Chapter 114."Maverick!" the individual coming out from the portal said with a deep, heavy voice that almost sounded coarse, immediately he came out of the portal and heard someone call out to him.Then there was no mistaking it for Maverick now, it was the voice of Jiren. He could recognise if anywhere, anytime, regardless of how deep it has gotten.When the individual fully emerged from the portal now, the portal closed and then everyone was now able to clearly see him and it was truly Jiren. He had grown and had buffed up, looking slightly different than before but he was still the same person.Jiren looked at Maverick with deep cold eyes and Maverick looked at him as well with more of surprise than anything else. Jiren smiled slightly as he continued to look at Maverick ,and then he took one step forward without saying a word. The step he took caused a sensation to travel across the ground and the entire place and the new world. It wasn't one that was visibly and physically recog
Chapter 115. The leader of the masked men was now buried in the ground, due to the impact caused by Jiren's punch. He brought himself out of the ground and gritted in anger. He discarded his broken mask, his face was bleeding because the pieces of the broken mask had buried themselves in his flesh.He looked around the battlefield to see what was happening next but the next thing he was was Maverick blasting towards him almost like a rocket. When Maverick got close to the leader, he smashed his feet against his face with an even greater force than the punch Jiren had given him.The kick pushed the leader of the masked ones deeper in the ground. And the moment he was punched into the ground, Maverick inhaled deeply causing his chest to expand as he accumulated as much energy and power in his fists and then began punching the spot where the man was buried. Each punch to the ground caused the ground to quake like it was struck by lightning.The ground bursted open forming a giant fist
Chapter 116.Maverick fell to his knees as he breathed heavily. He was only able to rest as he is at the moment because he knew the leader of the masked ones was dead, how? Because he was no longer able to sense him. The only person who could sense at the moment was Jiren and then he came to another realisation. 'Where is Rector?'The smoke was yet to clear from the explosion, smoke ,ice, crystal, water and steam were dropping from the skies like rain droplets because the explosion consisted mostly of the ice and crystal snake construct Jiren had made. Some seconds later he was on his feet again, knowing that the battle was not yet over. He may have dealt with the threat of the masked ones, but there's also the threat of the cursed one, Jiren.He looked around and then waited for everything to clear and then he saw Jiren also standing some distance away from him probably thinking the same thing as well.Jiren was equally breathing heavily, but more calmly compared to Jiren. The wou
Chapter 117.Maverick cocked his fist and began walking towards Jiren. Jiren smiled and did the same, he moved towards him. Their walk slowly turned into a slow sprint and from a sprint it turned into both of them running at each other.Their fight began with Maverick jumping towards Jiren and throwing a punch to his face. Jiren blocked the punch with his left hand and threw a punch of his own, with his right hand. Maverick held the punch and then channelled his energy to his hands and then from his hands, he blasted out a stream of fire with so much heat that it would be enough to melt through steel.Jiren realised this the moment it began, channelled his own energy as well and then utilised his talents. He released an entire stream of ice from his hands to counter the fire. So as Jiren and Maverick were colliding, Ice and fire were colliding as well.When the collision of ice and fire reached its climax, the collision exploded outwardly into pressurised water and steam that pushed
Chapter 118.Jiren's fist collided with Maverick's face and the collision was like an explosion that sent shockwaves around the vicinity. The impact blasted Maverick away like a cannon and he collided into the earth, digging through to form a hole until he lost momentum.Maverick didn't move for about a second due to the concussion he had received from the impact and after a second he regained himself and started breathing again. His heart was thumping heavily, and every part of his body hurt. He could feel that he had broken a few of his ribs and fractured some of his bones. He was bleeding in multiple places and some parts of his body were bruised and swollen."Ughh, I can't see properly anymore." he said as he managed to open his eyes, one of his eyes was already swollen. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw two centipede monsters towering above him and ready to descend on him.'shit, I have to move. Move move.!'He mentally beckoned to his physically weak and exhausted body until
Chapter 119. -IN THE BUREAU-After the director's speech, everyone began salvaging what they could from the destroyed bureau and others did what they could do to assist in the recovery of the wounded and taking care of them.Natasha at this point was holed up in one corner with the director, chief director and as well as other essential staff that were needed. they had made a temporary centre with everything they could salvage from the collapsed bureau so that they could get the work going. At the moment, Natasha was communicating with other countries and inquiring from them how things were progressing at their end, and also taking a report of everything that had happened so far in the war. The masked ones were mostly winning in many of the other countries but according to the reports she got, after it was assumed that the leader was dead, they became disorganised and lost the fight and war from that point. Natasha understood what had happened because everyone knew that the leader
Chapter 120.Maverick got dressed and finally managed himself outside. When he got outside, he realized he really was in a hospital or what looked like a run down hospital. There were a lot of wounded people trooping in and there were less bedspace to accommodate the wounded. Just like there was limited bedspace, there was also insufficient medical personnels to attended to the wounded. 'What could be happening that everyone is getting wounded on such a large scale?' he asked himself, but didn't voice out his thoughts. He did have his suspicions though, probably because of whatever it was that Jiren may have done and the merge coming closer and closer. He saw Natasha and he hurried after her limping a foot. She went upstairs and he followed her. When they arrived upstairs, Maverick was surprised to discover the upstairs, which was the top floor of the building they were in was now the new bureau head quarters. It had an open office setting, no doors and the officers were demarcate
Chapter 121-BACK TO THE PRESENT-Maverick was still on the roof of the new bureau. He opened his eyes and realised that he just remembered what happened several months back when he was still in the old world.'The voices of the light. So I really did meet them back then?' he thought and he felt a little relieved since he now knew that he didn't exactly waste all his time in the old world without learning anything significant.Then he became focused at the moment on something he just remembered. He sat up as he began repeating it and trying to understand what it meant. "They said that, as the blessed one is possibly not yet born since they can not find him yet, but when he is and ready he should connect with the light." saying what the voices of the light had told him when he had met them.But remembering it only hurtled him into further confusion and questions."Just how can someone who hasn't been born a year ago be born now and immediately be the blessed one? and when will such a
