Ch. 187 - Fighting the Omnidroids

Quickly backflipping, Tigress successfully avoided the Omnidroid who heavily landed on her previous position, destroying the ground and making a small crater in the process.

"You must be the Omnidroid." Having been informed by Jin about these Omnidroids and how they're used against them supers, Tigress remained slightly cautious according to Jin.

Jin told them that the Omnidroids aren't dangerous because of their strength, but because of their ability to exploit a Super's weakness mid-battle.

For example, the Supers was detected that it is weak in close combat, the Omnidroid would utilize that weakness and engage more in close combat against that Super.

Another example would be if the Super lacked the ability to fly, then the Omnidroid would utilize that and use its flight to its own advantage.

This is the reason why Omnidroids are lethal not in their strength but their capability to detect weaknesses of their opponents and use it to their own advantage.

It's like bearing Sun Tzu's principle which is to Know Your Enemy.

"Come." Receiving no response from the Omnidroid, Tigress assumed that the Omnidroids aren't designed for communication.

As if responding to Tigress's challenge, the Omnidroid swung its tentacles towards Tigress, intending to smash Tigress into a mush pile of flesh.

Unfortunately for the Omnidroid, Tigress could intercept its every move and dodged them with ease.

As soon as Tigress jumped back, the ground in front of her was smashed with a tentacle. She quickly took advantage of the opportunity and swiftly grabbed the tentacle, which was larger than two times of her size, making Tigress bear hug the tentacle.

"Haaahhh!" Mustering her strength, Tigress's feet cracked and sank on the ground as two small craters were formed underneath her feet.

At the same time, Tigress successlly lifted the tentacle and before the Omnidroid could try to take control his tentacle to sway Tigress off of the tentacle, Tigress shifted positions and she's now facing her behind while the tentacle is now slumped off on her shoulder.

"Take this!"

Tigress yelled and with one quick push, the Omnidroid could only confusingly look at its rotating front before getting smashed on the ground.

*Boom!*

Not giving the Omnidroid some chance to move, Tigress immediately jumped on its body.

Looking at its head that is looking back at her, Tigress cast a smirk before gathering some strength on her fist and smashed them on the Omnidroid's head.

*Bam!*

Seeing the head getting detached from its body, Tigress breathed in relief while patting her palms.

Just as she jumped off the Omnidroid's body and landed back on the ground, Tigress's senses suddenly picked up an attack from behind before quickly dodging.

"It could still move without its head?" Staring at the Omnidroid who started standing up despite having no head, Tigress was surprised. She thought that the Omnidroid would die without a head similar to how living beings are supposed to die.

But seeing it standing back up and starting to attack her again, Tigress quickly pushed these thoughts away and dodged the attack of the Omnidroid in a swift manner.

*Bam!*

"How do I kill it then?" Tigress muttered to herself while eyeing the Omnidroid's metallic ball body, trying to find any weaknesses.

Before Tigress could further find its weakness, a tentacle was pulled into its body before being replaced by a tentacle carrying a minigun.

Widening her eyes, Tigress quickly used her chi to make a barrier in front of her.

*Bang!* x50

*Bang!* x50

Facing the large armor piercing bullets hitting her chi barrier, Tigress could see some cracks slowly appearing on the barrier, indicating that being bombarded with armor piercing bullets of the minigun is enough to destroy her chi barrier.

And repairing her chi barrier using her chi reserves would only be useless except for giving her some time.

So Tigress quickly abandoned the idea and swiftly disappeared from her place just in time for the chi barrier to crumble into pieces before smashing the ground where she used to stand, causing a cloud of dust to form.

***

"She's dead for sure!" Inside Syndrome's office, he quickly cheered while watching through the cameras he placed all over the island capturing everyone happening inside.

After seeing Tigress disappear under the hail of bullets and the clouds of dust, Syndrome quickly assumed that the tigress superhero must be torn into pieces of flesh, leaving nothing but a pile of blood.

Even Mirage was shocked and felt sympathy for another 'fallen' superhero.

However, after the cloud of dust dispersed, both Syndrome and Mirage were shocked to see nothing except for bullet holes on the ground.

"Huh? Where is she? Did she perhaps turned into nothingness after being torn into pieces?" Syndrome confusingly pondered while staring at the screen.

