At the same time that Disaster fell and began to grow, 11 others dropped down and among them was Time Tempest. The immense damage he had suffered was healed and he was even stronger with even more genetic changes.

His eyes burst open moments after the capsule broke and fresh air filled his lungs. His body connected to the time stream and instantly his body processed all the sedatives and his body turned in the air and stopped in the air and looked out and grinned.

He took a deep breath as he looked out and laughed loudly with a booming voice.

“I’m back and now I will destroy everything!” He shouted.

The next moment he heard an explosion. He was near the center zone a short distance from the academy itself and when he turned, he saw Chasm Might already only a short distance from up and punched out. He grinned as he didn’t even defend.

That said, a sense of dread appeared in the back of his mind only moments before the fist connected to his head and the next moment he was sent reeling like a ragdoll through the air and several buildings before finally crashing into the ground.

When he finally woke up from the shock, “What the fuck… since when has he had that much power.” He said and gritted his teeth in anger as the entire area around him suddenly turned into sand as everything aged in his anger and he burst out of the ground towards Chasm Might who was already advancing.

This time he was actually shocked because the man had touched him in full contact but his age had not randomly shifted and the next moment the two collided like two celestial bodies and caused an immense shockwave that blew out all the windows and burst into the air and split up.

At that exact moment, both of them witnessed a bright light shine from the suburban zone moments before a nuclear explosion level shockwave blast past them.

“What in bloody hell!” Time Tempest shouted and looked at the source.

At the distance they both saw the light as Disaster was literally compressed into the ground by an unstoppable like and Time Tempest saw the same world power stream pushing down at the light.

“That light! THAT IS THE LITTLE FUCKER THAT CRUSHED ME!” He roared.

Before he could react, Chasm Might’s foot was connecting to his face in his moment of distraction and sent him plummeting to the ground before he blasted off and connected with his body as he hit, driving the man that had been impossible to beat prior, into the ground.

“How did you grow so much!” He roared and both of them exploded into the air once more and finally split. Time Tempest was serious this time as he looked at Chasm Might, “And why are you not affected by my time powers.” He said.

Chasm Might grinned as his left fist glowed with the normal true Qi glow it always had but his right fist was covered by a scarlet aura while from his head, a faint white glow covered his body before the other two lights climbed his body and all three merged into a single aura. “I’ve figured out how to use the full potential of my body, mind and energy. With so much energy running through my body, your time stream can’t affect me like it used to, while my physical strength gets immensely amplified. I don’t need any help to kill you anymore.” He said.

Time Tempest looked at him and grinned, “Is that so, let me show you a little something than.” He said and with a nail, he ripped a large wound in his chest but instead of blood, the wound literally started to wiggle and fuse once more before the scar soon faded. “If you want to kill me, you will have to surpass my newly obtained cellular regeneration. If you can’t do more damage than my body can heal, you will eventually die once you are exhausted of energy.” He laughed.

“Yeah but unlike you, the others that appeared here likely don’t have enhanced regeneration so all i truly need to do is wait for one of those fuckers to die. Don’t think any of us sat on our asses since we kicked your ass.”

BOOM!

At that moment, they both saw Mephesto’s Avatar appear but in seconds that giant figure was condensed into his small frame and what followed was an explosion much like the one Robin caused.

Time Tempest frowned, “Let’s see if you can wait for backup. Once I finish beating you senseless, i won’t kill you, I will take your rotting carcass still alive for you to watch me kill that little fucker and then one by one we will deal with you fucking heros. After all, even if that brat crippled Disaster with another throw of that fucking rock, it will get up, it possesses the most advanced regeneration power in the world. It is the biggest cockroach that even nuclear bombs couldn’t kill off.” He laughed.

“One disaster paralyzed means one less danger for us.” He said and spoke nothing more as he rushed at him and gave him no more time to talk.

***

Where Mephesto stood, another supervillain looked at him grinning. The form that had taken him several minutes to achieve the year prior had been achieved in moments because of his demon essence and he looked many times more intimidating in the form of a human sized Asura.

The villain grinned as several red orbs surrounded him, these are orbs of compressed kinetic energy, basically any impact he takes his body was ejected into a controllable mass of energy which he can transform into any kind of energy. Of course, the man was a pyromaniac so more often than not he would make it explode.

“This is fun! Let’s see if you can blow my mind, your fucking brute!” he roared.

Mephesto looked at him and at the orbs and thought about the explosion he had felt moments prior and breathed deeply before his body began to change once more. The six blades, that were part of his condensed power, were thrown up into the air and the man frowned as he saw the three heads merge into his natural one and so did the arms while his massive form compressed even more into nearly fully human shape.

