Chapter 3 - III: The Weakest Human

In the year of 1920s—a boy named, Mercurius. He was a polite and responsibility person, he never argue unless necessary—he was forced to join into the mass war that happened around the globe.

Mercurius trained and adapted to his new surrounding's when he entered the hall of the military base—he constantly learning a self-defense techniques from to begin with. He was just an amateur, but in just 10 days, he had become the most strongest, fastest, skillful and the smartest among other 70 soldiers that had trained for years to developed their skills and martial arts they had learned.

Although he was known as the superior human species because of his insane ability to constantly adapting and his incredible genetics—pure from himself based on all his experience fighting and learning. Mercurius also had develop a personality traits deep inside him, he became a god complex and psychopathic person. He was suffering from PTSD and other mental torturement that caused him to be having severe personality traits and mental.

He suffering from psychologically traumatic events, fought over 10+ wars and even stopped a some of wars with only his influence—he grew older until he reached the age of 24 years old. He was just a small little boy, a 5 years old boy that was forced into joining the military and was trained to become a top soldier that are undefeatable and invincible. Mercurius was standing still with his blood covered in blood—other hundreds of bodies laying down on the ground, the skies were heavy and thunderstorms strucked anywhere. Mercurius gazed into the abyss—while his thought travel deep inside him, he thought to himself.

"I've killed them...yet, they have children's for them to take care of."

"Can't I just stop from being a murderer, I don't deserve to take their lives. No..."

"I'm just a nobody, and I am not the servant of God or either the embodiment of justice and fairness."

Mercurius snaps from his far gazed towards the abyss—he continue to walk towards, and continue to fight more and more soldier's.

"One...Two...Three...Four..."

Three hours flew by while he was fighting the opponents.

"One thousand and three hundreds...One thousand four hundreds...One thousand five hundreds..."

In just three hours, he had managed to take down 1,500+ soldiers from the Weimar Republic—the government realized just how insane this one soldier are, so the government choose to retreat from sending more soldier's to fight one man. Many countries fears him—Mercurius, the man that was called as the "Undefeatable Monster" and many other names.

But after years passed by—Mercurius felt bored so he resigned from the military base and choose to start a new life outside the place he grew in, he stepped into the outside world which is the opposite of the battlefield he used to—he take a deep breaths after he have resigned.

Mercurius walk towards the streets—a place full of restaurant and small businesses, while he was walking. A thugs walk up towards him asking him to give them everything he have—Mercurius however politely told them to retreat before he he call the police on them. Yet, the thugs wasn't afraid at all.

Then one of the thugs jump towards him and did a 360° degree spinning kick to send Mercurius far away—However, Mercurius blocked the kick using his left hand with ease. Then two more thugs launch an attacks at him.

They were using. Taekwondo, Karate, Jiu-Jitsu, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Capoeira, Kenpō, Muay Thai. All of those thugs use this martial arts towards him—Yet, Mercurius blocked all the attacks easily.

Donald Scott punch Mercurius directly on the vital spot accurately towards the solar plexus—The attack speed were extremely fast, even than the movement of eyes can perceive. When the hit landed on Mercurius body, it generated a strong hit that create a shockwave.

Donald look at Mercurius to see whether he get the affect of getting hit on celiac plexus which able to temporary discomfort to significant pain and breathing difficulties as well with temporary paralysis of the diaphragm—However, something unexpected happened. It seems like he had just punch a machine with no weakness, no internal organs, no feelings neither emotions.

Although the punch were extremely powerful, it did nothing to Mercurius. All of the thugs stared at him unbelievable—they trying to proceed what had just happened, why or how he felt no pain or does it literally do any damage towards him. Mercurius spoke up to them.

"Is this what you all capable of?"

In just a split second, even faster than sound travel—Mercurius was already behind Donald, with a quick yet powerful punch. Mercurius adapt to the skill and copy it, with a single blow. He send Donald flying away 21 meter away as the blow generates three shockwave. The punch landed precisely at his celiac plexus, yet it completely crushed his epigastric region precisely the upper central part of the abdomen which located just below the sternum—Donald was blew away which makes it seems like he was blow away at supersonic speed.

Donald hit the building behind him loudly until the wall was massively cracked—Mercurius look towards the other thugs, his cunning and charmful eyes seems harmless. Yet, it seems like it was a devil that have no mercy even to anyone doesn't matter if the person is elderly person or even youth.

The remaining thugs stared at his devilish eyes—they felt an unease feeling inside them, their instincts seems to tell them to run and do not find any more trouble with him or they would faced horrible consequences.

As he took one step forward, every single one of them quickly run away for the scene, running for their lives. Mercurius stare at them all with calm face and neutral emotions, as blank as the emptiness in someone heart to those who were emotionless and expressionless.

Mercurius walk away from the scene, continuing to find a suitable place for him to live in—many years later, Mercurius were drinking a cup of a coffee while sitting at his chair calmly. He stare at the shiningful skies above him, he glaced towards the picture of him and the women he had married with. He feel something warmth inside his chest, as if he was happy yet sad because he have grew older and all the memories were just a worst memories from his past which he experience.

Suddenly his wife stepped outside and sit together with him, both of them smiles warmly—Mercurius suddenly have something to ask Marie, so he speak up to her.

"Hey, my honey? Do you actually fear of dying..."

Marie calmly replies to her husband.

"Yes...yes I do, darling. But as long as I'm with you, I do not fear of death like how I used to be before I even met you."

57 years later, Marie had passed away leaving only Mercurius remain alive. Every second he thinks of her, yet he also think about his children's—his elder son had become a famous politician who also knows for his influence over some nations and, his second child had become a famous athlete who were know for insane physique and skills—lastly his third child had become a genius scientist who is neurologist, mathematician, PhD level professor which teach at Teiktyou University which was known for its great educational system and the historical stuff about the university.

Mercurius realized that in any minutes his going to die soon, so he use the time to lay down on his bed while facing above the ceiling—he closed both of his eyes as his heart begin to slowly getting slower and weaker. Precisely in this judgemental, Mercurius had passed away from old age at the age of 81 years old, at the date of 11th May 1996, exactly at the time of 20:17 p.m.

His body was later put inside of a coffin and buried under the ground next to his wife graveyard, lots of people say two of them is the definition of pure love—a boundless form of love that are written to met although the path of origin is different. But the ending would be wholesome just like how they both story are.
