The XB-999 Valkyrie tore through the skies at Mach-3 speed—over 2000 miles per hour. It was a supersonic bomber, otherwise decommissioned from the military. The aircraft was one of the many overpriced assets of the New World Order.Krull Island was around five hundred miles from Springfield, but the Valkyrie braved the distance within fifteen minutes."Sir, we are about to reach the point above the island," the three-star pilot said over the radio. "Are you ready to drop?""I am ready," Victor replied. He was actually lying under the fuselage of the aircraft, inside a hollow bomb weighing half a ton.Fifteen minutes earlier, when the Valkyrie picked him up from Springfield, the pilot gave him a red pill in a sachet. It was the level-2 activation formulation that would remove specific limiters placed on his body.Victor's constitution contained tremendous, immeasurable power. When he retired from the NWO two years back and returned to civilian life, the Tribunal, Atticus Mars, let him
The terrorists felt their hearts jump up their throats. What kind of human could shatter a thirty-inch reinforced wall by walking through it?The leader among them, Randy, didn’t even think twice before unleashing his Minigun. The others, who carried Automatic Browning Rifles, also opened fire on the individual who burst through the northern wall.Rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat! Rat-a-tat-tat-tatTheir weapons went off in short bursts, discharging hellish fire and lead. Smoke filled the air and used bullet shells showered down like rain. The girls, who couldn’t understand what was happening, shrieked at the top of their voices.After thirty seconds of onslaught, Randy held up his hand to signal his men to stop. As their gunfire ceased and the smoke dissipated, he let out a satisfied grunt.“Whoever he was, however strong he was, underestimated the firepower of Monolith. Now let’s see what remains of his corpse.”He took two steps forward, immediately stopped in his tracks, and began raining bu
Victor headed towards the concert stadium with slow steps. He wanted to rescue Haley with his own hands, but it would have been dangerous. His current form was geared for battle, not fragile actions.Victor’s body temperature was already past 300 degrees Fahrenheit, enough to boil and evaporate water. If it went past 500 degrees, he would transform, which was the last thing he wanted at the moment.Victor’s clothes had burnt into him, making him look like wearing a dark costume. As the man walked, he left behind burn marks on the floor.Suddenly, a phone in the adjacent room rang. Victor quickly went inside and picked up the receiver.“Sir, are you alright?” Maverick asked. “After you destroyed their mainframe, I could hack into the communication system.”“I am fine…” Victor replied, although he found it difficult to form words. All he wanted to do was fight, kill and destroy.“The rescue team has landed and is making its way down to the dungeons. The hostages will be safe. Do you nee
Carol's vehicle cruised to a halt outside the gas station near Tuscan Hill. It was a remote location that barely ever got any customers. At the moment, when the city was under attack, any traffic was much less likely.The gas station was boarded up and looked abandoned. Carol was about to step out of her car when she received a call. It was Claire."What is it? If you think you can change my mind at the last minute, forget it. I am already at the location. I'm not turning back!"Claire had urgency in her voice. "Carol! Forget everything else! Please listen to me carefully! The element you discovered in the Tuscan Hill mines is very dangerous!""What do you mean by dangerous? It's just a hard substance, right? Of course, there could be military applications. But it's not nuclear or anything.""We know nothing else about it! Apart from the fact that it can kill Caesar!""I… I don't understand." She knew Claire was close to Caesar and perhaps knew his true identity.Carol had watched Cae
Tears rolled down in rivulets down Carol's cheeks. She could hear the finality in Courtney's words and see the bloodlust in her eyes. The Blackwell heiress was eager to shed blood.Carol tried to reason with herself. Revealing the new element's location would endanger Caesar but won't immediately kill him. However, at the moment, her family was a sliver away from death."Tell her what she wants to know, you stupid girl!" Martha scolded her. "What else is more important to you than your family? I'd slap you right now if I could!""What are you waiting for?" her father chimed in. "Will you ever forgive yourself if we die for your pigheadedness? Give it to her!"Josh was already wailing like a pig, unable to bear the pain from his slashed cheek. The brat had always been like that, pampered and protected. Even the slightest discomfort made him spiral into a tantrum.Carol looked from her mother to her father to her brother. There was no way out but to give in to Courtney's demand."Alrigh
The gas station was evacuated within minutes. A chopper landed outside, waiting for Courtney. The latter knelt beside Carol, who was fastened to a pipeline."So pretty…" she said, touching Carol's face. "I want to take something from you before I leave."Courtney kissed her on the lips. "Now I have stolen your last kiss. Or was it the first kiss as well? It was tasty anyway. Now I have a return gift for you."Carol cringed and eyed Courtney anxiously. What other surprise did the demoness have for her? Wasn't strapping an explosive device to her satisfactory enough?"You know… I met your ex-husband, Victor. I thought I'd seduce him, but he acted too aloof. And why wouldn't he? You are so much prettier and holier than you—just the kind of woman he likes. Therefore, Victor has eyes for nobody else. However, I offered him a slice of the cake you had made. He gladly gobbled it up—the emotional fool.""What have you done?" Carol exclaimed in exasperation. Courtney was ramping up to a scary r
Philip Typhoon waited in the concert stadium, staring at the empty pavilions. He had already realized that the Krull Island plan was a bust.Caesar had entered the island like a maelstrom, massacring all Monolith agents single-handedly. Typhoon was the last man standing.But Typhoon was not an ordinary man. He was a general of the Puppetmaster and had abilities that exceeded normal human beings. Therefore, he was looking forward to a fight with the legendary Caesar to put his abilities to the test.Typhoon was releasing enough bloodlust to attract his target. While an ordinary person wouldn’t notice it, a fighter like Caesar would see it as a beacon. It was only a matter of time before he arrived.Tap! Tap! Tap!Footsteps sounded down the pavilion aisles. Someone was coming!Typhoon readied himself. It was showtime!However, he was disappointed to see a tall Amazonian woman approaching him. What the hell!“Who the fuck are you?” The Monolith lieutenant asked. “Are you one of the super
Typhoon withdrew his hand from Val's grip, skipping back a few yards."I've heard of you, Valeria Armstrong," he said with a smirk. "You killed many of my underlings in the past. Today, you'll pay for that.""Is that so? I don't really notice when I step on insects."Typhoon chuckled and leered at Val from head to foot. "So much beauty and grace. So much strength and confidence. I must admit I am smitten, young lady. Would you consider joining Monolith and being my lover? That's the only way you're getting out of this alive."Val tilted her head to the side. "What a generous offer! You're asking me to betray the most powerful organization in the world to join a gang of hoodlums and sleep with an ugly delinquent. I must admit I am tempted!""Your humor rivals your beauty, Valeria. Don't complain later that I didn't offer you a way out. I'll hate myself when I bash that pretty face in. When I fuck you, you'll be long dead!"Val smirked naughtily. "Oh, you're such a bad boy! Tell you wha
