Beyond the Sequence: After Rejecting Justice, I Became a God

The end times began, and the evil gods descended.

Humanity's old civilization collapsed overnight. Seventy percent of humanity became food for the bloodthirsty, merging with the evil gods.

Only after the establishment of Transcendent Engineering did humans awaken their Sequences and become Transcendents.

The survivors established city-states and created a new order.

Among them, the most renowned city was called Justice City.

Here, life was held above all else.

Here, ordinary people were forbidden from coming into contact with the uncanny.

Here, the Transcendents would protect every citizen, "no matter the cost."

Mu Xingzhou, however, was an unregistered nobody, with no identity, no Sequence, and no way to work.

He had nothing. To treat his younger brother, who had been contaminated by the uncanny, he entered an underground fighting arena and earned money through one life-or-death battle after another.

Then, during his fiftieth fight, Mu Xingzhou injected himself with a Scarlet Awakening Serum that had only a 43% success rate.

"As long as the odds aren't zero, success is the only outcome for me."

The next moment,

the War God Sequence awakened.

He gained his first ability, [Domain Devourer].

Devour power, strip away abilities, analyze anomalous objects, and acquire knowledge.

From that moment on, Mu Xingzhou realized that the world of Transcendents was even stranger than he had imagined.

He devoured a partially awakened person and gained a new War God ability.

He devoured an anomalous object and saw the secrets hidden within it.

He devoured the power of the uncanny and discovered that they were learning from humanity.

Gradually, he also realized that Justice City, which claimed to protect humanity, was not as just as he had imagined.

Some used justice to make the rules.

Some used justice to conceal the truth.

Some even used justice to decide who deserved to live.

So Mu Xingzhou made a decision.

He rejected their justice.

And then, he became a god.
