3rd Pov

"Time for payback," Y/n said.

"Huh, why would I pay you back, loser?!" George shouted cockily. "I deserve it! And you! You are just my lackey in the first place!"

".....Whatever." Y/n retorted before instantly appearing in front of George and punching him straight in the face. A few of his teeth fly out. George tried to land a hit but Y/n deflected him angering him further.

"Hngh!" George grunted trying to punch Y/n using his right hand but Y/n used his sheathed sword deflecting his punch and avoiding the explosion he secretly made.

Y/n then put his foot on George's foot rendering him in one place. Y/n stored his sword and began to box his face and he landed one hit to his face.

"Guhk!" George grunted trying to avoid it but Y/n's feet blocked his movement. Then, he gets another one in at his rib. "Gahk!" George shouted in pain but Y/n didn't stop. He then punches George's face again.

Fire then lit up whole George's body and Y/n noticed this and his body emitting E.M. energy protecting his whole body.

"Oh, no. You don't." Y/n said before putting out both of his hands shocked George.

"Gagahk! Kreeght! Kahkk!" George shouted before Y/n lifted his foot that pinned George's foot. Y/n then turned around and kicked him while he was still electrocuted.

"Guhk!" George grunted before crashing away.

Meanwhile with Fenrir Squad.

"Damn it. Why is she so hard to hit?!" Mina shouted before shooting Seo Yoon who dodged nimbly.

Hilde then observes Seo Yoon's eye and notices that there are white circle. "No wonder, she already adapted to our attack."

"What? Oh, right, Ascension Factor..." Shi Yoon said.

"How are we supposed to beat her now?!" Mina said still shooting.

"Simple, we overcome her adaptation limit or force her to adapt because Robot's factor takes time to adjust," Hilde said resolutely.

"And how are we going to do that?" Shi Yoon questioned Hilde.

"Shi Yoon, use your strongest attack. Then, I'll keep her busy along with Rookie. And Rookie, we need your sword." Hilde commanded. "Got it?!"

"Yes, Commander!" Mina and Shi Yoon shouted.

"Let's go, Robot is in bigger danger than us," Hilde said making both of them nod.

Back to Y/n

Y/n then sidestep to the right avoiding a lightning blast. The blast flies by and explodes hitting some random obstacles.

"Sarah," Y/n said looking at Sarah whose face has healed due to his factor.

"Stay still," Sarah said before standing up and using her lightning speed and try to punch Y/n but Y/n deflected it and grabbed her wrist.

Seeing this, Sarah put more energy into her wrist but Y/n was unaffected and slam her to the ground.

Then, Y/n released his hold from her wrist and Sarah was terrified.

Was Y/n always this strong? How did he do it? This was going through her mind but Y/n didn't care and ready his fist and when Sarah's head was perfectly adjacent to the ground.

"Die," Y/n said coldly.

Y/n punched her face making her hit the ground. The ground was cracked and a few earth spikes appeared as a result. Y/n then lifts his hand and finds Sarah's nose is broken beyond repair and sees the minor healing coming from his factor.

"I'll deal with you later," Y/n said.

"Damn you! Damn You! The loser should just die in front of the winner in the first place!!!" George shouted standing up. Fire then lit up covering his entire body.

".....Welcome, loser. I am about to kill you right now. Please come." Y/n said while doing a 'come on' gesture with his hand.

"You!!!" George then dashed to Y/n faster and Y/n used his knees to strike George's chin sending his head upward George tried to kick Y/n but grabbed his leg slammed him down and gripped it tight to the point a cracking sound was heard.

"Argh!!" George shouted in pain. Y/n then lifts up his leg while holding to George's ankle. Y/n's leg stomped on the knee section of George's leg further breaking his bones.

"Argh!!! My leg! My leg!!!" George shouted.

"This is the leg that runs fast and abandoned someone helpless in the past. But still not enough yet....." Y/n said.

Y/n Pov

'This guy must pay for what he did to the previous Y/n.' I thought darkly.

I let go of George's leg who was trying to reach his leg but failed. I use my E.M. power and lift him while George struggles to even break out from it. I then lift his right arm.

"Stop! Stop! Please!" George begged me but I didn't listen to his pleas because of how many times that previous Y/n was bullied by his cronies. When previous Y/n's begged to stop, they didn't. Even so far as destroying the gift for his parents which came out of his savings.

My right hand is filled with E.M. energy and position it like a karate chop. I raised my arm. George's pleas increasing. I swung downwards.

......

George's right arm has been cut by my hand and a lot of blood gushes out from where his arm used to be.

