Chapter 34 FIVE MONTHS LATER. Maverick and his team just came out of a portal after successfully claiming it. The moment they did, everyone around started clapping and cheering them up for the successful completion of the mission that otherwise seemed so difficult.Maverick smiled as he scratched the back of his head not really wanting the cheers, but it really felt good. Reminded him of how popular he was in his last life.Maverick remembered just how popular he had been in his past life and it made him nostalgic. The alpha team had become one of the most popular A class teams around because of their success rates when it comes to completing missions, but it still couldn't be compared to his previous life. It was so because the specialised team do not really get much credit for the missions they get, they are mostly the kind of people that operate behind the scenes, so the public do not really know so much of their exploits to even consider them to be people worth knowing. This po
Chapter 35 Maverick tried to sleep but he couldn't, he was tired from the last mission and needed the rest but it seemed something out there was out to make sure he didn't sleep.The alarm going off in the bureau had woken him up. "Sleeping in tHs place is always so impossible" he groaned as he rolled over and placed his pillow over his head to block off the blaring alarm.The alarm always goes off whenever they discover a new portal. Whenever a new portal is reported to have been opened, the alarms go off to alert every talented in the building so that they can go out and immediately close the portal.However Maverick didn't get up, since he was just coming back from a mission several houses ago and needed to rest to replenish his strength.****"What's happening?" Natasha asked, she knew what was happening but she just wanted an affirmation from the people working in the control room."A new portal has been reported to have opened in town, just in front of the main roads in town.
Chapter 36"We're number one again on the popularity list." Talia said to Jiren as they were in a vehicle on their way to their new mission."huh?" Jiren said as he looked at her, obviously lost in thought."I say we are number one again on the popularity list, our team." she said this time, waving her phone in his face to show him what the news said."oh, yes of course. Did you expect anything less?" He smiled. "not really but it's expected since we've been doing so well in all our missions lately" "Thanks to me that is." Jiren smirked. "oh please, you're invisible in the team""You jest, I am the success of our team. You know it." he bragged with confidence. "Okay, okay. Maybe you helped a little but don't flatter yourself." Talia said wanting to irk him more. But he just rolled his eyes and looked at the window And then he asked. "what do you expect from the mission today?""I dunno, they said it's a C class portal. We should be fine." Talia said, as she went back to pressing
Chapter 37 Energy infusion+ Enhanced Senses: Energy sensingMaverick activated his skills and he was able to sense any form of energy within the vicinity, even those monsters lurking around. It's been some months since he Learnt the sensing technique and has been able to perfect it. He was able to detect the monsters hidden under the ground, in the crevices and the holes."they are coming" He and Sky said together and then they looked at one another. Sky had activated her talent as well and was immediately able to detect the monsters and tell which way they should go. Hers was more precise and detailed compared to Maverick's, because it was her talent.Just as they had said it, the team didn't debate on who to believe, but immediately readied themselves for combat. Just then, the giant snakes erupted from the ground and through the holes and crevices, charging at them. In no time, the place was covered in crawling snakes.Each of these snakes was about 18 ft long and half a metre w
Chapter 38"She's getting worse" Sky said, as she tried to keep Talia steady. Talia was beginning to burn up. Her temperature was rising and she was sweating profusely. Her eyes were shut and she kept mumbling incoherent words."They should hurry up" Theon said as he tried to fend off some of the snacks that were heading for Sky and Talia. Sky was focused on providing momentary first aid for Talia, so her health does not get worse. While Theon focused on fending off the other snakes that were around. ****Maverick propelled himself forward with his talents, he used his force control to blast forward with so much speed that he shot at the snake like a rocket, attempting to punch it. But the snake again was able to avoid it as it kept running ahead faster than before. Jiren was running on the walls by the side of the snake, shooting more and more ice blasts at the snake but all was to know avail.Jiren used his ices to push himself ahead, well timed with one of Maverick's attacks, s
Chapter 39"come on breath Talia, breath. Don't die like this." Sky said, trying desperately to keep Talia alive. But her attempts weren't so effective and Talia's health kept getting worse by the minute. "she's going into shock.just what kind of a venom is this?" Theon ran over to them having dispatched the snakes that were attacking them. He held Talia's hand and squeezed it tightly. "Just what is keeping those two? Hurry up already" Theon said and just then the entire place shook from a tremor of some kind, as though there was an earthquake happening."what's going on?" Theon said as he looked at Sky. Sky immediately activated her talent and navigated the place to find an answer. "Oh no. I think they are fighting the boss monster right now, on the surface. That's what's causing the tremors. But I can't find Jiren, it's just Maverick up there." Sky informed Theon."I think we should leave this place, before it caves in on us" Theon began carrying Talia, trying to get to safety be
