Demon's Conspiracy

"Humans, you dare to ignore my call?!"

The demon shouted angrily. His deep voice made them uncomfortable. But they were also shocked. English! The demon was speaking English.

Hearing no response, the demon sneered, slightly confused.

"Did the war hit you humans so bad that you forget to talk the universal language?" The demons laughed in contempt.

"A-Actually we can-"

"So you do understand me. If I asked you, you answer." The demon looked at them with disgust.

"W-who are you what are y-"

"And you don't have the right to question me."

Chen Long shuddered when the demon gazed at him with cold eyes. His black eyes were like an abyss, the more he stared at it the more he feels like falling from a deep hole.

"You also don't have the right to be cocky in our placed." Ray Gates steps in the front, he looked at the demon deeply.

"Oh" His unrelenting presence surprised the demon. 'He is not affected?' The demon scanned Ray Gates but didn't find anything except his body's structure was different from most humans.

Faced with the demon's discerning gaze, Ray Gates didn't falter.

"I won't staying for too long, I'm here to make a deal" The demon said after not learning anything, he would naturally unearth it later.

"What deal" Ray Gates said.

"A meteor will strike your planet in two years. It will completely wipe your race out from existence."

Everyone's eyes shrunk, they didn't expect this twist. If it was true then they wouldn't be able to do anything but hide in a shelter, trembling as their civilization slowly disintegrate.

"What kind of transaction are we making" Drake Carter asked with interest. When someone would take a closer looked, they would noticed that his eyes were different from before, it was slightly indistinct and blurry.

"I need you to do something for me, in return I'll give you two favors" The demon raise his two fingers.

Ray Gates who was listening shivered, he felt a bad premonition. There is something wrong with this place.

He immediately runs towards the black prism gates that were projecting the image of the demon. He had always trusted his guts, in it would definitely not fail this time.

"Gates, what are you doing?!" Drake Carter yelled at him.

The demon also noticed the black-haired man's unusual behavior. But the man's further move made him stunned.

Ray Gates quivered his arms and a long sword appeared in his grasp.

'Protoss?!' The demon widens his eyes. But shook it afterward. 'No, he's too weak, is he somehow related to them? So that's why he wasn't least affected'

Gasped.

The group was also shocked by Ray's action. They heard rumors about him having supernatural powers, but they didn't expect it to be true. Their materialistic and rationalistic worldview instantly shattered.

BANG

Sharp and loud gunfire suddenly propagated the entire gloomy room.

Ray Gates who was running promptly tilted his head, like he was expecting it from the start. A loud swoosh traveled near his ear. He stumped his feet and turned around.

He coldly stared at the blonde man who was wielding a 90 caliber pistol, his hands were slightly trembling. Everyone also looked at the man with a bewildered expression.

"President Drake, might I know the reason why you shot at me?" Ray Gates smiled coldly. He seems to understand something.

"You may not like to cooperate with him but that may not be the case for the others"

"Really? You believe a demon's words?"

"A month ago, NASA discovered a disturbance billions of light-years away" Drake Carter was silent for a while before responding.

The group turned quiet. The demon looked at them, amused.

"Even so with our current technology and a 2-year heads up, we can prepare enough and survive, together" Ray Gates' voice was still cold, he looked at the man like a dead man.

"Survive?! If your definition of surviving is hiding in an underground shelter for the rest of our life, then our conversation doesn't need continue" Drake Carter yelled at him as he aimed at the woman. Despite the danger, her face was calm, her demeanor was scintillating in the ill-lit room.

The action of the man shocked everyone again.

"Hey, Can we talk this out?" The Japanese man asked, he was familiar with the black haired man. He can't just let his wife die without him doing anything. He also doesn't agree with the actions of David Miles.

But just when he wanted to approach Drake, he heard a click behind his head. Cold sweat immediately trickled on his face. He recognizes the noise, it was the President of Russia's most favorite toy. A gun revolver.

"If you step more time you be dead" The Russian man breath a mouthful of cigarette.

"Can we just drop our weapons and talk?"

"Shut up" Drake said then he look at Ray Gates. "Now if you don't move your ass here then I'll shoot your lovely wife dead"

"Shoot her then" Ray Gates turned around and continued to trot towards the Black Prism Gate. There certainly is something wrong with this room. It was somehow affecting their mentality. Except for Chen Long, the other presidents are usually calm and composed.

David Miles' brain malfunction for a bit. The group was also stunned, even the previously cool Russian almost swallowed his cigarette. Hey how can you leave your lovely wife just like that?

"So be it" Drake recovered from his stupor.

