Over the clear skies of the Atlantic Ocean there was barely even any wind when, in the sky, a burst of electricity seemed to come from out of nowhere before something started to focus and crack the sky itself until a swirling mass broke out and expanded the opening.
With the first one came several others in the surrounding area before they fused into one massive gateway.
In the oceans, tiny fish like robot's with scales that made them virtually invisible suddenly picked up the disturbance and began to gather towards the massive fluctuations and fuse into a more complex machine and began to project what it was picking up as it became a swarm.
On the American continent, Techno was working when powerful alarms began to blare and he stopped before his hands moved almost five times faster and images appeared.
He looked and frowned as he saw the giant warp portal and from the front was a huge ship that was coming through while waves of smaller ones were already coming through.
Techno instantly pressed the emergency alert.
Throughout the entire eastern coastline, an alarm began to blare.
“Red alert, Red alert. The Oceania attack force has been spotted off the east coast. I repeat, oceania attack force has been spotted off the east coast. All civilians are advised to leave from major metropolitan zones. Underground evacuation roads are being opened along all highways, please avoid panic and proceed with an orderly evacuation!” the alert roared.
Many people began to panic, especially in huge cities like New York, which had many kilometers to leave the urban center but a massive number of Techno’s robot's began to appear all over the eastern coast to start the process to quickly empty out the coastline until it was safer.
At the same time he began to activate the defense systems and along the shores they started to appear forming massive cannons that began to draw energy to fire.
After five minutes, the attack force was already filling the skies after their first mothership appeared and they released a huge volley.
The fighters avoided the attack but a large number were aimed at the huge ships and smashed into them but to Techno’s shock, powerful energy shields became visible over them.
“These last 10 years they sure have improved their defensive tech.” He said and switched the setting and World power began to infuse into the energy as well and sent off a new volley.
All the passengers of the ships felt the rocking this time and the lead general frowned, “Techno is such a pain in the ass. Return fire! Also when we get close enough, fire the payload towards Richmond!” the general shouted.
Soon, weapons appeared on the ships and the fighters advanced with missiles and as one they released attacks towards the defense systems which, themselves, had energy shields and the intensity of the attack kept growing as they neared.
Both sides were irritated because Techno could not stop them.
Once they were roughly 20 km from the defensive line, suddenly the ships opened large missile silos and began to release them in massive numbers.
“Long range Missile defense system activated!” Techno shouted.
On land, his land to air defense systems began to appear and target all the missiles coming out before releasing a massive volley of missiles to blow them up.
He watched as they climbed up.
“Volley impact confirmed.” the assistant AI said.
He still watched to make sure none of them survived and to his shock, twelve of them came out of the smoke and suddenly their shell broke and extended into a much faster rocket that blasted towards land.
“What is that!” Techno exclaimed and tried to lock on but every defense system that would target would suddenly find interference.
Warning! Warning! 12 Hero level threats located.
At once the faces of twelve people appeared not just in front of Techno but every hero present in the gamer space and as they looked, they all turned pale.
“Twelve.” they all said.
They looked and scowled as Techno instantly called them up, “This is serious! Their capsules are programmed with an extremely strong jamming tech! I can’t shoot them down and they're all targeting Richmond!”
They all scowled because they were right but the reaction was even more intense.
“Can we get any help from other continents?!” Chasm Might asked.
“I’m sure they will instantly be on alert if there is such a major attack on us.” Techno said.
With a scowl they all nodded, “Call all Braveman and have as many that can arrive quickly head for Richmond immediately!” Chasm Might shouted.
The alarm throughout Richmond changed instantly, “All braveman, be on highest level alert! I repeat! Highest level alert has been initiated. All civilians are to report to the bunkers effective immediately! 12 hero level threats are inbound to Richmond!”
Everyone in the city heard that and an instant panic filled the place before a huge number of bunkers burst from the ground.
At the hero academy Chasm Might was scowling, “Everyone hassen up!” Chasm Might roared at the students that were scrambling to get dressed in their equipment.
“Sir, is everyone going to fight?!” Marcus asked.
“No, you students are supported, get that in your heads, the threat is 12 hero level supervillains! No one is fighting anything! You are to focus on helping the civilians get to safety.” He ordered and very soon everyone began to leave and rush in the city.
The civilian class was made to go into the bunker though because although they have had traits added, they were not nearly as strong as the heroics class. Traits can do a lot but they are still a full year of training behind the heroics classes.
