Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 44: Good Meat

Arit scooted back and pressed her back against the wall in fear as she thought that there was something wrong! All the anima that were walking turned around and began to run out of the tunnel, but one of them didn't run away, instead, it walked up to her and began to reach down for her!

"NO! NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!"

Arit screamed at the top of her lungs as the anima grabbed her by her hand and began to pull her into the inner tunnel without caring about what she was screaming! Arit was taken through a lot of tunnels before she was finally dragged into an inner chamber that looked like a giant cave!

There was a giant pod lying in the middle of the room, and Arit could see that there was something moving inside that pod! It didn't have a specific shape but it shifted and churned around like it was solid matter, and Arit felt sick to her stomach as she saw it!

But that mass inside the pod wasn't the most dangerous thing here! Instead, Arit couldn't take her eyes off the humanoid-looking ant that was standing in front of the pod and petting it! The Anima was caressing the pod lovingly as it looked at the moving mass within the pod!

"Yes… yes. You are going to be very useful in luring the boy KING here. Very useful indeed. Like fresh bait on a hook; you will lure the fish towards us."

"!"

Arit almost had a heart attack right there as she heard the anima talking to her, and she took a step back in shock! The anima that was holding onto her hand dragged her forward, and she was forced down to her knees as he threw her to the ground. Arit wanted to say anything! Anything at all!

But she couldn't even talk as a massive pressure slammed down on her and made her begin sweating from the intensity! Arit has never felt as powerless as she did at that moment! She felt like she was just a bug and the anima in front of her was a human that was about to step on her!

But even though she was terrified, she still tried to keep her head calm as she looked up at the Ant-headed anima that was walking closer to her. The anima grabbed Arit's face and turned her head from side to side as if he were inspecting her quality.

"Good quality. Very good. This will not be a bad appearance for my queen to take. Now you must serve your purpose. Take her to the chamber and prepare her for the rebirth. The queen will soon be born."

The ant-headed anima said this, and Arit immediately understood what he was trying to do to her! He was trying to birth a new queen for the colony, and he was going to use her as food for the queen so that the queen could take on Arit's appearance.

Arit suddenly felt a jolt of fear pass through her as she imagined being used as food for something like that! She would be killed here, and there was no one that could help her! What was she going to do!? She couldn't fight back, and she couldn't even call for help since she didn't have any way to communicate with the outside world! Was she really going to die in this place like a chicken!?

And what was that thing that he was talking about!? He was trying to lure a boy here? The only boy that Arit could think of at that moment was Mark, and she immediately knew that Mark was the one that they were trying to lure! They wanted to use her as bait to lure Mark into this place!

Arit also noticed how they called Mark KING, but she didn't pay that any mind as she shouted at the anima in anger.

"You bastards! You can understand me, can't you? I promise you won't get away with this! Do you think Mark will let you get away with doing something like this!? You want to lure him here!? Do you know who he is!?

He's a Superhuman! Just let him come and get you! He'll tear you apart like the ant that you are! Just you wait!"

Arit knew that it would be useless to beg the Anima! They were creatures that enjoyed killing humans, and it would be foolish for her to think that the anima would start listening to her just because she begged them to! So, instead, Arit resorted to the only emotion that was left inside of her, and that was anger! She was angry at everything and everyone, and she just shouted at the top of her lungs!

She didn't care anymore if she died or if she was saved! She just wanted to hurt something!

"Just die! Die, you idiot! Die!!"

The anima was stunned as he watched Arit shouting at him at the top of her lungs, and a creepy smile slowly spread across its face! Arit recoiled in disgust from the look that he gave her, and she had to look away just to get that look out of her sight! Seeing an ant smile has to be the most terrifying thing that she has ever seen!

The anima was happy because of how feisty Arit was! This one would definitely be a good addition to the queen. The queen would come out with a strong, feisty personality once she feeds on this one! And once the queen gets the power from that boy, then there is nothing that can stop them anymore! They would bring forth a new Armageddon and take over this world before anyone could stop them!

"Take her to the chamber and prepare her. This one… is good meat."

The ant-headed anima said this to the fish-headed anima that brought Arit to the cave, and the fish-headed Anima nodded and grabbed Arit by the arm once more.

"LET GO OF ME, YOU BASTARD! I SAID LET GO! MARK WILL KILL ALL OF YOU! HE'LL KILL YOU!!"

Arit was relentless in her anger, but she couldn't do anything as the fish-headed anima dragged her to the chamber and threw her against the wall of the room!

Bam!

Arit's back slammed against the wall, and she groaned in pain as she saw the anima opening what looked like a pod! It grabbed her and tossed her inside the pod, and even though Arit fought with all her strength, there was nothing she could do as she was trapped inside the pod and it slowly began to fill up with a strange liquid!

Goop! Goop!

"Hey! S-Stop this! What the hell is this!? It's going to kill me! Let me out! Please, let me out!"

Slam! Slam! Slam!

Arit slammed her hand against the pod over and over again, but no matter how much she hit it, there was nothing she could do as the strange liquid filled the tank and completely engulfed her! It only took a few seconds before Arit could no longer move, and her body went still in the pod.