When he appeared, he was gray skinned and had many glowing marks through his body.

The swords all shined and merged into a single blade and it was a long sword as long as Mephesto himself.

“What is this?” The man said.

“Your power depends on you fighting brutes, you generate power by taking impacts, so I won't impact you.” Mephesto said and lowered his form, “I hope ‘he’ gave you super speed because if not, this is the last thing you will see.” he said as the markings shined brighter.

The next moment only a blink and a streak of light surged and appeared behind the supervillain.

He turned, “Wha…” before he could react to look, his turn sent his head spinning off his neck and dropped down.

Mephesto looked and scowled. He saw the grinning head and the man’s body turned and grabbed the head and put it on the stump and grabbed one of the energy orbs and shoved it into the wound. The neck turned red for a moment but it had never even bled out.

“Hehehe, it’s not exactly healing but you can’t kill me you fucker. Not without draining every last drop of energy in my body, in other words, unless I am frozen to absolute zero, I can't die!” He shouted.

Mephesto looked at him like he was an idiot and pointed out, “I don’t need to kill you, I just have to dismember you so that you can’t piece yourself up and you need extra energy to glue yourself up it seems.”

That giant sword swung as he started to focus but he suddenly felt danger and dodged a massive burst of light and flipped and looked at the culprit and found a woman standing there with a smile.

In her hand was an almost holy like light but she dressed like a succubus.

He landed and looked at both of them and after a moment he grinned, “I’m honored that you saw me as a bigger threat than Miss America, if that is the case then I will take this with all the seriousness that fighting two supervillains deserves.” He said and he released any restraint including an immensely demonic aura that covered him leaving only two glowing bloody red eyes which made the two frown.

“You’ve gotten much stronger but you possess the thing master most desires in this world and we will be taking you to him. I’ve even had my powers altered with samples secretly obtained of your own daughter to be able to have holy power of sufficient degree to be able to suppress you.” He said.

The glowing eyes narrowed even more at the mention of his own daughter and the immense feeling of danger instantly magnified. A cold laugh came from him, “I see, so even threatening my daughter is on the table.” he said before the two glowing eyes vanished.

***

Robin and Ruth were not kind in their literal predatory hunt. The incredibly scared braveman could barely react to the two of them. They could, at most, block one of them before the other appeared like a ghost and then they would savagely beat them before they were crippled.

In their right state of mind, neither Robin or Ruth would ever go this far, far from even having the thought of crippling them even crossing their mind, much less going through it but the memories that flooded into Ruth, and subsequently Robin, when it was all released was too much.

They were literally left an inch from death and just barely stabilized because of the gamer space. They would add one or two points in Constitution stat to make their health rise slightly and to seal the ripped limbs.

Four minutes after they started, they had dragged back the beaten bodies of the braveman and there were other Necromancers already moving the stagnated children who weren’t reacting to anything but in the short distance, the head of Disaster was already start to reform the muscles of the arm while the skeleton was already in form and he was releasing an immense amount of steam.

“Quickly! Get these children out! The other heroes are occupied by the other supervillains!” the teachers were shouting as they made hundreds of skeleton workers drag off the children but they were all running at human speeds.

Ruth was still glaring at the ten braveman barely holding back.

Robin was also filled with anger but he wasn’t totally possessed by anger like she was. He finally pulled her into a hug, “Breath, it’s over, they are caught and we can do more later, they aren’t getting away with this.” He said.

“Butt… butt!” she shouted as her anger finally spilled and she could no longer hold her tears as fear and anguish washed over her. She broke down completely at this point. It was really too much for a 16 year old to suddenly be flooded with 4 years of such cruel treatment. It was definitely a scary thing to discover.

Milo stood at the side and Robin looked at him and he nodded.

Robin watched the giant slowly rebuild himself while letting Ruth let go of years of anguish and as her sobs grew weaker, he felt her energy drain and when he checked, she had actually cried herself unconscious. Her mind must have shut down momentarily to protect her.

Robin lifted her up and handed her to Bargo next to Milo, “Take her to the academy, she’s been through more than anyone will ever want to go through, just like all of them.” Robin said and looked at the thousands of students being transported.

“What are you going to do?” Milo asked.

Robin looked at Disaster, “Keep that thing from finishing his restoration. I don’t need to die again with it in this shape, I will just try to maintain it.” He said.

“I’ll join you, death mana is the direct opposite to powerful regeneration and literally made to steal life force.” He said.