"Argh!!!!" George shouted in pain and fell to earth after I released my hold on him. He then desperately tries to stop the blood from flowing more to prevent blood loss. "Argh! My arm! MY ARM!!"

I noticed the place where his right used to be is slowly healing, albeit very slowly. It's gonna be a stump by the time it heals.

Meanwhile

"Urgh! Even with new power, aren't the difference is still vast. Looks like it's still not enough." Seo Yoon grunted. "And the core force barrier....Eyes on me, Mina! Didn't you say you were going to take me down?!"

"Haha...you can't possibly expect Mina to fall for such a trick-" Shi Yoon said before being cut off.

"Oh, I will, alright! Better yet stay there! " Mina shouted and raised her gun."I need to check someone and you're getting in the way!"

"She fell for it." Shi Yoon retorted.

"Sylvia, how's your ace coming along?!" Hilde shouted to Sylvia.

"Almost there!" Sylvia shouted. "Kyle! You have the emergency recall code on you, right? Get it ready right now!"

"You mean Freedom Strike? But this place can't be accessed via ordinary dive coordinates. Even if I call them, they...." Kyle said.

"Just do it! I'll take care of the rest." Sylvia replied.

".....Very well," Kyle said. "Kyle Wong here. Authentication Code SC-DELTA-7-4RGX. Activating emergency operation code Freedom Strike. Designate the origin of transmission as the target."

"All TASKFORCE and coalition fleet vessels that receive this transmission are to assemble at this location in accordance with Administration Agreement article CSC-7. This is a priority order. Over and Out." Kyle commanded to his comm.

..........

"Nothing happened-" Kyle said before multiple dive ships appeared.

Multiple announcements were heard.

Kyle then relays to all ships to destroy Immortal System Core.

The core then was bombarded in every direction and an explosion ensued.

Y/n Pov

I watch as all dive ships destroy the Immortal System Core.

I flicked my finger in Sarah's direction and an extremely dense blue color energy destroyed her left leg.

"Arghh!" Sarah shouted in pain holding what used to be her left leg. She grunted to ease her pain. "You think....you think this is over?"

"......." I said nothing.

"Hahaha." George laughed crazily. "You have power but you're still pretty dumb. What makes you think this is over? Hahaha...."

".....Question, will they come to you to save you or....will they abandon you to proceed with their plan?" I said to both of them.

George and Sarah are quiet after that. None of them know because I know they were treated rather nicely due to their battle talents but they don't know if they can still be useful to Syndicate goal.

Suddenly, many Replacer officers appear and point their weapons at me. I looked at them with no emotion before stomping my feet. Lightning appears around me and spreads out harming to those who come close.

I put out my comms and dial Commander.

"Robot, where are you?!" Hilde shouted.

"I'm going to you now. So, I'll see you later." I said to Hilde.

"Wait Robot-" Hilde shouted but I hung up.

'How many?' I thought to Omicron.

"200, Master.And Replacer Queen on Fenrir Squad way."

'I see....Time to fight.'

I clench my right arm and a lightning blade appears.

3rd Pov

Replacer Queen appears and strikes Shi Yoon congratulates Seo Yoon and explains about their absence which is the second Immortal System Core.

Hilde was hung up by Y/n earlier.

"Such a shame. I wanted to more Ascension Factor but I will put that matter later." RQ remarked making Hilde and Mina anxious over Y/n's safety.

"I thought you were gone for real!" Seo Yoon said with a sigh of relief.

"Don't be absurd! There's no way you'd have more than one rare artifact like Immortal System Core! You think your lame bluff will work on me?!" Sylvia shouted in shock.

"Then, I suppose I can just show you," RQ said before holding out her hand and pointing to the multiple dive ships that came earlier.

Suddenly, a high-energy output appears and shoots towards the multiple dive ship.

Then, a bolt of lightning struck the energy from above destroying the energy projectile.

"What's going on?! Why there are clouds on the Counterside?!"

"Is there a dimensional storm coming?!"

Multiple relays happened at the same time. Slowly and slowly, the winds pick up.

"Master, the wind is getting stronger...." Shi Yoon said to Hilde who is looking at RQ.

"You've done it now," Hilde said to RQ who also has a white circle around her pupil.

"....." RQ said nothing and pondered.

'wait, where is the team I sent to retrieve the treasure?' RQ thought before looking around. 'i haven't heard from them since....Don't tell me?!'

'But the teams is enough to give Deputy Commander trouble, how can they....' RQ thought with a frown.

Suddenly, the lightning strikes a far place and continues hitting again and again.

