The Maniacal General With His Crazy System

Everything fell apart for the Heroes in Gotham City… They were all heavily injured, and it couldn't be hidden from the eyes of the civilians and the government.

Chaos and mayhem appeared not only in Gotham City, but it left unrest throughout the entire planet. It was due to both Batman and Superman alongside many other heroes were left in a state of being half-dead, in the eyes of many people, Superman was almost like a God, but when news popped up that Superman was unconscious and left in a half-dead state, how couldn't they be worried?

Superman was a benevolent person who saved those who called out his name… Superman not only saved people from injustice, he helped those in need, he would always be there for those who needed a saviour.

A picture of him was being shown on the television and printed on every single newspaper, a picture of Superman laying unconscious on the ground, his face was bloodied, and his outfit was ripped and tattered.

Alongside Superman, laid Batman, the one who all villains feared. If Superman was the one who stood in the light and saved people, then Batman was the one who stood in the dark and persecuted villains…

Both Superman and Batman were heroes in their own regard, just like two sides of a coin, one that shone for everyone to see and the other one that was hidden. But they were the same, Heroes…!

Too many people were worried for the health and wellbeing of Batman and Superman, but that worry quickly changed into something else… Who could have defeated Batman and Superman that easily, and what were their goals? And if not even Batman and Superman could deal with them, then who could?!

The government quickly found out the reason for it, but they never released any information about it. They had found the source of everything, a group of three people. From their interrogations of the injured heroes, they found out that their names were Laura, Saitama and Averill. And the frightening thing they found out was that only Laura and Saitama defeated all the heroes by themselves, not allowing their leader – Averill, do anything. The higher-ups thought that Averill wasn't strong, but that thought was quickly rebuked as it was clear that Averill was even stronger than his two underlings.

It wasn't only that, they also found out that Averill had forced The Joker and Catwoman to do their bidding whilst also placing his underlings by their side.

In a small room that was hidden from most people in the United States other than half a dozen people. Currently in the room, six people were sitting around a round table. Of the six people, there were three men and three females, and they were all old, the youngest of them seemed to be at least sixty years old.

Two of the men were bald, the other one had short white hair. The three old ladies had long hair, one of them had white hair, the second one had grey hair borderlining white and the last one had dark grey hair.

And in front of each of them were a hologram that showed the fight between Laura and Saitama versus the Heroes in Gotham City. They had seen the fight thrice now, but this time, they were all gazing at the one who had suddenly appeared towards the end of the fight; Averill.

The video stopped and the hologram focused on Averill, his body and face were showing in a large frame.

One of the old men who was bald suddenly remarked. "Was he in a battle prior to showing up…?" He then poked towards the clothes Averill was wearing, he could see that it was slightly out of place, for example his sleeves weren't going down straight and the corner of his pants was twisted slightly.

This old man's name is Jonathan. He was turning eighty-two years this year, and throughout his life, he had spent almost fifty years in the military; his rank before his retirement was Field Marshal.

And if there was one thing Jonathan knew, was that how a soldier would wear his military outfit. And from what he could tell; Averill was a person who would wear his military outfit perfectly, so the only reason his outfit wasn't neat had to be due to a battle.

"Might be." The oldest of them, Amelia responded before continuing. "But it doesn't matter because we know one thing. That Averill wasn't present on Earth for the past few days, which means he has the ability to teleport. And from what you commented on, that he fought against Aliens on other planets." Her voice was rather bright and didn't hold any kind of tiredness in it.

The youngest woman in the group with dark grey hair suddenly spoke up. "Then what are we going to do? Saitama who seems to be second strongest in that group managed to easily defeat Superman. Even if we don't like relying on Clark Kent, we can't deny that Clark is the strongest alien on our side for the time being." Isabella commented in a calm voice.

Thor, the old man who had short white hair suddenly spoke out in a quiet voice. "We still have Damage and Spectre." Thor then began speaking calmly to the rest. "Damage is someone we can control, and he might be able to defeat Saitama, but that wouldn't be enough. Spectre on the other than isn't a thing we can control, but we don't need to control Spectre, we only need to show him what is happening."

Everyone suddenly turned their gazes towards Thor at the same time.

"Do you want to bring forth Spectre?!" Amelia couldn't help but to ask in a cold tone.

Before Thor could even speak, someone else spoke for him.

"Amelia, do you honestly think we will be able to deal with Averill and his group by ourselves? We are not those who we used to be before, even if we step out and fight ourselves, we would be defeated. And if that happens, who will hold our positions then?" Jonathan sided with Thor, because he knew one thing for sure, that Averill wasn't someone that they could beat with what they have…

"I still refuse in bringing forth Spectre to this world again!" Amelia denied yet again in a tone filled with anger. But it only took her a few seconds before she calmed down. "Let us first try Damage, if nothing else works, then I will agree that we must seek forth Spectre…"
