Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 454 Testing The System

Pat did it.

After two months of research, experimentation, and spending more money than he had, he finally did it! Pat sat up in his chair and clicked a button on his keyboard, and the middle screen changed its color. The red hue that had been showing the population density of the area suddenly cleared out, and it was instead replaced with a white map that had various purple dots all around it.

This was an image cross-referenced from all the satellites that Pat owned. Pat bought five satellites using close to a billion dollars, so he was able to cover the entire landmass of America easily. The purple dots that were showing on the screen were what the system saw as people who possessed mana. Anybody or anything that didn't possess mana was showing up on the screen as a yellow dot.

The dots would sometimes blink out of existence before showing back up again, and Pat knew that this was only because the system wasn't finished integrating the new programming. It would stabilize after a few more minutes, and he would be able to see where all the mana spots were!

"System. Implement the relay that I asked you to finish up before. Use it to scan this area over in city A."

[Implementing. The relay is only 60% complete. Scans might show false or incomplete data.]

"Doesn't matter, just do it."

[Confirmed. Implementing. Implementation complete.]

The map on the screen suddenly zoomed in, and Pat got an aerial view of the top of the Red Lotus Hotel where Mark and Arit were staying. There were multiple purple lights all around the hotel, but Pat focused on the purple lights that were congregated in Mark's condo. There were three lights in the house. One of them was alone, and the other two were moving around the penthouse quickly.

Pat could only guess that those two were running about and playing.

Pat frowned as he clicked the button to reload the sensor and it still came back with only three lights. Pat remembered that his sister Jeanne was staying with Mark and Arit right now, so there should be four lights in the house.

Pat put a call through to Mark.

"Mark."

[Pat, what the hell? Where have you been? And what the fuck have you been doing?]

"Red for anima mana signatures and purple for human mana signatures. That's useful. Hey, did you implement the colors yourself?"

[Yes, I did. I felt it was more reasonable to have a color scheme for the different mana signatures that could be read.]

Pat hummed while nodding in appreciation and started to type away at his keyboard to check and make sure everything was really working well. Pat made the system to show not only the mana in a place but also the concentration of mana in that place.

That meant that as the system was tracking a person through their mana, Pat would be able to see just how much mana that person had by how dark the coloring was. A darker color showed that there was a higher concentration of mana, and a lighter color showed that there was a lower concentration.

The image of the Red Lotus hotel that Pat was looking at had two purple lights and one light that was a mixture of red and purple shining inside it. The two purple lights were the ones running around the house. One of the purple lights was very bright, and the other one shone with a dimmer glow. Pat figured that these two purple lights were from his sister and Talia.

Pat configured the system to take S-rank levels of mana as its midpoints. That meant that as the levels of mana dropped below S-rank, the light would get dimmer, and as it rose above S-rank, the lights would get brighter. That way, Pat could easily determine the strength of a being using their levels of mana.

Talia was an A-rank, but she had more mana than some S-ranks, so that bright light was most likely her and the other dim light was his sister. Pat scoffed in amusement.

"I wonder how Jeanne'll react if she finds out she has less mana than a child. Heh, weak sauce."

Pat then moved over to the other light which was a mixture of red and purple. That was most definitely his sister-in-law. Since Arit was a mixture of both human and anima mana, there was a high likelihood that this was her.

"But where the fuck is Mark?"

Mark said that he was in the building with the rest of them, but Pat couldn't find him in his scans. This was a big issue for Pat. Creating this system was for him to be able to find his allies easily in the middle of a mission and to warn them about where to go and how to get there. Not being able to see his most important ally was going to make this entire thing pointless!

Pat put out a call again, and Mark picked up on the second ring.

[Seriously, what the fuck are you doing?]
