Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 506 I Have A Counter Offer

"I must admit that your proposal is a sound one. The man I have taken as my champion has turned out to be nothing but a disappointment."

"Loki—"

Kevin quickly spoke up once he heard Loki changing his mind, but Loki turned to Kevin with a heated glare! There wasn't any pressure behind the stare, it was just a threatening look, but it seemed to shoot straight through Kevin's body like a bullet, and Kevin felt his entire body shiver in fear as he went silent again.

He immediately lowered his eyes from Loki's gaze and looked away as Loki turned back to Mark to continue talking.

"As I was saying, he is nothing but a disappointment. To not be able to kill one person, even after such elaborate scheming, speaks volumes of his uselessness. But that does not mean he has failed. The screams of fear and destruction I can hear from your world due to his actions have left me very satisfied. It is almost enough for me to give him a second chance."

Kevin seemed to perk up at that statement, and he turned his eyes toward where Loki and Mark were talking. He was getting a second chance?

Mark narrowed his eyes at Loki, and Loki just grinned as his snake-like tongue came out and licked a line across Mark's face. Once more, Mark had to struggle not to react, and Loki frowned when he didn't see any emotion on Mark's face.

Loki continued talking.

"So, I will make a deal with you. The country that you so cherish, and the people in it—if you are capable of foiling the plans made by Salazar and destroying the leader of the anima currently running rampant within the country to save them, then I will grant you your wish.

It is not possible to take back the blessings I have given to my champion, but I can take his soul from him and lock it in limbo. Would that satisfy you?"

"What!? You can't do this!" Kevin turned to Loki in shock with a shout, and Loki turned around to hiss at him.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Is that ssso?"

Loki's pressure suddenly burst out from his body and slammed into Kevin. Kevin felt an invisible force push him off the ground and into the distance!

DOON!

Kevin was thrown back like a ragdoll, and he slammed into a rock formation far away from where Loki and Mark were talking. He groaned as he tried to get his breathing back. The stump that was once his right arm started to bleed again, and he grabbed it quickly to try and slow the bleeding down.

Rumble!

Loki also said that Pat was fine, but Mark knew that Pat was the sort of person to find a good way to get out of trouble before it came. So Pat was hiding in some bunker somewhere no one would find him. Mark couldn't use that as a good measure to determine what he would be meeting out there.

'System, is the link to Sozin reestablished?'

[Yes, the user's link to the celestial plane has been reestablished by Sozin.]

Mark nodded internally before he spoke up to Sozin.

'Sozin, I know I am risking everything you've done for me, but I want to make this deal with Loki.'

On the other side, Sozin was silent for some time, and Mark thought for a moment that he would not answer, but eventually, he responded.

[Comment from GoG: I refuse.]

What?

Find adventures at empire

Mark was shocked by Sozin's response, and he quickly spoke up again.

'Do you not think I'll be able to win?'

[Comment from GoG: Winning or losing is not a matter of concern. In terms of power, I believe you are not inferior to whatever Salazar might've created to destroy your country. But you should remember who you are making a deal with. There's always something more when Loki is involved. He is not the god of mischief for nothing.

I cannot be certain that you won't hesitate and get killed when you encounter what Loki has planned for you.]
