Chapter 43 - Chapter 43: Humans, Do You Really Want To Be Saved?

Nicklaus could not keep calm after the books he got. He smiled at himself even more creepily as he shot off to Mars where the poor planet's surface had been reshaped by his constant bambardment with spells. Now he was back with even more powerful spells! Nicklaus settled down quickly and opened the ring allowing everything in it to spill out. He had also willed almost unlimited writing materials to appear and now he was ready. This time though he wanted to make sure he spent very little time in Mars so he did everything with super speed.

Thus in one month, he had everything figured out and made his own version of the spells. He smiled at himself as he thought of how smart he was regarding this kind of things then opened a portal straight to National City. It was like he never left at all. He continued on with his superhero career and like always, National City lacked criminals so Nicklaus told Olsa to go to New York for two years so that she could good combat experience. New York was like a magnet for trouble in Marvel like Gotham was in DC. Olsa did not protest for she was finding all the monotonous hero work she did here tideous so the first plane she got to New York was off with her.

Two weeks after she was gone, Nicklaus encountered a case that would seem that it could lead somewhere. He found a cargo ship with containers filled with young girls. The cops had called for him when they found it and he was the one who opened up the containers. Inside nearly all of them were young girls from Asian, European and African origins. When they saw who it was, their eyes were refilled with hope like they had seen their second wind. When all of them were lined up outside and he landed in front of them, one of them hugged him suddenly then all of them went for it so he was swarmed by twenty four thousand girls all hugging him and crying.

"Okay, it's alright, I'm gonna do all I can to make sure you all go back to your families or countries," he promised them.

"Most of us are orphans. We do not want to go back to our countries where we might be used once again. Please, let us stay here. We promise to do our best and not be burdens," one of them said. Nicklaus looked at her and saw she was from a European origami and from her accent it was Paris though she seemed a little bit well educated. Just then, a cop brought the captain of the ship. When the girls saw him, their eyes did not show hatred but gratitude.

"Superior Man, this the captain of the ship. He says he has something important to tell you," the cop said then Nicklaus turned to the middle aged man.

"My name is Captian Aendreas Bakas, I am the one who called on the coast guard about the human cargo I was bringing to America. My humanity could not let this happen so I decided to bring the girls to the only land I know corruptness does not exist, National Island. Please, you have to find whoever is doing this and bring them to justice," the man pleaded.

"Well, you did good and I thank you for that. But the boys are gonna put you in jail first because we need to be sure," Nicklaus told him and he nodded in understanding. Nicklaus then turned to the cop. "I need to have the ship's ledger book and have these girls taken to the Emergency shelter at the East side. It is bigger and more comfortable than the others. I will see if these criminals will have enough money to make sure all these girls are well fed, clothed, housed and educated till college. I am gonna have a press conference so you boys better take these girls out of here before those news hungry demons come and harass them." The police man nodded then walked off to relay the instructions. Two hours later, the last of the girls was into the last truck and they were off. Nicklaus made sure the road they would take was safe uptown the emergency shelter and was satisfied. When they were out of sight, the news vans screeched into the harbour. The remaining police officers had a hard time making sure there was no stampede. When everything was quiet, Nicklaus then started.

"An year ago, we were invaded by aliens because of a man calling himself a god and humans were just sheep to him. He was stopped by those same humans and was sent packing. This year again, we were invaded by other aliens and London almost fell if not for Thor and few other humans intervening. These humans have showed us that there is a capacity for humans to be good, to be heroes. All those people who study aliens will say we will be done in by the little green men; but I stand here to correct them, we will destroy ourselves.

"I have seen aliens, I have lived with them, fought with them and I have seen planets fall th same way Earth is heading to, where they do not care about their fellow's lives. Why am I saying all of these? Three and a half hours ago, a man with humanity inside him brought his ship into National Island and called for Coast Guard about girls in his containers. When the girls were asked they confirmed that he asked them where they would want to go and they replied here so he brought them over. I hate to see this side of humanity that they sell each other just to get a quick buck. So, I am announcing this in front of the whole world, I have had enough! I just fought two aliens invaders so that I can save this planet and then you decide to do this kind of rubbish! That's telling me you would rather not be alive and I am willing to give you that wish.

