I, The Dragon Overlord-Novel

Chapter 424: Not Relying on the Gods!

After making a decision and a plan, the countries did not delay. The time constraint did not provide them with enough time to discuss anything in the meeting, so they had to discuss what was needed as they went.

The representatives of the countries quickly packed up and prepared to leave, but just then, someone spoke up and asked, “If… I mean if… this plan fails… Do we have a backup plan?”

In an instant, the entire United Nations conference hall quieted down. The people became silent and began to talk with their respective leaders, but in the end, only the US representative spoke up and said, “Before this, the countries of the world had a secret project to create a moon base for human habitation. This plan was finished after twenty years, but due to the high operation and maintenance costs, the moon base is not very large and cannot afford to have a large population.”

“If this plan fails, the top government officials will bring the world’s most famous experts and scholars to the moon base for refuge in order to find a possibility for the continuation of the human race within the next twenty years.”

“Although this satellite is big, it will only affect the Earth while the moon would be completely unharmed. There is no danger of hiding on the moon.”

After his words fell, many representatives opened their mouths but did not say anything in the end.

This was tantamount to announcing that if the plan failed, maybe only one in a hundred thousand could survive while the rest would be sacrificed.

Someone signed and murmured, “Earth will not be too damaged, but the human race might go extinct. Compared to the entire universe, human beings are really small.”

“May the Lord bless us!”

“Blessed be the Great God Amaterasu.”

“Please protect us, ancestors….”

“……”

The representatives of the countries bowed their heads and prayed silently to the gods they believed in. Then, they walked out of the UN building without saying a word. They ignored the reporters who were clamoring outside, got into their own cars, and left the premises.

……

“Something big has happened!”

“What’s wrong? Could it be the end of the world?”

“Wow, you guessed it right. This time, I’m afraid that it’s really the end of the world.

“Damn, don’t scare me. The year 2012 has already passed. How could there still be rumors of the end of the world.”

“Haha, the end of the world doesn’t even sound like a big deal anymore. Even the great Cthulhu has appeared and the gods are walking on Earth. Still, do you think that the world will exist forever? The prophecy of the Mayans will eventually come true.”

“Praise be to you, the Great Old One! Hear my call, King of the Endless Void! Starshifter! Solid foundation! Controller of Earthquakes! Conqueror of Terror! Creator of Pain! The Destroyer! The glorious victory! The Son of the void and chaos! Guardian of the Abyss! God of the original Darkness! Lord of Dimensions! The Wise One of Mystery! Keeper of Secrets! Master of the Labyrinth! Master of angels! God of Nighthawks, Master of the Gate! Refuser of the Way! Almighty Eternal Lord of the Primordial, Tawil At Umr, Yog-Sothoth, your servant summons you!”

“Crap, crap, crap! FBI, there’s a madman here, a believer in an evil god! We might once have seen incantations as a joke, but now that the gods have come down to Earth and Cthulhu’s dependents almost destroyed Tokyo, how dare you still read them out loud! Even if you want to fucking die, I still want to live!”

“The human race will eventually die, long live the old Dominion!”

“[You have been permanently banned!]”

“My family lives in a very remote part of the province of Lanhai where a large rocket launch base was built not long ago. I thought it was for some kind of scientific research project, but after seeing so many luxury cars drive to the base one after another, the recent rumors of the end seem likely to be true.”

“Warning!!! I am an astronomy enthusiast. Two days ago, I found a meteorite outside the sky flying toward the Earth, but I was immediately blocked on Weibo after sending it. I went to some foreign sites to see if anyone else noticed and also communicated with some foreign friends. They also found it. This time, the rumors of the end of the world must be related to it! You must believe me!”

“Cut the crap, everyone. Just turn on the TV and watch the news!”

……

In a press conference facing the whole world, the UN Secretary-General at the headquarters in Geneva made a solemn announcement.

At this moment, people of the world no matter if they were in Asia, Africa, America, Europe, or Australia, no matter day or night, be they at home, in the office, or outside the streets, all unanimously stopped moving. They stopped what they were doing and watched the video that was being transmitted to the whole world.

