Chapter 535 Michael in another universe
Chapter 535 Michael in another universe
Michael was so confused by the voices. No matter how much he looked around, he couldn't find the source of these voices until he noticed a small glimmer in the wall behind Sabrina.
He slowly and cautiously made his way to the wall. The part of the wall he noticed a glimmer had a crack, and finally he found out that the voices coming through the crack. He leaned closer to the wall, placing his ear against the crack to listen to the voice. However, the moment he placed his ear on the wall, he felt a sudden force pulling him into the crack.
"What the fuck?"Michael tried to pull himself free from the force, but he failed. He couldn't even move an inch.
"System"
Michael called for the system's help, except the system did not respond to him.
The next moment, everything around him became pitch black.
HRRRRRRMMMMMMM!
Michael heard an otherworldly humming as he saw the light in front of him a few hundred meters away. He wondered where he was and tried to contact the system, but it didn't respond.
He felt like he was soaring through the air like a rocket. The feeling was familiar to Michael. He felt the same when he was transmigrated to this world from earth.
Hence, Michael could vaguely guess he was being transmigrated somewhere else. But he wondered why and how.
He didn't panic as he got closer and closer to the light at the end of the dark place.
When he reached the light, everything around him changed. The black and white ambiance of the shadow realm vanished as the colors returned to the world before him.
"Put me in the super prison!" Michael heard the shouting voice again,
At that moment, Michael noticed he was floating inside what seemed to be a command center that had a semi-modern and fantasy vibe. The numerous men and women sat in front of a glass that resembled modern monitors, but the people themselves wore medieval robes. The walls and floor were built with some kind of gray wood which, coupled with the blue light radiated by the mirrors, gave the place a vibe of a law enforcement command center.
"Didn't you hear me? He is coming for me!" Michael heard the voice, and he jerked his head in the direction to see a shocking sight. A man with six hands shouting at a man on the elevated platform at the hall's back. He had two human hands and four hands protruding out of his back. Compared to his human hands, the hands coming out of his back were longer and seemed rubbery.
In addition to his surprising six arms, the man wore dark goggles covering half of his face. On the contrary to the man with six hands, the man he was shouting at looked normal, calm, and composed. Instead, the dark-skinned man radiated a domineering aura.
Michael turned his gaze at the mirrors for a moment to see various pictures of people and images of places running on. Suddenly, the mirrors went blank as they flickered with red light,
"What's happening?" the dark-skinned man on the platform asked in a thick accent,
Soon, five figures dressed in various superhero costumes entered the hall through the door behind the dark-skinned man.
The men and women in the hall waved their hands. They kept touching the various symbols appearing on the mirrors until the mirrors stopped flickering with red light.
"I don't know General. Suddenly the etherian energy readings went off the charts," a young man said as the man with six arms shivered,
"It's him. You have to save me!" when the man with six arms stuttered, the five figures who had just entered the room poised to attack the man. Among the five, two youngsters didn't wear any masks. One was a dark-skinned young man with a muscular physique and tall. He wore a jade t-shirt and a pair of spiky gloves. Meanwhile, the other was a strikingly beautiful blonde girl who tied her hair into a short ponytail. She moved her mouth as though she was chewing a piece of gum inside.
The remaining three all wore latex costumes, and all looked different and unique from one another. The man leading the group wore a suit resembling the suit of a spider man, except his crimson red suit was sleeveless. The girl behind him wore a yellow suit with black stripes resembling a Bengal tiger. Except for the ponytail striking out of her mask, the suit covered every part of her body.
The last group member wore a half mask covering the face above his mouth. His suit had a mix of red and blue with a symbol of an eagle engraved onto his chest.
Something told Michael that they were all young and some kind of superheroes.
"System, where the fuck is happening right now?" asked Michael. He tried to touch the wall beside him, but as he expected, his hands went inside the wall.
[The host has been pulled into another universe from the shadow realm]
[the host is currently in an astral form. Your physical body is still in the shadow realm,]
"Fuck. another universe? How did that happen?"
This was one of the few scenarios in which even Michael became confused. He looked around one more time at the panic-stricken people in the hall,
"System, what's the time difference between this universe and mine?" Michael calmed himself as he knew panicking wouldn't help solve anything.
[the host has nothing to worry about. In the shadow realm, not even a second has passed. So the time difference between your universe and Etheria is negligible ]
"So this universe is called Etheria. Hmm," Michael slowly floated towards the young man who talked about energy readings.
