Chapter 158 - Mary thought of her eldest son.

None of them were there.

It was this despised mutant who had saved them.

...

Mary thought of her eldest son.

She had given birth to him when she was only twenty years old. She didn't even know who his father was, but she still chose to raise him on her own.

Mother and son lived together for just four short years.

That night, a heavily armed unit broke into her home and forcibly took away her four-year-old child.

If that eldest son were still alive, he would be about the same age as these young people now.

Yes—because he had been playing outside with friends and accidentally awakened his superpower. He was identified as a mutant. The child told his mother, the mother told her brother… and eventually, the information reached the authorities.

Her child had never harmed anyone.

Yet he was taken away.

Stolen.

Mary sobbed as she looked at the battlefield. The city was shrouded in black miasma. Those young men and women stood shoulder to shoulder, using their bodies to form a solid human wall.

On one side was hell.

On the other, the human world.

...

Little Gina was still a child.

She attended an elite private school.

In her memory, her father worked for the country. At that time, she had just started school, and her memories were vague.

That day, her father never came back.

Her mother cried for a long time, then told the lie everyone understood—

Dad had gone far away for work.

Every month, her mother received a large sum of money, enough to send her to the safest aristocratic school.

All these years, her mother told her never to get angry with anyone.

So for many years, she never did.

She even lost part of her personality.

She wore a stiff smile, watching those figures grow farther and farther away, her big eyes filling with tears.

"Waaah!!"

Finally, she couldn't hold it in anymore.

She broke free from the hand holding her and ran toward the crowd!

Through her tear-blurred vision, those backs looked just like the back of her father—someone she could barely remember.

"Dad!!"

"Gina!!"

...

"I'm sorry…"

"I'm sorry…"

The child's heart-rending cries pierced straight through everyone's hearts.

In the crowd, someone subconsciously whispered an apology. That single sentence spread instantly.

It was the true voice of everyone's heart.

People stopped and stared at the figures still advancing, growing more distant with every step.

"Bzzzz—!!"

Suddenly, a deep, shocking roar echoed from above, stealing everyone's breath away.

They looked up—

"Oh my God… what is that?"

"God, is that some kind of mythical fish monster?! That's impossible—I don't believe it!"

"Is it an alien creature?"

Just as people had begun to calm down, their hearts started pounding again.

Were aliens really this powerful?

Had everything before only been cannon fodder?

Was this colossal monster the real vanguard?

Then what could humans do?

How would the authorities respond?

Would they drop a nuclear bomb on New York?

If they did… would anyone survive?

"Kid, run," an old woman said weakly.

"Everyone evacuate—evacuate now!!" shouted a policeman who had narrowly escaped death.

Once again, the crowd surged eastward.

But in this world, there are always stubborn people.

There are always hot-blooded people.

"If we leave, what about them?!" a Black girl shouted, pointing at the mutants still fighting.

A powerful enemy was coming.

They might even be attacked by their own country.

Were these mutants—who had just saved their lives—supposed to die here?

That question pierced the hearts of those who had just begun to repent.

As humans, who doesn't want to live?

But if you live without humanity, what is the point of living?

Despite despair, some people stayed.

Whether to survive—or to perish.

Everyone was human.

So why couldn't they stand together?

...

The massive creature that emerged from the dark portal slowly advanced toward the city.

Its body alone filled the entire street.

Roads that usually felt wide now seemed impossibly narrow beneath its bulk.

Its fins, sharp as blades, sliced through buildings on both sides. Glass and concrete shattered and rained down.

The damage to buildings was nothing.

When the giant monster reached the mutant frontline, blue light suddenly flashed across its body—

It was carrying an army.

This creature wasn't just destructive on its own.

It was a living transport vessel for alien troops.

"Oh my God… can they really win?"

"God, please protect them!"

"Look—what's that?!"

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

Everyone followed his gaze.

It was a transport aircraft bearing the insignia of Antarctic Military Industries.

The plane roared overhead and dropped more than a dozen supply crates.

Each crate was marked with images of weapons—

Entire boxes of advanced firearms.

It was widely known that after Antarctic Industries acquired Stark Military Industries, its weapons development had skyrocketed.

Could this be—

"What are you standing around for?! Go grab the airdrops!"

"Grab the airdrops?"

A familiar gaming term.

That's right.

Wasn't this just like PUBG?

In the United States, civilians had the legal right to bear arms. For many, using a gun wasn't difficult.

And these weapons had been modified by Antarctic Military Industries, with safety restrictions removed.

"Hurry! Grab a weapon and help them!"

"If you're too scared to fight, then bring the guns to the mutant brothers up front!"

"Go, go, go!"

————————

"This is a breaking news update: Minutes ago, a massive energy beam erupted from Stark Industries Tower, opening a portal in the sky. A large alien force has invaded Earth, and the city has fallen into chaos. Police are currently maintaining evacuation order…"

"But it is the mutants who are saving civilians!"

"Mutants have formed a temporary force to resist the alien invasion. Is it time to change our views on mutants?"

"Oh my God—what is that?! A gigantic monster!"

"Mutants can't possibly stop that—"

"Oh!"

"Oh my God!"

"I see him!"
