Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

Next, continue browsing to the 4th to 6th, who are also the other primordial apostles.

The seventh-ranked 'Homelander John' is a muscular, blond man with perfectly sculpted muscles, light blue eyes, and an imposing appearance that naturally exudes a dictatorial and domineering aura. His subtle smile is somewhat sinister, and he is draped in a cape with the American flag and sportes a striking slicked-back hairstyle.

"he...?"

Jiang Mo felt that the figure looked familiar. After a moment's thought, he remembered that this was the most powerful artificial superhero under the command of the overseas force he had wiped out—Vought.

This person did not appear during the North Cole campaign, and when the Dharma Body went to their headquarters to wipe them out, no trace of this person was found. Now, not only is he alive, but he also seems to be extremely powerful.

Unlike other Awakened Ones, he was the product of a genetic modification project at the Vought International laboratory.

From its birth, it possessed power that ordinary people could not match. As it grew older, it became stronger and stronger, ranking among the top even in the magnificent era of the evolution of billions of people.

The eighth is Dean, a wandering monk from the United States. He is unkempt, has a rugged face, and does not belong to any faction. Judging from the picture alone, he is no different from some homeless people commonly seen on the streets of America.

The ninth is Lu Jin of the Sanyi Sect. There are very few records about him on the dark web, only that he cultivated the 'Reverse Life Triple Level' and was not an evolved being with awakened superpowers.

Upon seeing this, gazing at the image that was all too familiar, Jiang Mo paused, a relieved smile spreading across his lips.

The little follower who used to follow him around has now become capable of standing on his own after many years. How could he, as his teacher, not feel proud?

On the left side of Lu Jin's profile, there was a poll with 30% of users who believed that he might have benefited from the influence of his seniors in the sect, and that his actual strength might not have reached the level of the top ten.

Jiang ignored this as if it were nothing, based on his understanding of the strength of a Level 4 Awakened.

Apart from Elvis, who is at level 5, none of the other top ten awakened individuals overseas are necessarily a match for Lu Jin.

If this kid had been more ambitious and broken through to the second level of the Profound Fate Realm, he would definitely have been qualified to hold the No.2 position. Unfortunately, time has passed and he has been bound by family ties, so he has ultimately been a few steps behind.

The remaining No. 10 is 'Necromancer Muller' from Europe, the leader of 'Winter Storm,' one of the world's largest rebel forces. He has fought against Britain and Germany without being defeated, and is unfathomable. He has hundreds of thousands of awakened followers.

His special ability is that he can enslave any awakened person he kills, and after being resurrected, they will have a certain percentage of their former strength.

Soon, Jiang Mo finished reading the information on the top 10 strongest individuals.

In his view, this ranking is highly inaccurate. Among the hundreds of millions of awakened individuals worldwide, some are exceptionally talented but operate discreetly, perhaps developing quietly within the crowd. The dark web cannot compile such a massive and chaotic dataset, and can only filter out the most prominent awakened individuals on the surface.

In fact, he knew that since the beginning of human civilization 6000 years ago, different countries have accumulated different cultivation systems and foundations. Even though he was now standing at the absolute peak that no predecessor of the Sanyi Sect had ever reached, he also believed that there must be beings in China and overseas, in those remote mountainous areas or in bustling cities, who were no less than him, or even stronger than him.

He initially had high expectations for the list on the dark web, hoping to witness the vastness of this world and see seekers who were stronger and more amazing than himself. However, he was disappointed to find that it was full of juniors who had used drugs and forced themselves to grow too fast.

Soon...

Soon...

Jiang Mo still had enough patience to wait. He knew that a crazy era was approaching, and the appearance of the awakened ones was just the prelude.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour later, Jiang Mo had basically scanned all the top ten most popular posts on the dark web. Most of them were about the battles between various countries and rebel forces, while some were about the newly born Level 4 Awakeners around the world.

Finally, just as he was about to put down his tablet and have some tea to relax, a message in the corner of the screen caught his attention.

"A nuclear leak has occurred on an island in Japan, polluting the sea and causing biological mutations, which began 20 years ago!"

"?"

Jiang Mo's left hand, which had just reached for the teacup, paused slightly. His gaze suddenly sharpened, and a series of guesses flashed through his mind. He instinctively clicked on the post that was almost submerged in the trending list.

The poster recounts that he is a Level 3 Awakened in the United States. While carrying out a mission for his organization, he encountered some terrible creatures while passing through the waters off Japan and almost lost his life on the spot.

To prove his claims, he even uploaded a high-definition video.

Unlike the sensationalist gimmicks fabricated by monsters and demons in the past, his video could be heard with the roar of a monster that tore the heavens and the earth apart, causing the sea covered by dark clouds to shake violently and even causing a whirlpool with a diameter of over a thousand meters to collapse downwards. A terrifying atmosphere was spreading silently.

The poster, who was taking the photos, let out a panicked gasp. He looked around as if he sensed a threat and sped across the sea at supersonic speed, trying to avoid the whirlpool and this strange sea area.

"Boom!"

