Chapter 253 - World Conference 2
Christina is someone very special to him, a friend he has known for a long time when Alex was still studying in Australia. The two were very close friend before this apocalypse began and ruined their lives, making them lost contact with each other.
In his previous life, Christina was a famous spirit enhancer known for her ability. They also has a opportunity to fight together against the apocalypse. That\'s why, when Alex was reincarnated, he tried to persuade Christina to follow him to Bali, but it was very difficult for her who was married to go with him and throw her responsibility and family away.
Christina is a very special person who was in Alex\'s life when he was young and naive in his college days, when he grew into an adult with a family, when he changed during the apocalypse in his previous life, and also this time when he returned.
Alex\'s group who heard him called someone turned their head to looked at the said person.. In his entourage, not only Alex who recognized her. His old friend Theo, his wife Devita and Aria who met Christina before in Singapore also recognize her.
Alex was eager to approach Christina, but before he could do what he wanted, President McCord had already started the meeting. So he had to postpone it until after the meeting.
Realizing that the meeting was about to start, the people in the hall started to sit down.
"Thank you all the representatives who came for this meeting. Let me introduce myself. I am Elizabeth McCord, the current appointed president of the United States" said President McCord with a smile.
"The fact that you are here means you represent the strongest people in your region. I recognize a few faces, but let\'s start with an introduction followed by sharing the current state of our country. It also would be great if you could share any important information."
Everyone then started to introduce themselves one by one, followed by the current state of their country. Overall, the current world situation has fallen into ruin with the destruction of almost all cities in the world and the loss of 90 percent of the world\'s population. In these circumstances, it is impossible for them to refuse help or not share information.
Alex paid attention to the condition of every city in various parts of world, where each of them experienced almost the same conditions, with some even worse than others. The most worrying condition occurs are the one from south Africa where their Doomsday Pillar is currently isolated from other cities. Meanwhile, the country that is most prepared to fight the apocalypse is China
Before everyone could finish speaking, General Max snaps in annoyance.
"Yes yes! All the same!! Can we talk about something really important?!"
Everyone\'s faces who heard that changed and narrow their eyes to him. While, President McCord who was staring at the scene, feeling irritated, tried to calm the situation and said.
"General Max, if you have anything to say next time, please try to tell me beforehand. Now, if you will.."
"Before I say anything, I want to be sure about one thing."
"Please.." replied the president.
General Max then looked at Alex and said
"Mr Alex, I heard that you came from the future. Is this information correct?"
Hearing that, several gasps sounded inside the hall, some people were confused about General Max\'s question.
"From the future? That\'s impossible!"
General Max then continued with a tone of aggression in his voice.
"Is it true that you are the person behind the TV shows and conventions in Singapore that say Doomsday will come?"
"Is it true that you gathered and made bases long before Doomsday came?"
"Is it true that you and your squad managed to complete the second challenge with top ranking score simultaneously?"
"Tell me Mr Alex, is it true that all this happened and the fact that you are from the future?"
General Max\'s interrogation-like series of questions threw the whole room into a frenzy, some are shocked about the questions and facts that will be presented while some are just annoyed and don\'t believe this is possible.
After listening to his question, Alex answered with utter ease.
"Believe it or not, it\'s true." replied Alex
Hearing Alex\'s answer, the atmosphere got even more chaotic.
"Everybody please calm down! Let Mr Alex explain what he means about that." said President McCord
"That\'s right. Mr Alex, please explain." replied General Max
Alex knows that he still has to explain what happened to him first before he starts to influence these people. Since everyone in this place already knew the secret and virulence of Doomsday Pillar, there should be nothing for Alex to cover up.
Alex then began to explain.
"We all know with the presence of this Doomsday Pillar, that there is indeed a power that exceeds human reason. We all know that the previous humans were only the lowest level in this universe. Some of you have witnessed the power of Earth Realm and Sky Realm fighters. My reincarnation or time travel was the blessing of a very strong person, several levels beyond this realm.. "
"Is this person a human?"
"Yes it appears so. Some of my friends here have seen this person when he came to help us again during a crisis. They can confirm the credibility of my story."
Some people looked at Alex\'s entourage as if asking what Alex said is true and turned back to Alex waiting for him to continue his explanation.
"Dear world leaders, I came from the world 10 years from now. So I\'m saying now is what I experienced at that time."
Alex gave a glimpse of the things that happened to his previous life. Regarding the arrival of a deadly plague, the event of humans becoming undead, the presence of the Doomsday Pillar, up to the continuous destruction of the world year after year.
"Hahaha.. This is both hilarious and exciting. What do you think everyone? Do you believe what he said?" General Max scoffed
In response of General Max\'s inquiry, President McCord said.
"This is my first time met Mr Alex in person. Even though what he said seemed suspicious and quite frankly unbelievable, but the information he had provided so far was extremely accurate. So I suggest we at least listen to what he has to say."
The representative from Israel, Jurgen said
"I was actually there when Alex explained about the apocalypse at the conference in Singapore, it was very hard to believe at the time. But, I have to say that Israel is able to survive now because of that information."
Most of the people in this room are powerful and resourceful in their own way, they have received similar information before and they can read the current situation very well now.
Oda, a representative from Japan joined the conversation. This man is a eminent fighter who is known for him and his group\'s ability to complete the second challenge without his government\'s support.
"Mr Alex, what is it that destroys the world? Although the majority of our population has died. But with the new strength from the pillar, I believe we can fight this threat." said Oda with concern in his voice
Alex who heard that chuckled slightly.
"Mr. Oda, the zombies and creatures that we are facing right now is just an appetizer .. the main thing is yet to come." said Alex helplessly
Stunned, Oda then said ""Is this about the countdown? What will happen if the countdown reaches zero?"
"Yes. Your guess is right Mr Oda. Something will happen when the countdown reaches zero."
This question immediately caught the attention of everyone on the spot. Some of them cannot make a head or tails about this while others have their own guesses.
"I guess some of you have guessed it. That\'s right, the threat will come from the Gate of Abyss. Those of you who have explored the location of the critters monster\'s origin will know about this. By now all of you have seen the abyss spawned only the critters but soon a higher level creature will start to come out of gate gradually in later days, and when the countdown reaches zero, that\'s where the first tribulation will arrive."
"First tribulation!?" exclaimed everyone in surprise.
"Yes! All thousands of abyss gates around the world will open at the same time. These beings will flow into our world by the hundreds of millions and more."
"Hundreds of millions!!! How crazy is that!? It means..."
"Yes." Alex said with a grave tone. "These creatures will replace humans and take over the world."
Tongue-tied. This is the first time everyone heard of this. Alex never really shared this information before. Alex felt now was the best time to tell them, as everyone had become more confident in their strength after reaching the Sky realm.
President McCord tried to appear calm and ask a question.
"Are they the same orcs that we fought in the pillars?"
"No Mrs President. They are stronger."
"How is that possible? How can we survive that!?"
The Pope suddenly prayed and decided to say his thought.
"This is Judgement Day. Lord please have mercy on us. Mr Alex how can we escape this calamity?"
