While the bird remained dazed, Maverick had already positioned himself before it. With a swift motion, he raised his foot and slammed it down on its head, obliterating it into a grotesque paste of blood and bone fragments. The second beast met a similarly grim fate as Maverick grabbed its head, slamming it with brutal force against the tiled floor, shattering its skull and painting the ground with a morbid canvas of gore. As the final remnants of life drained from the creatures, Maverick's ears perked up. “It has ended so quick?" He mutters as the muffled screams from the adjacent room had abruptly ceased. Whether the individual had been devoured or managed a desperate escape was uncertain to Maverick and so his curiosity got the better of him. His gaze shifted to the wall separating him from the adjacent room. Without hesitation, he curled his fist and, with a light grunt, began striking the wall relentlessly. Each punch sent cracks spidering across the surface until, at last, t

No, I do have a weapon, but it's only a long-range one.Maverick thought as his eyes brightened while he gazed at the mutant human before him.There were such individuals in his previous world, but they weren't called mutants; instead, they were known as bloodline awakeners. According to the people from his previous world, the victim must have awakened a bloodline, which would lead to an evolution in both power and appearance, making them distinct from others and simultaneously stronger and unique.Maverick never expected a human to mutate, but upon reflecting on it, if a Sky Scourge could be a mutated version of some sort of squirrel, then why wouldn’t a human be capable of mutation?Indeed, not all humans would mutate, as it seemed like the process came with excruciating pain, which not everyone could endure. Those who managed to bear it experienced a surge of power, perhaps similar to the individual before him.“Hello, can you speak?" Maverick’s deep, manly voice echoed through the

Bang!The door rattled violently, its surface riddled with cracks and a few gaping holes that had already formed. Although the mutant human excelled in speed rather than strength, it didn’t change the fact that it was a Gamma-3 being, and a door like this posed little challenge to it.Boom!The metal door buckled in half as it was forcefully flung forward, smashing into the wall it had previously been attached to as the kinetic energy rebounded into it, making it recoil and flung towards Maverick side. Maverick calmly sidestepped, allowing the door to swoosh past him, crashing into the stairwell with a resounding thud. Debris scattered in all directions, slamming into the already fragile glass panels along the walls.GrowllllllThe mutant’s tubular eyes glowed faintly, seemingly scanning through the foggy, dimly lit room of the stairway. Its gaze roamed as it searched for something—or someone.After a brief survey, it began descending the stairs until it finally spotted a figure on th

Retracting the tongue from the wall with a single thought, Maverick dropped to the ground, which wasn’t more than 2 meters. One couldn’t help but wonder how he was able to survive such a fall—right from the 41st floor straight to the first—with only a few dislocated bones and fractures instead of ending up dead. Well, that was because Maverick was no longer a “normal human” to begin with. A human who could smash a wall with a single punch, run as fast or faster than Usain Bolt without getting tired, was the true definition of superhuman.Hearing that sound, Maverick smirked slightly as he checked his notification.[Host has eliminated a peak Gamma 3 Mutant Human: Sky Leader. 10 evolution points have been given to the host.]Seeing this, Maverick shut the notification as he lay weakly on the floor. Turning around, he saw dead bodies with their stomachs torn open and already reeking. One of the corpses was even staring straight in his direction with dull, lifeless eyes as if questioning

Anyway, it didn’t faze Maverick. On the contrary, he felt a sense of satisfaction with the current state of the world.Had the government retained their dominance, it would’ve spelled trouble for him. Rising to power under the shadow of such an established behemoth would have been next to impossible especially not one from America, a country that doesn't want to see anyone challenge their prestige. However, with the world now reduced to a level playing field, where everyone starts from scratch, building his own organization seemed far more feasible.His priorities were clear: ascend to Gamma 4 as quickly as possible and secure a location suitable for his future base. An abandoned military base, in particular, seemed like an ideal option as for a military base to be built, the location would have already been determined suitable for defense against enemies and it wouldn't need him to search longer for it.Casting a glance at the Birdy Man’s lifeless form, Maverick exhaled slowly, suppr