Meanwhile, back to the destroyed forest, as soon as the Omnidroid saw no sign of Tigress, it quickly assumed that its mission of eradicating trespassers was already done, so it quickly turned around and was about to leave.

However, before it could do so, a large tree suddenly flew horizontally towards the Omnidroid.

*Boom!*

Having a heavy weight combined with its speed, the momentum of the flying tree is enough to pierce through the middle body of the Omnidroid.

Staring at the large hole on its body, Syndrome and Mirage could only watch as the Omnidroid that he specially created for Tigress fell on the ground.

Watching as the Tigress that is supposed to be dead walking away from the scene, probably to find the others, Syndrome quickly reacted and tapped in a command while shouting to no one.

"Send the Goons!" Which refers to an average Omnidroid, it isn't anything special except for its basic functions and program unlike the Omnidroids that he specially designed for each Supers in the world.

Seeing his state, Mirage could only shake her head, though she was happy inside her mind that Tigress survived and walked away just fine. She's sure that Tigress would be able to handle the Goons just fine.

***

At the same time as Tigress fightng her Omnidroid, Mavis landed on the ground after shifting back to her humanoid form.

*Inhale!*

"Haaahh!" Taking in the fresh air through her nostrils, Mavis closed her eyes in pleasure.

"Fresh air!"

However, before Mavis could continue inhaling and exhaling, her senses suddenly picked up a very fast projectile heading towards her.

Quickly stepping aside, letting 'projectile' hit the tree in front of her.

Looking on her side, Mavis could finally see what the projectile looks like.

"Is this a metal string? But isn't it too large to be a string?" Mavis scratched her head and said in confusion.

Before Mavis could further question the metal string, the said string detached from the tree and flew back to where it came from, making Mavis turn around to see where or who it belongs too.

As soon as she did, Mavis was faced with the Omnidroid, which is a lot smaller than the Omnidroid that Tigress fought.

"You must be the Omnidroid, right? You're smaller than I thought." Mavis said, expecting a response but after receiving no reply, Mavis sighed, thinking that the fight would be full and boring.

This is a hobby that she has formed during her times of fighting crime, she has grown to like communicating with her opponents to make the fight exciting for her.

If Jin were to hear her thoughts, he would definitely be reminded of Spider Man who likes to ridicule his opponents whenever he can.

*Swoosh!*

While talking, Mavis was suddenly surprised when the Omnidroid launched two of its tentacles towards her, forcing her to stop running her mouth and turn into a bat before she flew down, effectively dodging the attack.

"Hey! I'm still talking! You' re rude!" Mavis yelled angrily, although she's still blabbering her mouth, but she's already moving towards the Omnidroid, preparing to fight it.

*Szrzrzrzrzrzr!*

Seeing Mavis dashing towards it, the two tentacles she dodged earlier quickly turned into a pair of rotating blades before chasing after Mavis's bat form.

*Gasp!*

Gasping in shock after seeing the two blades chasing after her, Mavis quickly closed in with the Omnidroid and flew underneath it while still being followed by blades.

However, due to the blades being connected to the Omnidroid's tentacles, what do you think will happen if it flew underneath it?

*Boom!*

Just as the blade reached its maximum length, the Omnidroid suddenly flipped backward and crashed on the ground very hard.

"Haha! That's what you deserve for interrupting me!" Seeing the Omnidroid's predicament, Mavis took this chance to blabber her mouth again and mock it.

However, just as Mavis was about to pose in victory, the rotating blades that have reached its maximum length suddenly detached from its tentacles before being boosted by a flame behind it, slowly catching up to Mavis.

"Uh-oh!" Seeing this, Mavis quickly stopped her mouth from running and flew back to her human form, allowing the gravity to pull her back down on the ground, effectively dodging the pair of rotating blades once again.

However, just as she smoothly landed on the ground, the pair of rotating blades suddenly made a U-turn and followed Mavis back down on the ground.

"Alright, out of everyone I fought, you'll be on top of my most annoying enemies!"

***

At the same time as Mavis meeting her own Omnidroid, the others also landed on the ground and met their own Omnidroids.

However, out of all of them who are facing their own Omnidroids, Jin is the only exception, quietly waiting for his Omnidroid to attack him.

"Did Syndrome forget about me?" He wondered.
