Chapter 898 – #196_Cataclysm
One.
What is the state maintained by?
Several answers may emerge.
Sovereignty, laws and institutions, economy, security, and culture.
Any one of them is a major part that makes the gigantic mechanism called the state work.
However, to give the most primitive and concise answer, one word would be ‘power’.
All sovereignty, laws, institutions, economy, security, and culture are guaranteed stability by power.
The reason why many people trust the system called the state.
The reason why I can’t dare to fix it even though I think it’s not right.
This is because there is an insurmountable force in the nation at the individual or group level.
Refined violence created by the wisdom and science accumulated by mankind.
It’s the army
However, there is a transcendent individual who can laugh at such a gap in this world.
“Ursira von Himmelslauf. She uses magnetic magic to deal with gravity, and her nickname as a witch is ‘The Witch of Reverse Heaven’.
As confirmed, it is a 22nd-tier Hexsennacht hardline achievement.
Today at 04:25. The Witch of Reverse Heaven encountered the 7th Fleet, which was returning home due to the abnormal movement of the homunculus, and struck a unilateral preemptive strike.”
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or if it was planned from the beginning.
Although there is a suspicion that this legion’s landing was related to the Witch of Whispers,
The Witch of Whispers does not belong to Hexsenacht.
Anyway, it was really good timing.
The timing when witches from all over the world gathered to stop the legion’s landing.
Like soft cotton, it pierced the vacuum of power created by absorbing the witches that had spread all over the world.
Location Point, which was focusing on the subjugation operation, was not even aware of the raid on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
“The beginning of the engagement. 7th Fleet avoided engagement with Urshira as much as possible. It seems that he was trying to avoid friction with the Archwitch in some way.”
Urshira was a European beauty, but she was wearing a red cheongsam.
Covering her left eye with her black eyepatch, she stared at her aircraft carrier fleet while standing sullenly on the deck of a stateless vessel.
In fact, what would be the result if the witch of the 22nd hierarchy displayed her skills against humans?
Everyone present here knew.
However, the video captured a far more one-sided violation than expected.
Ur Shi-ra waved her hand in command, and countless tiny, jet-black orbs of hers sprung up.
The elements that each control the direction and strength of the gravitational field are shot in all directions like cremore.
Soja, who is no different from alien technology to humans, ridiculously tore apart a huge destroyer.
Although the ship was resistant to torpedoes and air attacks from enemy ships, it could not resist gravity acting in different directions from all directions.
The sea, which turned red as if it had been painted, answers what kind of ending the sailors aboard had met.
“04:42. After a series of persistent attacks, we finally counterattacked…”
The fleet’s ferocity was desperate.
30mm autocannons, various multi-purpose missiles and torpedoes, bombardment from stealth bombers roaming in the sky, and direct strikes through sorties from carrier-based aircraft.
Enough firepower to be directed at her personally was directed at Ur Shi-ra and her old freighter.
What appeared between the unrealistically splendid fireworks and spray was a witch whose hair was not singed and a cargo ship whose paint was not peeled off.
Afterwards, Ursira destroyed everything around her with an emotionless expression.
The aircraft, which flew in the sky and rained down machine guns and missiles, disintegrated like toys and crashed.
The attack submarine, which had to stay on the sea floor, floated up to hundreds of meters in the sky and was thrown away helplessly.
What she aimed for to decorate her finish was an aircraft carrier that could be called the heart of the 7th Fleet.
The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, which has a displacement of 100,000 tons, a hull length of 300M, and can easily withstand 12 anti-ship missiles, was literally folded.
The carrier, whose back was broken, lifted her head and stern high into the sky and sank with a splash of water.
“04:59. Ur Shira lazily left her post after sinking her carrier. Since then, she has been air jacking Hexen Nacht and broadcasting the video around the world through her existing influencers and the Internet.”
“…”
The Emergency Response Headquarters, which had gathered again before disbanding, went into a long silence after the briefing.
I looked around and everyone was shocked.
In fact, Siwoo also had no sense of reality.
It’s like watching an extraterrestrial invasion blockbuster with a good CG but a B-grade story, just by spending a lot of money.
Ever since Keter spread her hidden barrier to all witches, witches have been taken for granted in the mysteries.
After the creation of Gehenna, this principle was further strengthened, and even a merciless mace was given to those who violated it.
But attacking the fleet wasn’t enough, and spreading the video indiscriminately?
It is difficult to predict the ripple effect in the reality that violates the customs and inertia so far.
Elroa was the first to speak.
