My SuperVillain System: Building Legion of SSS-Ranked SuperHeroines
Chapter 42- Volta’s Death

Chapter 42: Chapter 42- Volta’s Death

Volta stood tall on the rooftop of the old building, her figure cloaked in a purple and black latex suit, her cleavage glistening in the moonlight as it fell on her milky white skin.

The spandex was tight enough to reveal her curves, while her purple hair fluttered in the breeze.

The gold of her breeches betrayed the coldness in her eyes as she looked toward the Saint Regalia Hospital.

’Alvian... can a simple dean do that?’ Ytrisia had her doubts, especially since she knew the connections needed to get one’s hands on Villains.

She recalled the information Darithi had provided, telling her that the attack had been instigated by the dean of the hospital.

She would have doubted it if not for the fact that her previous intel had been accurate.

The cold night air heightened her senses, and as she watched the doors of the hospital swing open across the street, preparing to leap directly onto the rooftop, a soft vibration traveled through her fingertips—a subtle reminder that her power had activated.

Her heartbeat pulsed in rhythm with the sensation of kinetic energy surging beneath her skin, waiting.

Then came a noise.

Clank.

A sharp scrape of metal against stone, too heavy to be the wind.

Volta’s head snapped to the side, a sudden flinch widening her eyes as two figures emerged from the shadows, standing opposite her.

They were clad in dark armor, their faces hidden behind battle masks. Volta’s gaze narrowed as she recognized the badges on their chests—Villain Syndicate.

"So, this is the S-rank hero they warned us about," the taller of the two villains muttered, a cruel smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth, hidden beneath the mask.

The other villain, smaller but quicker, brushed a lock of dark hair from his face, his eyes glinting with calculated amusement. "Now we understand why that tech lady sent the message. Highest priority, she said. And here we are, standing in front of the great Volta. It all makes sense now."

Volta’s lips parted in a sigh, the hum of power running through her veins. She didn’t flinch as the villains’ presence pressed against her.

However, their arrival at this moment made it clear that whatever Darithi had said was correct.

These villains, definitely from the Villain Syndicate, had some connection with the dean of the hospital, as their words made it evident that they were here as bodyguards for someone.

"Your mistake," she said, her voice steady, "is thinking you can match me."

The wind surged violently, and the taller villain stepped forward, his form melting into the air itself. "You may be S-rank, Volta," he hissed, "but no one stands against us."

In a blur of motion, he thrust his hands out, sending a wave of twisted metal toward her—shards of jagged metal flying at her.

Volta’s eyes reflected the metal shards as she created a small one-meter radius domain made from her power.

She didn’t dodge; she absorbed.

Every shard that flew toward her halted just a few inches away, as if its kinetic energy had completely vanished, absorbed into her.

The attack only fueled her—and also told her that these villains were A-rank.

The shards, now motionless, fell one after another to the ground.

"You’re going to regret this," Volta sneered. With a motion faster than the eye could follow, she hurled herself, charging with kinetic energy toward the villain preparing another metal storm.

Her body reinforced by kinetic energy, she arrived just a meter away from the villain. She sent his shard’s kinetic energy into his body, the force of it enough to crush his armor and send him careening backward, crashing into the rooftop with a deafening crash. The speed was the same as that with which he had fired the shards earlier.

She had just given him speed he couldn’t control with enhanced kinetic energy.

"Arghh!" His eyes rolled as he fell to the roof, the thick cement railing—already weakened by the impact—crumbled.

A cloud of dust billowed into the night sky.

Far below, glass shattered from the force, raining down onto the street.

"Ahhh! Get back!" someone screamed.

"Mama, the building! It’s breaking!" a child cried.

"Run—RUN! It’s gonna fall!"

The second villain, quicker than his companion, darted toward her.

He let loose a screeching howl, his fists tearing through the air, sending jagged shards of broken metal from the surroundings to wrap around her like chains.

Volta’s eyes flickered. Her body was momentarily shrouded in a veil of pure energy as the chains struck her—only to lose motion and fall uselessly at her feet.

"Pathetic," Volta sneered, leaping forward. But as she did so, she noticed something peculiar: both of them seemed able to use each other’s attacks—maybe some kind of shared ability.

Her energy surged, her every movement now using a force akin to a train collision. Seeing the danger the fight posed to the people on the streets, she threw a devastating punch toward the villain.

His body slammed into the rooftop wall, leaving an imprint of his form.

"ARGHH!—thud!" The crack of bones was drowned out by the shattering glass and the groaning structure around them.

"Please! Someone help!"

"We’re trapped under the debris!"

Volta’s breath hitched for a moment as she looked to the side, to the street far below.

There were two disadvantages she faced. The first was that, while fighting Ryken that night, she had used up most of her kinetic energy reserves, more than necessary to subdue him.

The second was the people around her.

She saw it then: chunks of the rooftop, dislodged from the impact, falling toward the crowd gathering at the base of the building.

No time to think.

She vaulted off the rooftop, a comet of glowing purple energy.

She hit the side of the building mid-fall, redirecting herself, slamming her shoulder into a massive falling slab of concrete.

"GET OUT OF THERE!" she bellowed.

She managed to redirect the debris just enough for it to crash into an abandoned vehicle instead of the civilians below.

A searing pain shot through her side—ribs cracked, shoulder dislocated—due to using most of her absorbed kinetic energy earlier and from the unexpected fall. She had injured herself.

Blood spilled from her lips as she landed hard, rolling to break the impact.

"She saved us..." a man whispered in disbelief.

Volta staggered to her feet, barely upright, pain radiating through her body as she propped herself against a nearby wall.

Above her, she saw the two villains slowly standing, their bodies injured. Yet, both of them grabbed each other’s hands before slowly looking down toward her.

As she, with her fatigued gaze, looked upward at them, they created a huge, dark black spear, its radius increasing with each passing second. Before looking down at Volta, they declared, "You’ll break before we do!"

BOOM!

The single sound of the spear resonated just before the energy ball arrived, an inch away from Volta. Her eyes widened as the metal grazed her cheek, spilling blood. She swiftly charged the kinetic energy she had absorbed while falling, hoping to use it against the spear and counterattack.

But—

"!?!"

Her eyes widened as she felt all her energy vanish, the purple aura scattering as she felt an empty absence.

Her eyes trembled as she realized in that moment, looking toward the villains, that the other one, whose abilities weren’t metallic but involved sharing, freezing, and enhancing others’ abilities, had disabled her power.

SCKHLT!

"Khukh!" Ytrisia’s eyes widened as the spear pierced her chest, tearing through the solar plexus. Her eyes bloodied, she exhaled, looking up.

’I... shouldn’t have let my guard down...’ Before she could finish the thought, her eyes became heavier as her heartbeat stopped.

She died.
