The Maniacal General With His Crazy System

Chapter 13 - How can I have a weakness?

Slowly but surely, Averill's eyes went close and his breathing calmed down significantly. It took over a minute before Averill's mind went black as he went to the land of dreams for the first time since he arrived in this world a week ago.

Yao continued imbuing her magic into Averill, she had a feeling that if she stopped doing so, Averill would wake up by himself the very next second. Yet she also knew, if Averill wanted to wake up, nothing could stop him from waking up, not even her Mystic Arts. That was the reason a smile appeared on Yao's face, she felt joy welling up inside of her for some reason as she gazed at Averill's sleeping face.

And for the very first time, Yao saw Averill's face without a weird smile, grin or a smirk. Yao then began to use her other hand to gently stroke Averill's hair.

Seconds passed by, and when the seconds passed, the minutes flew, and the hours went by. It was only after six entire hours that Averill opened his eyes.

Averill didn't have a dream, it was almost like only a second had passed by, but he felt his mind being much clearer. He knew it without needing to ask, Yao had managed to make him sleep.

'System, how was she able to make me sleep? And, how long as I asleep?' Averill asked without hesitation, he didn't need a weakness, it would be a slight problem if people could force him to sleep.

[Host does not have to worry, no one will be able to force Host to sleep unless Host allows it. And for Host's second question, Host slept for six hours straight.] The System replied without any pause to diminish Averill's worries.

This made Averill a little calmer, he had one less thing to worry about now. And after he threw that thought away from his mind, he gazed up towards the woman that was gazing at him, the woman who made him asleep; Yao. Averill's usual weird smile appeared on his face.

He could see it, that Yao was beyond exhausted from making him asleep for the past six hours. Her skin had gone slightly pale and black rings was apparent under her eyes. But Averill didn't care about it right now, what Averill cared about was that she had made him asleep, she made him weak.

The moment Averill was about to clench his fist, a booming sound could be heard from the outside.

*BOOM!*

And as Averill lazily gazed towards that direction, Yao jumped up to her feet and made a portal in front of her before leaping through it.

Averill stood up slowly before walking towards the window, and when he reached the window, he saw the buildings around were in ruins and corpses everywhere. When Averill gazed further ahead, he saw dozens of people not far away, almost half a dozen of them were wearing golden robes whereas the other ones looked like military soldiers with guns in their hands.

The ones who was wearing golden robes waved their arms at the exact same time, and it didn't take long before Averill felt like they had been teleported into somewhere else. Averill looked around, he saw skyscr.a.p.ers everywhere, but it felt empty, he quickly knew that they were also in a Mirror Dimension.

On one side, he was standing not far away from Yao, Wong and Karl Mordo. Both Wong and Karl Mordo were heavily injuries due to the bombing, whereas Yao and himself were safe.

And on the other side, half a dozen people stood there in golden robes, and over a hundred soldiers alongside a group of seemingly elites in front of them.

Averill's gaze went towards a few people, a black man in a dress who had an eyepatch, a man wearing a tracksuit of a flag and holding onto a shield, a man with a bow, a person in a metal suit, a fragile man that looked scared and an elderly man in a wheelchair.

Whilst Averill was gazing at them with sharp eyes, they were also gazing back at him.

Fury's piercing eye was gazing at both Averill and the Ancient One, he then turned his gaze towards Kaecilius and the old man; Professor Charles Francis Xavier. "Kaecilius, take care of the magicians. Professor, did you find anything about him?"

Kaecilius and the zealots behind him suddenly made portals before they vanished, and as they vanished, Yao, Wong and Karl Mordo vanished too.

Professor Charles Xavier shook his head as he continued gazing at the young man in front of him who was wearing a black military outfit. "Nothing, I can't get anywhere close to him with my abilities. Are you sure that he is physically strong? Because his mental strength is much stronger than mine." Charles Xavier's voice was heavy, he hadn't seen anyone's mental strength being this strong before, but what he didn't know was that the System wouldn't allow anyone to even try coming near Averill's mind.

Fury gave a nod, he was indeed right to take this action, no one so strong should be able to run freely on Earth. Fury had to take action and he would deploy everything he had to kill or restrain the man who called himself; Averill. None of them were able to contact Thor or Asgard, and even Natasha went off-grid, luckily, he managed to convince Professor Charles to act.

"I will act first and stay as the vanguard!" The man with the shield; Steve Rogers aka Captain America began running towards Averill with inhumane speed.

The robot man; Tony Stark aka Iron Man spoke out loudly. "I'll stay high up in the air to support you Capsicle!" Even at times like this; Tony loved to call people by their nicknames. "Legolas, will you act too?"

The one who got called Legolas; Clint Barton aka Hawkeye gave a grunt before nocking an arrow onto the bow, aiming towards Averill.

And as they got ready, over a hundred weapons were aimed at Averill who was still standing there, smiling whilst gazing at them. They felt like they were being underestimated and that Averill was looking down at them, and for them it was a good chance to take him down without any worries.

An explosive arrow was sent towards Averill, hundreds of piercing bullets, rockets, a shield and many more attacks were aimed at Averill, but he stood still.

He had felt relaxed and calm because he had slept for the first time, but he was also annoyed because of that. A weakness like that shouldn't exist, Averill had a mixed emotion of that. But those thoughts didn't need to appear right now, as he was happily waiting for their attacks to reach him.

A malicious smile appeared on his face as the attacks were getting close to him and at the same time, he was about to release his aura.

*Bang!* explosions were heard, yet Averill furrowed his eyebrows as nothing reached him for some reason. A cloud of dust was apparent in front of him, and he tried to gaze through the cloud of dust.
