Water, air, earth, and sunlight, are the catalysts for the growth of all things. In 2276, everything has long since been exhausted, and humanity can only live within cities enclosed by massive defensive walls.
The destruction of the world happened in a single night, greed is the culprit behind all disasters.
—BY：World Destroyer At the beginning of the 21st century, a large number of scientists, theologians, and prophets put forward various theories about the destruction of mankind, such as self-destruction by humans, annihilation by extraterrestrial beings, or natural disasters. However, no one could have predicted that humans would be destroyed in a way that seemed both absurd and ridiculous.

In the mid-21st century, an asteroid flew towards Earth. Humans observed the planet through a super telescope 20 years ago. Subsequently, they contacted the planet using extraterrestrial life exploration robots that had already been launched and discovered new substances. Driven by their thirst for knowledge and exploration, humans began preparations for landing. This planet, which will briefly brush past Earth, will stay outside Earth for thirteen days. Humans must seize this opportunity to discover new substances.
Nations reached a consensus, collaborating by providing each other with funding and technology. Gathering the world's top scientists, they finally succeeded in landing on this planet at the moment of planetary contact, and immediately announced the discovery of many diverse new materials.
With an explosion that could illuminate the entire solar system, planetary orbits were altered, hurtling directly toward Earth.
The instant the Earth was struck by a planetary impact, the energy released successfully altered Earth's orbital path, deviating it by a considerable distance. Fortunately, because the planet itself was composed of special materials, it disintegrated into light and shadow before the energy reached its peak, scattering across the Earth's surface. However, disaster still followed. Two-thirds of the population perished within a decade due to unknown diseases, an all-encompassing dust cloud blocking the sun, freezing air, and barren, decaying land. These natural anomalies transformed the once hospitable Earth into a dead planet. From space, Earth appeared as if it had been taken a small bite out of it.
This impact destroyed human civilization, society, and nations. In such adversity, the resilience and tenacity that humans have developed over millions of years of evolution finally came to the fore. The surviving humans gathered together and, in incredibly difficult circumstances, built isolation barriers.
All of this is thanks to the new materials brought by the planetary impact. Humanity survived once again, and afterward, they divided themselves into cities, each within a vast isolation wall, gradually restoring their ecosystems to allow for human survival and reproduction.
One day, a certain city released a video from several decades ago. Finally, humans understood why that explosion occurred, the one that changed all of humanity.

A short video, recorded on the seventh day of a planetary landing, showed an astronaut, who was later labeled as reckless, carrying a coin, which according to records, was a memento from his girlfriend. The coin accidentally fell from the astronaut's person within the weightless exploration vessel. Due to human error, the coin entered the core of the spacecraft, triggering an explosion. This explosion in turn indirectly caused the explosion of special substances on the planet.
Humanity was destroyed over a coin, and this idiotic astronaut whose name is unknown even to history. The boundless rage, despair, and helplessness that fill the air, this immense sense of disparity, leaves all of humanity both laughing and crying in disbelief.

The Dumbass Destroyer, that's what it said in the 2276 human textbook.
This video is questionable because it's been processed, and as a result, all sorts of conspiracy theories have sprung up. Humans need a reason to vent, and even though this apocalyptic reason seems somewhat silly, it provides that outlet.
In the end, things were left unresolved. The surviving humans were indifferent to how they had been destroyed because they had already forgotten. But many people truly understood that greed was the culprit behind their downfall.

Greed is the source of human progress, but also the root of human sin! The past is gone forever.
Brilliant City, a city built within massive defensive walls. It is called Brilliant City because it was the first human city to utilize planetary unique materials to develop an artificial sun. It is a gigantic city with a population exceeding 30 million.
From afar, the massive ring-shaped city, divided into three levels—upper, middle, and lower—basked in the sunlight. Most of the buildings were three stories high, arranged in a staggered pattern from bottom to top. Except for the areas near the outer wall that couldn't be bathed in sunlight, the entire city resembled a sun in the night, dazzlingly bright.
Click click, a number of light and shadow cameras were flashing non-stop.
Inside a basketball court, amidst a press conference, the 13th Division General Manager of Brilliant City, Lo Ka-fai, smirks with twinkling eyes. His mustache twitches, his cheeks wide and plump, his belly protruding prominently. He is adorned in a white long robe uniform, its buttons straining to contain his ample girth.
I'm feeling so hungry, my stomach is growling. I really want to eat something, especially stinky tofu, or grilled skewers would be nice too, or...

