Chereads / Perhaps A New World / Chapter 4 - CHAPTER 4 : What?

Chapter 4 - CHAPTER 4 : What?

Mach 10 , the limit of a jet aircraft pilot by a human in the condition to fly through the atmosphere , they couldn't surpass that not because of they lack in technology but instead it was dangerous for the pilot as if they ever eject they couldn't survive it plus the acceleration could be very threatening. For a normal human...

' and yet here I am flying at mach 10 '

*FUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH*

When you accelerate at such a high speed every particle that you make in contact with is dangerous. Even the clouds and water droplets can be as sharp as a needle that could pierce through your body.

" but still , am I almost there ?, I couldn't know because of the render distance, I wish I have a special eyes to see everything , that would make things easier "

All at once I could see far beyond the normal capabilities of a human. I could see the port city already from what was once not in sight , strange particles everywhere around me as I went and rather then the blue sky I could see the space itself which is beyond our atmosphere.

And in the far distance a fisherman's boat is preparing for sailing when suddenly they saw something piercing through the sky like a meteor followed by a large thundering sound.

*FUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH*

Yes both a meteor and this thing are almost identical , beautiful yet dangerous.

While the one who witness the unbecoming of an apocalypse is a little yet innocent young girl.

"'Daddy is that a bird or a plane , or maybe a superhero?"'

"' no sweety , that's probably a monster that will catch you if you sleep late at night, by the way gramps are you finish yet with the radio? "'

"' be patience will you, its almost finish , humph people this day have no patience at all"'

"' yes , yes but gramps why must you still keep clinging onto that junk ?"'

"It's not a junk , this is our legacy passed through our generation, it's still sturdy as a rock , besides we're on a budget this time , the fishies are avoiding the net , is it perhaps an evolution?"'

"'yeah , yeah gramps "'

' there he goes again sometimes I still don't know how he's still alive '

"'alright it's working"'

*Psshhh*

("'emergency broadcast, please evacuate from the port city Mesodonea, I repeat please evacuate from the port city Mesodonea, if you're anywhere near the port city, please be safe and take shelter"')

"'."'

"' what? What's happening?"'

At long last , the port city Mesodonea is finally within reach , the first thing in sight is a beautiful long beach full of white dusty sand. Multiple tall buildings built beyond the beach as if its a barricade or a wall to resist the ocean. But something is strange. Even with all the beautiful things layed upon there not a single human in sight to grab and adore it. Hence , I slow down as to prepare for landing between the buildings on the streets.

*Tap*

With all those adventures I had in the sky , I have finally manage to step on land. Thinking of the opportunity given I inhale as deep as I can as if this is my last day and breathe in all the familiar air , the air on land. Ah yes , the dusty yet familiar air though this time it doesn't smell like pollution.

"Oh land if you know how much I missed you so dearly"

Of course with such being I am after getting imprisoned in a lab and chased in the sky following my escape, surely this time it won't go so well either. Presumably someone is tracking me.

*TINGGG*

Unexpectedly or as expected a noisy speaker sound is being heard.

*tap**tap

A monotone voice is introduced as someone probably a woman talk.

"'test, test , is this thing on? Hello there guest , welcome to Mesodonea, I hope you will enjoy our welcome that is to say we might be a little bit rough on you"'

In my head I'm thinking of all the possibilities that might go through as they may try to set a trap and strike me but most importantly how did they saw me.

"What is it? Playing hide and seek"

' what are they planning? '

" You should know that there's nothing that can hide from my eye "

"' come on , you scared? Can't you use your powers or something and how are you so dumb , just because you're invisible it doesn't mean that you won't affect your surroundings"'

Although I know this woman is trying to lure me in using my powers but it doesn't really matter as I can just push through as I always do besides her monotone voice plus her provocation is annoying.

"Okay this woman is really trying to test my patience but I guess she is true about the invisibility , there's no use in using invisibility anymore"

I shut off my invisibility as there's no need for it anymore and scanned the entire place to find her with different electromagnetic waves I found out there are multiple people in random buildings , all of them holding a mic and are the same person ? Is this an illusion? Or are all of them the same clone, I had to guess as to where she is, ultimately I decided with one.

