World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 768 - 551 Gatekeeper (Two in One)_2

Moreover, it wasn’t just within the Abnormality Department; even the Star Alliance had sent word, telling him that his performance was very commendable and that he would receive a reward from the Star Lord.

After all, Beelu was the first one to report the incident in Pratt Town to the organization.

It was his report that allowed the organization to learn about the situation there in a timely manner and to deploy successfully, preventing the situation from worsening.

Therefore, a deserved reward was certainly in order.

This also made Zhang Xiaoman even more supportive of the spokesperson plan proposed by Ye Yunxiu.

Of course, other countries were naturally paying attention to the events here as well.

However, due to America’s detailed secrecy plans, the information obtained by others wasn’t much.

On the other hand, because of the Star Alliance, the Abnormality Department knew slightly more.

They were also aware of the existence of the Holy Angel and urgently convened a meeting to discuss it.

Aside from the secret investigations conducted by the countries, the internet was also abuzz once again due to this incident.

Initially, the appearance of Stone Statue Demons in Pratt Town hadn’t attracted much notice.

The place was simply too remote.

Even when the Thunder Giant appeared later and summoned a hundred-kilometer radius of dark clouds, no one suspected anything.

The issue became serious only after the Holy Angel appeared.

To eliminate all the small Stone Statue Demons, it launched a major attack, and a wide range of light screens instantly enveloped the entirety of America.

Even those who weren’t usually concerned knew there had to be something mysterious afoot.

It was now prime time in the evening.

A large number of American citizens gave up their usual entertainment and flocked to various websites and forums en masse, starting to discuss the intense light phenomenon.

"Everyone, I live on a farm in Kampas State, and this evening while I was out for a walk after dinner, I accidentally filmed the events taking place in the distant sky; believe me, it’s beyond your imagination!"

On the headlines of a major video website, an uploader posted a video recorded on a mobile phone.

After being uploaded, the video was clicked, shared, and reposted frantically, quickly landing on the front page of the website.

In the video, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and thunder rolled ominously.

It felt as if at any moment, the clouds would pour down, giving the viewer a feeling of breathlessness at just a glimpse.

The videographer’s technique was quite unprofessional.

The frame was terribly shaky, seemingly taken while running, with the sound of heavy breathing heard throughout.

This went on for about two minutes.

Then, just when the viewer also started to feel a bit uncomfortable, the video suddenly changed.

In the distant sky, a flash of bright radiance appeared, like an energy shockwave, and in an instant, it swept across the entire sky.

All the dark clouds and thunderstorm were dispersed at the same time, like graffiti erased from white paper, leaving no trace.

"OMG!! OMG!!"

Cries of astonishment appropriately erupted in the video.

The imagery was too mystical, and even many people watching the video on their computers and phones couldn’t help but exclaim.

Unlike the intense light seen in other places, the strong light captured by the video uploader directly swept away the dark clouds in the sky.

One second it was a scene of dark clouds pressing down on the city; the next, it was suddenly back to the original evening sunset.

Such a strong contrast was indeed too intense, making it somewhat difficult for people to adjust all at once.

It was precisely for this reason that the video received crazy recommendations and was shared, quickly shooting to the top headlines of the website.

The comment section, naturally, exploded with activity.

Everyone joined the discussion, eagerly sharing their speculations about that mysterious light.

"Brothers, do you think the light could be from some evil high-tech organization? Like in the movies about mutants, do they want to use the light to infect humans, turning them into mutants and assimilate the world into their own kind?"

"You make sense upstairs. Honestly, I feel like I’ve gained a faint strength inside my body. I’m trying to move the teacup on the table with my mind, and I think I might be the next telekinesis Controller."

"Exactly, I hope to have the ability for telepathy, so I can control my stupid teacher to give me an A on my year-end evaluation."

"..."

The thread seemed to have gone off-topic at this point.

The onlookers joined in the discussion, talking about what kind of superpower they would like to have and how they would use it if they did.

Finally, someone couldn’t stand it anymore and mocked in a comment:

"A bunch of brainless idiots, haven’t you thought about it? If that white light was the gene radiation from mutants, then what’s with the clouds that it dispersed? It’s obvious that the light was aimed at those clouds; otherwise, how would you explain the instant erasing of them?"

"Yes, I wanted to say this earlier, it definitely couldn’t be some mutant radiation. How could mutants possibly exist in this world? This is clearly the Holy Light from heaven, and the clouds represent the devil; the Light is to drive away the devil."

"Hahaha, the guy upstairs is so foolish he’s going to kill me with laughter. Even though the mutant theory is not reliable, it’s at least in the realm of science fiction, what you’re talking about with devils is pure fantasy. I’d rather believe in mutants existing in this world than any such thing as heaven, that’s just ridiculous!!"

He blasted the one promoting the Holy Light theory, which immediately led to a backlash from some other believers.

The comment section was a lively place of verbal sparring.

Finally, a new comment appeared.

This person didn’t discuss the origin of the light but instead pointed out carefully a detail in the video that everyone else, even the uploader, had overlooked.

"Stop arguing, everyone, just look at the 1:22 mark of the video, in the clouds in the sky, isn’t there a weird figure?"

What followed was a screenshot.

The screenshot had a red circle around a spot that indeed looked like a faint, blurry shadow.

With this comment, it immediately elicited a wave of exclamations.

"Fuck! I just went back to look, and it’s true! There’s actually a figure in there!"

"Shit! It scared me to death, did you see its wings!? That’s the devil!!!"

"Idiots! I’ve told you, there are no devils in this world, that’s definitely a mutant with wings!"

"..."

Veering off-topic is human nature, and the comment section once again became a battlefield between science fiction and fantasy.

However, if a member of the Star Alliance were present, they would have recognized the figure in the video as a Stone Statue Demon.

That guy must have been the one who initially escaped the encirclement.

Only to be swept by the Holy Angel’s light afterwards, he still couldn’t escape his ash-to-ashes fate.

Thus, the video capturing the clouds in the sky quickly rose to the top position on the website.

There were also many other similar videos with high popularity, but none contained the suspected monster figure captured by the first one.

The whole video website’s viewership that night broke the previous record, reaching a number that was astounding.

This made the big bosses behind it break into smiles.

Clearly, in a country like America, the power of the media is very strong.

The government couldn’t immediately shut down these media websites and their traffic, not to mention prohibiting people from discussing related topics.

This unique national circumstance led to a night-long frenzy of discussions about the incident.

Not just this video site, many other forums and communities were experiencing the same situation.

This also brought many international netizens into the fray, joining the discussions about the topic.
