Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1176 The era of great spiritual power begins!
The collapse of the island nation's economy seems inevitable.

With the loss of a large number of people, various industries such as commerce, industry, and tourism have been severely impacted.

Many businesses closed down, unemployment soared, and the country fell into chaos.

Although the island nation's officials tried their best to take measures to save the economy, their efforts seemed to be a drop in the bucket in the face of such a huge disaster.

The prime minister and cabinet ministers held emergency meetings every day to discuss countermeasures, but each meeting was filled with arguments and disagreements.

They know very well that the island nation has reached a critical juncture of life and death, but no one can come up with a practical and effective solution.

The Prime Minister looked at the report in his hand, his face turned pale, and his heart was filled with helplessness and despair.

"It's over, it's completely over."

The Prime Minister muttered to himself, his voice low and trembling.

He looked out the window with empty eyes, as if he saw the doomsday scene of the island country's future.

The cabinet ministers also remained silent, for they knew that what the prime minister said was true.

The island nation has fallen into an abyss from which it cannot extricate itself, and they can only watch it move towards destruction step by step.

However, in this desperate moment, the people of the island nation did not give up hope.

They knew that there was one last source of support - the God on earth.

The night was as dark as ink, gradually engulfing the entire world.

However, the night view of Tokyo is still dazzling, with neon lights flashing colorfully, showing the prosperity and hustle and bustle of this city to the fullest.

On the streets, people were flowing and cars were shuttling back and forth, as if nothing had changed, as if the advent of the extraordinary era had not caused any impact on the city.

But this is just appearance.

Under the protection of the Heavenly Palace Temple, Tokyo has indeed become a pure land.

The magnificent building suspended in the air stands like a mountain in the center of Tokyo, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

Its existence makes it impossible for evil spirits to hide and keeps all monsters away.

People living here can enjoy their daily lives in peace without worrying about being suddenly attacked by monsters and demons.

However, the price of this peace is high.

Prices are skyrocketing. A bottle of drink that costs only 120 yen in other places, even in the countryside, costs 2000 yen here!
Such a price is simply astronomical for ordinary people.

They had to live frugally and budget carefully every day.

On the streets, pedestrians are walking in a hurry, with fatigue and anxiety written all over their faces.

They are like stretched rubber bands that may break at any time.

In this chaotic era, everyone is under tremendous pressure and doesn't know where their future lies.

The successive fall of Tokyo and Kyoto plunged the people of the island nation into unprecedented panic.

A great monster is wreaking havoc in Kyoto, and other places are facing the same threat.

External traffic was blocked and economic flight became a luxury.

The people of the island nation could only helplessly gather under the Tengu Shrine in Tokyo, praying for that rare peace.

Before the advent of the extraordinary, Tokyo was also a place where countless ordinary people pursued their dreams. They came here to work hard with dreams and hopes.

However, reality is often much more cruel than imagined. Most people eventually return to their hometowns with scars and disappointment, continuing the lives of their ancestors.

But now, the situation has changed dramatically.

Those ordinary people who flocked to Tokyo no longer had any way out.

Their hometowns may be deserted, so what can they do if they go back?

Do I have to live in fear every day, worrying about being killed by monsters and demons emerging from another world?

This feeling of fear was like an invisible net that enveloped them tightly.

They would rather struggle to survive here, even by cheating, stealing, robbing, and selling, than go back to their hometown which is full of unknowns and dangers.

At the same time, the island country's big capitalists were also secretly making moves.

They are always ready to flee this collapsing country and transfer their wealth and assets abroad.

The foreign tycoons are even more cunning. They use various methods to send people to infiltrate the island country in an attempt to obtain that mysterious and powerful supernatural power.

This situation has put the island nation’s public security into an unprecedented predicament.

They not only have to guard against infiltration and sabotage by external forces, but also have to keep an eye out for internal instability factors.

Their greatest threat is those who turn to crime out of desperation.

The public security forces also seem to be stretched thin in this chaotic situation.

They are busy dealing with various emergencies, from street fights to large-scale riots, from invasions by demons and monsters to fratricide among humans. They seem to be caught in an endless vortex, unable to extricate themselves.

No one knows what tomorrow will bring.

However, in this catastrophe, the island country officials made a surprising decision. They announced the method of becoming a psychic - that is, fighting demons and monsters.

As long as you survive, you have the possibility of awakening your spiritual power and becoming a psychic with extraordinary powers.

This decision was like a shot in the arm, giving those in despair a glimmer of hope.

Once your spiritual power is awakened, you will be able to become a trend-setter and control your own destiny in this chaotic supernatural era of great changes not seen in a thousand years!

"The era of great spiritual power has arrived, and those who cannot keep up with the times will be eliminated!"

This sentence is widely circulated in the island nation and has become a motto in people's hearts. In this era, traditional military weapons have lost their former power.

Those "dog-level" and "wolf-level" monsters may be defeated by ordinary thermal weapons, but once they encounter powerful monsters above the "tiger level", even the most advanced weapons seem powerless.

However, weapons that can threaten "tiger-level" monsters are often accompanied by a huge risk of accidental injuries, which discourages users from using them.

Therefore, the island government chose another path - using the entire nation as a bet and forcibly piling up hundreds and thousands of psychics to fight against demons and monsters.

This decision was undoubtedly full of risks and sacrifices, but at this critical moment of life and death, they had no choice. Therefore, those who were desperate began to bravely stand up and fight a desperate battle with the demons and monsters.

However, the reality is cruel. Often not one person out of a hundred can awaken their spiritual power, and many more people lose their lives in battle.

Those who choose to receive the weakened version of the monster potion produced by Gu Hai Pharmaceutical also face an unknown fate.

Although this potion may allow a person to gain demonic powers, the success rate is not high, and there is a risk of losing control and becoming a monster.
