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

That year, when the boy was fourteen years old, he wore a black mourning suit and dug a pit in the back mountains of his hometown. He put the remains of his parents inside, keeping their graves with his sister's small grave, and the boy prayed to the gods, who prayed that the three would be reunited underground.

The teenager is sad about the loss of his parents, but he is also glad that they can finally leave this world full of malice because of their disabled legs, but the teenager is so alone, and there is no warm thing in the world to be nostalgic for.

This is the second year after the all-out war between the superpowers and the world government, after the suicide and destruction raids of the radical superpowers on major cities, many prosperous cities in the world of Sibeja were destroyed, twenty-two of the capitals of the thirty-seven member states of the world government were destroyed, and more than 250 million people died in the 'three dark days' at the beginning of the war, and several times that number died in the chaos and skirmishes that followed—the following two years of full-scale war, It has also reduced the total population of the entire Siboya world by one-third.

The radical superpowers believe that they are the new humans who represent the future, and that mortals without superpowers are old species that should be eliminated, and these old species dare to plot to deprive them of their superpowers, which is undoubtedly an undying revenge - these crazy superpowers use their abilities without psychological burden, destroying everything they can see, and they do not spare anyone, including the old and weak, women and children, even specifically targeting the old and weak.

In fact, once the superpowers with small targets but great power put down their moral bottom line and start to carry out indiscriminate attacks, there is almost nothing in this world that can stop them, and on the frontal battlefield, the army of ordinary humans may still have the power to fight, but no matter how the security war in the city is fought, the world government side is more seriously damaged, because it is difficult to prevent destruction attacks, and the super cities with a population of more than 10 million in the past basically no longer exist, and the world government divides the big cities under their umbrella one by one, and then builds them into fortresses that watch over each other, But even so, it is impossible to prevent it.

If it weren't for the fact that some of the superpowers subordinate to the world government were able to restrain and prevent the attacks of the radicals, the world order would have collapsed long ago, unlike now, the world government still controls most of the world, and often sends mechanized armies to wipe out the superpower communities located all over the world, and the reason why these superpowers are willing to side with the vast majority of ordinary people who are hostile to or even hate the superpowers is because everything they hold dear has been destroyed by the attacks of those radicals.

The world calls these superpowers who hunt for revenge 'hunters', and the boy is one of them.

Although one of the youngest hunters, the teenager has already experienced many battles. At first, he would still be confused by killing, and even afraid of the blood in his hands, but thinking that it was those radical superpowers who destroyed his home and killed his family, the boy never relented again, he became cold-blooded and cruel, and never forgave anyone.

The boy and several hunters formed a team to act together, they hunted down the lurking superpowers in the city, and fought with the members of the radical super power society in the wilderness, with their own ability, the boy wandered between life and death again and again, defeating powerful enemies, and it was precisely because of this that he also realized the essence of his ability in the display of his ability again and again.

That's 'stagnation'.

It is not the 'self-acceleration' that the boy himself imagined before, but on the contrary, the essence of his ability is to freeze everything within a large range of self-centered things. And in this stagnant space, only he can move, and 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 be slowed down to the point where he can dodge.

It sounds incredible, but for the Sibeyas, it's not something to marvel at...... Because superpowers don't have to follow any rules, this is the conclusion that the Siboya World Government has come to after years of research.

The superpowers of the superpowers are all kinds of strange, some are quite ordinary and can be explained by science, while some are completely contrary to common sense, and even ignore all kinds of laws, even the superpower awakening is the case - so far, neither the radical superpowers nor the world government have found any laws of awakening, and the person who awakens the superpower may still be a beggar begging on the street a day ago, and the descendants of the two superpowers may also be unable to awaken the superpower for life.

There must be some kind of internal law in this, but because the Siboya Central Research Institute, which has studied this aspect the most, was destroyed by the most powerful superpowers at the very beginning of the war, this law has not been discovered to this day.

Because of the boy's subconscious vigilance and deliberate hiding, almost everyone thinks that his superpower is teleportation, and in terms of external performance, it seems that there is really no difference. In actual combat, stagnation may not be able to cause large-scale destruction, but it is too convenient for the superpower with a fragile body, in the past two years of hunting, the boy has killed more than eighty radical superpowers with his own ability, almost the number of the entire team of other squads, among these superpowers, there are many powerful enough to defeat the army alone, but in the defenseless condensation space, their end is that the head falls to the ground, becoming the hero's feat.

In this way, two more years passed in strife, 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 several of the strongest superpowers whose destructive power is comparable to fusion bombs, but not to mention that there are enough hunters on the side of the world government, they are rootless duckweed after all without population support, and years of all-out war have not only reduced the world's population by one-third, but also sharply reduced the number of radical superpowers, and today, except for the largest dozen superpower groups, most of the superpower groups have been wiped out.

