226 chapter 27

"Okay, we're here… you should be going now…" when they finally arrived at the territory of the Zaluchi family in the south side district after they went through a literal- shit ton of trouble with the Corleone thugs that ran the streets of the Northside district., Leonard subtly hinted the woman and her child to go ahead without him as he silently walked away from them.

"No, Leonard, don't leave…" the little boy tried to stop him by pulling on the back of his shirt with his small hand, doing his best to pull him back.

"Sorry kid, what I'm about to do next could potentially put you and your mom in danger- if "fate" will it, we will see one another again." he gently rubbed the kid head.

"Now go back to your mother," Leonard told him before quickly disappeared from the scene.

"Man, I believe I've grown attached to that little brat… but really? Have I turned into a lolicon and a shotacon at the same time?" the thought gave him a chill, these are the forbidden territory of humanity, whatever one does- do not ever cross into those territories.

"But enough of that, it's time to settle the score with this bastard." his tone began to grow cold as he remembered the nasty surprise he received from that creature which clad in steel with glowing golden eyes.

Leonard decided to move into the edge of civilization, where no one would be able to notice anything even if he were to detonate something equivalent of a mini-nuke.

"You can come out now, I believe you have been stalking me for long enough." his power flared out as his body clad itself in a layer of steel from the battle armor.

Even if the battle armor would likely not be able to withstand a strike from the dubbed "Iron-Man", it still would give him a sense of security, at least he wore some form of protection in a fight, unlike the last time, which he was caught off-guard and unprepared.

This time, he was prepared to go all out, using everything in his arsenal to destroy this "Apostle Unit" that caused him so much pain and headache.

From the dark shadow of an old abandoned building, the "Iron-Man" deactivated his cloaking and walked out from the shadow with his weapons in hand, this time it was a twin blade made from the same golden energy as his previous weapon.

"Bring it on!" Leonard grinned savagely before his power exploded out further and his body enshrouded in a layer of mist that made his body look and felt intangible.

"Hahahahaha!!! It's been a while since I had embraced my crazy side, filled to the brim with pure insanity and dark thought." he laughed as shadow claws began to materialized and harden into a purple crystal blade, Leonard shoots forward with this ready-made weapon made from void magic and slashed at the "Iron-Man".

The claw and energy blades clashed against one another, however to the Apostle surprise, the claw did not shatter like the weapon that Leonard had created during their fight previously, this one is much tougher, as it rivaled it Firaxites powered weapons, which are renowned to be one of the best sources of power a technological civilization could possess.

Firaxite, a special type of energy crystal that the Supreme A.I used to power "their" civilization, it is essential for the A.I because of its application in quantum computing, which is vital for Artificial intelligent, these "Firaxites" applications do not limit to just smart chips and grids, it could be used to power storage devices, magnetic levitation motors and powered their units and weapons.

Seeing that it Firaxites weapons slowly being overpowered by this "fleshling" creature who is inferior to itself, it A.I could not help but felt a sense of "surprise" as described in their dictionary.

Only rarely happened when it failed to calculate the outcome of an event, which rarely happened since it people ascended into becoming Technology itself.

While the intense fighting was going on down below on Earth level, high above in the cloud, a "Small" spaceship was hovering above the scene of the fight, quietly observing for the outcome of the battle between Leonard and the Apostle Unit.

"My… isn't this interesting, this human managed to have his void magic to this level, if I'm not wrong, judging by power boost, he should be at the peak of the Star Realm, bordering the Sun class being of the multiverse… not bad." inside of the spacecraft, a beast-like humanoid being "his Majesty" commented as he had a savage grin on his "face" which revealed with sharp fangs as he watched the fighting below.

"Ohhh!! The Apostle is slowly being overpowered" the beast-like being watched the battle as he itches to join into the fight, however, he held himself back because he does not wish to be surprised by the human who fought the Apostle below.

Weak as the human may be, he is still the holder of the "God Imprint" who knows what kind of nasty surprised he could receive if he doesn't probe all of Leonard ability carefully, else it would be like shooting himself in the foot with a high powered magnetic rail-gun.

*****

The clashes between Leonard in his void form and the Supreme A.I Apostle unit shook their surrounding, however, slowly and subtly, Leonard was overpowering the Intelligence Machine.

"How does it feel now, you shitty machine?!" Leonard roared in an insane voice at the rational machine who's being slowly stripped of its armor savagely by Leonard.

"This is for the time you SHOT ME ON MY SHOULDER!" Leonard roared as he materialized another weapon on his free hand, it was an energy spear and impaled the Apostle unit shoulder before making the item exploded and cleanly took off a limb of the Apostle unit before giving the weaponized being a hard kick to the abdomen and sent it launching into a broken old abandoned building that was ravaged by time, causing it to collapse in on itself and buried the Apostle under a ton of rubble and debris.

"Hahahaha!!! How you like that?! Not fun isn't it?! Here, have another taste of this?!" Leonard in his void form laughed menacingly as he charged an energy sphere above his finger, soon the tiny sphere the size of a ping pong ball expanded into the size of a small car above his head.

"Make sure to tell your maker who destroyed you- the name is Leonard! Hahahaha!" Leonard tossed the energy sphere filled to the brim with devouring void energy toward the rubble ruins of the building where the apostle was buried and let it exploded out in full glory.

"Ahh, that was some nice firework." he commented, watching the explosion from afar.

"But damn, that would probably draw the attention of the flies… maybe I should be ditching this place by now, less I want more problem coming my way." he scratched his chin before leaping away from the scene, leaving the explosion crater in the middle of a deserted part of the town, which baffled the investigator on what really happened in the area.

As there was literally nothing left but a cleaned crater.

"If this is a crime scene, it would be a perfect crime as there was no evidence left…" the inspector commented as he felt the burned dirt under the sole of his shoe.

The dirt was still somewhat still warm.

"How are we going to file this case, chief inspector?" a young intern asked the older man.

"What do you think? Just filed something that makes sense, like a meteor came crashing in." he shrugged as he stood up and walked back to the government vehicle and drive back to the station.