With a cough, Lok Ka-fai smiled.
“Regarding this year’s agricultural reform plan, in order to improve production capacity, the 12th Agricultural Science Conference...”
A loud rumbling echoed from the spotlight, startling the over 100 journalists present. They all turned to look at the stage.
Luo Jiahui hastily took a gulp of water.
"Stinky tofu.... ah, no, the agricultural reform plan, of course, that's what it was called"
Behind her stood a slender figure with a cold expression, wearing glasses and having golden hair combed back in a ponytail. She pushed up her glasses and rubbed her temples. The woman was Michelle, the secretary of the 13th department.
“The Agricultural Reform Plan aims to increase the production of food and meat this year. An agricultural experimental base will be established in the restricted area.”
The reporters in the room stared at the stage with terrified eyes. Luo Jiahui hurriedly raised his hands, waving them constantly. After quieting down, he let out a groan, and the growling of his hungry stomach could be heard again.
"Alright, alright everyone, there's no need to panic. We'll definitely wait until it's absolutely safe before supplying the middle and upper levels. When the time comes, thank you all for your hard work. Lunch is already prepared, please..."
“Master Administrator, I'm Jean from Department 13. I heard that last month a hotel was damaged in the Mid-Tier City, causing the Congress to pay a large sum of money as compensation and even injuring hundreds of civilians. Is this true”
"This, it's all just nonsense. The Department of 13 is just a miscellaneous department, you..."
Before Luo Jiahui could finish his words, a reporter immediately asked a question.
“What exactly is the 13th Department, and we citizens have the right to know the truth......”
For a moment, the hall descended into chaos as questions flew one after another.
“Have you heard that Gene has abused his power and exploited hundreds of young girls, and that some girls are even pregnant, and that the Congress has covered it all up Is that true”
"It's not just girls; married women have also been involved with him, leading to the breakdown of many families...."
"Is it true that Tian'ai in the entertainment circle is dating Gene"

"Silence!"
A deafening and imposing roar erupted, vanishing the smile from Lok Ka-fai's face and replacing it with fury.
"Ladies and gentlemen, these issues are ultimately the baseless ramblings of citizens. Please trust Parliament. Now is the time for lunch, and I will have to take my leave."
Before the reporters could ask further questions, Lok Ka-wai stood up, turned his head, and walked into the side corridor. Michelle followed behind him.
Paper can't contain fire, and Mr. Jean has been going too far recently.
"No problem, I'll ask later which media outlets those reporters belong to and give them a good warning."
Michelle took off her glasses, and in an instant the liquid-form glasses began to shrink, transforming into a gold corsage the size of a fingernail. She pinned it onto her white uniform.
A knee-length A-line cloak, men's long pants and women's short skirts. The streamlined design has golden trim in several places on the garment, two rows of triangular black buttons, and a red circle on the shoulder with a black "zong" character inside.
“Isn't Gene a little too free”
"Is there I've already given him the power. He solves problems for us, and we only need to clean up his mess when things go wrong. All the dirty and tiring work is on him alone. If things get too bad one day, he'll take the blame for it all. Why wouldn't we do this"
Michelle took off her hair tie, shook her hair loose, and sighed.
"Stinky tofu, stinky tofu...."
>
"Oh, almost forgot to tell you, the stinky tofu was just made this morning and I gave it to Mr. Gene as breakfast."

