Chapter 315 - 314 Alliance


At two o'clock in the morning, the anxious global populace finally received the official response they had been waiting for. The United Nations Organization had urgently established a committee concerning the anomalous event in the Misty Territory and, under this committee, initiated related organizational efforts. One of these tasks was to explain the event to the global population.


Coordinated by the committee, official agencies from various civilized nations utilized emergency systems to send urgent messages to their citizens, informing them to prepare their information-receiving devices to watch or listen to the committee's statement in twenty minutes. Internet video platforms, social networking sites, television stations, and radio stations all cooperated fully with the committee's work.


Twenty minutes later, the signal interrupted billions of computers, televisions, radios, and mobile phones. The video feed showed a modest office within the United Nations Headquarters. In the center of the frame was the spokesperson urgently appointed by the committee.


"This is the United Nations Special Event Coordination Committee, and we are now making a statement to the global population.


"At Yin City local time, in the early morning of October 12, 2019, an anomaly occurred. The anomalous phenomenon consisted of a dense fog surging from the city center. A special lifeform, resembling a Giant Dragon from traditional Eastern motifs, flew out of this mist. Above the Giant Dragon's head was a source emitting high-intensity light and heat. After special processing of photographs, we can confirm that this light source is an East Asian girl, of slender build and 151 centimeters in height.


"Current information collection results indicate this phenomenon is not a collective illusion. Throughout East Asia, various observers and instruments in multiple locations have provided observation reports and video footage.


"The lifeform resembling a Giant Dragon traveled at speeds between Mach 33 and Mach 70, rapidly departing the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere. It eventually exited Earth's space. To reach the Moon's orbit, it employed a mode of movement characterized as 'discontinuous instantaneous teleportation.'


"According to information from lunar orbit Detectors and other reconnaissance devices, the Giant Dragon lifeform landed on the Moon's surface at 1:07:48 AM, Yin City local time, on October 12, 2019. During the landing, the humanoid girl riding on the Giant Dragon's back stopped emitting light and heat and appeared to converse with the Giant Dragon. Due to the absence of human-made landers or lunar rovers at the site, direct contact was impossible, and the content of their conversation could not be observed.


"They ignored satellite Detectors and radio communications transmitted to them along their path. Therefore, we provisionally assume they either lack the capability or the willingness to establish communication with any human party.


"Three minutes and twelve seconds later, the conversation between the Giant Dragon and the humanoid girl ceased. The Giant Dragon then began to exhale smoke from its nostrils and mouth. This smoke, through some unknown mechanism, formed an intricate architectural complex resembling ancient Eastern palaces. This complex expanded rapidly, stopping after 58 minutes. The highest point of the palace-like structure reached 1,800 meters, with an overall diameter of 80 kilometers, making it slightly smaller than the Copernicus Lunar Crater.


"During the expansion of this architectural complex, both the Giant Dragon and the humanoid girl became obscured by the mist, which could not be directly penetrated.


"Currently, space agencies from various countries are actively formulating plans to explore the Moon and attempt to make contact with the humanoid entity. All lunar missions will be coordinated by the United Nations Outer Space Management Office.


The spokesperson paused, glanced again at the statement, and continued slowly, "Ten months ago, organizations in various countries began receiving reports of special events. These events manifest in diverse forms:


"Ordinary humans have developed special abilities, such as storing objects in anomalous spaces at will, possessing strength and speed beyond theoretical human limits, or generating fire from nothing.


"There are multiple reports of anomalous spatial structures, including spaces isolated from one another and unable to interact, as well as overlapping spaces.


"Eyewitness reports describe various special life forms, including "Demons," "Ghouls," "Bigfoot," "Ghosts," and "Zombies."


"The suspected cause of these special events is an anomalous activity known as the 'Kill Field Game.' Its primary mode involves randomly selecting life forms from Earth's ecosystem, granting them 'Player Status,' and compelling them to undertake special activities designated as 'Missions.' Upon completion of these Missions, 'Players' receive special equipment and items possessing anomalous properties.


"Officials from various countries have identified the Kill Field Game as an exceptionally unique event capable of significantly impacting the real world. This phenomenon far surpasses the current theoretical scientific understanding of Earth's civilization. According to related experimental reports and analyses of historical documents, the Kill Field Game has existed on Earth for a vast period, potentially for billions of years. It is highly probable that it has exerted a major influence on the evolution of Earth's ecological environment.


"Currently, it is impossible to confirm the identities of the planners, organizers, or maintainers of the Kill Field Game, nor can we ascertain the methods, means, or objectives behind its continuation. However, after several months of investigation and analysis by various organizations, it is evident that the Kill Field Game presents both clear opportunities and significant dangers.


"The emergence of numerous supernatural, parascientific, and paratechnological individuals poses a clear and present danger to human survival. National organizations, hindered by nationalism and international conflicts, find themselves unable to independently address these supernatural and parascientific events, nor can they adequately counter the potential threats arising from widespread anomalous activity. Consequently, the safety and security of the global population are, in fact, already threatened by such events. It is believed that these threats will continue to grow and intensify over time.


"The protection of humanity's collective destiny must transcend the self-interests of any nation, region, or culture. In the face of widespread supernatural occurrences, humanity must unite to defend our shared home and our future. Anyone attempting to undermine this unity will be considered a threat to the collective destiny of humankind.


"To more effectively manage supernatural events and their far-reaching impacts, the United Nations has established the Special Event Coordination Committee. Under this committee's authority, an international organization has been chartered. Its purpose is to analyze the entities involved in these supernatural events and to contain, control, and study the ensuing threats.


"This new organization will possess supreme authority in such matters, superseding all national governments, existing international bodies, and other interest groups. This international organization is provisionally named the Global Occult Coalition.


"The Global Occult Coalition is intended to serve as the United Nations' independent 'Aegis of Zeus.' Therefore, it shall be permanently provided with all necessary resources. Furthermore, this organization is empowered to use any means deemed essential to maintain global peace amidst supernatural events, protect the lives of the global populace, and safeguard the future of human civilization.


"This concludes the statement from the United Nations Special Event Coordination Committee regarding the Yin City anomaly. Thank you for your attention.


"Further information will be released to the public in the coming months through official channels of various countries, the United Nations Special Event Coordination Committee, and the Global Occult Coalition. Relevant documents will also be made available for public access on designated websites."
