Ikuya's Past (Part 2 Final)

The old man named Joshua Sypher looked at Ikuya's cold gaze and shivered.

' Those are not the eyes, a ten year old child should have. What kind of life did this child live?' The old man thought.

" 3." Ikuya started the countdown.

" Ah? Wait! I'm a Superhuman just like you. I have the power of prophecy and clairvoyance. I was able to predict your arrival at this place, so I came to meet you." The old man said.

" Oh? Now that you've seen me, what do you want?" Ikuya asked.

" If nothing, get lost." Ikuya said.

" Actually I wanted to bring you to the Superhuman Management Organization, since you're a Superhuman as well." The old man said.

" And what makes you think I'll come with you to some unknown place?" Ikuya couldn't help but ask sarcastically.

" Well, lets rephrase it shall we? Superhuman Management Organization is a group created by the combined efforts of all the groups in order to make sure to provide assistance to Superhumans and help them lead a normal life. It also make sure to prevent Superhumans from going out of control and bringing chaos to the secular world to ensure balance." The old man explained with a kind smile.

" So?... What's your point?" Ikuya asked.

" Since you're a Superhuman as well, you should also join the organization in order to avoid unnecessary trouble from the world management. It's for the balance of the world." The old man said.

" I still don't get what all this have to do with me. I couldn't care less about the so called world balance. The world could go rot for all I care." Ikuya said bluntly with disinterest as he continued, " If that is all, I'm leaving. It was fun talking to you since it's been years since I talked to a decent person."

" You get one hundred million dollars after you join the organization." The old said with a smile, unperturbed by Ikuya's disinterest.

Ikuya flinched then looked at the old man and asked, " Did you say dollars?"

" Yes. And those who enter the top hundred ranked Superhumans, they get five hundred million dollars. There will be annual payment as well. You just have to do some tasks that the organization assigns to you." The old man said.

" Your organization seems pretty rich if they are capable of giving away such a huge amount of money." Ikuya said.

" There are only a little more than Four hundred Superhumans in the entire world. Their capabilities are very useful, so the organization doesn't mind giving away some money." The old man said.

" Hmmm.... Well... Although appealing, not appealing enough for me." Ikuya said.

The old man slightly laughed at Ikuya's words. He said, " The rank one Superhuman gets three billion dollars and his payment is also more than the others, suiting the strongest Superhuman, don't you think?" The old man asked while looking intently at Ikuya.

Ikuya was stunned and didn't know why, but from the time he had spent in the Dark World, he developed a habit of collecting and keeping a huge amount of money, almost like a fetish.

" Okay, I'm in. Just remember. Try anything funny and I'll wipe out you and your organization of the face of this planet." Ikuya said with a cold tone.

" Then that's that. Now lets go to airport." The old man said to Ikuya.

" Are there plenty of those Superhumans at your organization at the moment?" Ikuya asked.

" Yes they are since five hours from now, a conference will be held." The old man said.

Ikuya didn't say anything and walked next to the old man and touched him and...

*Fwip*

They both vanished from the place. Luckily, there was no one in the vicinity to witness this.

The next second, they were at Russia, in the hidden Superhuman Management Organization.

The place was like a massive palace, just that it was simple gray coloured.

" We are here." Ikuya said.

The old man named Joshua Sypher was shocked for a moment before smiling wryly.

" Are you capable of things other than teleportation as well?" The old man asked.

" .... " Ikuya didn't answer it as he found no merit in doing so.

The old man simply smiled as he closed his eyes for a few seconds. Ikuya felt mental energy fluctuations coming from the old man.

After ten seconds, the old man opened his eyes and lead Ikuya deeper into the massive mansion.

After they arrived at a room that seemed quite special and was very neat, the old man said to Ikuya, " It'll take a while for others to gather. Why don't you watch some movies in the meantime?"

" I'd rather not. To me, their acting is too obvious that it takes away whatever interest I have in watching the movie." Ikuya said. Having a god-like perception has spoiled a lot of things for him and a real life movie is not the worst of it.

" I see.... Then I have the perfect thing for you." The old man smiled as he took out a 7 inch screen tab from a shelf and did some things with it and gave it to Ikuya and said, " Watch it."

Ikuya saw something a bit familiar to cartoons playing in tab screen.

" This is...?"

" It's not cartoon. Don't mistake it. It's called anime. The thing I like the most about Japan. I'm surprised you don't know of it since you're Japanese yourself. Then again, can't blame you since you're only a ten year old child." The old man said as he looked over at Ikuya, only to find out that the kid is solely focused on the tab screen and from time to time, a faint smile appeared on the boy's face.

The old man also smiled at the sight.

.....

After four hours.

In a very large ground, which seemed to be a training ground, stood Ikuya with a dissatisfied expression since the old man interrupted the source of entertainment he had found after so long in the name of some Qualification test.

Surrounding him in a distance were about four hundred people with a lot of mental energy fluctuations on them.

