452. Shadows in the sun

Despite this, the mechanical cyborg has not been able to truly threaten the status of the superpowers.

First, because the number of superpowers is scarce, it is not easy to awaken into superpowers, while mechanical prostheses are relatively easy to obtain, and everyone can do what they can with their own spending power at various prices...... Although the combat power of mechanical prostheses at different price points can be described as vastly different, the cheapest mechanical prosthetic is likely to be used as a "Physics Holy Sword", but it is also a little stronger than bare hands.

And because there are still a few disabled people in this world after all, although the mechanical prosthetic body connected to the flesh and blood may be more convenient to control, but the ordinary mechanical exoskeleton is not much worse than it, plus the existence of the arrow group that focuses on high-end mechanical external armor, resulting in the further scarcity of the presence of mechanical transformers - in the final analysis, in this era, everyone can enjoy the convenience brought by technology, but the "mysterious power" of the superpowers is their own patent.

Moreover, there is still a certain overlap between these two groups to a certain extent - like the kind of superpower who is disabled due to an accident, and is equipped with a mechanical prosthesis, doesn't it become a "super-mechanical transformer"?

Therefore, compared to the incompatibility between the two groups of biocybos and superhumans, the relationship between mechanical cyboids and superpowers has eased too much.

But one thing without a doubt is ...... Due to the rapid development of science and technology, it is difficult for superpowers, who originally had absolute superiority, to control the world situation at will, and although a few bigwigs with "natural disaster-level" strength still have the same role as nuclear deterrence, the world as a whole has entered the stage where a hundred flowers are blooming and a hundred schools of thought are contending.

Against this backdrop, Blackstar and his followers staged an armed coup d'état in Mexico, completely destroying the Mexican government, which was already on the verge of collapse...... This plunged the whole of Mexico into anarchic chaos.

At this time, Blackstar raised his arms and established the "Blackstar City" named after himself on the Gulf Coast, and declared to the world that Blackstar City will never have any laws, and all actions are allowed here...... As long as you can bear the consequences of your actions.

This declaration has undoubtedly attracted the attention of countless criminals and potential criminals, and a real "place outside the law" is what they have always longed for...... However, no one dares to really risk the world's condemnation to be this bird, and the reason is very simple - whether from the perspective of social stability or from the perspective of the vision of the vast majority of people, this is a real "against the sky"!

Despite Blackstar's reputation throughout the Supercriminals, in reality, no one believed that Blackstar City could be built as they wished, and almost everyone, including the Supercriminals who were not members of the Blackstar Society, looked at Blackstar and his followers with a sense of joke, watching how they were exterminated by the "Righteous Masters" of all countries in the world.

However, to everyone's surprise, at the critical juncture when Black Star set out to establish "Black Star City", several superpowers that should have responded quickly fell silent almost at the same moment and invariably, no matter how much the civil protests have boiled, the high-level government officials just did not take any substantive action, let alone "encirclement and suppression", and they did not even bother to do the slightest action to "support justice".

Some people say that there are some dirty deals between Blackstar and the high-ranking governments of various countries, some people say that Blackstar City was originally the result of a compromise between various superpowers, and some people simply believe that Blackstar is actually the spokesperson of several superpowers who have pushed them to the forefront...... Of course, under the different opinions, why the various major powers would tolerate the existence of such a "black zone" as Black Star City has long become an almost unsolvable urban legend, if the parties do not stand up to review the original situation, I am afraid that this will become an unsolved case for the ages.

Of course, at the beginning of the establishment of Black Star City, there were all kinds of righteous superpowers and reformers who wanted to obstruct it, but due to the lack of a unified organization, the loose alliance formed by the "righteous people" was repelled several times by the Black Star Society and the criminals gathered under its command for various reasons, and there were various casualties...... Therefore, in the end, the crusade against "Black Star City" will not end.

Without all kinds of obstacles, Black Star City has also entered a period of rapid development.

Although there is no legal constraint, it leads to the collapse of order in the city and all kinds of chaotic problems...... However, it is surprising that such a place, which is almost destined to be impossible to develop, has grown so savagely because of the lack of rules and regulations—the industry, the gambling industry, the narcotic industry, the drug industry, the arms industry, the Colosseum, the slave trade, and so on...... Everything that a normal person can think of in violation of the law, even something that has been eliminated by history, has been perfectly reproduced here.

After all, this has become a paradise for criminals, and although every resident of Black Star City is living a precarious life, there are still countless people rushing to this "crime capital"!

It is no exaggeration to say that the people who are still in Black Star City, even if they are just unarmed ordinary people, almost all have more or less "sinful" blood in their bodies, and almost all of them have all kinds of criminal records! None of them are completely innocent!

But it is precisely because of this that some people have raised a question - since there are almost no innocent people in Black Star City, why not simply use some weapons of mass destruction and directly wipe them off the world map?

This kind of argument that sounds quite extreme has actually existed since the founding of Black Star City, but after all, no one has really implemented it, and the reason is actually quite simple, that is, there are big and small evils, and they cannot be generalized.

That's right, there are indeed many evil and murderous traitors in Black Star City, and this kind of guy with the blood of innocents on his hands can be said to be inescapable...... However, in addition to this kind of person, the vast majority of the residents in Black Star City are only stealing things and pimping the existence of things, which is really not a crime to death, if it is really mixed up, and it is directly a nuclear bomb, although it is convenient, it is inevitably a little untenable in terms of justice.

However, although all kinds of criticism of the existence of Black Star City have not decreased...... But for some reason, in recent years, the opposition of the people of various countries to Black Star City seems to be getting smaller and smaller, and the huge wave that could have destroyed the golden shock stone is gradually disappearing into invisibility.

The reason for this is that even ordinary people, no matter how dull they are, seem to have discovered a problem......

As fugitives from all over the world flock to the vicinity of Blackstar City, crime rates in other areas seem to have dropped to varying degrees......
