The Epic of Leviathan (A Mutant's Ascension)

Chapter 193 - Chaos Around The World...

[SHIELD Headquarters, New York]

After the news broke about the shutting down of flight systems and traffic systems, the President ordered everyone to return to their own offices for now until everything was fixed and a culprit was caught. Then, they found out about the theft of monies and shares in the stock market. Wall Street was also completely shut down after that. ??

Fury found that it was impossible to return to the SHIELD Headquarters via road, so he got himself a chopper. Immediately after returning to his office, he was reported about the crashing of defense systems… he immediately wanted to bang his bald head on the wall. This was simply impossible to this… there is no way someone can do all this unnoticed.

"So, anyone can attack our country now?" Fury asked in an incredulous tone.

"Yes, sir. We are completely vulnerable, our only saving grace is that the other countries are also facing the same problem. Currently, no one has a working weapon system" Agent Coulson reported in a solemn voice. Before, they could continue speaking another Agent burst out into the room without knocking.

"You better have a very good reason to enter my office without knocking Agent" Fury spoke in a dangerous tone. Fury saw the sweating Agent and thought that he should at least give this guy a chance to explain himself…

"Sir, all of our digital systems have been compromised, we have been completely locked out of our own systems…" the Agent started to give his report and the expression on Fury's face kept turning uglier by each passing second.

"You mean to say, that someone has access to all of our restricted data?" Fury asked in an enraged tone. The Agent reporting gulped really hard…

"Yes, sir" the Agent squeaked out, by now Fury was shaking in anger. This was the worst possible scenario… but at this moment Fury had no idea how much worst it was going to get…

[ELYSIUM] [POV Reo]

Nemuri finally returned after an hour… by this time I have already collapsed more than 50 percent of the human society.

"How long will it take?" I asked Nemuri.

"It is already done… I have brought 20 percent of everything here on this island the rest is stored away in a safe place" Nemuri answered taking out her own laptop.

"Good… did you tell the others that you brought food and clothing?" I asked to which she simply nodded her head. I gestured Nemuri to sit down beside me…

"So, what do you need me to do?" Nemuri asked me, she already knew about the Fire Sale I have been planning.

"When will the Confundus charm break?" I asked Nemuri when she stole all the fuel from the Middle-Eastern Countries and Russia she put all of them under a Confundus charm making them think that everything was normal when nothing was normal anymore…

"Whenever I wish" Nemuri answered, I told her that the Confundus charm was no longer needed and she could break it. Nemuri cackled in mad glee and snapped her fingers.

After that, both of us decided to destroy any kind of remaining economical structure the human societies have left. But Nemuri found something that should have been left hidden… she found the gold in Fort. Knox.

"Please… please… please… I want that gold!!" Nemuri grabbed my sleeve and started to tug it like a small kid does when she wants candies. My resolution quickly crumbled into dust and I decided to take her and steal everything from there.

"Fine… fine… I will take you but before that, we need to complete another important task, we need to shut down all forms of communications" I said and Nemuri happily agreed to wait for a few more minutes.

"What about the News Channels and Radio channels? What about their electricity?" Nemuri asked me looking slightly confused.

"We don't need to shut them down… after all, if we shut those down then how will they know how badly they are fucked" I said seeing that Nemuri nodded in agreement I continued "I also want them to have their electricity… or how else am I going to demonstrate those E.M.P. warheads" I said with an evil grin, then both me and Nemuri started to cackle in mad glee…

[Around the World]

While Reo and Nemuri decided to empty the vaults of Fort. Knox the rest of the world was plunged into complete madness.

It was complete chaos and pandemonium for everyone, in the morning the traffic systems and the flight systems crashed. Hence, unnecessary and messy traffic jams, a lot of accidents along with several kinds of other problems. That also meant no flights… a lot of people missed their important business meetings.

Then came the news of shares and money disappearing from the stock market. The global market has already collapsed by that time. At that time everyone thought that nothing worse can happen… but within another hour they were proven wrong.

