It was a very ordinary day.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the stock market still falls, those who should go to school start to make up their homework, those who should go to work start brushing their teeth and washing, everything is very ordinary.

Hiro City, or any other city in the world.

It's all true.

However....

But this daily routine completely collapsed at the moment of twelve o'clock at noon.

...........

The Insect Warrior is a hero who became a well-known superhero after being born in an insect laboratory and awakening a variety of insect abilities.

This identity makes him proud.

But it also bothered him quite a bit.

The pride lies in the fact that he has gained a lot of fans and received a lot of attention, vanity is naturally there, and the trouble lies in....

His private life is somewhat unsecretive.

Superheroes are not his job, and although he has become a superhero, Insect Warrior is a researcher with a passion for studying insects.

On this ordinary day, he originally put on a hood to cover his insect tentacles as usual, and planned to go to the café downstairs of his house, order a cup of warm and mellow coffee, and enjoy the beauty of summer while sorting out the latest experimental reports, and he read the news at the same time.

Then he witnessed a terrifying scene.

All the advertisements placed on the street have been stopped, all the TVs broadcast at home have been tuned to one channel, a video window keeps popping up on the computer when it is turned on, and countless messages have begun to be received on mobile phones.

Including his own personal computer, what kind of experiment report can't be opened at all.

Only one video pop-up keeps popping up.

He wanted to ask other people, but he was surprised to find that except for him, both the clerk and the customers in the coffee shop seemed to have stopped time, and there was no movement.

Immediately afterwards, the computer in front of the insect warrior, the LCD TV that came with the café, and the advertising screen on the high-rise building outside the window.

A figure slowly emerged.

“..... Mayor? ”

The figure of Hiro Mayor Brad made the insect warrior feel a little more at ease, but the strange scene in front of him still made him anxious and uncertain.

At this moment, Brad in all the screens suddenly spoke, and the voices came from all directions, and it seemed that the entire city of Hiro was only his voice.

"Dear citizens of Hiro."

"Valiant superheroes."

"I'm your mayor, Brad."

"Before I speak, I have to show you a video."

..........

Then, a carefully edited video appears in the eyes of the insect warriors, from the familiar Sheriff Aldrich secretly summoning the heroes to the Emperor's Island, to the heroes landing on the Emperor's Island and entering the Emperor's secret base, and then a series of events.

The existence of the emperor's flesh and blood was hidden, and appropriate editing was made, focusing on the helplessness of the heroic team and the death of the hero's "heart messenger".

In the end, the video came to an abrupt end after the magic light put on the ring of the Ten Commandments.

It is also equipped with an incomparably evil and heroic BGM, giving people endless imagination.

The insect warrior himself was even more horrified.

The video was broadcast for more than twenty minutes, but the insect warrior did not feel the passage of time at all, and by the time he came back to his senses, Brad's figure had reappeared.

"I believe that after watching the video, everyone understands, right?"

"That's right."

"Dear superheroes....."

At this moment, Brad's voice in the video suddenly stopped, but around the insect warrior, the clerk of the coffee shop, the guests who were pouring Coke, the passers-by, and everyone around the insect warrior actually turned their heads and said in unison with Brad in the video with a sly smile:

“.... You're done! ”

"From this day onwards!"

"The Emperor will officially reign with the city of Hiro!"

Click!

In the next second, the TV, advertising screen, and computer all fell into a black screen, and the mobile phone also showed a sign of signal disconnection, and the surrounding citizens of Hiro, like robots with power off, all fell to the ground in an instant, leaving only the insect warrior standing in place.

The same thing happens to every superhero.

The city of Hiro has more than one million citizens.

There are nearly 100 superheroes on the register.

Whether it was a public activity or a concealed identity activity, all of them saw this communication, and the city of Hiro, which was originally operating as usual, came to a complete shutdown as all the citizens except superheroes and supercriminals fainted.

..................

"What the hell is going on!"

"Crazy! Lose your marbles! ”

"Aldrich! Can you contact Aldrich!? ”

"No... Gone! ”

"Why did Brad send this message! Is he really the emperor's pawn? Why didn't the heart make it find out in the first place... Ah yes, the heart is dead. ”

"I'm afraid it's not just pawns."

The city of Hiro is completely disconnected, and the superheroes are in danger of losing their means of communication, and just when they are overwhelmed, a new network reappears and sweeps through the city at a speed visible to the naked eye, contacting every superhero.

Similar to Brad's approach, but this time, the Iron Man, Kingfisher, and the Ten Commandments appear on the screen.

At the same time, they are also the "parties" in the video released by Brad.

As the communication was established, all the superheroes who did not know the truth immediately confronted the Iron Man, and in the end, the Ten Commandments stood up.

The Ten Commandments do not say anything about prevarication, nor do they say anything else.

He simply stated a fact:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the moment of life and death in Hiro City has arrived."

"Either rise up and fight."

"Or sit back and wait."

"There is no third way."

For such a simple declaration, some heroes are obviously difficult to accept.

"What the hell is going on!"

"At least tell us the truth, what should we do?"

“.....”

After a little silence, the Ten Commandments gave the answer according to Gu Moli's previous instructions that it was difficult to find a confidant: "The cause of everything is the surprise attack we launched against the [Emperor]. ”

"The true identity of [the Emperor] has been ascertained by us."

"He is the strongest mental ability in Hiro City, mainly reflected in mind control, the heart envoy was manipulated by him Aldridge to kill, and his mind control has spread throughout Hiro City, without killing him, the citizens of Hiro City will not be able to return to normal, as for his plan...."

“..... It is a paradise for criminals who have completely turned the city of Hiro. ”

"Mind control is only the first step."

"We don't know what his next steps are,"

"But we must not let him succeed."

"Tonight, together with the Iron Man, Kingfisher, and our allies outside of Hiro City, I will launch an attack on the city government occupied by the [Emperor]."

"If you want to come, come."

After that, the side of the Ten Commandments took the initiative to cut off the communication.
