Project Doomsday Paradise

The soldiers looked at Benji as if he was an idiot, starting to laugh only the leader standing on the roof frowned. He saw Benji's c.o.c.ky smile but the eyes of Benji told another story. They lacked any l.u.s.ter, reminding him of eyes from a dead fish. He couldn't detect any emotions in them and there was an eerie aura around him.

The leader observed the gear Benji was wearing, coming to the conclusion that he shouldn't be a pushover.

'So there are really other survivors...' The leader gave a nod to his people.

They stopped laughing, dashing to Benji as their bodies blurred.

Benji shook his head, unsheathing one of his long steel swords.

He had to admit that the soldiers movement speed was fast and fluid, they had certainly experienced many fights but...

He grabbed Kevin, pushing him behind his back. The people on the street had already retreated, watching everything from a safe distance.

His sword blurred for a second, followed by a fountain of blood.

The first soldier found himself spinning in the air, looking confused before dying.

The others flinched for a moment in shock, Benji used that moment to make a move, his fugure vanished, appearing behind another soldier.

His sword cut through the soldiers hip without any problems before he spun around slashing another soldiers arm off.

The soldier screamed in pain as he retreated back, clutching the wound of his missing arm.

One of them who didn't look older than 20 took a very familiar stance, charging a fireball between his hands.

Benji couldn't help but raise his brows in surprise. The soldier gave him a c.o.c.ky smile as he charged the fireball between his hands.

[No way, is he really doing that?] Adam cracked hard, laughing his but off.

Benji was influenced by Adam's laughing, laughing himself.

'100 points for creativity and originality but...'

The soldier took a stance like Son Goku from Dragonball, imitating the Kamehameha.

Benji made a grabbing motion with his free hand, closing his fist.

The grey Force disrupted the charging fireball, causing it to explode.

The explosion of fire was violent, engulfing the other soldiers that didn't have time to protect themselves from the sudden sea of fire.

Benji also made sure to protect the buildings and innocent people.

'The move is cool but who in their right mind would do such a thing and think that the enemy would just stand there and let you charge your attack...'

[Hahahahaha!]

The soldiers were in a sorry state, their clothes and hair burned on many spots.

Benji looked up towards the leader standing on the roof with an ugly expression, "National Force? It's only so-so!" Said Benji with a bored expression as he put his sword away.

The leader turned to Beni, "Who the hell are you?!"

Benji put on a surprised expression, "You don't know? My god, did you guys isolate yourselves so hard that you don't know about the Nine Pillars and what it going on in the word?"

"The Nine Pillars?" Asked the leader confused.

[Bro, hahahahaha] Adam couldn't stop laughing.

"Yes." Benji's expression changed again his face was deadpan serious, "The new rulers of Earth, I'm Solomon the First Pillar and Ruler of Germany and Austria. I was bored and came to Wuppertal to see if there are any survivors..." Benji stopped talking, tuning his head to a direction.

"It seems that your boss is coming..." Said Benji.

The leader followed Benji's gaze, staring at the end of the main street.

A group of people appeared there, most of them wearing the same green military clothes.

The people began to run away in a hurry the moment they saw the group approaching, their expressions revealed a deep-rooted fear.

The elderly man who had was leading the group had a few grey hairs in the middle of his combed black hair. His red eyes looked around, observing the sorry state of the soldiers.

He threw the leading soldier on the roof a questioning gaze.

The soldier jumped down, saluting to the elder man.

"Major Ernst, this man is an outsider who tried to take away our citizens." Spoke the soldier with uttermost respect as he explained in detail what transpired.

The gaze from the elder man called Major Ernst wandered to Benji.

Major Ernst couldn't detect any emotions from Benji's dead like eyes and looked up at his two black horns, frowning.

[He should have consumed a lot of horns...] Commented Adam who saw how strong the red light was coming from Major Ernst.

A middle-aged man who stood right behind Major Ernst stepped forward, "Who are you and why did you come here?"

"Why would I need a reason to visit my lands? I'm Solomon, the First Pillar and Ruler of Germany and Austria." Answered Benji bored.

[You are right but they won't buy it you know...]

'I know, but I don't need them alive so...'

[I get it, smart move!] Agreed Adam while laughing evilly.

Everyone stared at Benji again like he was a madman.

"I still need to visit Düsseldorf, Köln, and Bonn today, I don't have time for this. Most of the world was split between the Nine Pillars so choose, submit or die." Spoke Benji with an emotionless expression.

"Is he crazy? Köln is a deathtrap!"

"He doesn't know what he is talking about!"

Benji grew curious about Köln, deciding to visit it next to look into it.

Veins popped out from the forehead of the middle-aged man and he was about to shout when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"I will speak to him, Philip." Said Major Ernst.

The middle aged man nodded, stepping back.

Major Ernst never stopped staring at Benji, "Solomon, you are spouting too much bullsh*t. Now choose, go and never return or die!"

Benji smiled at his words, making a grabbing motion.

Major Ernst felt how he lost the footing under his feet, flying towards Benji.

He hit the Major right in the c.h.e.s.t, sending him flying backward like a rubber ball.

The Major slammed into the group of soldiers, injuring many of them. He kept flying until crashing into some buildings.

Everyone gasped in shock at the way Benji beat Major Ernst who was by a fair distance the most powerful entity in Wuppertal.

Only Benji himself frowned, looking down at his fist, 'This sensation...'

Kevin who was scared so much that he pied himself couldn't stop looking at Benji as he was some kind of god.

"Do I need to drag you out myself or will you come out on your own?" Shouted Benji, surprising everyone.

A grim looking Major Ernst stepped out from the dust produced by the collapsing buildings.

The realization hit Benji as he saw the grotesque appearance of Major Ernst.

He felt a strange sensation when he punched the Major, it just didn't feel right, also the missing sound of cracking bones made him suspicious. Everything made sense now that he saw the Major.

There were many roots like from trees growing out from his c.h.e.s.t, some parts of them were broken and fell on the ground as he made his way towards Benji.

[He used those roots to soften the impact of your punch...interesting. The giant wall made of trees should be his doing!] Analized Adam amazed by the Major.

'Let's find out how resilient he truly is!' Said Benji to Adam as he licked his lips in anticipation to a good fight.
