Bab 194: Ch. 187 - Fighting the Omnidroids

Quickly backflipping, Tigress successfully avoided the Omnidroid who heavily landed on her previous position, destroying the ground and making a small crater in the process.

"You must be the Omnidroid." Having been informed by Jin about these Omnidroids and how they're used against them supers, Tigress remained slightly cautious according to Jin.

Jin told them that the Omnidroids aren't dangerous because of their strength, but because of their ability to exploit a Super's weakness mid-battle.

For example, the Supers was detected that it is weak in close combat, the Omnidroid would utilize that weakness and engage more in close combat against that Super.

Another example would be if the Super lacked the ability to fly, then the Omnidroid would utilize that and use its flight to its own advantage.

This is the reason why Omnidroids are lethal not in their strength but their capability to detect weaknesses of their opponents and use it to their own advantage.

It's like bearing Sun Tzu's principle which is to Know Your Enemy.

"Come." Receiving no response from the Omnidroid, Tigress assumed that the Omnidroids aren't designed for communication.

As if responding to Tigress's challenge, the Omnidroid swung its tentacles towards Tigress, intending to smash Tigress into a mush pile of flesh.

Unfortunately for the Omnidroid, Tigress could intercept its every move and dodged them with ease.

As soon as Tigress jumped back, the ground in front of her was smashed with a tentacle. She quickly took advantage of the opportunity and swiftly grabbed the tentacle, which was larger than two times of her size, making Tigress bear hug the tentacle.

"Haaahhh!" Mustering her strength, Tigress's feet cracked and sank on the ground as two small craters were formed underneath her feet.

At the same time, Tigress successlly lifted the tentacle and before the Omnidroid could try to take control his tentacle to sway Tigress off of the tentacle, Tigress shifted positions and she's now facing her behind while the tentacle is now slumped off on her shoulder.

"Take this!"

Tigress yelled and with one quick push, the Omnidroid could only confusingly look at its rotating front before getting smashed on the ground.

*Boom!*

Not giving the Omnidroid some chance to move, Tigress immediately jumped on its body.

Looking at its head that is looking back at her, Tigress cast a smirk before gathering some strength on her fist and smashed them on the Omnidroid's head.

*Bam!*

Seeing the head getting detached from its body, Tigress breathed in relief while patting her palms.

Just as she jumped off the Omnidroid's body and landed back on the ground, Tigress's senses suddenly picked up an attack from behind before quickly dodging.

"It could still move without its head?" Staring at the Omnidroid who started standing up despite having no head, Tigress was surprised. She thought that the Omnidroid would die without a head similar to how living beings are supposed to die.

But seeing it standing back up and starting to attack her again, Tigress quickly pushed these thoughts away and dodged the attack of the Omnidroid in a swift manner.

*Bam!*

"How do I kill it then?" Tigress muttered to herself while eyeing the Omnidroid's metallic ball body, trying to find any weaknesses.

Before Tigress could further find its weakness, a tentacle was pulled into its body before being replaced by a tentacle carrying a minigun.

Widening her eyes, Tigress quickly used her chi to make a barrier in front of her.

*Bang!* x50

Facing the large armor piercing bullets hitting her chi barrier, Tigress could see some cracks slowly appearing on the barrier, indicating that being bombarded with armor piercing bullets of the minigun is enough to destroy her chi barrier.

And repairing her chi barrier using her chi reserves would only be useless except for giving her some time.

So Tigress quickly abandoned the idea and swiftly disappeared from her place just in time for the chi barrier to crumble into pieces before smashing the ground where she used to stand, causing a cloud of dust to form.

***

"She's dead for sure!" Inside Syndrome's office, he quickly cheered while watching through the cameras he placed all over the island capturing everyone happening inside.

After seeing Tigress disappear under the hail of bullets and the clouds of dust, Syndrome quickly assumed that the tigress superhero must be torn into pieces of flesh, leaving nothing but a pile of blood.

Even Mirage was shocked and felt sympathy for another 'fallen' superhero.

However, after the cloud of dust dispersed, both Syndrome and Mirage were shocked to see nothing except for bullet holes on the ground.

