"Baal Enterprises presents its new product, functional robots for all kinds of tasks." The presenter spoke directly to the camera, with an excited smile.
"As you heard, robots. Today is the future." He pointed his finger at the camera and continued.
The image changed to show dozens of humanoid robots in orderly rows, ready to be deployed.
The US Army had announced that it would implement the first units of these robots for field use, with the goal of reducing human casualties.
A woman with a microphone in her hand presented the robots behind her, explaining their capabilities. "Not only will they be used in the Army, but also in the Police Department to deal with desperate situations, such as cases involving explosives. We know there are already robots, but not of this type, which will increase the success rate by 100%.
" The crowd gathered in the studio applauded enthusiastically, while the robots remained motionless, ready to be activated and start working.

The screams of civilians were heard on the streets of New York; the sky was painted a blood-red color, the same color that was painting the asphalt. Portals all over the city opened, and dozens of monsters emerged from them. Law enforcement tried to stop these aberrations, but the bullets from their guns only bounced off the monsters' skin.
In the Big Apple, a man almost three meters tall, considered the tallest in the world and owner of Baal Enterprises, held the head of an elf in his bare hand. The elf struggled to escape his grip; its eyes showed deep fear, and guttural growls of fear came from its throat.
The giant effortlessly gutted the elf's head. The three-meter giant had a cold and angry gaze.
"Xenos." That word tasted distant in his mouth; memories of his duty, of his sacrifice.
He shook off the remains of his hand and sighed, preparing for what was to come. But he was sure that every dirty xeno would be killed by his hand; those who dared to take human lives would pay with their own.
On his back, a pair of white wings materialized; a golden light covered his wings, which took on a golden color. In his hand, a spear of light materialized. The remains of dozens of monsters surrounded him. The people who were hiding managed to see everything and recorded the brutality and elegance with which he finished off the monsters with their cell phones.
"It's an angel..." "Has the end of the world finally come?!" People were incredulous at what they were seeing. Sanguinius just gave them a smile that said everything would be okay. His wings unfolded, and he took off flying with his next objective in mind.
[The angel is watching over us] [The end of the world?] [Portals all over the world open, and nightmares emerge].
Hundreds of images and videos were leaked on the internet, and among all those images and videos, one theme stood out: a supposed angel that was killing monsters and saving the innocent from their claws.
In a video, the angel was seen with his wings extended in the sky, surrounded by a golden aura; and in the next second, he disappeared to appear in another video, killing dozens of monsters with a single movement of his spear of light. At times, he would raise his arm, then lower it, causing more monsters to be crushed by an invisible force. No monster dared to approach him, but the angel showed no mercy.
The world was in chaos; many countries were still dealing with the portals and their beasts. But in this moment, in the largest building in New York, known as The Lance of the Angel, footsteps of several people resonated in the grand hallway. Upon reaching a pair of doors at least four meters high, they didn't hesitate and entered the room.
"Great Master!" A beautiful Chinese woman kneeled on one knee and greeted the giant sitting behind the desk. The woman placed her hand on her heart and declared: "Your greatness and beauty grow with each passing day, Great Master." Her words came from the heart; for her part, she could spend all day reciting poems to the being sitting in front of her, but feeling the gazes of her companions, it was better to get straight to the point of their visit.
"Great Master, the world is in chaos; humanity is in disarray; it's our moment, the moment we've always planned. Bi-Han and Kuai-Liang are ready, along with their troops; they only await your order, my Master." Four people entered the room, and the four didn't hesitate to kneel; their gazes had expectations for the words the angel would say.
Sanguinius looked at them, thinking about the events that awaited in the future and everything they had done so far. "Prepare all units of the Tekunin clan; they will be deployed to assist people in each state of the United States, prioritizing the most affected areas." "Deploy all medical personnel we have to support the people; don't spare any expenses and..." While speaking, he added, taking into account what Sektor had told him. "Our plan is not rushed in any way; humanity, after this tragedy, will rise stronger than ever, and from what I see in your faces, you already know what I'm referring to."
