Outlander's Journey

Chapter 56-Heather

If there is a choice, Shintaro Miki will escape this hunter world as quickly as possible and never return.

What a bright future, a bright future…Whoever loves come, whoever comes, is it not long enough?

He was really scared [Heather], even if he heard the name, he would shiver involuntarily.

Please don’t blame Miki-kun for his timidity. There are almost no people in their time who are not afraid of [Heather]. This name seems to be an eternal nightmare.

Shintaro Miki came from the earth in 2042, a world full of [superior abilities].

Everything must start from the winter of 2020.

On December 20, 2020, at the Southern Central Hospital in Lyon, France, a 19-year-old boy named [Barre François] suffered inexplicable burning in his hands in recent months and was accompanied by his parents. He arrived at the Southern Central Hospital, but when he was waiting patiently for the call in the lobby, he suddenly felt his arms burning like a severe pain, and then his arms were directly wrapped in the flames, and the ejected pillars of fire burned the ceiling to a large amount of black. trace.

The drenched young man stood in confusion in the ‘heavy rain’ splashed by the fire sprinkler.

This is the scene of the birth of the first [superior] officially recorded in human history.

As if some inexplicable switch has been turned on, more and more [superiors] have sprung up all over the world.

In general, the following rules can be summarized-

First, the [superior] awakening must be after the biological age of eighteen, which is the universally recognized “adult” in the world.

Second, the abilities of the surviving [superior] will never be repeated, but once [superior] dies, its ability will reappear on a random human on a global scale, and the time is uncertain (previously The longest official record is 1986 hours).

Third, [Actress] Awakening has nothing to do with any genetic lineage or external factors, and it is completely random.

Although there are a lot of [Abilities] Awakenings, most of them have no lethality or strange uses. Fingers can spray a small stream of water (consuming body water), can collect odor particles in the air through the tongue like a snake, the eyes will shine (maximum 20 watts of bulb brightness), and the body surface will grow long hair… This kind of power is useless except to add some fun or trouble to daily life.

Besides, no matter how strong the abilities are, can they be better than guns and cannons? Can it be stronger than a nuclear bomb?

Governments of various countries will either incorporate or imprison those awakened who are “not so calm” at the beginning of the “Awakening Era” or they will be killed directly on the spot. Over time, almost all [supernaturalists] are honest, and go to the official registration after awakening. Reporting is more restrictive and protective than normal people, but it will not discriminate against you or confess you. If you really don’t want to register, just hide it for the rest of your life, don’t show off your abilities in front of outsiders, and continue to be your ordinary person.

This kind of day lasted for four years, until April 1, 2025, a day that can be remembered by the whole world——

【Blood April Fools’ Day】.

At the final site of the World’s Largest Superhero Cup held by Hope Country, just as the players were fighting, a floating figure appeared above the arena, and a slender iron rod appeared in his hands out of thin air and continued to zoom in and change. Become a giant stick that obscures the sky and the sun.

In the next second, the huge iron rod brought a terrifying and sad roar, and smashed it downward.

With just one blow, the Michigan Stadium, which is enough to hold 100,000 people, together with the spectators, staff, contestants, and even pedestrians and vehicles around the stadium, were all involved in the shock wave of terror.

More than 1.5 billion viewers around the world have seen this desperate scene through live broadcast.

At the same time of emergency rescue, senior officials from various countries also captured the full picture of this figure through the high-definition video before the live broadcast was interrupted.

A human male, with matte black hair like crow feathers, as handsome as a mortal face with Asian characteristics, without a wave of indifference, 183cm tall, estimated weight of 69kg, wearing a suit that can’t find the brand Black sportswear…

I checked the information on the official registered supernatural powers around the world, and there is no information about this person at all.

A related expert soon asked-Is the iron rod in his hand a bit like the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in “Journey to the West”?

Coupled with this person’s obvious Asian face, high-level officials from various countries, especially the hopeful countries, sent out angrily to question the relevant departments of the celestial dynasty. But the Heavenly Dynasty is also at a loss. If we had such a fierce man, would we hide it as a tactical weapon? For your ugly country’s broken game, it is worth to release this big killer?

Just when the whole world was in anger, panic, and suspicion, this mysterious man reappeared.

On July 6, 2025, saboteurs appeared in Tokyo, Japan.

This time he aimed at the Tokyo Sky Tree, the tallest tower in the world, which was 634 meters high, was suddenly shrouded in layers of dark clouds covering the sky. With the frightening light flashing enough to leave a burn mark on the retina, a huge spear-shaped lightning flashed across the sky, hitting at an astonishing speed and smashing the tower.

The 634-meter-high tower that was once the world’s tallest tower collapsed tragically amidst the ferocious roar.

Needless to say, this time he used the iconic weapon of the god Zeus in ancient Greek mythology—thunderbolt.

From appearance to departure, there was no extra action or nonsense other than destruction, and the think tanks were not even sure whether he was dumb or not.

This time no one will criticize the Greek government, because everyone can see that this man has no demands, threats, or hopes at all. He has only one purpose, and that is ‘destroy’.

December 4, 2025, London, England; May 9, 2026, Hope Country Boston; February 9, 2028, Lyon, France; August 4, 2030, Australia…

In addition to using weapons in myths and legends every time, there is no rule at all, let alone the slightest scruples and compassion for human life, as if a temper tantrum is slapped on the park sand with a small shovel. The ant colony on the ground is purely for venting or fun.

People can’t guess what his purpose is. The scale of damage caused by each shot is not the same. Sometimes thousands of people are killed, sometimes just simply destroying buildings that no one exists, and does not take the initiative to kill anyone. Life, there were even two actions that were completely undamaged, but simply floated over the place where it appeared for a while and then disappeared.

It is like a [natural disaster] that appears on a global scale at random times, scales, and locations. It is impossible to resist, unpredictable, and even unable to condemn it face-to-face.

Gradually, someone cursed him and hated him and called him the [Devil King], but there were also a few fanatics with a distorted personality who regarded him as the savior of the last days and the king of abilities.

There is no other reason, just this unparalleled destructive power, if placed in the superstitious ancient times, it can be regarded as a god.

Of course, countries have counterattacked, but the time and place of the opponent’s appearance is irregular. It is impossible to deploy weapons and armies around the world to guard against it at all times, right? The regular troop that made little trouble did not pose any threat to this mysterious demon. The bullets could not touch his skin, and the flames and lasers were useless. The strange thing is that he would never counterattack these attacks from the attacked area, as long as he appeared at the target location and completed what he wanted to do, he would leave on his own.

This kind of scary days around the world lasted until April 6, 2034, on the beach in Nha Trang, Vietnam.

The local residents witnessed the mysterious demon standing bare-footed in front of the beach, letting the sea wash his feet, looking towards the horizon of the distant sea, as if he was looking at it or remembering it.

The bold residents took out their mobile phones to take photos and videos. One of these local residents happened to be an avid fan of the mysterious demon king. He took the initiative to speak up, using the Vietnamese accent-“Who are you on earth?”

The devil turned his head slightly and slowly said a name. Then he flew up into the air, dissolving in the sea breeze and sunlight.

Later, when this mobile phone video was sent to research departments of various countries, they were surprised to find that the name in the video no matter which country people listened to, as long as they heard it, the Chinese pronunciation and writing of the name would appear in their minds——

【Heather】.
