Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 522

Chapter 522: An All-Encompassing Darkness
Mark didn’t even bother looking toward the percentage bar below the Full Body Constitution description. Mark knew that even though the chances were only ten percent, that didn’t mean he couldn’t use it properly. After all, Critical Hit was only at ten percent once upon a time and Mark was able to tweak it to his advantage and use it properly. Mark would figure something out so he could use this properly when he is in the middle of a fight.

After this, Mark continued to walk around the ALTERWORLD to try and find a way out. There were no specific landmarks or even magic portals anywhere in the area and Mark found himself getting slightly frustrated as he realized he had been walking for almost ten minutes now. Was he really not going to be able to find a way out of here on his own!?

Mark did this for about one more minute before he saw something glint in the distance like a gem. It was bright blue and Makr narrowed his eyes and activated [Achellies Heel] to see if it was a living thing. There was no reaction from the skill and Mark could only guess that it was something inanimate.

‘Maybe that’s the way out?’

Rumble~!

But suddenly, before Mark could think more about finding a way out, he felt the ground under his feet rumble loudly and begin to vibrate. Mark narrowed his eyes at it curiously as he took a few steps back. What the fuck was happening?

ROARR!

RORR!

SQUAWK!

A lot of loud roars and screeches from anima reached Mark’s ears from the distance and Mark looked up quickly, feeling his eyes widen as he saw every single anima left in the ALTERWORLD heading towards his location at insane speed!

But it wasn’t the anima that made Mark’s eyes widen—it was what was behind them! There was a deep all-encompassing darkness that was rapidly crawling over the landscape, covering everything in its miasmac aura and consuming them without warning! Mark had no idea what that thing was, and he had no intention of finding out! Mark immediately turned around and in one leap, soared through the sky!

BOOM!

Kevin’s tied body followed after Mark as Mark made his way towards the other end of the ALTERWORLD and towards the blue light he had seen and even Kevin felt a little nervous as he watched the massive darkness encroaching over everything! What the hell was that!?

They did not know that this darkness was the erasure that occurred immediately after Sasha was killed by Alpha Six. Sasha’s death meant that there was no more mana to maintain the ALTERWORLD, and now it was slowly erasing itself from existence!

BOOM!

Mark slammed into the ground more than two kilometers away, and he chanced a look behind him. His eyes narrowed in irritation once he saw that the darkness was catching up to him fast! It was moving a lot faster than before, and it was only about five hundred meters away! Fuck, just how fast is this shit moving?!

Mark immediately jumped through the air again, dragging Kevin along with him! Mark figured that something must’ve happened outside in the real world that was making the darkness eat the ALTERWORLD like this. But if the darkness was coming in this direction, doesn’t that mean he had been going in the wrong direction all this time? Instead of heading towards that area, he should have been moving in this direction instead!

It was a reach, but it was better than thinking that the darkness had already eaten the exit and he was cursed to keep moving until he inevitably got eaten by the darkness. That was not something Mark wanted to think about at all!

As Mark flew through the air, he felt something shaking from behind him, and he turned his head around to see that it was Kevin who was shaking desperately because the darkness was only a few meters behind them now. It had caught up so fast that it was about to eat Kevin. For a moment, just a single moment, Mark thought about letting it take Kevin. But then Mark decided that a punishment like that wouldn’t be enough, and he dragged the chain close to him so that the darkness wouldn’t take Kevin.

Mark grabbed Kevin by the end of the chain and held him like a bag as he crouched down.

[User has sent mana to his legs]

BOOM!

Mark suddenly blasted off the ground even faster than before! The speed was so insane that it even shocked Mark for a second! Mark had no idea that he could move this fast already. After the improvements that Mark made to his system, he could feel his magic flowing better and more freely, and his muscles were now able to withstand a lot more power than before! It was surreal!

When Mark moved, Kevin almost felt like puking his stomach out, and if not for the chain covering his mouth, he would have done just that! Kevin had never moved so fast in his life, so suddenly being pulled across the air at such speeds was enough to give him vertigo!

Shink!

Suddenly, the bright blue light that Mark had seen before glistened somewhere in the distance! Mark narrowed his eyes once he saw that light, trying to get a better look at it, and his eyes widened as he noticed that the light was a magic circle!

It was the same magic circle that Sasha used to drag people into the ALTERWORLD!

There were multiple anima running through the magic circle and disappearing to the other side, and Mark could only guess that this was the way out. Mark knew that it was a gamble to just waltz into a random magic circle, but right now, he didn’t have much of a choice. Either the magic circle would send him to the real world, or it would be some sort of trap set by Sasha. Either way, Mark was just going to deal with whatever was on the other side when he got there!

Mark chanced another look behind him to see how far away the darkness was, and he had to recoil his head as he almost kissed the darkness with how fucking close it was!

Mark turned back around, and his leg muscles bulged from the intensity as he blasted off the ground and towards the magic circle! The darkness kept up with Mark, not allowing him even a moment of rest, and it had almost taken Kevin’s legs when Mark flashed through the magic circle!

Immediately, the darkness traveled across the land and took everything into its abyss, erasing them from existence before returning to Atlas.

[In The Real World – At The Superhuman Alliance Military Base With General Raj]

“General, we just received a communication from the Air Force. They’ve identified a German aircraft coming in from the western airspace.”

A soldier spoke up from behind General Raj, and the general nodded as he kept his eyes glued to the screen in front of him that was showing the multiple battles going on around America. He told the soldiers to allow the aircraft through and give them a brief on where they were meant to go before sending them into the field to help out, and the soldier nodded and went on his way.

“You said there was a problem?”

General Raj spoke up, and a moment passed before Pat’s voice responded through the comms.