"Wait, that place?!" RQ shouted but a bolt of lightning hit her burning her instantly like a cooked chicken. "Argh!!! Hahuhahu...." RQ panted but slowly healing recovering her skin as well. "Urgh!"

Again and again, the lightning struck at the same place until it appeared to grab something and lift it from underground. The ship was coated in electricity but it was shielded by an energy shield generated by said ship.

"That-that ship! What's it doing over there?!" Sylvia said in shock.

"Hey, what about that ship?! Is there something you know about that ship?" Mina asked.

"........" Sylvia was too much in shock to answer.

Mina was about to shout but Kyle answered her.

"Strategic....stealth cruiser. New Ohio. It was once the flagship of Delta Seven." Kyle answered Mina.

"What?" Mina said.

Suddenly, the ship is being thrown away by the lightning coating it and it disappears making New Ohio fly out in the open.

Many were in shock as to what had happened earlier and someone spoke and threw two people who burned badly one of them loses a leg and one lost an arm.

"I think this is supposed to be yours," Y/n said taking RQ attention.

RQ looks at both of them lying on the ground.

"Make no mistake. They are pretty much alive, only 'slightly'." Y/n said making RQ hesitate.

"Robot," Hilde said and Y/n turned to her.

Y/n Pov

I turned to Hilde and said.

"I'm alright. No harm whatsoever."

Hilde sighed in relief and a vein popped on her forehead.

"We will talk about this later, your machine," Hilde said with a seething anger.

'Sweet Mama Mia, I shouldn't do that next time.' I thought sweatdropped.

Then, a comms calls and it appears a bald brown man in a suit.

"Long time no see. Kyle....and Sylvia." Replacer King said and I looked at him with a poker face.

"That voice. No way. A-aren't you supposed to be dead?" Sylvia asked in surprise.

"Regrettably, my life force has proven more tenacious than expected." RK replied."Even if it's someone unexpected doing."

I didn't speak mainly even if I speak it won't change a thing.

"Is the Commander well?" RK asked.

"I can't believe it...you're alive," Kyle said.

"Who's that?" Mina asked beside me.

"That...is the Deputy Commander of Delta Seven who went missing with the New Ohio during a solo operation," Kyle replied. "Brigardier General Dominic King Reginald."

"Deputy Commander? As in your second in command?" Mina asked naively and I looked at her weirdly she stomped my feet and I reeled in pain holding my leg.

"Ouch!" I shouted before going back to normal."Really?"

"Quiet you," Mina said with a pink tint on her cheeks.

"Yeah. If he's here...then,...." Sylvia trailed off.

"You're Replacer King," I answered making RK look at me.

"As sharp as ever Sylvia....and you...." RK said.

"Relax. I'm the treasure you were talking about." I said making Hilde look at me but I don't care. "But do you even know what you are playing right now?" I said darkly and he didn't flinch. "I see. So, you also did take it."

"....." RK didn't say anything.

"I know pretty much Normalside is in danger right now, Replacer King. And you took in that trash in the first place. Congrats, now I know who's in charge of maintaining order." I said making him flinch.

"......" RK didn't say anything again.

"You better scram from here or...." I said threateningly and my eyes glow blue and to make a point, many clouds appear again striking nearly at New Ohio.

"Queen. Seo Yoon, return to the ship." RK said."Bring those two rookies as well."

"Wilco," RQ said.

"......" Seo Yoon doesn't say anything but picks up George and Sarah using her telekinesis. She glances at me but I look at her full of apathy and coldness and she flinches but follows RQ nonetheless.

"You..you think you can just pop out and run away-" Sylvia said before I blocked them.

"Don't. Unless you want to die early, go ahead. They will vanish even if we fight right now." I said.

'It's true. I can legit destroy them but casualty will become too high and I should avoid it.' I thought.

"You should listen to him, Kyle, Sylvia. As much as it was a short reunion, I enjoyed it. Please send regards to Lieutenant General. Bye now." RK said before hanging up and vanishing.

Timeskip by Y/n creating a most powerful Divine Key.

3rd Pov

Med Bay at Normalside.

"This is quite embarrassing." Shi Yoon said upon waking up."But I'm okay now. I heal up pretty fast, despite all appearances."

"That's good," Mina said.

"By the way, how's everything going?" Shi Yoon asked. " I was hazy when all that happened."

"Not good. Replacer's flagship is gone and Sylvia and Kyle returned home. Their former boss comes back but becomes the bad guy of the most." Mina answered Shi Yoon.

