The Outliers - Evolution to the World's Strongest

In a world where, unbeknownst to most of Earth's population, people with special powers exist, known as Meta-Humans. Such people belong to one of two opposing organizations. The first, known as Harmony, aims to coexist with regular society and protect them from superhuman or supernatural threats while remaining in the shadows. The second, known as Eden, aims to overthrow regular human society and establish a world where the super-powered reign supreme. These two opposing sides have been fighting for centuries, with countless conflicts scattered throughout history. The power balance between the two had remained even for a long time, and in order to tip the scales in their favor, Harmony began a certain project...the creation of nine orbs made using pure, natural power, known as Meta-Orbs. These orbs can grant a person unimaginable power, but right as the creation of these objects is completed, a conflict results in all nine Meta-Orbs being scattered throughout the world...and anyone who comes across them will gain immense power, even normal humans, therefore giving rise to the world's first unnatural Meta-Humans. And so, this ensues a vicious scramble between Eden and Harmony, as both sides look to find the people that come across the Meta-Orbs and take them into custody. These artificially-induced unnatural Meta-Humans are labeled as 'Outliers', and in the span of a few days, all of them have their lives irreversibly changed. Whether this change is for the better or worse, remains to be seen...

Chapter 111 - Manipulation

Point-of-View: Kechik Lee

———————————————————————————

Aaand, they're gone. Tch...I'm really pissed off right now, it feels like they're treating me like I'm dead weight or something.

"What a scary look on your face that is...aw, does the poor little Meta-Human feel like the odd one out?" Inquired Beelzebub with an amused smirk.

"Quiet. I'm not in the mood to deal with your crap, Demon," I growled in response.

"I'm just saying, they could've left one of the healers behind and taken you, why would they need two healers, after all?" He pointed out objectively.

"Stop trying to manipulate me."

"Can't do. It's just my nature. I'm the Demon of the Sin of Gluttony, after all...and I am quite gluttonous when it comes to feeding on negative human emotions. Manipulating others often yields intriguing results and a wide range of potential emotions, that's all there is to it.
