After Death, I Became a Superhuman

Heijia City.

At eight o'clock in the evening, while in other cities it might be the time when nightlife is just beginning, it is not the case here.

The city is shrouded in darkness, the bustling streets of the day have disappeared, leaving only empty streets and lurking shadows. It is like an incomplete painting, with countless details blurred in the darkness, reflecting the deepest fears in people's hearts.

A figure sways and walks alone under the night sky of the city, casting long shadows under the streetlights.

He stops under an old dilapidated building, looks up at the tower, and his expression seems somewhat lost.

He remembers that he has been to this place, perhaps it is still a place that is important to him. Even when he can't remember who he is, he still vaguely remembers this place.

There are fragments in his mind. Some are sad, angry, involving a dirty child, a crying woman, and a vicious man.

His head throbs with pain, and a wave of nausea rises in his stomach. The figure staggers and leans against the nearby lamppost, feeling dizzy in his head.

"Sir, do you need help?"

A security officer approaches him. But the figure does not respond, still leaning against the lamppost. The shattered memories seem to be assaulting his brain like fragments from a past life, causing excruciating pain as if there are two siege hammers pounding on his temples.

"Sir?"

The security officer reaches out and touches his shoulder.

Then, in that instant, the security officer's pupils contract, and he freezes as if being electrocuted, his body stiffening and starting to convulse.

The moment of contact, he feels all the strength in his body disappearing, and the essence of life pouring into that shoulder.

The security officer's eyes widen in horror, trying hard to retract his arm but finding it impossible. Even the scream of terror is stuck in his throat, and his vocal cords seem to be convulsing in despair.

After what may be the longest second in his life, the security officer completely collapses, like a piece of withered wood drained of moisture. His wrinkled skin clings tightly to his bones, and he falls to the ground, instantly lifeless.

This scene is witnessed by a passerby from an unknown location. The scream attracts attention from the surroundings. The figure turns around and sees the limp security officer on the ground, and feels that someone is taking pictures or filming in his direction.

And he feels it. Fear.

He remembers.

This is a city of fear, it has always been like this. Everyone is always in fear, afraid of the bad economy taking away their livelihoods, afraid of diseases taking away their loved ones' lives, afraid to go out, afraid of encountering misfortune, afraid of being crushed by life.

Too much fear makes the city's nights even darker. Women weep in the corners all day long, fearing that each day might be their last.

"You, stand there and don't move."

Someone calls him back to reality.

The figure turns his head and sees a man in a black trench coat, with a different aura from others. He looks cautious and is talking through his built-in system.

"This is 'Falling Rock,' Sky Eye Sequence B Commissioner. I have discovered an unauthenticated Extraordinary Being that has caused casualties. I am preparing to make contact and control."

The figure looks at him in confusion.

Sky Eye?

This name rings a bell.

He doesn't remember the specific events or any grudges. But he vaguely remembers that this seems to be the enemy.

The figure's eyes gradually become sinister, looking at the Sky Eye Commissioner like a wary beast.

And then he charges.

Quite fast, even among the ranks of Extraordinary Beings, he is definitely not low in sequence. If it weren't for being on guard beforehand, Falling Rock knows that this attack might have succeeded.

But he was prepared. Before the opponent could charge, he suddenly bent down and slapped the ground with his palm.

An extremely simple movement, but it seems to leave a deep imprint on the ground. The empty road seems to respond to this simple slap by trembling and roaring, as if even the air has become unusually heavy with the elements of earth mixed in.

The wall of earth rises from the ground, like a layer of divine iron plate standing in front of Falling Rock. The figure rushes forward like an out-of-control cheetah and crashes into the wall. The earth wall is dented on the outside, but it ultimately cannot be broken through.

With a thought, Falling Rock continues to activate his Extraordinary power. Under his power, the earth continues to change, and the soil rises and surges like rolling waves, enclosing the figure in an impenetrable cage.

Inside, there are two muffled sounds for a moment, sounding like the sound of someone forcefully impacting the cage. But this sturdy cage remains motionless, except for a trace of dust falling, showing no signs of loosening.

Commissioner Falling Rock lets out a light laugh.

This is only natural. He is a Sequence B Extraordinary Being with control over earth elements. Although it seems like ordinary soil is wrapping around the opponent, it is actually a special material formed by his Extraordinary power, even stronger than steel. Without a sufficiently destructive Extraordinary power, it is a pipe dream to break free with just physical strength.

After two impacts, there is soon no movement inside. Falling Rock breathes a sigh of relief and immediately establishes communication.

"It's me. The alarm has been lifted, the out-of-control Extraordinary Being has been brought under control by me." He says, "Yes, it seems that a security officer was drained by him. I need a cleanup team and a medical team here.

Yes, drained, just like several similar incidents that happened last week. It seems we have found the culprit.

Boom.

Another booming sound.

Falling Rock stops speaking and turns his head alertly towards the cage beside him.

This is the cage he specially reinforced, he observed the opponent's power level beforehand, so it should be impossible to break through.

Boom!

Another sound.

Then Falling Rock sees in horror that the earth element cage he constructed collapses.

It collapses inward from a single point, as if being sucked in.

What kind of power is this?There was no room for hesitation anymore. After the second sound, the entire earthen prison had crumbled apart. It was as if some incredibly powerful force from within had destroyed its entire structure, a large amount of collapsing soil and rocks were ground into dust under that tremendous force, continuously being sucked into a certain point in the center.

The next moment, a residual image broke out from within.

With a speed even more exaggerated than before, there was absolutely no time to react. A terrifying palm opened wide, pressing down on the falling rocks.

The Sky Eye agent's eyes were wide open, all his strength along with his Transcendent power seemed to disappear in an instant. He felt like a tightly squeezed sponge, the last drop of water in his body ruthlessly wrung out.

Until he too became like that security officer, thrown to the side.

The figure tossed him aside, taking a long breath.

There were many things he still couldn't remember. But he remembered the most important thing in his cognition.

People live for plunder.

Whether it's wealth or power, if you don't seize it, it will always become someone else's. And those who take away power won't be grateful to you for leaving them the opportunity, they will only use the power they have obtained to the fullest to squeeze you dry.

Either plunder or lose. Living must follow this rule.

Once again, the image of a woman surfaced in his mind.

Helpless, powerless, having lost everything, she could only sob in a corner.

Thinking of this, his face hardened like iron.

He would never again be the one being plundered.