The amount of transmission and viewership at this moment had already exceeded the Guinness World Record.

As the image flickered, a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared on the speaker platform, held a manuscript in his hand, and spoke with a sad face, “Fellow human beings from all countries around the world, I am the UN Secretary-General Park Mou.”

The somewhat obese UN Secretary-General announced to the world in a subdued voice.

“Recently, there has been information circulating regarding the end of the world on the internet, causing social panic. At this time, at this moment, I want to tell you that this is not a rumor, but a real event that is going to happen on Earth!”

“Jupiter’s moon, Jupiter LXVI, has been affected by some unknown force. It broke away from the shackles of gravity and is about to crash on Earth after crossing billions of miles. This event was simply incomprehensible to human physicists.”

“It has turned into a meteor that is falling towards Earth on a course that will cause catastrophic destruction. Dust will float up into the sky and cover the clouds. It will not dissipate for years and blanket the Earth in darkness. The polar ice caps will also melt and set off monstrous tsunamis.”

“It will break through the Earth’s crust and send magma flying thousands of meters into the sky, releasing everything harmful to human beings. The vast majority of plants and animals will perish in this apocalypse. Darkness will soon become the norm for the surviving humans and animals.”

“Huuuu—”

The whole world burst into a panic. Although there were various supernatural events on Earth and even Christ sacrificed himself to force Satan back to hell, this was ultimately a scene that most people only saw on TV. Even if they knew that it was true, they would not be able to empathize with it, resulting in it becoming an object of excitement and desire.

But now that they were told a meteor was going to hit Earth, they began to panic, hoping that everything was just a joke.

“No!!! I’m still a virgin! I don’t want to die yet!”

“Mother fucking Jupiter!!!”

“After watching the program 《XX Earth》, I think that Jupiter should not exist. Now take a look, Jupiter is coming to destroy the Earth!”

“Ah, humans are so small and desperate. Under the will of the planet, we can only meet the end of all things. We are grains of dust under the stars. Fate will never be in the hands of humans themselves!”

“Stop bullshitting, are you trying to be a philosopher!”

“I don’t want to leave the wives in my closet.”

“……”

At this moment, people affected by this news almost went crazy, especially the people who were outside. Some were even about to start smashing objects and looting to vent their ugly inner desires before the end of all humanity.

Fortunately, the governments had already prepared their armed forces to stop these crimes.

And on television, the UN Secretary-General continued after a short pause.

“However, the light of hope and freedom of mankind hasn’t been extinguished. We are not like those reptiles 65 million years ago. We, human beings, are intelligent creatures. With our hard-working hands, we have never yielded to the beast or even the forces of nature. Within the struggle for natural supremacy, mankind has stood on top and created a glorious civilization. We have conquered nature step by step. Our footsteps have crossed the planet and reached the universe!”

“We are the victors in the natural race. Even a meteor from the sky can not destroy our human dignity and pride. We will face this situation like how our ancestors faced mammoths. With our strength and wisdom, we continue to open up the future of mankind!”

“The governments of the world had already discussed and researched countermeasures. We have already planned to blast the satellite apart. The bravest and wisest people have united together and the governments of the world will do their best to protect our planet to the end!”

“Let us bless those heroes who are about to embark on the journey. They will become the saviors of humanity and leave a heavy mark in history.”

The world went quiet, and then—

“Wow, I told you that there is a way to solve this crisis. I was so scared just now and was about to commit theft.”

“This UN Secretary-General is very bad. His speech almost scared me to death.”

“I had a heart attack, can I ask the UN for compensation?”

“Damn, what are you? A Mercedes with an oil leak?! Finish your words in one breath!”

“……”

After knowing that there was hope and countermeasures in place, most people were relieved.

If the human race was truly bound for extinction, those who had power and influence would have already begun to flee. Why would they even bother saying these things?

There were even people whose blood was boiling and whose hearts were agitated. This time, mankind will try to save itself. Perhaps mankind would not need the gods!
