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 257 - Invasion(Part 23)

Point-of-View: Aurora Pretorius

———————————————————————————

"Th-they really tried to kill me...," Muttered the Demon who'd been leading me to the bridge, a shell-shocked look on his face.

I'd been using my senses to avoid running into any Demons or Devils as much as possible, but as we got closer to the bridge leading back to the living world, it soon became impossible to get any further without running into any of them.

So I changed tactics and decided to head for the bridge in a straight line, regardless of how many obstacles there are. And we ended up running into a pretty large number of Demons.

They tried to kill both me and my guide, and succeeded in killing me once. I then proceeded to destroy them upon resurrection, before they could kill my guide. I've now used up five of my nine lives, meaning I can only resurrect four more times.
