Chapter 959 End of Book 14:: Start of a New Era

Throughout the whole world, people were watching the current scene in the Tokyo Dome. And because only the press was allowed to enter the establishment, the 40,000 seats felt a bit empty.

On the outside, however, thousands of people had gathered for this momentous event with most of them being devout believers of different religions. With the amount of visible security in the vicinity, there’d be no stopping them if they decided to rush in. But only if the organizers were using Human methods.

A thin barrier separated the Tokyo Dome from the people and if there was a threat of a stampede, multiple spells were also prepared to separate the crowd with healers stationed all around in case of injury or health problems.

Just this arrangement was enough for the people to see the potential of Magic and how much it could advance civilization as a whole. Then again, the big question is why they were left in the dark all this time?

After a while, the organizer of this press conference stepped up and raised his voice, “Silence!”

His voice carried Magic that spread everywhere and made all the murmuring and flashes stop. But unlike normal Sound Magic that carried forcefulness against normal people, his voice was soothing and instead calmed everyone. He was one of the new receivers of the Soul Gear that could develop depending on one’s aptitude and his had transformed into that of a simple necklace that puts various powers into his voice.

Although not very strong, it was useful in many scenarios, especially in diplomatic talks. He’s also one of the registered safe Soul Gear users as his power doesn’t actually compel anyone but only gives him a favorable impression at most.

Immediately after, the organizer stepped down and gave the stage to the three leaders.

The one in the middle, Gabriel, walked to the center of the stage while radiating with Holy Aura and made everyone feel a pleasant warmth, “Good day everyone.” But immediately after her greeting, Gabriel’s expression changed to that of regret, “First, I’d like to apologize for letting the situation devolve into what it is now. It was our oversight and-”

However, her words were interrupted by a large, blaring siren.

“An air raid?” One of the journalists muttered in nervousness and before they could discuss what was going on, one of the organizers came running in full panic while shouting, “Ms. Gabriel! This is bad! A nuclear warhead is headed this way!”

Kisuke who was watching this chuckled to himself, “What a bad actor.” But after seeing this, he finally figured out what they were trying to do.

That announcement sent everyone into a panic too and strangely enough, his voice was also carried to the thousands of people outside but no one really has enough time to think about this small detail.

At that time, Gabriel raised her hand and Holy Aura exploded from her hand, covering everyone, “Please calm down, everyone.”

They are still panicking, but thanks to Gabriel’s Magic, they were able to regain some reason, “How could we calm down!? It’s a nuclear warhead! Unless it’s intercepted, we are all going to die here!” One of them shot back.

Gabriel smiled wryly but she didn’t try to explain herself anymore and just turned to her left, “Is… Mr. Crimson, if you please.”

The man in full crimson armor nodded to her before turning to the guy that came in and asked in a very deep voice, “From which direction is it coming?”

“…Y-yes?… Ummh, I mean two originated from the vicinity of Palau while three were detected launched from the Bering Sea!”

It looks like Mr. Crimson had studied Geography well, as he was able to immediately figure out which direction they were coming from, “South and Northeastern, huh… This is troublesome…” He said while rubbing the chin of his helmet.

Everyone wondered what he was going to use that information for but while Mr. Crimson was struggling, the roof of the stadium was blasted open with an explosion. The people inside screamed at the top of their lungs and started running away like headless chickens to avoid the falling debris. But before any accident could happen, Shemhazai immediately shielded everyone from harm using a barrier, “…Please, Mr. White. There’s a proper entrance.”, he said while sighing.

On the newly opened roof, a full white and winged armored man came floating down, “I came because it looks like you need some assistance.”

“They even managed to pull Vali-san into this play? They’re pulling out all the stops!” Kisuke commented on his appearance.

With the whole world watching, Mr. Crimson and Mr. White both flew out of the dome and used their Longinus Smasher in opposite directions. A minute later, confirmation of intercepted nuclear warheads was announced causing everyone to cheer.

Nevertheless, the attack didn’t end there as hundreds of missiles also came flying in from Japanese shores. This time, the two Devil Kings didn’t have to move as inhabitants of the Supernatural World moved to secure the whole nation.

Kisuke then reached out to his remote and turned off the television. He already lost interest because he already knew how this was going to end so he’d rather spend his time in a more meaningful way. Naturally, the press conference was also canceled and moved to another date.

The next day, Kisuke turned on the news again to hear additional information. The intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles came from a number of hijacked nuclear submarines and the hundreds of Sea-to-Surface missiles also came from the hijacked fleets that originated from many countries.

Although there was no damage from the nuclear warheads, several areas were leveled by the missiles, but miraculously, there were zero casualties.

‘By announcing that the leaders would do a press conference, the radicals saw that as a big chance to prove that they were not invincible. Even then, there would be no way for them to get hold of the strongest weapons of mankind without any kind of assistance.’, thought Kisuke while listening.

Of course, he knew that those who supported them were the Alliance themselves. By giving them the chance and giving them the tools, they were able to push the radicals to move. And by catching them in the act, they were able to round most of them up while also presenting themselves as heroes while showing the enormous difference in power that even Humanity’s strongest sword couldn’t hurt them.

And the reason why there were damages despite them being fully capable of mitigating it is that they also wanted to show that they were not omnipotent or omniscient. This, in turn, will make them look like they still have weaknesses and they’d be more relatable instead of untouchable and the masses would feel intimidated and oppressed.

This day, in the history books, would mark the start of the transition from a pure Science civilization into a Magic-Science civilization.