"Then, do things on our end is..." Shi Yoon asked.

"No. Not really but due to threat, we can't exactly go on missions for a while." Mina said. "But they summoned Commander Hilde separately."

"I see." Shi Yoon said and looked around. Seeing this, Mina answered.

"Y/n is having some alone time for a while. He said he'll be there when we need him because he needs to think." Mina said.

"Understandable." Shi Yoon said.

Scene Change.

Y/n Pov

'So, you mean that my factor already working?' I thought to Omicron while standing at bench on the company rooftop.

"Yes. It's because they already work the moment you are aware of them."

'I see, but why they do need time to adapt to such things? I highly doubt that should be dangerous much in a short time.'

"That's because it has yet to mature."

'Eh?'

"Master's factor is still growing and has yet to fully mature due to recently awakened."

"Question, how long does it take?'

"2 years."

'Oh, is it possible to speed things up?'

"Yes."

'Really?'

"If Master wants it."

'....It's painful, isn't it?'

"Yes."

'....You know what, let's do it.'

"Understood."

At first, I felt nothing and abruptly, I was in pain. My whole body was in pain including my head and I fell from the bench and gripped the cement below me.

"Urgh! Guhk! Pain!" I said before I heard someone shout before I lost consciousness.

Timeskip by A/N is being chased for late-finished writing.

I opened my eyes and grunted.

"He's awake." I heard someone say.

I close my eyes again and open them and see Mina's face in front of me.

"Mina?" I reflexively said.

"What happened? Suddenly, Soyoung found you fainted at the rooftop." Mina asked in concern. I push myself up to sit and look at her. "And what happened to your eyes?"

'What happened, Omicron?' I thought.

"You have reached the maturity of Ascension Factor and you have a white dot on your eyes inside your pupil's eye to prove it."

To make a point, Omicron shows a picture and I see it.

'I see.' I thought. "Just...awakening. It hurts a little bit." I answered Mina.

"A little bit?! You fainted!" Mina exclaimed in shock."What do you think I-" I cut off Mina by patting her head.

"Sorry for worrying you," I said and Mina got quiet and nodded meekly.

"Um....are we interrupting?" Someone said and I looked to the source and found Yumi, Big Sis, and Shi Yoon.

"...Yes. Now, please leave us to continue." I said with a straight face and Mina's face got even redder."Just kidding."

"You!" Mina pinched my face and after a while, they updated the situation and I looked in at direction.

"By the way, what are you doing there, Mr. Mason?" I said catching everybody's attention.

"Seeing you guys stumped like this, may I make an interesting proposition?" Mason said.

"You're still here?" Mina said in surprise.

"Indeed, it seems you stuck around instead of returning to Detroit." Shi Yoon said.

"Long time no see, kid. They got you good, huh?" Mason commented."Well, almost all of you." Mason said looking at me.

"Haha, thanks." I said with a smile."So, what's the interesting proposition?"

"It's very interesting indeed." Mason said."I got a way to kick those coward's butts. You know, the cowards hiding between dimensions?" Mason sardonically said.

"Oh....very interesting indeed." I said darkly making everybody flinch."Give me details."

"Follow me, There's someone who will fill in on the details," Mason said.

Y/N: *Ahem* I will announce that this is the last chapter before the hiatus to make Chapter 5 a continuation. I think you guys don't want to wait long for the new chapter, do you? By the way-

*A/N furiously running by.*

Y/n: As you guys has read above, A/N is trying to survive right now. By the way, Shin Jia, it's time for your debut in this segment, isn't it?

Shin Jia: Yes! Very much so! I had to wait a long time to appear here at the very least, i think our encounter is close.

Y/n: I think it's gonna be much longer.

Shin Jia:......

Y/n: J-Jia?

Shin Jia: Y/n~Can we skip those noisy obstacles?~

Y/n: Y-you know you have your turn*trying to retreat before bumping to wall.*

Shin Jia: They don't mind~

Shin Jia said and her eyes slowly turned red.

Mina, Seo Yoon: *Ahem* We do mind.

Mina: What are you trying to do to him? i thought we had an agreement.

Shin Jia: it feels too long, i want him right now! i can't help it!

Seo Yoon: Um, Y/n has been taken.

Mina and Shin Jia looked at where Y/n used to be and heard a shout.

Y/n: Stop it,███████ !

Mina: Truce?

Seo Yoon, Shin Jia: Truce.

Mina: Get her!

███████ : Teehee! I'll be taking him.

Y/n: Help.T_T.

A/n: Happy reading everybody, See you later!*whoosh*
