DEVIANT

153 Chapter 153: End of the world?

A month passed and the military was still moving their things away from Virginia as promised. Structures were torn down and pieces of equipment were moved but there was still a lot more here.

Many feared their absence will lead to the return of the tyrant gang but none of that happened. The current state of the mutant beasts was too risky for any force to remain. In the past month, numerous occasions where mutant beasts forced their way into the safe zones could be heard of all over the world.

Many speculated that they were already growing some sort of immunity to the strange mutant plants and this could be considered bad news for humanity.

Countless third-world countries, less developed and less protected, especially in Africa was on the brink of destruction. Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost in just a month after it began happening.

The most popular Video online now, takes place in Nigeria where a horde of mutant beasts raced forward while seven men leisurely walked towards the horde.

It was all seven members of the culture, gathered together in public for the first time.

It was a fierce battle but someone they managed to drive back the beast invasion. But even then there is so much a small number of people can do.

The culture resides in the southern part of the country and remains adamant about protecting the south, so whatever happens in the north doesn’t concern them.

Meanwhile, the north has only one capable and well-known deviant. Rumor has it, that he may be the most capable deviant in Africa! An SS-rated deviant who stands in the way of total annihilation of the northern part of Nigeria.

.....

Other countries like South Africa, Ghana, and a handful of countries are able to hold on but the question is for how long?

As each country falls, the territory of the mutant beast’s increases. Increasing the possibility of their demise!

In a continent like Africa, populated with religious fanatics, it didn’t take long before silly tales of this being a sign of God’s discontent to spread. While many claimed this was signs of the end times as said in the Bible, others preached about repentance and forgiveness, and only then will god step in and save them.

Some even went as far as to accuse the culture as evildoers, fighting against the will of God. They kept urging the culture to stop resisting and let the will of God take place. They strongly believed that if they submit, the beasts won’t harm them.

At first, the culture ignored them and kept focusing on keeping the southern part of the country safe but then a riot broke out. Christians who believe those words came out to protest in masses against the culture. They planned to intimidate and force them into submission with sheer numbers.

The world watched, hoping to see how the culture plans to deal with this matter but what they saw was so bone-chilling even no one dares to speak of it till today!

No one was sure who started it but a great massacre began. The members of the culture began murdering the protesters in large numbers without restraint. They put in so much effort it looked like they were fighting their mortal enemies.

In the end, tens of thousands of protesters died that day, and since then no one had mustered the courage to speak against them.

Alex simply felt bad about the culture and no one else. In his opinion, Religion shouldn’t interfere in a person’s day to day life activities. Yes have your belief but also try to be logical and realistic when it matters.

He spent the entire month practicing with the massive gem. Drawing power from it directly, Alex focused on pushing his Silver statue technique to the next level.

During that time, the massive Power source was moved to the underground training chamber. They feared leaving it in the house exposed may have some unwanted effects on others living there, so only Alex who could refine the energy with his matter absorption ability could go down there.

As for training, with the military moving their things, there was a lot of space outside, so Blaze and the others sparred there.

News of Alex having twin deviant powers had already been released to the world, along with news of project power. He was practically a celebrity and since the nameless was no longer a family under the military, people were eager to see their achievements.

All eyes were on Virginia, hoping to see if the Nameless family can claim that territory!

“How long more will it take?” Silver spoke into the microphone as he watched Alex sit in the same position with his hand placed on the massive crystal core without moving.

It looked like he wasn’t breathing, with purple energy visibly flowing into his body.

“Don’t get too impatient... I have been here for only a month... if it takes me a year to reach the next level this will be considered a massive achievement!” Alex replied calmly without moving.

“It is not like I am impatient but we are running out of time” Silver Siad calmly.

“Let me speak to him” Tracy said as she moved past Silver and walked to the microphone before speaking.

“Babe.... Before you took the crystal core, the mutant beasts were simply everywhere, reaping each other apart but now what they seek is here, this place is surrounded! The military is blocking the borders of the state, preventing anyone from entering or leaving! We either make it here or die here” Tracy said with a concerned look on her face but even then Alex didn’t move.

“No one is dying... Chill” Alex replied nonchalantly.

He wanted to be in his best condition before taking on the horde.

“Alex...” A familiar voice rang on the mic and only then did he look up in the direction of the camera with a frown.

His reaction caught the attention of everyone, including Tracy as they gazed at Queen with a confused look on her face.

Queen leaned forward before she continued speaking.

“The Vines are growing towards this direction faster than usual... should it join forces with the beasts, winning won’t be possible anymore... I suggest we move now and start cutting down the enemy forces while we can” Queen said in a calm and alluring tone.
