Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 45: The Island

"Go and bring me the KING. I don't care if you kill him or not. We do not need his consciousness. We only need his blessing to make the queen stronger. Bring him to me even if it costs you your life."

The ant-headed anima said this loudly, and every single anima in the tunnels could hear him as they all began to charge out from the tunnels!

"Yes, my lord."

Another ant-headed anima was standing at the side of the cave and it bowed respectfully to the leader as it left to do as it was ordered.

The anima leader was trying to use Mark to awaken his queen, and he wanted to feed Mark to his queen and give Mark's power to the queen.

Four years ago, every anima in the world felt the power of KING. They all knew how oppressive and invincible that power was, and it placed the fear of the unknown in them. Even after the power disappeared, they still knew that KING was a danger to them all! But that power disappeared for a long time after the fight against the anima and they all wondered when they would feel that power rise again.

But, after the system woke up again, the anima were shocked as they felt the power of KING for the second time.

This time, the power they felt was not as strong as the previous one that took down the Armageddon, but none of them could deny that this power was from KING. The ant-headed anima nurturing his queen realized that since KING was weaker now, he could prey on him and use his power to make his queen more powerful! That's why he sent the anima to attack Mark once they noticed that his system was awake.

They wanted Mark's blessing so that when the queen woke up, she would have KING's power, and would be stronger!

Even though the Anima didn't know exactly what Mark's power was, they were confident enough that once they had it, their queen would be the strongest Anima in existence!

...

The island off the coast of America was filled with the sound of helicopters landing on the shores. The two military helicopters landed, and the superhumans began to descend from them and prepare their weapons and powers as they looked into the dense forest in front of them!

They all knew that this would be a dangerous mission, and they all could die if they weren't careful, so the B ranks were going to be grouping themselves in groups of five or more, and the A ranks would pair up! There were two S ranks on the team, and both of them would be allowed to do whatever they wanted since they were strong enough to handle it!

Fiona, James, Tyler, and the two S ranks took the front as they would lead the other superhumans into battle. Fiona looked high into the sky, and she saw a hill on the horizon that looked like a good place to carry out the plan. Fiona was going to be acting as the bait in this mission.

From what they had seen on the map before, there were too many heat signatures on this island, and it would be bad if they allowed the Anima to attack them all at once! So, they were going to draw the Anima into the forest using Fiona's blessing and then allow the S and B ranks to attack the Anima from behind!

When Fiona is using her blessing, the Anima will remain drawn to her no matter what, so even if the other superhumans are attacking from behind, the Anima would not attack them in full force! At most, there will only be one or two monsters that attack at one time, and that would allow the other superhumans to gang up on them.

From what the research team told them, the Anima on this island was going to be mainly Disaster class, but they also knew that a single Disaster class could cause a lot of damage if it wasn't taken care of by at least five B ranks at the same time.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The ground under their feet began to shake, and the superhumans all knew that this was a result of the monsters charging for them! Fiona called on Tyler once she felt the tremor, and she told him to take them towards the hill in the distance! That would be a good place to start the attack since it was open on all sides, and the Anima wouldn't have a chance to attack them from the forest!

Tyler was more physically strong than Fiona, so he would be able to move much faster than her! He came and grabbed her before shooting into the forest at an insane speed! Fiona activated her power, and the entire force of Anima that were attacking seemed to shift as the blessing drew them towarrds her and Tylor!

Back at the beach, James gave out orders to the other people that were remaining. He told Archer to go and help Fiona. It would be good to have at least one S rank with them so he could get the other monsters off their back in case they get overwhelmed. And since Archer was good at fighting from a distance, he would be able to get rid of any monster that was trying to sneak up on Tyler or Fiona.

Archer nodded, and he gave a nod to Meta before he dashed away to go and meet up with Tyler and Fiona. James then separated the remaining hunters into two.

Seventy percent of them were going to go and fight against the monsters that were being drawn by Fiona, and the remaining thirty percent were coming with him underground. James didn't know what the monsters were doing on this island.

Even though they had done a lot of research into this island and the strange activities from the Anima, they didn't know anything about what they were really doing down there! The only thing that they knew was that the Anima would occasionally take fish and human meat into the underground tunnel!

James didn't know if they were storing it or if they were using it to feed something else, but he needed to find out.

The reason why Fiona was drawing so many monsters away was so that she would give them an opening to go and find out what the monsters were doing underground. James told the remaining thirty percent of the monsters that they would be with him, and they were going underground to go and see what the monsters were doing there.

"Does everybody have their recorders in place? Turn them on and begin transmission."

The research team gave every member of the attack team a recorder that they attached to their chests to send back videos of what was happening here to the research team. The research team planned to use the recordings to understand what the Anima were doing on this island.

But James also knew that they were doing it in case everyone on the subjugation team died, and they were unable to bring back anything. The research team would still have the recording either way. It was a cold act that seemed heartless, but that was just how dangerous this world was!

They had to be ready for any scenario that could occur on the island, including the possible death of every person there!