Loke Ka-fai's eyes widened. With a click, his stomach rumbled and a wave of air caused all the buttons to pop open, scattering them on the floor.
“Where the heck did Gene go”
.........
On the 7th street of 12 ring streets in the center of Brilliant City, it was bustling with noise. A group of people in black uniforms, long robes, wide-brimmed hats, and knee-high leather boots were gathered there. A circular blue emblem with handcuffs on a five-pointed star design was emblazoned on their left chest, right shoulder, and hat brim.
The 5th department, Urban Security Management Department, is commonly known as the police.
"Why do we work Who decided this All of humanity's past is gone. What kind of society are we living in now We are just a herd of pigs raised by those in power. You toil and struggle, only for the benefit of these powerful individuals. What value does such a society hold..."
A tall, imposing man nearly two meters in height stood outside a noodle shop, loudly debating with someone. He had one hand clamped around the neck of a woman, and a black double-headed serpent tattoo adorned his arm. In his other hand, small bumps suddenly appeared.
The policemen surrounding them backed away, one by one taking out a thumbnail-sized brooch from their pockets and tossing it to the ground. In an instant, the thumbnail-sized brooches swelled up, transforming into black shields in less than a second.
With a deafening boom, chunks of black shields rose up, and in the blink of an eye as the burly man waved his hand, a trail of flame shot out, soaring into the sky. The flames drew gasps from the onlookers gathered behind the police officer.
“He’s a mutant.”
One of the new substances brought by planetary impact, humans extracted some beneficial substances from it and successfully extended human lifespan. However, after some people were inoculated with the new substance, some people suddenly mutated, becoming mutants with supernatural powers, just like this big man, but only a small probability.

At this time, there was a reporter in the crowd who was petite, with a cute face and a pair of bright eyes. She was crawling on the ground.
Le Xia, as a rookie reporter who had just joined the Explosive News team, originally wanted to attend the press conference of the upper-level urban management department. However, she didn't even have the qualifications to enter, so she could only wander around the middle level. As a result, she stumbled upon such a once-in-a-lifetime big news.
Le Xia, squeezing through the crowd desperately, immediately held up a hand. A light blue bracelet emitted a slow-moving beam of light, and in an instant, the light began to converge. In less than a second, it transformed into a camera made of light and shadow. She immediately took several rapid photos.
Light and shadow materialize. This new material, extracted from a planet that collided with Earth, has become humanity's greatest invention of the century through research. It successfully uses special materials as a medium to aggregate light and shadow, resulting in the super-science of turning them into physical objects.
“Hahaha, what's wrong, you dogs You afraid to come over”
The big man continued to shout, his right hand raised, the flames burning steadily.
"I'm not playing with you anymore, you dogs."
As the Great Han spoke, he threw the hostage in his hand like a chick towards the police. He took a stride toward the crowd and transformed into a flame, with a boom, he crashed into the police standing behind their shields. Bang! Accompanied by exploding flames, he blasted open a path.
Le Xia widened her eyes, but she still raised the camera and pressed the shutter button.
In the blink of an eye, the big man charged over. The onlookers cried and scattered, only Yue Xiao knelt on the ground, terrified by this sudden change and unable to move. Those policemen who were hit by the flames lay on the ground, groaning in pain.
What should I do, I'm going to die........

"Please give way, miss."
A masculine and magnetic male voice came from behind. Le Xiao turned her head, and her eyes widened in an instant.
The newcomer wore a black uniform, the buttons carelessly unbuttoned. In the sunlight, his white short hair was soft and bright. He was about 1.8 meters tall, with a long and handsome face, a thin white cigarette dangling from his lips, and a well-proportioned physique.
The uniform cap, shoulders, and left chest are adorned with a red swirl pattern, in the center of which is the number 13.
"You little brat, what department are you from If you don't want to die, get out of my way!"
With a loud bang, everyone in the room was stunned. This slightly thin, white-haired man had grabbed the flaming giant by the neck with one hand and slammed him to the ground. The flames immediately extinguished, and the giant foamed at the mouth and fainted.
"Gene, you're from the 13th Division."ng on the ground.Le Xia, as a rookie reporter who had just joined the Explosive News team, originally wanted to attend the press conference of the upper-level urban management department. However, she...
