In the past, they would have thought someone was joking. Although the Mutated Beasts in reality had been evolving into different forms, things had never become this absurd.
But now, they no longer had the confidence to doubt it.
Whether they wanted to admit it or not, the world was changing far faster than they had imagined. Those unable to adapt to this era would only be eliminated.

Countries unable to keep up with this era had already fallen.
Australia still existed for now, but it had already begun down that path.
"Is there really no other way?"
"I don't want to die."
"I really don't want to die!"
In times of peace, humanity often had countless complaints about the world. But when danger truly arrived and death drew unbearably close, they finally realized how wonderful it was to be alive.
Of course, perhaps they merely feared the pain of death and the process of waiting for it. If they could die painlessly, they might not have remained in this world at all.
But they had no way to enjoy a painless death, so whether it was the latter did not matter.
"Who doesn't want to live?"
"Just wait a little longer."
"The country has already requested aid from other nations. Maybe things will change."
Australia's request for aid from other countries was no secret. Rather, to prevent the public from completely losing hope for the future, they had announced the request in advance before they even knew whether other countries would help.
Huaxia, Lighthouse, Russia, Japan, Sun Never Sets, as well as powerful Espers who had formed their own factions and Shelters, and lone wanderers traveling the roads.
They had invited nearly every force they could.
Australia was currently suffering the most severe disaster.
