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 138 - Relocation

Point-of-View: Neo Cronje

———————————————————————————

This is a huge pain...in the aftermath of yesterday's battle, the UN and Sri Lankan government contacted Harmony and asked us to give a press conference to explain what happened, in order to help ease any tensions amongst the general public.

For some reason, they decided to hold the press conference in front of the Lotus Tower, of all places. The bodies had been removed and the blood and guts had been cleaned up, but still, the scent of death was still pretty fresh here. Seems just a little bit messed up to hold it here, if you ask me.

I'd managed to answer all of the reporters' questions so far, and it looked like the interview was finally about to wrap up, much to my relief. After this, I'm heading right back home and going to sleep for an indefinite amount of time.

Seriously, why is it always me who has to represent Harmony in these things!? There are plenty of others who could do it in my place, after all.