“You don’t have any undead strong enough. I’ve infused Chasm Might’s basic traits with the next level of my hardened rubber ability to get the power to do what I did while sacrificing a life and to be able to catch these braveman. Your power depends on your undead and they aren’t there yet, what you can do is help save people, the attack I did probably trapped people all around.” He said.

Milo frowned and nodded, “Fine, you still have four lives since we didn’t get training today but don’t think about recklessly wasting them.” Milo said and got on Scar and had Bargo put Ruth on and hold her so he could take her quickly.

As for Robin, he turned to find Heatwave standing there.

“Come on kid, we have to hold this thing off now.” He said.

“Yes sir.” Robin said.

Robin’s body began to glow as all three energies ran through his body in unison and he burst towards the beast. It was still half formed but it already had eyes and could barely turn and roar at him in a gargled manner before Robin arrived and punched the exposed neck that was just about to be covered by muscle but his fist reached it and as soon as it did, cracks filled the entire bone and exploded.

An amazing sight of the head completely falling to the ground appeared before them but it roared in anger and pain.

Robin jumped up off the body and in the air, Heatwave was flying with his own form of gravity control and on his arms was a large cannon barrel and it was sucking up both fire and sunlight leaving the area in twilight until it was full.

“Take this you fucking piece of shit!” He said fired.

All anyone saw was a flash before a massive sunlight explosion as literal solar plasma expanded and roasted the exposed flesh.

A very pained roar from the giant filled the area through the explosion’s shockwave.

When it appeared in their vision, they saw a large part of the flesh was seared and Robin frowned, “What kind of regeneration does this thing have?” Robin said.

“Disaster has been a recurring attack force vanguard. Even before this, it was impossible to kill and we’ve yet to be able to contain it. The most we can do is keep crippling it.” He said and looked at what was left of the braveman, “Usually we have a lot more braveman but it seems we need an even better cleaning and rework of the system at the core as well.” He said.

ROAR!

An enraged roar came as a new vertebrae was literally regrowing and the collapsed part was lifting into place.

“Does this have energy burn resistance?” He asked.

“The first time it appeared it already possessed resistance to most forms of energy damage. You can tell because even your new energy didn’t do like it did to Captain stretch on contact.” he said.

Robin nodded but that wouldn’t stop him from trying something new.

Robin made a channel of perception under the creature and surrounded him and alongside life essence he was channeling divine force when he pulled down.

BOOM!

Instantly, a visible distortion appeared as almost 10 meters of earth collapsed under unearthly levels of gravity and even Disaster roared in pain as gravity pulled it down.

“Wha!” Heatwave exclaimed. “How heavy is this gravity?! His own weight is starting to crush him!”

Robin was focused and began to think about how he could use this and checked how many ‘strings’ of psychic energy he could make and had four of them on each side, one on top and filled all the empty directions facing inward before he reversed the gravity from below and pushed gravity through all of them and this time it was really dangerous.

It was instantly being compressed by at least 10 different directions of extremely high intensity gravity.

“Is this the power of Divine power?!” Heatwave said.

“Don’t let up, keep shooting him to weaken him, his body is still healing while I am just containing him!” Robin shouted.

Heatwave grinned as he began to charge his cannon once more and when he was done he shot the energy and to their shock, it smashed and expanded like a sun and was actually contained inside the heavy gravity actually causing it to be even hotter because none of the power was escaping.

When the flame finally died, they saw the damage was immense, the heat pulse and the intense gravity had actually crushed the right arm and chest and the bones that were trying to reform kept getting compressed and crushed.

In this case they kept shooting and causing the giant to be unable to heal.

“God damn! Did they give him a new skeleton?! 10 years ago I heard that Chasm Might could crush his bones but I’m having trouble even burning part of it without the gravity enhancing the strength of my fire." He said as he started to charge another.

At the same time Robin huffed and stopped as he returned the core to his lower dantian and started to turn it. "I need a short time to recover my energy. That heavy gravity is really energy consuming.

Below, the body collapsed like a pile of meat and bone and started to move once again as it started to heal.

Heatwave looked down in wonder at how this giant of a monster had been reduced to such a pathetic state of being. Any record of previous invasions had this thing as the peak of destruction.

Robin focused as the world core began to speed up in his lower dantian while Heatwave charged up shot after shot to slow down the regeneration but also looking towards the fights of the other heroes, especially the most intense area from Mephesto and Miss America. Without much thought they could easily tell who was fighting the most dangerous ones.

Soon enough Moonlight appeared right after one of Heatwave’s cannon blasts.

