"We will eliminate them, we will rule them! Being a superhuman is a source of pride, proof of our future world domination!"

"Yes, darling, that's how it should be!"

Storm, hiding behind the scenes, looked at Homelander with a dazed expression. She silently clenched her fists until blood seeped out... But in Homelander's dazed eyes, she saw another person.

A figure, a figure who once captivated the goddess of storms and made all of Germany fall for him!

As she watched Homelander's retreating figure, even though they looked nothing alike, Storm still felt that he was her leader!

And now, in this new era, she will inherit herself, inherit the empire, inherit the will of the leader—to punish the whole world!

Storm opened her mouth slightly, and the words she murmured were like the impassioned speech of Homelander…

"The fight between superpowered individuals and ordinary people can only have two outcomes! Either they'll step over our dead bodies, or we'll climb to the throne over their heads!" Homelander roared excitedly, waving his hands.

If someone says, "You're dreaming!" I can only reply, "You idiot, where would we be today if I weren't a dreamer?"

I've always believed in you, believed in us superpowered beings! I firmly believe we will rise again. You may call me a fool, but I've always believed we can reclaim our power!

You say I'm crazy, but I've always believed that oppression will end; you say that's utopia. Who's right? You or me? I'm right, and I always will be!

Homelander's speech was so passionate, and he resonated strongly with the superpowered individuals who had been "persecuted"!

Of course, some of them who have been to school might find the content of the Homelander's speech very familiar.

And perhaps he should then talk about social Darwinism and the necessity of ethnic cleansing.

"So, everyone, those of us who possess divine power should become gods!" Homelander clenched his fists and roared with laughter...

"I've had enough of all this red tape! Let's storm the White House, kill the president, and replace those clueless politicians to rule and enslave this country!"

Homelander's words elicited cheers and jubilation, and with a wave of his hand, he presented his "gift"...

Those were batches of Compound V that Vought Corporation had hoarded. These were drugs that could induce ordinary people to awaken into superpowered beings... For the superpowered beings themselves, they were also "enhancing drugs"!

These drugs will grant these superhumans, who are relatively weak compared to the military, greater power!

They will become weakened Homelanders, and together with him, march on Washington, destroy the White House, and rule America!

No one will refuse Homelander, because those who refuse him are already dead.

Like black and starlight with their heads removed, their heads still hang from the ceiling dome—

Everyone here already understood that they either obeyed the orders of their homelanders or faced a gruesome death!

Without choice or hesitation, the superpowered individuals picked up the syringes containing the Blue Glowing Potion.

Without hesitation, he plunged the drug into his vein. As the drug flowed, he hesitated all over, foamed at the mouth, and looked joyful, enjoying the dual pleasure of strength and physiology!

Just as Homelander was watching all the superhumans inject Compound V into their bodies to enhance themselves, Storm suddenly walked over in a hurry and whispered a few words in Homelander's ear.

The man from the homeland paused for a moment, then his expression became incredibly complex. There was astonishment, disbelief, anger, and most importantly, an overwhelming sense of urgency!

"Hurry up, you pigs!" Homelander suddenly became incredibly agitated, glaring at the guys lying on the ground convulsing with pleasure due to the enhancement effects of Compound V. He then flew upwards, crashing through the dome and roaring through the night sky...

"Quick, we can't let him get there first!"

Homelander had to act, because before him, Sea Tiger had already stormed the White House!

35. Do the right thing

Wu Nan vaguely remembers witnessing a demonstration by ordinary people when he was six years old.

The incident occurred near Sydney. Because Wu Nan was playful, he followed his older brother, who also wanted to go out and have fun, and slipped out of the house to see the world.

Because of their love for nature, and also because they wanted to avoid the influence of Blue Dream Company, Wu Nan's family's secluded location was constantly changing. At that time, they were living in Australia, so he and his older brother took the opportunity to sneak off to Sydney for a trip.

Then, they witnessed a large-scale protest and riot against Blue Dream, with crowds filling the not-so-dense streets of Sydney.

The main content of the riot was actually aimed at those with strong magnetic fields.

At that time, the world had begun to become tripolar with the rise of the Kingdom of Heaven and the Blue Dream Company's decision to step forward. The Blue Dream Company, which unified Europe, America and Australia, adopted a very brutal policy of repression.

A large number of magnetic field experts from Blue Dream Company have rapidly conquered various European and American countries...

They used the most efficient and ruthless methods to kill off uncooperative local politicians and tycoons, allowing Blue Dream Company to smoothly take over the political reins.