"Huh? Where is she? Did she perhaps turned into nothingness after being torn into pieces?" Syndrome confusingly pondered while staring at the screen.

Meanwhile, back to the destroyed forest, as soon as the Omnidroid saw no sign of Tigress, it quickly assumed that its mission of eradicating trespassers was already done, so it quickly turned around and was about to leave.

However, before it could do so, a large tree suddenly flew horizontally towards the Omnidroid.

*Boom!*

Having a heavy weight combined with its speed, the momentum of the flying tree is enough to pierce through the middle body of the Omnidroid.

Staring at the large hole on its body, Syndrome and Mirage could only watch as the Omnidroid that he specially created for Tigress fell on the ground.

Watching as the Tigress that is supposed to be dead walking away from the scene, probably to find the others, Syndrome quickly reacted and tapped in a command while shouting to no one.

"Send the Goons!" Which refers to an average Omnidroid, it isn't anything special except for its basic functions and program unlike the Omnidroids that he specially designed for each Supers in the world.

Seeing his state, Mirage could only shake her head, though she was happy inside her mind that Tigress survived and walked away just fine. She's sure that Tigress would be able to handle the Goons just fine.

***

At the same time as Tigress fightng her Omnidroid, Mavis landed on the ground after shifting back to her humanoid form.

*Inhale!*

"Haaahh!" Taking in the fresh air through her nostrils, Mavis closed her eyes in pleasure.

"Fresh air!"

However, before Mavis could continue inhaling and exhaling, her senses suddenly picked up a very fast projectile heading towards her.

Quickly stepping aside, letting 'projectile' hit the tree in front of her.

Looking on her side, Mavis could finally see what the projectile looks like.

"Is this a metal string? But isn't it too large to be a string?" Mavis scratched her head and said in confusion.

Before Mavis could further question the metal string, the said string detached from the tree and flew back to where it came from, making Mavis turn around to see where or who it belongs too.

As soon as she did, Mavis was faced with the Omnidroid, which is a lot smaller than the Omnidroid that Tigress fought.

"You must be the Omnidroid, right? You're smaller than I thought." Mavis said, expecting a response but after receiving no reply, Mavis sighed, thinking that the fight would be full and boring.

This is a hobby that she has formed during her times of fighting crime, she has grown to like communicating with her opponents to make the fight exciting for her.

If Jin were to hear her thoughts, he would definitely be reminded of Spider Man who likes to ridicule his opponents whenever he can.

*Swoosh!*

While talking, Mavis was suddenly surprised when the Omnidroid launched two of its tentacles towards her, forcing her to stop running her mouth and turn into a bat before she flew down, effectively dodging the attack.

"Hey! I'm still talking! You' re rude!" Mavis yelled angrily, although she's still blabbering her mouth, but she's already moving towards the Omnidroid, preparing to fight it.

*Szrzrzrzrzrzr!*

Seeing Mavis dashing towards it, the two tentacles she dodged earlier quickly turned into a pair of rotating blades before chasing after Mavis's bat form.

*Gasp!*

Gasping in shock after seeing the two blades chasing after her, Mavis quickly closed in with the Omnidroid and flew underneath it while still being followed by blades.

However, due to the blades being connected to the Omnidroid's tentacles, what do you think will happen if it flew underneath it?

*Boom!*

Just as the blade reached its maximum length, the Omnidroid suddenly flipped backward and crashed on the ground very hard.

"Haha! That's what you deserve for interrupting me!" Seeing the Omnidroid's predicament, Mavis took this chance to blabber her mouth again and mock it.

However, just as Mavis was about to pose in victory, the rotating blades that have reached its maximum length suddenly detached from its tentacles before being boosted by a flame behind it, slowly catching up to Mavis.

"Uh-oh!" Seeing this, Mavis quickly stopped her mouth from running and flew back to her human form, allowing the gravity to pull her back down on the ground, effectively dodging the pair of rotating blades once again.

However, just as she smoothly landed on the ground, the pair of rotating blades suddenly made a U-turn and followed Mavis back down on the ground.

"Alright, out of everyone I fought, you'll be on top of my most annoying enemies!"