Chapter 40 Maverick was still staring in disbelief at what had just happened. At this point he had forgotten about the pain that was pillaging his body and was just focused on looking at Jiren.He could not still speak but he had several questions to ask him. He had seen the black aura around him, the strange energy, the strange ominous presence that he had emitted that was potent enough to make a B+ monster try to escape, the strong display of power. He was glad that he survived and that Jiren had defeated the monster but there were a lot of questions he had to ask.'Jiren, what just happened? ''what's this power that you are using and how did you get it?''How did you get so strong?''This is not something a B class can do, how are you doing it?''How is your ice now able to turn to crystal?'Maverick cursed that he could not speak yet, the most he could do at this point was to twiddle his fingers and toes. "that's settles that"Jiren said as he watched the frozen corpse of the
Chapter 41Maverick's alarm rang loudly at 7am in the morning but he didn't move, it kept ringing and ringing. He managed to move his right hand around the side of his bed, found the alarm and then turned it off so that he could continue his sleep. At 7:10am his phone rang repeatedly and he angrily answered the call."Maverick, where have you been that you haven't been picking my call. there is an urgent mission and the team is needed asap." Hermione's voices sounded from the phone "Sorry I can't make it." Maverick hung up the phone and then went back to sleep. The phone rang again five minutes later and he picked it up angrily "I can't make it Hermione," he said. "will you get your ass off the bed and meet your team in the location that I have texted to you. It's urgent and I want to see you there in 30 minutes." he heard Natasha's voice this time around and he sighed deeply. He just laid in bed deprived of sleep.It hasn't been up to 6 hours since he returned from his mission
Chapter 135Supremus pointed his metallic finger of his left arm at Maverick and immediately beam of energy shot out of it and was aimed at Maverick. The beam of energy was so strong and intense that it left a trail of destruction as it was heading for Maverick.Maverick remained calm, standing and watching with no visible expression on his face. He wasn't even bothered that the energy beam was heading straight for him. But just about half a metre to his position, the beam collided with an invisible force that shielded Maverick from the beam. The collision of the beam with the force resulted in an explosion that enveloped the entire place, owing to its destructive nature.Seconds later and the explosion cleared and Maverick will be seen unscathed. Not just himself now, but the other children that were on the ground.Maverick looked away from Supremus and then at the children who were besides him. He had also shielded them from the beam and explosion. He extended his energy towards th
Chapter 134"Ahhhhhh, it hurts. Maverick help" Alyssa yelled as the pain became unbearable for her and the others. They are still being held to the ground and pushed down by the force of great magnitude, created by Supremus.Supremus was just silent, having a satisfied look on his face as he watched the kids lay helplessly in pain. He saw that they would pass out soon enough and be crushed to squat in no time.Adrian was also surprised at the technological advancement of supremus, seeing how he had been able to harness and use the pure energy with his technology, even without being able to naturally use talents like the others. "Maverick, help" Alyssa struggled to cry out finally, as her eyes began Rolling into the back of her head, bones creaking and blood rolling out of her nose and ears. Maverick was still so consumed by anger from the black energy coursing through his body that he didn't think of anything else but to destroy the robot. But still, he heard her faintly and his att
Chapter 133."So it was you all along, lying to me?" Maverick said as he looked at Adrian with a frown on his face. "Yes, it was me. You were very gullible back then, I must admit." Adrian said with a soft smile.Maverick gritted his teeth in anger and then tried to break free of his restraints, but he was still so weak."You made me kill innocent people" Maverick verbally confronted him, still angry with the incident in the old world where he was compelled to slaughter the innocent villagers for telling him the truth. "I had no choice, you were poking around so much, so I did what I had to do." Adrian answered whilst continuing with what he was doing on the computer. Maverick gritted his teeth seeing no hint of remorse in both men. At this point, he was certain that they no longer had any bit of humanity left in them."I promise you, I'll get you for this and I'll kill you." Maverick swore. "I doubt that. Supremus, I'm ready. He's prepped and we can begin the procedure at any ti
