Chapter 72: Heroes 2
I used my new rule over space and time and appeared in a different time line, or to be precisely 5 weeks before now and before Hiro used his power for the first time to turn back time by a second.
The reason for that is that I could feel that time to be a junction of sorts. This moment branched out into many new paths.
Two of them is either the one where the explosion happens, the one Hiro saw, or the one where NYC´s destruction is prevented, basically the plot. I appeared in the former one because I was unaffected by time and this was the original and untampered one that should have happened.
I´m just gonna call this junction 'Genesis' after the first episode.
Another reason I was going back is because in these five weeks many people with powers died and I couldn´t just let my precious powers go to waste.
I appeared somewhere in Yamato industries, where Hiro worked, and moved to his workspace according by his memories.
Time had already resumed but I wasn´t noticed because I had shifted in just another Japanese white-collar worker.
I entered the area where he and many others worked huddled together, each with their own small isolated space. I just wen to Hiro´s place undisturbed and saw him stare at a clock with a face that looked like he was shitting himself. I wasn´t followed however, I could feel time being affected by his thoughts but it was extremely minimal.
I just stood behind him unnoticed and did the whole kill and absorb process all over again, only this time I didn´t gain anything from it. I didn´t need two identically powers as the blacklight was already capable of copying and replicating genes.
Just like this I was in and out. My nearest next target was his father, Kaito, who was the CEO and possessed Probability Computation but before that I wanted to test something.
I city map from the vendor across the street in my hand and sure enough, several red dots appeared on it. It seemed like this ability from the last Reality worked here just as well, this was going to spare me a lot of time searching.
I looked at the nearest red dot. God damnit, he isn´t even in this building. You would think that a CEO would give his son at least a bit preferential treatment, even if the son was a total looser and the embodiment of a disappointment.
This time I didn´t sneak in, because I doubted just any random stranger could meet the CEO at will, and just appeared in his office.
Even thought he was looking intensely at several documents at the same time, he noticed my intrusion quickly.
He started babbling something in Japanese but I could see his hand move to a button under the desk and the other one to a drawer with a gun.
Ignoring both is actions, I just calmly walked to him while changing my hands back to claws. Seeing that I also had powers and didn´t appear as friendly, he pulled out gun and shot me several times.
I continued walking until I stood in front of him. By now, he was out of bullets and I could see the sweet look of fear in his eyes but his face looked like he was going to die with honor.
He tried one last act of struggle by punching me but I pierced his chest with my hand before his fist could even meet my face.
I could feel some slight changes but decided to get out of here before the guards barge in.
Not long after, I sat on the roof in thought. The new power made my mathematical genius unparalleled and I was now seeing the world as formulas, like in many movies with geniuses.
Looking at the many maps floating in front of me, especially the red dots, I randomly picked my next victim.
It was going to feast on the evolved humans in this country only for a small time before going to America to get a taste of the main dishes and the many special powers.
And so my feast began. In a single day I killed thousands of humans and this obviously didn´t go unnoticed. I was currently watching the news about the mass disappearance.
I absorbed my victims so there wasn´t anything left of them, making many just things about a mass kidnaping. There were even some conspiracy theories on the internet, some of them people on there were even crazier than I was but it was entertaining.
After a while I stopped watching and decided to change my hunting grounds. But I knew one thing, no matter how many powers I got here, most of them were worthless, I either already had them or they were truly useless, but that was going to change once I got the power fusion from future Tommy.