“Wha! You got him down by yourself?!” She exclaimed.

“No way, the kid was the one to destroy him to this level, I’ve been mostly keeping him relatively stable but without the kid, I can't keep Disaster from healing more than I can destroy it.” Heatwave said.

Behind him, Robin was cross legged and his body was radiating a weak white glow.

“That glow is different.” She said.

“Yeah, he started producing what he calls as Divine Force, the first massive explosion was him sacrificing himself to get Disaster down. At the same time, he infused master’s traits fused with the next level hardened rubber traits he had found. Then he used a gravity control ability the core gave him to almost crush Disaster.” He said.

“Alright, I get the jist, let’s control this thing.” She said. Moments after, several other highly destructive executions beuro members arrived and they all began to attack in waves causing the monster to roar as its healing progress was not advancing a single moment. They even got the upper hand and everything except the hide and the bones were slowly being destroyed and even if the skeleton was standing back up, muscles were needed to move them.

After three minutes, Robin opened his eyes to see the condition and then at the other fights. “Can you guys control Disaster as he is?” He asked.

“Why?” The two teachers asked.

“The other heroes clearly need help. They have all grown much stronger because of the system but I’m sure they have mostly been equalled out, we need to effectively deal with at least one villain and free up a hero.” Robin said.

They all frowned and agreed but to send him into the most dangerous places in the city as such a bright star for the future.

“I know you are worried but this is what I’ve been training to do. Carrying the Hero’s Disciple class and seeing what people like Capt Stretch did to children makes me feel like I need to completely deal with this threat.” He said.

“Alright but try to stay hidden. Your gravity used psychic energy to direct it so stay out of visual range and communicate with the heroes through communicator.” Moonlight said.

Robin nodded and got information of where each hero was and the danger level.

Time Tempest was placed, surprisingly, in only the 5th most dangerous and Mephesto’s fight was actually the most dangerous.

Robin contacted Lola because he got worried now.

“I’m fine, we are joined up with the necromancers and I’m helping with rescues and not in the thick of it. The destruction is immense and thankfully we have recently produced a lot of super strength soldiers. Techno is probably having it the worst because he is fighting a supervillain while also controlling his Anti attack force at the eastern shores.” she said.

“Techno, got it.” Robin said as he looked at the giant robot that was clearly far more powerful than the one from a year prior.

Robin connected to Techno next, “I’m busy!” he shouted.

“I know, I’m here to help out. I’ve started producing Divine Force and I have extremely high powered gravity control from the world core. Although already injured, I was even able to crush Disaster’s entire skeleton when I combined the full pressure of the gravity alongside Heatwave’s Star mortar.” Robin explained.

“Huh! Disaster, you mean that living abomination! Crushed its bones?! You realize the bones have been one of the primary genetic advancements they have always done to that thing!” Techno exclaimed.

“I know what I saw.” Robin replied.

“Perfect, then trap this piece of shit to the ground and try to keep him there. His primary superpowers are Energy based immunity and transformation based. Similar to Blue Phoenix, this guy is a hybrid transformation of the Mythical White Tiger but it isn’t like Phoenix or the Azure Dragon because he is biologically engineered into this form and not naturally occurring.” Techno explained.

“Bulky and aggressive fighter, got it.” Robin replied and landed down and sat down while making the core spin to produce power and extending two streams of Psychic energy. One wrapped him below and the other from above.

The movement of that thing was fast and he somehow flew in the air with the brute power of his kicks against the air. When super strength reached absurd levels, logic started to warp and using shockwaves to fly is among the most basic forms of flight a skilled super strength hero can achieve.

Naturally they can’t just hover though and Robin had to enhance his perception and close his eyes to follow the movement after he locked on.

When he finally saw him turn mid air, he found a single moment where he stopped, “NOW!” Robin shouted and all the downward gravity smashed into the villain.

“URG!” he groaned.

Like being slapped by an almighty hand, he came and crashed down like a comet and couldn’t react even as rubble dropped on him.

Next Robin dropped gravity from above while pulling him down.

Techno did not wait a single moment as his robot transformed. High up in space, a satellite beam charged up and blasted an immense beam and the point of impact was Techno who’s machine transformed to receive it, focus this power and blast it down and that is what it did.

The beam literally cleaved a 30 meter hole centered around the crash site while Robin just focused downward gravity over the entire thing until the beam finally died.

Robin’s psychic perception stretched out into the hole and it extended nearly 150 meters into the ground, forming a black hole in the middle of the city. He had to check under rubble and tried to find the man.

