Chapter 56: Second Chance

Date 7th July 2027

Time 8:20

Location Earth, Russia, Shlisselburg village, shlisselburg fortress

A few months ago I was a world-renowned scientist, inventor and entrepreneur but now I am a world leader. I had to step up since my people needed me to. But now I am one of the culprits responsible for the deaths of 153 million lives. 

I did not know how my new colleagues slept but I could not close my eyes for a second as the lost souls haunted my sleep. 

The alliance right now was an empty shell most of its members have become neutral some even considered surrendering to Viltronian, it all depended upon today's mission if it was successful all is well and good but if we lost then I can not imagine the future of humankind.

After our ambush at Navi Mumbai, we know Viltronian was not invisible he too bleeds like the average human. That bastard was injured we did not know the degree of injury to him but it was enough to send him into hiding. I don't know if we can call this hiding, after all, we did find him in minutes seizing the shlisselburg fortress.

This time we had to draw him out so that the snipers with new modified alloy bullets could take him down, to make sure he doesn't run away as he did in Navi Mumbai the whole village was surrounded with anti-tank and assault missiles filled with modified alloy shrapnel.

The hostile was engaged, the first modified alloy bullet lodged into his left eye but it did not take him down, then he was bombarded with the modified missiles which only managed to cut his skin but did not do any substantial damage to him. He then displayed an enhanced healing factor for the first time. 

Superhuman strength, senses, flight, speed, and now superhuman recovery he is a total monster. The mission was a fail. 

After this 2/3rd of world leaders surrendered to Viltronian as their countries could not tolerate any more civil chaos if their situation continued as it is now their countries would go bankrupt, so it was in their best interests to surrender to Viltronian as the other stronger allies would not help them out as they were themselves busy keeping their countries afloat. 

After the failed mission in Russia, I went into hiding but Viltronian who had lost his left eye because of me took out his anger by killing all my friends, family and relatives. 

It was no longer a fight for humanity for me but a struggle for revenge. Blinded by revenge I took part in the taboo of any scientist, human experimentation. 

Since our weapons cannot kill him I decided to create superhumans of my own to kill that bastard. 

Using the body fluids and other DNA materials we collected from his body back in the military base I along with other select few scientists invented a superhuman serum. 

During this research process, we were able to uncover some shocking truth about Viltronian's superpowers. 

Turns out that Viltronian is 100,450 years old, his superpower is such that it progresses with the host's age. Meaning that the older a Viltronian gets the stronger he grows. 

Due to this property of Viltronian's powers the superhuman serum we developed was of no use against him, as 2 to 4-month-old superhuman amounted to ants in the eyes of 100,450-year-old Viltronian. 

This drawback of superhuman serum did not matter to other world powers, they started to mass-produce the superhuman serum creating a superhuman army to fight against Viltronian and his vassal world leaders. 

But this road bump did not stop me, as I thought of creating a biological weapon targeting the Viltronian DNA strand. Which harmed the interests of both the world leaders and Viltronian causing 3/4th of the world power to turn against me. 

Now that even my allies were against me and conspired to kill me, I had to rule with an iron fist to hold whatever power I had. I was no longer a world-renowned scientist, inventor and entrepreneur but a warlord, mass murderer, dictator and mad scientist.

By now the whole world had submitted to Viltronian and the mass production of the superhuman serum was in full swing. Viltronian did not oppose superhuman serum production. Instead, he helped enhance it and declared that he would provide superhuman serum to every one of his followers. 

Earth had fallen into chaos 200 or so countries now divided into 17,800 small countries ruled by enhanced humans. In this new era, the enhanced humans were kings and the rest of humanity were reduced to mere slaves, while Viltronian was their Supreme Emperor.

It took me months to find a biological agent strong enough to kill Viltronian DNA. During this time world leaders conspired many times to assassinate me and failed. 

But by the time I had prepared the biological weapon targeting Viltronian DNA the earth as I know was gone, what remained was the Viltronian empire. For all this, I was to blame.

If I had not created the superhuman serum in the first place it would not be so easy for Viltronian to take over the earth. As I looked back to see what I did to save the earth I could only see heaps and heaps of dead human corpses with no results. 

And now I would have to kill millions more to get rid of the Viltronian pests infesting the earth. If I released the biological weapon it would not only kill Viltronian but all the humans containing Viltronian DNA, that is all the people who took superhuman serum would also die, amounting to millions of dead humans.

I tried to comfort myself by saying that they deserved it as they treated their fellow humans worse than slaves but who am I to judge them, I had my hands bloodied with innocent blood too who will judge me and my crimes. In the name of the greater good, I had sinned beyond redemption. 

After I released the biological weapon in the air, I watched it kill all the superhumans one by one finally killing Viltronian. After seeing the Viltronian's corpse with my own eyes and destroying his corpse with a nuclear bomb I felt assured of his death. 

I would be naive to think the earth would return to its previous self with the deaths of Viltronian and Superhumans. Since our goal was achieved all the people supporting my cause left to get a piece of their share in the new era. While some of them banded together with the new world leaders to hunt me down and get me to create a new version of superhuman serum. 

I evaded their traps and ambush many times until I was finally caught but when I gained consciousness I was in young Wyatt's room. Knowing that I was given a second chance I decided to live a peaceful life and not repeat the same mistakes I did back on earth.

Chapter 57: Psycho Sisters

Date 21 Mar 2321

Time 16:56

Location Sky Blossom City, Fine Gold Tower 1, G1 training hall. 

I contemplated Jaya's Viltronian powers and uniform while considering whether to kill her or just continue with my new life. 

