“A large-scaled collapse of buildings has occurred in the 5th domain. It is suspected to be an attack by Authority Holders, the 5th domain’s D.E.R division has refused to comment on this matter” a reporter was delivering the news as they stood in front of a collapsed building.

“Is the D.E.R division really protecting people, or are they acting as accomplices for those monsters?” the scene on TV changed to a public interview with various bystanders.

“They’re all monsters, monsters that can only bring about disasters!”

“I think they belong in mental hospitals or prisons”

“All of their crimes are judged under the D.E.R division’s jurisdiction, even the verdict is only reported on paper, we wouldn’t know even if they moved somewhere else and changed addresses”

“We want the list of Authority Holders to be open to the public. They’re all dangerous psychopaths, we don’t want to live in the same area as these psychopaths!”

In some areas, the people had even resorted to parading in protest, leading to the rift between Authority Holders and normal people to become a step larger.

There were many issues with this. First of all, like they said, Authority Holders were certainly dangerous, even an Authority of the lowest grade A could easily kill another person using their Disasforce.

A Disaster Authority was like a gun, imagine if a person happened to always carry a gun with them but weren’t educated or trained to use such a thing. Even worse, Authority Holders weren’t unique in any other way, they were still people with dark emotions like pain and anger, so the fact that they had an Authority only made it easier for them to have violent thoughts.

And even more importantly, an Authority Holder was usually judged with a level of partiality whenever they committed a crime, creating an illusion that Authority Holders were first-class citizens while normal people were second-class.

Quite a few Authority Holders had indeed led to terrible levels of destruction as they gained their Authorities.

On the other hand, there was also the issue of envy. In a world with supernatural powers, unless they went through certain experiences, who wouldn’t wish that they had superpowers? But there were only so many Disaster Authorities to go around, which meant there were only so many Authority Holders. Compared to the number of normal people, the amount of Authority Holders was pathetically little.

This led to the envy of people who didn’t have an Authority, an extreme amount of envy, in fact. There had never been any complaints about having too much, only too little, so people question why would other people have these abilities while they didn’t.

Under the mentality of undermining what they could not obtain, the public would intentionally, or unintentionally, belittle Authority Holders.

Especially with the recent turmoil where the involvement of Authority Holders could be seen more or less behind the scenes, the sentiment that Authority Holders were monsters was gaining more and more support from the people.

With the large-scaled collapsed building event as the trigger, various anti-Authority Holder advocacy started to become wide-spread.

Some supported the imprisonment of all Authority Holders, going as far as telling them to lobotomize every Authority Holder before giving them a life sentence.

Some demanded that a list of all Authority Holders become public and that they be placed under strict monitoring.

There were also some who suggested that an area should be specifically created to accommodate all Authority Holders, quarantining them thoroughly from normal people, this way, it didn’t matter to them if those monsters fought themselves to death.

Various pseudo-probable as well as completely braindead arguments swiftly spread all over various media, depicting Authority Holders as rats to be beaten on sight in a short period of time.

The D.E.R divisions of the different domains couldn’t really manage this propaganda either, as anything they said could be misinterpreted to fit their own arguments, not to mention how some Authority Holders truly were as dirty as the rumors had claimed.

“Che!” standing on the balcony of a building’s roof, a figure wearing a D.E.R division uniform with a pineapple-like hairdo scoffed and laughed at the various comments on social media platforms and forums on his phone. After closing the website, he dialled a number: “Should be nearly enough already, when are you going to act?”

[Everything is prepared, but you need to be careful, there are quite a few monsters in the 6th domain] the person on the other side of the phone laughed strangely and replied.

“Doesn’t that only make it much better?” the man stood on top of a tall building, his Disasforce constantly drifting from his body without any intentions to hide it. The building beneath his feet started to crack and crumble and slowly collapsed in on itself: “I sure love the feeling of things breaking apart”

“Stop your Authority, Ye Kong” the door to the roof was kicked open as a woman in D.E.R division uniform charged through, pointing her gun at the pineapple head guy: “Surrender, the D.E.R division’s reinforcements are coming, you won’t escape”

“Little Ying” the pineapple head guy turned around, his movements were swift and skillful as if he wasn’t afraid of falling from this height: “Sure enough, you understand me well to be able to find me before anyone else”

“Do you want everything here to collapse as well? So that your past would thoroughly collapse too?” Qin Ying shouted: “You weren’t like this before!”

“The past? Before?” Ye Kong showed a mad grin, a grin so wide that tears were already leaking from the corner of his eyes: “All of that had already broken, but since you’re now here, let us bid one final farewell”

Bang!

The sound of a gunshot, but before that bullet reached Ye Kong, it had already crumbled into tiny round pieces and dissipated without a trace.

The Disasforce of the [Buildings Collapse] Authority had the property of cracking and structural collapse.

“It’s useless, use your Authority, maybe then you’ll actually have a chance to kill me. It was because Li Xuan Ye held back against me that he was killed by me” Ye Kong’s expression twisted, taking off his D.E.R division uniform and threw it on the ground before rushing towards Qin Ying at the end of the stairs.

His Disasforce manifested as tentacles that started to strike at the other party. Those struck by his Disasforce tentacles, due to its collapsing property, would have their bodies immediately crumble and collapse.

Facing him, Qin Ying had a pained expression. Gao Yan, Ye Kong, Li Xuan Ye, and herself used to be colleagues, as well as the closest comrades.

But now, Gao Yan was dead, Ye Kong had gone mad and killed Li Xuan Ye, everything else had also fallen to pieces, giving them no choice but to fight against one another.

Their Disasforce clashed. The two of them were fighting on the roof of this unstable building, their Disasforce weaving and nullifying one another, Ye Kong’s mad grin continued to show: “It’s too little, little Ying, haven’t you noticed just how little you really are?”

Ye Kong’s Disasforce suddenly erupted and increased by an entire level, sending Qin Ying who was facing him flying: “Authority Holders are held back by this society. Only by constantly using your Authority can you continue to gain more and more power”

“Even the strongest of us, Li Xuan Ye died at my hands, you are too weak!!” Ye Kong didn’t hold back at all, covered his feet in Disasforce before he directly kicked Qin Ying’s body, causing her to lose her ability to fight: “Did you know? Before he died, that guy actually begged me to spare you”

During these past few days, Ye Kong had been using his Authority without reserve, quantitatively improving his Disasforce. The building below him began to collapse even faster, causing those who hadn’t managed to run away to scream in horror and fear.

Their team of four used to love to gather here, but all of it was now collapsing under his Authority. As the collapse spread, he looked down at the unconscious Qin Ying, picked up her dropped gun and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

As blood flowed through the cracks of the building, Ye Kong covered his face and let his tears streamed down his cheeks together with his maddening laughter.
