The way the superhumans of that world had acted.
Was simply too excessive.
If there had been no outside intervention.
The superhumans would have gradually become dominant, and the law of the jungle would have overridden the original rules.
If that were all, it would not have led to humanity's extinction.
But who told them to start conducting human experiments, even intending to mass-produce superhumans directly?
The Aberration Association was quite familiar with this sort of thing—not because they had done it themselves, but because the Aberration Association had visited so many worlds and witnessed the course of so many worlds.
There were always worlds that had no Weird phenomena yet still destroyed themselves.
One recorded world was particularly worth mentioning. Its people conducted experiments and developed a drug capable of evolving human genes.
However, its success rate was extremely low, while its mortality rate was as high as ninety-nine percent.
The sole successful case, that evolved human, also failed to endure the subsequent side effects and died suddenly a few months later.
Yet the data the evolved human displayed during those few months had made everyone green with envy.
His muscles had been enhanced fifteenfold. Both his speed and strength had shattered the limits of the human body, and he could break world records with ease.
He had also gained the ability to control metal. Although he could only manipulate a few dozen grams of metal, experiments showed that this was not his limit.
Before that evolved human died suddenly, he had already been able to control half a kilogram of metal.
If he had continued evolving, they would undoubtedly have created a real-world, weakened version of Magneto.
And that would have been enough.
What caused the evolved human's sudden death was that the energy he consumed could not
