Chapter 442 - Demons of Greece
“Oh, Lord, have you completely abandoned us?”
Upon seeing the terrifying monster that had crawled out from the bottom of the Hawaiian sea, some naval soldiers fell to the ground with weakened knees. They uttered murmurs and some believers even held the cross in their hands and prayed devoutly.
“Yes, the Lord has not abandoned us, but only those who never give up will be loved by the Lord. Men, this is not the time to despair. Rouse yourselves for we are the great American Navy. We are part of the Seventh Fleet of the Pacific, and our predecessors have fought in the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Gulf War!”
“As soldiers of the Seventh Fleet, now is not the time to give up! Look at the deck beneath your feet, this is the aircraft carrier USS Washington, and look around you, that is the glory of our United States Navy! Now, everyone, return to your posts. We will retreat to a safe distance from this monster first. Inform Washington and the Commander of the Pacific Navy about the situation. It’s time for them to make a decision!”
The commander of the Seventh Fleet was ultimately a man who had seen a lot of storms. Although the monster in the distance was beyond his comprehension, he still recovered the fastest and gave his orders.
A commander in the army played a great role. If the commander was confident and calm, the entire force would have a great improvement in morale. Hearing the fifty-year-old general roar in the command room, the members quickly saluted and acted.
When the commander saw the morale being restored, he exhaled and walked to the command deck. He gripped the metal railing with both hands to keep the soldiers from seeing the cold sweat on his forehead.

He whispered in a voice that only he could hear.
The monster was titanic and humanoid in shape. Towering at over three hundred meters, it appeared to be a hideous mass of thick and writhing serpents. Of the thousands of eyes littered across its body, not one showed a hint of anything other than brutality and viciousness.
……
White House, Washington—
“Mr. President, urgent information!”
The Secretary of Defense hurriedly entered the President’s office. He also came with the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Secretary of State, and other important officials.
The president who was playing with his phone and tweeting was startled. He quickly placed down his phone and pretended to be serious, but when he saw the group of people who came in, he just showed pain and held his head, “Ugh, I really don’t want to see you people now,” He sighed, “Say it. Is it another one of those supernatural events?”
The only kind of event that could make the Secretary of Defense, the Director of Homeland Security, the Secretary of State, and other high-ranking officials barge into his office in the current climate was something supernatural.
The Secretary of Defense pretended not to see the President playing with his phone as he nodded heavily, “Yes, Mr. President! There is a message from Hawaii that something has happened to the meteorite.
“There have been continuous volcanic eruptions in Hawaii, and… a monster has appeared in the sea where the meteorite fell.”
The Secretary of Defense handed over the documents with the photos.
The photos were very clear and were taken by the Seventh Fleet at close range. When the president saw the terrifying monster, he showed an expression of disgust and rubbed his stomach with his hand, “Damn that’s vile!”
“Mr. President, the Earth Security Council sent a communication request.”
The Secretary of State relayed the information to the president.
The so-called ‘Earth Security Council’ was an organization initiated by the world’s most powerful countries. The organization’s members were the highest leaders of major countries, and its role was to communicate intelligence between states whenever a supernatural disaster occurred.
“Bring it in.”
The President of the United States of America held his forehead. He had already guessed what he was going to face next.

“Half a month ago, the hegemony of the United States almost brought an end to humanity, are you planning to repeat it again?!”
“Why is it the United States again? What did your Seventh Fleet do?”
“Did you guys go to salvage that meteorite?”
“We can’t keep wiping your asses!”
“......”
The video conference of the Earth Security Council had just started, but the President of the United States was immediately accused by the world’s major powers. The President covered his face and let out an annoyed voice, “I also want to ask why the United States of America, what exactly did we do wrong?! Could it be because we made too many Hollywood movies?!”
“I swear to God, we really did nothing this time. Our Seventh Fleet was only on standby and monitoring the sea where the meteorite fell. That monster just appeared somehow!”
Seeing the President of the United States almost let go of his image and shout at the top of his voice, the leaders of the other countries knew that they might really be wrong about the United States this time.
“Okay, we’ll believe you… Now is not the time to find the cause of the monster’s appearance. We should first try to recognize what that monster is.”
“After obtaining the news of those monsters appearing in Hawaii, our country has taken the initiative to send its images to the mythologists. I think all countries should have done the same. This monster is really disgusting. I suspect that it’s related to the Cthulhu mythos, do you all have any new information?”
“There’s no need for that, we have already checked the monster’s information. After some comparison, we have deemed that it’s not an evil god of the Cthulhu mythos…”
The Italian Prime Minister took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, “It’s a demon of Greek mythology and a member of the Titans. It’s known as the ancestor of all demons, the Father of Demons, Typhon!”
