"It's an earthquake!
It's an earthquake! "
Emma Eddie shouted in panic outside the room. Freezer, Bloodman, and Goran stood still and stared at Kieran.
To the three of them, as long as Kieran was sitting there, even if a volcano erupted beneath their feet, they wouldn't move, let alone an earthquake.
However, Emma Eddie was different.
She pushed the door open and wanted to warn everyone to leave.
However, the moment she entered the room, she saw Kieran sitting on the sofa and the three of them standing still. Emma Eddie was stunned for a moment, but she reacted quickly and wanted to pull Kieran away.
"It's an earthquake, leave now!"
Emma Eddie said.
"If it really was a catastrophic earthquake, do you think you could have opened the door with your strength?"
Kieran asked as he raised his hand and dodged Emma Eddie's grabbing hand.
"But …"
"If it's not a catastrophic earthquake, staying in the room is much safer than walking on the road. After all, you won't run into some panicked driver who drove a car towards you."
Emma Eddie wanted to say something but was interrupted by Kieran.
After Kieran's words subsided, the tremors on the ground stopped.
Everything in the room returned to normal.
Emma Eddie heaved a breath of relief when she felt the tremors go away.
No one would not be frightened by the wrath of nature.
Of course, a certain guy was an exception.
Emma Eddie glanced over at Kieran who was as steady as Mount Tai. When she thought about how she panicked just now, she instantly felt annoyed.
She was worried about him, so why did she act like a clown playing around?
"Hmph, men!"
Emma Eddie let out an awkward snort and strode out of the room.
When the door was shut, the teenage girl who grew up on the streets couldn't help but cover her face.
Even she herself felt like she was in a mess.
"No!
I can't go on like this!
"I need to make myself stronger, at least I can't …"
Emma Eddie felt more like a defeated dog when he thought about how the three Freezers didn't seem to panic at all.
He ran out of the room with his tail between his legs. He didn't even have the right to stand beside that guy.
This feeling was really unpleasant.
Hu, hu!
Emma Eddie forced herself to calm down after taking a few deep breaths before heading to her room.
Kieran clearly sensed Emma Eddie's movements outside the door, but he completely ignored her.
The two of them were only partners. As long as the other party did not harm his interests, he would not interfere with the other party's actions. Similarly, he would not allow the other party to interfere with him.
"Ferris, I'll leave this place to you."
As Kieran spoke, he stood up and walked towards the door.
Although the earthquake just now was not strong, the epicenter came from the direction of Smorewill Street.
Since it was in Alkender City, Kieran couldn't turn a blind eye.
Even Drexton and the others were there.
However, Kieran was already used to it. He had to rely on himself for everything.
"Yes, my lord."
After seeing Kieran off, the three Freezers bowed.
…
Deeper in Smorewill Street.
Drexton and the Knight were standing side by side in front of a giant crater.
Both of them looked at the crater with a serious expression.
A moment ago, the sudden tremor caused the ground to collapse, forming the crater before their eyes.
If it was just that, it would be categorized as a common crater, but the gloomy and cold aura that came from the crater was enough to freeze a man. It told Drexton and the Knight that the crater was not as simple as it looked.
What made Drexton and the Knight frown was that the crater was shrouded in a layer of supernatural darkness. Even with their sight, they couldn't see what was inside the crater.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, both of them ordered the civilians who were cleaning the street to retreat while the two of them stayed behind to check the changes in the crater.
"Is this Grudge Dragon's setup?"
Drexton guessed but he shook his head right away.
Grudge Dragon might be ruthless but it wasn't as gloomy and cold as the one in front of him. His coldness was the accumulation of slaughter.
Death Knell was the same.
Instead, it was similar to Mr. Ghost's gloomy coldness.
However, Mr. Ghost was dead a long time ago.
He died in his friend's hand.
"Should we inform the Glutton Emperor?"
Obviously, the Knight also thought of Kieran when he sensed the gloomy and cold aura.
"Not for now, the big battle just now has exhausted 2567, he needs rest to deal with what might happen next. Those bastards won't give up so easily."
