Doomsday Pillars

Alex\'s shout attracted the attention of the remaining monsters, who were still entangled with the golems, and woke up the two Earth Magus fighters, who became dumbfounded seeing their leader dead. 

The Earth Magus just stood there awkwardly, as they didn\'t know what to do. With Hafiz dead, their target of devotion was gone and the slight control Hafiz had over them slowly disappeared, causing them to be disoriented, not knowing exactly what to do. 

Their minds were stuck at the thought of taking revenge for their leader or listening to the warning. However, when they thought of taking revenge, their bodies shuddered when they recalled how easy their leader had died.

Hence, moments later, Alex knew they had already given up, as he saw the two of them proceeded to walk over to the three unconscious Magus and just sat there closing their eyes, indifferent to their surroundings. However, the same couldn\'t be said for the monsters, as they ignored the golems and ferociously charged at Alex. 

It looked like they were either completely devoted to their organization or had simply lost their minds due to the transformation. Whatever it was, these \'people\' could not be saved anymore. Realizing that, Alex closed his eyes tiredly and sighed deeply. When he opened his eyes again, Alex\'s gaze already turned sharp again, as he went ahead and did the necessary \'cleansing\' himself..

…

The battle swiftly ended after Alex had killed every monster in the room and restrained the remaining Magus, leaving the confused Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia with his bodyguards. Seeing the apparent confusion on the Crown Prince\'s face, Alex proceeded to explain what had happened to him.

When the Crown Prince realized and understood the situation, he was truly enraged by the blatantcy the Heavenly Gate organization showed. Therefore, on the rage of the moment, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Prince Salem, told his bodyguards to publicly announce Hafiz and his organization as criminals for their crimes towards the royal family and the nation.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Later on that very same day, the news reached all the citizens living in Dubai, followed by the Dubai city\'s government and the Saudi Arabia central government, causing an upheaval. This matter caused severe turmoil across the city, as Dubai City government\'s soldiers in collaboration with its citizens joined forces to sweep the area around Dubai City.

These led the Heavenly Gate people to escape and disperse from the city. According to the news released by the Dubai City\'s government, hundreds managed to be captured, while thousands ran away from the city.

After Prince Salem vented his anger, Alex proceeded to ask the Crown Prince what had happened to him, how he fell under the control of Hafiz. Prince Salem then went ahead and told Alex the last thing he remembered.

Apparently, one month ago, Prince Salem was on his way to attend a peace agreement meeting in a small town in Kuwait, a country located between Saudi Arabia and Iran. The peace agreement was the result of several weeks of diplomatic discussion between the two nations.

As the two biggest forces in the Middle East who were able to survive the impact from the apocalypse, the two sides agreed on a peace agreement, as it would bring many benefits on both sides. This agreement would have allowed the two nations to grow even more powerful in this difficult time. Hence, Prince Salem\'s decision to go to the meeting.

Unexpectedly, the meeting was a trap designed for the Saudi Arabia\'s government. The moment Prince Salem reached the town, he was immediately captured and brought to Hafiz. It was then revealed the Heavenly Gate had deeply rooted into the Iranian government and had schemed this agreement to gain control of Saudi Arabia.

After that, there wasn\'t much Prince Salem remembered until today, where he finally regained his mind back and realized most of his countrymen had been in the cult\'s grasp.

No matter how much Alex wanted to continue to his next objective, he could not just do that. He was worried the situation would only become more dangerous if he left the Crown Prince alone. After all, no one really knew whether the Heavenly Gate people had actually been driven out of the city completely or not.

Therefore, Alex decided to stay close with Prince Salem to make sure he was not in the harm\'s way. With him as the last royal lineage of the Saudi Arabia kingdom, the prince legitimately would soon become the king and ruled over the people in Saudi Arabia. Thus, Alex would stay until the man could regain control of the situation.

While Prince Salem tried his best to understand and control the chaotic condition the Heavenly Gate organization left for him, Alex was deep in thoughts, as he was still somehow affected by Hafiz\'s last words.

Personally, Alex didn\'t agree, even repulsed, with the methods Hafiz used, which was mind control. However, the fact still stood, Hafiz managed to secure over 20 million survivors from all the Middle East. That was 3 times the number of survivors in Indonesia.

Hence, Alex needed to make sure killing Hafiz would not make those innocent people suffer. Especially with the fact the tribulation would start in twelve days. If Alex didn\'t do anything else for these people, Alex\'s actions would have only brought more harm to them.

Making up his mind, Alex used the Doomsday Pillar network to contact the surrounding Middle East nations for help on this matter. Receiving the news, countries like Egypt and China began to move into all the Heavenly Gate\'s posts at the borders, as they rescued the civilians under Heavenly Gate organization. There was also the situation with Yemen that needed to be quickly managed.

Hence, when Theo and the others arrived the next morning, Alex immediately prepared himself for the next move. After asking Theo and the others to protect both Prince Salem and Tiffany, he quickly went on his way.

While Tiffany was enjoying her Arabian holiday in one of the world\'s most luxurious hotels, Alex zoomed around Yemen and Saudi Arabia with the help of Snowy, destroying all the Heavenly Gate\'s posts in these areas and driving them all back to the northeast.

D-day #491

During the past three days, the overall situation had mostly resolved, as Prince Salem had managed to gather all of his loyal supporters, stabilizing his government. The Heavenly Gate\'s posts were destroyed by the collaboration between countries in the Middle East.

There were only 9 days remaining until the tribulation started, which meant Alex didn\'t have much time left. He still had to keep his promise to go to Singapore to help Christina, but he still hadn\'t fulfilled his promise to President Rico. Although he had killed Hafiz, his other objective, rescuing Adam, was still not finished.

From what he had learnt from the Heavenly Gate people he had captured, Alex found out that Adam was most likely held inside the Heavenly Gate main headquarters, the place where they \'reformed\' their followers. It was also the place where they did their research, which was currently overseen by Hafiz\'s most trusted right-hand man, the chemist.

Alex thought of using the same tactic he used when he killed Hafiz, but this time, he would be jumping into the Heavenly Gate main headquarters. Even if Alex was strong enough to wreak havoc inside the headquarters by himself, he was worried it would not be the best way to annihilate these fanatics.

Therefore, Alex decided that, with the help of Egyptian, Israelian, and Saudi Arabia governments, he would launch a campaign with battalions of army against the Heavenly Gate. This was not intended to wage war against the Iranian government but to deter them, lest they disrupted the operation. This campaign was also done to inform the Iranian government about the death of Hafiz and his crimes.

Hence, within just 3 days, all the Iranian and Heavenly Gate\'s forces were forced to stand down by the overwhelming number of troops marching through Iran. The allied force swept through Iran, cleansing and rescuing the brainwashed citizens. Meanwhile, the devoted and fanatics one were mercilessly annihilated.

The operation proceeded smoothly until finally, on the second day, the #494 day, Alex was just outside the main headquarters of Heavenly Gate. Together with him were a team of 30 selected fighters, accompanied by Ardeth, Rama, Theo, and Daisy.

The group was preparing for the final assault against the Heavenly Gate\'s main headquarters, which was filled with thousands of fanatics, as they tried to wipe the last trace of this terrorist organization from the world.

Daisy, on the other hand, came here for one reason: Adam.
