**Chapter 41: The True Power of Man-Made Mutants**
"I don't know who you are... But one's life or death is not something another person should decide."
Harry's body was surrounded by atomic atoms like a planetary belt. He looked at Elohim, who was standing upright on top of the wrecked station wagon, pointing a gun at him.
Elohim pointed an AR57 Semi Auto rifle at Harry and said, "What I hate the most in the world are guys who call themselves heroes and give useless advice."
Bang... Bang... Bang...
Gunshots rang out on the main road along with the gunfire. For Harry, his world seemed to slow down, and even the bullets coming at him seemed to be in slow motion. As he raised his hand, some atomic particles rose up and gathered together like bullets, deflecting some of the shots. At the same time, he dodged within Elohim's shooting range.
"All crimes should be decided by law, stranger. Not even heroes have the right to punish a villain themselves."
He immediately went to Elohim's side, created some arrowheads with atomic particles, and fired them. Elohim was not weak. He flicked the arrowheads away with the robotic arm on his left.
"The law is useless. Do you remember the case where a girl was molested to death last year? Because the defendant was a hero, he was taken to the court saying that only your hero association would solve it not police."
Elohim's hand reached out and grabbed Harry's neck. He then added more force and slammed Harry to the ground.
"Uh…" Harry vomited some blood after hitting the asphalt hard.
"We have sentenced that hero to be locked up in a... mutant prison for the rest of his life."
Elohim smiled and walked over to Harry as he lay on the ground.
"You know what a Mutant prison is like. It's a town where criminal Mutants are isolated. No punishment. They're supposed to be free and comfortable on their own. They have to eat on time, exercise, and go through some useless rehabit class. They'll be released at the end of their serving years. Is a girl's life worth a few years on an isolated island?"
Elohim kicked Harry, who was on the ground and unable to get up, with two steps and dragged him off the cot. Harry...
"You're making a big mistake..."
"You guys are wrong..."
"No… I'm just saying you haven't killed me yet, and you're wrong to argue."
"..." Harry laughed like a madman. Elohim also looked around to see that Harry was aiming at him with numerous atomic weapons that glowed like spear tips.
"Elohim... Kill Aizawa without talking, use pure energy and break out."
A girl's voice came from Elohim's communicator. Harry's face fell as soon as he heard the words "pure energy."
One of Elohim's eyes glowed blue, and a blue laser beam destroyed the mutant in the form of a spearhead. Elohim punched Harry hard in the stomach, sending him flying.
"Oh..." Harry cried out in pain and went up in the air. Then there was the sound of a collision with a fire hydrant on the side of the road and a broken spine.
Finally, Harry passed out due to the intense pain.
An ugly smile appeared on Elohim's face.
"The most powerful B+ among the same rank? You're still young."
Elohim pulled the door of the prison car open. Inside, he saw Aizawa sitting dejectedly. He looked up at Elohim and...
"Didn't you come to kill me, did you? But I have a request."
"Tell me in three seconds..."
"I want to confess to all my crimes. Can you take the record?"
"Five minutes..."

Medana was running on New York's main street and came to the public hero's school. She had some injuries, but none that made it difficult to move.
"Dammit..." Medana's eyes widened when he saw the frog and the giant snake running towards him.
If you suddenly see a snake with a head the size of a car, anyone will freak out.
"S...Silver Knight... It's still good... Sir Silver Knight, save me."
Knowing that he was no match, the little frog turned back into a half-transformed frog form and had to run away from the giant snake. The two of them were already quite far from the campus.
Medana raised her speed with a can-do gesture and stretched out her arms.
On the way, she pulled out a big pylon. Medana thought that it was no longer possible to remove the other pole as it was missing from the school road and the power cables were falling to the ground.
"Boy... do you know the weakness of giant people..."
Medana asked as she approached the frog sitting on his haunches like a frog on a car. The puffy frog shook his head.
Medana was facing the big snake that was looking at them with disgust...
"They're slow like the giant turtles of the world."
Medana activated the Void stream system of suit. The auxiliary muscles in her legs swelled, ready to unleash the suit's maximum speed.
"Using athleticism, I'm going to get close to the snake... I'm going to pierce the head of the obvious target with the weapon. Count the direction."
[The system is accepting the task.]
Immediately, a set path appeared on Medana's interior screen. Counter-strategies were being developed for possible enemy reactions.
"Very good..." Medana ran forward once and jumped onto a houseboat standing in the way. The snake was restless. It wagged its tail and drove out of the car. Medana's system also accounted for this risk.
Medana pressed the snake's tail with a large stone pillar in her hand. The big snake cried out because it was too painful. At that very second, Medana used the rock pillar to jump on the stick and jump to the snake's head. Then he used his sword to stab the upper part of the snake's throat.