***

At the same time as Mavis meeting her own Omnidroid, the others also landed on the ground and met their own Omnidroids.

However, out of all of them who are facing their own Omnidroids, Jin is the only exception, quietly waiting for his Omnidroid to attack him.

"Did Syndrome forget about me?" He wondered.

Bab 195: Ch. 188 - A Traitor!

Just as Jin was wondering if Syndrome somehow forgot to send an Omnidroid on him, his senses suddenly picked up someone in the sky, guessing from how long this particular someone has been staying on the sky, Jin could guess that this guy is either flying or riding a plane or chopper.

But after looking up to get his answer, Jin was surprised to see a white armored robot flying in the sky like Iron Man from Marvel.

'Did I accidentally stumble in a Marvel Universe?' Jin asked himself with a scratch on the back of his head.

Before he could further wonder about the flying white robot, the said robot finally made it's move.

Suddenly somersaulting towards him, Jin quickly teleported away just in time for the white robot to land on the ground, smashing heavily on the dirt.

"Cough...Cough! Can't you land more softly?" Pretending as if he was affected by the dusts and pebbles, Jin coughed and waved his hand in front of him as if waving off the dust.

"Lock mode: Lucifer. Initiating Elimination Sequence!" As soon as the white robot stood from the ground and directed it's black eyes on him, the said eyes quickie turned red as if activating some kind of kill mode.

"Is that your other word for killing me?" Jin joked and before he could laugh at his own joke, the white robot raised his arm and pointed it at Jin.

The hand then transformed into a cannon before shooting red concentrated hot beams towards Jin with the full intention to kill.

*Fwoosh!* x10

Ten consecutive red beams of light flew out of the cannon and headed towards Jin, who dodged all of them with ease only to be met with a wide net with electric shocks just a few inches away from him soon after he dodged those beams.

'It seems like this is intended to be a surprise attack to prevent me from teleporting by constantly shocking me with electric.' Looking at the electric net trap and how it was thrown over him which contains a hint of surprise, Jin could already deduce Syndrome's plan to capture or kill him.

Too bad for Syndrome, he only knows that Lucifer has teleportion and strong constitution that allows him to tank several bullets and defeat his foes easily.

What Syndrome probably didn't know is that Jin's reaction time is almost near capable of seeing the future.

This is not because of a chi technique or something. This is all simply Jin's physical senses that allowed him to be capable of doing this. Jin speculated that it might be related to his pastself as Lucifer, considering that he's the other half of Lucifer and have the half of his powers.

Much to Syndrome and Mirage's shock, Jin disappeared in time just as the electric net trap was about to catch him.

"What?! How did he even react to that!?" Standing up from his seat, Syndrome was shocked that his first plan to deal with Lucifer has gone to waste.

Now, he can only rely on his plan B, which is to use the other Supers to threaten Lucifer to surrender himself.

Unfortunately for Syndrome, the moment he invited Jin, his entire life is already doomed to fail.

***

Putting Jin's fight aside, Elsa was also having her fun by fighting her own Omnidroid, albeit she's having a hard time due to the Omnidroid's resistance against her ice and the fact that all of its weapons contains anything related to flame and heat, making it hard for her to move around and fight the Omnidroid.

*Swoosh!*

Using her ice to impede the Omnidroid's movement, Elsa was trying to give herself some time to think about how to defeat the Omnidroid in front of her.

Before she could even think for 10 seconds, the Omnidroid passively melted the ice on its body and started to move again, while its tentacles constantly releases flames out of the tip of its fingers.

*FWOOOSH!*

Feeling the heat coming out of the flames, Elsa unknowingly wiped off the sweat that is accumulating on her forehead.

"It's getting hot." Elsa breathed heavily, due to the flames, even her surroundings are now caught on fire and if this goes on any longer, she might have to resort on using her full power to prevent the fire from spreading.

However, she doesn't want to do that yet. She wanted to improve in both her skills and power. She doesn't to rely on her pure raw power to solve all her problems.

If there's something she learned from Jin, it's how she must learn how to preserve her energy and not waste it.