Less than 12 seconds after they escaped, the sea surface suddenly seemed to be blasted open by a cannonball, splashing up waves.

"aaa!! Fuck!!"

A voice filled with fear and anger came from the poster.

The entire shot was flipped upside down. The protagonist narrowly avoided an attack, and only when he regained his footing and stood upright in mid-air was the monster in the distance fully captured on camera.

The creature leaping out of the sea was a rotting, severely deformed fish with a head swollen out of proportion, interlocking fangs in its mouth, and pus-filled, scarlet, and sinister eyes.

"Oh, guys, the smell here is extremely fishy."

“yue.…”

When the poster was taking the photos, he complained that the surrounding environment was extremely smelly and pungent. As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but gag.

"Boom!!"

He was a Level 3 Hurricane Awakener. He raised his hand and unleashed his ability. Dense, blade-like transparent air currents surged forth in an instant, bursting with a sharp trembling sound, and suddenly dismembered the 6-meter-long alien creature into countless pieces.

"Holy shit!!!"

However, in the next second, the poster let out a bloodcurdling scream. Looking down at the sea surface through his tilted video camera, there were countless rotting fish swimming around.

"call out--!"

Without a moment's hesitation, this Level 3 Awakened One, who had strayed into the mysterious sea, fled for his life.

"Boom!"

"Oh!"

The mutated creatures that sensed his movements pursued him relentlessly, numbering in the thousands, and continued to converge from all directions.

"Boom!"

A fierce battle broke out between the two sides, and more and more powerful fish appeared. Those monsters, which were over 10 meters long, had a layer of rock-like armor on their bodies, which could not be cut by wind blades.

They overwhelmed the poster with their sheer numbers, and the poster was forced to flee in disarray. During the incident, the camera shook repeatedly, and the images were completely obscured due to the high-speed movement.

"what!!!"

Accompanied by several screams and hysterical roars, the poster was injured, half of his arm was bitten off, blood splattered on the spot. He became increasingly weak, dared not linger, and fled like a madman, speeding across the sea.

Just as he was about to die, an even larger monster opened its abyss-like maw and charged in, slaughtering and devouring all the more than a thousand deformed creatures that were besieging the poster.

The poster, who narrowly escaped death, only managed to capture a terrifying shadow appearing on the seabed with their camera before becoming so terrified that they fled far away.

The entire video is over ten minutes long, and every frame exudes a sense of oppression.

Jiang Mo patiently read through the photos, and then came several high-definition pictures of the poster's severed arm wound. The flesh and tissue inside were rotten and gruesome, showing that the depletion of life was irreversible.

"Later, I returned to the base alive and received treatment, but there was no way to suppress the poison. Afterwards, my hacker friend told me that the sea area I passed through had experienced a nuclear leak many years ago and had been secretly sealed off."

"He infiltrated a secret agency in Japan and found relevant documents inside, including photos of many mutated creatures."

"Now, that sea area has been designated as a forbidden zone by them, and the root cause of all this is an abandoned nuclear power plant, which has become a breeding ground for monsters and a den of demons. Heaven knows what terrifying things are inside."

The poster's tone was extremely sorrowful, because he had been told by the science doctor in charge of his treatment that his days were numbered, his body was deteriorating, his alien energy was severely depleted, and he was even undergoing mutations. He could only survive for a maximum of 3 days.

For the safety of the other members, several high-ranking officials, mindful of his past achievements, expelled him from the base and left him to fend for himself.

Chapter 375 The world is not peaceful; one wave subsides only for another to rise.

The post has been viewed around 100,000 times. In the past, such a surge in the number of unawakened individuals would have been a momentous event. However, few people seem to care about it now, with only around 300 replies.

Some users recommended that the poster find an auspicious burial site and commit suicide as soon as possible.

This was the best advice he could give as a medical doctor, because based on the changes in the wound infection, it was suspected to be caused by nuclear radiation, and the later the stage, the more painful it would be.

Some users also suggested that the poster should make arrangements for their passing before their life takes a final burst of energy, so as not to leave any regrets, and to take revenge for any wrongs and repay any kindness done to them.

Others gloated and exclaimed that it was good for them to die. They had no obligation to show mercy or comfort to the poster, and they did whatever they wanted without being bound by worldly morality and common sense.

"By the time you see this message, I'll be stuck somewhere with nowhere to go..."

"I exiled myself to the desert, and I witnessed firsthand the disintegration of flesh and blood from the inside out—an unbearable torture, my whole body swollen and aching terribly..."

"My consciousness was blurred, as if I were in a burning furnace, it was extremely agonizing..."

Goodbye, friends.

"Whatever you do, avoid that area of ​​water near Japan. I've drawn the exact location for you. Good luck..."

These comments were all left by the original poster six hours ago, and they were all in English. Jiang Mo clicked to translate and could view all the content.

Especially the last message, which ended with a sudden gunshot.

"boom--!"

Unable to bear the pain, the poster pulled the trigger, pointed it at his head, and chose to commit suicide.

