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 112 - Beatdown

Point-of-View: Aurora Pretorius

———————————————————————————

I knew...I knew that my plan was naive and idealistic. I already knew that, I didn't need everyone telling me so. But...I really thought that, with my power, I could reach those naive ideals and resolve this without any further bloodshed.

Yeah, those men killed two Werewolf children, there's no denying that, but...they were victims of this situation too. The village had also had two children murdered, all they wanted to avenge them and make sure it didn't happen again.

They were being manipulated. They didn't deserve to die. But I...I can't blame the Werewolves for choosing to kill them. Their anger was more than justified. Even so...was this really the best outcome we could have hoped for?

Were my efforts futile from the very start? Was I just wasting my and everyone else's time with my actions?

"Hey, snap out of it...we're almost back at the village," Remarked Inoka, giving me a slight nudge.
