Chapter 221 - Nebraska (IV)

A/N: For those who don't know that is a Nebraska City within the state of Nebraska. If you want you can google it… now, I don't know how big and populated this city is in the real world but for the story's sake just imagine it to be big.

------------------------------------------- ​​

[POV Reo]

"Phew!" I released a tired sigh and sat down on Sublime's table. "That was pretty intense" I said dismissively. Nemuri picked up the mobile and handed it back to me.

"Was it smart to invite the army?" Nemuri asked me giving me an odd look.

"No, it wasn't smart at all… but I didn't want to kill all these normal people. You know, most of the people in this city are completely innocent… I won't say that all of them are innocent, some people have definitely abused meta-humans but not everyone… especially kids" I said in a determined tone. Yes, I might be an evil guy but I won't happily slaughter children…

What I did in Deika City was completely different… even the kids in that city were members of the Meta Liberation Army. In the HP World, while I killed Petunia and Vernon Dursley, I allowed Dudley Dursley to survive. Even though I wanted to kill the ferret face so badly in Hogwarts I allowed him to survive.

At least the children inside this city are completely innocent except for bullying some children. That is the reason I have decided to give them time to run away… now, if the parents are unable to run away with their kids they will die and it won't be my fault. Will I feel bad if innocent children die because of me? The answer is NO. Now, everyone would call me a monster because of this but it is completely different for me…

Since my first kill, which was Magne, I never felt anything when I killed someone. No matter if those people were innocent or evil… it was just a neutral matter for me. Even when I tortured people into insanity I never felt bad… I know my moral compass isn't pointed in the right direction but can anyone fault me for not having human emotions??

I have always found it odd that I never felt bad after killing or slaughtering people. I should have been sick with myself after what I had done in Deika City but I didn't feel anything… neither remorse nor regret. Now, that I know that my soul is a combination of the Leviathan of Destruction and a normal human I know why that is… no matter how you compare a human soul and a soul like the Leviathan of Destruction… the soul of the Leviathan would always be dominant. Now, why would the Leviathan of Destruction ever feel bad when he was killing a measly mortal??

It might feel like I am blaming my lack of remorse on the soul of the Leviathan but that isn't the case. I am not blaming it… I am accepting that part of me. Even though a human soul is merged in there I am still the new Leviathan of Destruction. I am neither the human nor the old Leviathan… I have long ago accepted what I am even before I knew about my true origins.

But there are still some human morals left inside me… that is the reason I am giving the humans a chance to get their children out of this city. Could I have gone without destroying a city? Of course, yes. But then I would have been just a joke in front of the humans…

"Oh ok… I also think that the kids should get out of this city" Nemuri thought for a few seconds and nodded her head.

"Don't you feel bad that I am going to kill all these innocent humans just for my ego?" I asked Nemuri, my eyes were on her face carefully checking all of her expressions.

"…Honestly, no, back in the HP World, I found out how corrupted these worlds can be. Yes, from what I have heard Sublime might have been responsible for the hate between humans and meta-humans but even after you threatened them they thought it was a joke… there is no way in hell that I would believe that humans wouldn't have hated meta-humans if it wasn't for Sublime" Nemuri said with a serious look on her face. Nemuri released a sigh and sat down on Sublime's chair.

"It's in human nature to hate what you don't understand and fear the unknown… they would have always hated the meta-humans" Nemuri said and turned the monitor of Sublime's computer in my direction.

"Looks familiar?" Nemuri pointed me at the display and asked me. It was the same Sentinel that we saw the scientists were working on. I immediately checked on the details and found that it was currently being called Sentinel M and not Sentinel Mk X which was shown in the movie X-Men Days of Future Past. This Sentinel didn't have the morphing ability or the meta-humans power absorption ability which they got from Raven and Rogue.

These Sentinels only had the power of flight, telekinesis, and energy blasts. These Sentinels were specifically designed with Magneto in their mind… they only used metals that didn't have any magnetic properties but what they didn't know is that I didn't need the metals to have a magnetic property to control them… if they were metals I would be able to control them…

These sentinels were also being designed for hunting… once activated they will start to collect information. If someone is able to destroy these Sentinels, then the Sentinels will send complete data of the meta-humans back to their database… the theory was something similar to what was used in the Incredibles movie. Omnidroid v.10 was designed in a similar manner by Buddy Pine.

Currently, these Sentinels weren't a threat to meta-humans. Most able meta-humans would be able to defeat these with some effort but in the future, they will be strong… very strong.

"I have to say these guys are really working hard… there were at least able to make a prototype" I said with a low whistle, no matter what these guys were doing but what they have achieved here must be praised. No matter if what they are doing here is evil, it can't be denied that it is great.

"Well, in that regard I agree with you" Nemuri said and pulled out the next project. I was slightly surprised but I was kind of expecting this… Sublime had already started to work on the Weapon Plus program but currently, everything was theoretical.

"Can you move all the data to Elysium?" I asked Nemuri who simply nodded her head and connected the computer with Nemuri's laptop on Elysium and she started to transfer all the data on the computer. I checked the time and about 15 minutes have already passed so I had 45 minutes before I needed to appear on the roof of the tallest building.

"Nemuri check if there are any meta-humans imprisoned in here" I nudged Nemuri who nodded her head and started to check the information about meta-humans. Sublime's computer was directly connected to the mainframe with Administrator rights… that is why Nemuri didn't have any problem accessing all the data. She even stole the data of these Sentinels. Unfortunately, there were no meta-humans imprisoned here. So, we decided to simply leave… I had promised that I won't be attacking the city before my given time ends so I decided to leave the base and the sentinels intact for now.

"Are we going back to Elysium?" Nemuri asked me after the data transfer was complete.

"Yes, I need to get my armor… there is no way I am going to fight in these clothes" I spoke gesturing towards my clothes. Nemuri also nodded her head as she knew that armor was important in a fight even if you are wearing it just for the show.

With that, we disappeared from the place and arrived back on Elysium inside our room. Thankfully the girls weren't here… I was most worried about Fleur because she would have started to fuss about clothes and all. Unfortunately, the girls had noticed my arrival and they decided to pop up, and just like I had thought Fleur started to fuss with my clothes.

"Non, this won't do… you need some fittings and color improvements on your armor" Fleur said and vanished all of my clothes from my body, the clothes ended up on the floor in a neat pile. Once again I had to become Fleur's personal dressing-up doll. Thankfully she was quite happy with the armor and she was done only with some minor changes.

"Now… now you are looking like a Supervillain who is going to destroy a whole city. Well, good luck" Fleur said and gave me a passionate kiss… the other girls also followed. I was quite surprised to see that the girls didn't have any problem with me destroying a whole city and killing people… they might be getting used to their bloodlines or they might have already gotten used to it.

I know Luna knows about my killings, Rumi had watched me destroy a whole city firsthand, Momo also knows about my killings… Nemuri's ideals are also similar to mine. Fleur had also grown accustomed to the idea and that leaves only Dora… I don't know what she thinks… but I don't think that she overly minds it.

With that finally done I finally appeared back in Nebraska City. It was almost time so I decided to make my appearance on the tallest building. I could already feel all the metals moving around the city… I just hope that they had planned to evacuate the citizens instead of picking up a fight with me. With that thought, I started to float up in the air and blasted off towards the tallest building…
