Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 815

Chapter 815: Battle Orders
Mark thanked Megumi and told her to prepare to leave Japan. She would get the details of the mission through the comms.

Megumi already had an idea of what Mark was planning to do.

He was trying to launch two simultaneous attacks to take out the two most dangerous enemies at the same time, and Megumi knew that this was probably the only way for them to handle the dangerous enemies, but she didn’t like the fact that Mark was going to be on his own.

Once Megumi was gone, Mark put his comms back on and spoke to Pat.

“Pat, I need you to connect me with every person on this frequency. I need to pass out an order.”

Pat was a little surprised by the sudden request, but he didn’t waste any time as he started to make the connection.

[Alright, boss. It’s up.]

Pat’s voice filtered through the comms and every person from the Vanguard guild was able to hear Mark’s voice coming through.

“Listen up everyone. There’s been a change in the plans. I’m sure you’ve all seen what happened in Germany, but that isn’t the only issue we have now. Patrick found out where the Syndicate base is, and if we want to take them down, then we’ll need to carry out a simultaneous attack on both Germany and the Syndicate base at the same time. I struck a deal with the leader of the anima that’ll allow me to fight without worrying about a sneak attack, but I need all of you to leave whatever you’re doing in your own countries and head for where Pat orders you to go.”

[What deal?]

It was Arit’s voice that suddenly cut through the comms and spoke up. Mark knew that Arit was also listening in and he already expected the worry that he could hear in her voice. Mark didn’t beat around the bush as he just told her exactly what sort of deal he struck.

Once Arit heard what the deal was, she immediately cried out in worry.

[You want to fight that thing alone!? You can’t trust them! It’s an anima! How are you sure it’ll even keep it’s word!]

Arit was immediately against the idea and she didn’t hesitate to voice her opinion. The mere thought of Mark striking a deal with an anima, and the animal keeping to the deal was something Arit couldn’t imagine. Anima were not to be trusted!

Mark knew that Arit had a point, but that was not going to stop Mark. This was a risky gamble, but it was the only one that would reduce the number of casualties in the battle the most. If Mark didn’t fight against the anima KING now, then he was only going to allow him to run rampant for longer before he would have to fight him later.

“This is the only way to make sure he doesn’t get in the way while you all deal with the Syndicate. I’m putting the lives of all the people in the world in your hands, so while I’m taking care of things in Germany, I want you all to erase the Syndicate once and for all. Pat, cut the call.”

Pat immediately turned off the frequency so that the others wouldn’t be able to hear everything that Mark was saying anymore, and Mark put another call out to Arit this time.

Arit was already flying towards where Mark was when the call came in, and she didn’t bother answering it as she landed on the ground in front of Mark with a scowl on her face.

“What are you thinking!? You want to go fight alone!? You always do this! You always go where I can’t follow and you leave me worrying and… and…”

Halfway through Arit’s shout, her voice reduced in intensity and she grabbed Mark by the shirt and put her hand on his chest while trying to hold back tears.

Arit also saw what the monster could do on the TV, and she had no idea how a fight between it and Mark would go. Arit just didn’t want Mark to go there alone. He needed someone to watch his back!

Mark put his hand on Arit’s head and stroked it gently before talking.

“I know it’s not a perfect plan, but it’s the only one I could come up with this quickly. If we try anything else, millions will die. Hey… Hey, look at me. Don’t cry, babe. I always come back. You said it yourself.”

Arit shook her head, and Mark felt some wetness on his chest from her tears.

“Please don’t go alone.”

Arit begged in a meek voice as she tightened her hand around Mark. Other superhumans around them were watching the scene with some confusion since they couldn’t understand what was happening, but they could all sense the emotional turmoil that Arit was going through and how much she wanted Mark to change his mind.

But Mark had already made up his mind.

“I already made the deal, Arit. I won’t change it now. This is the only chance we have to take care of the Syndicate. I know this plan will work, so stay here with Jeanne. She’ll need help with all the patients that might come from the fights. Hey, I need you to look at me. There’s the beautiful girl I fell in love with. How can you make crying look so pretty? Haha… Promise me you’ll take care of yourself, Arit.”

Mark leaned back a little so that he could see Arit’s crying face, and Arit used the back of her hand to clean her eyes desperately while nodding gently. Arit looked up at Mark lovingly before talking.

“I’ll stay and take care of everything, so you don’t need to worry. And I’ll be waiting for you, so come back quickly. I love you.”

Mark leaned down and kissed Arit gently.

The echoes of explosions and fighting occurring all around the city eclipsed the moment between the both of them, and Arit hugged Mark tightly once they separated.

Arit still didn’t want Mark to go fight alone, but this was the choice that Mark made, and he made it for the sake of the people he wanted to protect. No matter how unhappy she was about it, Arit would support him no matter what.

…

The announcement came late in the evening that same day.

The anima KING told the Syndicate about Mark’s proposal and he told them that he had already agreed to it.

Although the Syndicate and the other generals in the anima army were against it because they didn’t think that Mark would keep to his word, the anima KING was strict about his decision and he told them that no one was going to change his mind.

From the moment when the anima KING made the decision to fight against Mark, he ordered all the killing in Germany to stop. All the other humans who hadn’t been killed were taken into one city and put there as hostages.

There was mass confusion all around Germany as they wondered what was going on, and when one of the Syndicate members came and told them that the human KING had offered his own life in exchange for theirs, they were even more confused.

They had heard about the KING since he was the first person to kill an Armageddon, but they thought he was dead.

Who was the KING that traded his life for their own?
