An Earthling hovered roughly three meters above the ground, controlling lightning. It completely overturned Zhang Fan's understanding of humanity.
On closer inspection, he saw that the man was using lightning to destroy houses indiscriminately, unleashing its power on everything nearby to force the others into submission.
As everyone knelt in worship before him, a squad of soldiers led by a general arrived at the village, which had almost been reduced to ruins.
Without a word, the man wielding lightning began attacking the general, while everyone else scattered, desperate to escape the trouble.
Ordinary humans against a man who could control lightning-Zhang Fan believed the lightning-wielding superhuman would surely win.
Yet the result completely defied Zhang Fan's expectations. After three failed frontal assaults, the ordinary humans resorted to assassination tactics and finally hung the lightning wielder's head above the wooden city gate.
Zhang Fan had thought that would be the end of it. To his surprise, the human soldiers began conducting sweeping searches, killing anyone who showed even the slightest sign of supernatural abilities.
"This... did Earth once have people like this too? So humanity's current state wasn't the result of natural evolution? It was engineered? But why would humans do this?"
Zhang Fan flew above the wooden palace and saw a group of humans in fine, embroidered clothes discussing people with supernatural abilities.
Their conclusion sounded all too familiar to Zhang Fan: "Eliminate all who are not of our kind."
Hu Baili suddenly appeared beside Zhang Fan and asked with a smile, "Still observing humans, Overlord?"
"Should we try to change humanity? If this keeps up, why do I feel like humans will eventually be the ones who..."
Zhang Fan continued, "Forget it. How about sending our Lilvara brothers down to try teaching humans to coexist peacefully with unfamiliar races?"
