The great President of the M Nation was woken up in the middle of the night. Due to the time difference, it was still night time in the M Nation when the modern warships confronted the Mythical Creatures in the Pacific Ocean, especially at four o'clock in the morning when humans were the most sleepy.
The president got up from his bed with a helpless expression. When he heard that the new intelligence was related to Mythical Creatures, he immediately became alert. He quickly washed up and sat behind the president's desk in the White House, waiting for the arrival of the Secretary of Defense and the others.
At the same time, in order to pass the time, he even took out his phone and logged into Twitter to send a message to show his hard work and effort to " make the United States of America greater." For an old man in his 70s, such a daily shock was really bad for his heart.
Have you ever seen Washington at four in the morning?
Mr. President felt refreshed after a simple Tweet. He thought happily about this year's World's Most Powerful Person Award. He would definitely be at the top of the list!
The president didn't have to wait long before the Secretary of Defense arrived at the White House office with a large group of people.
Looking at so many people, Mr. President was a little stunned. Other than a few people who looked like soldiers, the rest were all old people.
Without waiting for the president to ask, the Defense Minister introduced,""…These are biologists, historians, religious scientists, mystics, and so on from major American universities.”
These old people were also woken up in the middle of the night. Their eyes were hazy, but they were all in high spirits. These scholars did not tremble with fear when they saw the president. After greeting the funny president in front of them, they anxiously urged the Minister of Defense to get down to business.
Mythical creatures were closely related to their professions. They were mysterious existences that could break their common sense. They did not expect to discover the existence of Mythical creatures in their lifetime. How could they not be excited?
The Minister of Defense did not delay. He directly asked his subordinates to bring a computer and place it on the table. It was connected to the destroyer in front.
Looking at the strange mosaic-like space on the screen and the sea monster that could only be seen faintly, everyone frowned.
The president looked at the experts, trying to see if they could recognize what it was.
Without Louis's halo of fear, it was just an image to the experts. There was nothing to be afraid of.
"Kraken?"
"The Sin of Jealousy, Leviathan?"
" The cuttlefish monster from folklore?"
“……”
The veins on the president's forehead bulged as he listened to these experts talk about the Bible, Norse mythology, and even the images of deep-sea monsters from folklore. He felt that they were really unreliable.
However, these experts had no choice. The image was too blurry, and the strange mosaic made it impossible to see the true appearance of the monster. Moreover, they had never really seen any mythical monsters. They could only describe everything based on the monsters that had appeared in the ocean.，
At this moment, a subordinate rushed over and whispered something into the Defense Minister's ear.
After his subordinate left, the Defense Minister coughed lightly and said,""... The latest news from the destroyer Bary. A soldier on the ship is in a state of mental disorder. Before he fainted, he kept shouting... shouting 'Long live Cthulu'.”
"Long live Cthulhu?"
The experts and the president looked at each other. It wasn't that they didn't know what Cthulhu was, but it was precisely because they knew that they found it unbelievable.
"Cthulhu is the novelist Howard. Philip An evil existence created by Lovecraft. Although everyone called the series of novels he created the Cthulhu Myths…but, but it was just a novel.”
A religious scholar spoke up, doubting Cthulhu.
The so-called mythological history usually took at least a few hundred years, and it was also because of the narrowness of information sorting, collection, and transmission in ancient times that so many myths appeared. Lovecraft, a novelist, had lived for less than a hundred years, and the information from the beginning of the 20th century to the present was very complete. The so-called Cthulhu myth did not have any actual material to match it, so it was just a novel.
"The officers and soldiers on the destroyer Barry said that they felt fear for some reason. They suspected that they had been mentally contaminated by this monster.”
The Defense Minister's words silenced the atmosphere again.
This, this seemed to be similar to the things recorded in Cthulhu's myths…
At the same time, the Minister of Defense asked his subordinates to operate on the computer, showing the process of the frontline destroyer from noticing something wrong to discovering this mysterious sea area.
"Could it be…that the novelist you mentioned was visited by this monster in his dream and then recorded it as a literary novel? Well, you know, this kind of thing happens many times in the Bible.”
The president suddenly raised a hypothesis.
A folklorist's expression changed.""…That's possible. There's an explanation in Cthulhu mythology that art is a by-product of the demon's natural madness. Perhaps Lovecraft received Cthulhu's madness and created a series of novels related to it. These stories are all by-products of his spiritual corruption by Cthulhu!”
This sentence caused a brainstorm, and the experts began to discuss one after another.
" Cthulhu is known as the God of Sleep and is one of the Great Old Ones. Perhaps there was no legend of Cthulhu before Lovecraft wrote the novel because it had always been in a deep slumber. It was only a hundred years ago that the monster woke up for some reason and revealed its madness, which was then received by Lovecraft!”
"The destroyer recorded that it had sent a drone, but the drone lost its signal after entering this strange space. Could this space be the lost city,'R'lye'?”
" The City of R'lyeh is located at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean according to Lovecraft's records. However, it will sometimes appear on the surface of the sea due to the automatic release of the seal. This looks very similar to the current situation.”
"Look at this picture carefully. In Lovecraft's records, Cthulhu is a monster that looks like an octopus. Although this picture is not very clear, does this look like a tentacle? On the whole, it was really similar to an octopus.”
The experts discussed enthusiastically as if they were all experts in Cthulhu mythology. However, there was one thing in common that they had unknowingly formed, and that was that they really thought this monster was Cthulhu!
The Minister of Defense interrupted the expert's words and said to the president,""…Mr. President, the captain of the destroyer Barry has asked that their missiles are ready. Do you wish to fire?”
The experts looked at the president again, which put a lot of pressure on the president. He wiped his forehead with a handkerchief.
He laughed dryly and whispered,""I haven't read the novel you're talking about. I want to know, does Cthulhu appear in the novel? How did people deal with Cthulhu?”
"It was hit by a boat at the end."
an expert said casually.
"Then…can we let the destroyer Barry crash into it?”
The president asked carefully.
The Minister of Defense and many experts were speechless.
How could you believe such words? It was obviously made up. Why would such a high-sounding evil god be afraid of a ship collision? If you dared to give this order, do you believe that the soldiers on the Barry would dare to shoot missiles at the M Nation?
The president also knew that he had asked a stupid question. He smiled embarrassedly and looked conflicted for a moment.
Should he launch the missile or not?