Not many… how about none, get a second life, but I was lucky enough to get one. I could stick with my last life's ways to kill every Viltronian I see or just let go as Jaya was not the one who did all those horrible things back on earth.

Why do I have to even consider this, I am no longer Dr Wyatt, I am Student Wyatt a card student and a silver card creationist. 

I bet Jaya doesn't even know what Viltronian means, to kill an entire race just because of one person's mistake seems cruel and dumb. 

Clearing my inner demons I began to analyse Jaya's strength, my history with Viltronian's made me an expert at this.

As the Viltronian's power increases with their age, Jaya being 17 years old she should be at level 1 of Viltronian power level but she is exhibiting level 2 of Viltronian power level.

Viltronian power level,

10-year-old = Level 1 = Card Student

100-year-old = Level 2 = Card Scholar 

1000-year-old = Level 3 = Card Soldier

10,000-year-old = Level 4 = Card Master 

100,000-year-old = Level 5 = Card Grandmaster

1Million-year-old = Level 6 = Card Lord

10Million-year-old = Level 7 = Card Overlord

100Million-year-old = Level 8 = Card King

1Billion-year-old =Level 9 = Card Emperor

10Billion-year-old =Level 10 = Card Demigod

So according to the Viltronian power system, Jaya should be Level 1 but she is at Level 2 because she is at Card Scholar realm. Thanks to her grimoire Jaya was able to break the limitation of the Viltronian race. 

In my last life when I created the superhuman serum I tried to overcome the limitation of the Viltronian race using different means but to no end, to think the answer laid within active soul control.

Fu<k! To think Viltronian was near invincible and God-like with just the star power of a Card Grandmaster and the body of a B-rank Beast back in my past life. Right now I feel ashamed thinking it took the entire earth to bring down a B-rank Beast. 

Card apprentice and Beasts of the same rank have different physical and star prowess, one is good at star power control while the other is good at enhancing the physical body with star power. But a Viltronian can achieve both simultaneously. 

But Viltronian's speciality is not in their superhuman strength, speed or senses but their superhuman healing factor, superhuman adaptability and unbelievably long lifespan. Their prowess makes them near-immortal, if they just sleep for 10 billion years they can have the power of a Card Demigod and body of SSS rank Beast.  

So Jaya's Origin card gave her enhanced strength, speed, body, flight, regeneration, senses, adaptability and unbelievably long lifespan. Jaya's talent in the cultivation of active soul control has also increased considerably as Viltronian's gain increased active soul control with their growing age.

All this ability may seem less important but a grimoire of card apprentice can only hold a limited number of Active/passive/item cards, thanks to her origin card Jaya no longer has to care about equipping cards of these abilities, freeing up space for other needed cards. 

Most card apprentices are weak at close combat and defence as they end up focusing on other cards which are as important, but thanks to her origin card now Jaya is an all-rounder and invincible in the same rank.

After flying around the training hall and testing the other abilities of her origin card Jaya floated in front of Diana as her cape fluttered with the air and asked, "Sister how do I look?" 

"Good" Diana replied without thinking. 

"You are no fun!" Said Jaya and looked around the training hall as if trying to find someone, right then the elevator opened and Cindy walked into the training hall saying, "Madam, you have a meeting scheduled at 17:20 with dignitaries from Jk Grain and Oil Ltd." 

Cindy reported to Diana but her eyes were on floating Jaya in a glittering grey bodysuit. Jaya noticed Cindy's gaze and excitedly asked, "Cindy how do I look? Isn't my Origin card ability awesome?" 

After hearing Jaya, Cindy's body started trembling and facing Diana she knelt on both knees pleading guilty, "Madam it's my fault I was careless and did not perform my job properly. Please punish me." Seeing Cindy kneel Jaya smirked as if taking pleasure in Cindy's misery.

First I thought Cindy was overreacting but looking around the training hall and everybody acted as it was normal, I shuddered thinking about my fate as the one who helped Jaya create her Origin card. 

Diana's eyes lingered at kneeling Cindy emotionlessly and she spoke, "Are all the arrangements for the dignitaries taken care of." 

"Yes ma'am, the dignitaries from Jk grain and oil Ltd have checked into the company resort and I have asked my secretary to escort and assist them during their stay," Cindy replied respectfully, still kneeling. It was her job to make sure Jaya does not do stupid things but she failed. 

"Good, after the meeting confine yourself in Heathen Stone prison for 2 hours as your punishment" Diana ordered flatly.

Hearing Diana's order Cindy's body trembled harder, it's understandable as Heathen stone prison sends the prisoner to an infinite illusion where one lives his/her worst nightmare intensifying their inner demon. 

1 minute in the illusion is equal to years out here, enough to make a person go crazy but to spend 2 hours in it, I would not wish it on my enemy. Even if Cindy manages to keep her sanity after coming out of the confinement. She will have nightmares for months. Fu<k! She is as ruthless as described.

Hearing the punishment for Cindy, Jaya's smirk froze but she did not voice to help Cindy. 

I was compassionate about Cindy but she chose this line of work and must have been mentally prepared for these kinds of things.

Diana left the training hall as the people in black followed her, Cindy got up and hurriedly followed them. 

Seeing this I sighed in relief but then Jaya floated next to me mischievously and asked, "How do I look?"

I stared at her with dumbfounded eyes and did not know how to answer her, I felt like walking on eggshells around these psycho sisters. 

"I am waiting!" said Jaya impatiently.

"Sorry, I was lost in your charm. You look like a heroic female general." 

"Ugh! Can't you be more sincere?" Saying that she headed towards the elevator and left.

I would be pissed right now if not for my grimoire receiving a notification right then.
