(XVIII) The sexy Witch with the green flames
All the billboards and TV stations around the world showed footage of President Mark Black as he was about to make a decision that would affect the whole universe.
"I have decided to introduce a special force team that would eradicate these villains once and for all!"
After those words, the atmosphere fluctuated as a gloomy, shadowy portal appeared and started twirling.
Everyone present and away averted their gaze to the shimmering portals. However, no one could tell what would step out of it.
The president had a wrinkled forehead as he stared up and tried to gauge what would step out of that ominous portal.
'Nice decision' The same crazed voice reverberated in his head.
The president clenched his teeth together as he fought the urge to clasp his skull, because if he did that, the world would see the form he had been trying to hide.
'Whatever you're summoning, I hope it's not something that would cause more harm than good,' Mark Black said as the piercing in his brain dimmed.
'i don't give two fucks about these pony humans! I'm just doing this because we are one, whether you like it or not!'
Another wave of piercings rang in his ears as he fought the urge again.
The shadowy portal continued to twirl as the weather started to turn shady and darkness surrounded the world.
For a moment, it felt like a solar eclipse happened because the entire universe turned cloudy from a bright sunny day.

West Africa...
Above a rocky hill that nearly transcends to the heavens, where a glistening blue water fountain surged, a sturdy ebony-skinned man—with white dangling braids and a huge golden ax—stood as he gazed at the gloomy clouds.
Pulsating golden streaks of lighting swirled and danced all over the man's body; his white pupils shimmered as the golden ax in his grasp radiated an otherworldly pressure that would make gods submit.
"The prophecy! Despite my warning, these humans won't listen! Now we'd face the wrath of those gods!"
The man roared as he rose his ax into the heavens, then a gigantic lightning bolt crashed on him, and he vanished.
On the ground where the
lightning crashed, there were three words.
"Humanity is doomed."

America...
The portal finally stood still as shadowy creatures-- standing seven feet--with purple horns and eerie shadow wings emerged.
The creatures were about 10 in number, and they all had gleaming white gems on their heads with shadows constantly wiggling.
"What have you done?" Mark
Black's chest thumped beneath his tuxedo.
'Hahahaha!' The crazed laugh echoed as these ominous words reverberated.
'A way to solve your problem.'
Mark Black never saw the villains as his problem. Instead, it was more of the normal folk.
'common, simp, your citizens are waiting for you.'
"My fellow citizens. This is the order of the darkness, and they would get rid of the villains once and for all!'
The people watching from the billboards and at home clapped with gleeful grins plastered on their faces.
However, President Mark Black had only one thought lingering in his mind.
"What've I done?"
At the cave...
"Jav, what were those shadowy creatures?"
Ruby had never seen something like this before. However, he knew whatever this was would make his quest harder.
[Jav, can't give an appropriate answer to that question]
Ruby was a bit taken aback by that blunt answer because the system was like an all-knowing entity.
"What do you mean by that? Aren't you all know?"
[Jav, is programmed by the creators to know only specific things]
"Creators?"
This word piqued his interest.
'It must be the ones who made this system, but who are they and why did they make this system?' Ruby silently pondered.
"Who are these creators?"
[Jav, don't know the answer to that question]
"as expected. I knew it would be this sort of answer."
[Host should not worry about the creators instead focus on the supes]
"Yeah, yeah, I heard you. Why do you think I train every day?"
Muna and Megan stared at Ruby from the long coach.
They have been doing this for a while, and it was kind of strange to see Ruby staring into space and muttering to himself.
"Is he always like this?" Megan broke the silence.
"Yes, you'd get used to it," Muna replied.
"Oh, but isn't it weird?"
Megan had never seen Ruby act like this, so she suspected it was a new habit of his.
"Eh? Your name is Muna, right?" Megan faced Muna.
"Umu." Muna bobbed her head.
"If you don't mind, how did you meet Ruby?"
Megan knew Muna would be her rival in Ruby's heart, so she was trying to meek out as much information about her as possible.
There was a slight hesitation on Muna's face as she tried to come up with a believable story.
"We met at a club!" She finally said
"Oh, I see. You worked there?"
"Yes."
"As a striper?" There was a catch in Megan's voice.
"No! As a waiter."
"OK, it's nice meeting you. I'm Megan." She stretched her hands for a handshake.
However, Muna's gaze was fixed on the pulsating veins on Megan's wrist.
The veins throbbed as if they were screaming, suck me!!
Seeing the weird situation, Megan cleared her throat, jolting Muna out of her trance.
"Sorry, I was just curious about your wristwatch." Muna smiled as she firmly shook her hands.
'What a weird girl.'

The next day...
A towering figure adorned in all black with a black face cap shrouding half of his face shuffled on quiet streets crammed with old people in shady, dirty, torn clothes.
The figure avoided the eyes of the preying cameras as he adjusted his cap and continued his strolling.
The shady people all glanced at the figure as if they'd never seen him here before.
A little girl soon scrambled to the figure and roughly tugged on his black trousers.
Ruby stared at the little girl with his gleaming pair of green eyes.
The little girl had a lean physique, a handful of messy hair that concealed half her face, and a pair of gloomy black eyes.
"Little girl, what do you want?" Ruby said in a gentle voice as he squatted to the girl's level.
Ruby always had a soft spot for kids. Maybe it was the regret of not saving his sister. He couldn't tell.
"Mr. Can you spare me some changes?" The girl asked with hope, a full glint swirling in her eyes.
"What about your parents?"
It seemed strange for a little girl of about--maybe-- 5 years to beg on the street and look this dirty.
"Mr. The big, bad men killed them, and now," tears started flooding the girls' eyes.
Ruby felt a pang of pain in his heart as he saw this scene.
"What are they making you do?" His knuckles turned white as a speck of blood oozed out.
"They make me beg on the streets and touch me inappropriately."
"Where are they?" His voice was deep and rugged.
The girl was about to give an answer when a fiery green flame gleamed as it swirled swiftly behind her, knocking the dust away.
Ruby—not caring about her reek—grabbed the little girl in a tight embrace as he decided to teleport.
However, he stopped as a woman—with a pair of glittering gold eyes, lush dangling emerald hair, and enormous D-cup boobs—with a black overcoat and high heels reaching to her knees stepped out.
Ruby yanked the little girl behind him as he scrutinized the woman that even her large overcoat failed to conceal her voluptuous physique.
"What do you—" Ruby discarded her look as he bore his gaze into the woman.
"I mean no harm!" She said as she noticed those grim, piercing green eyes.
Ruby's muscles dropped a bit, but he had already given Javi an Oder.
"My name is Emerald."
"OK, Emerald, what can I do for you?"
"So rude!" She said as she brought her hand to wipe a speck of dirt from the little girl's hair.
Ruby wanted to swat her hands away, but she seemed sincere.
The little girl hesitantly raised her head. When Emerald touched her hair, a vibrant green flame enveloped her as she was set ablaze.
Seeing this, Ruby pulled out a gun--from only God knew—and aimed it at the woman, ready to blow her skull into chunks.
However, the green flame turned into tiny particles as it gradually fluttered into the night sky, radiating a dazzling green glow.
Ruby averted his gaze from the sky as he peered at the little girl.
The little girl looked nourished, as she was now clothed in brand-new clothes, not her old, torn ones.
"You did this?" Ruby raised an eyebrow as he glanced at Emerald.
He already guessed what this was.
"Yes, and you too can get this power if you join us."
