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 80 - The Higher Ups

Point-of-View: Inoka Fonseka

———————————————————————————

Looks like I'm the first one back, huh. Well, considering that I had Neo's portals to rely on while the others had to use regular modes of travel, like a bunch of normie peasants, that's not exactly surprising, I suppose.

A few hours had passed since we got back, Neo had gone to report what happened to the higher ups, and I was just lazing about in my room.

Still, though...that was a seriously rough mission, mentally speaking, anyway. And having experienced that, my whole perspective of Harmony has changed now, as has my understanding of Meta-Human society in general.

Neo had seemed kinda cold at the start of our mission, but now I see that he was just trying to put on a brave front, it was pretty obvious now that I look back on it.

And you know what, in a fucked up way, I do kinda understand why this mission was necessary, or rather, I can understand Harmony's perspective on it.
