It took a mere couple of days for Fletcher to assimilate all the newly acquired ability cores, and max all attributes.
Fortunately, Fletcher possessed an abundance of cores stashed away. With his ridiculous absorption speed and efficiency, he unknownly crossed a new threshold, or rather humanity had entered a new realm of power, far earlier than all the other races predicted, if beings from other dimensions were present, they would recognize the birth of the first warrior-tier being on earth.
“This power cursing through my veins, I fucking love it” Fletcher tensed his powerful muscles, he could sense he had entered a new threshold of strength, levels beyond what he had just a few days ago.

12th base Military headquarters
“Do they belong to you?” Admiral Mathias pointed at the screen and inquired his tone grave.
“…” Miss Carter, her expression somber, nodded in response.
“You have my condolences, it’s a very unfortunate…” Mathias began, but his words were cut short.
"They were just kids," Miss Carter interjected, her voice tinged with sorrow. "that’s Dylan in the middle, over-ambitious at times but he's a good leader, and that’s Emily the heart of the team, she could always make everyone laugh, Makoa, the gentle giant, fiercely protective of those he loved, and that’s Binna a kind-hearted girl, a little bit shy but never afraid to speak her mind” she recounted, her voice soft with remembrance.
“It’s a hard thing to deal with, the loss of your comrades” Admiral Mathias said solemnly.
“THEY WERE JUST KIDS” Miss Carter exclaimed, her grief turning to anger.
“I picked them personally, I made sure to pick each member carefully, I may have been harsh on them, but I wanted to prepare them as much as possible for this cruel world, but…they all just…” she trailed off, tears streaming down her cheeks.
A heavy silence hung in the air, broken only by Miss Carter's ragged breaths.
“Who is he?” she demanded, her voice now laced with a chilling edge.
With a solemn nod, Mathias handed her a file.
> Name : Fletcher Mccarther

> Age: Unknown

> Birth place : Unknown

“what the hell is this? There is nothing here, everything is sealed” Miss Carter said in confusion.
“A piece of work isn’t it? I have never seen a file with so many seals, even with my clearance, which is only a level below the president might I add, I couldn’t get anything” the admiral said plainly.
“So what the hell is he? A spy or something” Miss Carter inquired more.
“No it’s something a lot worse, I pulled a lot of strings to find this out, but I got one word, Basilisk” responded calmly while emphasizing the last word.
“Basilisk what’s that?” Miss Carter asked in more confusion than before.
“Basilisk was a highly secretive program that was shut down twenty years ago for unknown reasons, rumors say it was a place where they raised and trained highly skilled and dangerous individuals, and on top of that there were even allegations of unethical experimentations conducted on humans, from what I heard that place was a hell hole”
“Do you think he is a product of that place?” Miss Carter asked impatiently, it seemed the more she learned about Fletcher, the more questions she had.
“Most likely, otherwise there is no explanation for all the secrecy surrounding him” the admiral said confidently.
“so what are you going to do about him?” Miss Carter looked at the admiral with eyes full of anticipation and asked the question she was eager to hear the answer to the most.
“I don’t know for now, but a dangerous guy like him, can't be left unchecked, that’s why I want to catch him first, to see if he's on humanity's side” the admiral added in a firm voice.
“And if he’s not?” Miss Carter threw a questioning look and said.
“Our scientists are itching to dissect his corpse, uncovering the secrets that make him unique” the admiral responded ominously, his demeanor turning cold.
“I would like to offer Foster Labs help, I can send an elite team to aid in his capture” Miss Carter jumped at the opportunity after she confirmed the admiral's intentions aligned with hers.
“Sure why not, we are stretched a little thin at the moment, most of our elite awakened are fighting in the front lines, so we could use all the help we can get” The admiral welcomed the idea with open arms, after all, it was his intention from the very beginning to get additional forces, and get closer to Miss carter, the heir of the foster family, the owners of foster labs and the second largest organization of awakened.
***
A few days later.
In a conference room.
The admiral was standing in the middle of the room, surrounded by many elites awakened, some associated with the military and some from foster labs, and there were even a few independent awakened.
After briefing everyone on the target of their mission, and giving them the layout of the plan, the admiral said “This individual is highly dangerous, we estimate his danger level to be comparable to an abomination monster, so proceed carefully, and don’t try to engage the target, unless he turns hostile, after all, if we are lucky he might surrender himself peacefully”
The meeting ended with those words.
The awakened members tasked with capturing Fletcher split into three different groups, based on their abilities, the Attack, the control, and the support group.
The attack group consisted of high-damage dealers with combat-type abilities, close and long range, as for the control group, had an important role, which involved restricting the target’s movement using their unique abilities, which can affect a person or the environment around them, and lastly, the support group had mostly healers and amplifiers.
