My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—

Chapter 534  The Blob Humanoid

Over the course of history, there was not a single instance when the Shinkansen was derailed. There weren't even reported injuries on the train, even though there were a handful of times when a passenger died of natural causes inside.

That's why the news felt like a fever dream to Silk Girl and she bolted upright, wondering if the superhero was trolling her or not. However, the superhero wore a straight face and his ragged breathing indicated that he wasn't joking at all. There was only one way to confirm whether he was telling the truth or not really.

Without further ado, Silk Girl turned on the television in her office, it was a hologram that played the news in a 3D manner, and Silk Girl immediately went to the news channel to see if the Shinkansen had really been totaled.

After all, the news of the Shinkansen derailing is probably one of the most shocking things to happen in the entire world. And there it was, an emergency report in all news channels regarding the Shinkansen derailing. As it turned out, the superhero was telling the truth, and the unexpected accident had really occurred in the Shinkansen.

"We have to go, leader," The superhero called out before getting out of there.

Silk Girl was still experiencing shock, and he watched the Shinkansen careening to one side of the rails as the tragedy was caught on camera. Fortunately, there were a couple of superheroes in the vicinity, and they were able to correct the Shinkansen before more incidents happened. They were quick to jump into the fray, rescuing civilians and making full use of their power.

"I have to go." Silk Girl hyped herself up. If she could help with the rescue even if it was just a little bit, then she had to leave now. Otherwise, a passing second is a wasted second, and she won't be able to do anything if she was too late in the scene.

Within a minute, Silk Girl had already suited up, and she got out of her agency, swinging through the buildings thanks to his superstrong silk that came out of her hands. There was no way she'd miss the derailment of the Shinkansen, not when there might be more trouble lingering in the background.

From afar, the people who were casually walking through the street saw Silk Girl zipping through the air. They all cheered for her, but that didn't help put her mind at ease. And a couple of minutes later, she finally saw what happened to the Shinkansen.

Well, the damage was minimal, thanks to the superheroes who held it up when it suddenly derailed. Most of the superheroes who managed to catch it in the air while it was at its top speed were outside the train.

Hundreds of people gathered around the place as the other superheroes put it back on its train tracks. Still, the trouble didn't stop there. As it turned out, the Shinkansen wasn't the only one affected. In fact, an entire section near the station was damaged due to some sort of meteorite.

In droves, the reporters gathered around the place, reporting everything live on their own channels. They had no idea where the meteorite came from, nor did the satellites detect its passage to the Earth. Even the other superheroes who were watching the headlines were utterly shocked since they didn't sense the meteor going down.

"What's going on here?" Silk Girl asked the moment she swung on one building and touched down in front of the reporters. At this point, she didn't care at all whether the reporters snagged a couple of her photos or not. Right now, she was dying to know what was happening, and the superheroes in the background also shared the same sentiment.

"You're here." Right behind her, a famous superhero appeared in the scene, causing everyone to murmur amongst themselves as they took photos of her.'

It was none other than Otomi Elimine, also known by her superhero name 'Plume'. She was just like Silk Girl since she too learned the ropes of being a superhero under the Midoriyama Duo. That's why Silk Girl thought of her as a rival more than anything else, even though, she was already more successful than her.

Of course, if Plume was there, then the Eye Goddess should also be around since they were both in the same agency. And as expected, the Eye Goddess appeared, slowly pushing her way through the crowd just so she could inform the superheroes present about the meteorite.

One look and the superheroes could more or less tell that the meteorite was a prelude to an alien invasion. In recent years, there were multiple incidents of alien invasions on Earth, but no one knew why such was the case. However, most Disciples were already aware of what had caused these invasions.

When the World Eater first appeared, trying to swallow the entirety of the galaxy where Earth was, the entire Milky Way Galaxy formed an alliance with Earth, and they were able to push back the World Eater and defend the universe for good.

However, that didn't come with repercussions. Every single race except mankind was deleted from the universe. There were no other life forms in the universe anymore, however, it was still the main highway when it came to other dimensions.

That's why, whenever alien invaders from other dimensions would look for a place to conquer in this universe, they would only happen to see the humans on Earth. As such, they were left with no choice but to invade it. After all, most alien invaders don't have a place, and they were desperate to conquer new land for their race to settle in.

Hence the frequent invasions on Earth. This information was only known to Disciples though, since they were the ones tasked with defending the universe from the World Eater when he awakens. Back to the meteor... "I believe... that is a remnant of the World Eater." The Eye Goddess commented out of nowhere, causing the superheroes to turn their heads to each other since they had no idea who or what the World Eater was.

To be fair, this was the first time they heard anything regarding the World Eater. That's why even the most veteran of superheroes shook their heads in bewilderment. "Eye Goddess, what's the World Eater?" Elimine asked. The entire area went quiet as they intently listened in to Eye Goddess's reply. It felt like she was about to say something important, that's why no one dared speak over her. However, Eye Goddess remained silent. Instead of responding to them, she raised her hand and pointed at the meteorite. Quite frankly, the Eye Goddess became so shocked that she blurted out something she shouldn't have. There was no way she could retract her words, that's why instead of explaining what she said, she found a suitable distraction. As if on cue, the meteorite seemed to soften a little bit, it appeared more malleable. And then it turned into a nice red color before it started pulsating. Now resembling a big blob of red, the meteorite grew larger, before transforming into a gooey humanoid form with soft tentacles. "What's that?"

"I don't know. Is that the blob?"

14:00

"What are you talking about?! It's a slime."

"Either way, we should get out of here, right? Let the experts take care of it." "Dude, we're the experts. We're the superheroes on the scene."

"Oh."

While a group of superheroes were having a somewhat dumb topic, the meteorite had completed its transformation. And now it started charging at the crowd, flailing its soft tentacles around. It didn't talk at all, it just shrieked with a muffled voice as if gurgling a mouthwash. "Everyone dodge! Get the reporters outta here!" Plume screamed, giving the superheroes a little bit of unity before they engaged in combat. In an instant, the superhero got out of the way, grabbing every civilian in sight and getting them out of the way. However, their manpower wasn't enough, and a group of reporters were caught in the crossfire as the blob humanoid flicked its gelatinous tentacle at them. Fwish~! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Since Plume was the nearest one, she had to dive and defend the reporters. She could at least get there in time to block the attack while another group got them out of the way. In a split second, Plume utilized her wings and she screwdriver-vaulted her way to the reporters, blocking the gooey tentacle before it could smash on one of them. Sfploosh~! The moment it touched Plume's wings, the tentacle passed through it as if it was cutting through butter.

What was supposed to be an indestructible pair of wings, were melted in an instant, and Plume screamed in pain as both her wings were cut off. "Aghk~!" Plume screamed in pain, but she was relieved that the reporters were left unharmed. "Nee-san!" Someone screamed from behind as a wall of ice blocked the blob humanoid's path. "Shiroi?" Elimine turned around, only to find her cousin running to her aid."
