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
Chapter 48 Jiren stepped out of the portal after several hours. He was covered in blood and bruises and his clothes were torn up in several places. Most of the blood on his body wasn't his, so other than the bruises and minor wounds on his body and his laboured breath, he was completely fine.He had an angry expression on his face as he came out of the portal. He was angry because he did not find what he was looking for in the portal, even though he had successfully killed all the monsters inside and had destroyed the energy core of the portal,so the portal will be closing any time soon.'That was almost like a waste of time. Other than the fact that I had to test my strength I'd have regretted going in there. Although, today I was able to prove something to myself, I can successfully clear a C class portal without issue.'The last part placed a sinister smile on his face, but it still did not help with the devilish look on his face. He walked away before anyone would come to invest
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