"Focus Elsa, use your mind. Be creative!" Closing her eyes despite the heat and the incoming flame towards her, Elsa ignored them and focused. Perhaps being in the state of life and death, she would be able to comprehend what her powers truly meant to her.

***

In Syndrome's office, Syndrome was jumping in excitement, thinking that once he captured Snow, he would be able to use her to make Lucifer and the other surrender to him.

Unknown to him, his most trusted assistant behind him was feeling sympathy towards Snow, someone who has just appeared in the public to use her powers for good and because of that, she became the target of Syndrome and about to die at such an early age.

Something that Mirage can't bear to see.

So she sneakily glanced at her boss, Syndrome and after seeing that he's too focused on watching the screen before taking out her tablet.

Syndrome might not know this because he was drunk at that time but, Mirage manage to gain access of the codes and passwords that Syndrome controls on his project Kronos.

Don't ask her how she did it, just know that she went to great lengths just to have it. Almost risking exposing her secret identity as the Government spy, who is tasked to spy on Syndrome and monitor his moves something that she has been doing for almost 5 years since Syndrome first went famous on the underworld where he slowly climbed and became known as one of the most notorious arms dealer in the world.

'This should at least help Snow.' Mirage muttered to herself before typing several commands on her tablet before closing it and watching back on the screen.

***

Back to Snow's fight, just as the Omnidroid was about to successfully burn Elsa alive, the Omnidroid suddenly stopped in his tracks before turning around to leave, much to everyone's shock including Snow herself who was just about to defend herself after finally realizing what she was missing all this time!

"What the? What's happening!!?" Seeing how the Omnidroid who was about to kill Elsa earlier turned around and left, Syndrome quickly accesses his computer and typed in his code of Project Kronos, which holds that data of the Omnidroids, their purpose, their designs, their abilities, their systems and finally, the control over them.

"Damn it! Someone messed with the system!" After a look a realization, Syndrome grew angry before fixing the malfunction of the Omnidroid.

***

Just as Elsa was confused and about to have some space to breath, she saw that the Omnidroid turned back towards her again and resumed its fire assault towards her.

This time, Elsa is now more confident as she could finally use her powers more effectively without wasting too much energy.

Moving her feet, Elsa stomped on the ground very hard, causing the entire floor to freeze, which also coated the tentacles feet of the Omnidroid.

Sure, this might not be effective as the tentacles soon melted the ice and stepped forward and just as it did so, the tentacles froze once.

This gave enough time for Elsa to get close to the Omnidroid and touched its ball-like body.

"Freeze!" Elsa shouted before coating the part of where her hand is touching with ice.

It might seem useless at first glance but if you look at the inside, you'll see that it is frozen and the core of the Omnidroid itself has stopped pulsating.

*Boom!*

Similar to an ice, the Omnidroid froze in it's tracks before slowly falling backward.

"Fwoooo~ that was a bit intense." Wiping the remaining sweat on her forehead, Elsa sighed in relief before turning around and realizing that the fire is spreading quickly!

"Oh!" And so, she immediately used her ice powers to put them out.

***

"How? HOW?! How can this be possible?! If it wasn't for that stupid malfunction, this wouldn't have happened!" Syndrome smashed the keyboard in front of him out of pure anger before turning around and pointed his finger at Mirage, who silently gasped in shock.

"You!"

'...Did I get caught?' Saying this to herself, Mirage gulped saliva nervously before responding to Syndrome. She knows what happened to spies and why they're one of the most dangerous jobs affiliated by the government.

"Yes, sir?"

"...I need you to find the traitor! I can't trust anyone else here except you, so catch that traitor for me!" Syndrome continued before turning around and sat back down.

"And bring me another keyboard!"

Seeing that she wasn't caught, Mirage sighed in relief before turning around to do what Syndrome ordered.

Thankfully, she has worked under Syndrome for 5 years, which is enough time for her to get his trust, something that wasn't easy to get considering her beauty.

'Now, all that's left is Blondie, right? Hopefully, she's just fine because the Omnidroid sent to her is just a normal one with a few more blades than average.' Mirage said to herself before exiting Syndrome's office.
