Strongest Necromancer System Chapter 853: The Desire For Revenge
Previously on Strongest Necromancer System...
'How truly potent are these monstrous entities?'
Stragga, already an SSS Rank and the closest to achieving TITAN Rank among Earth's superhumans, pondered this question. If his own formidable attack proved ineffective, he knew the other superhumans would stand no chance. Suddenly, the Machina launched another assault on Stragga, who swiftly activated an artifact bracelet on his wrist. This artifact amplified his fire output by a staggering two hundred percent. Extending his hand toward the Machina, Stragga unleashed all his mana in a single, colossal strike!
KA-BOOM!
The heavens ignited with crimson flames. Stragga didn't pause to ascertain the efficacy of his attack; he pivoted and propelled himself away from the Machina!
DOON!
A wave of dread washed over Stragga as he sensed a formidable power surge from behind him. He instantly recognized it as emanating from the Machina. The Machina aimed her cannon blaster at Stragga and fired, but Stragga narrowly evaded the blast, feeling the intense heat licking at his heels. The cannonball slammed into a distant building, and Stragga swore under his breath as he witnessed its descent. People were trapped inside!
"The high-rise on Eastern Avenue is collapsing with people inside! Someone, evacuate them! I'll engage the Machina!"
Stragga's voice boomed over the comms as he spun back, thrusting his hand forward to unleash another barrage. The Machina, a sinister grin stretching across her face, aimed her cannon blaster at Stragga, poised to end him. But an abrupt halt fell over the region as an overwhelming power descended. Stragga pivoted sharply, his eyes locking onto the source of the unbelievable might. There, on a rooftop several blocks away, stood The Sovereign. He drew his massive sword, and Stragga immediately understood the need to retreat. Deactivating his mana, Stragga plummeted from the sky, much to the Machina's astonishment. Frowning in irritation, she dismissed Stragga, diverting her cannon blaster toward The Sovereign.
TWOOM!
The Machina unleashed her devastating attack. The Sovereign, planting his feet firmly, swept his sword through the air in a flawless vertical arc. A wave of superheated fire cleaved the world in two!
Shink!
The Machina couldn't comprehend what had transpired. One moment, her cannon blast was hurtling toward The Sovereign; the next, it was bifurcated, a stark black line bisecting her vision. The Machina's form split into two halves as The Sovereign's strike bisected her from head to toe. She was deceased before her severed body even touched the ground.

User has eliminated [1] TITAN Rank I Machina

ROARRR!
A thunderous roar echoed from the heavens as a Bishop Rank dragon hurtled towards another Machina on the opposing side of the city. The dragon pursued the rapidly flying Machina, which evaded the dragon's fiery onslaught while retaliating, shattering as much of the cityscape as possible. The Machina directed his cannon blasters at two colossal shopping complexes, eliciting screams from the occupants as the structures began to crumble. The dragon, unconcerned with the falling buildings, as it knew superhumans would handle survivor rescue, soared past. It reared its head back and activated a Legion Skill!
[Mana Blast]!
ROARRRR!!
The dragon unleashed a torrent of pure mana that streaked through the air faster than the Machina could possibly react. Cursing, the Machina was engulfed by the devastating attack. The dragon sustained its assault until the Machina ceased all movement. Once the dragon deactivated its skill, the Machina's scorched and mangled remains plummeted from the sky, impacting the ground with a sickening thud.
This grim tableau was being replicated across numerous major nations globally. In Japan, the Machina had already inflicted extensive devastation upon three major cities. In Germany, Machina were wreaking havoc through the capital, leaving German forces utterly powerless against their unimaginable strength. The situation mirrored itself in other prominent countries like Spain, Canada, France, and even America. The Machina relentlessly sought to maximize destruction, and despite the valiant efforts of superhumans to contain them, they were undeniably outmatched by the superior Machina forces.
Machina soldiers effortlessly vanquished any superhuman who dared to confront them. It wasn't until Jason's own subordinates entered the fray that the tide began to turn, ultimately leading to the Machina's defeat! Meanwhile, less capable superhumans, those completely outmatched by the Machina, were on the ground, putting forth their utmost effort to evacuate the trapped civilians from the collapsing buildings! The Machina relentlessly fired their lasers, demolishing structures with utter disregard, necessitating swift human evacuation to prevent them from being crushed!
Deep within France, five Machina soldiers engaged in erratic flight, pursued closely by Jason's followers. One Machina, a female warrior with a hardened countenance, cast a fearful glance backward, a chilling dread seizing her heart! The pursuer was none other than the TITAN Rank II Skrill, and despite her unwavering dedication to this mission, the Machina could not suppress her terror when confronting such a formidable entity!
SCREECH!
The Skrill unleashed a deafening roar as it closed in on the Machina, causing her eardrums to rupture from the intense sonic assault! Propelled through the air, the Machina slammed violently into a building, the surrounding glass panes shattering outwards from the sheer force of the sonic wave! Within the structure, numerous civilians shrieked in panic as the Machina woman was violently embedded in their midst. The Machina, her face contorted with rage, raised her weapon, aiming it at the largest concentration of humans. However, before she could unleash her attack, another Machina materialized from the side, blasting her backward through the building's wall with a powerful cannon strike! The Machina woman plummeted downwards, her expression one of utter disbelief. For a fleeting moment, she suspected betrayal from her own kind, but quickly realized it was merely another of Jason’s subordinates. She then redirected her cannon blaster towards the Legion Machina and fired!!
TWOOM!
SCREECH!
The Skrill descended from the sky, intercepting the Machina woman just as she was about to fire. With a swift tearing motion, its sharp beak sliced her in two! Gliding gracefully across the sky, the Skrill surveyed the city's devastation before altering its course towards the Eiffel Tower on the opposite side. Upon landing beside a man standing atop the iconic landmark and gazing over the city, the Skrill allowed the man to absentmindedly stroke its form.
Jason’s brow was furrowed as he surveyed the sprawling cityscape. Following his departure from Texas, Jason had systematically dealt with various Machina threats across Europe before finally arriving in France. Employing his 'Eye of the King,' Jason had identified the cities most in need of his intervention. From his assessment, France had borne the brunt of the Machina's destructive onslaught. Not only was the concentration of Machina forces higher here than anywhere else, but the local superhumans were notably weak, rendering them incapable of effectively resisting the Machina and delaying their advance until the Legion subordinates could arrive! It was a regrettable situation, and Jason recognized that the human cost of this attack would be substantial!
