Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 512

Chapter 512: The Creator
There was a bunker located on the other side of the city that should still have enough space for all of the people they rescued to fit in, but they still had to get through a large horde of anima before they could get there.

Turner put his hand up to his ear, and the commlink in his ear beeped.

“Tina! Tina, where the fuck are you!?”

“Shut the fuck up! I’m on my fucking way!”

Tina’s voice echoed to Turner from over the comms, and Turner looked up as he saw a massive bolt of lightning arch through the air from the side as it struck an anima in the distance!

BZZT~!

BOOM!

A loud explosion echoed through the area, and Turner turned to where the lightning came from to see Tina standing on top of a collapsed building with her lightning armor equipped and a blue sword in her hand. Tina looked at something that was coming toward them from the distance, and Turner could literally see her hand tighten around her sword desperately before she turned away.

Tina flashed down from the building and came towards the group that was running! She appeared beside Turner and joined them in moving forward.

“We have to go faster! There’s something—!”

ROARR~!

A large anima suddenly appeared from a broken-down house at the side and interrupted what Tina was about to say! It charged straight for them, and Tina jumped to action faster than anyone else could even follow! The anima was a large praying mantis-based calamity-class monster that had two large blades attached to its forearms! It roared at Tina in anger as she approached, but Tina paid no mind to its rage as she summoned lightning to her sword and slammed it against the blade in the monster’s forearm! The monster tried to push Tina back, but Tina made the lightning around her blade pulse and she roared as she forced more mana into the sword, making the lightning pierce through the praying mantis’ blade and tear one of them in half!

Shink!

Roar~!

The mantis roared in pain as it tried to slam Tina away! Tina landed behind the mantis and quickly charged for it before it could gain back its bearings! She ducked under the monster’s wild swing and stabbed her sword deep into the monster’s tough exoskeleton before shouting out!

“Celestial Fury!”

BZZZTTT~!

A massive bolt of lightning struck down from the sky and decimated the calamity-class in one shot! It traveled through Tina’s blade and into the mantis before cooking it from the inside out like a piece of meat! Tina drew her sword back and flicked away the blood on it before she turned to the group of superhumans that had been waiting for her while watching her decimate the anima in awe.

“What the fuck are you all waiting for!? We have to move!”

Tina shouted at them all as she turned around to watch something in the distance, and Turner ordered all of them to move again. Turner was also a little surprised at his sister’s current power level, just like the rest of the SA agents there. Turner always knew that Tina was strong. With how often Tina sought out strong opponents to fight, it would be impossible for her not to have grown a lot in that time. But Turner never thought that she would have already gotten this far ahead of him.

When Tina and Turner first got their powers, they were both B rank. Tina had the power to generate lightning and Turner had the power to manipulate atoms of matter. But unlike Turner, who took on the role of an agent in the Superhuman Alliance more seriously, Tina took on the role of a frontline fighter and decided that she wanted to be on the battlefield more. Tina grew faster and went far ahead of Turner, and now Tina was already an S rank while Turner was still in the middle levels of A rank even though they both had the same potential.

Most people would be disappointed in themselves or maybe even irritated by the fact that their twin went ahead of them like this, but Turner did not have any of those feelings. Instead, he was proud of Tina. He always knew that in a life-or-death battle, she was the sort of person who would make a difference for them, and now she was proving him right.

“Turner! Stop spacing out and fucking move! There’s a horde of anima coming from the lower district! They’ll be here any moment now! We have to get to that bunker before they get here!”

“WHAT!?”

Turner shouted in anger as he heard Tina say this! Is that what she has been looking at all this time!? She should have said something earlier! Turner turned around to try and see if he could get a good look at the monsters coming after them, and his eyes widened as he saw multiple buildings toppling over as more than ten anima raced down the street, chasing after a group of civilians and superhumans that were behind them! The fools were leading them straight this way!

“We won’t be able to get away! They’re moving too fast!”

They were still running even when Turner said this, but Tina didn’t bother stopping as she just increased her pace even more! The first rays of sunlight were already starting to filter into the city from the horizon, and Turner suddenly realized in shock that they had been out here for more than twelve hours since last night, fighting nonstop! Tina had been the main fighting force in this area as they tried their best to evacuate everyone, and Turner could tell that even though she was trying her best not to show it, she was fucking exhausted. He couldn’t ask her to do anything now. Not when she was the only one who could get the civilians to the bunker safely.

Turner steeled his resolve and turned to the man running beside him. He told him to grab Maria’s mother, and the man nodded and took the woman before he continued running. Turner did not say anything to anyone as he stopped, turned around, and started to run towards the horde of anima. He had to buy them some time. Tina was the only one who could get those people to the bunkers, so he couldn’t let her die here.

Turner’s power was a very versatile one, and although he did not use it a lot, almost every superhuman that knew of it was more than aware that it could have been one of the most useful powers in the hands of someone with a greater desire to become a frontline fighter. In fact, when they were ranking the superhumans four years ago online, those who knew of Tina and Turner’s powers ranked Turner higher than Tina simply because of what they knew his power could become.

Turner’s ability, The Creator, allowed Turner to manipulate atoms. That was it.

It was a simple description for a power that was not so simple. Everything in the world was made up of molecules, and the only thing that caused a difference in the appearance, feel, and state of matter of everything was the arrangement and makeup of the atoms in those molecules.
