The world didn't rest. Not after the Supreme Force descended like meteors and folded an entire battlefield.
Even the strongest Supernovas felt small.
---
POV: NAMI YURO (Hero District — Supernova Rank 42)
Nami's ribs screamed. The crater she lay in steamed like the battlefield itself was alive.
She stared at the sky. The last streaks of the Supreme Force were still landing.
> "Damn… they actually deployed them. Over our fight? We're so cooked."
The earth shuddered again. Commander Rhyx landed. An SSS+ Supernova. Public fights? He hadn't done one in six years.
Lightning crackled involuntarily across Nami's skin. She dragged herself up.
> "We weren't even trying to kill each other…"
"…okay, maybe a little."
---
POV: AZRIEL KANRI (Villain Sector — Supernova Rank 31)
Blood smeared his lips. Adrenaline pumped. Even facing the Supreme Force, he buzzed.
> "Look at them… acting like they're above us."
The Supreme Force formed a semicircle. Twelve silhouettes. Capes fluttered. Eyes glowed unnatural colors.
Rhyx spoke:
> "Article 7 Emergency Enforcement. Cease hostilities or be neutralized."
Azriel smirked.
> Neutralized? Bro, try me.
A black-sun flare spread under his skin. Power coiled around him like a predator.
---
POV: IYANA SHIRASE (Civilian-Supernova Region, S-Class)
She gasped for air, a building skewed sideways behind her. Her Gravity Pulse trembled in tune with her heartbeat.
Seeing the Supreme Force, panic overtook her.
> "We're actually dead. We're so dead. Continent-level threat suppression… that's them."
Around her, heroes, villains, and civilian Supernovas stared at each other like lunatics.
> "??? WHY ARE YOU ALL SO UNHINGED?!" she screamed.
---
POV: COMMANDER RHYX (Supreme Supernova Force)
He studied the glowing, panting teenagers.
Supernovas. 60% of the population. 90% of all problems.
He hated them. The city couldn't handle another clash like this.
He raised a hand. Space folded around his fingers.
> "On your knees."
A gravitational wave tore through the district. Ground cracked. Windows shattered. Dust shot upward like a reverse waterfall.
Half the teens collapsed instantly.
The stubborn ones resisted—trembling violently, bones straining under unworldly pressure.
---
POV: YORU MEIKAN (Hero Sector, Supernova Rank 19)
Bones screaming, Yoru still stood. Barely.
> "Tch… damn old heads. Always flexing."
He anchored himself with shadows. Kneeling now would mean losing face. And villains were watching.
> "Not kneeling. No shot."
---
POV: MISA ROTH (Villain Sector, Supernova Rank 14)
Hair floating, levitating midair. The battlefield crushed beneath her.
Only a few resisted: Azriel, Yoru, Reina, and a random hero kid.
> "Heh. The old man's holding back. Cute."
She formed a blood-red curse seal. Ready to retaliate.
Until—
---
POV: ENTIRE CITY (Flash Scene)
A shockwave tore across the district.
Street signs bent
Alarms blared
Windows shattered
Power lines arced lightning
The Supreme Force moved as one, releasing domain-pressure.
This wasn't suppression.
This was domination.
---
POV: NAMI (again)
Pressure crushed her chest. Vision blurred.
> "This… this is what real monsters feel like…"
Her pride shattered a little. They could erase every teen here in a heartbeat.
And yet…
Commander Rhyx exhaled.
> "We are not here to kill you.
We are here to remind you—
—the world is bigger than your egos."
He signaled the other Commanders.
> "Clean it up. Everyone detained for evaluation."
---
POV: AZRIEL
Glowing cuffs snapped onto his wrists.
He grinned. Eyes burning with danger.
> "You think this stops us?
The real war hasn't even started."
