Chapter 47 The World Is In Chaos!

—Booom!!!

An explosion occurred a street away from Keith's hotel.

Keith McDowell, who was currently lying on his bed asleep, opened his eyes. A murderous glint shone in Keith's eyes as he was pissed off.

"Which mongrel disrupted this lord's sleep?!"

Keith's killing intent was released as his voice seethed with anger.

The mana in Keith's body was released as it accompanied his killing intent. If Keith wanted to, he could use both his mana and killing intent to kill anyone weaker than him by just his intent alone.

Remembering where the sound of the explosion was generated from, Keith used his Eyes of Heaven to peer through the walls and buildings until he found the culprit of the explosion.

A man with disheveled shoulder-length black hair and manic black eyes roamed the street with a dagger in his hand. The dagger was covered and dripping with blood and the streets around the man were littered with corpses.

The screams of the passersby who witnessed the man's killing spree perforated in the street while they ran away like scattered ants. Their actions only incited the excitement of the man as he laughed like a madman while chasing the civilians who attempted to escape from his grasp.

"Run bitch! Run!!!"

"Hehehehehee! Muahahaha!"

The manic laughter of a forty-year-old man resounded in the streets as he swiftly slashed his dagger toward the nape of a civilian who ran away from him.

The civilian was decapitated as his shoulder was freed of its burden. His head fell on the ground while his headless neck sprouted out a bloody fountain!

"This is the greatest high!"

"None can stop me! No one can! I will kill everyone to become the strongest! I will build my own paradise and I will make everyone in this world my plaything!"

"I will kill the government after this! They deserved it! They dared to make something as exciting as killing illegal!? How dare they!"

Despite yelling his intentions to his heart's content, none could stop the man from committing genocide.

A few of the civilians that he had killed had put up a resistance since they were awakened humans. But they couldn't change their fate as they lay on the asphalt road with their cold and lifeless corpse.

Even if someone managed to become an awakened human, not all of them were as fortunate as Keith and Derick to awaken skills above the SSS-grade. Most awakened humans could only awaken F- to C-grade skills while the more fortunate ones managed to awaken B- and A-grade skills.

The forty-year-old serial killer was fortunate that he had awakened an SSS-grade skill!

In other words, as long as he was given enough time to grow, it won't be long before he would become a threat to humanity's survival.

Of course, that was if Keith McDowell didn't exist.

But even if Keith dealt with the forty-year-old serial killer, he alone wasn't enough to deal with the crimes that surged after the mana awakening.

***

In America, serial killers and robbers ran wild as they disrupted the order and peace within the country. They emphasized that as a citizen of the country of freedom, they shouldn't be restricted from killing anyone and robbing anything they liked.

In Japan, a bunch of men covered their eyes with long bangs as they fucked any beautiful woman they see in the street. As for the more powerful ones, they held a stopwatch, a lighter, and a magic mirror as they committed their crimes with those soul artifacts.

In India, a group of women started an uprising as they hated the arranged marriages that they went through especially when their husband was a scumbag.

In Europe, a horde of paled skin men and women came out of their coffins as they no longer feared the sunlight. They transformed into bats and flew towards the nearest prey as they drank the blood of their prey.

In Italy, a pack of wolves transformed into humanoid form as they escaped from the wild and headed to human civilization.

In the Philippines, an army of terrorists from the mountains came out of hiding after finding out that they awakened powers.

But before those terrorists could step out of the mountains, a bunch of kapres, duendes, tikbalangs, manananggals, aswangs, and other mythical creatures killed them since those mythical creatures were holding a grudge towards those terrorists for occupying their land and disrespecting them.

Not only humans but other hidden creatures have also awakened mana and even animals. But compared to humans, the chances of those creatures awakening mana were lower.

As for China, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with what they were doing.

After all, a bunch of men playing with swords while wearing cultivation robes seemed to be the norm here. Especially, there were young masters at the side as they bet on which licking dog of theirs would win the sword fight. Those young masters even held a jade beauty on their side by the waist while flirting with their jade beauties.

In other words, the awakening of mana had caused chaos throughout planet earth which delayed the establishment of the Awakened Guild. The law enforcement of the Unified World Organization was busy protecting the citizens from the evildoers so they couldn't focus on establishing the Awakened Guild.

Although the establishment of the Awakened Guild was delayed, from the looks of it, it would only be a matter of time for it was established since law enforcement had the upper hand due to their thermal weapons.

Around the world, chaos ensued as the crime rate went up drastically.

After Keith recovered his composure, he didn't stop the serial killer but he observed the serial killer from afar. He studied the serial killer's attack pattern as well as the skills the serial killer had used.

His subordinates had already informed him about the problem that popped up around the world but Keith didn't care.

After all…

"This doesn't seem to be a bad thing. I was worried that after I solved world hunger, the world will face overpopulation but it seems that I don't have to start the purge project."

Keith nonchalantly commented while observing the serial killer murder civilians.
