The concentration of spiritual energy was already several times higher than when it had first appeared.
At this rate of increase...
In a year, the concentration of spiritual energy would double again.
The experiments they had conducted these past days had not been for nothing. Aside from the countless failed cases and the fact that artificially created superhumans were prone to genetic collapse...
They had also discovered that after spiritual energy appeared, people, animals, plants, and every other thing existing in this world were slowly absorbing the spiritual energy diffused through the air.
But not everyone could absorb it.
Did that sound a little contradictory?
What if "absorb" was changed to "digest"?
Even if some people's bodies absorbed spiritual energy, they could not digest it and turn it into their own power. It would merely accumulate inside them.
Some people might be stimulated by something and suddenly awaken an ability, naturally gaining the ability to use that spiritual energy and transform it into their own spiritual power.
But for others, as it piled up, their bodies could not withstand too much spiritual energy. The meridians, internal organs, and entrails inside them would all be burst apart by it.
Naturally, such a person would not survive.
That was why so many superhumans believed themselves to be the new humans, while ordinary people were the obsolete old humans being eliminated.
Otherwise, without any reason...
Why would they shout such things?
And why did the higher-ups among ordinary people not refute them?
Superhumans did it for their own status, but surely those higher-ups would not refuse to stand with ordinary people, right?
It was precisely because this issue had been discovered during the experiments.
That they had become so desperate to accelerate the experiments, trying to turn themselves into superhumans as well, lest