" Is that the Alpha Human from the chairman's prophecy? But he's just a child."

" One can't be judged based on their appearance alone. The boy might be a mighty wolf in a pitiful sheep's skin."

" Just how much mental energy and life energy can a child's body contain?"

" Such a disappointment. I was having a lot of expectations because of that name 'Alpha Human'. But it ended up being such a letdown."

" Indeed. And the chairman actually wants every Superhumans to attack this child? I really don't know what to do."

" Indeed. Defying the order of Chairman will not end up good for us."

...

..

.

Amidst the chattering of all the people, Ikuya looked at all of them once and his expression became that of disappointment.

" What a waste of time." Ikuya said in disappointment, not caring for the reactions of others.

He raised a hand and was about to call upon his power before being interrupted by the old man Joshua Sypher.

" Don't kill anyone, please." The old man said.

Ikuya didn't turn to look at the old man as he asked coldly, " What makes you think I'll listen to you? I always finish off what I started and I will not tolerate anyone interrupting me."

" How about I buy all of their lives?" The old man asked.

Ikuya tilted his head in interest as he said, " This is certainly a first for me."

" Lets see now, since there are four hundred and nine of them, give me five hundred million dollars and I'll spare them. I'm being reasonable here just so you know." Ikuya said.

Before the old man could reply, the Superhumans who were momentarily stunned to silence burst out in anger and humiliation of being looked down upon by a kid.

" Chairman, aren't your words equal to you not having any trust in us. In me, the strongest Superhuman, Foreus?!" A muscular man exclaimed after the chattering of the others died down.

" How stupid." Ikuya muttered as a massive pressure erupted from him, causing every single one of them except for the old man to powerlessly fall to the ground.

" I'm leaving old man. Don't forget the money you owe me... And, I'll be taking the tab with me. In return, I'll help you just one time when you're in trouble."

" See ya."

*Fwip!*

And with that, the ten years old Ikuya disappeared from the spot, leaving behind a wryly smiling old man as the old man said, " From today onwards, you're 'The Zenith', the strongest Superhuman."

....

Back to present.

Ikuya was sitting in his bed in the spare bedroom since he completely disintegrated everything in the room where the treacherous couple had their private time.

Ikuya had his eyes closed as he was meditating to calm his disturbed mind.

After he was done, he had planned to watch some newly released anime episodes. But because of the instability of his mind at the moment, he had no choice but to go to bed.

The next morning.

Ikuya smiled as he brushed his hair. He'd been non-stop smiling the entire morning in anticipation. He left the apartment and directly teleported to Shibuya.

Today was the day, the Dragon Ball Super Broly movie is being released in the theatres. He had already pre-booked the tickets for the movie and was waiting for a certain annoying girl since she had asked to watch the movie with him, much to his dismay. But he had no other choice. He had owed her a favour and she had asked him to repay her by taking her with him to the Broly movie.

Despite having dressed casually in just a plain shirt and jeans, a baseball cap, Ikuya still stood out in the crowd due to his charismatic yet indifferent aura. His blue eyes were like women attracting magnets.

Ikuya had been standing next to the Hachiko-guchi statue just outside Shibuya Station for the past half an hour and a group of highschool teenage girls a short distance away were clearly trying to snap a picture of Ikuya and failing to do so indiscreetly. Ikuya simply pushed down his cap with a finger and slouched in an effort to blend in with the surroundings and dispel any sort of attention towards him.

" That guy looks so handsome. Especially those sky blue eyes. Wonder if he's a model?" whispered a girl towards her group of friends as they passed by Ikuya.

" This is starting to get annoying… that woman has some nerve making me wait like this.... I'll make sure to teach her a damn lesson later." Ikuya thought while grunting in discomfort.

Getting annoyed by the unwanted attention he was getting, he simply walked away while leaving a strain of his mental energy on the station, in case the woman might appear here.

When he reached an alley where there was no one, suddenly a black circle appeared below him as a black matter wrapped around him.

Ikuya didn't have any changes in his expression, as if he'd expected this development. The black matter completely wrapped around him and he vanished from the place along with the black matter.

Ikuya appeared in an island which seemed pretty inhabited.

" Welcome, Lord Zenith. It's been a while hasn't it?" A rough manly voice said.

Ikuya slightly tilted his head and saw a group of people looking at him, some with smiles while some looking warily. Ikuya's expression turned into that of irritation when he looked at the source of the manly voice.

" You again? Don't you ever learn your lesson? I spared you twice begrudgingly because of your grandfather's pleading. Yet you still have the nerve to mess with me again?" Ikuya said.

" The Zenith! The strongest superhuman. Your ability, Genetic Access is said to have no limits for its possible developments. That is exactly why, this time I'll definitely steal it from you with my Ability Steal power!" The guy with manly voice said.

" I am the one who should truly be the Strongest superhuman! Me, Carius Leztroak!" The guy named Carius said as he continued, " This time I'll definitely steal that ability from you."

