He wasn't the only one shocked; countless others were too.
An office worker was holding a cup of coffee, scrolling through videos, intending to take a few sips to refresh herself before continuing to work overtime. However, the content on her phone made her forget to put down the cup, and she just stood there holding it blankly.
Someone was sitting on the toilet, so engrossed in the live stream that they forgot to do their job.
Even some people who were at work were urged to watch today's news broadcast.
"Family members, wasn't that a brilliant move?"
"I'm grinning," said the host A-Kai.
He has just accomplished the feat of killing three people single-handedly.
My gaze shifted to the bullet comments, and just as I was about to see the screen full of "666," I discovered that the bullet comments were far fewer than usual.
Moreover, the remaining comments were all similar.
"Guys, stop watching the live stream and go watch today's news! Something terrible has happened!!"
'Exactly, streamers shouldn't even bother streaming anymore. What's the point of streaming now?'
"News broadcast? What's so interesting about that?" A-Kai frowned. If he liked watching that kind of stuff, he wouldn't be broadcasting live here.
"Just go look when I tell you to, stop talking nonsense! I didn't come here from the history to ask you questions!" a level 43 fan cursed.
Below, everyone joined in the cursing and told him to watch the news broadcast.
"Exactly, stop spouting so much nonsense!"
Seeing this, the streamer A-Kai could only beg for mercy:
"Okay, okay, I'll go check it out right now, alright!"
As he spoke, he closed the game and then opened a short video platform on his computer.
He didn't need to search for it; the first thing he saw upon entering was a news broadcast.
"Currently, China has established a comprehensive early warning and defense system for Calamity Beast."
" Supervision Bureau have been established in all provinces and cities across the country to handle matters related to the Calamity Beast..."
"It should be noted that the danger levels of the Calamity Beast vary greatly."
"The weakest recorded Calamity Beast is roughly equivalent to the threat level of an armed adult, while the strongest..."
The scene shifts to a charred island with a massive crater in the center, over a kilometer in diameter.
The announcer, with a serious expression, said in a deep voice:
"... capable of surviving a nuclear strike."
Therefore, the national emergency management department reminds all citizens: if you discover any signs of suspected Calamity Beast activity, please call the police immediately and do not approach the animal without authorization...
As the news broadcast continued, anchor A-Kai roughly understood what the news was about.
His mouth was agape, and he stared blankly at the contents of the computer screen.
After a long while, he came to his senses and quickly looked at the camera to ask.
"No way, what the hell is this? Is it for real?!"
He quickly received a reply from the chat room.
'Of course it's true, would a news report lie to you?'
"But, this..."
Anchor A-Kai opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say, so he could only turn his attention back to the live news broadcast.
During the live stream, the comments scrolled down at lightning speed.
' The Supervision Bureau? I think I've seen it somewhere in our city. I originally thought it was in charge of corruption, but it turns out it's in charge of this?'
'Can it withstand a nuclear bomb? Can you stop being so unbelievable? Wait, you said earlier that humans can also absorb Origin Power? Looks like my time is about to begin!'
All eyes are on me! I'm announcing something—I'm a piece of trash!
' Calamity Beast? A special Supervision Bureau handles Calamity Beast incidents? I think I've seen them before. I saw them when our factory was shut down...'
'No. 199, Golden Grain Avenue, Autumn Leaf District, Lancang City, Maple Forest Province. Has any Calamity Beast come here for a stroll? I'd like to take a couple of days off!'
'No, it started in 2012, why have you kept it from us until now? Aren't we human? Don't we have the right to know?'
'It's finally been announced! It should have been announced sooner; so many people have already died fighting the Calamity Beast!'
The comments section was filled with a chaotic mix of voices.
Some were worried about the future, some were excited about it, and some were angry that the government was keeping this a secret...
But none of this prevents one thing from happening: they have gradually begun to believe in and accept this fact.
Regardless of what people online are thinking, the news broadcast continues.
"Given the possibility of a large-scale invasion from the Ruins Realm at any time, the highest decision-making body of the nation has made a decision."
Starting today, the Origin Power Perception course will be available.
"If needed, it can be obtained from the headquarters account of the Supervision Bureau of each platform."
"It should be noted that due to the insufficient concentration of Origin Power in the air, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to perceive Origin Power. Please..."
"They released more than I expected." Shen Heng calmly stared at the television on the wall. "They even showed footage of Seventh Tier Calamity Beast."
"It's probably to make more people realize the seriousness of the situation. After all, if it's just about the invasion of the Ruins Realm, but there aren't many changes in actual life, many people will gradually become complacent." Wang Hai looked at the television with a solemn expression.
Shen Heng nodded. Although many people would gradually become complacent because their lives hadn't changed, witnessing the aftermath of a nuclear bomb's destruction would at least delay them for a little longer.
"Won't this cause social unrest?" Han Ling frowned, expressing her concerns.
"Some people will think the world is going to end, and then they'll find themselves with superhuman powers, which might lead them to do bad things."
"No, this is the most convenient time." Shen Heng looked at Han Ling.
"If the Ruins Realm launches a large-scale invasion later, and we have to divert our attention to dealing with them, that will be the real problem."
"And headquarters is not unprepared to deal with it."
Hearing this, Han Ling could only nod.
While their concerns were only slight, the internet was already in an uproar.
'Wow, Origin Power Perception course? They just released it like that? I thought there would be some kind of selection process.'
'Me too, but now that I've been released, does that mean I can cultivate now?'
'I just tried it, and I didn't sense anything!'
"Cultivation my foot! Didn't you hear what the announcer just said? Sensing the Origin Power in the air is extremely difficult right now. I reckon the number of people who can sense Origin Power is about as small as winning a few thousand dollars in the lottery!"
Opinions are divided online, but news broadcasts continue in an orderly manner.
At that moment, a new organization was being introduced on the news broadcast.
The announcer looked at everyone with a serious expression.
"Subsequently, Martial Arts Association will be established in various regions."
"The association's president will temporarily be the director of the local Supervision Bureau."
"The Grand Master will be Jiang Xingwei, currently the strongest martial artist in our country and the holder of the S-Class ability, Command Thunder."
The scene shifts to a short-haired man in black with a cold and stern expression.
The announcer continued:
"Anyone who senses the Origin Power can register at the Martial Arts Association Martial Arts Association, which will provide subsequent training..."
