"I knew it!" Victor scoffed, heaving Starfall over his shoulder. "Monolith's first and second wave of attacks seemed too easy to handle. I know the Puppetmaster doesn't play to lose. Therefore, I expected he would send at least one of his rabid dogs to fight.""Tch tch," Raven teased, walking towards him with determined steps. "Such harsh language from such a capable man. You must be popular with the ladies!"The woman was in a full-body, skin-fitting suit made of a dark, flexible, glossy material. Even her head was entirely covered with no openings for eyes, nose, or ears. The only apertures in the suit were metal slots on the back, which Maverick figured were heat sinks."Sir, I am detecting unusual energies from Raven's suit," he warned Victor over the radio. "It's like she's wearing an autonomous machine. Please be careful!"Victor shook his head dismissively. "I just want to get this over quickly. No matter how many caricatures they send at me."The man buried Starfall in the san

Victor raised an eyebrow. "How did Monolith manage to create such an advanced nano-tech suit? Clearly, you guys killed Angela Kaufmann, who was the foremost scientific mind in this field of technology. No other scientist in the world can invent deviant weapons like these."Raven giggled in her underwater tone. "I agree with you, honey. And you are pretty accurate in your inferences about my suit. It doesn't matter how Monolith invented the suit. The fact remains that it has come into existence. The ultimate weapon that can kill the invincible, immortal, peerless man!"Without warning, the female assassin lurched forward. Victor was taken aback by her speed, which had doubled since her last attack. Her crab-like arm-sword swiped at him ruthlessly.Victor dodged the attack and took a giant leap backward. He landed at the point where he buried Starfall. He pulled out the fifteen-ton executioner sword from the sand.Raven was upon him again within seconds. Clang! Clang! His blade sparred

"But Victor appears unconscious!" Haley wailed. "If Raven reaches him in this condition, she will definitely kill him! Isn't there someone who could intervene?! Is the New World Order so helpless without Victor?"A battle cry sounded throughout the beach. Everyone turned to one of the lateral screens, which showed an individual in motion.Valerie Armstrong was racing towards the battle site carrying an AK-107. She fired off rounds in successive bursts at Raven.Rat-tat-tat-tat! As she was an expert markswoman, her bullets found the target. However, they simply bounced off the assassin's nano-tech suit. It was not only bulletproof but absolutely impenetrable to all standard weapons."I'll have to use the King's Hand!" the Five-star general said aloud."What is the King's Hand?" Julia asked Maverick. The latter pursed his lips expectantly."It's a temporary privilege handed down to all Five-star-generals. We can borrow a fraction of Caesar's strength in an all-out attack. Such a move co

"Who is Angela Kaufmann?" Julia asked curiously, looking at the petrified faces of the others."She is a dead woman," Haley replied in a low tone."Wait, what?""Not very long ago, Caesar and Kai went on a mission to save our most important research project—Swallowtail," Maverick explained. "The project was underway in a secret lab headed by Angela on a lake island. When Caesar and Kai reached the location, they found everyone dead. It was a massacre. The scientists, the agents, and Angela herself were butchered. The Puppetmaster had defiled her body and left behind a cryptic warning message for Caesar."Claire gulped anxiously. She was one of those who personally knew Angela Kaufmann. "Are you sure it was her body?"Maverick nodded with a stony expression. "Yes. DNA tests confirmed it. We incinerated her corpse shortly after.""Then how the hell is she still alive?""I have no idea!"The battlefield was silent all of a sudden. Just minutes earlier, it had been ringing with clashes, s

Sebastian licked his lips anxiously. "When you arrived at the Mayor's Office the other day to save me, I was so dazed, it felt like a trance. Therefore, I forgot to tell you this. However, when I retreated to Edgar Tower and settled down, it came to me. I had time to reflect on the day's events and remembered a startling piece of information.""Which is?" Victor asked with irritation."During the Mayor's Office incident, I managed to kill my attackers through the element of surprise. I hid in the closet and waited for them to turn their backs on me. Once the opportunity presented itself, I jumped out and shot them in the heads!"Victor pursed his lips impatiently. "That was very brave and ingenious of you, Seb," he said sarcastically. "But how is that relevant in this situation? I am in the middle of something. You can demand a pat on the back later!"Sebastian shook his head. "No, please, hear me out. When the Monolith thugs were searching my office, they talked aloud about several m

Author's POV[Does the story end here? Is this the epilogue?][Evil won? Good was defeated?][The prophecy failed? The chosen one fell before meeting his nemesis?][Do you think I am kidding, and Victor survived? I can say with absolute certainty that he died in the battle for Springfield Beach.][If you think a man hacked into two halves can come back to life, you've been reading too many fantasy stories][You don't believe me? Let's read the chapter to confirm the fact.]***The ground was flush with freshly cut grass dappled with dew. Daylight was receding, and it was hard to tell whether the sun was rising or setting.A teenager lay on the grass in deep slumber as a warm breeze flowed down the meadow. It was pleasant, but not for long.The sun gradually dipped below the horizon. It could now be conclusively said it was evening. With dramatic rustling and crackling, hedges rose around the boy to form natural alleys. Larks and owls began singing their cacophony in the dark.The teena
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 228 Resurrection
Angela Kaufmann and Sebastian’s clone walked across the sandy beach with resolute steps. They were headed towards the brown bunkers where Valeria, Archibald, Michael, and Lance were camped. A small army of about five hundred active soldiers were gathered there.“What a joke of an army!” Angela quipped. “I could wipe them out blindfolded. Just bite off their heads!”“That wouldn’t be fun,” Sebastian replied, giggling. “I’d like to toy with them for a while. We have plenty of time to spare now that Caesar is dead.”Angela nodded and turned her head to look at Victor’s butchered corpse. It was a hideous scene—the body split from the middle, from head to gut. His carcass had turned dark brown and resembled a deformed ancient tree. It was as still as the blood-soaked sand that surrounded it.Heavy artillery fire from the bunkers was raining down on the duo as they progressed. While the bullets bounced off Angela’s suit, Sebastian dodged them effortlessly with his super soldier skills.“Don
The Peerless Man With a Thousand Gifts 229 Evolution
"The resurrected Victor is going to kill us all?" Claire asked in disbelief. "But why? Isn't he the same person fighting against Monolith to protect us?"However, staring at the screen, she soon realized how pointless her question was. Powerful energy waves kept radiating from Victor as if he stood in the eye of a cyclone. He was transitioning into something else. There was no way he would have anything human left within him."No, that is not the Caesar we know anymore," Maverick replied grimly. "I was afraid this would happen."On the battlefield, Lance, Valeria, Drew, and Michael ran for their lives along with the army."Caesar has four limiters placed in his body by the NWO's Tribunal," Drew explained. "Removing the first is harmless; he can do it alone without outside help. The second limiter gives him access to his higher gifts, including physical invulnerability and manifestation.""Manifestation? What is that?" Lance asked curiously."Simply, it means he can make his wishes com
