I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

"The 'Superpowered Person Education Island' in the Japanese archipelago has become incredibly popular among big shots around the world in recent years. Five years ago, I even invested quite a bit of money in the battle royale game, although everyone I chose lost... hahaha, but it was still pretty fun."

“Alright, you’re right.” One of the committee members nodded. “Thank you for enjoying the programs we prepared. Your country’s ‘Superpowered Cabin in the Woods’ project, ‘Chainsaw Maniac’ project, and ‘Bloody School’ project are also quite interesting. Although they are a bit bloody, the princess and her family at the Toyama Imperial Palace really enjoyed them.”

"Hahaha, I quite like it too." Major General Lesborne laughed heartily, about to say something more to exchange compliments.

Suddenly, a surprised voice came from the adjutant's side.

"The smoke and dust have disappeared... Hmm... Impossible!! This is impossible!!!"

"What's wrong?" Major General Lesborne snapped in a low voice. "Can't you see I'm chatting?"

"Major General, please look at the big screen."

Major General Lesborne followed his adjutant's gaze and then witnessed a scene that would completely upend his life.

After the billowing dust cleared, a huge golden boulder, straight and reaching the sky, stood tall in the small park.

The golden radiance is like the holy light of heaven, an absolute protection for the virtuous.

In the satellite image, dozens of people in the park were bathed in a golden glow, as if they were divine messengers descending to earth.

The two rounds of high-explosive bombing did not cause any damage to the people in the picture, and even the small park bathed in golden light was unharmed.

"this...."

Major General Lesborne instinctively felt that something was wrong, but his mind, already corrupted by wine, women, and money, was completely oblivious.

He even roared, "Are the high-explosive bombs you're using secondhand, passed through more than a dozen hands from the logistics department? Even the steel casing is fake?!"

"Major General, this high-explosive bomb is the latest experimental type; there shouldn't be any problems," the adjutant whispered a reminder.

"Then..." The youngest and most favored son of the Lesborne family finally set aside his airs as a major general, looking at his adjutant with a somewhat dazed expression: "Then..."

“This means an S-level superhuman has appeared. We need to report this to the country immediately and transfer most of our forces back home before they can react and destroy our air force base.” As a specially selected adjutant, he naturally possessed his own abilities.

"But... hasn't an S-class superhuman appeared for fifty years?" Major General Lesborne was still somewhat skeptical.

"The lives of the people of the Japanese archipelago are none of our concern. Leave now, and your life will not be in danger." The adjutant said directly to the Japanese archipelago committee members, "Even if your judgment is wrong, it will only consume a little resources. But if your judgment is correct, then you will be a hero who has protected our lives."

"Okay! I'll do as you say."

After saying this, Major General Lesborne quickly severed contact with the members of the Japanese committee and then issued orders to the personnel at the base.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the video, members of the Japanese committee, whose communication had been cut off, also received reports from the military about the situation on the ground.

The news that "the park and its interior were enveloped in a mysterious golden glow, yet remained completely unharmed" spread throughout the entire committee and the frontline combat command center in an instant.

The members of the various committees looked at each other in bewilderment.

"It's basically confirmed that the trouble caused by Hegang involves at least an A-level superpowered individual, or even an S-level superpowered individual," one of the committee members said in a low voice.

The female voice opposite him still refused to believe it: "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Forget S-class superpowered individuals, even A-class ones haven't appeared for at least fifty years. Could he just pop out of thin air?!"

"The enemy of mankind appeared suddenly in 19XX, without any warning."

"The next few [Enemy of Humanity] all possessed A-level combat power upon their emergence. However, after the implementation of the [Degraded Education Mode], no one has appeared for over fifty years, so we have selectively forgotten about them—after all, there are very few people over fifty years old in our committee."

"Don't take any chances."

“This time, a true enemy of humanity has appeared on our Japanese archipelago.”

"We should also remember the horror of being dominated by the [enemy of humanity]."

Chapter Thirteen: Reasonable

Violent explosions rang out overhead, one after another, with sounds and lights as if the sky were collapsing and the world was crumbling, accompanied by massive amounts of flames and thick smoke that swept everything away.

But to the surprise of all the super-powered teenagers in the park, the towering stone pillar remained completely unchanged.

The people enveloped by its thin layer of golden light remained completely unchanged.

The flames, holy light, thick smoke, and heat from the explosions seemed like products of another world, having no effect on those living in this world.

The golden light continued to flow slowly.

Under the radiance, Zhongli didn't even raise his head.

He looked at the [Feather Crossing Dust] in his hand and felt a little strange.

When he first used the [Feather Crossing Dust], he sensed the power it contained—a wondrous power that seeped into the very depths of the world, but which seemed unable to be fully unleashed in this world.

