Chapter 70 The Trend of the Times
“The times are always one step ahead of me.”

Bai Jing, whose magnetic field strength has reached 200,000 horsepower, stopped his pace and looked at the 'sun' being pushed into outer space by Yunian bit by bit, and the brilliance produced by the explosion: "I thought I had kept up with the pace of the times. With a strength of 200,000 horsepower, I am already a strong man in this world."

"Even if I fight Harvey Walker with all my strength, I still have a 30% chance of winning. If I can break through to 250,000 HP during the battle, I will definitely have a 50% chance of winning."

"I didn't expect that such a strong person would appear in the world at a time like this."

Complex thoughts appeared in Bai Jing's mind, and he didn't know what expression he should make for a moment.

happiness?
Yes, Bai Jing is happy about the emergence of a strong man, which means that he has more and stronger opponents, and he will not be invincible until the magnetic field rotation power breaks through.

Even if he is invincible, he will probably have to wait until he possesses the ultimate power to do so.

sad?
Yes, because he knew that the appearance of these powerful people was definitely not a good thing, especially for the humans and civilization on this planet.

In the past, Bai Jing, who was a weak person and died in the aftermath of a battle between strong people, knew clearly how powerless ordinary people were and how desperate the weak were in front of powerful people.

When life is no longer in our own hands and when death can happen at any time, people will collapse and the order of the world will dissipate.

Beautiful things such as kindness and gentleness will disappear from human beings, and evil and madness will continue to appear.

This is what Bai Jing hates and doesn't want to see.

Academy City came into being because of his proposal. He likes things and feelings with order, things that make him feel good, but people with super powers are advancing and appearing at the current speed.
It is okay now that people with super powers are generally still young, but when they grow up, when their powers reach their peak, ambitions and desires emerge in them, the world will inevitably fall into a doomsday scene.

There are more than 20 billion people in the world right now. What will happen in ten years, twenty years, or thirty years?
'What should I do?' Bai Jing did not return to the Academy City immediately, but continued to float in the air with the power of the magnetic field, looking at the explosion above his head that had not dissipated for a long time and fell into thought: 'Do I need to use my power to make this world surrender and make those superpowers understand what to do and what not to do?'

'Or should I just ignore it? Let the times take their course?'

It was two hours later when the 'second light source' in the sky completely disappeared. Bai Jing used the power of the magnetic field to tell Yu Nian to go back and then he stayed there watching the light source disappear.

Watching the remaining sun gradually approach dusk and sunset.
'Perhaps I should be more positive. Even with so many people with special abilities, the world may not necessarily end. In the 128 years of the new era before the world restarted, the world still had order.'

'Superpowers are different from magnetic field power, and everyone's abilities evolve differently.'

'Unlike the [single] magnetic field power, if these super powers can be used reasonably, technology should be able to develop, and perhaps the world and civilization can leave their home planet before the brink of collapse.'

Academy City, this is just an idea that Bai Jing came up with casually, but it may not be the 'answer' now.

Return to Academy City, return to the White Rose Garden.

"Finally he's back--" Seeing Bai Jing return safely, Qiao Xiner still breathed a sigh of relief even though she had known the news a long time ago.

"Where's Yu Nian?"

"She's in seclusion." Qiao Xiner pouted slightly and said, "She seems to have gained something this time and she went into seclusion without even having dinner. What are you going to eat? The chef hasn't left yet, I'll go call them—"

It's called seclusion, but in fact it just means going back to your room, locking the door and hanging a "Do Not Disturb" sign outside. After all, even a super S-level ability user must eat, drink, defecate and urinate like a normal person.

This gave Bai Jing an inspiration——

One of the reasons why people with strong magnetic fields are so unscrupulous is that human civilization can no longer help them. Food? People with strong magnetic fields don't need it.

Clothes? Those with strong magnetic fields don’t need them.

The necessities of human life such as food, clothing, housing and transportation are not "necessary" for those with strong magnetic fields. The only value of human existence is to provide "happiness" to those with strong magnetic fields. This happiness can be entertainment works created by humans, performances by humans themselves, or even the feeling of ruling these humans and the feeling of killing these humans.

But it's different for people with super powers. Even an S-level super power user is no different from a human being. He needs food, clothing, shelter, etc. In this situation, no matter how chaotic the super power user is, they must protect some people.

If the world were really destroyed, how would we enjoy the products of human civilization?
'Perhaps the future of the world will not reach that point.'

"No thanks." Bai Jing said, "I don't have much appetite, so forget it."

"But you haven't eaten anything for a few days, right?" Qiao Xin'er, who didn't know that Bai Jing could survive without food or drink, said in surprise: "No matter how strong your body is, it's better to eat well."

"Yeah, that's fine." Without explaining, Bai Jing thought for a moment and nodded: "Then just eat something."

Although he can "not eat", Bai Jing still likes to enjoy all kinds of delicious food. If he wants, he can stimulate his nerves to transmit the signals he knows to his brain, making himself think that he has eaten unprecedented delicacies.

But compared to this method, he prefers to live like an ordinary person, because it gives him a different feeling.

Yu Nian, who had been in seclusion, came out and had dinner with Bai Jing.

Qiao Xiner, who had already eaten, could only sit aside and watch them eat without any appetite. She looked left and right, pouted slightly, and sighed in her heart: "Why did you end your retreat so soon?"

"It won't take too long to sort out what we've just gained." Yu Nian looked at Qiao Xin'er and said, "You are also a person with super powers, so you should know this, right? Once our abilities improve, it's hard to go back. In this case, how could it take me too long?"

"Anyway, it's finally over. We defeated Harvey Walker and killed Nigel. Although Emily's breakthrough was totally unexpected, we still gained something."

"Maybe we can have a celebration banquet tomorrow to celebrate our achievements this time."

"Of course, the most important thing is how to deal with the crisis Emily will bring later..."

When Emily wakes up from her crazy will to survive and truly realizes how strong she is, will she come for revenge? And how will they deal with it?
　PS: I had my wisdom teeth removed two days ago, so I haven’t been in a good condition these days. Ah, of course, these chapters were written before.
　　The situation in these chapters is indeed not very good. I originally wanted to change it, but the subsequent content is still useful, so I thought about it and decided not to change it.

　　The era of super S-class has not actually arrived. Although it was opened, it was closed again.

　　In short, 'Harvey Walker' is still the strongest in the world, until he was defeated by the protagonist.

　　Currently, he has barely entered the Super S level, and his power is relatively weak among those at this level.

　　But actually, he... um, the BOSS has two stages.

　　He failed to defeat Bai Jing, and the subsequent pressure from super-powered people made him make progress, an progress that came at a huge price.

　　It is also from him that the "requirement" to move from defective ability to complete ability begins to emerge.