The news about money being stolen came out, the banks tried to suppress it but there was no way that they would be able to do it. About hundreds of thousands of people take out cash from ATM machines before they start their day… and when they did the news got out. If it was only a matter of a few people then it could have been solved but now… everyone's money has been stolen without a single clue left behind.

Then the news about food and resources shortage got out and that is what broke the camel's back. Riots started to break out in the bigger cities… everyone had already forgotten about mutants now. People wanted to get answers from their governments but their country leaders were keeping their lips sealed.

Then the human nations were dealt another serious blow, telephone, pagers, internet stopped working. It was like every kind of communication was being stopped. All countries immediately got busy wanting to fix the communication issue but the experts didn't even know what was wrong with their systems.

While this was going on around the world, the Military Departments were having their own headache. Their complete satellite systems have been crashed, previously they boasted how impeccable their system was but all of that laid useless in front of them. They boasted how they could destroy a country just by pressing a button but now they can't even launch fireworks by pressing a button.

The Middle-Eastern countries were completely ruined, their main source of income has been selling oil to the whole world but now their mines are completely dry. None of them knew how the hell this happened… just a few minutes ago everything was normal how can suddenly all that crude oil disappear?? Russia was also facing this same problem… at least Russia had their resources but it was quite clear that they would be facing problems too because they can't import anything from the other countries now.

The value of currencies around the world were dropping at a rapid rate. Soon there will be nothing left to drop… the only thing they had now was electricity but now that oil has disappeared from the market they didn't know how long they will be able to use that. Yes, oil is very important for the production of electricity…

Only solar energy is produced without any need of oil… even in windmills oil is needed for lubrication, lubrication is also needed in Hydro Powerplants. There was no way that they could recover from this kind of blow.

[Oval Office, White House]

"Gentlemen, what is the damage, and how long will it take us to recover?" the President asked in a sullen voice. All of them already knew that this was a planned terrorist attack on a global scale but it was done so fast that they didn't even have any time to brace themselves. They were defeated and destroyed in one fell swoop. Radio was the only kind of communication that could be used and for whatever reason, the news channels were still running.

"Sir, we are still unable to re-establish any kind of communication. We only have whatever is already running" a scientist-looking guy said in a tired voice. A young man raised up his hand as soon as the scientist finished, the young man looked like a recent college graduate… but the President gestured him to speak up.

"Sir, I think that whoever did this knowingly left the radio and news channels functional" the young man said. A veteran army general growled in annoyance and looked towards the young man.

"And why do you think that?" the same general growled out. The young man didn't even flinch.

"It's because they wanted to cause mass fear, people are rioting out in the streets because they were able to get this news. Whoever did this allowed those things to function then locked us out of our own satellite. Whoever did this has planned it out completely" the young man said and no one in the room had any guts to retort.

"Please continue" the President asked the young man to continue.

"Sir, this was a systematic attack, first they took out all the transportation systems, they started to steal money, there is no exact time when the resources disappeared or the oil disappeared, but my guess is that it was before they openly struck. They destroyed our defense systems after that and finally they destroyed our communication system… with this, they also successfully destroyed all of our emergency communication systems" the young man finished.

"Can you tell us why the attack happened?" another army general asked.

"I have no idea, sir, personally, I can't see any kind of final objective they could have" the young man answered.

"You said they?" General Ross asked impatiently.

"Of course, sir, this was done by a group. A single person cannot attack all these systems at such a speed, it is just not possible" the young man said while shaking his head in denial. No one in the room spoke anything and remained completely silent. They were brought out of the silence when they heard an odd kind of disturbance from the TV. All of them turned their heads towards the TV and after a few seconds, a man with black hair and black eyes wearing a business suit appeared on the TV.

"Good evening my fellow citizens of Earth, you can call me Leviathan…" the man on the TV started to speak.
