This is a story that happened a long, long time ago, about a little boy.

The boy was nine years old, had a father who worked as a technical director for a large company, a mother who wrote full-time at home, and a sister who was four years younger than him.

The father is generous but busy, the mother is strict at home, the five-year-old sister is usually well-behaved and sensible, but occasionally adds some chaos to the family, the boy's life is not perfect, nor is it miserable, just ordinary, normal family, normal happiness.

But there is one thing that always bothers boys, and that is what parents and teachers, and even classmates and playmates expect from them.

INTERVIEWER What do you want to do in the future? What are you interested in? My child is so smart that he can definitely go to a good college, and my students are not bad, and they should really work towards that.

Such is the habit of the Sibeyas, who like order, who like a life that is predictable and controllable. From social engineering, to nation-building, to child training, planning for the future, no matter what it is, they always like to make a lot of preparations in advance, and through various techniques and arrangements, everything will go according to their ideas.

The Siboyas could make everything run their way, even the world – this was the boast of the central government in the news at the time, when the Siboyas had developed facilities that could control the weather and suppress earthquakes, and they boasted that the whole of nature was already in human hands.

So so should the people of Sibeja.

You should do this, you should do that, you should be like that, you should be like that—the young boy learns math and practices musical instruments, he thinks about exercises, he delves into physics, he spends time with books in cram school, he takes notes in school, he travels from place to place every day, learning one knowledge after another according to his parents' requests, trying to become the person they want him to be.

As for his own thoughts, the boy didn't have them for the time being, and he didn't care, because he didn't mind living according to someone else's plan. At home, they have to obey their parents, at school, they have to obey their teachers, and if they enter the society, they have to obey their superiors and superiors, and the vast majority of Siboya people live according to the ideas of others, which is the norm in society.

The boy did not have any dissatisfaction with this, he carefully followed the advice of his elders, completed the things they expected, and life went on in an ordinary way, if nothing else, the boy should become a high-level technician like his father in the future, and become a part of the upper class of society.

However, this peaceful life did not last long.

On a calm summer night, a sudden and magnificent meteor shower fell from the sky that obscured the entire night sky and even the entire Siboya World sky, and its appearance was completely unexpected by the Central Observatory, and there was no warning at all before it.

In the exclamation of joy from the pedestrians on the side of the road, streamers crossed the sky, these colorful, almost none of the meteorites with the exact same color seemed to appear out of thin air, and then disappeared out of thin air, obviously everyone saw these meteors falling from the sky, but no one found even the slightest fragment of meteorite.

That year, the boy was ten years old, and it was his tenth birthday, and while looking up at the night sky with his parents on the balcony of his home, he saw a meteor with a deep blue light falling from the sky and falling into the center of his brow.

The next day, the world was changed.

Because, in the past, the 'superpowers' that only existed in legends and movies have truly appeared in this world without miracles.

The so-called superpower is a person who has more abilities than ordinary humans can hold. The first person to be found was a drunken middle-aged man, presumably for socializing, and he had drunk too much alcohol and lit a fire in his sleep, and the flames erupted from his mouth and nose as he snored, burning the entire bar and even half of the surrounding block, killing hundreds of people - which immediately caused great social panic and made the central government quickly raise its vigilance against the existence of superpowers.

The whole world has shown great yearning and fear for this unknown power that can easily kill others, they want to get it for themselves, but they don't want others to get it, in order to sentence this middle-aged man to death or not, the lawyers of the two sides started a long tug-of-war in the Grand Court of Sibeya, which caused great social discussion.

But soon, no one paid attention to the man anymore...... Because after that, all sorts of other superpowers began to appear in front of the stage.

Some of them have physical abilities beyond ordinary people, some can control the flow of water, some of them can incarnate thunder and lightning, and some can fly invisibly...... Telekinesis, Frost, Psychic Peeping, Memory Manipulation, Gravitational Repulsion, Transformation and Transfiguration...... The people who hold these superpowers come from all corners of society, including high-ranking officials of the central government and homeless people nested on street corners, and these superpowers have quickly disrupted the social order since they appeared.

Some of them rely on their ability to do evil, and some rely on their ability to do good, for various reasons, the superpowers soon began to fight with each other, they fought in the streets, fought in the square, the government was helpless against them, the police and the army may still have a bit of deterrent power for those who are weaker than the superpowers, but for those who are powerful, they have no way, they are not afraid of normal weapons of war, whether it is missiles or lasers are useless, Even long-range snipers can be spotted by some kind of peculiar sixth sense, and the most powerful ones will not necessarily die even if they are attacked by fission shells.

