    You guys are right, you mean strong inhumanity? This isn't even human, he's practically a corpse! The plot is amazing, and it's still ongoing; they've already updated thousands of chapters, definitely enough to keep you entertained. The part where Yuan Yuan is mistaken for a high school girl is really funny. A mysterious little beauty with long, straight black hair is mistaken for a girl at the World Championship, nicknamed the Ice Queen, or Ice Emperor for short. She's pursued by the White Emperor and confessed to by the Child of Light, Julian, on the field in a cat-like form. Once she returns to her human form, she'll indiscriminately unleash her "Cute God Power" on everyone, turning everyone present into her slaves.

    The first and third main characters are not human, so they have a strong sense of inhumanity (yes, that's right). The main characters 1, 2, 5, 7, and 8 are more aloof, while the main characters 4 and 9 are more insane. The main characters 6 and 10 are the dominant ones and have a stronger sense of inhumanity (in my opinion). This is a secondary account (after reading a lot, it's not much different from the main account...).
