Bruce’s bulging veins could be seen on his forehead. He started shuddering involuntarily, indicating he was on the verge of going berserk.
He’s pushing his luck! There’s no way I’m letting him off the hook!
Although Levi had made his way off the battleship with Jared and Byron, he still needed to brace himself through the upcoming challenges.
The battleship’s defense system had been activated. Levi was the sole target of the advanced weapons installed onboard.
If it weren’t because of the hostages, Levi might have been blown into a speck of dust within a few seconds.
On top of the self-defense system, there were several choppers in the middle of the air. The choppers had been armed with different types of weapons to assassinate Levi as soon as the opportunity arose.
On the other end, countless armored vehicles had gathered around on the land. Several unique models with the latest technologies were involved in the mission to take out the threat of the nation.
The vehicles were carrying secret weapons which could be laser beams weaponry, nuclear weapons, and even biological weapons. Those had always been the trump cards of Zarain.
Initially, those were meant to be kept confidential from civilians, but the officials couldn’t care less since they were determined to kill Levi to defend the country’s dignity.
Amongst the forces alighting from the armored vehicles were samurais from Raysonia, martial artists, and men with superpowers.
They were capable of manipulating the natural elements to their favor at ease. Usually, there were two types of them.
Some of them had been blessed with talents to manipulate elements of nature. They happened to be the superior one amongst the rest.
The second group cultivated their talents through the alteration of genetic models and physical conditions. Usually, they would achieve supernatural strength and speed. Occasionally, they would get their hands on the talents to control the elements of nature as well.
The most common type of superpower was supernatural strength and speed since those could be acquired through simple alterations of genetic models.
Their genetic models would be merged with those from animals with high speed such as cheetah or grizzly bear for strength in order to grant them the talent of the particular species of animals.
In short, those with superpowers could easily outmatch martial artists since not many could be considered foes to those with natural talents.
Truth be told, there were all sorts of rumors regarding those with superpowers, but the officials had gone to great lengths to keep their presence confidential.
Thus, it was a surprise for those with superpowers to show up as if they had always been a part of society.
The armored warriors had gathered around as soon as they received instructions from their higher-ups.
In addition, the officials and those from Shield had gathered the aid of their neighboring countries.
Assassins specializing in taking out those from the Supreme class had shown up as well.
There were reinforcements from all over Zarain since their common goal was to take Levi out at all costs.
Soon, Lake City was filled with combatants. They ensured there was no way Levi could escape.
“We’re so sorry, but you’re not allowed here!”
“Show them the way to the location!”
Things were chaotic since countless parties had gathered around. It was evident the officials of Zarain wished to assert dominance over others through their upcoming counterattack. Most importantly, there were trying to use this incident to warn the rest of the world.
“We won’t allow anyone to leave Zarain without the higher-ups’ consent!”
Smirking, Levi asked, “Are you sure? Well, I’m going to prove you wrong!”