Robin flew low and because there was a lot of chaotic air traffic and spotting something particularly panicked, he sped up and sprung himself and grabbed on. “Stop this vehicle!” He roared. The man at the wheel was pale and running but seeing him about to put others' lives for his own Robin jumped up while holding the hull and pulled himself and pierced through with next to no effort.
“What!” The man shouted before Robin appeared and grabbed him at the neck, “Slow down right now!” He said in a dangerous tone.
The man turned ghost white and pulled the throttle lever. “Good. If you don’t want to go to jail for reckless endangerment you will slow down and land and proceed to the bunkers. There is still time before any of the major threats arrive.” He said.
“No! I have to leave!” he said.
“Fine if that is how you want it.” Robin said and let him go before jumping out and surrounding the craft with his psychic energy increasing his own gravity before projecting a pulling force.
The man floored the throttle but unlike he expected, the craft was pulled down by Robin and when he forced it to the ground, he approached and literally ripped the pulsars and then ripped the man out the vehicle. “Now get moving before I take you to the military myself!” Robin shouted and took the air and shouted to the public to proceed to the nearest bunkers where they will be transported to a very safe distance underground and moved away from the city from underground.
All over there were many similar incidents and others were dealt with far less elegantly.
After a while, Robin had left the central and reached suburban zones when he noticed the movement of Captain Stretch’s men as well as a large number of their older students.
Robin flew over and landed, “Spring.” He said as he saw the familiar and more friendly man.
“Oh Bullet.” He said but he was serious. “Why are you here?” he asked.
“Why? Obviously we are spreading to get people into the bunkers.” He said.
“Oh right.” Springs said.
Robin felt something strange with how he said that and looked around. The students following them were serious but quiet however they weren’t spreading out to support. “Why is everyone bunched up instead of all over helping guide the civilians.” He said.
“We are preparing for the fight against a supervillain.” he said.
“Fight?! Are you joking?! These are students.” He said.
“Yes and support is always important for braveman fighting a more dangerous foe.” He said.
Robin didn’t feel good about it but something in the back of his mind was making him concerned. That was when he felt something strange in his connection with Ruth, it was like the connection weakened, although distance played a big part but unless they were separated by more than 100 kilometers, the link would not weaken so much. He infused Psychic energy into the link and tried to strengthen it and found the direction it was coming from.
“Something wrong?” Beat springer asked.
“I think it's my sister. I just have a strange feeling.” He said.
The next moment, a very dangerous feeling filled him and Robin ducked before a high powered fist with spiked knuckles came at him.
He had just a moment to look and see one of the braveman looking down at him before two other appeared on the sides.
His heart instantly inflated twice as much and pumped harder and his perception accelerated instantly.
He didn’t even think he just acted, his fist aimed at the incoming legs and unloaded while his throat rapidly spun and launched it, slamming up into his first attacker and smashed their heads.
The three recoiled back and the gravity of the air suddenly barreled down causing anyone in the air already mid attack to slam down.
Robin turned and blasted off as he used his internal gravity control to counter the external one and get some space from all those that were momentarily stunned and glared down at them.
“What is the meaning of this?” He said.
“Your reflexes are good.” Captain stretch said as he fixed his posture in the heavy gravity. “Is this the power of that inheritance ability? Gravity manipulation is it? This is very dangerous since it can even limit a braveman’s speed.”
Robin looked at all the people and the cold faced children and then turned towards the signal of his sister that he felt approaching. It was still strange however and he knew something happened.
“Don’t tell me you are working for them.” He said.
Captain Stretch looked at him, “I hate that we couldn’t have gotten you as well but I hope you can survive to keep your sister from us.” He said.
The next second, Beat Springs burst forward with doubled the speed he had ever shown on TV or in action during internship.
That said, Robin’s perception and vision were in full effect and as the punch launched, he ducked and punched up and slammed it into spring’s chest.
He turned and burst towards him and moved the core to his hand. “Is this what you are doing! TRAFFICKING STUDENTS!” he roared, punched while forcing the gravity forward.
BANG!
“AHH!” like a massively heavy truck smashing him, the power of his achievement “Supervillain Crusher” actually took effect. Instead of his fist slowing down, by punching with the weight of the world core, it actually sped up.
Beat Springs was launched like a bullet into the air and Robin grabbed his leg as he flew freely and smashed him down while drastically increasing his gravity and slammed it down causing immense destruction.
“Urg.” He groaned as he got up, “Your power is… intense but everyone here has blunt force immunity just like you.” He said, coughing as he got up under the heavy gravity.
You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.