Drexton waved his hand after some thoughts.
The Knight didn't argue.
Although extraordinary individuals surpassed common humans, they would still get hurt and tired.
Facing Grudge Dragon and Death Knell alone, even the Glutton Emperor couldn't have come out unscathed. He would have been injured and it was normal for him to have exhausted his stamina.
Rest was the right choice.
"Where's Machinist?
I need his backup here. "
Drexton asked through the high-powered walkie-talkie.
However, he didn't get an answer, all he got was a series of static noises.
Drexton frowned. He knocked on the walkie-talkie but the static noises didn't change.
"I think it's the pit here, I'll stay away."
Drexton told the Knight.
"Okay, I'll stay here."
The Knight nodded.
Drexton quickly walked away from the edge of the pit but the walkie-talkie in his hand still didn't get any signal. After walking for almost 300 meters, the walkie-talkie finally returned to normal.
"Machinist, Machinist?"
Drexton shouted into the walkie-talkie.
"Boss."
Machinist's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"I need your help."
Drexton said in a simple and concise manner.
"I'll be right there."
The 'Machinist' replied.
After getting a definite answer, Drexton took the walkie-talkie and walked back but soon, he noticed something was wrong.
The Knight was gone!
Before he spoke to Machinist, Drexton saw the Knight!
He was sure the Knight was standing at the edge of the pit a moment ago, just like when he left.
What happened?
A bad feeling rose in Drexton's heart, he dashed back to the edge of the pit without a second thought.
"The Knight? The Knight? "
Drexton shouted loudly.
In the end, he turned his attention to the pit.
The surroundings were clear, the only suspicious thing was the pit.
"Could the Knight have been forced to go into the pit?"
Drexton wondered.
The reason why Drexton said he was forced was because he knew the Knight very well. As the oldest among the Extraordinary individuals of Justice, the Knight didn't just have rich life experiences and battle experiences, he was also reliable and steady, he would never do anything reckless.
Therefore, if the Knight said he would guard the pit, he would do it and not search for the pit.
Now that the Knight was gone, he must have been forced to go into the pit.
If that was the case …
Drexton's face turned heavy.
The Knight might be old, but he wasn't weak. Quite the opposite, his extraordinary greatsword techniques had compensated for the Knight's depleted stamina due to his age. The custom-made armor granted the Knight quite a powerful defense, even against a supervillain like Grudge Dragon, he wouldn't be defenseless.
More so …
He was not far away!
All he had to do was shout and he would be able to support the Knight.
But what happened?
Let alone shouting, the 'knight' himself had vanished without a trace.
"What the hell happened?"
The clueless situation made Drexton anxious, all he could do was take deep breaths and force himself to calm down, but at that moment …
"S-Help!"
A weak cry came from the pit.
It was the Knight's voice.
The moment Drexton heard the voice, he didn't have the time to think, he wrote 'I'm going to save the Knight' on the ground beside the pit and jumped into the black hole.
The supernatural darkness instantly devoured Drexton.
The words that Drexton wrote on the ground were swiftly corroded by the darkness, and when the wind blew over, nothing was left behind.
…
"Drexton and the Knight are missing?"
Kieran raised a brow when he heard what Kat Lady said.
Kat Lady then moved closer to Kieran, trying to lick Kieran.
Kieran raised his hand and pressed her head, clearly rejecting her. Kat Lady then went along with the flow and crawled in front of Kieran.
"Meow is not happy.
Meow is a little emotional.
Meow needs some dried fish to get up. "
Kat Lady said in an angry tone.
Kieran didn't even look at her, he turned to Machinist, who was operating multiple machines and using them to search for Drexton and the Knight.
"Just like what Kat Lady said, there was a sudden earthquake just now. Drexton and the Knight, who were responsible for searching the area, lost contact with each other after the earthquake.
Me, Kat Lady, Fortress, and Weapon Master rushed here but we didn't find anything.
Not a single trace was left behind.
It's the same now. "
Machinist then moved his body to the side, allowing Kieran to see the multiple screens in front of him.
Kieran was checking the screens.