I walk towards the tallest tower in the middle of the street, with it appearance it's probably a broadcasting tower.

"'Come on kid do something"'

" Imagine if she suddenly can't talk"

"' come on, come on"'

In that moment I noticed something is weird and I don't like it, about why is she still talking? Is there a limit to my powers? Is there a range?

"Why can she still talk? what?"

"' what's wrong? Accidentally bite your tongue?"'

"Imagine if she can't talk.... I wish she can't talk "

' what is happening , why is still not working?'

"' it seems we already know the range of your powers and you know it too"'

"."

Although I won't lie that I don't like this situation and would very much like to avoid it but deep down I also feel adrenalize as I have never gotten to unleash my full potential. Even though I could try to destroy all the buildings but if I could I would still like to avoid destroying innocent people's properties and avoid damage to minimum.

"HAHAHAHA , you've got me good come out now"

A beautiful woman with short pink hair and eyes wearing a white trench coat and a sunglass suddenly comes out from a nearby cafe around 200m down the streets and with that all the other person disappeared.

" wait what just happened , so is it an illusion?"

'"Hahaha kid you look surprised , unfortunately I won't tell you anything"'

Wait, her voice seems different than the other person, if that's true then there may be more people but most importantly if this lady is facing me even after all that scenario then she is confident that she might win.

"' before I defeat you how about we start by telling each other name so that you will know who is your opponent that successfully defeat you by the way I'm Jessica, what about you "'

" Wow , how good manners, I'm..."

"'oh don't waste your time , I can't even hear you , well I guess I don't need this anymore"'

She touch both of her ears as if to shut off something. Something that could block sounds from entering. If so then they would already know that sounds have no correlation with my powers

"I'm warning you , walk away , I'm here to just enjoy my time"

"'WHAT?'"

"Time to get serious , if my powers can't reach her then I just need to get closer "

I sprint as fast as I can by using all my strength in my legs trying to end this fight as soon as I can since I don't know what card they have up their sleeves

"Imagine if I'm fast as ...."

"' you're too slow "'

She uttered that as she raised one of her hands straight at my direction with a gun hand gesture.

*STROOOOOOOM*

"'wait... what?"'

In that moment space itself have separated instantly as if it was already separated. A thin line emerge as if a horizon apear that which split everything apart into two ,the top and the bottom. It happened so fast and unexpected that I didn't even have time to react. Multiple buildings fall down as they have no structure to hang on onto.

*GRRRRR* *BOOOM*

And with that my vision gradually change upwards as if I was falling back. Actually all this time I have never looked at the sky that properly, it's so... heavenly. Even if all you saw is a blue sky but beyond that is the space itself which might be infinite. The universe is truly vast , even right now there might be more than the observable universe just like a horizon.

*splat*

As I was falling down I look intensely infront and could see my lower body, my legs standing still , never giving up.

They say when you're almost dead you get a sudden sense of enlightenment as the time pass slower. I could see it , the sky as beautiful as ever , while I wanted to watch the sky as time pass slower but I still wish to explore this world as I have yet to do. I wish... I was stronger.

' I've become to complacent, even if my powers are powerful if I can't utilize it well then it'll be useless '

' I wish I couldn't die even if I wanted to '

' I guess with that even a super or regenerative power is just a bonus '

In that split moment my upper and lower body have bonded itself with a string of blood trying to reattach. And with that I have return to a completely normal state.

"'oh you're still alive , seriously?"'

' I know it won't be easy but still..'

Even she was surprised in spite of the fact that she knew of my powers.

" Yeah sorry to disappoint you but I'm still alive and kicking, still standing facing you "

' I wish I'm as fast as a light '

I sprint towards her trying to punch her but still get stopped by her hand which isn't even something hard like my barrier but it was stopped naturally as I didn't even made contact with her hand.

Although my thoughts were accelerated she was still faster even when there was no movement, she's not even fast as I didn't even notice her hand movements but it's as if her hand was there all the time. Instantaneous.

' that barrier seems.. '

She teleport in an instant behind my back while doing a spinning kick even though it doesn't feel heavy but her kick carry the force of tons , it's as if a magnet is trying to repel itself. I got thrown backwards hitting a building piercing it straight through. Thus the building fell down on top of me but of course I won't give up here.