The strong men and bravemen were all standing and at that moment he felt danger and dodged only to find Ruth’s arm extending.
He flew away as she approached and got ready to fight but her face was blank.
“Hehe, do you like it kid? It’s the result of her entire middle school career being hypnotized along with a surgical implant to help reinforce it. There is no escaping us now.” Captain Stretch said.
Robin looked at his sister and his psychic energy rushed into the connection and forcefully opened the strangely closed link and flooded her side. What appeared however was a strange creature, “So this is the cause. A psychic parasite.” He said and gathered psychic energy in his mental view and stabbed. The stab penetrated through entirely causing it to roar and to attack but his mental defense was immensely stronger.
After several cuts and stabs, the mind or soul finally couldn’t handle it and broke down and he traced it back into her body where he saw a grotesque mass in his sister’s brain. It was already starting to wilt.
That said there was a lot of trouble in her brain because of it and he even felt something going on with her vitality.
“System, let me see her stats.” Robin said. All of this was happening in his accelerated perception within the confines of their mind. His mind was several times stronger than his sisters and in accelerated perception within this space of their minds, it was just that much faster.
He could see that once this thing had activated it had actually hurt her vitality but it was displayed in her health being barely 50%.
He snorted, “Use her stats to raise her Wisdom to 500 and kill this parasite and get rid of it from her brain. Then add 50 vitality to restore her health.” He said.
When he finally pulled back out the gamer space instantly took effect and everyone looked in shock as the nodes of light gathered and filled the girl for a moment before she appeared and groaned and shook her head. “Huh? What…” She muttered and looked around but instantly her eyes saw red because all her mental limiters were off.
A world of red filled the connection. Memories that even Robin had not seen before flooded in.
He saw her entrance into the academy when she had just been accepted and the shock when she was chained to a surgical table with her limbs and body stretched to the max so she could not move and the initial parasite egg implanted, all the hypnotizing sessions that only stopped once she was pulled out for the academy. Also the usage of the gamer space system had caused remote control that didn’t involve full mental takeover to be damaged meaning she couldn’t act as an unconscious mole. The same for all the elastic students but she was the most important since she was the strongest among them.
When he snapped out of it, his face morphed into one of immense anger and it caused his blood to literally boil in rage as he huffed steam, “You fucking pieces of shit!” He roared as the gravity of the world slammed down on everyone.
The anger of the twins began to make the hearts of all the braveman beat faster and they saw a distorted space around them from the sheer force that all of their internal energy was flowing.
Ruth also began to activate her enhanced blood pumping style, “None of you are getting out alive!” She hissed.
“Cocky little bitch!” one of the braveman shouted just as she burst forward.
He extended to catch her but the next moment, Robin’s leg was already approaching his face connected, causing his face to bend unnaturally and slingshot his head back while Ruth dodged the arms and channeled all three energies and as the head shot back, it reached her claws that shot out with the spring style and pierced into his head and cleaved half his face out.
“AHH!” Ruth roared in anger.
That said, at that moment, they all heard an explosion and everyone looked and saw twelve rockets crashing down and the one closest to them exploded in the air and released a body that was free falling.
That said, half way down he opened his eyes and instantly every living creature felt an intense feeling of danger as it roared and immediately expanded by massive proportions forming spikes, fur, claws and fangs and kept expanding until it was nearly 80 meters tall.
“ROAR!”
“That…” they all trembled and Robin’s mind worked immensely quick. Among the classes they got besides physical training, one of them taught about Oceania’s most dangerous individuals. “That’s Disaster, the mindless giant.”
“Heh, seems he is serious. He is going to make the American union pay. Look kid, this is the kind of strength that ‘he’ controls. The Heroes born 80 years ago are getting old and weak, that man sent 12 hero level threats so casually but the Union barely has 10 old pieces of shit. I should tell you that Time Tempest is among these. We were told to take these children to safety and ship them off, they will be the next batch of test subjects that will become villains of great power under his command.” Captain Stretch said.
Robin looked at him coldly, “It’s good I saw through your hypocritical ass so many years ago.” Robin said and looked at the giant. “Ruth…” Robin said.
His enraged sister was glaring at them and nodded. They waved their hands and the trait shop appeared, a list of traits already present were there and it was Chasm Might’s traits that had been fused with the next level of traits for enhancing their own. It would change the calculation of their traits.
They both unhesitantly accepted them in 2 waves and Robin groaned as the world core returned to his lower dantian and began to turn and produce Divine power.
Calculating new stats with common calculation.

