Strongest Superhuman System

"I want him."

Fiona's eyes narrowed into slits once she heard that and her hand tightened into fists, but she didn't dare to say anything in response as she knew that it would be stupid to mention that Mark was currently a part of her guild. She knew what sort of person Gunter was, and it would not end well for her if he decided to force her to give Mark to him.

Mark wasn't even a permanent part of Fiona's guild. According to the deal they made before, Fiona was only going to retain Mark until he was no longer interested in staying in her guild, and then he could leave anytime he wanted. Fiona couldn't stop Mark from leaving if he really wanted to. All Fiona could do was hope that Mark would not leave her guild just yet.

Now that Mark was going to be a member of the SOVEREIGN, Fiona knew that it would be a great boost for the guild, so Fiona wanted to retain Mark for a little while longer.

Mark read through all the rewards from his system quickly before he waved them aside. He looked around him and saw the destruction that his fight had caused, and he couldn't help but be pleased with himself. Mark was currently sitting on top of the Alligator-headed anima that shot the laser beam at him.

There was a long pipe sticking through the alligator's head, and both its eyes had been gouged out and were dripping red blood.

Mark looked up at the spot where he knew Sasha was watching from, and he couldn't help but click his tongue in disappointment as he looked away.

"I really shouldn't have expected much."

...

Sasha's hands were shaking in anger. There was a line of blood falling from her chin as she bit her lower lip and she squeezed her palms into fists while watching Mark destroy the last calamity class that she summoned to defeat him. What the hell is this? Is this boy even human? I knew he was strong, but this was beyond what I thought he would be able to do!

The only people who should be able to do what he just did are the SOVEREIGNS themselves. Does that mean – Sasha bit down harder on her lip as she stopped herself from finishing that thought?

Sasha had many other calamity classes that she could summon right now to fight against Mark. They were all strong, and if it was an A rank or even an S rank, then they would have easily fallen to the calamity classes. But Sasha also knew exactly how that fight was going to go.

From what she just saw, Mark was barely putting any effort into fighting off these calamities. His mana is probably still very high, and he will only have to preserve it until Sasha herself runs out of mana. Sasha looked within herself and her heart thrummed in anxiousness as she felt how low her mana level was. She was down to less than half.

Sasha was just coming from a mission where she used a lot of energy, so she wasn't at her full strength when she began this test. But that was no excuse as far as Sasha was concerned. Mark was just a fledgling who shouldn't be pushing Sasha this far. This was fucking embarrassing!

Sasha never thought that she would need to go this far when testing Mark. Even when she was testing some of the other SOVEREIGNS, did they ever push her this far? Did they ever make her use up this many of her monsters? No, none of them ever pushed her this far.

"Sasha, I think it is best for us to end the test here. We've gotten enough data to be able to score Mark based on what he has done. If you can just –"

"Fuck it."

Alec turned to the side in shock as he heard Sasha curse, and he saw her eyes glowing as she gathered a large amount of mana around her.

Woosh!

"Sasha! What the hell are you doing!?"

Sasha didn't bother stopping as she put her hand on the ground beside her with a wide smile on her face.

"Let's see if he really has what it takes to be a SOVEREIGN! You think killing calamities is what makes you strong! You have no idea the monsters that exist out there in the real world! You don't know what it means to face off against death itself! To be stared down by an unfathomable creature!"

DOON!!

RUMBLE!

RUMBLE!

RUMBLE!

The ground under Mark began to shake, and Mark blinked in surprise as he saw a large shadow fall over his head. Mark looked up in shock, and his eyes widened as he saw an anima the size of a skyscraper falling right on top of him!

"What the fuck!?"

BOOM!

Mark barely managed to dodge and roll to the side as he avoided the impact! He took many giant leaps back, and he raised a hand up to clean a bead of sweat that he didn't even know had gathered on his forehead. There was a great tension that filled the entire region as Mark watched the anima closely, and his heart rate spiked as the anima slowly slithered to its feet and towered over Mark!

For the first time since the fight started, Mark hesitated.

It was a giant centipede that had hundreds of giant legs on each side of its body. Its mouth had two large pincers that opened and closed in intervals as it tried to get its own body under control. It rolled its body around like a snake while its legs slammed into the ground, breaking through concrete and grabbing a hold of everything around it to anchor itself in place.

The centipede was extremely imposing, but that was not what was making Mark hesitate. Mark could feel it. Just like everyone else in the ALTERWORLD, as well as those who were watching from the real world, could feel it. There was an aura that surrounded this monster. Something otherworldly that made it seem completely different from the monsters that Mark had been facing up to this point.

A purple outline of raw mana surrounded the monster, and even with his normal eyes, Mark could tell that this beast was no Calamity!

Luna stood up from her seat as she saw the large centipede, and she tightened her hands into fists as a wave of deep anger filled her heart at the moment! What the hell was Sasha thinking!? Sasha wants to use something like this to test Mark!?

Luna wanted to enter the ALTERWORLD and stop this nonsense, but there was nothing that she could do since Sasha was the only one who could open a gate to the ALTERWORLD.
