Chapter 27 Then it can only be so

This is a story about a teenager that happened a long time ago.

That year, the young man was fourteen years old. He wore black mourning clothes and dug a pit in the back mountain of his hometown. He placed his parents' remains inside and let their tombs be with his sister's small tomb. The young man prayed to the gods, and he prayed to God to reunite the three of them underground.

The boy was sad about his parents' departure, but he was also glad that they were disabled with their legs and finally left this world full of malicious intentions. However, the boy was alone at this point, and there was no warmth in the world to nostalgia.

This is the second year after the full-scale war between the Superpowers and the World Government. After the radical Superpowers launched suicide destruction raids on major cities, many prosperous cities in the Siberian world were destroyed. Twenty-two capitals of the thirty-seven franchises of the World Government were destroyed, and more than 250 million people were killed in the "Three Days of Darkness" at the beginning of the war. Several times this number died from the subsequent chaos and small-scale attacks. The two-year total war followed, which caused the total population of the entire Siberian world by one third.

The radical superpowers believe that they are new humans representing the future, and mortals without superpowers are old species that should be eliminated. These old species dare to plan to deprive their superpowers. This is undoubtedly a great revenge for immortality. These crazy superpowers use their abilities without psychological burdens and destroy everything they can see. They will not let anyone go, including the elderly, weak, women and children, or even specifically target the elderly, weak, women and children.

In fact, once the superpowers with small targets but extremely powerful put down their moral bottom line and start to carry out indiscriminate attacks, there is almost no thing in this world that can stop them. On the front battlefield, ordinary human troops may have the power to fight, but no matter how the security wars in cities are fought, the world government will suffer more serious damage. Because it is difficult to prevent destructive attacks, super cities with a population of over 10 million in the past basically no longer exist. The world government divides their big cities one by one and then builds them into fortresses that watch over each other, but even so, it is hard to defend against.

If it weren't for some superpowers subordinate to the world government that could control and prevent attacks by radicals, the world's order had long collapsed. Unlike now, the world government still controls most of the world and often sends mechanized troops to eliminate superpowers gatherings located around the world. The reason why these superpowers are willing to stand in the same camp with most ordinary people who are hostile or even hate superpowers is because everything they cherish is destroyed by the attacks of those radicals.

People call these supermen who hunt supermen for revenge the "hunters", and the young man is one of them.

Although he is one of the youngest hunters, the boy has already experienced many battles. At the beginning, he was confused by killing people, and even fearing the blood in his hands. But after thinking that it was the radical superpowers who destroyed his home and killed his family, the boy never felt lenient. He became cold-blooded and cruel, and would never forgive anyone.

The boy and several hunters formed a team to act together. They chased the lurking superpowers in the city and fought with members of the radical superpower club in the wilderness. With their own abilities, the boy wandered between life and death again and again, defeating powerful enemies. It is precisely because of this that he also realized the essence of his ability while displaying his abilities again and again.

That is 'stagnation'.

It is not the "self-acceleration" that the boy himself imagined before. In contrast, his ability is essentially everything within a large range of stagnation with himself as the center. In this stagnation space, only he can move. In most cases, the boy can almost be said to be invincible in the duration of his ability, because no matter how fast he attacks, he will definitely slow down to the point where he can dodge.

It sounds incredible, but for the Siberians, this is not something to be amazed... because superpowers do not need to follow any rules, which is the conclusion obtained by the Siberian World Government after years of research.

The superpowers of superpowers are all kinds of strange. Some are fairly ordinary and can be explained by science, while some completely violate common sense and even ignore various laws. Even superpowers awakening is the case so far. Neither radical superpowers nor the world government have found any law of awakening. People who awaken superpowers may have been begging beggars on the streets a day ago, and the descendants of the two superpowers may not be able to awaken superpowers for life.

There is no doubt that there must be some internal law in it, but because the Siberian Central Research Institute, which has the deepest research on this aspect, was destroyed by several powerful superpowers at the beginning of the war, this law has not been discovered so far.