Ruth did the same thing with her own stats and instantly her power increased by the same proportion, putting her on the same level as these braveman. “I’ll take a moment to get back, can you hold them off?” Robin asked.
Ruth snarled at the men, “You had best return quickly unless you want to find only corpses.” She said.
He nodded before bending low and his springs compressed intensely and he shot up into the sky like a rocket and split what clouds got in his way.
The gravity instantly let go and the men stood up and looked at Ruth, “How did it come undone! Even if you somehow improved your brain enough, the parasite should have regrown and gained control!” Captain Stretch said.
“That parasite has a soul and me and Robin have Twin Telepathy, that fucking bug got in the way of it.” She said moments before they heard her heart beating like a loud drum and huffed steam, “None of you are getting out of here.” She said.
“Stop us then.” They said and all of the ground exploded as they all rushed forward with full force.
In the air, Robin was slowly glowing and feeling his body fill up with divine force. Any little bit would leak into his body and his body slowly glowed more.
Explosions erupted out all over, around him and filled the space. He looked at Richmond from high above and saw areas that had become barren from the hero’s battles and in the distance he saw Techno in a giant mech suit releasing beams.
Sadly there were two who were loose and Robin looked down at one of them that looked to have a body so hard that it could handle the meteor that killed the dinosaurs falling on him. That said, Robin was going to aim for heavier.
“Fight with my all, against all odds, never backing down.” He said and shouted as a white aura began to glow and entered the flow alongside his Psychic energy and Life essence, it was his Divine force filling his body and each cell in his body absorbing these wisps and finally he shot down towards Disaster. Like a meteor he came crashing down as he focused the power of the core into his hand where it teleported.
The giant creature looked up and roared before jumping at it to punch to destroy it and Robin matched it but forced the world core to its maximum weight.
As soon as the two fists connected, the divine force running through his body rippled much like the time the titan force around the core did against Time Tempest.
System will now channel world power into the world core host.
At once a massive amount of energy rushed into Robin and rippled down and pushed the uprising ripples down until finally returned to his hand and instantly the mindless giant was pushed down. As soon as he touched down, it was like an explosion, everything within 500 meters of them was instantly turned to rubble and the shockwave exploded like a nuclear bomb ripping through the landscape.
Disaster’s arm bones broke and Robin eventually reached his head as it roared. Even with a broken arm he tried to push but it did nothing and once it hit his head, his body then began to collapse like a collapsing telescope.
Each crack would send a new shockwave into the ground forming a creator under the giant and only when the legs broke down did the shockwave finally stop.
When the white glow surrounding Robin faded, within the mass of blood and bone, his body was completely charred and gray. Slowly ashes fell off and his body broke down before it burned away.
At the Hero’s academy ashes and flames gathered and restored Robin to his full healthy self but his eyes shot open and he didn’t even wait as he exploded into the air and shot towards Ruth.
That said, he contacted Techno on the way, “Techno, be on guard against braveman trying to force their students into the bunkers! Captain Stretch is one among many who are trafficking children to become biological experiments for Oceania to create supervillains!” he said as he rushed like a missile.
All the while his body accumulated divine force naturally once more.
It wasn’t even two minutes and he arrived and he arrived swinging.
Captain stretch was standing over Ruth but in seconds he appeared with blood in his eyes.
The man had only a moment to look and shift his arm to the hardened state that he had seen Robin have when he first awakened.
He went flying like a bombshell through the rubble and scraps and the men looked at him in shock.
“Wh- You were at Disaster… I was watching, your body turned to ash!” One of them shouted.
Robin did not smile or say anything, Ruth stood up and said nothing except looking at the disaster sight, “How long do you think it will stay down?” She asked.
Crack!
A loud sound came from far off.
“Not long. It will regenerate for sure, thankfully I had two big things that helped me destroy it to such a level. Without Supervillain Crusher achievement and the effect from my aspect which both boost me, I probably wouldn’t have survived to punch so long.” He said.
“Let’s clean up before it is back then.” She said and turned her eyes to them.
Beat Springs looked at Robin and then towards the Academy, “You revived… just like a moment ago you also used the gamer space to change your abilities and bloom.” He said, “That means the most dangerous person isn’t you and your explosive growth, it’s the gamer brat.” He said.
Robin looked at him, “Good luck trying to leave here.” He said, narrowing his eyes.
“I don’t need to leave, I need to kill you. Your world core is immensely different from the others and I’m sure ‘he’ will reward us generously for getting it from your dead rotting corpse.” Beat Springs said.
