Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 215

Chapter 215: The False King
Mark took off his gloves and they vanished into thin air before he put his hands back in his pocket. No one said anything about the strange occurrence! Honestly, all of them have seen weirder shit than a vanishing pair of gloves!

“There are some changes that I want to make regarding our subsidiaries, so I’ll be in contact with you too.”

Hugo’s teeth were clenched tightly inside his mouth, and Mark could see a single tear that was about to fall from the side of Hugo’s eyes! Is this old man actually going to cry!? Don’t start crying all of a sudden, I don’t know how to handle that!

Hugo was just too overcome with emotion knowing that Mark still trusted him to continue leading after everything that had been said about him! Hugo knew that Mark had every right to just toss him away from the position of the acting CEO and give it to someone who seemed more capable, but Mark wasn’t doing that! Hugo decided at that moment that he would do his best to not let Mark down!

“Of course, Mark. I’ll keep all you’ve said in mind. And I’ll be waiting for your call.”

Mark smiled and waved goodbye to Hugo calmly as he started walking towards where his car was parked! Mark looked at the two siblings that were also waiting for him and he sighed while scratching the back of his head!

“Well, come on then, you perverted siblings. Let’s get going.”

Mark knew that the Superhuman Alliance would eventually come for him. It’s already been two months since Mark was summoned, so the timeline was pretty accurate. Even though he was no longer being sued by the government since he was already part of a guild, he still had to go to the headquarters to record his power level for the database.

Turner yelled in indignation as he heard Mark calling him a pervert.

“EH!? I’m not a pervert! It’s just her!”

“Ahn~ He called me a pervert!”

…

A landscape of fire and brimstone falling covered the vision of every living thing! Flames and black soot poured from the sky like rain, filling her vision with scenes of the apocalypse! For as far as the eyes could see, there was nothing but destruction. Broken homes, destroyed landscapes, and flaring storms of fire decorated the land.

From the safety of her prison cell, the little girl huddled herself up tightly as she hid from the scary world. She did not have anyone. The only person she once had was gone, and now she was alone. She was more than prepared to die in this spot; she would cease to exist and there would be no more pain. She would no longer be alone.

Crash!

Boom!

“YOU FUCKING BASTARD! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS FUCKING SHITTY PIECE OF CRAP MADE OF!?”

But then he crashed into her world, cursing like a sailor.

…

“Madam Luna, the council is ready for you.”

Luna blinked multiple times to get herself back to the present as she heard someone talking to her from the side. She looked away from the statue of KING that was positioned in front of the Superhuman Alliance building. The Statue was not an accurate one. No one knew what KING looked like, so the person who made the statue had done his best to depict KING as a true hero without showing his face. KING was wearing a long hood that covered most of his face, but his physique and heroic posture were more than enough to make everyone look up in awe as they passed his statue.

But Luna knew that the statue was wrong. Everyone was wrong about KING. She knew that no matter how well they tried to craft a likeness to fit KING, they would never be able to do it. Because contrary to what everyone in the world was thinking about the man who saved their lives, KING was no man! The person who saved their lives four years ago was a little boy no older than fifteen!

“The council has prepared the room for your report. They are willing to hear you out now if you are ready. I can call another guild member to go up if you do not wish to speak to them at this moment.”

The woman who was standing beside Luna spoke gently with a lot of respect in her tone and posture! Her hands were joined in front of her and she never looked Luna in the eye for longer than necessary.

The woman noticed how Luna was spacing out while staring at the Statue of King and she could understand. Every superhuman that comes to the Superhuman Alliance building is always in awe as they stare at that statue. That statue was more than just a simple statue of a man to them; it was a representation of an ideal. An impossible goal that they could never reach. Something to look up to.

People have always speculated how strong King would have been if he were alive today. There were MeTube videos and even serious analyses that had been done by real experts. If KING was capable of handling an Armageddon Class immediately after gaining his blessing, just how powerful would he have been if he was still alive today, four years later? Some people say that he would be strong enough to carry the world on his shoulders, while others say that he would no longer be considered a human. Maybe he would have even attracted the attention of the gods and he would be made into a god himself!

Today, in the Federation of America, there are only five known individuals who possess enough strength to be considered as undefined. These five individuals were all blessed by major gods, and it is said that each of them possesses enough strength to handle the Armageddon that KING had fought against in the very beginning.

Simply having that much power made everyone see them as the next Kings that would protect the world if another Armageddon were to appear, and the people of America all referred to them as the Five SOVERIGNS. Some people say that the SOVERIGNS are only as strong as KING was at the beginning, while others say that they are stronger than KING was.

But no one could really predict it since they had no way to really measure the power of the SOVERIGNS and no one really knew just how strong KING really was. Everyone just saw it as something that would always be debated.

The woman waiting for Luna was an A-rank that was capable of handling low-level Calamity Classes easily, but she still gazed at Luna with reverence as she waited for Luna to regard her fully. The woman was an Agent from the Superhuman Alliance and she knew that the council wouldn’t mind waiting if Luna wanted to waste some more time! As one of the SOVERIGNS who is said to be on par with the power that KING possessed, Luna had every right to waste as much time as she wanted!

Luna finally looked away from the statue of KING, and the woman who had been waiting for her almost lost her breath as she saw Luna’s face in all its beautiful glory when Luan turned to her! It was radiant!

It wasn’t that the woman was attracted to Luna in any way, but her reaction was something that she couldn’t stop even if she wanted to! Seeing someone like Luna up close would be like seeing an Angel in the flesh! You can’t help but lose your breath!