Because the boy's subconscious vigilance and deliberate hiding, almost everyone felt that his superpowers were instantaneous movement, and there seemed to be no difference in external performance. In actual combat, stagnation may not cause large-scale damage, but it is too convenient to target the fragile superpowers of the body. In the hunting of the past two years, the boy killed more than 80 radical superpowers with his own ability, almost the entire team of other teams. Among these superpowers, there are many powerful enough to defeat the army alone, but in the unprepared stagnant space, their ending is to land the heads and become the boy's merits.

In this way, time spent another two years in dispute, and the world's population continued to decline, but the situation gradually stabilized.

If the war continues like this, then the radical superpowers will inevitably usher in defeat. Although they have digital destructive power that is comparable to the strongest superpowers of the fusion bomb, there are also hunters that can match the world government. Without population support, they are rootless duckweed. Years of comprehensive war not only reduced the world's population by one third, but also reduced the number of radical superpowers. To this day, except for the largest dozen superpowers, most of the superpower groups have been wiped out.

On the other hand, with the huge population base, the world government has a continuous source of superpowers, one rises and the other goes down, and the war seems to have not lasted long... Among the fortresses, the TV station has begun a countdown for a full counterattack, and exciting speeches are played on every radio. The chaotic superpower era is about to end. Everyone believes that the dark days are about to pass and a new order is about to be established.

The boy was also one of them. At this time, he was seventeen years old, and had several hunter comrades who could rely on each other. Because of friendship and bonds, the cold heart regained the warmth. He was already a young man and couldn't help but start looking forward to what life he should live after the war? Should he find a cute girl to marry? If he wants to get married, who will be invited to the banquet at the wedding? How many children should he have to have after the marriage? What should the children do in the future?

This is the case with the Siberians. They like order, they like life that can be predicted and controlled. The youth is no exception. He has even begun to prepare for parenting and bought several pre-war baby books in the fritters market. He even began to plan the decoration of his new home, waiting for the arrival of his future hostess... Even the kind laughter of his comrades could not stop him from imagining all this, and that might be a taste of happiness.

If everything was really as beautiful as imagined.

On a cold and humid autumn afternoon, it seemed like a drizzle that could penetrate into the bone marrow fell. Under this gloomy sky, the last few large superpower clubs were eliminated by the Siberian World Government Army and the Hunter. There was no large-scale radical superpower group in this world, only illegal abilities scattered around the world.

A young man who has been fighting hard for many years, it should be said that he is a man now. The adult man gasped in exhaustion on the last battlefield full of gunpowder. He used his abilities to help his team escape danger and protect his comrades who had worked together for many years. He set a stagnation space for more than twenty consecutive times in a day. The man felt that his ability was completely overloaded, but he did not feel hard at all, because this was the last battle. After this battle, the world would return to order, the night of war was about to pass, and the dawn of peace was near before his eyes.

At this time, the man was already one of the top leaders of the hunter and had the strongest teams of hunters. This time, in order to deal with the only remaining and the strongest group of crazy superpowers, the hunters almost came out in full swing, but even so, this battle was extremely difficult.

There is no weak person who can survive the war. Each of them has the power to fight against an entire army alone. They can call for wind, rain, thunder, create tornado earthquakes, some can absorb all physical shocks, some can control the energy of entities, and even a large number of spiritual controllers who can control the hearts of people. If it were not for the full support of the world government, the power of the hunter alone would never have defeated the other side. Both sides suffered extremely heavy casualties and almost died together. Several government legions completely lost their numbers.

But in the end, the hunter won. The most powerful people in the radicals, the superpowers with fusion bomb-level destructive power, were sneak attacked and killed by a man, while the others were now being besieged by the Siberians' aircraft and other powerful people from the hunter outside the atmosphere. The man looked up at the cloudy sky. He looked at the light balls that were flashing behind the clouds and couldn't help laughing.

