Chapter 195 - ULTIMATUM

A/N: Readers I know that my English leaves much to be desired for but honestly, I try my best. If someone mentions my mistake the I correct it but if you are reading this fanfic then you must have read the description, I have clearly mentioned that my grammar is really bad so please don't come here to just mention that my grammar is bad.

Akisu is a reader, who reads my chapters and mentions every mistake I have made in that paragraph and I am really grateful to him for doing that. It is a non-thanking job and he takes out his time to correct them and I really appreciate that. I fix all the chapter after he mentions them. ​​

You have to understand that I am not good in English, so if you can't overlook my grammatical errors then this fanfic is not for you. I also have a lot of typos sometimes, it is because I use my mobile to write. If you are complaining then please mention the mistakes so I can fix them, I would appreciate that.

[Around the World]

It was absolute hell around the world, riots were happening all around the world. Thieving and looting were pretty common now, one day, it took only one day for someone to destroy their society that they had worked so hard to build.

All the world leaders were completely silent because they had no answers. After all, they can't just produce everything that was stolen out of thin air. They had no idea who did this. They have long forgotten about mutants, after all, someone had given them a much bigger fish to fry. A fish that cannot be ignored.

In several countries, it was night when the disaster struck but they have also received the damage equally. The human society was now delicately balanced and each country was a link making up the balance and the attacker destroyed all of their links.

In this Era, no country could survive on its own, so if a country wasn't damaged like the others, it was still crippled. In some countries, it was morning, while in some others it was midnight, while in some others it was just evening but something similar was happening all of a sudden in all of those countries.

In all the countries the TVs started to make an odd noise gaining everyone's attention. The switched-off TVs started on their own and started to make that same odd noise… it was creepy but everyone knew that something was happening. The people who were already watching the news found themselves unable to change anything on their TV. Those TVs also started to make that odd noise gaining everyone's attention.

Finally, a feed came and everyone saw a man with black hair and black eyes dressed like a mafioso appear on the screen. The man had a gentle smile on his face, everyone was paying rapt attention towards the TVs.

"Good evening my fellow citizens of Earth, you can call me Leviathan, please forgive me for this interruption but I had something important to discuss with all of you" the man on the TV spoke in a gentle tone but for whatever reason, everyone felt scared.

"I am not happy with all of you, what you have done angered me, I didn't want to involve myself but I have no other option left. I had to act so I did, and now here we are. I have to say I got much better results than I wanted… now you must be wondering what I did… well, everything that happened to you today was done by me" the man said in a similar gentle tone but rage and anger were the only emotions he recieved from everywhere around the world. Some threw stones at those TVs and some cursed the man for their misery but the man still had a gentle smile on his face.

"But" the man began again and the crowd again became silent to hear. "I am not finished, in fact, this is just the beginning. You see, there is a simple law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. My doings are only the opposite reaction of your actions. Now, most of you would be thinking what your action was to warrant such a reaction from me… it is quite simple" the man continued to speak in a gentle tone. There was no malice in his voice… everyone in the world now had a look of fear and worry on their faces.

"Mutants, I am doing this because of how you treated mutants or meta-humans how I like to refer to them. Meta-humans, is much better, isn't it? Ooh, sorry you can't answer but I am quite sure that meta-humans would understand my words" the man continued speaking with a smile on his face.

"Please, don't blame me for doing this to you… blame your country leaders, they did this to you. They are the ones who destroyed your lives… they are the ones responsible for your misery" the man said and paused for a few seconds. No one reacted this time, everyone held their breath but all of their rage and anger turned towards their country leaders. The same leaders they supported a week ago when they declared that mutants would be exiled from their countries.

"Now, let's talk about what I want, I want every country to escort the meta-humans to these following locations, of course with utmost care or I will be angry again. Meta-humans are also welcome to come by themselves" then a list of places appeared on the TVs, the list of locations was specific for each country.

(A/N: Author is very weak after he survived from the attacks from Lord Cliff and Cliff-Thanos, so author is unable to write down those names)

"Many of the country leaders would scoff at me or just laugh at my demand, I can't let that happen now, can I? This time it will be also you people who will pay the price if your country leader does not listen to my demands. Ah… but of course, I must give some proof… after all, proofs are something very important in this world" the man continued in his gentle tone. Everyone was shaking in fear and horror now.

"Then, let's make an example, I also know that the United States of America has decided to become my example. After all, the United States of America was the first country to act against meta-humans" the man said, everyone from the US was completely horrified. The screen changed and a warhead appeared on the display. The warhead was immediately launched and the screen changed and the point of view from the warhead was displayed.

"Now, please, don't worry, I am a peace-loving guy, this is not a nuclear warhead, this is an E.M.P. warhead strong enough to destroy everything electrical within a city like New York. My first target is Las Vegas, after all, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" the man's voice was heard and after the man finished speaking he laughed gently. But none of the humans felt any kind of similar emotion.

The people of Las Vegas were the most scared, people of Las Vegas finally saw something like a falling star coming towards them. No one needed to be told that it was the E.M.P. warhead that was launched. People in Las Vegas started running for cover… even if they knew what this warhead was going to do they still decided to hide. People from the rest of the world held their breath, the warhead finally exploded above the city and the image turned to a satellite image which showed the impact and how a city like Las Vegas became completely dark.

"Ah, now that you have seen I wasn't lying, let's return to our previous topic. I had a total of 100 such warheads, since I used one I only have 99 left now. Now, the reason I told you the numbers is very important… please listen carefully. My eyes are everywhere and as I have said I want all the meta-humans escorted with utmost care but there might be someone who could get some ideas… I told you the numbers to deter such things from happening" the man said in a mock sad tone. Everyone around the world except Las Vegas gulped in fear. No, one in Las Vegas reacted because they had no working TVs or radios so obviously they missed whatever the man was saying.

"Whenever a mutant is roughly treated, now let me explain what I consider roughly treated. Things like slaps, pushes, cuffs are my bottom line, whenever anything like this will happen I will launch one of these warheads towards one of your biggest cities. Of course, it will be launched towards the country where this previously mentioned crime was committed" the man said and by now no one wanted to attack any mutant.

"So, the numbers were important because only 99 are… ooh, sorry someone in Russia thought I was bluffing so only 98 warheads are left now. This is important, as soon as, these 98 warheads are also gone I will start attacking one city of the countries who will continue the attacks and believe me I will massacre the whole city… please don't blame me, after all, if that massacre happens in your city then it will be the fault of someone from your country. Ohh… 97 warheads now. Someone in the US tried to check if I was telling the truth or not" the man said with a gentle smile and laughed.

"Now, to make it easy for you to understand your situation, I will let the number of warheads remain in the corner of your TVs, after all, I can't have someone blaming me that I didn't tell them" the man said in a mock sad tone and immediately three more warheads decreased. This scared people around the world even more.

"Ah, people from France are very slow to understand" the man said in a hurt tone and waved at the TV.

"Goodbye, my fellow citizens of Earth, I hope none of you will see me personally today. Leviathan out" the man said and disappeared from the screen and the TVs started to return to their previous states, but in a corner of the screen, they were able to see the number of warheads remaining.