The two burst towards one another and punched causing another wave of explosions before beat springs were shot back with trembling hands. “How much did you get stronger? I’ve already mastered psychic energy and double flow like you said, the control was easy and I even beat the Capt easily after it. How are you so much stronger! What did you add!” He shouted.
“A dead man needs no confirmation.” Robin said as he added Divine force into the mix and shot at the man only for the captain to appear as he changed his body in several ways and attacked. Sadly, Robin was boosted and was not holding back, all they heard was a chilling sound of raw meat touching hot metal. It was no different and he screamed as his arm literally formed cracks from divine force that was invading his body. The more he held back, the more invading, no different from what the Titan force had done against the punch machine at the start and finally Robin pushed and sent him flying and crashing into a pile of rubble.
They looked at him in shock and they saw the cracked arm slowly leak energy but once it did, they saw the arm had been totally charred. Seconds later, it literally broke off his shoulder. He screamed in pain, “It hurts doesn’t it, that is the intense energy burn from divine force. I meant what I said, for your crime of human trafficking to oceania, treason and human experimentation, you are all given the death sentence.” He said like a cold judge.
Beat Springs looked at the captain and the next moment Robin was above him with his leg glowing and kicked the man in the throat. He didn’t have time to change his body and a resounding crack came before Robin stomped on his face and unloaded Divine force causing the cracks to spread through his head and down his body until it literally burst into white flames.
Ruth was not perturbed but then Beat Springs shouted, “STOP! I-If you kill us all, all the parasites in these children’s heads will blow up!! They are connected to our lifesigns and as soon as it is all gone it will mean we were exposed. It is also set to make them go deranged and start to injure their bodies as soon as half of us are dead!” Beat Springs exclaimed.
Robin looked at them “System… can the parasites be killed through status growth?” He asked.
Negative, the system is not designed to kill but to progress. The same is true for intestinal parasites, they will live in a harsher environment with the enhanced host but not die off, especially something that is clearly connected and feeding off the brain of the host.
Robin looked at the message and narrowed his eyes before looking at the braveman that finally had something to grab onto and soon the thousands of children began to stand up.
“Kid, can you hear me!” Techno’s voice sounded in his ear.
“Yes.” He replied.
“What was that explosion near your position?” Techno asked.
“A sacrifice to keep Disaster contained for a moment. Now Capt Stretch is dead but I’ve been told that the students that have the parasite in their heads will die if I kill off all this scum.” He said.
“Then just rip their arms and legs off.” Techno coldly said.
He grinned, making all the men feel a cold feeling, “Understood.” he said and put his hand down from the communicator, “Ruth… rip their arms and legs off, as long as they are alive the students will be safe.” He said.
They all instantly trembled and turned to run but before any of them, even the fastest one, Beat Springs, could react, Ruth and Robin moved first and sent a few of them sprawling before Robin landed on Beat Spring’s legs causing him to shout and punch back only to have his hands gripped. “You realize that I actually admired you, feel a small part of the pain you caused my sister!” he said, causing the man to roar in pain until the arms and legs were charred.
Ruth was far less kind and used speed these guys couldn’t completely react to and actually ripped legs at the knee. Robin joined and within minutes they crippled the six braveman and shoved a sound muffler into their mouth so they could not command them before they were painfully beaten unconscious.
Then the two looked at the remaining blinking figures on their mini maps and the timers left to regain visual sight of them and then at the giant that was slowly piecing the skeleton and muscles back together.
“We have 5 minutes.” He said.
“More than enough.” She coldly said.
At that moment, Milo arrived on the back of Scar and saw the two releasing an immensely dangerous feeling.
“A-are you guys okay?!” Milo exclaimed and looked at the limbless bodies.
“Take these guys to the academy. These children are all under hypnosis, we can’t heal them without killing the parasite in their brains.” Robin said.
“Does it have a soul?” He asked.
The question shocked them but Robin nodded, “I personally destroyed the one in Ruth because of a psychic connection we have.” Robin replied.
“Good, then I will be able to kill them off without danger. Don’t worry about moving them to the academy, necromancy is the control of souls and undead. Controlling parasite souls is easy compared to complex human souls.” He said and began to call for backup from strongman teachers.
Robin and Ruth turned to their task, the memories Robin saw, the memories Ruth regained, it lit in both of them an unfathomable rage that killing these men would not satisfy. It had made them buy the traits without thought just to be able to do that and they both exploded towards the remaining targets like starved jackals.