“System, find him.” Robin eventually said.

Supervillain, Mad Tiger, has been confirmed killed, genetic traits of the fallen villain have also been successfully scanned so a similar genetic makeup can be designed.

“Don’t do that, especially not naturally, the man was clearly deranged because his power affected his mind.” Robin said and contacted Techno, “The gamer system has confirmed him dead.” Robin said.

“Thank god.” Techno said with a sigh, “Kid, go help Mephesto. He is currently fighting 2 supervillains with intent to take the bone fragment he carries. With Disaster completely contained by the execution bureau, he needs the most help.” Techno said.

“Understood.” he said.

I said and looked around and got directions, before quickly going to the most intense area.

In a literal disaster zone with raging lakes of magma that had formed because of the burning that was caused by Mephesto’s attacks and other areas turned to sand or ash because of the cruel holy attacks and an unholy blend of anything in between from the three. Robin approached but did not enter. Still in the distance he could see the streaks as two lights battled one of them.

“Mephesto, I’m here for back up.” Robin said and explained the new power.

“Good, get this mother fucker with the kinetic force immunity, the one that uses holy power is probably able to resist your power with holy power but this one shouldn’t.” He muttered quietly but loud enough for the communicator to catch.

Robin focused and through the even faster high speed fight and the intense power fluctuations all over, Robin finally locked onto the weaker of the two and much like the tiger, he waited carefully until he finally caught him when he had basically run low on energy and was about to punch himself.

The next moment he was like a high speed rock that face planted. It produced a very large bubble but the gravity was intense.

“What?!” The woman exclaimed only to dodge frantically as all of Mephesto’s focus turned to her.

“Is this guy immune to lava?” Robin asked.

“He turns all kinetic energy into those orbs but he can be cut, stabbed and even burned but as long as he has excess energy he can heal even from decapitation.” Mephesto explained.

Robin frowned at how disgustingly overpowered something like that is but the next moment, he ran a psychic stream through several lava lakes and pushed and suddenly raised several large waves that collapsed into the crater he had made with the intense gravity.

The giant ball that had formed instantly exploded to scatter all the lava and the man started to try and push himself up.

Robin was still curious and sent a single string and launched a concentrated blast of gravity.

BANG!

It instantly smashed and pierced into the guy making him drop. He was surprised by the reaction and so were the others to the point that they actually split.

“What is going on?! Why the hell are you bleeding?!” The woman said.

“I… I don’t know, something just pierced through my body and caused real damage.” He said, while holding the hole into his lower abdomen. He reached up and punched himself over the wound where the energy formed and was already covered.

Robin didn’t even think the next moment as several focused strands lined up to his head and he looked up at the woman, “Save me!” Before the barrage of compressed gravity waves smashed into his head destroying half his face in the process.

The next second Robin surrounded his body and they witnessed a gruesome show as his body was literally compressed into a bloody ball and dropped.

Mephesto narrowed his eyes and grinned as he looked at the woman, “You’re one decisive little monster.” he muttered to Robin.

Before anything else could be said, the woman tried to run only for her body to be slammed down. “NOO!” She shouted.

Mephesto did not give her the time, he appeared next to her and in moments her neck fell off. The gravity did affect him and he almost fell to his knees from the weight until it lightened off him but he could understand why neither of them could move.

He took a moment to sense for Robin’s intense life force and frowned because it was so much stronger. “Why is your life force so much stronger?” he said.

“I will explain later, I helped Techno and he has gone to focus on the landing attack force at the shores.” Robin said.

“I see.” He replied. “Do you know what other villains are about?” he asked.

“Chasm Might is holding off Time Tempest alone, Miss America is fighting someone marked as 2rd most dangerous or at least the situation in her surroundings is that dangerous but Sir Vincent is now the most dangerous situation. The Execution bureau has suppressed Disaster after I had crushed it at the cost of one life using the world core’s maximum weight and this gravity afterwards to wait for the arrival of backup.” He said.

“I get the picture now, go help another hero. You are the one element of unpredictability because they did not know what to account for. Also, I did not expect that gravity was that man’s weakness. Goes to show even someone with braveman level strength can kill heroes if they catch them in a moment of weakness with their kryptonite. Keep out of sight, also expect to be regarded as a support like most others and not a leading figure. If you did become the ‘reason we won’ you would most definitely become the main focus of ‘his’ hunt until you could fight on your own.” he said.

“I understand sir.” Robin said as he turned towards lower danger targets but Mephesto turned towards Time Tempest and blasted off with intent to finally finish this immense danger off for good.
