Upgrade

"So you wish to die again?" Edward smiled

"My elder brother...wouldn't lose so why would I?" Zaiden said "I'm awake....Edward."

[Congratulations....Villain System has passed through its first upgrade. Please enjoy your enhanced benefits, hearts and skulls, Zaiden]

The panic in their enemy's face wasn't hidden well enough for Zaiden to pick up. Seeing the uneasiness in Zaiden's eyes, he smirked at the unease and advanced with his white tiger in front of him. Edward was shocked as his face was clawed and Zaiden held his neck.

The gorilla threw Toffee above, red markings were at the corner of her mouth and let out an eardrum popping sound. Edward was held upward to her scream, he shifted his sword and sliced off Zaiden's arm.

Harvey's snake with an open mouth was below. Edward prepared to slice it when a poisonous mist was released towards him. Edward threw another blade, but it was caught by Leo, who was carried by his enlarged eagle and aimed at his neck.

The side of Edward's neck was sliced as he plunged his hand into Leo's chest. Leo smiled broadly as he imploded and Sophie came through the smoke. Her leg crashed on his torso, she grabbed his arm and twisted violently with unnormal strength. The skin tore revealing the underlying muscle and the arm popped out of its socket.

Diego grabbed a chuck of Edward's shoulder and fed it to his hyena. Sophie pulled the arm upwards showing tearing ligaments before she pulled it off and the Evils made distance between them.

"We'll need a suicide mission." Diego smiled with a cold sweat

Zander replied, "Just tell us you damn hatter."

Xayn held Urvi's hand as war flooded in on them from all directions.

"Urvi....you need to give birth now." Xayn went seriously

"Fuck..." Urvi clicked "In this situation?!"

Xenia held her other hand. "Yes, now."

Dylan got up, blood dripping from his head stained his clothes and everything was spinning painfully causing nausea. As he whiffed in the air, a forked tongue slipped out of his mouth and snakes appeared out of his shadow.

"Do what you have to." Dylan went in the direction of Urvi's smell

Ivan lifted Sera and stood up with a smile. "Sorry, Dylan."

The Players paused to soak in the apology from Ivan hoping perhaps he had become saner. Although he tossed his wife over his shoulder behind him extinguishing the flames of hope.

"I'm not on strike." Ivan went "Blood, get your ass here."

"Where's my 'sorry, Blood' hmm?" Blood smiled

Ivan gave a really?-look without hesitation before opening his new system panel.

"Let me play with you." Ivan smiled as his body started to eerily glow from his body "Yeah, I missed this."

Sharks started to violently swarm out of the soil and water flooded from all directions away from Ivan. Sera was in a cage of water and Ivan looked down at her with a smile, "Don't go anywhere, kay, dear?"

".... Okay." she responded to his oppressive aura

Navaeh's wings came out and she flew up into the sky and let out a battle shriek. The water rose upwards into water dragons and shot all directions. Dylan was lifted upward toward an incoming Cross but Jaxon jumped in from of him.

He collided with Cross with black flames as Laasya pulled Dylan away towards Yasmin. She started to recite a high-tier healing spell while the others protected her.

"NO!!! NO!!!" Edward yelled seeing the shifts in the war below

Zaiden smirked, "I raised him well."

"You mean manipulation?" Sophie frowned

"Call it whatever you want." Zaiden pouted "It is simply using the emotions of others to your advantage. Call it- Adaptation."

"GO AND DEAL WITH THEM!!!" Edward ordered

Navaeh shifted her body and her talons collided with the metal of an axe held by a man. She smiled as her talons broke into the axe with ease.

Dylan rushed upwards and pushed the others out of the way of an attack. Dylan hissed silently to a winged woman, "Commander, we finally met. Do you remember me?"

"Do we know each other?" he smiled

Kingly removed the sword in his clavicle region, gripped his spear and smiled towards Leo. Several swords surrounded him as his face was enveloped in shock.

"Aren't you a player?" Leo went

Kingly smiled, "Did I ever say I was?"

A strong aura was released from his body with an afterimage of something. His eyes had a scary glow as he licked his lips. "Round Two?"

"What is he?" Leo thought advancing

After fighting for three dimensions, both Freya and the woman she pursued, Odera, were covered in wounds. Freya reloaded her machine gun and had a small smile.

"Little girl give up." Odera went

Freya replied, "I will get revenge for my junior. So please write your will...I'll say it at your funeral"

The villain jumped into the air, aimed perfectly, and was about to fire. She suddenly felt herself on the floor with a gaping hole in her body and bleeding terribly.

"Thanks brother." she heard Odera say

Anger boiled up in her body.

[Due to your anger and the upgrade to the system. You can summon two high rankers of the Villain System and heal yourself. Want to make an exchange for this benefit?]

"Ha..." she smiled

"Brother?" Odera reacted

He turned seeing Freya injury closing up and standing up with a devious smile. Two portals opened up and threw something to earth.

"What the fuck....wasn't I at the brothel?" a gruff voice groaned

The smoke cleared revealing a woman in a longline black sports bra and black trousers. Her well-toned muscular body was covered in scars both old and new. She looked around and tossed her red platform high heels aside.

"Any idea what's happening?" she frowned. "Zaiden, didn't I use my vacation days?"

A goldfish with a pink-shimmering tail flew around her face blowing bubbles up.

"No way, Gills. Zaiden won't do that." She went picking Freya. "I believe it's her fault."

"Seniors I need your help." Freya sulked

The woman smiled, "I guess I should blow some steam."

"Rank 14, Maddie D. Hellfang and Rank 8, Gills Reeds will play with you."

"Wait that fish is a player?!" they went

Gills blew up bubbles with delight.
