Chapter 8 - The World Has Gone MAD

News Segment:
"Good evening, this is CNN TONIGHT, and we begin tonight with a story that has the entire world in shock. Just hours ago, a live-stream from a cargo ship in the Pacific went viral, amassing over 1 billion views in real-time. What the world witnessed was nothing short of extraordinary. A massive sea creature—no, a monster—rose from the ocean, attacking the ship and its crew. The stream captured the event in chilling detail, with viewers witnessing monstrous tentacles and eerie, green-tinged fog enveloping the vessel.
While no official statement has been released by any government yet, speculation is running wild. Was this some unknown creature? Could this be related to the recent viral 'dragon' footage from America? Questions are piling up, but answers remain elusive.
Let's turn now to the streets, where protests have erupted worldwide, demanding transparency from their governments."
Footage of protests in various countries:
- London: Crowds outside Parliament are chanting, waving signs that say "Reveal the Truth!" and "No More Lies!"
- Berlin: Protesters gather in the thousands, holding banners that read
"What are they hiding?" and "America, speak up!"
- Tokyo: Streets are flooded with people demanding answers, with signs that say "Monsters or Myths? Tell us now!"
News anchor :
"From London to Berlin, to Tokyo and beyond, citizens are taking to the streets, accusing their governments of withholding information. Many are pointing fingers at the United States, especially after the earlier dragon video, which remains shrouded in mystery. Although this recent incident involved a Canadian cargo ship, all eyes are on America for answers.
We reached out to the U.S. Department of Defense for comment, but as of yet, no official statement has been made. The White House also declined to comment, neither confirming nor denying any involvement or connection to these events.
Meanwhile, the U.S. media seems to be downplaying the incident, labeling it as 'likely CGI' or an elaborate hoax, but those explanations are doing little to calm the growing unease."

"@ApocalypseWatch Y'all tempting fate too much. Keep saying it's the end times and something *will* come for us. #StopTheFearmongering"
@SeaSaltedTea -
"I don't know... That stream was pretty convincing. It didn't look like CGI to me. And 1 billion viewers?!"
@HardcoreAtheist -
"It's 2024 and people still believe in mythical creatures. Y'all need to chill and let the experts explain this. I bet there's some logical explanation."
@TheWatcher -
"Logical explanation? The ship disappeared. The creature was enormous, and the crew was *losing their minds*. How do you explain that?! Something big is happening, and our governments are hiding it."

Across the globe, as Twitter exploded with debates and conspiracy theories, the protests only grew louder. In New York, a crowd gathered outside the United Nations headquarters, demanding that world leaders reveal what they know about these strange events. Chants of "We deserve the truth!" echoed down the streets, while the media continued to speculate about the U.S. government's involvement.
Despite mounting pressure, officials in America remained silent, deflecting questions by pointing to the lack of credible evidence. Government spokespeople labeled the footage as a likely fabrication, subtly pushing the narrative that it was either AI-generated or a CGI stunt. Yet, no formal denial or confirmation was issued, allowing public suspicion to fester.
In Moscow, President Putin held a closed-door meeting with his intelligence officers. Russian sources had already gathered fragments of information, including the confirmed presence of something enormous being transported in secret from America's shores. Putin, notorious for his cautious and calculating nature, refused to let the incident slide.
"If this is real, we need to know its origin," Putin said sternly, his cold eyes fixed on his intelligence chief. "If the Americans are hiding a new weapon—or something worse—we must be prepared. Double our surveillance."
Meanwhile, in London, whispers circulated through the halls of government. The UK's intelligence agencies were growing increasingly uneasy. One of their senior officials admitted to the prime minister, "There's too much red tape around this. The Americans are keeping something from us. We need more data."
In Beijing, the Chinese government appeared dismissive. Their officials, calling the video "Hollywood nonsense", expressed little interest, brushing it off as just another trick from the West. "Just like their movies—big, loud, but ultimately fake," one high-ranking official scoffed during a private briefing.
However, behind closed doors, China's top scientists and military strategists were quietly reviewing the footage, debating whether this could be an advanced military technology—or worse, an ancient entity beyond human understanding.

