seeing it happening live in front of them, and it was gruesome! They were all realizing that even though these superhumans had all this power, they could still be killed if they took on a monster that was far stronger than them!

Pat was watching the scene on his large television, and he was biting his fingernails desperately as he waited to see what would happen! Pat had been screaming for Mark through the comms for more than thirty seconds, and Pat didn't get any response at all from him! That could either mean that Mark somehow lost the earpiece when he was being beaten by the calamity class monster, or Mark was incapable of answering because he was passed out or dead!

Pat was someone who always faced reality head-on! He knew that there was almost no chance that Mark could defeat a monster like that with his current ability! Mark would usually struggle against Disaster Class Anima, so this monster would be too much for him to handle! But even someone as realistic as Pat had a small part of himself that was wishing that Mark would make it! Mark couldn't just die like that! Not after everything that he has already been through! It wasn't possible!

"Come on, Mark. Are you really going to go out like this? It's too pathetic for someone like you!"

In the underground bunker in Nature Academy, there was nothing but silence among all the students as they all heard what the newscaster said! The students who were fans of GHOST were the most depressed out of all of them, but the one person who refused to be depressed was Francis. Francis grit his teeth and glared at the screen with intense resolve.

"He is not dead! Shut your stupid mouth right now cause you don't know what you're talking about! There is no way that GHOST would die against something like that!"

One of Francis' friends who was sitting beside him tried to make Francis calm down. They all saw what happened on the screen! There was no way that GHOST could survive something like that! The monster was too strong!

"Get the fuck off me! I said he is not dead! GHOST is stronger than anyone in the world! He wouldn't die just because someone dropped a building on him!"

Francis was impossible to reason with, and everyone decided that they would just leave him alone to calm down because he was glaring at everyone who tried to tell him that GHOST was dead! If they kept trying to talk to him, then they knew he might end up hitting them if he got too angry!

Outside the bunker, Arit was still running through the hallways and shouting out for Mark as she searched through all the classes and offices where Mark could have been. She first checked their own class to see if he was there, but there was no one in the class, so she was sure that Mark must've left to go and hide somewhere else! Arit was not going to leave Mark all alone out here because she knew that he would never leave her if she was the one out here alone!

Boom!

Arit stopped running as she felt a heavy tremor shake the foundation of the school, and she had to hide close to a window to prevent any falling debris from hitting her! Once she was sure that the tremor had passed, she got back up and started to run towards the next office!

Doon! Doon! Dooon!

Once Arit got to the main staff office, she felt three more massive quakes that shook the entire hallway, and Arit ducked under a table and looked out the window at the side in shock as she wondered what the hell was going on out there!

[What the hell is this!? There is something shaking the entire area! I've never felt anything like this before, but I think... I think it's coming from under the building! I think it is coming from GHOST!!]

There was a television in the staff room, and Arit poked her head out and watched as a reporter started to scream loudly about the tremors that were shaking the city! Arit didn't know what happened earlier, but she could remember that GHOST was the vigilante superhuman that was always helping out in the city! Was he the one causing all the tremors?

...

Back with the fight happening in the middle of the city, the Calamity class monster that threw the building on Mark slammed its feet into the building as it felt the massive tremors that were shaking everything! Did this foolish human think he could win by making the earth shake? There was nothing that would stop them from taking him away with them! They needed him to make their queen awaken, and they would surely get what they wanted!
