Chapter 218: Sealing the Portal

Chapter 218: Sealing the Portal

Mercer jumped out of the still speeding jet plane with great momentum. He was free-falling from the sky at the speed of sound with nothing but his body. The sheer visage of him was enough to scare everyone away in fear. General Cruel Heart arrived! And he was boiling mad!

Run for your lives, fools! The axe holder who stalled Kenway earlier shouted and made an escape. He was faster than anyone, as he ran away. All the assailants scattered in every direction like a flock of ants against an aardvark.

A pair of gauntlets appeared in Mercers hands. They were as black as the abyss. One look at them was enough to scare a courageous man into fear.

Gauntlets of the King! Axe holder screamed. Dont run, it will make it worse. He shouted, yet still running. He knew what Mercers ultimate was, everyone knew. He tried to convince others to stay and fight, but he also knew who they would face. He couldnt muster his courage to stay and fight.

Cruel Hearts ultimate gets stronger as long as he is in the winning position. The more his enemies think they are in defeat, the stronger gauntlets and Mercer become. Now there are hundreds of people running in fear, his powers will be incalculable! Kenway smirked as he sat on the ground. His sky slash took a toll on him, and he was weaker for a period of time. He also rushed to save Evelyn, thus he was a little weak. But since Mercer was there, he could just wait for him to finish. He sighed as he looked at Roger but there was nothing he could do at the moment.

Mercer landed in front of the mansion with a fist. There were tens of assailants making an escape there, unluckily caught by him. The sheer force of the fist stopped the falling Mercer and defied all physic laws. Landing on his two feet, Mercer looked at the now minced meat figures and spat on the ground. He was boiling with rage! No one ever defied him ever since he built Unity with others!

He was faster than the jet plane after he was amplified with the ability of the gauntlet. He vanished from where he was standing, and when he appeared, he was behind a running figure. With a punch of his, the figure had a hole in his body. He slowly fell to the ground, dead!

Mercer jumped from place to place and killed whoever he could reach. One punch, one kill. When he was behind the giant axed figure, the latter screamed like a scared animal, but it wasnt going to help him. Mercer grabbed his shoulder and every bone in the figure's body turned into dust.

After Mother AI descended to Earth, she firstly helped humans to produce one, so the portal could be closed. It was the mark of their first win.

Now that portals were the norm, and every new one was opening all around the globe. Although humans were closing those in close proximity to Unity, some further ones were still open. Monsters were gushing out of them every day. That was one of the major reasons why humans havent cleared the Earth from the walking dead. The globe was still filled with dangers.

The peak of humanity was at Crown-Rank. And there were only a handful of them. Sending them out to clear the walking dead would only end in more and higher-tier portals opening. Any lower-tiered human would be swarmed by walking dead and monsters. Thus, humanity took the wait-and-see option for the time being.

But when there was an imminent danger, such as that one, they would send high-tier personnel to take care of it, despite the danger. So, Mercer handled the portal opening, and the rest of the family took care of the awakened dead.

The soldiers brought out a giant four-pillared device. The main device was able to destroy the portal to create a fissure in its place. Then space would heal itself slowly. That place would be a dead zone for a few years at least, but that was at least better than leaving a danger that could return to bite them any time.

After Malcolm set the machine, he supplied electricity from the generator connected to the jet plane. The machine roared like a beast and started to quake. The quake was at first visible, but then it reached a level where even the atoms were vibrating with high speed. The vibrating atoms separated in their cores to bring out energy enough to destroy the portal. Although it sounded dangerous, it was fully under control. Firstly, the portal was a door between two planes.

The device was able to send the energy through the portal and detonate it inside. Although the bridge took the most damage, the second side was also receiving a lot of extra damage. It was akin to shooting monsters with their own weapons. While monsters were waiting to raid Earth through portals in big numbers, that portal was becoming their graves.

Not long after the vibration and with it, the portal vanished. Although it was quiet, on the other side of the portal, a big explosion killed thousands of monsters on the other side. It was another victory for humans.