He said, smiling, looking at each one. Bi-Han stood up to show what he had planned to surprise his master, but after hearing him, it seemed that surprise was ruined. "Yes, Master, it seems that nothing hides from your eyes." To immediately make a katana of ice appear in his hand and spread frosty chill in both hands.
Kuai-Liang also followed his example, pulling out flames from both arms that illuminated the room more. Tomas, equally, manifested his abilities, using it to fly a few centimeters off the ground. Each one presented their abilities with pride. "With this power that we have awakened, no one will stand in our way; we will be able to fulfill your orders more efficiently, Great Master." Bi-Han expressed while his tone of voice dripped with delight.
Sanguinius smiled upon hearing this. "Sektor, I hope you have investigated this and didn't just rush here to show me your new abilities like little kids." Hearing this, the three male ninjas felt a revelation, but it was more like a bucket of cold water. "Yes, in fact, I did investigate, not like some muscle-headed people who only think about their new toys."
He spoke with a condescending tone, looking at these three who didn't know what to say. Tomas wanted to refute by raising his arm, but Kuai-Liang lowered it to avoid being further humiliated by Sektor in front of their master.
"Well, as I was saying, it seems we weren't the only ones who awakened such abilities, but people around the world have done so." He spoke while touching a button on his wrist, which showed a hologram of the country with many red dots. "Every minute that passes, more people with superhuman abilities are reported, or more superhumans, as I call them."
Sanguinius nodded satisfied upon hearing this. "Well done, Sektor; as you heard this, it's just the beginning; our plan continues without changes."
"Great Master, what about your secret that has been shown to the whole world? It's only a matter of time before they know who the Angel is." Kuai-Liang spoke, asking Sanguinius the question that all four had. "About that, it was the right moment to show myself to the world as I truly am; the world already knows what I truly am, they've known me for years, and this will only serve to strengthen their trust in me and I won't disappoint them; I'll unite them under one idea, without a great bloodshed." His words fell with humility, while the light entered through the windows illuminating his frame, making him look even more angelic.
"You already know my goals, my great dream: a tomorrow of a united humanity, without conflicts of hatred, without wars; but for that, each step needs to be taken with wisdom, building something eternal that will last for eternity, and you will help me with that." "We'll always follow you wherever you lead us, Great Master! Doubt has no place among our ranks." Kuai-Liang declared, taking a step forward, followed by the others. "Everything will be carried out as you said, Great Master." Sektor affirmed, bowing while sending messages to mobilize all personnel.
"Sektor." Sanguinius called. "Yes, Great Master." Sektor responded immediately, earning a smile from the angel. "Monitor the people who awaken abilities that are useful for our plans; investigate them and recruit them; we'll need them for what awaits us in the future." "And those who represent a threat..." His words hung in the air, but the ninjas understood. "Understood, Great Master."
The male ninjas turned around and left through the door, leaving only Sektor and Sanguinius in the room. After a few seconds that seemed like hours, Sektor spoke. "Great Master, did you see all this, everything, in your visions?" He asked carefully, looking into the Angel's eyes. Sanguinius laughed softly, then sighed and responded. "Many things are shown to me in my visions, things that can and cannot happen..." His eyes softened. "But I'll always make the best decision for you and humanity."
"But..." Sektor wanted to ask him about many things. "But what?" Sanguinius asked. "Nothing, Great Master." But he preferred to let time answer. "Go with them, Sektor, and..." He said while a warm smile adorned his face. "Don't be too hard on them; they can't be as smart as you." He laughed softly at the end. This action earned Sektor's fascinated gaze and the young ninja's heart skipped a beat. "Yes, yes, Great Master." He bowed again and quickly left through the door to go to work.
With the sound of the door closing, Sanguinius leaned back in his giant chair. "How fast they grew..." He murmured softly to himself.
