Chapter 590: Hollywood-Style Rescue Operation

“What is that?”

“Experts? Experts! Where are the experts!? Who can tell me what on earth this thing is!”

“VOMIT—”

“......”

With the current state-of-the-art satellite imaging technology, the captured photos were remarkably sharp. Particularly noteworthy was the fact that the Shoggoth's physical proportions were far from modest. When this grotesque entity materialized on the screen, even though it was viewed through the barrier of the display, the sight of this severely contorted being, entirely defying human notions of aesthetics, caused an unsettling reaction in everyone, with some individuals unable to contain their urge to vomit.

Several leaders from more than a dozen major countries around the world convened a video conference. This was a procedure and standard response established by nations in the wake of the mysterious events. It served as a means for them to come together and discuss matters whenever such a crisis involving mysterious occurrences affecting both humanity and the planet took place. Regardless of their ongoing activities, leaders from various nations had to gather, collaborate, and share intelligence for the purpose of making timely decisions and adjustments. Even the once-arrogant United States supported this proposal and actively contributed to the exchange of information.

Suppressing the urge to vomit, the leaders of these nations all had pale faces. However, as there were other world leaders visible in the video, they refrained from displaying such indecorous behavior by retching.

“Ugh, I can’t take it anymore!”

The President of the United States, caring little about losing face, exclaimed and immediately grabbed a nearby bag to vomit into. Following his lead, the female Chancellor of Germany also bent over and started to vomit. Even though they were separated by screens, the leaders of various nations sensed a strange odor wafting through.

There were more experts outside the continent of Antarctica, and when someone inquired about what this creature could be, experts from all over the world immediately began analyzing the situation. In just a few minutes, based on the geographical location of Antarctica and the nauseating form of this entity, they concluded that it was most likely a manifested creature from the Cthulhu mythology, known as a Shoggoth.

Upon learning of this revelation, leaders from various countries displayed expressions of confirmation, as such nauseating and maddening creatures were indeed prevalent only in the Cthulhu mythology.

“There’s such a creature underground in Antarctica!”

“Previously, intelligence came from the Antarctic research station, suggesting the existence of a mountain underground in Antarctica taller than Mount Everest. There have been suspicions that ancient extraterrestrial beings, the Elder Things from the stars, may be present beneath Antarctica. This underground scientific expedition was precisely aimed at searching for these Elder Things, hoping to acquire some technology from them.”

“Now that a Shoggoth has appeared here, it confirms the presence of the Elder Things beneath Antarctica.”

“Seconded!”

“Seconded!”

“......”

The leaders of various countries quickly agreed to the suggestion made by the President of the United States.

Meanwhile, at the southernmost tip of South America, the American military base swiftly went into a state of readiness. Multiple fighter jets were armed with air-to-ground missiles, and at the commander's command, they took off rapidly, heading toward the Antarctic continent.

The United States was the only country capable of conducting global strikes, as well as the only country able to launch attacks from its major bases worldwide at any given moment. This was a capability that no other country possessed. Although the aircraft and missile assistance were still being provided by the United States in this operation, the rest of the world would bear the costs of this military operation.

"WHOOOOSH—”

Over twenty fighter jets took off from the base. While their numbers were not substantial, their purpose was not to eliminate the Shoggoth; instead, it was to create an opportunity for the Antarctic expedition teams to escape.

A Hollywood-style global rescue operation was unfolding in reality.

“Report! Cthulhu has entered the Antarctic region, and it will soon make landfall on the Antarctic continent!”

At this moment, the monitoring personnel issued an alert.

“Contact that expedition team and urge them to move faster. Also, ask them what they've encountered beneath Antarctica,” the President of the United States said with a clever idea.

The other leaders of various countries brightened up.

Indeed, it was a good idea to inquire whether the expedition team had found anything useful. If they had, the rescue operation would proceed as planned. However, if they had discovered nothing beneath the Antarctic continent, it would be regrettable, and the leaders of various countries might have chosen to abandon them.

In the current circumstances, it was not worthwhile to mobilize excessive resources and power to save these people, especially with the terrifying Outer God about to make landfall on the Antarctic continent. In this crisis where the fate of humanity and the Earth hung in the balance, humanitarian considerations were nonexistent!