Back in the U.S., behind the scenes.
An agent from the FBI walked briskly into a dimly lit office at YouTube's headquarters.
"I thought we told you to take that video down," the agent said, frustration evident in his voice. He leaned across the desk of the YouTube representative, eyes narrowing.
"We did," the YouTube representative replied with a sigh, "multiple times. But it keeps coming back. Every time we remove it, it's restored within minutes. We've tried everything, even shutting down certain accounts, but... we can't seem to keep it down."
The agent scratched his head, bewildered. "What do you mean you can't keep it down?"
The representative looked uneasy. "We've never seen anything like this. It's as if something is forcing it to stay online. We have no control over it."
The agent stared at him for a long moment before silently walking out of the office. Later that day, he returned to report the strange phenomenon to the President's office. But the president, focused on controlling the narrative, barely acknowledged the agent's report.
"Let it die down," the president muttered, brushing off the gravity of the situation. "The world will move on, just like it always does."
But the world wasn't moving on. Not this time.

With over a billion people having witnessed the strange and terrifying events in the Pacific, and the stream from the cargo ship circulating like wildfire, the world had entered a new phase—one where the line between myth and reality was rapidly blurring.
And the people? They weren't going to let it go. Not this time.
As public unrest intensified, with demands for answers growing louder, the unseen hand behind the chaos prepared for the next phase.

Tokyo Tower:
High above the bustling streets, a man stood at the edge of the observation deck, looking out over the glittering cityscape. His strikingly handsome face and sharp features would normally draw attention from passersby, yet there was something off. Below, two schoolgirls giggled, whispering about whether one of them should approach the "Onii-san." However, before they could take a step, their eyes briefly went black. A moment later, they shook their heads, the memory of the man vanishing from their minds entirely, as they continued their tour as if nothing had happened.
That man was Adam.
He smiled as he listened to the news buzzing in his ear, his mind on the rising chaos. With the release of the Cthulhu stream, his influence—his "worship points"—had surged. The spectacle had worked perfectly. People were terrified, confused, and most importantly, they were *talking*. His power fed off belief, and now the world was more curious, more vulnerable than ever.
As he stood there, hidden in plain sight, he accessed something far beyond mortal understanding: an ethereal shop, unseen by the world. Adam mentally flipped through the offerings, things no human could imagine—artifacts, powers, and resources beyond comprehension. He bought a few key items, each a piece for the next step in the "play" he was orchestrating. The world had just witnessed the beginning. The Great Old Ones had only whispered their presence. Soon, they would speak.

Washington, Oval Office:
Meanwhile, across the globe, the atmosphere inside the White House was far less controlled. The President sat at his desk, surrounded by advisors and members of his cabinet, tension thick in the air. The pressure from citizens and the international community had become overwhelming, and every day, his political opponents were using this chaos to turn public sentiment against him.
The President sighed deeply, rubbing his temples in frustration. "Everyone wants more information," he muttered, "but it's not like we're sitting on any answers. We're just as clueless as they are." He snorted in disbelief and joked, "Now people are calling for us to release info about aliens. Aliens!"
He leaned back in his chair, a wry smile crossing his face. Before becoming President, like many others, he'd believed that the government held secret files on extraterrestrial life, that Area 51 was a treasure trove of hidden truths. But the reality? A series of coincidences, paranoia fueled by the Cold War, and nothing more. "It's all just smoke and mirrors we used to mess with the USSR," he remarked, causing a few of his cabinet members to chuckle dryly.
Still, the situation was no laughing matter. Foreign ambassadors had been knocking on the door all day, demanding answers about the stream that had set the world on edge. And here he was, the supposed leader of the free world, with nothing to offer except more uncertainty.
"What do they expect us to say?" he continued. "We don't know what that thing was. We don't even know if it's real! And yet the whole world is in a frenzy." He clenched his fists on the desk. "Damn it, we need time. But no one's giving us any. Not the public, not the media, not even our allies."
"For now, focus on the Dragon Scale. We would release the sailors we picked up, let the media eat them up and some info about the green mucus we got from the lifeboats." Trump said, while checking the files the CIA send regarding their questioning about the crew that faced Cthulhu.
everyone nodded and went out of the office,
"Now to de stress, lets own some lib-tards" the president said planning on another round of twitter discourse. in which the aid just grab his head and plan to limit the president on tweeting out something outrages.

