Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Carry The World On Your Shoulders
BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

It was as though the apocalypse had descended upon the people of Saitama. The air boiled from the massive amounts of mana being poured around. The land quaked from the intense earthquake that rendered it to dust and soot! The waters all over the city boiled from the heat and massive explosions that echoed through the city!

And in the middle of all this, Mark and Merlin were going at it like madmen!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Merlin was throwing around spells like he had no reservations at all! It didn’t matter what sort of spell it was! It didn’t matter what the element was, and it didn’t matter what the hell was needed in order to activate the spell! Magic itself bent to Merlin’s will and activated for him! Mana came out from every pore in his body and crafted his will into physical form! Everything came to him easily, and he was able to cast spells back to back like they were a joke! The only limitation was his imagination!

DOOM!

A hundred magic circles appeared in the sky above Saitama, lighting up the entire prefecture in a hue of yellow! The circles began to shoot projectiles out at an astonishing pace that rendered the ground to pieces! One of the projectiles stabbed into a passerby that was hiding behind a car and the man was immediately incinerated to dust as the projectile combusted him in seconds!

And on the opposing side of all these spells, Mark was moving!

Mark was running through attacks and breaking through buildings as he tried his best to make his way closer to Merlin. Mark knew that now that he was a bishop, he had a lot more mana than before, so he did not need to be as conservative as he was before, but Mark was still holding back because he was waiting for something. He knew that it was only a matter of time before he had his chance, and he would not waste it!

Mark dodged around a massive arrow that tried to skewer him, and he dodged into a building as a massive torrent of fire almost scorched him! He could feel the entire building heating up, and Mark burst through the wall of the house just as the entire building blew up in a massive explosion!

KA-BOOM!!

“Hahahaha! Come on, Mark Vanitas! Stop running and show me what you’re made of! Is this the limit to what the gods spoke so much about!?”

Merlin was obviously enjoying himself as he threw all those spells around, and Mark couldn’t help but gain a small grin on his face as he felt Merlin’s excitement to be infectious! Mark grabbed a car from behind him and chucked it at Merlin like a javelin, and a massive blade of wind appeared in between and destroyed the car before it could get close to Merlin. But Mark was right behind the car as he drew his hand back and unleashed a blow!

[Divergent Fist]!

BOOM!

A massive sonic boom echoed through the air, and Merlin had to put his hand up to his face to block the blowback! He felt the wind pressure blow him backward as a huge hole was torn into the clouds in the sky! Merlin shook his head and quickly pointed his staff at Mark with that smile still on his face.

“Not bad! Not bad at all! Your power is really beyond anything I’ve seen from a mortal before! But is that all you have!? You’re going to have to try a bit harder than that!”

Merlin activated a giant magic circle below him that covered up more than half of the prefecture, and Morgana put her hand to her face and groaned in tired annoyance as she saw Merlin activating one of his most tasking spells! This idiot was going to use a spell like this for something this small!?

The truth is that Merlin was excited. He was far too excited at this moment, and he was not thinking very clearly. Merlin chose to join the game of gods of his own free will because of how boring his life had been for a long time now. Merlin and Morgana were destined to be rivals for eternity, and they would always exist until magic itself no longer existed. They have lived through hundreds of lifetimes and have seen hundreds of thousands of people die in their time.

When Merlin learned that the game was going to happen, he immediately volunteered to join it because he was interested in fighting again. And now that Merlin had seen the kind of power that Mark had, Merlin just lost it! Merlin knew that it would be impossible to fight Mark with small spells since Mark was too fast. Mark would be able to easily dodge it, and that would make it useless. That meant that the only way to really fight Mark was by using one of the best spells in his arsenal to crush him once and for all.

And since Mark has been so kind to show Merlin all this power, it was only right that Merlin would show Mark the extent of his own power as well! Merlin unconsciously called on one of the greatest physical skills in his arsenal.

“Asteroidis.” [A/N: This one should be obvious.]

Luna was standing on the edge of a skyscraper a few kilometers away to watch the fight that was happening, and she immediately put her hand to her mouth in shock as she saw what was falling on top of Mark.

“Isn’t that an asteroid!?”

DOOM!!

A massive asteroid the size of a small island was falling out from the magic circle in the sky, and Mark couldn’t even move two steps before it was right on top of him! Mark knew that no matter how fast he bolted at that moment, he would still be hit by the asteroid, so he had to tank the blow!

‘100 percent!! Now!!’

Mark shouted to his system as he pulled his arm back, and the system immediately sent out a prompt.

[The user has been at 100% output since the start of the fight.]

“Fuck!”

[Yes, fuck indeed.]

[Critical Hit]!!

BOOM!

Mark slammed his fist into the bottom of the falling asteroid, and a massive crack formed on the surface of the asteroid! But it was not enough to destroy it, and Mark had to put both hands on the asteroid and hold it with all his power as it fell on top of him!

CRACK!

A large crater formed on the ground as he was immediately pushed into the ground!

DOOM!

Luna leaned off the edge of the railing of the skyscraper as she tried to get a good look at what was happening. The asteroid was still falling at the same pace as before, and Luna could feel a lot of distress forming in her heart as she didn’t see any reaction from Mark! Was he dead!? No, there was no way that he would die! He couldn’t die!

“RARGGGHH!”

A loud shout echoed out from under the asteroid, and to everyone’s shock, the asteroid started to slow down as Mark tried his best to hold on. Luna leaned forward even more as she saw the asteroid slowing down, and she had to hold onto the railing tighter as she felt the ground under her feet shaking!
