Strongest Superhuman System

Chapter 38: Princess Talia

Mark charged in for another strike, but a loud voice suddenly shouted from the other side of the room! Both men stopped as the female voice shook the entire building from how loud she was shouting!

"You old fool! What do you think you're doing!? This is not okay at all! Look how you're scaring all the people in the building and making them run away! Even the reporters outside are afraid that we're under attack!"

Mark noticed how the old man immediately relaxed his stance once he heard the girl shouting, and Mark eyed him suspiciously for a moment as he kept his guard up! The old man could only be trying to fool him into thinking he was lowering his guard before attacking when he least expected it! But after there was no more movement from the old man, Mark finally realized that the old man was no longer going to attack and he also relaxed his stance.

Mark turned to look at who was shouting. He expected to see an imposing female figure exuding strength and elegance; there was no way an ordinary person could stop this old man from attacking like that! But when Mark looked to the side, he couldn't see anything. He raised a brow and allowed his eyes to trail down... and down... and down

...

"Who's the midget?"

Mark couldn't help himself once he saw the tiny person who had been shouting at the old man, and he immediately called her a midget! She was a little girl with blue hair and blue eyes, carrying a giant teddy bear with one of her hands while pointing angrily at the two of them! She was wearing a long white gown that came down to her knees and a pair of white shoes. Mark didn't know how she was able to make the building shake with that tiny body of hers! Was she some sort of superhuman? That was crazy! She was barely six years old and she was also a superhuman!?

Once the little girl heard Mark call her a midget, her entire face turned red as she blushed, and her pout deepened in anger! Who was this fool calling her a midget!? At least she wasn't a fool who fought in a populated building and put the lives of everyone there in danger! She was here trying to help him, and he was insulting her! She should just leave him and allow her grandfather to keep doing whatever he wanted! That would teach him not to insult her!

This little girl was Talia Dragonheart, the only granddaughter and last living family member of the old man who attacked Mark. Mark didn't know it, but he was currently in the presence of two of the strongest A-rank superhumans in the world! Talia was born only two years before the Armageddon class anima attacked the world! She and her parents were alone when it happened, and they couldn't do anything as their house was brought down on them! But even after her parents died, Talia managed to survive under the wreckage. She was still holding tightly to a teddy bear that her father got for her a long time ago as she cried while the Armageddon walked over her and sent the rest of the house crashing down on her!

But it was at that moment that the goddess of fertility decided that she would grant her blessing to Talia and give her the strength to fight back! The goddess of fertility was one of the high-tier gods. The only other gods who had the ability to stand against her in terms of cosmic power were the god of games, Sozin, the god of death, Thanatos, the god of war, Ares, and the goddess of life and light, Amaterasu! These five gods were regarded as the five strongest gods in terms of cosmic power alone! Talia received a lot of power from the goddess of fertility, but there was nothing that Talia could do with the power!

She was only a two-year-old child, and she could not fight back even if she wanted to! The only thing that Talia could do at that time was to cry at the top of her lungs! But the goddess of fertility realized that Talia would not be able to fight and she changed her blessing, giving Talia the power to give life to other non-living creatures that would be loyal to her and fight for her! Talia became the youngest summoner alive!

That was when the teddy bear that Talia had with her suddenly came to life and blocked the falling stones that were going to crush Talia before they could harm her! The teddy bear carried little Talia away and brought her to her grandfather, and he has been taking care of her ever since! Even though Talia was two years old, she had already lost more than most people would lose in their entire lifetimes, and her grandfather swore to take care of her properly no matter what.

Talia's power was very versatile because it allowed her to make her summons as strong as she wanted by adding in more mana! That meant that she could create a summon that had the power of an S-rank by giving it enough mana to fight against S-ranks! Although she was not a regular on the battlefield, she was very popular in the superhuman world and people liked to call her PRINCESS because of her pompous but cute personality.

Right now, Talia only had enough power to create A-rank summons, but since Talia could create more than one summon at a time, she was seen as one of the strongest A-rank superhumans in the country due to her versatility. Her main role in any battle was to help those that were trapped under debris and buildings during and after Anima attacks, so she was a very important member of the NSA.

"Fool! Who do you think you're calling a midget!? I'll make my teddy bear break your head if you aren't careful! Fool! Baka!!"

Mark blinked in surprise as the little girl exploded in anger, and he only cocked his head and stared at her curiously! In a way, she reminded him a lot of Arit. They were both always shouting at him! But this girl... she was just too cute. She looked like she was going to pass out any moment from how red her face was, but she was not stopping and she continued to shout at Mark in anger. Mark walked up to her, put his hands under her armpits, and carried her up! Her blush immediately deepened!

"Put me down! Put me down! Put me down right now! I'll send my teddy after you!"

Talia's mana was already surging as she said this, and she was preparing to bring her large teddy bear to life! She was going to blow Mark to oblivion!

"Talia."

The old man who was fighting against Mark suddenly spoke up from behind, and Talia was forced to stop as she pouted again and looked away with a huff! Talia was already prepared to activate her power, but she had to hold herself back because she knew that she was forbidden from using her power unless it was necessary. Her grandfather told her that her power was too strong and she shouldn't use it unless she was in danger that she knew she could not escape from. That meant she couldn't use it against Mark, or her grandfather would get angry at her!

"You're already insulting me when you haven't even introduced yourself to me yet. It's proper manners to introduce yourself before anything else. I'm Mark Vanitas, what's your name?"

"I'm Talia Dragonheart! You may call me Your Highness! Now let go of me!"

Talia was angry that Mark just carried her like it was nothing. She is a princess and she refuses to be treated like this! But Talia was still a child and she could only do what Mark told her to do because she knew that he was right! She was rude by not introducing herself first and she shouldn't have done that. Her grandfather always told her that she should try to be nice to people whenever she got the chance.

Mark frowned once he heard her introduction. He liked the fact that she was still innocent enough to know when she did something wrong, but she shouldn't say things like that. She was too cute to be calling people names!

"Little girls shouldn't have a mouth as foul as yours. You're going to ruin your beauty with that mouth if you keep talking like that."