The emergence of superpowers and the contradictions between them quickly affected the stability of the entire society, even if the government has begun to co-opt some ordinary superpowers on a large scale, because there is still a steady stream of superpowers awakening, and there is no law, including criminals, psychopaths and sociopaths, their existence has made the entire central government anxious, and the Siboyas without superpowers have collectively fallen into panic, and they feel that their peaceful life can no longer be controlled, His own life was also in the hands of some supernatural who didn't know if he was a madman.

But the boy was much more leisurely because of it. The cram schools on the streets have almost all closed, and even many schools have lost their normal teaching functions, and countless students can only stay at home, waiting for the day when classes will reopen, but this day is far away, because the relationship between superpowers and ordinary people is gradually intensifying.

As long as the individual has wisdom, has character, and has different positions and thoughts...... As long as there are 'different' existences between individuals, then there will inevitably be contradictions between individuals.

And the huge gap in strength brought about by superpowers will magnify the contradiction hundreds or thousands of times.

Before there was a verbal altercation between two people before they had superpowers, as long as it wasn't too intense, no one would choose to do it, because they could both get hurt and both could be punished.

But if one of them has superpowers, he only needs to move his fingers and glance at them from a distance a few streets, or send his abilities into the other party's body through the crowd, and choose the right time to explode, he can easily kill the unpleasant guy in front of him, and no one can find evidence. Superpowers are too convenient and powerful, before their abilities, ordinary people are probably not much stronger than ants, this is still an ordinary energy system, if you are a superpower of the spirit department, maybe with a look, your ego personality will completely collapse and become a puppet licking each other's shoes.

If there is a real contradiction between the two sides, will those who have the ability not do it? Perhaps, there are always people who want to believe in the qualities of others and put their lives on the morality and self-control of others.

All in all, today's world only maintains a fragile balance, and the relationship between the superpowered and the ordinary people is tense, but the relationship between the superpowers is also extremely contradictory and cannot be united.

And the last straw that overwhelmed this fragile balance was a few simple news.

Through battles again and again, those with the most powerful superpowers found that their abilities could be improved by killing other superpowers and absorbing the source of each other's abilities - and at the same time, through clues that they didn't know who said, they also discovered that the central government was secretly conducting research on the 'anti-superpower interference field', trying to wipe out all the superpowers.

Thus, the war between the super-powerful and the super-powerful, between the super-powerful and the ordinary people, began abruptly and unnaturally.

That year, the boy was twelve years old. On the day of the war, he was at home with his parents, celebrating his sister's eighth birthday on the second floor of the house, and while cutting a cake and lighting a candle for his sister, the boy inadvertently turned his head to look out the window, and then he saw a flash of red light, and the hot rays swept through his home from left to back, smashing all the walls on the first floor.

At the moment when it was too late to exclaim, the boy's home, along with the houses of the entire surrounding street, were completely destroyed and began to collapse rapidly, but at this extremely dangerous moment, the boy found that his body curled up because of sudden fear had been re-unfolded at this time, and he felt an inexplicable force spreading in his body, making his speed many times faster, and he actually directly avoided all the dangers, making everything around him seem to be in slow motion.

At this time, the boy's eyes were flashing with a magnificent blue light, and this energy overflowing light was the most obvious characteristic of the 'superpowers'!

At this moment, time seemed to stand still for the boy, and after realizing that his home was being attacked by superpowers, he immediately turned nervously and looked in the direction of his parents and sister - at this time, the boy's parents were crushing their legs from the collapsed ceiling of the building, their expressions were frightened, as if they were exclaiming, their eyes were full of confusion and fear, and his sister had been buried by broken rock bricks, leaving only a small hand bare......

From the beginning of the cold, to gradually some hope, although I don't know why, and I don't understand what his ability represents for the time being, but the trembling boy knows at this time that now he may have the ability to help his relatives, at this time he just wants to save his relatives as much as possible, thinking of this, the extremely nervous boy immediately ran to his sister who was closest to him, and ran to the layers of bricks and tiles.

The boy wanted to get rid of the debris and get his sister out of it, but it wasn't until he managed to carry away a large piece of rubble with all his might, that the boy understood.

He couldn't save anyone.

Even if he had awakened his superpowers, he was just a twelve-year-old boy, a teenager, and his instincts told him that he was in this state for less than five seconds at most, and in five seconds, he couldn't move the gravel off his sister's body, and he couldn't drag his parents away from the weight of the ceiling...... He can't get anything back.