Chapter 132."Wake up, Wake up" the children who had returned from trying to find a way out of the place began shaking the three that had been knocked out by the robot, trying to make them wake up. "We have to move before the robot or any other comes back to finish the job." the other said, helping one of them up.Alyssa groaned, feeling very exhausted because every bit of energy in her body had been drained. The other boy helped her up and then they reminisced on what happened. "They took Maverick" one of them said. "We have to go after them and save him." Alyssa added, struggling to get back up on her own as she was slowly recovering strength."I don't think we can take that robot on our own." one of the returnees lamented. "Were you able to find a way out?" Alyssa asked. "Yes, we overheard one of the armed men saying there's a shuttle on the roof. That will be our best method of escape at this point." he replied. "Then we have no choice but to still go up. Let's go"****The
chapter 131Maverick was being watched from one of the security cameras in the facility. The man who conversed with the system earlier was watching and he was perplexed and awed."Such potent light energy, I must have it." he exclaimed as he licked his lips."Now I see why this Maverick boy is very important. His energy will help us by leaps and bounds. I must have it. "He stood up from the chair he was sitting on and watched the holographic screen in front of him with so much interest. With a push of a button in his wristwatch he contacted the man behind the system persona."Adrian, throw in everything we have. Send in the recent models of the hunters. "he instructed. When Adrian, the man with the system persona heard it he objected at first. "Sir but…"But the man interrupted brashly. "Adrian, I am the boss here and do what I say. You can do away with the other blessed ones but we must have Maverick"He turned off the communication device and laughed. "It's been decades since m
Chapter 130.Even in the light that have momentarily enveloped the area and blinded the place, Maverick kept moving. He leapt to the roof and ran on it to get to the armed men. He could not see, but he could sense just very fine.The armed men kept shooting since there was nothing else they could do, they couldn't see and they couldn't just wait until they were able to see again.The lasers they were firing off was so powerful that it was able to easily penetrate through the metals on the ground and floor and doing significant damage.Maverick dropped in thier midst and punched the two behind the lead armed man, very hard. The punch sent them flying backwards since maverick used a lot of power for it. The third man realizing what was happening immediately aimed his gun at maverick and was about shooting him down but immediately the man was kicked in his face by the girl that had met Maverick before. The light receded and everyone could see again. The lead armed man saw that none of
Chapter 129."No no no, not again. It's happening again."Maverick exclaimed in horror as he held his head and shook it, trying to wake up from the dream if it was a dream. But after several attempts with no successful result, he just gave up and sat on the ground, distraught. His exclamation and behaviour surprised everyone else in the room, since they were somehow confused as to what was happening."What's happening?" one of them finally asked, looking at everyone and at Maverick so that he could find an answer. There were several mumbles but at the end there was no response, obviously because none of them knew what was happening. Then all eyes turned to Maverick who was folded like a ball on the ground, lamenting. "um hello? Sir?" a feminine voice spoke, talking Maverick.Maverick looked up and saw a girl looking at him, she was really among the group. She had blonde hair and was cute."Please do you know what is happening?" she asked him.Maverick remained silent as he looked a
Chapter 128. "When the time comes, hit him with everything you have. Do not miss." director Maxwell said to maverick. Them of them looked at each other and then nodded before they looked at Jiren who was already approaching them.Jiren was coming closer and then could sense the build up of energy from him again. Jiren's hands were getting cold as he prepared to use the same technique he used before, this time much stronger than he used before so that he would be able to kill them both. The monsters from his chest were already getting antsy and ready to devour more things, moving around Jiren in readiness. "Listen Maverick, he's most vulnerable when he does this technique, make sure you don't miss. I have seen what will happen should you fail, the world will be destroyed, do not fail."Maxwell said again.Maverick nodded after the director finished speaking. He wasn't sure what he was supposed to do, but he knows that whatever happens he must do something to kill Jiren.At the pr
Chapter 127"Just die Maverick" Jiren yelled as he punched Maverick on the cheek and the impact blasted Maverick away like a rocket.Jiren opened his mouth as wide as he could like he was about to roar, the moment he did so, he channelled all the energy in his body into his mouth and he screamed abruptly.By this time, Maverick was trying to get back his balance, the force of the punch he had received had damaged his jaw and caused him to start bleeding but he did not relent and was still willing to get back into the fight.Maverick's senses picked up large amounts of energy accumulating and when he looked at Jiren as he was being thrown back, he saw Jiren opening his mouth and the moment he did he saw him scream.The scream was followed by an emission of destructive black energy that ransacked th4 environment aimed straight at maverick. The energy cleared the already barren desert and blasted Maverick back into the city. Maverick felt his entire body burning as he was blasted by the
