Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 686 It's The Flow of Time

"I have no idea what you're talking about. You're the one that wanted to talk to me, and now that I brought you here, you're telling me I did something wrong? Just how ungrateful can you be!? You should be thanking me for even bringing you here to answer the request of a lowly mortal such as yourself!"

Mark clicked his tongue in annoyance and looked down at his phone to see that he didn't have any signal anymore. Hopefully, he'd go back to the same spot that he left so that he could still answer Luna's call properly. But for now, Mark put the phone in his pocket and focused his attention on Sozin. The two of them just stared at each other for a few seconds before Mark finally spoke up in a serious tone. Mark didn't beat around the bush at all and he didn't bother with a greeting, Mark just went ahead and asked the most important question.

"What am I, Sozin?"

Sozin's smile only grew as he stretched his legs out and floated around Mark calmly. Mark kept his eyes on Sozin as he waited for an answer, and when Sozin finally spoke, Mark felt his eye twitch.

"What do you think you are, Mark?"

Mark wanted to strangle that stupid bastard, but instead, he sighed to calm himself and spoke up again.

"What Freya said to me in her domain. Was it true?"

Sozin frowned for a moment as he floated behind Mark before he sighed.

"Freya always says too much. All the gods know that. Her love for humanity blinds her, and since she's married to that powerful bastard, there's nothing anyone can do to touch her."

"Look at me, Mark. I am not fucking playing around. The gods are not going to continue interfering in your world for much longer. We cannot help you win this war. Our job was always to awaken the potential within the creatures on Earth and give them a fighting chance, and now that we have done that, we can only sit back and wait for what will happen. You need power, Mark. You need to make sure the humans possess enough power to face what is coming for them. Whether the humans win or the anima win, the gods will not intervene anymore. It is up to you to secure your position as the dominant race in your dimension. Do you understand?" Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

Mark grit his teeth internally as the many questions on his tongue threatened to come out. Why were they thrown into this war? What other dimensions are out there? Why did they have to fight against the anima just because the gods said so!? But the inteisity of Sozin's stare pinned donw on Mark and forced Mark to first answer Sozin's question.

Mark had to struggle to stop himself from speaking for a few seconds before he finally nodded to say that he understood. Once Mark was sure that Sozin accepted the answer, Mark spoke up as Sozin started to float backward.

"Why are we doing this, Sozin? Why do we need to fight each other for the chance to be the dominant race? What do we gain from doing this? It sounds like some sick joke that the gods are playing for their own amusement!"

Mark didn't know why things had suddenly spiraled out of control the way they had. Humans had been the dominant race on Earth for a long time, so hearing that the anima now had a chance to become higher than them in the dimension was enough to irritate him! The anima just showed up one day out of nowhere and started killing people! What right did they have to lay claim to the Earth? Was this how every single world out there did things!?

Sozin could see the confusion in Mark's eyes, and he just shook his head.

"It's the flow of time and space, Mark. It's the way of nature. If things weren't like this, then your dimension would end up in a constant state of war and destruction that would decimate everything within it. With one dominant race presiding over every other one, there will be peace and a sense of governance. That's why you are doing this. So remember this: unless you wish to be governed by the anima for the rest of humanity's existence, I suggest you fight. Fight and grow stronger like your life depends on it! I'll be rooting for you, Mark. So no matter what happens—well, no, if you lose, then I'll fucking laugh at you for the next million years! So you better win, you idiot!"

...

GASP!!

Mark woke up in the real world again!