' that barrier seems interesting '

' imagine if I have telekinesis and that barrier'

I throw a whole building towards her as a distraction to get closer

"'you have to try harder kid "'

I was still feeling calm as I just need to get closer to stop her that was until she summons two small black holes from the tip of her finger and threw it at the building which annihilate it instantly .

*WHOOOOOOOP*

' you've got to be kidding '

I tried to imagine anything that can be used as a long range attack.

'imagine if I could shoot gamma rays like a quasar from my hands '

A concentration of energy full of gamma rays heading towards her but.... :::::

:;:::

------------------------------------/

-----------------------------------(

------------------------------------\

:::

::::

Nothing happened, all that concentrated energy got deflected like a stream of water from her with the signal of her hand gesture as if she's asking to stop while using her other hand to control the black holes and toss it near me.

I tried to escape and run as fast as I can but even light couldn't escape from a black hole thus I resign my fate so to at least I could stop it after it enters my range.

Surprisingly both of them collapse with each other which release an energy so massive that blind and incinerate everything.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

In that moment where I am at the most vulnerable as I can't see , no I can see everything albeit it's blinding me , she was right behind me and with contact push my head to the ground, the force almost make me pass out as I was fighting but then she retreats back and leave me be. I stand up tried to sprint towards her but.... I .. was...slow .

' what? '

"' haha you must've notice that your powers are gone "'

I was dumbfounded because my powers are no longer.

" wait what did you do ?"

"' nothing, it's just that you're weak "'

' I wish for .... '

'wait I can't imagine anything...'

' even if I don't think my will can be used as a catalyst but... Nothing '

' are my powers no more or do I have no will '

"' now , now calm down, you have lots of potential but humanity don't need rogues like you "'

"' so do you have any last words? "'

' well it's been a fun trip, I hope... I'

" See you in the afterlife "

-"'wait "'-

All of sudden she stop while talking to herself as if there's someone in her head.

"' yes president?"'

-"' bring him to me "'-

"' I guess that's fine"'

She must've thought ty I was harmless well in some sense I have to agree with her.

"' come here we'll meet the president "'

She touch my head and in an instant we were teleported somewhere unknown, somewhere in an office.

All of the windows are illuminated with light so bright but it doesn't even brighten the whole room, it's as if we're in a different space and at the end of the office you could see a figure of a man sitting behind the desk wearing a business suit and a tie as what one would expect from a president except his face is unperceivable while having a deep distorted voice that's appearing in my head like telepathically.

"' hello president"'

-"' good job executioner"'-

-"' I guess I should reward you for your accomplishments"'-

"' no I'm doing just what I'm supposed to do buuut , there's a latest motorcycle that came out made by mtech "'

- "' I'll go ahead to arrange one for you "'-

"'ouh hehehe you don't need to president but thank you "'

Hearing both of them talking and left me alone had me feeling a little bit awkward as I don't know what to start my conversation with.

-"' now , $#&#@ , I know who you're and where you're from so it must be a shock for you to arrive here , well I do have to apologize for your rough treatment when you first arrived but you must understand that it was necessary to imprisoned you in case of emergency since we must always be cautious after all "'-

" Stop with the excuses, all of your soldiers tried too kill me after all, that shouldn't be a warm welcome and I already knew you ordered them "

-"'hahaha it's a misunderstanding , i just ordered them to capture you "'-

" My guess is that you wanted to test my powers huh"

-"'."'-

-"' well you couldn't blame us right? How about you work with us and let bygones be bygones"'-

" I refuse I won't let anyone be above me , not in the past and not now. Well I'm dead anyways since I can't even use my powers "

With that I jumped at the window to kill myself as I rather die than living.

"' is it alright president, he is could make a good soldier since could loose your conscienceness by dying here and become an empty husk without any thoughts"'

-"' no worries I have no need for a rogue soldier and we can still use other ways to control his powers but be careful, seeing as how he's killing himself without a second thought it's either he is suicidal and doesn't want to work under anyone or he have a backup plan"'-

In the end everything felt so dark as I have died. I couldn't think anything or sense anything. What I could feel is only know.

Currently I who have no will , no thoughts and power is just a empty husk but... I hope that I could still have a second ch...
