Infinite Hextech, I roam freely across the heavens.

It wasn't even midnight yet, and the natural numbers hadn't been updated. While waiting for the time to pass, Meng Li took out her phone to search for various information about this world and to verify it with the information she had obtained from Superman Z.

Soon, as time went by, Meng Li's expression became increasingly strange.

It's completely different from the news from the Blue Ocean Federation, which praises and criticizes current affairs and dares to say anything.

The news in this world has no entertainment gossip, no discussions of people's livelihood, and not even various political stunts. There are only reports about people with superpowers.

No, it can't even be called a report.

No article dares to say anything bad about superpowered people; all the news articles openly or subtly praise the greatness of superpowered people.

It's either a member of some superhero team killing a supervillain and saving the people, or some city guardian taking some beneficial measures for the people, improving their happiness.

It's understandable that news would naturally lean towards people with superpowers in a country ruled by people with superpowers, but this is going a bit too far.

When a society, whether in news, forums, or even video discussion areas, has not a single other voice, it can only mean one thing.

This country has a problem, a big problem.

Centralization? Ideological imprint?

A series of guesses flashed through Meng Li's mind.

Time passed second by second.

Soon, Meng Li put down her phone and rubbed her head, which was spinning from absorbing information too quickly.

His mental strength now far surpasses that of ordinary people, and his information processing speed is comparable to that of a computer.

In just over half an hour, he had memorized the country's superficial history and various news items.

At this moment, his brain was working at full speed, integrating and refining the various pieces of information he had previously extracted.

Thirty years ago, the political systems of nations in this world were still quite normal.

At that time, there were no superpowered individuals in this world, only individual countries that fought each other before the unification of the Blue Ocean Federation.

They interacted with each other, waged war against each other, each had their own history, and each had their own enemies and allies.

Everything was perfectly normal... until the Last World War broke out.

Due to the rapid development of technology, the Oren Empire's weapons were being upgraded at a very fast pace.

Power breeds ambition, and in order to gain more benefits, he, like most countries, chose to start a world war with a fabricated reason.

The battle unfolded exactly as they had anticipated.

At that time, the other two powerful nations in the world, the Holy Radiance Empire and the Starry Empire, were far from able to withstand the opponent's offensive.

In just six months of war, the Oren Empire had occupied nearly 60 percent of the world's land, countless small countries were destroyed, and the other two major empires were also suffering successive defeats.

If this trend had continued, the world would have seen its first unified nation.

Unfortunately, the accident happened.

No one knows what happened after the Holy Radiance Empire and the Starka Empire united, but on that very day, Z Superman appeared.

Its defenses are impenetrable by artillery fire, it boasts a speed exceeding that of an aircraft, and its attack power is comparable to that of a missile.

He himself was a walking weapon of war.

In just three days, a third of the Oren Empire's army was slaughtered, and countless defense lines were reduced to ruins.

At that time, it is said that the king of the Oren Empire wanted to sue for peace.

But something happened later, and a month later, the three empires of Saint Radiance, Star Ka, and Oren, along with all the remaining small countries, issued announcements officially dissolving their national governments and becoming members of the Superpower Empire.

Thus, the era of Superman Z began.

Everyone initially thought he would be a dictator, but the truth is that Superman Z is a perfectly good person.

He upheld justice, served the people, and would help anyone in need; he was a perfect saint.

But Superman Z is also human, and he has a deep-seated worry: he is the only superhuman in the world.

It seems that the heavens heard Z Superman's wish. To reward him for everything he did for the world, starting from the second year after the establishment of the Superpower Empire, children began to show various characteristics that were clearly different from those of humans.

These children, upon reaching adulthood, will awaken various unknown abilities and become superpowered individuals.

Superman Z believes this is a gift from God, so he regards every superhuman as his brother or sister, as a member of his big family.

All superpowered individuals can enjoy everything he has now, which is the origin of their extravagant lifestyle.

Meng Li felt she could only believe half of these news reports.

The history before the first half of the world war is more in line with the inherent weaknesses of human nature, and is therefore highly probable.

But after reading the news about Z Superman establishing his superpower empire, Meng Li felt that if she believed even one of the words, she would be an idiot.

Could a perfect Superman Z slaughter millions of soldiers?

Did the person who wrote this news article laugh at what they wrote?

Needless to say, the humans in this world are an absolute oppressed class in the face of superpowered individuals, based on his short experience.

Although he didn't know what methods Superman Z used to do it, he guessed it must have been dishonest, since the fear in those people's eyes was definitely not fake.

But are people with superpowers any better?

It seems that the superpowered person has become a member of the Z Superman family and can get whatever he wants.

But as Meng Li had said before, he absolutely refused to believe that Superman Z was a perfect good person. Compared to this obviously fake character, he was more inclined to believe that the other party was a cunning old fox.

But here's the question... what's the reason?

Why does Superman Z give such good treatment to superpowered individuals?

Meng Li had checked online and found that Z Superman's explanation of the superpower classification was correct, but he had missed one point.

Compared to the superpowered individuals in the superhero team, they have an additional ranking system above them.

That is the unique rating for Superman Z—Absolute Ability User.

Absolute power, absolute strength, absolute dominance.

He is undoubtedly the king among superpowered individuals; even if all the superpowered individuals joined forces, they would not be his match.

Since he can do anything, why not just force superpowered individuals to do whatever he really needs to do? Why keep them around?

It's a contradiction, but compared to the ridiculous reason that Z Superman lacks love and needs family, Meng Li still firmly believes in her own point of view.

Z Superman definitely has something going on. If you ask him why, there's no reason. He just says it's a special connection between two cunning old men.

Unfortunately, perhaps due to regulations, the information available online is not only unreliable but also scarce.

Especially after the establishment of the Superpower Empire, the history circulating online is full of false flattery and formulaic praise.