The screens almost covered the entire Smorewill Street.
"They haven't been modified, have they?"
Kieran asked.
"Nope.
My powers are directly applied to the machines, so if there are other extraordinary individuals using their powers to invade the machines, I'll be the first to notice. "
Machinist said in an affirmative tone.
"Em."
Kieran nodded. He then moved his eyes away from the screens and looked at the ground.
Everything that happened would leave traces.
Couldn't be seen?
It was just that the eyes weren't good enough or the direction of thinking was wrong.
Kieran had always believed so.
Now was no exception.
Transcendence [Tracking] allowed him to not find any traces left behind by Drexton and the Knight but he did find something else.
A black substance that floated like smoke, emanating a gloomy and cold presence.
The black substance quickly dispersed in the air, like snow melting under the blazing sun. Soon, it was gone without a trace.
However, it was enough for Kieran.
He saw the source of the black smoke.
It was not far away from him …
Underground.
Kieran walked over, but he didn't go straight to the core. Instead, he circled around the edge and carefully inspected the place.
Machinist, Fortress, and Weapon Master immediately followed him.
As for Kat Lady?
When she realized Kieran didn't care about her and seemed to have found something interesting, her feline curiosity made her crawl up from the ground and ran over.
"Meow? Meow?
What's … Meow! "
The Catwoman suddenly let out an ear-piercing meow and backed away.
"What's wrong?"
Machinist, Fortress, and Fortress asked.
"There's something scary here!
Get out of here meow! "
Kat Lady, whose hair was almost standing up, said quickly and ran far away. Out of trust in their comrades, Machinist, Fortress, and Fortress also backed off but Kieran didn't move.
"2567 Tower … Huh?!"
The Machinist instinctively wanted to dissuade Kieran, but before he could finish, he widened his eyes in shock.
Kieran had vanished!
A moment ago, Kieran was still in his sight but now, he was gone!
It wasn't just Kieran.
Kat Lady, Fortress, and Weapon Master, who were the fastest to react, had all vanished.
The Machinist was immediately bewildered.
At that very moment …
Kakroom!
The ground not far away started to collapse.
A huge crater appeared in Machinist's sight.
A cold and gloomy aura that could make one shiver came out from the crater. Machinist tried his best to see what was inside the crater but a layer of supernatural darkness prevented him from seeing clearly.
Instinctively, Machinist grabbed the gun at his waist.
The oak handle of the pistol gave Machinist a little peace of mind.
However, right after that, Machinist threw the gun away as if he had touched a snake or scorpion.
KABOOM!
The gun exploded like a grenade.
The 'Machinist', who could only put up a defensive stance, fell straight into the pit under the shockwave of the explosion, disappearing without a trace.
…
"Where's Machinist?"
Fortress, who was retreating, suddenly asked.
The Weapon Master stopped in his tracks, and the Catwoman in the distance let out a series of panicked "meow meow meow" sounds.
"Calm down!
Something's not right here! "
Weapon Master was around the same age as the Knight, so he had more experience than the younger one. At least, he didn't panic because of Machinist's disappearance.
Weapon Master sized up his surroundings and when his eyes glanced over at Kieran further away, he couldn't hold back his admiration.
When he was at Kieran's age, he wasn't as calm as he was now.
No doubt this young man wasn't just powerful, he was also …
While the word 'f * ck' was brewing in Weapon Master's heart, before he could say it, the old superhero saw Kieran raise his left hand and a ball of burning flame appeared in his palm.
The ball of flame then smashed onto the ground beneath Kieran's feet.
KABOOM!
The burning flame waves rumbled in all directions. The explosion didn't stop but the ground started to tremble again. Unlike the previous earthquake, this time, the ground was really shaking.
The ground was torn apart, cracks appearing all over the ground.
Kieran, who had just smashed the flame on the ground and caused such a huge commotion, disappeared.
Replacing him was a huge, black monster with sharp teeth and a ferocious face.
Weapon Master quickly steadied himself and when he saw the scene before him, he couldn't help but spit out the word that he had been holding in his heart.
