Chapter 205: 205:Phantom Operation VI
Evan sat in his room, surrounded by advanced tech displays and holographic screens that flickered with data. He leaned forward, intently studying the ongoing battle footage of Mac in the Nova Suit, his fist clenched tightly.
Despite trying hard, staying calm felt hard at this moment.
"Aurora, what are the chances of success in this mission?" Evan asked, his voice steady but edged with curiosity.
[Approximately 66%,] Aurora responded, her tone analytical.
[I could devise a foolproof plan, but I will need more data on the superhumans. Many countries keep their data secured, storing it on isolated private servers without internet access, making its retrieval highly challenging.]
Evan nodded, absorbing the implications of the situation.
The superhuman data was heavily protected, often sequestered on isolated networks to prevent any unauthorized access and cyber threats. Such measures ensured that the sensitive information remained confidential and safeguarded from potential breaches, often involving layers of encryption and physical security protocols.
He leaned back in his chair, a smile spreading across his face as excitement bubbled within him. This was the first time he would witness a real-life battle at a superhero level. The thrill of the unknown stirred his anticipation, knowing that significant breakthroughs were just around the corner.
"This is like watching real-life marvel movies.."
"Damn! If only it weren't my people out there, I would have been sipping some coke with a packet of lays."

The Nova suit was like a prior version of the Iron Suit, equipped with armor and thrusters.
As Mac activated the Nova Suit, it began to emit a faint blue glow, accompanied by a soft hum of machinery.
Sleek, armored plates cascaded down from above, locking into place around his body. The suit's material, lightweight yet incredibly durable, fitted him perfectly, providing an impenetrable shell of protection.
As the helmet sealed around his head, the visor lit up, displaying tactical information. The suit felt alive, moving in sync with his movements and amplifying his physical strength.
The thrusters in his boots roared to life with a bright blue glow, poised to propel him into action.
The helmet was sealed tightly around his head, integrating with the body armor in a seamless, protective fit.
Mac's eyes narrowed in focus as he readied himself for the confrontation.
"Everyone, step back," Mac commanded. "Leave this fight to me and provide support from a distance."
With that, Mac took a deep breath and stomped heavily. The thrusters flared, propelling him forward with an explosive force.
BOOM!
The ground beneath his feet cracked thanks to the suit's power.
He shot through the air, cutting through the corridor like a meteor, directly towards the superhuman fighter, who was still using captured squad members as human shields.
Sensing the incoming threat, the superhuman bent forward slightly, bracing himself for the impact. But before he could completely prepare himself, Mac reached to him and delivered a powerful punch filled with a concentrated burst of kinetic energy powered by the Nova Suit's nuclear core.
The man's eyes widened in alarm upon sensing the threat and he immediately unleashed his full strength in retaliation.
BOOOM!
The moment their punches met shockwaves were sent rippling through the air, momentarily disturbing the surrounding debris. Mac's expression remained calm, his focus sharp and unwavering.
The superhuman, on the other hand, showed a flicker of surprise as he staggered back, momentarily thrown off balance.
Mac had anticipated some level of resistance, but the raw power behind the superhuman's punch was formidable.
It had the strength to obliterate through a boulder.
Was this even humanly possible?
Despite this, Mac felt a surge of confidence from the Nova Suit's enhancements, His strength and agility had been significantly amplified, and the suit, equipped with advanced energy shielding and kinetic amplifiers, absorbed the brunt of the superhuman's strikes with minimal disruption.
"Damn! This is some epic-level shit," Mac muttered under his breath as he dove back into the fray with renewed determination, ready to test the limits of his suit and skills.
The corridor became a battlefield of dynamic combat. The superhuman fighter unleashed a whirlwind of martial arts prowess. Clearly, he had been trained well since he executed a series of rapid kicks and punches with precision and purpose.
His moves were a blend of fluidity and raw power, each strike aimed at exploiting weaknesses in Mac's defenses.
Mac countered with a combination of advanced suit-assisted maneuvers and his own martial arts techniques. His punches, now enhanced by the suit's kinetic energy, struck with devastating force, while the suit's thrusters allowed him to deliver powerful strikes and recover from the superhuman's counterattacks in quick succession.
The superhuman launched a series of quick, straight punches aimed at Mac's torso. Each punch was organized to test Mac's defenses and create openings for more powerful strikes.
Mac responded with a series of rapid, calculated parries, using the suit's energy shield to deflect the blows. His armor absorbed most of the force, leaving him unscathed.
The superhuman spun into a high kick, aiming for Mac's head. Mac ducked under and countered with a low, sweeping kick of his own, meant to throw his opponent off balance.
The superhuman barely avoided the sweep, rolling aside and springing back to his feet. He retaliated with a lighting-fast roundhouse kick that slammed into Mac's shoulder, sending him reeling but not down.
Mac activated the suit's advanced thrusters, executing a high-speed maneuver to appear right behind the superhuman, delivering a powerful elbow strike to the back that sent the superhuman stumbling forward.
Spinning around, the superhuman unleashed a powerful uppercut aimed to catch Mac off guard. However, Mac absorbed the blow with his suit's enhanced energy shield and countered with a precise jab to the superhuman's midsection.
The superhuman demonstrated exceptional agility and used acrobatic flips, and rolled to evade Mac's strikes. He used his environment to his advantage, launching off to the walls and pillars to gain momentum for his attacks.
Mac quickly adapted to the superhuman's movements, employing the suit's enhanced agility to keep pace, executing quick directional shifts and aerial maneuvers to counter the superhuman's acrobatics.
The fight only continued to intensify as both combatants engaged in a series of powerful exchanges. The superhuman combined martial arts and brute strength, delivering a devastating knee strike followed by a flurry of rapid punches.
Utilizing the suit's advanced kinetic amplifiers, Mac absorbed and countered each strike with calculated precision. He delivered a powerful energy-charged uppercut, lifting the superhuman off his feet and sending him crashing into a nearby wall.
However, despite the injury enough to kill a human, the man simply got up and shook himself a bit to get rid of dust before shooting himself back at Mac.
Once again Mac was locked in a fierce battle with the superhuman, but as it prolonged, he noticed that the advanced Nova Suit strain under the intensity of the fight.
Meanwhile, with his incredible agility and strength, the superhuman moved sharply while his blows landed with destructive force, pushing the suit to its limits.
Though equipped with advanced sensors and reinforced armor, the suit provided him with enhanced strength and agility, but it was clear that the long fight was taking its toll and had now started showing signs of wear under the intense pressure of the fight.
