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 42Maverick looked at the water in the surroundings again and was troubled the more he looked at it. It was already almost at his knees and it was still rising drastically. He knew that if it was not checked, the city would be flooded in about two to three hours. They heard a scream from one of the buildings, just ahead of their own and they rushed out to see what was happening. They saw people running away frantically, those left to be evacuated. "the monsters are already coming out, you have to move now." Natasha said, as she saw what was happening. Just as she did, the other saw it as well. They could see sinuous movements behind the people screaming and running away. And they knew that whatever was underneath the water was a monster chasing the people yet to be evacuated. Skill Activated: Energy sensing. Maverick activated his skill so he could sense what was happening more accurately. He sensed several low level monsters charging towards the people running away and
Chapter 43"have you found the portal yet?" Natasha yelled as she spoke into the comms from the command centre near the area. She was agitated and angry, there had been no breakthrough so far and casualties kept increasing just like the level of the water on the city. "not …y..et ma'am, but we think we may have discovered where it is in the area."the broken voice of a man sounded from the speakers. It was fluctuating due to network interferences." I don't want you to think, I want you to find it. Just find it. How's the situation over there?" she yelled immediately with so much frustration."Yes ma'am, we're trying our best. The situation over here is….. very dire. We have lost 6 of the 10 boats we had come with. The helicopter numbers too have dwindled, the monsters just keep increasing and we are unable to fight back just as we should because of the disadvantage we have. We can not fight them effectively on their turf, they have terrain advantage over us. Honestly ma'am, it looks
Chapter 44There was a loud muffled sound and then an explosion that emanated from the bottom of the water. The spot in the water where it had originated from rose and collapsed immediately, causing a shockwave to travel omnidirectionally on the water body. The shockwave caused a sort of tidal wave and rocked the entire surface of the water and as well as disturbed the atmosphere slightly.The occurrence drew everyone's attention again, as they realised that it had come from the point where the portal was located under the sea."what's happening?" James asked curiously, as he looked around trying to figure out what happened. The sound occurred again, just like an explosion occurring at the bottom of the sea, sending the entire pressure of the explosion to the surface and upset it with a series of disastrous waves.The water had beCome unstable, the few boats left on the surface, rocked so much that it was harder for them to navigate or even stay afloat anymore."I don't know, but it
Chapter 45Talia gasped in surprise and worry as she saw Maverick jump out of his helicopter to fight the tentacle on TV. The visuals were not so clear because the camera was obviously recording from afar, but she could tell it was maverick."I feel so bad right now. Everyone is out there fighting and we are in here because of me."Sky hugged her slowly and rubbed her shoulder. "I feel the same way. But there's nothing particularly we can do right now other than stay here and watch. And besides and more worried about Jiren.'' When she mentioned Jiren she looked at the door, hoping he would come back. Jiren was hard headed, stubborn and hard to deal with, but this was the first time since she had joined the team that she was seeing him act that way. Theon was still looking at the television, he clenched his fists, obviously wishing that he was there helping too."yeah she's right. Even before we would get to that city to help, a lot of time would have gone by. We should just sit by
Chapter 46"Ladies and gentlemen, fellow viewers, what we are seeing right out is disastrous and getting out of hand even for our heroes to handle. This city that was once spotting a nice little lake can no longer be differentiated from an ocean, there is no more city just water where you see. Treacherous waters even because I was told monster piranhas were lurking around them." the media anchor announced as she was taking a look at the city that had now turned into an ocean and as well guiding the cameraman to show the view to the public watching online.There was water at every turn, just like an ocean. There were no more buildings, trees or land since Everything had been swallowed up by the moving water. "our heroes are struggling to keep up with the monsters they are fighting but they are at a heavy disadvantage, since they can not fight the full brute force of the sea. The monsters are using it to their advantage and giving our heroes no chance to breathe."She reported as the c
Chapter 47"are you okay?" "Sir, are you okay?"Maverick turned and then saw the medical personnel standing behind him and holding his shoulder. He had been lost in thought without taking notice of the surrounding again. He nodded to the person and then stood up. "I'm fine, I just need to rest.""Alright sir, you can go back home and rest now, it's over." the person said to him again. He just nodded and then walked away, towards the direction of the command centre, or where it used to be. But even as he walked, the thought of what just happened could not leave his head. He just kept thinking and then eventually he found a bench to sit down just so he could be alone with his thoughts once more. The place was already busy, different people had already come to provide relief for the injured, others to begin repair of damages and others to bury the dead. Sirens from different vehicles were blaring and they were all working accordingly.'if this s class did not show up, we would hav