The war is about to come to an end, and he even began to think about how he should hold a peace banquet tomorrow. The faces of men and comrades are filled with happiness, which is a smile that only those who have tomorrow and hope will show.

But the next moment, the happy smile froze.

Because the original allies, subordinate to the Siberian World Government's army, suddenly turned against the hunters.

The ruthless bullets shot from behind the unprepared back. In an instant, one-third of the remaining hunters died on the spot. The remaining hunters were furious. They looked at the indifferent Siberian World Government Army and cursed loudly at the inexplicable side. These battle-hardened superpowers immediately began to prepare for a counterattack, but before they could release their superpowers, a steel facility that looked like a signal tower was erected from the army's array, spreading invisible fields, and almost all hunters lost their superpowers.

After many years, when all the superpowers almost forget this, the overpowering interferement field was successfully developed among countless specious rumors over the years, and their first goal was actually his former comrades-in-arms.

"This world does not require superpowers."

The man could hear the ruthless voice, he could see his comrades falling one by one, bullets penetrated their brains, and the bomb shrapnel tore their bones and internal organs. The man looked around in a daze, everything was stagnant, and the superpowered interfering field was blocked by the stagnant space before he could touch him, which made him survive the raid without any defense, but also allowed him to witness his comrades 'gradual' death in front of him.

At this moment, the man felt that he had returned to the day when he was twelve years old. He once again witnessed the destruction of the things he cherished, and he could only sit back and watch everything happen. The difference is that the last time he took action was a superman, which brought bitterness called "powerlessness", and this time, an ordinary person brought about the evil consequences called "betrayal".

Is this betrayal abrupt? In fact, it is not. At this moment, the man recalled the various signs of the hunter's budget cuts, the propaganda and hype in public opinion. All the mistakes were placed on the "superpower" instead of the simple radical... When everyone was immersed in anesthetic called victory, the world government had already prepared the butcher knife.

The man left the battlefield in a daze, and no one noticed his departure. After completing the mission, the world government troops dealt with all the bodies of the superpowers, they hurried back to their respective garrisons. They still had many tasks to do. Annihilation of the remnants of the hunters was just one of them. They also had to rush back to the fortress and capture all the superpowers living in the city.

The man who could not understand all this was extremely tired. As he was speeding all the way and lurking back to the fortress of his past life, a riot was happening in the fortress. Countless ordinary people were crazy about the homes of the superpowers living in the city, and then dragged out these superpowers with little combat ability to kill... The powerful superpowers were either radicals or hunters, and the remaining little bits were basically served in the world government. They had been beaten up in one go, and the rest were all weak superpowers with almost no effect.

These weak superpowers were powerless to resist. They didn't even know why the kind neighbors in the past suddenly attacked them. Some of the superpowers even called on everyone to stop. There was definitely any misunderstanding in this. Their heads were cut off without exception. As an embellishment of this carnival riot, this scene happened in every part of the world, whether in the top government or in the slums, without exception.

As for why... it's very simple, because the superpower can receive subsidies far better than the civilians, because the superpower does not regard himself and ordinary people as similar, because the superpower always looks proud, as if he is different from others.

The most important thing is that the superpowers have superpowers, but they don’t.

The man who sneaked back to the street he lived could see that the warm hut that had just been renovated for a few days had already ignited a scorching flame. On the nearby streets, corpses without heads had shrunk by the high temperature.

Whose body is that?

Who knows.

Seeing the raging fire that was almost the same as the day when his sister died eight years ago and his parents lost their legs, the man was silent and then laughed. He didn't know why he was laughing, but he laughed happily.

On this day, 90% of the superpowers in the world died, both radicals and hunters were completely destroyed, and superpowers almost disappeared from the Siberian world. The lucky surviving superpowers were in panic all day long. They could not see the future, could not see hope, and even began to doubt the meaning of their existence. The patrol team hunting the remaining superpowers searched every corner of the world.

But the world left behind has not become better as the world government expected, and in fact, it has become worse.

Because with the death of a large number of superpowers, the world has undergone various "mutations".