"....."

He pulled the pistol's trigger, but it didn't give him any reaction.

"Huh? why is it not shooting?"

Flop

A hand gripping a pistol suddenly fell on the ground. It was cleanly cut from the wrist.

"AAAHHHHH"

David Miles screamed like a pig. His wound was spurting with blood. He didn't lose his rationality and quickly ripped his clothing, and tied it tightly around the cut.

The beautiful woman looked at him coldly, wielding a blue long sword in her right hands as water continued to float around her.

'You dare point a gun at her? Even I am afraid of pointing my fingers at her when we are quarreling.' Ray Gates thought in his mind.

Countless thoughts also surged in the group's minds. Chen Long back off slowly, afraid that the woman would notice him. The Russian man also put his gun back in his pocket.

'Bloody hell this couple are savages'

"AAAHH. FCK FCK FCK!"

"DEMON YOU'LL GIVE US TWO FAVORS, RIGHT? THEN ELIMINATE BOTH OF THEM THEN WE WILL FULFILL YOUR REQUEST" Drake shouted at the demon not far away.

The demon just stared at him which made Drake nervous. He remembered what Ray Gates said earlier. If Aliens really can't do anything in this dimension, then wouldn't he die?

He stared at the cold woman, she was looking at him as if he was dead.

He also looked at Ray who was emitting dense killing intent while approaching the gate. But it was also weird, the black prism ga wasn't t that far, yet he still hasn't reached the place.

Thinking that if the man successfully destroyed the gate, and killing him afterward, he trembled in fear. But this thought was immediately dispelled when he saw the demon's face slowly deformed.

"Hmm. I do want to eradicate every last one of the Atlantians." The demon smiled creepily, showing his razor-sharp teeth. His eyes became scarlet red.

Before the Demon finished his words, Ray Gates had already rushed back to his wife. He was rushing towards the demon at full speed but somehow can't reach it. It was like a different dimension from where he is.

'Sht, they are this powerful?!'

He made a great miscalculation this time, he should have thought of a possibility that someone from the other side could potentially harm them.

"If other demons were here they would not be able to do anything about you"

The demon said as dark energy slowly enveloped the room.

"But, I'm a demon who can grant wishes"

Bang

All the dark energy blasts towards the couple. Ray Gates quickly reached his wife and tightly hugged her. The beautiful woman also summoned a water sphere that enclosed the two of them.

"Natasha, remember that, as long as I breath, I will always find you. Even if you're in the deepest part of the universe. Just wait for me... I love you" Ray said with emotion before he was muttering indecipherable words.

"Ray... You'll be the only person that occupies my heart" She felt her chest being stumped. They had already been married for many years, she knew what he was going to do.

Bang

The water sphere broke from the force of dark energy.

"I love you too... You better not find someone else while I'm gone, Ray!"

Natasha said before the space around them deformed, their body also rippled just like a reflection from the water.

With a burst of light, their existence completely vanished.

Silence

"YOU BASTARD" Yoichi Sasaki punched the blonde man.

"JUST FOR YOUR SELFISHNESS, YOU KILLED SOMEONE WHO HAD SERVED THE WORLD UNION FOR A LONG TIME UNREASONABLY" He yelled as he keeps punching David until his face was covered in blood.

"Japanese, you should stop, he's barely breathing" Devansh Gupto said.

"NOW YOU FINALLY MUTTERED A WORD?" Sasaki yelled angrily at him, but he also stopped his action.

"Humans, I told you I won't be staying long" The demon at the side said with a hasty tone. His image that was projected by the Black Prism Gate was wavering.

"half a year after the meteor struck, when your world stabilized. We would be 'visiting' your planet."

A black hole suddenly appeared near the gate. Hundreds of glass containers came out one after another.

"I want you to implant this all to your people" The Demon revealed a cunning smile.

"H-How does that affect us?" Chen Long asked. The demon's smile was giving them a sense of foreboding.

"Of course it is to weaken your race. We will be 'visiting' your planet after all" The demon laughed, his image was slowly vanishing.

"Oh right, you're excluded from genetic isolation, you're the one distributing them after all. And don't you dare reneged our deal, see that red tattoo in your temple? When your job wasn't done after two years your head would automatically explode. I'll fulfill your other favors when we meet again."

The demon's image disappeared from their sight. But his voice kept resounding in their minds. They looked at each other's temple and saw a red dot that is barely noticeable.

As the darkness of the room slowly receded, their hazy eyes slowly became clear.

Their minds came back to normal, but all eight of them were silent never saying a word. They sat on the ground like they were deprived of everything.
