“What’s happening?”
“How do I know?”
“Why don’t you go online and check it out?”
“Major websites are offline. Wait a second. Our forum is still online but apparently no one knows the exact reason either.”
At first, they urged Peter to check. However, with every passing minute, they stopped asking and only lay on the ground helplessly. They realized that something big was going to happen. ‘Is it earthquake? Yes and exactly this must be a mega earthquake.’, they thought so. Even if they were lying on the ground flat to reduce the effects greatly, they wanted to vomit. To the worst, they even prepared to face the aftermath of super earthquake in legend after the earthquake was still going on for more than ten minutes. Another ten minutes passed and it was still going on. Seven men just accepted the worst situation like the continent might sink into ocean like legendary Atlantis. Ten more minutes passed and the crowd of seven got up from the ground as the shaking finally stopped. From the start to finish, the super earthquake lasted half an hour.
The whole world is boiling as they just experienced super earthquake. Despite to their fears, not even a single building in cities was damaged. It was really strange. Almost everyone thought so. However, small towns and ranches were not that lucky. They got various damages like collapsed houses, barns and cellars. Signal towers and wind turbines crashed. And various types of roads are greatly damaged and they turned into segments. Transportation and communication have temporarily left the humanity as the foundation got hit hard. Governments are also facing big problems as they couldn’t connect with their satellites anymore. There used to be thousands of satellites rotating around the planet but now all of these satellites went offline completely. It was as if they were all erased at the same time.
If one is looking at earth from space at during this time, he or she would be surprised to witness that the blue planet suddenly became bigger twice of its original body. Moon was slightly repelled back by a strange force and stopped in a suitable distance forming new orbital path around the earth again. However, the man made satellites were not that lucky. They all faced the expanding earth and crashed by it. Luckily, the earth expanded in directly proportional to the original pattern and most of these satellites crashed into the vast ocean. A few are now in polar regions while the rest are at farms, ranches or the mountains. Sooner or later, they would be discovered by nearby inhabitants and mankind would be surprised to find out the miracle fact that the earth expanded.
In a big hall at an unknown place, many men and women are sitting with excited expressions on their respective seats. They could be old, young and middle age in appearance but not a single one looked weak. Some are three or four meters tall and extremely burly. Some look like just two meters tall normal human. They are all dressing up differently representing different cultures and different backgrounds. But they all look exactly like human beings and even the four meter tall burly man looks handsome in golden ratio figure if you ignore his height. The decoration and arrangement of the grand hall exactly looks like a parliament. In the middle, there are six people in grand looking thrones. Five men and one woman.
“Today, the first day of second thousandth year of the fourth grand Aion, with six favors out of six chairmen of the council, the article Fifteen allowing mankind to develop independently for nearly five thousands years is now formally ceased to exist.”
“Secondly, the method provided by Symbol of Truth and Knowledge Lord Horus has been proven true. From now on, the council has decided to wholeheartedly develop the Twin Thrones star system according to it. All civilization must provide at least one True God to take part in the whole process. We must prepare to welcome the great Origin Mother and raise the banner of Tera again. From now on, grand era of Sacred Tera has come.”
Stolen novel; please report.
“The meeting for this month is hereby declared ended successfully. You all can act at will.”
The only beautiful woman sitting on one of the six thrones announced the end of the matter. Several people disappeared from their seats directly after that. But many didn’t leave immediately and started to communicate with their friends.
At the same time, in the famous Pentagon building of the federation, an old man in uniform, who still looks strong and healthy, is standing in front of an office which exists in the first underground floor. He knocked the door of six stars general Douglas Crusol. He is one of the four six stars generals of the federation. These six stars generals can represent the military power of the whole federation. A single order came out from each of them can shake the whole world.
“Come in.”, an indifferent voice came from the office. The old man opened the door and entered the office unhurriedly. The owner of the room grand Marshal Douglas Crusol stopped writing and looked up at the visitor. Surprisingly, grand Marshal Douglas looks like a strong man in his forties. When he saw the visitor, he seemed a little surprised. He pointed at the chair at the opposite and asked, “Major General Elison Wood, what a rare visitor. Take a seat and let’s talk about what made you to come to me today.”
Yes, that old man is the Elison Wood who talked with Texas Governor Musk Well and Rich businessman David Raymond from Raymond consortium. Today, when he was reporting the year end reviews at Pentagon, someone he arranged to clear the mice finding troubles in the Webb county together with local law enforcers called him and informed him about failure of the mission. After asking about the details, he decided to ask a higher ranking man with his connection. However, due to sudden earthquake, he was escorted to a safe house and was forced to stay at there before the threat was cleared. He didn’t even know about the lost of communication service. As for why he came to Douglas? Because his wife’s surname was Crusol before she took his surname after the marriage. And another reason is Douglas is Grand Marshal of federation Aviation and Space Forces.
“Father in law, I really have something to trouble you. I don’t know if you’ve heard of the group of terrorists who challenged the majesty of federation government.”
Douglas looked at Elison meaningfully and said calmly, “Of course, I heard of it. Several old friends came and talked with me yesterday for it. If I haven’t blocked them for you, you would not appear here today with this outfit. Allowing them to hurt our citizens is already beyond the line. Not to mention touching the families of veterans who sacrificed for the federation.”
Elison sweated coldly and said hurriedly, “All I do is for the greater good. You also know that, father in law. In my side, we are almost going to succeed. It only needs a tiny distance and we will be able to produce the medicine with similar effects in mass volume. At that time, I will also crack down that gang of people on my own. But some people suddenly came out of nowhere and interrupted my arrangements.”
Douglas waved his hand and asked calmly, “What do you want?”
Elison sat straight and told his real purpose of coming here, “Just a few minutes before the earthquake started, one of my men called and told me that nearly thirty veteran marines were killed by that group of men when they tried to assist the chasing law enforcers under the call of local government. These men are wearing heavy armors like knights of cold weapon era. It was reported that they were strange and very strong. So, I came to ask you if you can help me take care of them. After all, they really seem to be one of those mysterious people.”
Douglas leaned back on the chair and said, “Federation have temporarily decided to not take any measure against mysterious people. It just happened a few minutes ago. The meeting was held urgently during the previous earthquake as we instantly lost control of all satellites. You go back first. By the way, Elison, tell Jean to come to the old house during this weekends. Her mother misses her.”
Elison nodded and left the office. Although the purpose of his visit failed, he was fortunate to hear that his backer blocked some attacks on him. It could be said that the visit was half-successful. As for what the higher level people planning about, he understood that he got no right to know these things.