On the other hand, with the many awakened people brought about by the huge population base, the world government has a steady stream of superpowers, and the war seems to last long...... In the various fortresses, the countdown to an all-out counteroffensive has begun on the television stations, exciting speeches are broadcast on every broadcast, and the chaotic Superpower Age is coming to an end, and 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, he was seventeen years old at this time, and there were several hunter comrades-in-arms who had a tacit understanding and could rely on each other, because of friendship and bonds, that cold heart regained its warmth, and he was already a young man and couldn't help but look forward to the future - what kind of life should he live after the war? Are you looking for a cute girl to marry? If you want to get married, who will you invite to the wedding? How many children do you want to have after marriage? What should my child do in the future?

This is the case with the Sibeya, who love order, who like a life that is predictable and controllable. Youth was no exception, he had even begun to prepare for parenting, bought several pre-war nursery books at the thrift market, and even began to plan the renovation of his new home, waiting for the arrival of his future hostess...... Even the friendly laughter of Zhan couldn't stop him from thinking about all this, maybe it was the taste of happiness.

If only everything was really as good as I imagined.

On a cold and damp autumn afternoon, as if a light rain could penetrate the bone marrow, under this gloomy sky, the last few large superpower groups were eradicated by the army of the Siboya World Government and the hunters, and there were no large-scale radical superpower groups in this world, only illegal superpowers scattered all over the world.

The young man who has been struggling for many years - no, it should be said that it is only men now. The adult man breathed his breath tired on the final battlefield full of gunsmoke, he used his ability again and again to help his squad save the day, protect his comrades who had been fighting together for many years, and more than twenty times in a row in one day, the man felt that his ability was completely overloaded, but he did not feel hard at all, because this is the last battle, after this war, the world will return to order, the night of war is about to pass, and the dawn of peace is just around the corner.

At this time, the man was already one of the high-level hunters, and he had the strongest hunter squads, and this time in order to deal with the only remaining and strongest group of crazy superpowers, the hunters almost poured out, but even so, this battle was extremely difficult.

Those who can survive in the war until now are not a single weakling, each has the strength to fight against an entire army alone, they can call for wind and rain and thunder, create tornadoes and earthquakes, some can absorb all physical impacts, some can control the energy of entities, and even there are a lot of mind controllers who can control people's hearts, if it were not for the full support of the world government, it would be impossible to defeat the other side with the power of the hunter alone, and the casualties on both sides were extremely heavy, and they almost died together, Several government legions were completely denumbered.

But in the end, the hunter won. The most powerful of the radicals, the superpowers with the destructive power of fusion bombs, were killed by a sneak attack by the man, while the others were now outside the atmosphere by the powerful of the Sibeja flying machines and other hunters, the man looked up at the overcast sky, he couldn't help but laugh as he watched the flickering light behind the clouds.

The war was coming to an end, and he even began to think about how he would hold a peace banquet tomorrow, and the faces of the men and his comrades-in-arms were filled with happiness, which was the smile that only those who have tomorrow and hope can show.

But the next moment, a happy smile froze.

Because the original allies, the armies subordinate to the Siboya World Government, suddenly turned against the hunters.

Relentless bullets shot from the defenseless back, in an instant, one-third of the remaining hunters died on the spot, the remaining hunters were furious, they looked at the indifferent face of the Siboya World Government troops, and cursed loudly for each other's inexplicability, these battle-hardened superpowers immediately began to prepare for a counterattack, but before they could begin to release their superpowers, a steel facility like a signal tower was erected from the army's array, and the invisible field spread, and almost all the hunters lost their superpowers.

After many years, when all the superpowers were almost forgetting about it, the anti-superpower intervention field was successfully developed in countless specious rumors over the years, and their first target was actually their former comrades.

"The world doesn't need superpowers."

The man could hear the cold voice, he could see his comrades on his side fall one after another, bullets piercing their brains, shrapnel from the bomb tearing up their bones and internal organs, the man looked around blankly, everything was stagnant, and before the anti-superpower intervention field could reach him, he was blocked by the condensed space, which allowed him to survive the unguarded surprise attack, but it also allowed him to witness his comrades die 'gradually' before his eyes.

At this moment, the man feels that he has once again returned to the day when he was twelve years old, and he has once again witnessed the destruction of the things he cherishes, and he can only sit back and watch everything happen—the difference is that the last time it was the superpower, which brought the bitterness called 'powerlessness', and this time, it was the ordinary people, and it brought the evil consequences called 'betrayal'.

Is this betrayal abrupt? Actually, no, at this moment, the man has already recalled all kinds of omens-the budget cuts of the hunters, the propaganda and publicity in the open and covert, and the public opinion that puts all the fault on the 'superpowers', not just the radicals...... While everyone was immersed in the narcotics called victory, the world government had already prepared the butcher's knife.

The man left the battlefield in a daze, no one noticed his departure, and after completing the mission, the World Government troops disposed of all the bodies of the superpowers, and then hurried back to their respective camps, they still had many tasks to do, and the annihilation of the remnants of the hunters was just one of them, and they had to rush back to the fortress to capture all the superpowers living in the city.

The man who couldn't comprehend all this was exhausted, and as he galloped back to the fortress where he used to live, a riot was taking place inside the fortress - countless ordinary people frantically stormed the doors of the superpowers who lived in the city, and then dragged out the superpowers who had little combat ability to kill...... The powerful superpowers are either radicals or hunters, and the little that remains is basically in the world government, and they have long been wiped out, and all that remains are weak superpowers who basically have no effect.

