The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

Chapter 224 - Nebraska (End)

[POV Reo]

Ah… isn't it glorious?? They have sent 8 fighter jets to attack me… good for them. It will be a good show. I closed my eyes and concentrated on the fighter jets… currently, they were quite far from my current position. I wanted to control one of the fighter jets to destroy the others using it but that won't be happening… after all, I don't have any hacking powers. I can only control the metals… yes, I could maneuver the jet according to my wishes but I won't be able to use the guns or the missiles. ??

So, I needed to destroy them in a simple manner… I sensed all the 8 jets were closing towards my direction and four smaller metal objects were launched in my direction… a gentle smile appeared on my face and I turned the missiles towards the fighter jets. It was clear that they were not expecting that and they were not able to react correctly… in the next second four explosions resounded throughout the air. The remaining four jets flew past by me…

I waved my hand and one of the jets crashed on a building below leaving only three jets. From my senses it was clear that they were getting away… they must have been ordered to return. After all, Eric is a famous meta-human in the world and a lot of governments know about his abilities… and as soon as I controlled those missiles they must have found out about my powers. Or the team I had allowed to escape might have reported back…

No matter how they found out, I cannot allow them to leave… with that thought I blasted off behind them at my maximum speed. This time I didn't care about anything else other than hunting down those three fighter jets. It didn't take me long to get them in my range. I didn't wait anymore and crushed the cockpit of one of the jets… the jet immediately lost power and started to descend. Two jets were left and I took control of one of the jets and crashed it with the last one. I stopped mid-air and turned around to return to the tallest building.

This time I landed slowly, after all, I didn't need to make an entrance. I have already left an impact on all of their minds. As soon as I returned to the roof I was able to feel vehicles coming in my direction. From their speed, it was clear that they have sent tanks but isn't that stupid?? After all, they just saw me laying waste to 8 fighter jets… and sending metal ducks after me is just stupid. Their best option was to bombard me from a distance.

I waved my hand and casted a tempus… the digits appeared in the air. Only thirty minutes have passed since I have appeared on the top of this building. Hah… with a sigh I started to move towards the edge of the building. I arrived at the edge and looked down. This would make it easy for the tanks to aim at me. Along with the tanks, there were several teams of foot soldiers too…

*boom* *boom* *boom* *boom*

Several booms were heard one after the other and tanks shot their shells in my direction. Color me impressed! I didn't think that they will commence an attack on me so quickly. I could clearly see the anticipation in the eyes of those foot soldiers… but unfortunately for them, they were destined to fail.

All the shells stopped right in front of me. I used my powers and started to morph them into lances pointed towards the tanks and the ground squads. All of them were currently watching me with gaping mouths… lightning erupted from my body charging the lances. I started to launch the lances towards the tanks… I didn't get to see the look of horror on their faces. As soon the lances started hitting it raised a giant dust cloud covering the whole street. But that didn't stop me and I continued to fire the railguns in their direction.

When the last lance was finally launched I decided to stop… from my senses I found out that other vehicles were leaving the area… I wasn't able to sense a single life sign within two blocks around me. It was quite clear that the army was quite successful in their evacuation plans. The dust cloud finally cleared and I looked at the devastated place… the whole street was razed into craters… only the remains of some tanks were left behind… not a single sign of those ground troops could be seen… it was clear that all of their remains have vaporized…

Since I didn't feel anything heading towards me I decided to sit down on the roof with my legs dangling outside. With my power, there won't be any surprise attack and even if they were able to attack me they won't be able to cause any harm to me. Seeing that nothing was happening I decided to lay down. I calmly laid in that manner for almost an hour and I have to say that I was very bored… looks, like the President, had decided to call off the attack.

Suddenly my senses picked up something and I immediately sat up. I felt 31 huge metal objects flying in my direction at high speed… it wasn't fighter jets because of their speed differences and they weren't helicopters too… whatever they were they weren't sent by the army. Ohhh… then it must be the Sentinels from the Trask Headquarters…

"Heh…!! At least I won't be bored any longer" I said to myself and stood up on the wall. The Sentinels finally appeared in my vision… thirty of them were the old model, the model we saw in Guantanamo Bay, and the last one was the prototype, the Sentinel M. But it won't be a challenge as all of them are made of metals… I don't know why they have sent these Sentinels. Hah… I raised my hand in their direction with the intention to crush them but suddenly stopped…

Well, why don't I test my physical capabilities… after all, I will never get this chance again. With that decision, I took flight in that direction at my max speed and punched the prototype sentinel. Yes… I am kind of disappointed now. I blew a hole in its head with my punch. The sentinel immediately lost its power and started to drop towards the ground. I turned my eyes towards the remaining Sentinels and gave them a dirty glare.

Well, now that I have confirmed that I have huge amounts of physical strength I must use something new. I side-stepped when 6 sentinels launched fire in my direction. I placed my palms together and started to concentrate my magnetokinesis power in between my palms. I have practiced this power only in closed environments before.

(A/N: For those who have skipped the HP Part, MC mastered this power in the HP World. I have clearly mentioned it there so please don't say that I am popping up a new power)

Slowly I moved my palms apart and I could feel a huge amount of magnetic power being compressed within my palms. This was the first time I was using this power in a fight… before now I never used it since I wasn't confident enough to control it in a fight and my body constitution also had something to do with it… after all, I was a human with superpowers in the previous worlds but in this world, I have become the Leviathan of Destruction.

Black lighting started to crackle from my palms, I was continuously dodging the attacks from the Sentinels too… that is why this was taking so much time. Even with my multiple thought processes, I wasn't able to concentrate enough. After a minute, a black ball finally formed between my palms. The black ball was so dark that it felt like it was absorbing the light from the surroundings. I pulled my palms apart and the ball started to grow in size… black lightning was still crackling around me.

The edges of the black ball started to turn golden… another golden ring appeared around the black ball and I could feel that the ball had started to pull everything around it. A huge grin appeared on my face and I looked towards the Sentinels… the grin turned completely evil and I allowed the black ball within my palms to slowly float towards the sentinels.

"Blackhole" I said and the ball slightly expanded and the pull increased by several folds. The Sentinels weren't able to hold back and started to get pulled into the black hole. Since I had made the black hole I was exempted from its force field. I felt that the ground and buildings were cracking because of the pull from the black hole. Soon, all the Sentinels were pulled into the black hole and I decided to collapse the black on itself. With that, the black hole finally disappeared…

I was so happy that I was able to successfully use that move… hehe… "Muhahaha" I was unable to hold back a round of evil laughter. I arrived at the room once more and sat down on the edge dangling my legs. I passed the remaining time while happily humming at myself… after all, I got to use another OP attack here.

I wasn't attacked anymore and I could feel that the city was mostly evacuated except the edges. I slowly floated up above the building and raised up both of my palms… the whole city started to shake, the whole city was ripped apart when I pulled metals from the whole city… the buildings weren't spared. The buildings crumbled into rubbles when I pulled out the metal beams from inside them. In a matter of seconds, I completely leveled a city. Hump… I snorted and pointed my palms towards the heaps of rubble…

"Fiendfyre" two humongous Leviathans made of fire erupted from my palms and engulfed the heaps. In a couple of minutes, the whole city was covered in the cursed flames… I gave another look at the burning city and teleported using my Law of Lightning…
