City of Witches - Chapter 1156
Episode 1156 #276_Prologue (4)

1.
When the first video of telekinesis through magic was released.
The world was plunged into a frenzy of joy.
The hottest reaction among them was, of course, various online communities.
Humankind still remembers the sinking of the 7th Fleet and the flooding that occurred last year.
It was an incident that completely uprooted their firm belief in being the top predators on Earth.
No matter how much they idealized and idolized witches through media including longing, it was an unforgettable wound.
At such a time, they realized that science and technology had pioneered an unknown technology….
The reactions that erupted everywhere were incomparable to the superconducting issue that had burned out some time ago.
-Are we Protoss?
-God exists and He operates a business in the US -Like a witch! Like a Hexen! Come out in public!!
-So now humans are using witches as personal Ona-holes?
-It’s not for nothing that the Celestial Dynasty is called the Celestial Dynasty. They succeeded in less than a year.
This heated support was immediately reflected in the stock market.
The company that owns the Lexion Institute is ‘MIRACLE-Y’, founded by an entrepreneur who is suspiciously fond of SNS.
The stock price of ‘MIRACLE-Y’, which had been steadily hitting rock bottom since its listing, showed an unprecedented surge.
It was a terrifying surge that even felt insane.
The entrepreneur, unable to hide his smugness, left a single line on his SNS with great bravado.
[BUY MIRACLE-Y]
Since this entrepreneur owned a whopping 27% of the total shares, he leisurely reclaimed his position as the world’s richest person in just 3 hours.
Amidst this festive atmosphere, another video was released.
In fact, it was a ridiculous video that was hard to believe seriously.
-?????????
-So…. in another worldline, bitches used witches as public ona-holes. And the witch leader ran away because she was scared of that?
-Do you believe that?
-The video also showed the Pink Peacock and the Black Knight. So it’s not something that was simply manipulated by Hexennacht?
-Isn’t that likely? The witch who sank the strongest fleet is struggling like that?
-If someone asks about the future of humanity, just raise your head and look at the Holy X Church.
-Science addiction overdose -Everyone, come to the singularity is coming gallery -Apprentice witches are so pitiful -What’s so pitiful about those witch bitches? They were just getting fucked.
At first, everyone thought it was a kind of happening.
There were many dubious aspects, and the festive atmosphere was already crazy.
Since they were able to wash away the powerlessness and cosmic horror they had tasted for the past six months with ‘Wow, humans are amazing!’, they didn’t really care about the details.
The eccentric entrepreneur tagged the video on his SNS and openly made fun of the beak of disaster.
[Did I do that?]
The stock price of MIRACLE-Y rose a little faster.
-Hey, aren’t we fucked?
A single stream of doubt flowed through the festive atmosphere of the Internet.
-Let’s say that in another worldline, humans conquered witches. But now? The technology to lift a small cube with such a large machine was all they had.
-Realistically, is there any way for current humans to deal with witches? Against witches who can destroy entire carrier groups on their own?
-If humans develop their technology, they can conquer witches or whatever, just like in that video.
-Think about it.
-Think about it.
-Similar things happened in various parts of the Second World, which had been known as a playground for public figures.
In Russia, the witch Orcelia Limos tracked down the dictator and declared that she would find him within 8 hours after surviving a nuclear attack. The dictator used nuclear weapons, but Orcelia absorbed the nuclear explosion and killed the dictator. The branch offices of Location Point in other countries have not moved yet.
-Imagine that you are a witch.
-Would you leave humans alone now?
It didn’t come out of one person’s mouth.
Whenever there is such a happening, a discourse that warns of a sense of crisis is easily formed anywhere.
However, on the Internet, which was intoxicated with a sense of victory, such concerns were dismissed as ‘nonsense’.
-What are you talking about, you cowards? -There is always a guy who ruins the mood like that. -Gehenna is on the human side, so what does it matter? Hexennacht will be fucked by Gehenna anyway. -No, that Gehenna is a witch, you idiots. -On the contrary, from the witches’ point of view, it’s just a cube. Do you think they would feel a sense of crisis with just that?
-I believe in Duke Tiphereth~ -That’s right, the pink duke appears in the video. Didn’t you already know? Nothing has happened so far, has it?
This optimism was, in some ways, the result of the ‘witch idealization’ fostered by various media.
Gehenna is a group of good-natured, world-cool beauty heroes who help humans.
This kind of consciousness was already embedded in the subconscious.
MIRACLE-Y’s high-altitude march has been halted, but its stock price is still rising.