In fact, the methods of Heaven and the Lion Church are similar. Even Hell, which loves its people like its own children, only gives them one more chance to choose.

Whether it was Blue Dream, Heaven, or Lion Society, after they ruled their own territories and became world power institutions, they all formulated preferential policies for those with strong magnetic fields.

People who are found to have magnetic field talent will receive tremendous preferential treatment, regardless of their previous status!

Regardless of what they did before, their social status will rise by leaps and bounds after discovering their magnetic field talent. They will receive superior treatment in all aspects of society, and even prisoners in jail will receive reduced sentences or even be exempted from punishment!

Whether it's Blue Dream, Hell, or Lion, they all unhesitatingly added a new class to the original human social hierarchy—the class of strong magnetic fields.

Of course, this is not actually a bad thing.

Because those with strong magnetic fields are not rich people, officials, or celebrities.

They do not possess weak things like the means of production; they possess a much more thorough "power".

Those with strong magnetic fields are essentially equivalent to the "army" in society, and they represent the concentration of extreme violence in an individual.

They need to be treated preferentially, and they must be treated preferentially, because such preferential treatment can itself be seen as a way of "isolating" them from ordinary people.

It is a necessary step for those with strong magnetic fields to surpass ordinary people. This statement may be cruel, but it is an extreme fact.

Even hell, which treats its people as equals, demonstrates this point...

Because they are among the best in magnetic field power, they understand better than anyone the terrifying destructive power of this force... and as magnetic field power experts, they also understand the mindset that comes with possessing this power.

Honestly, most people who gain magnetic field power would never be able to behave as law-abiding citizens. The sheer pleasure of doing whatever they want with that powerful force would be enough to turn most people into monsters in an instant.

Powerful force is something that transcends everything else in human society...

It is something that can smash any means of production or any meaningless social status.

However, it is clear that most ordinary people cannot understand this.

Or rather, although they could understand, they could not tolerate such behavior when incited by those with ulterior motives and when they automatically abandoned critical thinking after joining the group.

Thus, riots and conflicts ensued.

The riots that occurred in Australia were for this reason...

It is said that the protest was initially sparked by a person with a strong magnetic field who killed someone in the street but was not arrested... So someone started the protest, which eventually turned into a large-scale protest and riot involving more than 100,000 people.

This is not actually a big deal. Of course, Wu Nan is not saying that killing is right, but the fact that the death of one person can turn into a protest and riot involving 100,000 people says a lot.

This is merely a microcosm of the class conflict between ordinary people and those with strong magnetic fields.

Conflicts don't arise out of thin air. Huge conflicts are like barrels of gunpowder that have been accumulating. What seems like a sudden explosion is just a problem that has been built up over the past.

Human society has witnessed countless such upheavals: the bourgeoisie versus the king, the proletariat versus the capitalists, the common people versus the police, the minority versus the majority, and so on...

There are many reasons for disputes: the distribution of benefits, discrimination against minorities, differential treatment... These injustices that are ubiquitous in human society can all become the fuse for conflict.

The divide between those with strong magnetic fields and ordinary people is far greater than the group differences at any time in human society.

Perhaps only when one side completely submits and kneels can the problem be declared over... Thus, what happened after this riot completely laid the foundation for the shape of the world pyramid.

What happened after the protests?

That's a topic that doesn't even need to be discussed.

All of the more than 100,000 people who participated in the demonstrations died, all at the hands of the Blue Dream Company's cleanup forces.

With sabotage, bats, and electric eels, Blue Dream Company deployed three top-level executives, along with a large number of new technological weapons... to slaughter all the demonstrators in the shortest time and with the highest efficiency.

They not only spared no one, but also refused their surrender and admission of wrongdoing. They later even blockaded Sydney and dropped a high-yield hydrogen bomb, leveling the entire city.

This seemingly unnecessary action was simply Lanmeng Company expressing its attitude directly.

Ordinary people only have the right to kneel and submit, and the right to obey orders. They have no right to fight for anything, nor are they worthy of demanding any rights from Lanmeng Company.

Their lives, their ability to live, and everything they have are all thanks to the blessings of Blue Dream Company.

They never had any rights; everything they did was granted by Blue Dream Company.

As for forcing the Blue Dream Company, which rules this place, to choose between ordinary people and those with strong magnetic fields?

Ha, this is a complete joke.

They would choose the "minority" of strong magnetic field users without even thinking... because they represent power, absolute power that surpasses everything in human society, and even productivity.