The rock pressed down at an extremely slow speed, his sister's hand twitched at an extremely slow speed, and the boy turned his head blankly to look at his parents, who could see the slow change in their eyes, even if his time was sped up, from the gradual shift from helplessness to fear and panic...... Despair.

The dazed fear when he was attacked, the uncertainty when he awakened his abilities, the horror when he thought of his parents and sisters when they were killed, the joy of feeling that he could save them, and the powerlessness that was waiting little by little for the last moment to come—it was meaningless if time was extended, he could not undo anything but allow himself to be tormented by more permanent pain—the boy roared, he would never admit such a fact!

Five...... Four...... Three...... Two...... One...... The boy frantically wanted to remove the rubble from his sister's body, and he yelled desperately, throwing the rock bricks behind him with all his might, but the time was too short, and there were too many clutters, and when the time of the power was over, time began to flow again...... Bright red blood spilled from the cracks in the rock, little hands spasmed up before stopping convulsing, and the painful moans of his parents echoed in the boy's ears.

Smack.

The boy sat down in the rubble, he was exhausted, and a strong feeling of exhaustion from nowhere spread throughout his body, he stared blankly at the pile of rubble that was spilling blood in front of him, at his hands that were cut out by the rocks, at his parents whose legs were crushed on the side, and at each other's cries of pain, his mind went blank...... In the middle of the night, a violent explosion sounded in the distant city, igniting a raging fire, the bright light of the fire made the surroundings seem like day, and under the orange-yellow firelight, the boy's eyes flashed with a light and dark blue light in grief and despair.

On the inside of the pupil, the hands of the clock rotate, and even if it is delayed, it will never stop.

It's like fate.

And this is the prologue to the war, and the boy's story.

……

In the incomparably wide hall of the hall, the majestic and solemn forty-two metal iron pillars support the towering dome, making it fade into the dark shadows, on the slightly sunken ground of the hall, row after row of mysterious and complex runes extend towards the center, and the spectacular circle formed by countless regular lines is shining with light blue light at this time, and between the energy surges, countless light particles are scattered and disillusioned in mid-air, making the hall and hall magnificent and almost dreamlike.

But now, a 'man' slowly awakened from the throne in the center of the hall. Little by little, he opened his eyes, and there was a faint trace of light and shade fluctuations in the pupils that flashed with a deep blue light, and the hands of the clock rotated. But soon, these sad fluctuations dissipated and turned into indifference.

"Juggernaut."

The voice of the immature little girl sounded in his ears, it was a petite soul puppet floating in mid-air, and at this time, the puppet's calm and rarely undulating voice came: "The three hundred and nineteenth world line replacement failed, your observation failed, and you fell into a dream of the possibility of the collapse of the river of time. ”

"Yes."

Above the throne, the man was silent. After a long time, he turned his head and said in an indifferent and calm voice similar to that of a soul puppet: "I have another dream that I can't even capture hope. ”

The man was silent, and the hall of the temple suddenly fell silent, the slight hum caused by the flow of magic echoed between the light particles of magic and the dark dome, and it could be seen that their light was gradually weakening, as if it had lost the support of something important, and in the hall, the dreamlike feeling also faded rapidly, as if it was retreating from some unknown realm to reality.

And just before the light was about to dissipate completely, he spoke again.

"Then start the three hundred and twentieth time."

The man's voice was calm, and because of his words, time seemed to stop around him, whether it was the fading magical light or the fading dream, everything froze and stopped, the only exception was the petite soul puppet floating beside the throne, and this soul puppet was also respectfully in mid-air at this time, bowing his head and half-kneeling: "Follow your orders, 'Time Spinner', 'Master of Destiny', Your Majesty Fatloorvi." ”

"Now let's prepare for the 320th World Line Change, start connecting the River of Existence, start igniting the Initial Light, and start activating the 'Observer' system."

In the huge and magnificent hall hall, countless starlights lit up, the light blue light was flourishing, and the mysterious runes were surging layer by layer, forming two mighty streams of light, one surging and surging, and the other could not wave.

And above these two rivers, the dome shrouded in dark shadows began to glow, accompanied by millions of soul-like light clusters were ignited, and billions of stars bloomed in turn, as if the dome forged by the stars showed a magnificent posture - the starlight twinkled, it seemed to envelop everything in the world, reflecting the whole world and the multiverse.

And under the shroud of such a dome, the river of light, which was originally unwavering and calm like stagnant water, finally began to tremble slightly, as if a drop of water fell on the center of the river, and the layers of concentric ripples began to spread until they covered the entire river surface.

It was only then that the voice of the soul puppet came calmly and unhesitatingly.

"The three hundred and twentieth observations began."