Michael tried to slap the young man but his hand went straight through the man's head, making Michael smile.
"How do I get out of this place?"
[Your soul cannot stay apart from your body for long. The shadow realm will return your soul to your body soon]
Michael was relieved to hear that he could return to his universe soon. Of course, he was curious and wanted to know more about Etheria, but he had his own problems to deal with and things to finish before thinking of conquering Etheria.
"Why am I here tho?"
[The system level is too low to answer the host's question]
"You know, you have been less useful recently,"
[Says the host who doesn't upgrade the system more often] the system snickered,
"What the hell is he doing here Chandler?" the red-suited hero asked the dark-skinned man. Unlike the latex-suited youngsters, the man wore a long black coat with crimson red lining and had wavy neck-length hair.
"Stand down," the man raised his hand,
"He's here to surrender,"
"Surrender?" the tall, muscular guy opened his eyes wide,
"No, I am not buying it Chandler. He's trying to pull something," the girl chewing the bubble gum looked skeptical, as well as the muscular guy.
Since Michael had nothing else to do, he wanted to see what was happening. He floated towards the group,
"Run a full scan of the ship. I don't want to get caught with my pants down," instead of responding to the angry youngster, the man ordered his crew.
"For god sake, put me in jail or call the Supreme ones!" Michael noticed the man with six arms shivering uncontrollably and sweating like a pig.
"Calm down Fergus. You're safe here," Michael turned back to see a young woman in black kevlar armor walking towards them. She almost walked through Michael.
"General Atkins," she placed her three fingers on her chest and bowed towards Chandler,
"We have searched through the ship. We are safe and secure General,"
After hearing the lady, Fergus deeply exhaled. He looked a little bit relieved.
"Now will you tell us why he suddenly changed his mind?" Michael saw the sleeveless hero ask,
"The Reaper," the entire hall went silent when Chandler said the name 'The Reaper'. No one uttered a word, and Michael saw fear and terror in everyone's eyes except Chandler and the lady who entered the hall lastly.
"Fergus believes the reaper is going to kill him next," Chandler said,
"Believes? Fuck you Chandler. What do you think happened to Poison Lenora?" Fergus asked, looking at the five youngsters,
"According to the UFH records, she disappeared," the girl chewing a gum answered Fergus as he snickered,
"Disappeared my ass. She was killed. No, not killed. The reaper slaughtered her,"
As soon as Fergus spoke these words, the youngsters gasped in shock.
The youngsters were stunned. Michael could sense the shock in their hearts despite their masks covering their faces.
"What the hell is he talking about General?" the girl wearing a tiger suit asked.
"What happened to her was strictly need to know,"
"I have a feeling that you have a reason to share this information with us now," Michael turned his gaze towards the young man with an eagle emblem on his chest. His voice had a rather soothing effect as he spoke so calmly.
"You're going to escort Fergus to Supreme Ones headquarters,"
"No!"
Both the sleeveless guy and Fergus shouted at the same time, disagreeing with Chandler.
"Why can't you take me there? Or get the Supreme ones to take me? I am not going to go with these amateurs. The Reaper would massacre them in minutes,"
The muscular young man threw him a threatening glance at Fergus but he didn't give a damn,
"Bringing you ourselves to them is like flashing our location to the reaper," Michael heard Chandler. But by looking at his eyes, Michael could tell Chandler was lying.
The real reason why he was ordering the youngsters to escort Fergus was definitely something else. Michael was hundred percent sure.
ALERT!
ALERT!
ALERT!
Suddenly, a mechanical voice resonated in the ship as the room turned red.
"What's happening?!" the lady behind General Chandler shouted,
Michael noticed the images running on the mirrors slowly transforming into a wolf's head.
"General Chandler, we've been hijacked by the lone wolf" the young man from before shouted at General Chandler.
"I knew it. I knew coming here was a mistake. I am out of here!" Fergus frantically shook his head before trying to get out of the platform but the five youngsters blocked his way,
"You're not going anywhere," the sleeveless hero exclaimed,
"Get her out of my ship," General Chandler raised his voice as the men and women in the hall began to work like bees. Then, General Chandler turned around to look at the lady,
"Captain Ivy, get your team ready and meet me here in five minutes. I have a feeling the reaper is coming here for his life'