Ikuya was getting annoyed as he said, " This time, no one is going to save you."

" Hah! This time I have the rank three of the top 10 strongest Superhumans helping me. They have the powers which can be your fatal weakness." Carius said smiling evilly.

" Idiot." Ikuya muttered as he stared at Carius in disappointment.

*Whoosh!*

Suddenly, a muscular black skinned man with a big war axe on his hands charged at Ikuya and struck at Ikuya with his war axe.

*Booom!!!*

*Crack!!* *Crash!!*

The instant the black skinned muscular man struck his war axe at Ikuya, massive shockwaves were generated as dust filled the entire place.

' He didn't dodge that. He didn't use his mental energy to defend either. He must definitely be heavily injured at the very least.' Carius thought as he looked at the dust cloud.

" Barbatos.... It seems you want to die soon, huh?" Ikuya's voice came forth as the dust was swept away by a powerful wind.

Carius and his co couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Ikuya was holding on to the blade of the war axe with his bare hand and that too, effortlessly.

They were freaked out.

" Impossible!"

" How could he stop Demigod Barbatos's attack like it's nothing?!"

" No! This can't be real! Demigod Barbatos can easily stop a high-speed moving train in its tracks, there's no way a human could stop his attack!!"

Carius stared at the unbelievable scene in front of him with slack jaws. But then he regained his smile.

' You should be capable of such a thing. Otherwise your special ability wouldn't be worth my time.' Carius thought.

" Cellular Disintegration." Ikuya muttered as his eyes shined with blue radiance.

" Wha?!!" Barbatos was startled because his war axe had disintegrated into nothingness and his powerful body was also starting to disintegrate.

Frustration filled his heart. Barbatos looked at Ikuya, and was frustrated that he couldn't even put a scratch on this man.

Barbatos concentrated all his power on his left hand which had not yet started to disintegrate. But this action caused the rest of his body to disintegrate faster at cellular level.

Ikuya was surprised by this. Usually, everyone would start to despair when in such a position, but Barbatos was actually more focused on defeating him that he completely disregarded his life.

*Pow!!*

A massive force attacked Ikuya as Barbatos punched him and sent him flying across the island and the momentum didn't stop as a massive fist of pure life energy crashed Ikuya into the seabed below hundreds of feet beneath the sea surface.

" Even that didn't hurt him huh? Well, it's a pity I don't get the chance to surpass him." Barbatos muttered as he looked into the distance where Ikuya was sent flying with a wry smile.

He turned to Carius and said, " Young Carius, you should run, although the chances are slim. The Zenith has most likely reached the levels of a God-level Superhuman."

Within seconds, he was completely disintegrated into cellular levels, disappearing from this world.

Carius's face paled when he heard the term 'God-level'. So did the others. They all knew that 'The Zenith' Ikuya was at least a Demigod-level Superhuman since he was the strongest superhuman. But never would they have imagined that Ikuya would be a God-level Superhuman.

Under the sea, eight hundred feet below the surface, Ikuya was staring upwards with a smile. A colourless barrier was shielding him from water.

" To think the rank 3 Superhuman was so powerful. It's a pity that he had to die like that. With a bit of my help, he could have become a god level Superhuman." Ikuya thought with a regretful tone.

Suddenly he noticed something floating by his side, shining with a white glow.

It was a white pearl.

Ikuya was intrigued by this. But he was startled when the white pearl suddenly attached itself to his chest and emitted a suction force that was sucking his entire existence into it.

He tried to disintegrate it, but to no avail. He tried various of his methods. But it was of no use.

" Quick everyone! Get in the warp circle." This voice entered his ears and his expression became grim, then a deathly cold smile crept into his face.

" Since this thing is taking me away, most probably killing me, I might as well go out with a bang." Ikuya muttered as he stared at the white pearl.

He teleported with what little power he could use at the moment and appeared right above the inhabited island to see the same black matter that brought him to this inhabited island.

" We..... We can't get out of here! The Zenith has locked down the space here!" A brown haired man said.

" What?!!" Carius and his lackeys exclaimed.

Ikuya smirked in disdain.

" Its because of your wretched pranks that I'm in this situation. You can forget about leaving here alive!" Ikuya said.

Ikuya extended both of his hands and a terrifying pressure engulfed the entire island, that made Carius and his lackeys almost piss their pants.

" Atomic Disintegration!" Ikuya shouted in his mind.

In a matter of seconds, the island along with everything that existed in it, including Carius and his lackeys were no longer. Their existence was wiped out. They had been disintegrated at atomic levels, never to be seen again.

" I hate leaving behind unfinished business." Ikuya smirked and all the resistance he was putting up against the suction power of the white pearl crumbled the moment he used 'Atomic Disintegration' and his whole existence was sucked into the mysterious white pearl.

After that, the white pearl vanished. With it, the Strongest Superhuman, 'The Zenith', Ikuya Senya had mysteriously vanished from the world.