“A pact of concealment?”
“Many countries are working together to block the spread of information by controlling the press, but…”
“It must be a matter of time.”
“Yes, it is.”
I don’t know if it’s the past when newspapers and radio were the main media.
However, now it is the 21st century that access to the Internet is not difficult unless you are in a remote or poor country.
Even with the power of witches and national cooperation, it is impossible to completely cover up an incident like this.
“What the hell is Hexsenacht aiming for…”
“Then what will happen next?”
“Is Duke Keter still not moving? Aren’t you really dead?”
The Internet has become a roaring brazier in an unprecedented video.
Articles are pouring in, and videos uploaded by cyber-leckers all over the world quickly record tens of millions of views.
– Whoever sees it, it’s a masterpiece
-They’re going viral these days
Until the first video was released, the main public opinion was CG, noise marketing for movie promotion, and manipulated video.
-I am a deep learning researcher. If you watch the video at 3:14 seconds, the picture quality inconsistency reaction occurs, right?
-The world police armband is not for everyone Does the United States look funny?
-At the time of the 9/11 terrorist attack, the whole world held its breath when the United States expressed its anger. If this video is true, you’d be playing with a nuclear card by now.
– It’s clear that the video was manipulated. I see weapons that are not part of the 7th Fleet’s formation.
In the comments, a large number of self-proclaimed video reading experts and military experts appeared, voicing enthusiasm about ‘why this video is CG’, and received the most likes and settled in the top comments.
It was a very common sense reaction.
Isn’t it a video of dealing with the military alone, like breaking a child’s wrist, against the most powerful fleet of the U.S. Army called the Space Defense Force?
That’s when a shrewd woman shows off her superpowers.
Even in hero waters, where power inflation is in full swing, such developments will be criticized.
Like this, while everyone was swallowing their saliva without being able to hide their confusion, the door opened and a witch hurriedly reported.
“The White House has issued an official position! At this point, they seem to have decided that abiding by the oath of concealment is meaningless!”
Real-time broadcasts from US public broadcasting stations are transmitted through large screens.
The U.S. President, who had a miserable expression on his face, opened his mouth after a long silence.
〈 Dear fellow citizens. Today, I bring you the sad news that the proud fleet of the United States of America has been attacked by an unknown hostile force.
This morning. Many people have been sacrificed by beings that cannot be understood by the wisdom of mankind.
Authorities are doing everything in their power to respond to this attack. We will also take all measures to promote national security and the lives and well-being of our people. We will respond resolutely through solidarity.
We announce that we will work together with the international community to come up with active countermeasures for this incident.
My deepest condolences to the victims of this incident and their families. Thank you.〉
It did not directly mention witches, and the response was so general that it could not be thought of as being from the United States, which suffered a preemptive strike.
He did not clearly reveal who the main enemy was, and he also kept quiet about the existence of witches.
After the leader of a country confirmed the facts, everyone panicked together.
-Wtf is that real? I can’t believe it!
-The existence of aliens has already been observed by many scientists. Humanity didn’t thoroughly prepare for it, and now it’s Doomsday.
-That woman was wearing traditional Chinese clothing. Could she not be an alien, but a biological weapon created for war in China?
-It is as written in the Book of Revelation. And the Lord said, Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences, and there will be terrible things and great signs from heaven. He also said that all of this was the beginning of disaster. Many signs have already appeared. Let us urge repentance even now and return to the bosom of Yahweh and enjoy eternity together with the saved saints in the holy Millennial Kingdom that He has established. Amen.
– Yotsi! Humanity has been reset ah wwwww(*´▽｀)ノノ
-The great President Xi Jinping’s secret weapon slaughtered the vicious capitalist pigs. The woman in the video has blue-eyed blonde hair, but she is wearing the traditional clothing of the People’s Republic of China, so she must be an honorary Chinese.
-What stock should I buy now? Should I buy gold?
-Anyway, that girl looks fucking pretty
Up to this point, my head is dizzy.
The sudden change of situation did not stop.
“Duke Tiphareth, report.”
Not even tidying up her tousled hair, she said in a somewhat absent-minded voice.
“The ‘gates’ of Gehenna are closed. Contact is currently unavailable. In addition, observation reports about the homunculus are coming up from all over the world. Homunculus began to appear in front of humans without using the barrier. So far, no damage has been confirmed, but we ask that you take action as soon as possible…”
Now that everything was unclear, this was certain.
Humanity and the witch society.
We have reached an unprecedented turning point.
