Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 138

Chapter 138: Death God’s Ignorance
Mark’s eye twitched as he read through the message, and he finally reined his anger in as he made himself calm down. He just glared toward where Thanatos was walking through as he watched the bastard leaving. Mark cemented this moment into his memory. He would not forget this, and he would make sure he settled this score in time.

Thanatos could literally feel the animosity from Mark as Mark glared at his back, and Thanatos turned around to look at the mere mortal that dared to glare at him. Thanatos’s finger twitched as he thought about killing Mark right at that moment, but he knew that it would be bad since he did not have a legitimate reason for it. Killing Mark here would mean that Sozin had the right to kill all of Thanatos’s champions without any reason, and Thanatos knew that he would be on the losing end if that ever happened. It would be better to just tolerate the insult.

Boom!

Thanatos released some of his aura at Mark, and Mark’s eyes widened as he felt himself fly backward from the intensity of the aura! Mark didn’t even understand what the hell just happened! As far as Mark knew, he was glaring at Thanatos one moment, and the next moment he was flying back from an invisible force slamming into him! Thanatos clicked his tongue against his teeth once more as he turned back around to leave.

“Be gone, fool.”

…

“Gasp!”

Mark gasped as he came back to the real world, and he shook his head to get his bearings back to normal.

“Mmh.”

Arit moaned from beside Mark, and Mark turned to see her sleeping beside him. Oh right, he left to finish the trial just after Arit fell asleep beside him. Mark fell back down in his bed, and Arit immediately came close to him and lay down on his chest with another moan. She pressed her breast into his chest as she buried her face into his nape, and Mark brushed her hair calmly to make sure that she was comfortable. Mark wrapped his hand around Arit and his brow furrowed in annoyance as he remembered how he was kicked out by Thanatos. He was definitely not going to forget about that bastard anytime soon; someday, he would get strong enough to challenge that bastard, and he would beat the shit out of him.

But for now, Mark decided to just forget about all that and focus instead on the rewards that he got from Thanatos for completing the tests. Mark turned to his system and opened the numerous tabs that he wasn’t able to open before.

[The User has successfully completed Thanatos’ tests. The user has gained a gift from Thanatos.]

[Thanatos, the god of Death, has granted the user the new Divine Skill [Ignorance of The Death God.]]

[[Ignorance of The Death God]: This skill, bestowed by Thanatos, grants the user the ability to instinctively evade one attack from any enemy, even if the user is unaware of the impending danger. This skill is applicable to all attacks, fatal or not, regardless of the attack’s strength.]

…

Mark almost shot up in shock as he read through the gift that he got from Thanatos! Holy shit, this was an amazing skill! The skill would allow Mark to not only avoid sneak attacks, but he could avoid the first attack from any enemy regardless of who that enemy was! That meant that Mark didn’t need to worry about the first attack from an enemy anymore when he was in the middle of a fight!

And if there is an attack that he doesn’t notice, he doesn’t need to worry about it either since he would still evade it even if he doesn’t see it! This was even better than Charon’s skill that allowed him to see the enemy’s weakness!

With a skill like this, Mark could fool the enemy into thinking that they would kill him with an attack and then use it to counterattack when the enemy is stunned by their attack not damaging him.

Mark put his hand on his face and chuckled in a deep baritone as he saw the benefit of all the near-death experiences he just had in that test. He died twice and fought like a madman, but it was all worth it if he got a skill like this.

“Moan~!”

Arit moaned again as Mark’s laughing almost woke her up, and she turned her back to Mark and pressed her ass into his side. Mark sighed and finally decided to just get some rest. He would have more time to test out his skills later; for now, he had to rest. Mark turned around and wrapped his hands around Arit so that he was spooning her, and he felt Arit snuggle tighter so that her ass pressed into his crotch. She held his forearm softly as she felt him hugging her.

“Hmm~ Mark… you’re awake?”

Mark kissed Arit’s neck softly.

“Yeah. Sorry for waking you.”

“S’okay… I was thinking about something.”

Mark hummed.

“What’s that?”

Arit paused for a moment before she finally spoke up again.

“Well… Do you think we can ever go back to school?”

Mark hummed as he heard Arit say this. That was quite the loaded question. Mark did not have any issues going back to school. He was already used to staying around normal humans, and he knew that even if he went back to school and there was a lot of attention, he could handle it. The real issue here was Arit, and they both knew it.

Arit was much stronger than before now, and she still didn’t have any idea how to control her power. Not only that, but she also had these intense moments of aggressiveness that she couldn’t control. Mark did not think it was a good idea for Arit to go back to school when she was like this.

But Mark couldn’t do that to Arit.

Mark knew that Arit would accept his reasoning if he told her that they could no longer go back. If Mark told Arit that they were no longer going back to school, Arit would accept his decisions and that would be the end of it, but Mark also knew that Arit would not be happy about it. Arit wanted to be a doctor, and to do that she needed to complete her education and eventually go study medicine at the university.

Arit’s dreams would be crushed if they didn’t go back to school.

“Let’s finish your treatment with Jeanne first. I’ll teach you to control your accidental bursts of strength, and we’ll talk about this again when Jeanne gives an okay for you to end your treatment. Is that okay?”

Arit tightened her hold on Mark’s hand, and Mark could tell that she was inwardly very happy about what he said. When she spoke again, Mark could literally hear the smile in her voice.

“Yes… that’s perfect. Thank you, Mark.”

Mark hummed with a smile as he kissed Arit’s neck once more.

“Goodnight, Arit.”

“Goodnight.”
