Strongest Superhuman System - Chapter 826

Chapter 826: The KING’s Resolve
That anima KING seemed to be sizing Mark up very differently. The anima KING was surprised by Mark’s age.

The anima KING had been amongst humans for a few months now and he recognized the hierarchy of power present in the human culture. The older ones rule and the younger ones follow. But the human KING, the man who was meant to be the ruler of all humans, seemed so young. It was a shame that someone so young was willing to throw his life away so easily.

Over the past few months, the anima KING had come to a realization of his own errors. He had misjudged his assessment of humans.

He still thought that humans were a blight upon the world and the very disease that had to be cured in order to make the world better, but he was not interested in erasing all humans anymore.

Not all humans were bad and not all humans deserved to be killed.

There were those who could serve as servants and food and here were those who could become entertainment and workers. That was the true nature of what humanity was supposed to be. That was their purpose. They were created to serve the anima.

The anima KING spoke up as he stood to his full height. In the darkness of the night, his green body rippled with muscles and his dark red eyes seemed to glare with ominous energy.

He had a humanoid body with two arms and legs, but there were no genitals on him and he didn’t bother to wear clothes like a human.

When he spoke, his voice rumbled through the area with power.

“I’ve been expecting you, human KING. Tell me, would you not consider my offer for a peace pact? It is in your own best interest to protect your people by giving them a chance to surrender.”

Mark tightened his gauntlet even more with glaring eyes. Mark wasn’t interested in listening to anything that the anima KING had to say, and the anima KING recognized this dismissal for what it was.

The tension in the area suddenly rose to abysmal levels as Mark’s mana surged forth from his body to match that of the anima KING!

DOON!

Mark did not have as much mana as the anima KING. His mana was only about half of what the anima KING had, but that did not mean that Mark’s aura was any less imposing!

Mark’s mana fought against the anima KING, pushing his mana back and making the KING’s eyes widen in slight shock for a moment just from the sheer intensity of the feeling! It was a very different experience to feel the power of the man claimed as your rival by the gods!

The anima KING couldn’t even hide his emotions as his mouth split into a mad grin and he took a step forward.

“Now, this is POWER!”

BOOM!

Mark shot off the ground before the anima KING could take another step and appeared right in front of him with his fist pulled back! The anima KING was shocked by the sudden movement and didn’t have time to put up a defense before he received a punch right to the chest!

[Divergent Fist]!!!

BOOM!

WOOSH!

A massive explosive wave echoed through the region as Mark’s hit slammed into the anima’s chest, throwing him back like a rocket! The anima KING flew across the city and tumbled around like a basketball! He slammed into the ground and skipped off it before slamming through more than three buildings! The anima KING finally grabbed a hold of himself and slammed his feet into the ground while using his hand to stop himself from moving back!

He looked up with a mad look on his face and his eyes widened again as he saw that Mark was right there!

[Divergent Fist]!!

BOOM!

Mark unleashed another divergent fist on the anima KING, but he was stunned when the anima KING managed to dodge this one, allowing Mark’s fist to slam into the ground where the KING had been.

Rumble~! Rumble~~! Rumble~!

The entire country shook as Mark’s punch dug a crater more than five hundred meters deep into the ground!

Mark caught a flash of green from his peripheral and he saw that it was the anima KING with his arm raised towards Mark’s head! Mark immediately realized what the anima KING was about to use and he spun himself into the air in a display of athleticism that was impossible for a regular human and thrust his hand up into the wrist of the anima KING!

In the next moment, the anima KING unleashed a blast of pure mana!

TWOOM!!

The mana shot across the city like a Gatling gun, tearing through hundreds of buildings and destroying everything in its path as it moved! Mark gritted his teeth in anger at the damage that had been done! If that had hit him, there was no way he would walk out of it without an injury!

The anima KING was stunned that Mark was able to redirect the blast, but he didn’t allow that to stop him and he grabbed Mark by the shirt and tossed him through the air with great force, making him break through hundreds of buildings in a flight through the city! The anima KING jumped after Mark and the both of them tore through the city in a flurry of mana attacks!

The anima KING continued trying to use his mana blast against Mark and Mark was fast enough and athletic enough to redirect it every time while using his own punches to disorient the anima KING!

Mark noticed that the anima KING was also physically powerful. There was some sort of shield over the entire skin of the anima KING that prevented Mark’s punches from getting through easily and Mark frowned as the anima KING started to tank Mark’s blows while returning blows of his own!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

The two powerhouses tore through the city like gods of destruction, tearing apart the great city in all their mad anger!

The anima KING did not have a good form and his punches were sloppy and untrained, but there was power behind them and Mark had to make sure to either block or tank the punches while unleashing his own punches to disorient the anima KING!

Mark blocked a punch from the anima KING and as the anima KING brought up its other hand to unleash a blast of mana, Mark thrust the back of his wrist into the KING’s wrist, making the blast of mana flash to the side away from Mark! Mark ducked under the anima KING’s guard and unleashed three consecutive [Divergent Fists]!! Into his side!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The anima KING staggered as he felt his body shake from the intense blows and Mark wasted no time as he jumped into the air and activated a new skill on the spot!

[Lightning Surge]!!

[Arcane Kick]!!

[The user has sent mana to his legs]!!

Mark felt mana surge towards his leg at a maddening pace, strengthening it and increasing its durability as lightning danced across the limb! And at that next moment, it impacted the side of the anima KING’s head!

BOOM!

The anima KING had been so distracted with trying to get his balance back after Mark’s intense blows that it wasn’t able to fully track Mark’s kick, but Mark was shocked when he saw the anima KING use something that Mark had just used a few minutes ago! The anima KING put its hand up in a sloppy block and allowed Mark’s kick to slam into its raised forearm!

The anima KING was blasted across the city by the kick! He slammed through more buildings on his way out, but he stopped himself as he slammed into his fifth building, slowly pulling himself out of the rubble like it hadn’t even done him any harm.