---It seems that only by going to the world where the Crimson Kite Immortal resides can its full power be unleashed. I'll try it when I go back to that world later.

With that thought in mind, Zhongli gently pulled on the [Feather Crossing Dust], and a semi-transparent soul floated out from Hegang's body.

"Mr. Hegang, please tell me everything you know."

.....

The history of this world seems to have been played a joke by the gods.

At a time when all the countries in the world were developing their industries, a strange thing suddenly attacked human civilization.

The year 19XX.

The first [Enemy of Humanity] has appeared.

However, the true identity of "Enemy of Humanity" is neither an alien nor a monster from another world, but a human who has awakened special abilities.

Since then, children with special abilities have gradually appeared all over the world.

For these humans who possess magical powers, human laws and ethical norms are completely incapable of restraining them.

After a war between ordinary people and superpowered individuals, the ordinary people emerged victorious.

In the century that followed, people’s ways of thinking and the actions of nations changed.

The country now openly acknowledges the existence of people with superpowers and has recruited them to training facilities and places known as schools within various countries, isolating them in these facilities.

The summoned humans are training day and night to fight against monsters known as the "enemies of humanity"—a belief firmly held by most citizens of most countries.

However, only a tiny minority know the many stories that have unfolded over the past century.

.......

Ten years after the First Enemy of Humanity and the First Superpowered War.

The second "enemy of humanity" has appeared, and it is more powerful and more terrifying than the first one.

As humanity advances in weaponry and technology, the power of the "enemies of humanity" is also growing ever stronger.

At that time, the entire society was terrified of superpowered individuals. All superpowered individuals were arrested and killed. Once discovered, even a blank infant would be killed.

In this situation, a superpowered individual was taught by his parents to evade the search—a situation that was not uncommon at the time, given the limited technology available.

After all, protecting one's own children is the most basic human instinct.

This superpowered individual went to university, earned a doctorate, and wanted to thoroughly understand his superpowers.

But somehow, his research assistant discovered his superpowers and reported them to the "committee" in their country at the time.

As a result, his parents were executed, he himself was captured, and his girlfriend, who wanted to help him, along with the child in her womb, were cruelly destroyed.

Thus, he became the enemy of humanity.

In just half a month, the entire country he was in was completely destroyed and annihilated.

In the end, humanity was unable to destroy him; he perished after destroying his own country.

The third "enemy of mankind" occurred only two years after the second, and its causes and consequences were extremely similar to those of the second "enemy of mankind".

This time he destroyed tens of millions of people and more than two countries.

Having experienced such a tragedy, the committee finally faced the problem squarely.

The pressure on those with superpowers began to ease, and the world enjoyed a period of relative peace.

For at least twenty years, the "enemies of humanity" were S-class and A-class superpowered individuals who harbored a deep hatred for humanity.

None of them appeared.

Just when society and the nation believed that such a harmonious relationship could be maintained.

The fourth [Enemy of Humanity] has appeared.

He is a descendant of a superpowered individual who was purged during the second term of the "Enemy of Humanity." Born with a deep hatred for ordinary humans, he even became a member of a national "Committee" through his abilities and acting skills.

Ultimately, the consequences he caused are indescribable, and much of the information has been lost.

But since then, all the committees have joined together and begun to fabricate a false history, which continues to this day.

Then, the fifth and final enemy of mankind appeared fifty years ago.

He taught the so-called committee a lesson: the power of a superhuman has nothing to do with age or physical strength, but is only related to the knowledge they have acquired and the crises they face.

Then the degraded education model was implemented worldwide, coupled with the increasingly sophisticated national monitoring system, health system, and the praise-based propaganda for those with superpowers.

In the past fifty years, there has been no further appearance of an "enemy of humanity".

There are only superpowered boys and girls who die fighting against the "enemy of humanity".

They have wavering values, low levels of knowledge, and insufficient development of their superpowers, making them basically unable to face danger.

Thus, the already unbalanced scales between ordinary people and those with superpowers were completely tipped over.

The tasks of the "committee" in each country are basically the same: to screen out superhumans through a nationwide health check, send them to a closed facility, and then slowly, preferably without their knowledge, kill them.

This situation is quite simple. Even with the slightest mistake, those super-powered teenagers will not be able to cause any damage to the increasingly powerful army.

However, compared to the ease with which things are handled, the power of the committee is growing.

Things started to gradually change.

What began as a war between ordinary people and superpowered individuals—almost two different races—turned into a sadistic frenzy.

Chapter Fourteen: The Purge Begins

Simple work, unlimited power.

If the committee controls the three most important parts of human society—the military, education, and propaganda—then the remaining functions of government certainly cannot remain independent.

A twisted, enormous, bloated, and filthy committee hovers over the heads of every nation.

The families on those committees even passed down the power from generation to generation, attempting to perpetuate this era of power.
