#676 - The beaten Gryffindor
“We once studied this planet, and in the next two centuries, human civilization has less than 18% chance of survival, and it will have to lose billions of lives.”
Mark stared at her and asked unhappily, “Is this a threat?”
Anissa said with an unchanged expression: “No, this is a fact. The strong people in this world destroy their own homes and plunder resources for their own self-interest. Soon, large areas of this planet will become uninhabitable due to human greed.”
Mark was slightly startled after hearing this and said, “Yes, I know.”
“You know? Why do you clearly know, but you are here clenching your fists, wanting to stop me, instead of stopping them?”
Mark didn't know how to refute her.
Global Defense Agency.
Technicians have scanned Anissa's body surface.
“According to the simulation results of bone and muscle density scans, if the real Invincible fought her, there would be less than an 8% chance of survival. Now, if this parallel world Mark fought her, there should be less than a 2% chance of survival.”
Director Cecil folded his arms across his chest, “That's really good news.”
Boom and Vi looked at this scene, and both of them had worried expressions on their faces.
The two sisters in the farm had the best relationship with Mark. The three of them had even traveled together in Zaun.
“Let me go.”
Vi raised her head and said to Director Cecil with a firm expression: “I'll go help Mark.”
Boom also followed Vi and said: “I'll go with Vi, otherwise those two will definitely be taken care of by the Viltrumite.”
Boom considered herself the smartest person among Dad's children on the farm, while Mark and Vi were the two stupidest guys.
If these two acted together, they would probably be easily taken care of by this so-called Viltrumite spy.
Cecil hesitated for a moment, and was about to speak when suddenly his subordinate reported to him: “The satellite has detected a super-sized octopus monster in the South Pacific, rapidly approaching a passenger ship.”
“Sh*t!”
Cecil cursed inwardly.
He raised his head and saw Anissa on the screen saying, “Viltrumites do not enjoy killing, although sometimes killing can bring us pleasure. Dead humans are of no benefit to us.”
Seeing this, he immediately had an idea.
He used the communication device to say to Mark: “Then let's see if she is serious about what she said. Several thousand kilometers to the southwest, a cruise ship is about to be swallowed. Ask her if she is willing to help save the cruise ship?”
Listening to Cecil's words, Mark nodded and said to Anissa: “Listen, a ship is in danger. If what you said just now was sincere, you will go with me to save people, right?”
A smile appeared on the corner of Anissa's mouth, “I'll follow you, let me see how strong Nolan's son is.”
Mark: “...”
He doesn't have any superpowers at all. Wouldn't it be exposed if she really saw it?
But he couldn't care so much. He was just pretending to be Mark anyway. He could just explain it to her then.
“You will save those people, right?”
Mark asked her, “You said you don't enjoy killing.”
“Let's go to the scene first.”
With a "swoosh", Anissa quickly flew towards the southwest.
Helpless, Mark could only follow her.
On the endless blue sea, dark clouds loomed, and the strong wind whipped up huge waves, hitting the hull of the luxury cruise ship.
The cruise ship was tossing and turning on the turbulent sea, and the passengers screamed in terror, clutching the railings and seats tightly.
From the cracked sea surface, a huge sea monster with multiple tentacles emerged from the deep sea. The slimy and terrifying tentacles wrapped around the hull like giant pythons, making deafening roars.
The tentacles wrapped around the cruise ship, making a teeth-aching sound of metal cracking, and the passengers swept by the sea water screamed and crashed into the ship's railings.
At this critical moment, Mark arrived at the scene.
Mark held his magic wand and walked towards the bow of the ship against the storm.
“Everyone, stand back!”
Mark shouted loudly, his voice penetrating the storm.
The passengers retreated one after another, quickly moving away from the attacking sea monster under Mark's protection.
The sea monster seemed to have sensed Mark's threat, and a huge tentacle suddenly attacked him.
Reacting quickly, Mark waved his magic wand and shouted: “Serpensortia!”
A flash of silver light passed, and the tentacle attacking Mark was cut off, and the sea monster let out a painful roar.
However, the sea monster did not retreat, but became even more violent after being attacked.
The eyes of the giant sea monster flashed fiercely, and more tentacles stretched out from the sea, trying to drag the entire ship into the abyss.
“Expecto Patronum!”
