Apocalypse Regression's

Disaster is Inescapable

“HOW CAN YOU KNOW?”

Crocodile looked surprised when he heard Ark's words. However after seeing the change in the young man's body, he became calmer.

“So. You also have such power. Fire mark? Did it come from the ruler you came from?”

“Truly funny.”

Ark said in a flat tone. He looked at Crocodile and his comrades with disappointed gazes. Clearly, they were disappointed with their decision.

“If you knew you were so vulnerable. I should have pulled you to follow at the beginning, Crocodile.”

“DO NOT LOOK AT ME WITH EYES LIKE THAT!”

Sensing a trace of disappointment in Ark's eyes, Crocodile bellowed furiously. He did not mind being beaten and humiliated, but would never accept being pitied.

“I ALSO HAVE A SIGN! I AM STRONG TOO! I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO NEED FOR YOU TO PITY!”

Crocodile tore his clothes off, revealing a body full of wounds. In parts of his body, there are pictures of several black flowers with black tendrils. It's unclear if it's a vine or a root.

“You don't need to show it because I already know it.”

“HAHAHA! I EXPECTED, YOU TOO-“

“No, Crocodile. I know it doesn't mean I have the same origin power. Unlike you who gained strength by becoming a puppet of other creatures, this is my own strength.”

“HOLE!” crocodile shouted with a distorted expression.

“Nothing if you don't believe. For sure, the reason I'm here is to send you guys away.”

After saying that, Ark's figure instantly disappeared from its place. A moment later, several heads were immediately beheaded. Surprised people without even responding.

“Don't just shut up! Attack!”

Hearing Crocodile's cry, Ark did not care at all. He continued to attack one after another the subordinate of the man while saying.

“Free. Shut up and just accept.”

Swooshes! A BANG!

Crocodile's figure followed and then slammed his sword towards the Ark. The young man immediately responded in a manner to fend it off, making the two of them retreat a few meters.

“Surely you thought I would let you just like that, Ark!”

“Then come.”

Ark ran straight towards Crocodile. The man roared furiously then rushed towards him with all his might.

KLANG!

Two swords clashed violently. Before Crocodile regained his confidence, Ark kicked him hard in the stomach. After that the young man went towards Crocodile's subordinate who was watching the fight.

A slash! A slash!

Some of the necks were cut back. Blood splashed onto the handsome face of the young man, but did not make him disgusted or happy. There was not even a change in his expression.

“TIMES ALL BACKWARDS!”

“BOS!!”

Following Crocodile's words, the men gnashed their teeth and turned to run. However, Ark did not let them go at all.

“Because you guys have arrived ..” The young man's eyes narrowed. “Then stay put.”

A slash!

Seeing the sight of his confidants being killed, Crocodile immediately roared crazily.

“I'LL KILL YOU ARK! I MUST HAVE KILLED YOU!”

Crocodile's muscles swelled, his teeth turning into sharp fangs. His eyes turned red and his expression was filled with madness.

Just then, the black flower tattoo on his body began to spread, his roots creeping in all directions wildly.

Crocodile immediately shot towards Ark, appeared in front of the man then slashed down with all his might.

BLAR!!

A loud explosion is created. The Crocodile that had just landed instantly roared towards the Ark was blown away.

Coming out of the rubble and debris, Ark relaxed his neck muscles. The young man looked towards Crocodile who had almost lost his sanity and said.

“Not bad, even good enough.”

After saying that, Ark let out a long sigh.

Looking at Ark who was back on his feet, Crocodile who regarded the young man as prey immediately ran towards him. He slammed the sword with all his might.

Klang's! Klang's! KLANG!

Unlike the previous one, Ark fended off attack after attack launched by Crocodile. Seeing the marks on the man's body getting more and more spread out, he instead retracted some of his strength.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes, half an hour ...

Ark and Crocodile continued to fight fiercely until the terrain around them was destroyed.

By the time Crocodile saw a slight gap in the Ark's movements, he instantly slashed out at an incredible speed. However, his movements suddenly came to a halt in the middle of the road.

The mat! The mat! The mat!

“Still not!”

Blood comes out of the pores of Crocodile, flows down and then pokes into the ground. Ignoring his own injuries, the man fought resolutely and fiercely. Once again attacking, it constantly compensated for the Ark's attacks without retreating in the slightest.

“BLERGH!”

Crocodile's body twitched violently. The man immediately vomited a lot of blood. When he almost fell to his knees, he immediately used his sword to hold his body.

“But! STILL NOT!”

Seeing Crocodile's terrifying appearance, Ark let out a long sigh.

“You are already at your limit. It is impossible to continue this fight. Even with the seeds in your body, reaching level 3 this fast is already very excessive. Moreover, that being you consider a God is unlikely to give you any more power.

He only uses you as a puppet. No more than that.

It's not just you. The creature also gave the cannibals power. Besides, it should also control a great many mutated beasts, right?”

Hearing Ark's words, Crocodile was stunned. Despite losing consciousness, he still asked.

“How do you know? Who the hell are you, Ark?”

“I can't explain everything. To be sure, the creature wanted to control everything beneath it. Slowly but surely, I want to control everything.

The reason why the creature started to rampage should be because his plan was interrupted. In addition, there is also one definite fact ..”

Ark re-screwed his sword. He then walked past Crocodile while patting his shoulder.

“That creature feels threatened.”

Hearing that, Crocodile's eyes widened. Only then did he realize that it turned out that the two of them were on completely different levels. Disappointed at not being able to continue the fight, the man sighed as he said.

“This last fight is really fun, Ark.”

After saying that, Crocodile's eyes became dull. Plus the cessation of breath, the man actually met his end.

Just then, Crocodile's body shrank as if the nutrients in his body were being absorbed. Many black roots shot out from his body then stuck into the ground. A while later, his body completely turned into a tree.

Black tree with brilliant white flowers.

***

About two hours after his fight with Crocodile, Ark managed to chase and kill Crocodile's last subordinate.

Although he is not a good person, Ark has his own limits. Selling his soul to another being for the sake of a power beyond the limits of his tolerance. So he immediately searched and hunted them, people who were considered as traitors of mankind.

Sitting on the roof of the building while staring at the group leaving, Ark pulled out a cigarette and lit it.

“Even if I come, this kind of thing still exists.”

Ark shook his head. Feeling that everything in this city was walking out of his plan. Either the creatures that have gained consciousness, the cannibals, the Chelsea, and the telekinesis users.

Even if the young man tried, disaster still happened.

It feels ... absolutely unavoidable.