The original poster never reappeared. Instead, a hacker friend of his spoke on his behalf, uploading the stolen Japanese files, which contained clear photos of more than a dozen mutated creatures and various research and analysis data.

“…”

Jiang Mo clicked to view, and the creature that came into view was ugly and ferocious.

Even from distant photographs, even from other species, he, with his Eye of Truth, could vaguely sense that these mutated monsters, with their fierce eyes, harbored a terrible hatred for humanity.

This at least suggests that they are intelligent... a very dangerous signal!

Intelligent animals roam freely in the vast ocean, enjoying abundant natural resources that are even more plentiful than those on land. They are also affected by nuclear radiation, and their evolutionary speed may be even faster than that of humans.

Perhaps in a short period of time, they can rapidly reproduce, fight and evolve, cultivating one terrifying creature after another like raising poisonous insects, until they cover the oceans of the entire globe.

"Did they really cause such a big commotion?"

"If we suffer a backlash, it will be a catastrophe."

Jiang Mo muttered to himself, looking somewhat surprised.

He recalled the video posted by the poster and roughly estimated that the number of deformed fish that attacked exceeded a thousand.

Nearly one-third of these creatures have a layer of petrified skin embedded in their bodies, making them difficult to move even with the killing moves of a Level 3 Awakened. Their strength is by no means weak, and under such circumstances, their brains must also be fully developed, possessing intelligence close to, or even no less than, that of humans.

Especially the enormous black shadow at the end of the video, which casually hunted and killed numerous ten-meter-long rotting monster fish as food, its size could be hundreds of meters long. The strength it displayed was conservatively estimated to be that of a level 4 or 5 awakened being.

If there are dozens of these, swimming around the waters of Japan, given their hatred for humans, they will probably attack the land sooner or later and sink the four islands that are linked together.

However, Jiang Mo didn't care too much. The nuclear leak was Japan's own fault, and it was only natural that they would be retaliated against by these mutated creatures.

Moreover, in his view, this is an inevitable stage in the development of human civilization, as humans naturally have irreconcilable contradictions with other species.

Nature creates all things to nourish humankind, and humankind takes from all things to satisfy their selfish desires. Countless species are hunted, slaughtered, domesticated, and enslaved using swords, firearms, and other weapons.

After countless millennia of evolution, humanity emerged from dark, damp caves, gradually ascended to the top of the food chain, established its own civilization, and began its era of global dominance.

Along the way, animals, plants, and minerals were merely resources they could utilize.

Now that other natural species are also embarking on the path of evolution, interspecies wars are inevitable.

It's just a matter of you killing me and me killing you, following the natural law of survival of the fittest, which is fair. As for whether humans can defend their position as the dominant species in the food chain, that depends on how strong their fists are.

It is tough enough to continue to rule over this vast land and sea, treating all living beings as fish on a chopping board, to be slaughtered at will.

If it's not tough enough, then there will be heavy casualties, the collapse of civilization, and it will become a bubble that vanishes in the long river of time.

Jiang Mo copied the link to the post and forwarded it to Yu Huai, leaving a message telling him to pay more attention to the safety of coastal waters.

About 20 minutes later, new information arrived.

"Okay, I'll take a closer look later, Uncle-Master, don't worry."

Afterwards, Jiang Mo continued browsing the dark web, looking for news posts at the bottom of the trending list.

Soon, he discovered another unexpected piece of news: a post published just two hours earlier was gaining popularity.

"A biohazard has broken out in a certain part of Europe. An unknown virus is spreading throughout a city with hundreds of thousands of people. It is suspected to be the work of high-level rebels who are maliciously spreading the virus. A large number of local people have been infected, including some low-level awakened individuals. Special superpowered combat teams have been sent to eliminate it."

The photos posted by the poster showed only zombie-like citizens.

The less decayed the creature, the faster it moves, activating all the power of its body and using it without limit. It is as agile as a wild beast hunting for prey, pouncing on and biting any living thing.

Zombies that are severely decomposed have difficulty walking, with missing limbs, either walking unsteadily or struggling to crawl on the ground.

The poster revealed that one Level 4 Awakener and 29 Level 3 Awakeners went to the city to investigate, but encountered some trouble. Some Level 2 and 3 local Awakeners who were accidentally bitten in the city showed strength several times greater than ordinary beings of the same level.

Led by a Level 4 Awakened, the team was incredibly powerful and encountered no obstacles along the way. Following the clues, they discovered that it was the work of a certain Awakened faction.

They are wary of the promotion of the superpower lock, and because a similar force to them was recently wiped out by the Security Council, they went on a rampage, using the R5 virus they developed as a threat to demand that the other side suspend the introduction of the superpower lock and provide them with some space to survive.

Rejected.

Another dramatic change occurred. The Level 4 Awakened leader was ambushed by several powerful individuals of the same level around the city and was unfortunately defeated. All the Level 3 Awakened, including him, were infected with the virus and completely lost control, becoming new monsters.

The poster's identity is questionable; he is neither a British official nor affiliated with any rebel forces, yet he has made this shocking news public.

"What exactly is a Level 4 Awakened being who has undergone zombification?"
