Chapter 237 - The TRUTH (Kind Of...)



[Around the World]

Even though a lot has happened since almost two weeks ago, things have mostly returned to normal. Well \'mostly\' was the keyword here… the economic infrastructure was in complete tatters now. People were going to sleep with an empty stomach all around the world… ​​

Prices of food have risen up by several times, but it wasn\'t the end of the world. Food was still available, Governments from all over the world were helping the people in need but there was just too much demand, they were somehow meeting the ends.

Russia was the only country that was not affected by the crisis of their food, after all, Nemuri was never able to get into their warehouse through ownership and she had to give up sneaking around when Reo called her back for the Genosha trip. But Russia was facing something entirely different… they were facing economic collapse.

Russia\'s main source of income was their oil reserves, the same oil reserves that have gone dry all of a sudden. The higher-ups knew that some kind of foul play was involved but they simply did not have any idea who could do such a thing without raising the alarms. When Leviathan finally came forward with his first broadcast they decided to blame Reo for it… well technically they weren\'t wrong but they were definitely barking up the wrong tree.

The fuel rates in their country had gone sky high, the same fuel rates which had always remained dirt cheap. It was a devastating blow to their country\'s economy but there very little they could do. Russia might have been having it bad but there were two parts of the world where the people were even more devastated.

One such part of the world was the Middle-Eastern Countries, not only have they lost their food stocks, but they have also lost their precious fuel. In the Middle-Eastern countries, Food and water were scarce so they had to import them from other countries. If they lost their food and water… they could easily buy more food and water even if the prices were sky high but for that they needed money… Money was one thing they had but a lot of countries were making a fuss about taking their money… after all, it has lost its value, instead, in return, they wanted fuel…

Now, that their precious oil reserves were empty they had no way to complete those deals even if they wanted to do it so badly. But they weren\'t the ones who were having it the worst… yes, they were having problems but those can be managed.

The country which was having even more problems than the Middle-Eastern Countries was the country where all this shit began. Even though everyone followed America\'s lead and decided to treat mutants as animals, no one wanted to show any kind of support for America. In other words, America was thrown to the wolves…

Not only had they lost their food supply along with several other important resources, but they would have been able to sustain the country. The food they could manage after some sophisticated planning and management, even the other resources weren\'t that important… they had their own oil reserves, yes they would face huge problems to meet the market\'s demand but it was still manageable. But the problems came from the warheads and what happened in Nebraska City.

Most of their biggest cities, except New York, were sent into the stone age. It was something that would take decades to recover from. They were still calculating the damage that had been done to them… it was currently in the billions and the counter was still going up.

What hit them the hardest was what happened in Nebraska City, it was an utter shame to their pride and glory but what it did to the people in their country could not be reversed. The whole country was afraid that suddenly Leviathan was going to pop up and say that \'I am going to destroy your city\'. Everyone had seen what happened in Nebraska City, after all, it was being broadcasted.

Leviathan might have destroyed the city after the citizens were completely evacuated but it left a scar on people\'s minds. Even after that, there were a lot of casualties the army tried their best to fight him and he didn\'t even take a minute to completely obliterate the army.

They remember how Leviathan destroyed all of those 30 giant robots. So many people dead… it was a complete disaster, 8 fighter jets destroyed… thankfully the squad that had been sent to confront Leviathan on the roof was spared by him… nobody knew why he did that. Some think that it was just a whim while others think that Leviathan must have an ulterior motive.

But no matter what, the world was moving on… the process was very slow but it has still started. Everyone knew that they have to struggle quite a lot but no one wanted to give up. What has been done to them has crippled their societies but they believed that they could still move on.

Suddenly the TVs around the world started to make an odd noise… it was a familiar noise that everyone knew about by now but no one wanted to hear it again. People around the world immediately started to feel dread, God knows what Leviathan was going to do next? Is it going to be about the destruction of another city?

The noise finally stopped and the all too familiar face of Leviathan in his usual clothes showed up on the TV screens. "Good evening citizens of Earth… Today, I have come to explain my motivations… why I did, whatever I did. Most of you are wondering that I must be lying… I must be making a joke but I want you people to hear me out. What I am going to show next is going to be disturbing for most people and kids shouldn\'t even see something like this. So, I humbly request the parents to take away their kids. I will give you one minute" Leviathan said and a stopwatch showed up on the screen and started the countdown.

While Leviathan seemed to patiently wait for the countdown to stop the parents around the world were busy getting their kids away from the TV. The people around the world have already found out that Leviathan might be a demon, a monster but a liar he was not. They believed whatever Leviathan was going to show them was going to be very disturbing…

The countdown finally ended and Leviathan looked towards the camera. The people around the world were waiting with bated breath. "These are the personal files of General William Stryker, I would like to show the atrocities he has done throughout his life" Leviathan finished and the pictures of the files started to show up one by one, the experiments Stryker has done, the number of mutants he has cut apart for his research has come out to the public.

The plans of the murders of the Kelly Family and the President were shown in intricate detail. People were already crying in outrage and everyone from seeing the files knew that General Stryker was an American, and once again America was being blamed for their misery… if Robert Kelly hadn\'t proposed the Mutant Registration Act and if Stryker didn\'t kill the Kelly family and the First Lady for his advantage then all of them would have been fine and everything else would have been normal.

"Now, he wasn\'t the only one who did these kinds of atrocious things, there were several others and I assure you that your governments knew about all these projects and secretly supported and funded them" Leviathan said and the files of the U-Men experiments started to show up on the screen. What Leviathan said was a white lie about the Governments, no one knew about these experiments except Sublime and his U-Men.

Even after Sublime was dead, he was being used by Leviathan as a weapon. What Leviathan has just said will create mass panic among the people and they will start to loathe their own Governments even after they were under the effects of the mutant hating virus. They will blame their own governments and this will destabilize their countries and system even further. Just like Leviathan had planned people have started to react accordingly…

People around the world started to cry in outrage, they were out for the blood of whoever was responsible for doing all these disgusting things. The slideshow finally finished and everyone became silent once again… they wanted to hear what Leviathan wanted to say.

"After seeing all these I was unable to stop myself from doing anything… I have to do something. Now, that all of you have seen the truth behind my actions I will be bidding you all farewell, I hope that I don\'t have to do this again… please don\'t make me do what I have done once again" Leviathan said in a fake sad tone but people around the world believed him… that was everything Leviathan needed. With a smile on Leviathan\'s face, the broadcast finally ended…