These weak superpowers are powerless to resist, they don't even know why their former kind neighbors would suddenly attack them, and even some of the superpowers have called for everyone to stop, there is definitely some misunderstanding in this - their heads have all been cut off as an embellishment for this carnival riot, which happened everywhere in the world, whether it was in the top of the government or in the slums, without exception.

As for why...... Quite simply, because the superpowered can receive a subsidy that is far superior to that of the commoners, because the superpowered do not think of themselves as the same kind as ordinary people, because the superpowered person always has a smug face, as if he is different.

The most important thing is because the superpowers have superpowers, and they don't.

The man who sneaked back into the street where he lived could see that the cozy hut, which had just been renovated for a few days, was already burning with a scorching flame, and on the nearby street, a mutilated, headless corpse had shrunk from the heat.

Whose corpse is that?

Who knows.

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

On this day, 90% of the world's superpowers died, both radicals and hunters were completely wiped out, superpowers were almost extinct from the world of Sibeya, and the lucky surviving superpowers were in panic, they could not see the future, could not see hope, and even began to doubt the meaning of their existence, and the patrols that hunted the remnants of the superpowers searched every corner of the world.

But the world left behind has not changed for the better as the world government had envisioned, in fact, it has become worse.

Because with the death of a large number of superpowers, the world has undergone all kinds of 'abnormal changes'.

- It is rumored that superpowers can devour each other's supernatural essence for self-improvement.

But except for the most powerful superpowers, no one knows what the supernatural essence is, and even those superpowers say that the entire world is filled with countless supernatural essences, and no one else can see it, let alone devour it.

But there is no doubt that this essence exists, and it is greatly related to the awakening and birth of the superpower...... The death of countless superpowers seems to have set off a frenzy in the entire Xiboya world, and the invisible frenzy is surging, and those ordinary people who were crazy in the past are horrified to find that they also seem to have superpowers, and they seem to have become a member of the prey, and the speed at which this superpower is born is ten times faster than in the past.

This is something that the world government never expected.

The birth of the superpower was originally unpredictable, but the speed of the birth of the superpower was not fast at the beginning, so there was a possibility of completely eliminating it and suppressing its birth with an anti-superpower interference field, and the world government believes that the whole world will return to its original appearance under the effect of the anti-superpower position. But the position cannot be opened 24 hours a day, and the hunters, as powerful superpowers and heroes who can compete with the radicals, will surely become a new privileged class after the war, so that the superpowers and ordinary people can get along on an equal footing? Even the super-powers themselves don't believe it.

Therefore, the world government, which is on the side of ordinary people, will never sit idly by and watch the growth of the power of the superpowers, and the new order must be sacrificed with the blood of the superpowers.

But now, when the contradictions between ordinary people and superpowers have intensified, and there is no room for relaxation and coexistence, the world government has found that their rule has begun to fall apart...... Because of the greatly accelerated spread of superpowers, no one knows whether they will become superpowers in the next moment, whether they will become prey, and the superpower extermination plan that originally made everyone cheer has become the source of self-destruction of the world government, because the superpowers who initially awakened naturally are still biased towards order, but now, they are forced to become outright antisocial elements.

Think about it, if you suddenly have superpowers, have enough power to control the lives of ordinary people at will, and the law can't bind you, but ordinary people who don't have superpowers are hostile to you, even hateful to you, and they want to deprive you of your superpowers all the time, and want to kill you and other superpowers all the time - what would you do?

There may be some who will be slaughtered, but there will always be those who want to resist, even if they are part of the group that wants to wipe out the superpowers - the human position shifts as quickly as the light.

So...... Order, collapsed.

Anyone can kill anyone, they can't stop anyone, and when the number of superpowers increases in an unbelievable number, the world falls into some kind of cycle of collapse that is getting faster and faster...... There are more and more types of superpowers, and the abilities are becoming more and more powerful and strange, in order to protect themselves, in order not to be preempted by others, everyone is crazy and fights with each other, destroying everything they can see, the world is collapsing, the ecological cycle is completely collapsed, the earth is scorched, the sky is dark, and under this real apocalypse, human beings are still fighting each other.

The 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 the human heart.

Case...... Since the human heart is like this, the world is like this. Since this is the case, since order is so.

Then it can only be so.

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

And so, time flew by, and the moment when the throne of metal took shape at the center of the world—

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

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

Joshua, who should have been turned back in time, watched all this, he stared at this dreamlike past, the warrior was silent, he watched the man create a new order by himself, he watched the man create a metal human form as his slave, he watched the man indifferently treat all things equally, forge souls into tools.

Joshua stared at the destruction and rebirth of the old Sibeja world, staring.

He turned his head to look at the man behind him, watching it all with him.

"The 320th observation failed...... It's this ending again. ”

The man muttered so, he tilted his head slightly, and looked at Joshua, his gaze was indifferent, but it was not high, the man just stared at him without any emotion, and then whispered, "The Advent." ”

"Get out of my world."
