Atlant.

* Shhh!*

A spear made of earth and debris flew towards Mark.

It hit his chest.

*Drip drip drip*

A hot trickle of blood ran down the tip of the spear.

It was getting dark in Mark's eyes.

His body, pierced, fell sideways.

The pain deafened him without letting him say a word.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the Super.

– Why...?

His lips moved, but there was no sound.

— AAAARGH!PUT IT OUT!PUT ME OUT DONTE!

Pinkie was shouting.

Super Donte, began to hit Pinky's face, simultaneously extinguishing the fire on his face.

After extinguishing the fire on the face of an ally, Donte says.

— Be patient, Samul, be patient.

Pinkie responds to Donte's words.

— Fuck you, you bastard!!!You couldn't have come earlier!?My eye!You could have saved my FUCKING EYE AND ARM!!!— The thought of saving his "earthen" partner did not visit him.

— Shut up already.Looking down, Donte said.— Now we will bind up your wounds and continue what we started.

Pinkie could barely contain his anger.

But even if he had continued his tirade, he would have died long ago.

Donte super class C.

He was one step away from the strongest people in the world.

— Give me the Devourer.

Pinkie looks at his ally with hatred in his eyes.

He reluctantly searches for the Devourer in his pockets.

After finding the device, Sam passes it to Donte.

"Donte fuck, but who came up with such a name?Maybe Dante?"

Having calmed down, Pinkie thought.

After receiving the device, Donte goes to Doom's body.

The chest of the green exo suit slowly rose and fell.

The owner of the Doom was unconscious.

Every part of his body was crushed.

Seeing a tear in the neck of the Doom suit, Donte sticks a devourer.

A device similar to a metal keychain starts to light up.

The saturation scale was indicated on its display.

— Aaargh!— Emits a painful moan of Doom.

His heart was beating faster than ever before.

Being in a semi-conscious state, he felt pain.

It was as if something important had been snatched from him.

As soon as the saturation scale was completely filled, Donte removed the device.

Remembering the battle, Duma Super was covered with goosebumps.

He was powerless.

He had never felt so helpless.

The power that makes everyone afraid.

She doesn't care who you are, what rank you have.

For her, you are nothing and your name is nobody.

Before fear and despair, everyone is equal.

"One of the tasks is done.To take away the power of the one who bears the name of Doom.It remains only to take another force, bring chaos here and attract the maximum possible attention."

— Haaa—Donte sighed heavily.— I still have to fight and fight.

Shaking his head, Donte continues his thought.

"Surely everyone already knows about what is happening.The audience was evacuated, and the heroes and rescuers continue to arrive."

— Haha, well, the dogs of Atlanta, I'll take it out on you.

He wants to wash away the shame.

It's a shame that I brought Doom on him.

He was afraid of a kid who wasn't even twenty.

Donte couldn't even breathe properly next to him.

Desire was visible in the Super's eyes.

The desire to prove that he stands at the top.

***

People were evacuated outside the Colosseum.

The crowd of people tried to get away from this place as quickly as possible.

Tourists stepped on everyone's feet.

They wanted to escape from a dangerous place.

As soon as they saw the guy's death on the dome screen, no one believed it.

Surely the event that Atlant prepares every year can't be dangerous?

Right?

So they thought.

But during the contest, more and more blood was shed.

While everyone was looking at the dome, USP security was actively working.

After informing everyone about the situation, they found out something terrible.

— Sir Kyle!Sir Kyle!!!—The head of the guard calls out to the former rescuer.

— Have you found out what's going on?Kyle asked calmly.

— Yes sir!— The head of the guard straightened up.— Atlant has been attacked!

— That's understandable.

— You misunderstood me... — the head calms down and says.— The whole of Atlas has been attacked.

Kyle looks at the man in disbelief.

— For the whole?Have they declared war on us?

"I... I don't know…

Kyle's face became more serious.

Realizing that now we need to focus on saving the country's young talents, Kyle asks a question.

— Were the mechanics able to unlock the door?

— They should unlock it soon.

— Get me the chief Mechanic.

— Yes, now sir.

After waiting for some time, the chief Mechanic, Nero, responds to a request for communication.

— Kyle, I'm working, not suffering from bullshit!

Nero's face and the area around it appeared on the tablet.

Behind him, other supermen were running back and forth and giving orders.

— Let me destroy this…

- No!KYLE, THIS IS A WORK OF ART!!!You can't tear it apart with your barbaric hands!

— What the hell is a work of art!?We have people dying there!I have to protect…

— And I have to KEEP it all intact!

—Tsk," Kyle said, "when?"The tone of his voice was filled with coldness.

-10 minutes.— Nero answers.— Will he be able to survive during this time…

— I'm not only worried about him, Nero, I'm worried about everyone!

— Since when did the bastard Kyle Barrow start worrying about the common people!?Nero quips.

— Wait and pray that they survived until this moment.— The chief mechanic said with all seriousness.

Kyle reluctantly nods his head and turns off the tablet.

Clenching his fists, the former lifeguard looks at the sky.

Suddenly Kyle notices flashes of light over the horizon.

The first flash, no blue ray of light swept over the head of the Red-haired man.

* BAAAAAAH!!!*

As soon as the beam of light came into contact with the buildings, a giant explosion occurred.

Many skyscrapers were destroyed by unstable energy.

People who were nearby left behind only shadows.

At the point of impact, the earth turned into magma.

And the shock wave destroyed everything that the beam of light could not burn.

Dust shot up into the sky, forming a mushroom cloud.

The whole world was collapsing.

Seeing this sight, people were speechless.

— Nooo... —the woman denied, covering her mouth with her hands.

— Will everything be all right in your dreams, Mom?The son asked his mother.

She hugged him without saying anything.

She only prayed to all the gods she knew.

***

In the very center of the capital Atlanta, a man was standing on a skyscraper.

His gray hair fluttered in the wind.

And his height was three meters.

— The one who called himself the God of the Dead.— He said.

Looking at the destruction caused by the beam, the old man sees several more "harbingers of destruction".

— Hey Chronos, don't you think it's time to act?-The hologram of a beautiful girl asked with a smile.

Her hair was tied in a small ponytail.

She herself wore a jacket through which a white T-shirt could be seen, as well as trousers matching the jacket.

- yes.A meaningful answer came from Chronos' lips.— It's time.
