Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 496 : The Alphas

The man protecting the president watched—wide-eyed—as the newcomer easily dispatched the wolf. The final shot the man fired into the wolves didn't contain any bullets at all. The man could barely see it, but he knew for sure that what came out of that bullet was pure mana. Once he saw that, he knew what the gun was.

It had been created by a scientist a year ago, and tested using some of the superhumans in the army, but it was banned after they realized that it took up too much mana for each attack. Every time it was fired, the wielder would lose about a hundred points of mana. Even for a Sovereign, that was far too much mana to lose for only one attack, so it was scrapped.

'Why are these newcomers using it like it's nothing?'

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The man turned to the side as he saw the woman had already taken care of many of the monsters that were still alive after the initial attack. She fired three bullets into the bodies of three large monsters, and they all fell to the ground as they died. Once that was finished, the two newcomers turned towards the guard and the president.

The guard was immediately on edge as he eyed the newcomers cautiously. He knew they just saved him, but there was a very real chance they only saved them so they could take the president for themselves. They could be mercenaries working for some terrorist organization for all he knew.

The male newcomer walked up to them and gave a standard military salute, along with the woman behind him.

"Madam President, Director Henry Ford has instructed us to transport you to a new safe house in City S. Please come with us."

Marilyn blinked once she heard the name of the director. She touched the man protecting her on the shoulder, and he turned around and gave her a nod. Marilyn then spoke to the two newcomers.

"W-Who are you?"

Director Ford's voice echoed from the other side of the phone, and Alpha Ten answered respectfully.

"Yes, sir. The president is safe. We are en route to City S." Discover exclusive tales on empire

[Good. Ensure you stay close to her throughout this incident. Make sure she knows exactly who it was that protected her from the monsters. And try not to do anything that will paint the Alphas in a bad light.]

"Yes, sir."

The phone clicked off, and the woman ran out of the building to meet up with the helicopter.

Alpha Ten and Alpha Seven had actually arrived at this location earlier than this, but they had been waiting outside the building for some time for the perfect moment so that they would be able to save the president right when she needed them most. All of this was a plan by Director Ford that he implemented the second he realized the country was under attack.

Normally, Director Ford's experiments on superhumans would be frowned upon by the entire country, and if he were to bring them forward and tell the public they would be a part of the armed forces, he knew they would face a lot of backlash. But now that the Alphas were the ones who 'rescued' the president, it would be far easier to paint them as heroes.

And since the Alphas were also going around the country to save people, getting them into the system and integrating them into the military would not be as difficult as it was meant to be, because Director Ford knew very well just how easily people would accept someone that saves their life.

[The ALTERWORLD]

Mark and Gunter were flying through the sky at an insane speed! They were both heading toward a different part of the ALTERWORLD, and Mark was keeping an eye on Gunter to make sure he didn't try to attack him while they were in the sky. After leaving Kevin behind in the volcanic region of the ALTERWORLD, the two of them flew into an area that looked like a ruined city.

It was very similar to the part of the ALTERWORLD where Mark did his assessment when he went to the Superhumans Alliance building before, but Mark didn't really have time to pay attention to that since he was busy trying his best to beat the shit out of Gunter.

Since they were both fighting without any distractions, it was easy for Mark to focus entirely on Gunter, and Mark began to unleash consecutive critical hits on him to try and take him down as quickly as possible!
