Hyperic
Strongest Cyborg

"Heh I think hockey's on our side"

Lauriel is silent for a moment as well as Hiki, while Max again has to rest, he is escorted by Alvin and Lucia to Hiki's acquaintance who lives in Mesopotamia

"Can you know Ruby's exact location?"

Tanya Hiki yang bertanya dengan nada seperti biasanya.

"Hiki...kamu kadang bertanya hal yang mustahil,Cyber ini jauh lebih pintar dibanding aku"

Semua orang terdiam,Vera kemudian melihat sekeliling kota Mesopotamia,kota Mesopotamia menjulang tinggi,dan kota itu dibagi 5 tingkatan sesuai kasta mereka masing-masing,dan kali ini,Vera,Hiki,dan Lauriel berada di kota paling bawah, sementara Alvin,Max,dan Lucia mereka berada di kota menengah atas karena mendapat izin dari kenalan Hiki

"Kenapa kota ini seperti... Piramida? Tidak ini seperti kota yang ditumpuk-tumpuk"

Tanya Vera yang keheranan,dia masih belum memahami sistem kota Mesopotamia,berbeda dengan Hiki yang telah menjelajahi hampir seluruh kota di dunia

"Semakin tinggi tempat kita berpijak, semakin tinggi juga harga diri kita"

"Maksudmu Hiki?"

"Mesopotamia menggunakan sistem kasta,semakin rendah kasta dirimu,semakin rendah pula harga diri kalian,kasta disini dibagi menjadi 5 sesuai dengan kota yang ada"

"Tapi hebat sekali... siapa yang membangun kota hingga menjulang setinggi itu?"

"Teknologi,aku juga tidak tahu siapa yang mempunyai ide itu"

Ketika mereka berdua sedang berbicara, tiba-tiba sebuah kereta berhenti tidak jauh dari mereka berdiri

"Buat naik keatas harus pake kereta itu?"

Tanya Lauriel yang menatap kereta yang berjalan diatas rel hologram

"Benar"

Ketika sedang berbicara,Ruby tiba-tiba kembali menghubungi Hiki

"Hiki maaf,aku tidak bisa menelusuri Cyber itu lebih lanjut,dia sangat pintar...aku tidak bisa membantu mu lebih dari ini"

Hiki tidak membalas perkataan Ruby,sementara Vera yang menatap kereta itu perhatiannya tertarik kepada seseorang pria di dalam kereta yang menggunakan pakaian serba hitam,pria itu nampak orang dari kasta atas,namun kenapa dia harus turun hingga ke kasta terendah? Apa yang dia lakukan? Itu yang ada dibenak Vera

"Kenapa Vera? Ngelamun aja,kamu liat cewek seksi ya?"

Tanya Lauriel dengan sedikit nada mengejek,dia berjalan ke hadapan Vera dengan ekspresi wajah yang mengejek

"Ah no. I'm just amazed by this city"

"Ooo that"

Lauriel went out of Vera's sight, and when Lauriel left, the man in black clothes disappeared without a trace, and the chariot was still there

"Eh?!"

"What's Vera doing?"

Hiki asked who glanced at Vera with a sharp look

"T-no...no, oh Hiki what should we do next?"

While talking, suddenly a large man with very strong muscles jumped from the 2nd caste, he was about to step on Hiki who was standing upright, and he was about to step on his head,although there was no sound but Hiki's instincts realized it, Hiki immediately dodged and was lucky he was not stepped on, the road made of asphalt even destroyed when the man landed, and the man was,it was only natural that the man had jumped from the 2nd caste at such a high speed

"?!!"

Vera immediately took a fighting position as well as Lauriel, Lauriel immediately entered her fighting mode while Vera directly took a gun on her waist, Vera fired a bullet right into the man's neck, but to her surprise,the bullet bounced and turned to Vera at twice the speed, resulting in Vera being shot in the right thigh

"?!!"

Vera's power still can't be activated, it has a long enough cooldown, so from that, Vera can't predict that, Lauriel who saw blood flowing from Vera's thigh directly attacked the man with her iron right hand, but the attack was withheld and Lauriel was instead thrown by the man into the upper city where the lower middle caste people lived

"So you're Hiki, I'm Giano, I'm here to find someone and kill you"

For some reason, but surely this man is a man who considers the existence of Hiki in this city as a threat to him,Hiki stood on one leg while the other leg tiptoed and only retraced using her fingers

"Why did you attack me?"

