Chapter 5
Chapter 5: Godslayer Humankind
Under the guidance of the Emperor of Humankind, the political and military structure of the Old World changed immensely. Paper money lost its value since it would be useless in the new world, and the true value of a man fell into his mind and brute strength.
Strategists, generals, and soldiers became the most significant figures of the new world. Politicians and the likes found that rallying the masses mattered little when one man could kill all of them with a single strike.
After spending almost a year raising talents and teaching people the basics of the new world and the Wave, the Emperor of Humankind led humanity out of their ancestral home and into a new world.
Thanks to the Emperor of Humankind’s protection and the rise of soldiers that mastered the Wave, humankind obtained a foothold in this new world.
One of the first hurdles of the new world was the approach toward science, as the physical laws of this new world were different from the Old World, making the current technology useless.
However, humankind persevered. Our territories expanded, and the creatures that were unstoppable monsters became nothing more than food.
Seventy-six years after leaving the Old World, humankind learned two pieces of crucial information.
.....
The first was that the new world had the name Aether, and we were currently in the Gaia Continent. The world’s size remained a topic for discussion, but the Gaia Continent was one thousand times larger than the Old World.
The second information was the presence of other sentient races as wise as humans and who mastered the Wave to a much higher level.
A bloody war began soon after meeting those new races, and although humankind was powerful, we were still too young. Our lack of power and the enemy carnage pushed humanity to the brink of extinction.
