227 chapter 28

The monstrous being within his spacecraft watched the scene unfolded below in its full glory, seeing Leonard dismantling the Apostle unit like it was a toy in his berserk Void Form.

"I'll definitely pay you back with interest."

His eyes gleamed with a dangerous light as he watched the live recording before controlling the spacecraft to ascend toward the Mesosphere, which was above 50 kilometers from the surface of the Earth and hover before joined back to one of the "smaller" space vessels that was detached from the fortress that was "parked" between the Moon and Earth, observing Earth and stored the innumerable army.

The purpose of this small detached vessel was to be the central hub of DNA sample gathering for this specific region and also served as one of the outposts for the "lord of the castle" the monstrous beast-man set his foothold into this small world.

"How's the collection going?" when the beast-man arrived, the first thing he asked was how the DNA collection of the unique life-form was progressed.

"Reporting your majesty, we have collected 81% of the unique life-forms within this region, including the sentient organism, the human, however, there were some who miraculously escaped from our trapper." a smaller beast-man holding a tablet reported while displaying the hologram of creatures such as the Licker, the Cerberus, the biggest of them all was an Ogroman that was previously killed by the Apostle.

"Not bad, after we finish collecting everything we needed, direct all of our attention onto this specific human, he is the holder of the "God Imprint"." the Monstrous Beastman revealed Leonard face and full body in a life-like hologram.

"By your will, your majesty." the smaller beast-man bowed to the giant.

Down on the surface of the Earth, Leonard was oblivious of the danger that literally, hovered above his head and instead worried about how to deal with the Apostle if any more of them decided to show up, knowing they're just foot soldier when they're that strong scared him, he can only manage to stay in his Void Form for so long as to not be affected by the consequences that come with this dangerous power.

This made him reminded of the phrase he heard back in his past life.

"With great powers come great responsibilities," he muttered in a low tone of voice, that specific line was the most iconic line he could remember.

His Void Form has already been deactivated long ago, however, strangely enough, it still affecting his mind, filling them with dark and evil though to create even more destruction for the special "high" that he would get while in that form.

"This could get really addicting." he smiled bitterly as he looked at his shaking hands before looking toward the horizon, more specifically, to the spot where the "meteorite" has supposedly arrived on Earth, he was amused how the authority of the city was scrambling their heads to figure out what the hell was really going on.

"I think it's about time I should get back to the group now, else there will be a lot of "music" to listen too after disappearing for the last day or so." he chuckled as he remembers the event and how it has played out before leaping down onto the dark alleyway below.

"Huh?" when he arrived onto the ground level, two familiar looking figures caught his attention.

Along with another group of lowlife who was so pathetic that they had to live in the dark alleyway of the more isolated part of the district.

"Alright lady, drop everything you had on you and we'll let you go." a mohawk threatened the woman and her child with a short flimsy knife in hand while waving it around like a "Professional" and doing some fake kung-fu knife skill before evolving into a full-on body dance.

Leonard watched the scene with great amusement, watching idiot who knows nothing about Kung-fu dancing around for the spectators while doing that the thugs behind the dancing moron cheered him and complimented how his "Kung-fu" had improved.

The child hid behind the woman as he looked at the "bad" men in front of them, trying to rob them of their precious belonging.

The woman was obviously not amused by the display of clownism and quietly took out an old revolver with a loaded round and aim at one of the legs.

*BANG! The bullet exploded out from the barrel and went right through the thigh of the Mohawk fool who was too busy making some fake "Kung-fu" moves and made him screamed for his dear life before she pointed the revolver at the rest of the thug and pulled back the hammer.

"HIIIII!!!!! SHE HAD A GUN!!! RUN FOR IT!" a thug almost wet his pant after the woman shot the dancing fool in the thigh and made him sang a tune of agony.

"Carry Antonios! We're out of here!" they quickly grabbed the crying mohawk thug and dragged him away quickly while leaving a trail of blood in their escape.

"I never knew you could be that ruthless" Leonard commented as he closed up on the woman from behind and scared her and made her pointed the revolver right on his forehead.

"Oh, it's you! Why are you here?" she was surprised by the appearance of Leonard.

"Leonard!" the little kid cheerfully ran toward Leonard and grab onto his thigh.

"I should be asking you that, shouldn't you be finding your dad by now? Why are you in the alleyway and begging to get rob?" he raised an eyebrow as he asked her.

"Apparently, my dad lives around here somewhere- but seeing that this place seem to be abandoned for quite a while now and turned into a hangout spot for society lowlife, I say he moved away." she turned toward a broken down small house with wall painted with graffiti.

"How long since the last time you visit him?" Leonard asked, seeing the building was indeed, abandoned for quite a long while.

"Ten or fifteen years ago? I don't remember, it's been a while since I ditch this place." she let out a long sigh as he remembers those old days, the one which she doesn't want to talk about.

"Damn, you ran away from home in your teen?" Leonard inner chibi was shocked by the revelation, when he was still in is teen, he was still living with his parent and mooching off of them for who knows how long already before his, unfortunate Isekai through a bowl of Ramen.

"I couldn't help it okay? Back then, life was hard, we barely made enough to put food on the table for all of us, that's the reason why my mom left dad for another man, however, I decided to stay with him- that until it gets out of control when he's involved himself with the gangsters," she told.

"Gangsters? Do you perhaps, know of his name?" Leonard asked her, there might be a chance that he could find her father, since he knows the head of all the gangs and mobs in the district.

"Why? Do you think you can help me? There's a chance that he's already dead too, it's been quite a long while already." she shrugged.

"Just tell me his name, I'll see what I can do." he replied with a serious face.

"It's Joseph, his name is Joseph." she answered in a dejected tone of voice.
