Doros's Egg

Ten years or more ago, a group of cultists quietly gathered together and built this underground palace. They all had one purpose: to summon the god Doros and attempt to use the power of time and space to achieve some goal.

Doros lives in a higher-dimensional world that far surpasses human concepts of three-dimensional space. Human spatial thinking cannot even conceive of its specific shape. His followers claim that by worshipping Doros, they can see the past, the future, and all things that travel through different spaces. However, the followers on Earth believe that Doros is a spatial existence far beyond reality.

Once He appears in the world, He will expand infinitely and devour the entire universe. At that time, His followers can gain immortality within Doros and, through Doros's space-time that far exceeds reality, travel back to the past and go to the future.

These believers were not unprepared; they built this underground palace, whose special design allowed for the stability of the surrounding spacetime, giving them ample time to complete the ritual and evolve themselves into higher-level beings adapted to the Daogs.

They built a stone gate, summoned Daogs in the darkness, and confined Daogs's power within it, forming the Daogs Egg. Then they began to study Daogs's power little by little.

The pursuit of the mysterious and unknown always leads to disastrous consequences. Daogs's power exceeded human comprehension. Although the believers held out a little longer due to their extensive preparations, things eventually spiraled out of control for various reasons.

The stone gate could no longer contain the Daogs Egg. The power of Daogs inside began to expand continuously. If left unchecked, Daogs would immediately expand, first covering the City of Sound, then Jing Province, then the entire Yue Kingdom, then the entire Earth, and then spreading to the entire universe.

This thing, if left unchecked, truly possesses world-destroying power. Fortunately, on the day things spiraled out of control, the Countermeasure Bureau arrived. With heavy sacrifices, they temporarily suppressed the Daogs Egg. Old Hu took away the two experimental results of the cult, 001 and 002.

However, the experimental data of those believers disappeared without a trace for various reasons. In order to maintain the seal and suppression, a large number of the Countermeasure Bureau members come here every three years to suppress the stone gate and try to completely remove Daogs from this universe.

In reality, if this universe weren't so unique, with its extreme aversion to higher-level future powers, it would have been virtually impossible to restrain a higher-dimensional being like Daogs simply by relying on the Stone Gate.

Sometimes, the people in the Countermeasure Bureau really don't understand those who want to cause trouble. This universe is dangerous enough. In Jing Province alone, there are three other places with similar situations, as well as all sorts of other problems, big and small. The most famous of these is Leping City, which has already been partially occupied.

Some of those problems can be solved with technology, or even turned into something useful by turning them into tools, while others are outright threats that would cause a disaster if they erupted. The Countermeasure Bureau spends most of its energy dealing with these issues.

And this is just Jing Province. There are countless other things, including the Yue Kingdom, the Nine Provinces, the Western City-State Alliance, and the Northern Iceblood Empire. As one person familiar with the situation said, "This world is like sitting on a giant powder keg. All sorts of people are busy putting out the fires and preventing any of the explosives from detonating, but there are always some immature teenagers who want to play with fire and cause trouble!"

What's most frustrating is that, in order to maintain stability, this kind of thing can't be told to most people. Otherwise, without a stable rear area to maintain, and with personnel and logistical supplies not keeping up, it wouldn't be surprising if this pile of explosives just exploded.

In fact, for most of these incidents, the mere leak of a name is dangerous. We must understand that the will of ordinary people is like a honeycomb briquette; it may appear as a whole, but it is full of holes. Knowing just one name can lure those dangerous beings into becoming their followers, and then they will cause trouble.

The Countermeasure Bureau alone eliminates many members whose minds have been infected every year. Therefore, whenever the Countermeasure Bureau discovers a new member with superpowers, they will rush to their door as soon as possible. If the member has not committed any crimes, they will recruit him; if the member has committed any crimes, they will try to recruit him into the government.

However, due to various interests, even sitting on a pile of explosives, humanity still cannot unite. Due to various propaganda, some people have developed persecution complexes. Once they awaken their superpowers, they immediately feel that the government will do this or that to them. Especially those superhumans who have committed crimes, their first thought is to resist and run away.

Of course, the Countermeasure Bureau only tries to recruit those who can still be saved. Those whose mental state is deemed highly likely to become traitors are imprisoned for life, while those who are VIP test subjects in the laboratory are given a place. The more dangerous ones are simply humanely Destruction.

So looking at the three people shrouded in the distorted barrier in front of him, Xiao Hong felt exhausted. It was one thing for these immature teenagers to play with fire, but these three people were clearly well-organized and had a great understanding of this place; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to create targeted light energy weapons.

"This isn't some immature teenager anymore, this is a terrorist!" Xiao Hong's hand twitched slightly, Wrath blazing in his eyes, and he charged straight towards them. "Since that's the case, then killing them shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Oh no, Xiao Hong is going berserk!" 007 quickly dodged to the side. As the captain of the Special Forces Team of the City of Sound Countermeasure Bureau, Xiao Hong was known for his good temper. It seemed that everyone could laugh at his name, Xiao Hong, and be yelled at by his team members. He was also the captain who did the daily registration procedures, while his team members went to rest. Even the cleaning lady could scold him for a whole morning.

As the saying goes, an honest person's anger is the most terrifying. Only a few veteran members know what Xiao Hong was like when he first came to the Countermeasure Bureau. He was like a humanoid tyrannosaurus, charging forward with terrifying force. With one punch, he punched a hole in the seemingly high-level twisted barrier, and then tore it in two with both hands.

Ignoring the horrified expressions of the three people inside, he unleashed a powerful punch, striking one of the cloaked figures directly. The terrifying force of the blow tore the cloaked man's body into countless fragments, as if struck by a meteor.

However, these three infiltrators were no ordinary individuals. Even though their bodies were reduced to fragments, large amounts of black smoke still billowed out, transforming into chains that bound Xiao Hong: "You go, I'll stop you."

This person's plan was to sacrifice himself to buy time for the others. The other two obviously understood this as well, so they didn't even reply and continued to rush towards the stone gate.

"Seed of Taboo!" The person frantically used some kind of secret technique, squeezing out their own power, hoping to lock Xiao Hong down for a longer period of time, thus buying more time for their companions.

"A futile struggle!" Xiao Hong twisted his body, spinning in place, unleashing a tremendous force that snapped all the black smoke chains...
