Chapter 739: Chapter 739: One Month Time Period
At first, they seemed insignificant.
Groups of humans had suddenly started hunting mutated beasts and mutated plants with unusual aggression.
Many of them ignored the danger entirely. Some even willingly risked their lives. The strangest part was their target selection.
Almost every creature they hunted possessed exceptionally powerful cores. It was as though somebody had specifically instructed them to gather those resources.
While reviewing the reports, Ivy’s expression gradually darkened. A feeling of unease settled in her stomach.
"This doesn’t feel right."
Silas nodded. His expression had become equally grim. "I was thinking the same thing."
He had already contacted government officials and instructed them to remain on standby.
Meanwhile, efforts to stop Tammy, Coco, and Nanami from expanding their influence continued.
Unfortunately, controlling the human puppets remained extremely difficult. Despite all their preparations, the situation continued to worsen.
Then something even stranger happened. Several months earlier, isolated incidents had already begun appearing.
Now those incidents were spreading worldwide. Large numbers of people suddenly abandoned their identities.
They openly declared themselves servants of the superior beings. The phenomenon was not limited to one nation.
It appeared everywhere. Videos flooded the internet. In each recording, the individuals spoke with the same eerie tone.
It was almost as though someone else was speaking through them.
"This Earth will soon be destroyed. If you wish to survive, willingly dedicate yourselves to the superior beings."
The moment those words were spoken, the screen shifted, revealing a breathtaking woman standing before the camera.
She looked as though moonlight itself had descended upon the earth and taken human form.
Her straight silver hair flowed down her back like liquid silk, making her seem far more ethereal than any ordinary human.
Her flawless features carried an almost unnatural perfection that made it difficult for people to look away.
Looking directly into the camera, she wore a confident smile and declared,
"Most of you probably do not know me, but my name is Tammy. I am a superior being. I come from a different planet, and very soon, we are going to take over Earth."
The moment those words left her mouth, countless viewers burst into laughter.
Many assumed the video was nothing more than entertainment.
Some thought it was a marketing stunt, while others believed it was part of a role-playing event or perhaps a promotional campaign for an upcoming movie.
However, they were proven wrong almost immediately.
Tammy let out a soft chuckle before stepping away from the camera. The recording device slowly shifted its angle, and she glanced toward it with calm confidence.
"Today," she announced, "I am going to show you exactly who I am and what I am capable of."
With those words, the camera turned around.
The next moment, thousands of humans appeared on screen. freewebnøvel.com
An eerie silence spread among viewers.
The footage showed a massive crowd stretching as far as the eye could see.
Men and women of all ages were kneeling on the ground.
Tammy raised her voice. "Who will rule this world?"
The instant she spoke, every single human shouted in unison. "Superior Beings!"
What frightened viewers the most were their eyes. They appeared completely vacant, devoid of emotion or independent thought, as though their minds had already been taken away.
The video instantly sparked endless controversy across the internet.
Comment sections exploded with activity.
Some people argued that it was merely a gimmick designed to attract attention.
Others insisted that it had to be footage from a movie or television series.
"This level of editing is insane. There is no way this is real."
"Whoever made this deserves an award."
Yet not everyone felt reassured.
Many viewers reported a strange sense of unease after watching the footage.
Some admitted that they could not explain why, but their instincts kept warning them that something terrible was about to happen.
"It feels like the apocalypse all over again. I cannot stop feeling nervous."
"Why does this look so real?"
A few people even fell into despair.
"We finally survived one apocalypse, and now this happens?"
"Does God truly not want humanity to survive?" freewebnovel.cσ๓
When Ivy watched the video, she immediately understood what Tammy was doing.
Tammy was openly issuing a challenge to humanity.
Taking a deep breath, Ivy prepared to issue orders to Martha. However, before she could do so, she realized that Silas had already taken control of the situation.
Silass stood before the barracks, issuing orders one after another.
"Keep all soldiers on standby. Increase surveillance. Coordinate with every available department. Maintain communication channels at all times."
Seeing everything being managed so efficiently, Ivy felt some of the tension leave her chest.
Her racing heart finally slowed.
Still, she knew it was far too early to relax.
A day later, Tammy delivered another shocking announcement.
This time, her message was direct. Anyone who willingly submitted would be allowed to remain alive after one month.
However, anyone who resisted, ignored her offer, or continued opposing her would be cast into hell once the deadline expired.
The ultimatum spread throughout the world like wildfire. Many humans traveled to the location Tammy had revealed.
Some went out of curiosity. Others wished to worship her. A few simply wanted answers.
There were also those with far darker intentions. One of them was a man named Jackal.
His real name was Jacky Sutton.
He was a notorious criminal whose reputation alone was enough to make many people shudder.
As he approached the designated location, he saw Tammy seated upon a magnificent throne. Around her stood numerous humans who gazed at her with admiration and devotion.
Seeing the scene, Jackal could not help but laugh.
Standing beside him were several companions he had gathered during the apocalypse.
Rather than helping others survive, they had spent their time preying upon the weak and exploiting vulnerable people whenever opportunities arose.
They also raped many women and boasted about it proudly. In their twisted minds, women existed solely to satisfy their desires.
The moment they saw Tammy’s extraordinary beauty, only a single thought entered their minds.
