Chapter 7 - History

Two months later...

"You can't condemn him! He didn't do anything wrong!" cried Xiaolin, hugging her child.

"Shut up, witch! This baby is an abomination!" cried several people in the crowd.

"Maybe it's the sign of God! He is sending us this baby to tell us a prophecy!" cried a priest hopefully.

The crowd chanted, divided between paranoid fear, fascination and repulsion.

Xiaolin was crying, hugging the baby she had named Lin ling.

"My child is not a monster, he is special.... He has something that sets him apart from other humans,"

Such were the thoughts of her whom the annals of heroic history will remember as the mother of quirks.

....

Then, as a contagion, people began to manifest power all over the world..... From simply creating Ice to transforming into an animal, most humans now possessed superpowers.

There were dozens of theories that tried to explain this phenomenon....

There was then what historians call the fracture, the altered humans and the unaltered humans waged a war against each other.

At that time, only 20% of the world's population was affected by this phenomenon.

So there was a kind of segregation against these people.

...

Our white-haired protagonist snapped his fingers and reality folded into several sequences that followed one another at an astounding speed with a sound of a scratched floppy disk in the background.

He arrived at the scene that really interested him.

Harvard University. Speech by scientist Carl Fung called "Human evolution, what was fiction has become reality"

"Humanity has just taken an important step in its evolution, the origin of its superpowers is still a mystery but it makes us understand one thing: there are no more borders, we are no longer human, we are superhuman!"

It was the scientist Carl Fung who called these powers: Quirks.

....

40 years later, A descendant of Xiaolin married a prominent businessman called Kai Shigaraki.

She had two children... Zen and yoichi.

Zen shigaraki was going to be the one the world would call All fo one... But for now, he was a cold and unsympathetic 5-year-old boy, in total contrast to his brother, yoichi.....

It was also at this time that the first villains appeared, using their power to wreak havoc.

The first heroes who were called vigilantes rose up against them.

Among his vigilantes, one woman will stand out as the heroic reference...

She was called paragon, the vigilante of light.

Her real name was Togame yagi....

....

But one day.....

Humanity has known the greatest villain ever known...

An almost divine threat...

Where did it come from?

There was no reason for that.... But his arrival threatened to destroy the earth, existence, the story itself...

"That's where I come in, I guess," says the white-haired man, playing with his coin.

........

"Stand up my friends, we will win!" cried a beautiful blonde woman in armor.

The cameras were filming, the humans who had survived the annihilation caused by this villain watched with eyes misted with tears of hope and visceral fear.

The woman was extremely wounded, her gold and silver armor tinged red. She stood on her spear, tottering.

"We won't let you destroy humanity, Mandrak!" she cried, pointing her spear at the half-human, half-vampire creature, its body emaciated and zombified.

The creature simply raised its hand and thousands of entire buildings were razed to the ground as if they had never existed.

"You don't realize that Mandrak is just playing with you. Soon Mandrak will suck the blood of this universe to the last drop," the creature said with an extremely disturbing smile that made Paragon's blood run cold.

Togame yagi held on despite the tears that came to his eyes.

"So this is how it's all going to end?" she said to herself with infinite sadness.

Mandrak stepped forward, preparing for his final attack.

Humanity sobbed, waiting for its inevitable end.

But it was in the most total despair that the being came who was going to turn everything upside down.

And what marked his arrival was a snap of the fingers....

Reality was distorted at breakneck speed.

It was like a screen exploding.....

The faces became smoother, the reliefs took on a cinematic and striking aspect. Reality was remodeled by computer-generated image with an ultra-realistic 3D....

A CGI cinematic.....

"What's going on? Why am I like this?" Togame wondered as she watched this change in animation.

She looked at herself, understanding nothing.

"You can rest now, I'm here" says a male voice.

Togame turned around, dazed.

"Who... Who are you?" she asked in a trembling voice.

Mandrak narrowed his eyes at the white-haired man. The strands of his hair were like perfect polygons and shone, like the animation around him.

"Me? I'm a hero," the white-haired man replied with a serene smile at Togame.

"But... I don't know you!" cried Paragon, trying to stand.

"Rest my little one, I'll take care of the rest" he says kindly.

The whole world was speechless by this apparition.

But this unknown man gave hope to everyone....

Togam looked at the man with shining eyes....

"Won, please" she whispered.

"Do you think you'll do anything against Mandrak?" the creature asked with a sadistic smile.

The white-haired hero smiled and put his hands in the pockets of his white and red suit...

"I'm waiting for you so what are you waiting for?" the man asked with an arrogant smile.

The arrogance of someone who knows that he will win without any difficulty.....
