If given a choice, Miki Shintaro would escape from this hunter world as quickly as possible and never come back.
What a wonderful future, a bright future... Whoever loves it can come, don't you think life is long enough?
He was really scared of [Heather], even hearing the name would make him shiver involuntarily.
Please don't blame Miki-kun for being timid. There are almost no people in their time who are not afraid of [Heather]. This name seems to be an eternal nightmare.
Shintaro Miki comes from the Earth in 2042, a world full of [superpowers].
Everything starts from the winter of 2020.
On December 20, 2020, at the Central Hospital of the South in Lyon, France, a 19-year-old boy named [Barre Francois] came down with his parents because he had often felt inexplicable burning pain in his hands in recent months.
When he arrived at the Southern Central Hospital, he was waiting patiently in the lobby for his number to be called. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arms, like fire. Then his arms were directly wrapped in flames, and the pillars of fire burned out large areas of the ceiling.
trace.
The soaked boy stood in the 'heavy rain' splashed by the fire sprinkler head with a confused look on his face.
This is the scene where the first officially recorded [superpower] was born in human history.
As if some inexplicable switch has been turned on, more and more [superpowers] are springing up all over the world.
Generally speaking, the following rules can be summarized -
First, the awakening of [superpowers] will definitely occur after the biological age of eighteen, which is what is generally recognized as ‘adulthood’ in the world.
Secondly, the superpowers of the living [superpowers] will never be repeated, but once the [superpowers] die, their abilities will reappear in a random human being around the world for an uncertain time (previously)
The official longest record is 1986 hours).
Thirdly, the awakening of [superpowers] has nothing to do with any genetic lineage or external factors, and is completely random.
Although there are a lot of [superpowers] awakened, most of them have no lethality or strange uses. The fingers can spray small streams of water (consuming the body's water), and can collect odor particles in the air through the tongue like a snake.
The eyes will shine (maximum brightness of a 20-watt light bulb), and long hair will grow on the body... This kind of power is of no use except adding some fun or trouble to daily life.
Besides, no matter how powerful the superpower is, can it be stronger than guns and cannons? Can it be stronger than a nuclear bomb in the face?
Governments of various countries either incorporated, imprisoned, or directly killed those "not so calm" awakened people in the early days of the 'Awakening Era'. As time went by, almost all [superpowers] became honest and registered with the official after awakening.
If you register, you will have more restrictions and protections than normal people, but they will not discriminate against you or lock you up. If you really don’t want to register, just hide it for the rest of your life and don’t show your powers in front of outsiders, and continue to be an ordinary person.
people.
Days like this lasted for four years, until April 1, 2025, a day that will be remembered by the whole world——
【Bloody April Fools' Day】.
At the finals of the 'Superhero Cup', the world's largest superpower competition held by the Country of Hope, just as the contestants were fighting, a floating figure appeared above the field, and a slender iron rod appeared out of thin air in his hand and continued to enlarge and change.
It has become a giant stick that blocks the sky and the sun.
The next second, the huge iron rod made a terrifying and tragic roar and fell downwards.
With just one blow, the Michigan Stadium, which can accommodate 100,000 people, as well as the spectators, staff, players, and even the pedestrians, vehicles and buildings around the stadium, were all involved in a terrifying shock wave.
More than 1.5 billion viewers around the world watched this desperate scene through live broadcast.
At the same time as the emergency rescue was underway, senior officials from various countries also captured the entire figure through high-definition video before the live broadcast was interrupted.
Human male, with matte black hair like a raven feather, a face that is too handsome to look like an ordinary person with Asian features, an expression of indifference without any waves, 183cm tall, estimated weight of 69kg, wearing a pair of clothing whose brand cannot be found
Black tracksuit…
I have checked all the officially registered information about superpowers around the world, and there is no information about this person at all.
Relevant experts soon raised the question - did the iron rod in his hand look a bit like the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in "Journey to the West"?
Coupled with this person's obvious Asian face, senior officials from various countries, especially the country of Hope, angrily sent messages to question the relevant departments of China. But China was also confused. If we had such a fierce man, we wouldn't have hidden it as a tactical weapon.
?Is it worth unleashing such a killer weapon just to ruin the game for your ugly country?
Just when the whole world was plunged into anger, panic and suspicion, this mysterious man appeared again.
On July 6, 2025, saboteurs appeared in Tokyo, Japan.
This time, his target was the Tokyo Sky Tree. The 634-meter tallest tower in the world was shrouded in dark clouds that suddenly filled the sky. With a terrifying bright light that could leave burn marks on the retina, a spear-shaped beam flashed.
Huge lightning flashed across the sky, hitting the tower at an astonishing speed and breaking the tower in half.
The 634-meter-tall tower in the past collapsed tragically amidst the ferocious roar.
Needless to say, this time he used the iconic weapon of God King Zeus in ancient Greek mythology - [thunderbolt].
From the time he appeared to the time he left, there was no unnecessary action or nonsense except destruction. Those think tanks couldn't even determine whether he was mute or not.
This time no one is blaming the Greek government, because everyone can see that this person has no demands, threats or hopes at all. He has only one purpose, and that is to 'destroy'.
December 4, 2025, London, England; May 9, 2026, Boston, the Land of Hope; February 9, 2028, Lyon, France; August 4, 2030, Australia...
In addition to using weapons from myths and legends every time, there is no pattern at all, and it is impossible to see that he has even the slightest scruples and compassion for human life. He is like a child throwing a tantrum and randomly slapping the park sand with a small shovel.
The ant nests on the ground are simply for venting or having fun.
People couldn't guess what his purpose was, and the scale of damage he caused each time was different. Sometimes thousands of people would die, and sometimes he would simply destroy uninhabited buildings without actively killing anyone.
Life even had two completely non-destructive actions, it simply floated above the place where it appeared for a while and then disappeared.
It's like a "natural disaster" that appears on a global scale at random times, random scales, and random locations. It is impossible to resist, unpredictable, and even impossible to condemn face to face.
Gradually, some people cursed him, hated him and called him the "Devil King", but there were also a few fanatics with twisted personalities who regarded him as the savior of the end of the world and the king of supernatural powers.
There is no other reason. This unparalleled destructive power alone could be regarded as a god in superstitious ancient times.
Of course, various countries have fought back, but there is no regularity in the time and place of the opponent's appearance. It is impossible to deploy weapons and armies around the world to take precautions at all times, right? Regular troops fighting in small groups cannot pose any threat to this mysterious demon king, and bullets cannot
Touching his skin, flames and lasers have no effect. The strange thing is that he will not fight back against the resistance from the attacked area. As long as he appears at the target location and completes what he wants to do, he will
Leave on your own.
This frightening day for the whole world lasted until April 6, 2034, on Nha Trang Beach, Vietnam.
Local residents witnessed the mysterious devil standing in front of the beach with his bare feet, letting the sea water wash over his feet, and looking towards the distant horizon, as if he was looking at it, or in memory.
Some brave residents took out their mobile phones to take photos and videos. One of these local residents happened to be an ardent fan of this mysterious devil. He took the initiative to talk to him, using a central Vietnamese accent - "Who are you?"
The Demon King turned his head slightly and slowly said a name. Then he flew into the sky and melted into the sea breeze and sunshine.
Later, when this mobile phone video was sent to research departments in various countries, they were surprised to find that no matter which country people listen to the name in the video, the Chinese pronunciation and writing of the name will appear in their minds as soon as they hear it——
【Heather】.
