Cato loped over the savannah at something close to one hundred miles per hour, able to really let loose now that he had flat ground. Every hour or so he planted a seed at a river or oasis, where they could bury into the mud and suck in water to try and restock on deuterium, searching for the hidden gems of heavy hydrogen sometimes found in life’s favored solvent. After encountering the rodent pair he was more aware that something really potent could swoop down and flatten him, and it was better to have…-

The lush, riotous jungle stopped abruptly at a deep chasm of layered blue stone, a ribbon of water winding through far below while a rolling golden savannah stretched out on the other side. At something over a mile across it was bit too far to jump, even for the warframe, but Cato had business at the bottom. Two kinds of business, in fact. One was to plant his seed into the river, a turn of phrase that made the warframe’s ominous muzzle curl into a juvenile grin. Even if the label was amusing, the…

Cato stepped through the portal from Earth just as it began to close. “Cato! What are you doing?” His commander’s voice came simultaneously through the air and through the microwave gland in Cato’s head, as the portal shimmered and shrank. “Systema delenda est,” he replied. It was his slogan for the past decade of earth, and the reason he’d adopted his current moniker. Some of his comrades thought that it was enough to push the System off earth, but Cato knew that as long as it existed,…

James narrowed his eyes at Mark as he mentioned Japan, and he grit his teeth for a moment before he turned and began to walk away. America and Japan have never been on good terms, and they were only at peace because they had a common enemy in the Anima. If someone like Mark leaves America and goes to Japan, then Japan would do anything they can to protect Mark and make sure that America cannot get him back. At his current strength, Mark was practically an S-rank already! It would be a disaster if the…-

"Little girls shouldn't have a mouth as foul as yours. You're going to ruin your beauty with that mouth if you keep talking like that." Mark had a serious soft spot for children and he just couldn't help himself when he saw the little girl and how cute she was! She looked like she came straight out of a fairytale with her giant teddy bear and her long blue hair! "Let go, you barbarian!" The girl sent a fist at Mark and it slammed into Mark's face, but it didn't even make him budge as if there was…

The old man's feet dug into the ground, and he was sent skidding across the floor as his legs created deep trenches! The man tightened his fists, and he grunted as he felt a throbbing sensation on his forearms! What sort of punch was that!? Mark's strength suddenly increased massively, and it felt like his bones were on fire! Woosh! Mark charged in for another strike, but a loud voice suddenly shouted from the other side of the room! Both men stopped as the female voice shook the entire building from…

The old man was attacking Mark relentlessly, and Mark was guarding perfectly against the old man's attacks! The old man knew that at this rate, he would not be able to break through Mark's defenses since Mark was perfect at blocking and defending! The old man had to admit that he was not as physically strong as Mark, and he knew that he would have to change his strategy if he wanted to win this fight! That was perfectly fine with him, though! He never intended to win against Mark with only brute…

If the superhumans go to that island and the monsters there turn out to be much stronger than initially estimated, then there is no way anyone would be coming back alive. 'But that is none of my business. I am only going there for Arit after all.' Mark leaned back and continued to listen as Milicent pointed out another spot on the map. "We plan to give a beacon to the weaker members of the team to allow them to call for help if they are in trouble. That way, stronger members who are not busy will…

Fiona wouldn't stand a chance if she fought against Mark when she knew that her blessing wouldn't work against him! "I heard from Mr. Grey that there was a need for a replacement since there was a small problem. Uhm... I'm Milicent with one L. It's a pleasure to meet you superhumans. Especially you, Mr. Mark Vanitas." The woman who entered the room after Grey left finally spoke when she noticed that Fiona and Mark were no longer talking. She was a tall woman with modest assets and a slight athletic…

"Wow~ You've really done it now~" Fiona could only say this as she watched the look of intense anger spread across Mark's face. Fiona knew that Grey was already saying too much and it would not end well for him! She was not surprised by the anger that Mark was showing now. Mark has been listening to Grey right from the beginning. At first, Mark only thought that Grey was a little annoying. He didn't care that Grey didn't believe him about his patron god, and he wasn't going to bother trying to…
