Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 402

Chapter 402: It’s Not My Job To Save Idiots
Mark thought about asking the pilot what the hell he thought he was doing flying over the anima like that, but Mark knew it would be a waste of time since he still had to go back into the fight. So instead, Mark shook his head and turned around to leave while saying only a few words.

“I’m going to leave you to die if you try something like that again. It’s not my job to bail out idiots.”

Mark felt a surge of power flow out from his body once he got the message from his system. An extra 1% increase in power wasn’t going to change much in this fight, but it was still enough to give Mark a new boost in energy that would allow him to keep fighting for longer.

The pilot dropped his head in embarrassment once he heard what Mark said. It felt like Mark was reprimanding him, and the fact that he was being cautioned by a boy who wasn’t even past high school yet was enough to deal a serious blow to his pride. The female journalist who caused all this looked away from the scene guiltily. She knew she was at fault for this entire mess, but she didn’t want Mark’s anger directed at her, so she just allowed the pilot to bear the full brunt of it while making herself as invisible as possible.

Mark crouched and blasted off the container, and all three of them held on tightly so they wouldn’t get blown away by the intense wind pressure that Mark released!

WOOSH!

The journalist quickly scrambled to get her microphone once she saw Mark leave, but before she could get it, the pilot suddenly grabbed hold of it and pulled it out of her reach. The journalist turned to the man in shock and asked him what he was doing! She had to continue the broadcast!

“You almost got us fucking killed! You don’t have a right to continue this broadcast. You, you’re a journalist too, aren’t you? Can you do the broadcast?”

The pilot turned to the cameraman as he asked the last question, and the cameraman blinked in shock as he tried to understand what was going on! The cameraman pointed to himself curiously, and the pilot nodded quickly and told him to hand him the camera.

“I heard from the crazy woman here that you want to be a journalist as well! I’d rather have you talking than hearing the voice of this crazy bitch in front of the camera! Come on!”

“O-Okay! I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”

The cameraman quickly handed the camera to the pilot and told him where to press to begin recording and how to move it before he took the microphone from the man. The female reporter at his side immediately shouted out in anger as she saw what was happening!

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing, Henry!? Give me that microphone!”

The cameraman flinched back from the woman as she shouted at him, and he almost caved right there and handed her back the microphone. The cameraman was used to always following her orders. She was his superior, and he had followed her around for a long time as a cameraman to try and learn a few tricks of the trade from her. But the cameraman looked at the pilot, and the pilot gave him a hard gaze that strengthened the resolve inside of him.

The cameraman immediately knew that if he gave the microphone up now, it would be the end of his dreams. He grit his teeth angrily and pulled back from the woman’s grip. The female reporter looked up at the cameraman in shock, and the cameraman gave her a defiant look before turning to the camera and speaking quickly!

[This is Henry Bolt reporting live from the scene of the anima attack! As you can see behind me, GHOST has returned to the fight, and he is currently engaging the anima once more! Luna is trying her best to create a wall out of ice, and I believe it is an effort to try and isolate the anima from the escaping civilians…]

…

Luna poured out even more mana as she tried her best to isolate the anima from the surroundings! The anima was still writhing in pain as it tried to stop the bleeding from its punctured eye and Luna noticed that the anima was rubbing its tentacles against its eyes and ignoring her.

Luna couldn’t let the opportunity to attack slip past! Luna stopped forming the wall, and she raised her hand into the air, and summoned a massive volume of water from the ocean.

The water traveled into the sky above the Eldritch, and it began to solidify into a long, sword-like shape that was fifty meters in length and ten meters wide! The structure was thin, and it had a sharpened edge that Luna wanted to use to pierce down on the Eldritch like a sword.

Luna’s power over water allowed her to control the water that was all around her. If Luna had been in an area that didn’t have water, then she would have been exerting a lot of stamina to create the liquid water from the molecules of water moisture in the air. But since Luna had all the water she could ever want around her right now, she didn’t have to sacrifice stamina in order to create the water from moisture. But even though she had that advantage, that did not mean that Luna could create water and ice structures indefinitely and control them with ease.

The issue with creating large constructs using your blessing is the fact that moving a construct created by mana requires the use of mana and stamina. This means that the larger a construct is, the harder it is for you to move that construct using your mana and stamina, and the more tired you will become after moving the construct. Moving a construct that was as large as a house would definitely be much harder than moving a construct that was only as large as a car. That is why, in that game of gods, Merlin always created large constructs that would be able to move on their own using only the force of gravity!

Merlin used boulders and asteroids to fight, but it was always done in a way that would allow gravity to aid him in moving the construct so that he could preserve mana and stamina.

That is why Luna decided to take a page out of Merlin’s book and allow gravity to aid her construct. Luna would be wasting a lot of mana to try and move a sword like this one, so once she was done creating it, she just released her hold on it and only guided it using her mana while allowing it to fall with gravity!

WOOSH!

[Luna! Behind you!]

Luna suddenly jolted as she heard Mark shout her name through the comms! Luna turned around sharply, and her eyes widened in shock as she saw a large mouth open right behind her! What the fuck!?