Hiki asked in a cold tone as usual, the man looked at Hiki as fearlessly

"Why do you need to know the reason that you're going to die in my hands?"

"Who told you to? Ah no need, I already know, must have told you is"

Hiki looked at the man with a cold look

Hearing that, Giano's face immediately let out a vein, his anger immediately peaked when Hiki insinuated the person who told him to, Giano immediately launched a punch with his right hand, even the palm of Giano's hand was enough to hold Hiki's head,tall as Giano and Hiki are like rats and Shepherd dogs, Hiki dodges the attack, he jumps up and pops a black hole and takes a dagger from the hole, he throws the dagger at Giano, he throws it,Hiki was surprised when the dagger turned towards him at twice the speed, lucky Hiki managed to avoid the dagger and only got a scratch on the cheek

"When you have seen your friend hurt because of me, but you have not learned from it"

Hiki landed on the fence and looked at Giano

"You, Cyborg huh?"

Ask Giano

"If so, why?!"

Giano replied in a still emotional tone, Giano picked up an iron that was around there, then threw it at Hiki

"You want to play throws huh?"

Hiki throws the black hole and the iron enters it, then the black hole is suddenly behind Giano's body, but Giano catches the iron and throws it at Hiki,Hiki was again surprised by that, how did he know that the iron was behind him? Hiki asked him, Hiki again dodged and jumped down over the fence, then he landed perfectly on the roof of the house and ran away leaving Vera who was still kneeling, while Lauriel, who was still on her knees,he bounced far through the thick inter-city glass barrier but was unharmed for having put up the barrier before colliding with the glass,as he was about to bounce further he threw an anchor into one of the buildings and pulled himself into it, then he landed safely

"Crazy!!! What the hell is power!!!? It's not normal.Where am I now?"

Lauriel contacted Hiki who was cursing and was thinking about her current situation, how to defeat the giant man

"Hiki you're okay?!"

"I'm fine, but Vera.he's still there"

"Veras.."

"I am still astonished by the man's strength, is it possible that he is a user of Hyperia?? But if he is, I can feel it. He is just an ordinary cyborg, but a possibility"

Suddenly Ruby interrupts the conversation, she connects her connections to Hiki and Lauriel

"There's another party helping him fight"

Ruby Saying

"other side?"

"Yes, I can detect the man's radio signal with someone, but the distance is very far from you, I could have dueled him through VR Gear...but I don't know how powerful that guy is, so I'm not sure I'm going to challenge him"

"But don't you have to hack the person's computer first? Didn't you say that cyborgs are much smarter than you?"

"Right, but this is someone else's Hiki"

Hiki closed her eyes and thought, while Vera she injected dope to relieve the pain that was on her leg, she then stood up and looked at the person who was still standing facing Vera from a distance,then the man walked towards Vera, Vera prepared with her gun

"Have you never learned from your mistakes?"

Giano said to Vera with a slight laugh, Vera then smiled and threw away the gun

"Then how do I beat you? Do I have to fight boxing? That's not possible, is it?"

"You won't be able to defeat me, I won't hurt me, but instead you have to tell me something"

"What's that?"

"You're Hikita's friend, right? Where's the man who became the guinea pig of Alfheim city"

"Rabbit... experiment? Whatchu mean?"

"Alfheim did an experiment injecting a hyperia virus into someone, didn't he?, I heard that person survived and he was taken away by Hiki, where was that person?"

"Why are you looking for him?"

"That person could be the next Strongest candidate to hold that title.The person who holds that title now is Richard of The Greatest criminal group, I don't know who Hikita is, you know,but the errand boy - I mean I felt great power from him, then from that -"

Giano slipped, he accidentally convinced Vera and the others that he was not working alone, Vera cut off Giano's conversation by revealing himself as the person in question

"I'm that guy"

Giano was silent for a moment, then his face suddenly filled with urate and immediately attacked Vera, but Vera could see the attack 3 seconds before Giano did, although Giano's attack was very fast, but Vera could avoid it,Giano was surprised when Vera dodged his attack and instead hit the asphalt to the point of cracking

"Huh?!"

Vera stomps on Giano's foot as a jumping footing, then he kicks Giano's face hard, but to Giano, it's an attack that isn't even felt by him, Vera landed and took some distance from Giano while staring at him, while Giano was still speechless in surprise

"Great.I thought that person was the next Strongest candidate!! I must kill him now before I'm too late, after I kill you then I will kill Richard and his subordinates, prepare to DIE!"