However, this optimism did not last long.
It was also proven not to be nonsense.
Hexennacht moved.
It started in Mexico City.
Contrary to the image of Central and South America, an extraordinary group of witches appeared in the middle of a well-maintained metropolitan skyscraper that was famous worldwide.
A white tree shape on a black background.
The Cliphot Strike Force, wearing cloaks with the symbol of the Cliphot, killed and took hostage any civilians they could see and headed for the Mexican government headquarters, ‘Palacio Nacional’.
Since Mexico City is the capital, all the headquarters of the army, navy, and air force are gathered there.
In addition, the security forces that had been strengthened by the recent series of events and the military power of the garrisonwere not something to be taken lightly.
Martial law was declared in the city to block the five witches who were deliberately heading straight for the government building, and armored vehicles lined up to form a defensive line.
However, the strike force, which consisted of only one 20th-order witch and four others, neutralized all resistance more easily than drinking lukewarm water.
The footage, which was being transmitted in real time, was filled with the screams of soldiers, explosions, destruction and flames, and the ruthlessness of the angry transcendentals.
There was no time to take care of anything.
Realizing that they could not stop them on their own, the government screamed and sent a distress call to the nearby location point.
However, not a single branch office of Location Point responded.
No righteous witch appeared to stop the strike force.
The strike force neutralized the insignificant resistance and captured high-ranking officials who were trying to escape to bunkers or foreign countries and put them in front of the camera.
About half of them met a gruesome death, and the rest begged for their lives with faces smeared with tears and snot.
“Until now, humans have enjoyed freedom and indulgence without paying any price.”
“But that ends today.”
“Swear your allegiance and bow your heads. Otherwise, your tomorrow will be filled with nothing but despair.”
In just half a day, the largest country in Central America fell to the witches’ puppet state.
This was just the beginning.
Similar things happened all over the world, in the Second World, which had been known as a playground for the privileged.
A group of witches had crushed the national defense of the relevant country head-on and overthrown the state.
This was both a show of force, asking ‘What can you do about it?’, and a declaration of ‘You’re screwed.’
Russia, which had once divided the world with the United States, was no exception.
However, in the case of Russia, there was a special event involved.
“From now on, I’ll find that dictator who’s playing hide-and-seek within 24 hours. Let’s play hide-and-seek.”
Orselia Limos, the ‘Witch of Proverbs’ who was better known as an ancient witch, came out in person.
This indicated that Hexennacht, which had been divided into four or five factions, had united under the banner of ‘Let’s conquer the world’ due to this incident.
Orselia intentionally gave him enough time and sent out a live broadcast as if nothing had happened.
The dictator of Russia had already confirmed the power of the witches through various reports.
Convinced that he could not stop the transcendentals with ordinary military force, he made a bold decision.
He fired the worst weapon ever created by human intelligence.
Of course, even a seasoned dictator wouldn’t have done this on his own without any reason.
This was done with a certain degree of tacit agreement from mankind.
The great powers had learned from their own history that the weak, who had no ability to resist, were subjected to terrible persecution by the strong.
They understood that they could negotiate, even if it was just a gesture, if they gave them ‘one shot’, rather than making a humiliating declaration of surrender later on.
The crazy idea of firing a nuke on his own territory was a desperate measure made possible because Orselia had revealed her presence in the middle of a dangerous area.
The most powerful 1Mt-class nuclear weapon in active service was detonated right above Orselia’s head.
A shockwave that scorched the earth for several kilometers, a sphere of light that vaporized everything it touched, and thermal radiation of 2,000 degrees Celsius that threatened lives even with indirect exposure.
The power of 1 million tons of TNT was poured onto a single person.
Until the giant mushroom cloud created by the oxygen in the epicenter burning up and the air being sucked up was broadcast by the broadcasting station’s drone, all of humanity thought that even a transcendental could never survive under such power.
However.
The mushroom cloud turned a deep purple.
With a disgusting sound of something being devoured, the mushroom cloud, which had been ‘eaten’ from the tip, disappeared cleanly in less than 30 seconds.
As if it had never been there in the first place.
“8 hours left.”
Orselia’s refreshed appearance was broadcast live again after the connection was briefly cut off.
“I found him. Oh, there are other people too?”
As promised, Orselia found the dictator hiding deep in a nuclear bunker and the ministers who were loyal to him 8 hours later.
She hummed a cheerful tune amidst the screams and ate the thin human flesh as a snack.
48 hours had passed since then.
No positional point branch had moved yet.