It is rumored that superpowers can devour each other's superpower essence to improve themselves.

But except for the most powerful superpowers, no one knows what the superpower is. Even those superpowers say that the entire world is full of countless superpowers, which no one can see, let alone swallow.

But there is no doubt that this essence exists and is closely related to the awakening and birth of the superpower... The deaths of countless superpowers seem to set off a frenzy in the entire Siberian world, and an invisible frenzy surged by. Those crazy ordinary people in the past were horrified to discover that they seemed to have superpowers, and they seemed to have become a member of the prey, and the birth speed of this superpower was ten times that of the past.

This is something the world government never expected.

The birth of the superpower was originally unpredictable, but at the beginning, the superpower was not born fast, so it had the possibility of completely eliminating and suppressing its birth with the superpower interference field. The world government believes that the entire world will return to its original appearance under the influence of the superpower position. However, the position cannot be opened for 24 hours. As a powerful superpower and hero who can match the radicals, the hunter will definitely become a new privileged class after the war, allowing the superpower to get along with ordinary people equally? Even the superpowers themselves do not believe it.

Therefore, the world government, which stands on the side of ordinary people, will never sit idly by and watch the power of the superpower grow. The new order must be sacrificed with the blood of the superpower.

But now, when the contradiction between ordinary people and superpowers has intensified in full swing and there is no room for easing and coexistence, the world government is terrified to find that their rule begins to fall apart... Because of the greatly accelerated superpower spread, no one knows whether they will become superpowers in the next moment and whether they will become prey. The superpowers that originally cheered everyone has become the source of self-destruction of the world government, because the superpowers who awaken naturally tend to be order, but now, they are forced to become completely anti-social elements.

Try to think about it, if you suddenly have superpowers and have the power that can control the lives of ordinary people at will, the law cannot restrict you, but ordinary people who do not have superpowers are hostile and even hate you. They want to deprive you of superpowers at all times, and what will you do if you want to kill you and other superpowers?

Perhaps some people will be slaughtered, but there will always be people who want to resist, even if they wanted to kill all the superpowers before, it was the case that the shift of human positions was as fast as light.

So...order collapsed.

Anyone can kill anyone, can you stop anyone? When the number of superpowers increases with an incredible number, the world is trapped in a cycle of faster and faster collapse... There are more and more types of superpowers, and their abilities are becoming more and more powerful and strange. In order to protect themselves and not be taken first by others, everyone goes crazy and fights each other, destroying everything they can see. The world collapses so badly, the ecological cycle completely collapses, the earth turns into scorched earth, and the sky is pitch black. Under this real doomsday, humans are still fighting each other.

A man witnessed all this, he witnessed the collapse of civilization and turned into chaos, and he finally understood that what can destroy order and happiness is never a superpower, but a human heart.

Since that's the case... Since people's hearts are like this, the world is like this. Since that's the case, since order is like this.

Then that's all.

The enlightened man finally made up his mind here. Since this world is so incredible, let him completely transform this crazy world. Since the human heart is so dark and selfish, let him be the most selfish one. Since the order is so fragile, let him create the most perfect and solid order.

Even if it takes ten, twenty, thirty, or even a lifetime, he will definitely do it.

So, time flies by, and the moment when the metal throne is formed at the center of the world

The cold and solid order as iron is born in the hands of the strong.

The ripples of the steel force spread and information begins to interact.

Joshua, who should have been back in time, stared at all this, staring at this dreamy past, the warrior remained silent, he watched the man create a new order with his own strength, he watched the man create a metal human form as his slave, he watched the man treat everything indifferently and forge his soul into a tool.

Joshua stared at the destruction and rebirth of the old Siberian world.

He turned his head and looked at the man behind him who was watching it all with him.

"The 320th observation failed...it was this kind of ending again."

The man murmured like this, he turned his head slightly and looked at Joshua. His eyes were indifferent, but not high above. The man just looked at him without any emotion, and then whispered: "Arrival."
