Lying back first on my bed and eating popcorn made by yours truly, I once again marvel at how fast the psyche of most Parahumans crumble when they get their powers.
I watch through my monitors as a girl of half-Japanese descent swears profanities and aggressively tinkers various bombs with a plan of taking her school hostage because of a bad grade…
Ehhhh! Is that really worth destroying a school over? And if you are complaining about a B+ grade, what should the people who scored lower do? Destroy the world? Sheeesh, you are such a good student aren't you? I didn't think there were actually people who liked schools like this.
*Sighs*
As expected, I don't want to deal with something like this.
I swing my right hand in a sideways chop with just a little bit of strength and it connects with the back of a neck, on the monitor, the girl collapses.
My spider clone puts a paper bag with eye holes on her head, ties her hands and feet with a rope, with that done, I teleport her into a cell in the New York Protectorate building along with a note and location of her attempted crime, yeah they can deal with her themselves.
Now then, I guess I'll continue working on my plans for the final boss
◇◇◇
Tonight in Brockton bay there are two not so major events going on and I have them displayed live on my monitors
"Bitch! Go right!" A girl in a skin-tight black and purple body suit on top of a giant dog tells her team mate who is also riding on a giant dog as black smoke spills out around the alley from behind them.
There are a total of four individuals who identify as villains and they are called the Undersiders.
These guys just carried out a real life heist on a casino on the outskirts of the city, I wonder why they decided to do something so big when they have been content with being small time so far. Is this one of those 'street cred' things you always see in yakuza movies?
So far they have always been able to get the drop on their opponents because of how their abilities synergize with one another, and with their own personal Sherlock Holmes, they always know when to flee a scene.
Well, I don't think they would be getting caught anytime soon but with how they seem to be escalating, who knows? At the very least they seem to be treating the whole villain thing as a game right?
I bite on my red bean buns. Delicious
The second not so major event but close, happening today is Buggy's fight against a cape. Ehhhh, doesn't it seem like this girl is power leveling?
You are already taking down capes?
She made her debut a few days ago where she took down some of the drug dealer guys and even saved a young black girl, although she might have regretted that since the girl was such a pain in the ass.
And then she met the hero, Assault who explained some things to her she didn't know before, although she rejected the subtle invitation to the 'kids program', she left the scene in a happy mood.
To be honest, I'm surprised at how competent she seems. When she adorns her costume, she all of a sudden gains confidence that it's almost unbelievable to think it's the same Buggy who lets her bullies walk over her.
I definitely didn't use [Evil Eye of Analysis] and [X-Ray vision] on her to check if she might have been mind-swapped, not at all.
She has been patrolling everyday since then and successfully taking out unpowered members of various gangs.
Although she's just a bit serious than others, I assume that is because the bay holds more sentimental value for her than most.
And right now, she stands before two groaning capes who can't even move a finger, retrieving a phone from her utility belt, and dials a number.
"Hello, this is Creed, a new— oh okay… that makes things easier. I'm downtown at 44s, a short walk before 'Dine 'N' Dash'. I've apprehended Skidmark and Squealer, I'd like some assistance on how to proceed… okay thank you, I'll wait."
Yes, she just took out the ring leaders of the drug people and honestly? It wasn't even a fight. They didn't stand a chance.
She fights like an assassin, she does not confront her opponents until they are down for the count and since she has been practicing seeing through her bugs, while not perfect, it seems to help her greatly.
She's building a reputation already, with her outfit and her power over bugs, I understand why her opponent gets scared when they see her.
I guess she went for the 'dark hero' aesthetics huh.
Gambare Buggy!
I look around my room which has little squared monitors spread out over every single surface that I actually have to step on them to walk around, displayed in them are alternate worlds.
I guess I have to work hard as well
◇◇◇
You know, I have purposely left this man alone since it seemed like he was one of the few who doesn't actually cause damages or go out of his way to seek fights.
And then how does he repay my goodwill? By planning to kidnap a 12 year old girl. Yes people, this man is not only a lolicon, but he is a degenerate as well. Does he think his admittedly cool lair means he can just do whatever he wants?
He is the same one that tried to hire those group of kids I sent back home. Just what is your problem anyways?
You would think that someone who seemingly has the power to control probability would have bigger dreams or something but no, what he wants is to take over the city— and it's not like there is anything special about the city either— and rule it like a king. Don't test me reptile, I have fell a kingdom before and I'm not afraid to do it again!
Sitting in a beach chair, wearing a white and purplish-pink bikini, with same colored scarf tied around my waist and a dark shade to go with it, I aggressively sip on my tropical fizz. Hmph!
Oh? Are you curious where I am? Well, you see, I'm on the beach!!! What's that? Why am I on the beach even though I'm a neet? Oi! Isn't that rude? I can definitely go outside if I put my mind into it you know… as long as there is no one else around… in the world.
Hey! Don't judge me! It can't be helped.
I am currently in an empty alternate world and after doing what I came here for, I decided to indulge a little, is that so wrong?
It's not like it's the end of the world.
And besides, I have a lot of my spiders around isolating this world so that means no one can or would notice I'm here, I have to take heavy precautions after all.
Anyway, back on the topic of the reptile, I just teleport him into the place called the 'Birdcage' he's on timeout till he learns to be a decent human being.
'But Shiro, is it possible for someone to become a decent human being while in the birdcage' you say?… Then I guess he will be there till whenever then.
After that, I teleport the Sherlock Holmes girl right into the reptile's office in the base after defusing every trap and everything underhanded. I send a note as well which reads "Reptile in time out. You're boss now. Don't screw up."
Ah, I helped her get out of a villain's thumb, meanwhile I can't even get out of D's.
*Sighs*
Even a god like me has it hard.
I don't bother to continue observing her as I stand up from my recliner and then stretch my body.
There is just something about every worlds in this place that wears on my soul. I want to leave here as soon as possible.
So.
I guess I'm as ready I can be.
Alright then final boss, let's do this!