Mark continued to chant in a low voice. Under the burst of strong emotional power, the silver-white magic energy condensed into a tall horse.
The horse roared and charged towards the huge sea monster in the dazzling magic energy.
The silver-white dazzling light illuminated the entire sea area, and the sea monster was shocked by this powerful magic and its movements slowed down.
On the other side, Anissa, standing in the air, was shocked to see Mark releasing magic instead of directly attacking the sea monster with super power.
Isn't this the Invincible I know?!
No, he is not Invincible!
“Roar!”
The sea monster, constantly attacked by Mark, roared and swung its tentacles at Mark.
Seeing that Mark could not solve the sea monster for a long time, Anissa, with her arms folded across her chest, activated her super speed and rushed towards the sea monster with a “swoosh”.
“Boom!”
The indestructible skin of the sea monster was instantly pierced by Anissa.
Blood and flesh tissue immediately spurted out.
The next second, Anissa came out from the other end of the giant sea monster's body.
She directly used her body to pierce the sea monster's heart.
The sea monster let out a wail, its body fell down and crashed heavily on the sea surface, causing a monstrous wave.
Anissa, covered in blood, glanced at Mark, flew under the luxury cruise ship, lifted the ship with one hand, and flew forward.
Mark was stunned for a moment and quickly followed her.
After flying for a few kilometers, Anissa placed the 10,000-ton ship on a nearby island.
“You are not Invincible, are you?”
After doing all this, Anissa asked Mark with a somewhat ugly expression.
“You never asked me if I was Invincible.”
“Then who are you exactly?”
Mark took a breath and said to her: “I am Mark Patrick, son of Peter Patrick. I am Mark Grayson from another parallel world. You can call me Grand Phoenix the Lesser.”
“It's you! Was it you who defeated our empire's soldiers on Thraxa?!”
Hearing Mark say that he was the son of Patrick, Anissa showed a shocked expression on her face.
“Yes, it's me.”
“Okay, I made a mistake from the beginning. Where is your father, let me talk to him.”
The shocked expression on Anissa's face quickly disappeared. Controlling her expression, she asked Mark to see Peter.
“Why do you want to see my father?”
“You are not qualified to talk to me, Mark, only your father is worthy.”
Anissa said to him coldly: “Your father is trying to interfere in the affairs of this world. This is a wrong decision for him. He cannot change anything, and he does not know the true strength of the Viltrumites.”
After a moment of pause, she turned her gaze to the cruise ship she had placed on the shore, “Nolan on Thraxa has been taken away by us, and the fate of Earth has been decided. He does not have to get involved in our affairs.”
“Also...I can feel it, Mark, you are also a Viltrumite. You should follow the same path as us.”
“No!”
Hearing the other party say that he was a Viltrumite, Mark immediately retorted angrily: “I am not a Viltrumite, I am the son of my father, I am a Smallvillian. You will never understand Earthlings. Maybe humanity is not perfect, maybe we often cause trouble, but we must make our own decisions, even if sometimes that's wrong.”
“My father told me, never make decisions for others!”
Listening to Mark's words, Anissa's fists gradually clenched.
“I've reasoned with you, debated with you, and saved so many people. You still can't see the truth?”
Mark shook his head, pointed his magic wand at her, “I think you should leave.”
Watching Mark point his magic wand at her, Anissa shook her head in disappointment, “Don't forget, we were very rational at the beginning.”
With a "boom" of air exploding, Anissa instantly rushed in front of Mark.
“Boom!”
Before he could release the magic, Mark, who had taken a heavy blow to the chin, was directly knocked into the sky.
Feeling a burst of severe pain, Mark directly broke through the clouds and rushed into the sky.
Wiping his mouth, he found it was full of blood. Before he could counterattack, Anissa flew above him the next second.
She punched him in the head with one hand.
“Boom!”
Mark was directly blasted towards the sea, falling heavily into it, causing a huge wave.
Knocked down by two punches, Mark lay on the beach, blood constantly spilling from the corner of his mouth.
The severe pain all over his body made his consciousness begin to blur. Although he tried desperately to stand up, he didn't have a trace of strength.
“No no...I can't fall down. I promised Dad that I would protect him...”
Mark murmured.
In his blurred vision, he seemed to see Peter's figure walking towards him on the beach.