Thread: "Cthulhu Stream — Real or CGI?"
---
User_ChaosTheory99:
Guys, there's no way this Cthulhu thing is real. I mean, come on. It's 2024, we've seen some pretty convincing CGI and deepfakes. Why would some ancient sea monster suddenly pop out of the Pacific?
---
AlienWatcher42:
Yeah, but explain the green lightning and the massive tentacles! You really think some random YouTuber would be able to afford Hollywood-level effects like that? And it was live. How do you fake that?
---
HackerGhost99:
It's not impossible. AI can generate some crazy stuff in real-time now. It might've been done using a combination of deep learning models and cloud processing. I bet it was a test run of some new AI.
---
OccultistSoul17:
You people are blind! You think this is just CGI? What about the *feeling* people had while watching the stream? I was watching it live, and my whole body went cold. I've never felt anything like that from a movie before. The Great Old Ones are waking up.
---
Realist97:
Oh come on, Occultist. It's just mass hysteria. You felt cold because you got freaked out. I was watching it too, and yeah, it was creepy, but there's probably some psychological explanation behind it. Maybe some subliminal messages or sound frequencies were used to mess with our heads.
---
Dragon_Slayer69:
Lmao, the US government is hiding something. They haven't denied or confirmed anything, which is super sketchy. And now they're conveniently blaming "AI-generated hoaxes"? Classic misdirection.
---
NoGodsNoMasters:
Not just the US. Every government is avoiding the subject or pushing blame somewhere else. And why hasn't anyone shut down that stream permanently? They delete it, and it keeps coming back. You telling me a trillion-dollar company like YouTube can't keep a video offline?
---
Deep_Dreamer:
Exactly. What's worse is how some countries are pushing the blame onto the US while also playing dumb. Canada owned that ship, right? Yet they're silent. Why isn't anyone calling them out?
---
AlienWatcher42:
That's what I'm saying! And why does it always come back to the US government? There's no way they don't have more information. I mean, they've had their hands in every weird thing since Area 51. Why is this any different?
---
HackerGhost99:
Because they *know* something and are stalling. Ever since that dragon in the sky, it's been cover-up after cover-up. If they're clueless, like the president claims, then why all the secrecy?
---
OccultistSoul17:
The governments are stalling because they know they can't stop it. It's not about control anymore. It's about survival. Humanity is on the edge, and the Great Old Ones are testing us. Watch the skies. Watch the sea. They're here.
---
Dragon_Slayer69:
Bro, the government can barely handle basic stuff, let alone something on this scale. It's obvious they're hiding the truth because they don't know how to deal with it. Look at how they're scrambling. All those press conferences, and not a single real answer.
---
User_ChaosTheory99:
And now people are asking for info on aliens too? It's like a circus. Governments everywhere are deflecting, and the public's going nuts. First dragons, now sea monsters, next thing you know, they'll say aliens are real. Why can't they just be honest for once?
---
Realist97:
It's not like they have answers. What if the governments are just as clueless as we are? They probably don't know what's happening either. Or worse, they've lost control of the situation entirely.
---
NoGodsNoMasters:
Or maybe they've known all along and kept us in the dark. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Look how they handled UFOs for decades—denial, misdirection, confusion. Classic tactics to make the public give up asking questions. Now with this, they're panicking because they can't hide it anymore.
---
Deep_Dreamer:
That's the real fear, isn't it? That they knew, and now it's too big to cover up. They can't control this narrative anymore. Governments always use chaos to tighten their grip, but this time it's different. The more they try to spin it, the more suspicious it all seems.
---
Dragon_Slayer69:
The fact that they haven't fully debunked or confirmed it speaks volumes. All these world leaders are sweating bullets, yet they keep feeding us the same line: "We don't have more information." Yeah, right. They know *something* and just aren't telling us.
---
DigitalProphet2024:
I'm just waiting for them to come up with another lame explanation, like "unusual weather patterns" or a "freak accident." But this is global. And we all saw that stream. How do you explain the navigation systems going haywire on that ship?
---
AlienWatcher42
Exactly! All the evidence points to something bigger. The governments are probably scared because they can't control it. We've hit a breaking point. People are demanding answers, and they're scrambling to keep us from full-on panic.
---
Realist97:
Look, I get the frustration, but what's the alternative? Full disclosure? You really want governments to admit they have no idea what's going on? That'll just make things worse. People are already freaking out. If they come clean, society will collapse.
---
OccultistSoul17:
Good. Let it collapse. Humanity is weak and blind. This world has been ruled by ignorance for too long. The Old Ones are coming to cleanse it, and nothing your governments do can stop it.
---
Dragon_Slayer69:
Occultist going full end-times here, but can we really trust anything the government says at this point? People are calling for them to open up everything—aliens, secret programs, the works. And they're just sitting there, trying to let it "die down." Like that's gonna happen.
---
NoGodsNoMasters:
They're hoping it'll blow over like every other scandal. But this isn't a scandal; it's reality breaking down. And they can't ignore it forever. People are starting to wake up.
---
Deep_Dreamer:
Wake up, indeed. Whether this is real or a hoax, the world's never going to be the same.