"So, everyone involved in this matter, wash your necks for me for I am coming to kill all of you. I will not care if you are the president or the Mother Teresa, you just forfeited your life today. Arm yourselves with C-4s, dirty bombs, machine guns, attack drones, mercenary mutants, nukes or even a frigging deathstar, I will not stop till every last one of you is dead! Oh, also, happy Halloween kids," Nicklaus said then flew off, leaving the whole world shocked.

In a single day, the whole world had seen of his declaration and every world leader had gone to panic mode. This was what they were afraid of the most, the most powerful person going into a murder spree! Nothing was more terrifying and the bad thing was that they did not have anything that can stop him! He can kill innocents and they would not stop him! So, every country started making calls into their Embassies in the US and for those without they carried favour with any country that they could and made their calls. All the terrorist groups in the world went into hiding at once because of this! Every country wanted to know what the ledger of the ship contained.

For some reason, the contents of the ledger was out for them to know and soon, every country had got a copy of it. Soon, their own investigation had started and soon, all the human trafficking scums had been caught! It was the most tense moments in the world that even America had to send the Avengers to try and persuade Superior Man out of his this but they came to know he was off towards Asia! The countries in that continent did double their maximum effort and soon, they had caught the gang leaders. The other countries did the same and caught the criminals without discrimination. Their hearing was the fastest hearing ever and their execution was even faster. Soon all over the world there was a vacuum in the underground forces but noone was greedy enough to try and fill it up because of the fear of God instilled to them. In the third week, Nicklaus was back in National Island and had called for another press conference.

"It pains me to know that the governments all over the world had to be threatened in order for them to act like human beings. It just brings more doubt whether humanity can be saved or not. Before long, those seats left empty are going to be filled again and more scums will be back to doing their shit. Humans, do you really want to be saved?" he asked then flew away, leaving the world surprised once again.

Humans, do you really want to be saved? That question made everyone stagger as they looked at the society. Everywhere in the world, the society is always governed by the rich and the poor do not get to do anything. Most of the underhanded things in the underground are led by the rich and the poor are paid to do it. Even Olsa was surprised by how her teacher was talking. When asked in the news, she said something that made people even fear Nicklaus more.

"Superior Man once took me to the top of the tower in National City and told me to look down. He said to me, "Humans need someone to tell them what they are doing is wrong or is right. That is why religion was created, so that they can have order. They have been brainwashed for thousands of years about heaven and hell so that they can have order. I decided to help National because I am in love with this Island. I believe in the goodness in the human heart but sometimes, the human heart has to be led so that that goodness can be clear. I have led National Island to be the best place there is. Soon, more will appear and they will lead the rest of the world to be good but it will be a long and painful path, full of jealousy, betrayal and murder. Soon, humans will lead themselves to their ruin but we will have made sure we have done our best to help them.' I did not know what he meant by this until the Avengers appeared then I came to New York and met all the other heroes who have not gone international yet but are doing their best to keep humanity alive because as my teacher said, without someone to lead humanity into goodness, they will be lost into their own vices," she said.

Nicklaus had gotten the money he had promised and he build a large institute for the girls to stay in in one day. After the building was cleared for human conditions, the girls moved in and Nicklaus hired all the necessary people to take care of them then deposited the money into a bank account just for them to use. He told the Head caretaker to call him immediately they lacked anything and then went to immigration officers and asked them to make IDs for the girls. It took two weeks for all the girls to fill their documents, pictures to be taken and the forms to be taken for further procedures.

Once everything was done, they were now citizens and could enjoy the freedom with it. Tony Stark then provided them with best class teachers in every subject and soon the institute was like a boarding school, only the students lived there for the rest of school lives or till they left for college and University.

"Thanks for coming through," Nicklaus told Tony.

"You're welcome, just don't do that stunt again. You had the whole world walking on eggshells back then," Tony said and Nicklaus laughed.

"I am not Blackhearts enoigh to just go into a murder spree in this world. I just wanted to show the world just how bad they needed a guiding hand though it may come as a being who is becoming too arrogant with power," Nicklaus said.

"This life, it may make you judge whether the people need you to save them but we do it for the seventy percent who are worth saving," Tony said then flew off. Nicklaus looked at him then laughed.

"Guess that's why you gave your life to save everyone and left your daughter fatherless. Don't worry though, you will play with your daughter till the day you decide to pull that shit once again. But this time is the time for Superior Man to die and get out of the Marvel Universe," Nicklaus said then fly away.