Ordinary people are nothing.

They have no power to stand up straight in the face of the strong, nor can they limit their productivity in any way.

Moreover, the high-ranking people who rule this world are all strong in magnetic fields, so how could they possibly care about ordinary people?

Neither the Heavenly Kingdom nor the Lion Society offered any comment on the swift and brutal acts committed by Blue Dream Company.

If it were any other country in the past, such an atrocity committed by a hostile nation would surely have been recorded extensively and even exaggerated to smear it... But the rulers of those with strong magnetic fields would not do such a thing.

Because what Lanmeng does is what they would do as well.

If the same thing happened on the territory of Heaven and the Lion Society, perhaps the process would be different, and perhaps the slaughter would not be as thorough as that of the Blue Dream Company...

But without a doubt, even a hellish leader beloved by the people would not hesitate to make an example of someone!

When they stepped onto the stage to vie for world domination, their stance and policies were already predetermined. In this zero-sum game of competition among the strong, they had no choice but to act rebelliously.

The class conflict between those with strong magnetic fields and ordinary people ended in the fastest and most brutal way.

Without struggle, without revolution, without any heroic rebellion in human history, everything was nipped in the bud.

Since the day Sydney was destroyed, there have been no more protests or demonstrations worldwide targeting those with strong magnetic fields.

Attacks targeting individuals with strong magnetic fields have been reduced to a minimum, and even small-scale riots have had no significant impact.

Why? Because these ordinary people have been forced to accept a cruel fact—that their rulers stand behind another group.

Perhaps in the eyes of their rulers, the people are just the people... but if forced to choose sides, their leaders would never favor them.

What's even more despairing is that even if they rise up in resistance, to the group that rules them, they are nothing more than a bunch of ants jumping up and chattering.

When the group's military force cannot shake the top rulers, and even their production capacity cannot produce a "supporting" effect, the group, even if it occupies the majority, is no longer the correct representative.

Just like with the general public who are the ultimate producers, so what if they make up the majority? Justice and righteousness still belong to the ultimate producers.

Incidentally, Shou Nan and Wu Nan didn't manage to escape Sydney that day... but they were taken back by Hai Hu, who came out to capture them.

The eldest brother was beaten severely by his father that day, and was also punished by not being allowed to eat for three days. Wu Nan was also pinned to the knee by Hai Hu and given a severe beating on his buttocks.

Wu Nan remembers it clearly. That day, he went to his mother to cry and complain. After snuggling in his mother's arms on her sickbed, he talked about what happened that day.

But this is what Wu Nan was told by his mother and his father, who came in later.

Lan Meng is cruel, Lan Meng is a dog, but what Lan Meng does is absolutely right.

Because he cannot prevent disputes and conflicts between groups...

Throughout human history, no ruler or wise man has been able to prevent conflicts between groups arising from unequal distribution of benefits. They could only suppress them, never truly resolve them.

Explosives will eventually explode; the only difference is the extent of the damage they cause. The solution simply means the complete annihilation of one group.

What Lanmeng did was simply to detonate the bomb before it fully exploded... when the first signs appeared.

Because conflict between the two groups is bound to break out sooner or later, and the stronger party will never back down, it's better to make an example of them than to let the conflict kill more people.

To tell the world this bloody truth through the massacre of hundreds of thousands of people... to prevent greater conflicts and massacres in the future through the destruction of a city.

Lan Meng was ruthless, but absolutely right. He wasn't necessarily compassionate, but it was precisely because of his ruthlessness that he prevented a reckless and predictable war from drawing more people into it and causing them to die without a burial!

Looking back now, that explains why Wu Nan remembers this incident so vividly...

It's hard to believe that such a gentle mother and a patient father could say such cruel things.

But though cruel, it was undoubtedly a lesson that Wu Nan received from his father and mother.

Just like Bai Wujie's education of Wu Nan not long ago.

Those with strong magnetic fields are no longer ordinary people. Regardless of one's own thoughts, they are already two completely different groups.

And how similar are the conflicts of this world to Wu Nan's own world?

They are both ordinary people powerless, and both are powerful superpowered individuals. If there has to be a difference, then perhaps it's that the power of a superpowered individual is completely incomparable to that of someone with a strong magnetic field.

Human armies and forces can contend with superpowered individuals, and even gain a certain advantage. In fact, superpowered individuals themselves were created by humans.

However, the conflict between groups will not change; the powerful will crave more resources...

Those who rely on their lineage to gain a higher social status will never relinquish their interests.