Blood came out. The tip of Medana's metal-soaked sword came out of the snake's nose. Just when some of the venom had seeped into the snake's palate, Medana drew the sword back and thrust it out of its mouth. However, due to the pull back, a large wound was left in the snake's mouth.
Medana did not stop once she returned to the ground. She didn't follow the big stone that had already fallen back to the ground, and threw it from below like a short spear. Because of her outfit, she was as light as an arrow flew from the bow even with a roadside pylon weighing over 140 kilos.
Swell...
The power pole penetrated like a real spear due to the power of the suit and smashed the snake's head out. Along with the blood, some white spots scattered and it fell lifeless.
"System... He's a transformation mutant, so can he still recover from his healing ability?"
Instead of asking Amy, who was busy with Aunty Olive, Medana decided to ask the system directly in his suit. Little by little, Medana has come to think of Amy as a useless maid robot.
[Calculating... Answer: Impossible. No matter how good the healing ability is, if the conscious brain is destroyed, it cannot be revived. Citation: Hero Society Research Institute.]
Medana sighed only after receiving that answer. It was easy for her to defeat Snake Mutant because of her sudden arrival. If the two fight with all their might, it is not certain that who will win.
"S...Silver Knight, I couldn't defeat him and I was runing away. But in terms of power, we are not that far apart but you can defeat him. Are real pros like this?"
The frog is alone in his thoughts again. "Have you ever seen mutants that are the same level but some are more powerful than others? But if they are the same level, their powers should be the same, right?"
Medana also spoke because of the frog's words. "The power is the same, but the way they used is different. If a child holds a sword, it can't do much, but in the hands of a swordsman, terrible things can happen."
The frog nodded. The silver warrior's words made sense, didn't they?

On the other hand, Lisa was having a hard time. A red fairy trap flower trapped Mrs. Hero and the petal closed again. After that, the blood began to flow brightly.
"Ms. Hero..." Lisa shouted. Teacher Arthur, who was on the other side, was also in a bad condition. His entire body was held by the purple vines, and the red fairy trap flower was gradually approaching.
"Lisa... run... run away from the school." Sir Arthur was deeply disappointed. As a teacher, he could not protect his students. Now he himself was facing death.
Lisa took one last look at her teachers and ran off in the opposite direction to where the flowers were. Right now, only White Snake Mutant and Flower Mutant could attack, right?
They had already defeated Leopard Mutant, the Buffalo Mutant and the Bat Mutant. Lisa ran down the school corridor. The problem is Fairy trap flowers can grow where there is ground.
Suddenly, one of the classroom windows shattered, and shards of glass scattered across the corridor, causing Lisa to pause. A fairy trap flower burst out of that window, and the sound of the flower mutant was heard. But it's not the kind of voice that you hear, but the kind of voice that comes directly into your mind.
"Girl... you think you'll escape from my hands? My pollen has spread all over this campus. Soon, this entire campus will become a deadly forest."
The flower came out of a beautiful vase in the school room. Lisa pushed the flower away and continued to run.
While running, she looked outside the corridor. Green dust was spreading in the air, and fairy trap plants were growing as fast as the eye could see among the grass in the school. In addition, some purple vines were moving around like living snakes, clinging to buildings.
Lisa's fist was so tightly clenched that it was already bleeding.
"Blood is sweet... Surely the blood of a successful man-made mutant is sweet. But I have no right to drink your blood."
'Is that the power of an A rank?' was all Lisa thought. Flower Mutant was not even listed among the three most powerful within the Mutant Science Organization.
The real most powerful members are Shark Mutant, Night Cat, and Centipedes. Lisa's power was the best among her peers, but nothing in front of the Mutant Science Organization. Lisa was surprised and kept running.
'Big sister Scorpio saved me with her life, I cannot die useless like this.' In Lisa's mind, she saw the scorpion elder sister. Knowing that she couldn't win, she was left to fight the S-level centipedes, and Lisa was only able to get away because she delayed them.
Slowly, Lisa came to the west gate of the school. The west gate is where the school buses are. Since it is a concrete-paved area, the fairy trap plants cannot grow yet. But she had to go fast. Soon the purple tribe would arrive there and eliminate the disadvantage of not having land. Lisa had seen that venus trap flowers could grow on those branches.
"Hey... girl, your attempt to run from home is pretty cool. But the playtime is over."
Suddenly, a huge black creature descended from the sky and stopped in front of Lisa. Lisa could see the terrifying fangs and bats flying under the sun. Lisa's face was also badly deformed.
"Slager... isn't he dead? How did he get here?"
At Lisa's words, Bat Mutant gave an ugly smile and broke his reins.
"Vampires are undead, child. Now... may I taste a little of your blood?"
