"The tenth Monarch Zong Yan is missing." He Yuan nodded at the senior investigator and pressed his headset with one hand. "Wait... We've lost contact with satellites worldwide?"

These days, countless satellites circled the Earth, not just those of the United States, but also ones belonging to the former Soviet Union, the European Union, and China. It could be said that many of the most powerful countries had their own satellite systems.

Satellites didn't just provide convenient services to average citizens. They were also an important strategic resource. In the event of a third World War, satellites would be the first to bear the brunt. Anti-missile technology based on satellites was very mature at present. For example, if the United States launched a missile from its mainland toward Asia, the missile might be detected by a satellite system and shot down in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. As long as a nation mastered this technology, its enemies wouldn't be able to get a missile into its territory.

But if satellites couldn't be contacted all over the world...

He Yuan drew a cold breath.

He remembered the speculation from before.

"The ghouls in New York City were performing a summoning ritual. The evil god they worship is Mordiggian, the famed King of Ghouls. If the summoning is successful, the evil god himself will descend from outer space—"

The investigators' pupils shrank.

According to secret case files and documents stored in MU, there was evidence that evil gods could cause devastating damage and disturbances to the Earth's magnetic field.

Especially the true body of an evil god.

Mass was a constant throughout the universe. The greater the mass of an object, the greater its gravitational force.

A paper had been published by a great Miskatonic mathematician about the effects the body of an evil god would have if it arrived on Earth.

The first of these effects was on the magnetic field. An object with enough mass could cause the collapse of the magnetic field of the Earth.

The people on the ground looked up. Their faces were pale.

This was the real and genuine fear that humans felt in the face of irresistible power.

In the White House there was silence.

After a long time, the man in charge said, "Well?"

It was a scene that might go down in history. But the situation was so urgent no one was thinking about that now.

The leaders of the world's most powerful countries were gathered together, using holographic projections and teleconferencing to facilitate face-to-face communication.

With all satellites out of action and even the space station unable to be contacted, humankind had finally realized something was terribly wrong.

In addition to the leaders of various countries, senior members of the occult world also participated in the meeting.

"Right now, any time we try to send an electromagnetic signal from the planet, it disappears like a stone sinking into the sea."

"We've lost contact with our fighter jets!"

"We received a message from the observatory that they're being hampered by weather conditions."

"Then use a different observatory! Contact one in a different country!"

Every nation was pressed for time. Commands were issued one after another.

"Report—There are strange movements in the South Pacific!"
