Chapter 649: Eve of Disaster

Inside the Blue House, the South Korean President's face turned pale. He had received several calls, some from leaders of other countries and others from the true rulers of South Korea - the leaders of capitalist conglomerates like Samsung.

The calls from foreign leaders were mostly diplomatic niceties, acknowledging the events in Seoul and offering support. Despite their calm tones, the South Korean President could sense a hint of sarcasm in their voices.

The situation worsened as China and Japan joined forces against South Korea, worsening the President's embarrassment.

Calls from the leaders of conglomerates like Samsung were even more unpleasant, treating him like a dog and threatening him if he failed to resolve the situation.

The President felt panic rising, considering the fate of previous South Korean leaders who had ended up in prison.

Knowing that he would likely be the scapegoat for the current crisis, the President regretted not taking the proper action the moment the government gained knowledge of Lee Uijin's activities. If Seoul suffered significant losses, he would be the one held accountable.

Earlier, he had mocked Japan and the United States for the chaos in Tokyo caused by supernatural forces. Now, the tables had turned, and South Korea was facing a crisis.

"We must find a way to survive; we must find a solution," the President thought urgently.

He panicked as sweat drenched his face. He understood that other countries wouldn't allow South Korea to be completely destroyed by these monsters. If the creatures left South Korean borders and headed elsewhere, it would become a global calamity, and other nations wouldn't stand by idly.

However, he knew that foreign rescue teams wouldn't arrive immediately. They would likely study the weaknesses of these monsters, devise strategies, and perhaps extort South Korea before intervening.

Before receiving foreign aid, South Korea had to endure the initial fierce attacks.

"Yes, according to U.S. experts' analysis of the hand-copied version of the 'Seven Cryptical Books of Hsan', they believe the book is related to ancient China and Taoism. The author is recorded as 'Hsan', with unknown birth and death dates. Originally documenting various Taoist secrets, the book was somehow corrupted by an evil god, transforming it into a forbidden text."

"The book consists of seven chapters, with no detailed information on the first one, considered unimportant. The sixth chapter describes the method to summon the 'Gate of Kadath', implying the opening of a gateway to otherworldly dimensions, although the specifics are unclear."

"The other five chapters detail the summoning of creatures from the Cthulhu Mythos. One is the Ghoul, possessing steel-reinforced bones. Another is the Byakhee, capable of flying through space. The third is the Hound of Tindalos, a creature capable of traversing time and space. The fourth is the Burrower Beneath, a creature that caused earthquakes. According to the information, the United States suspects that this creature could potentially destroy the entire Seoul."

"The last is the ritual to summon the evil god of chaos. If summoned...," the assistant hesitated.

"If the evil god is summoned, the fate of Earth is uncertain. But South Korea will undoubtedly be doomed."

Listening to the assistant's briefing, the President compared the information with the descriptions and images of the creatures from the front lines. Everything matched, providing some relief for South Korea.

The thick stack of documents likely contained more detailed information on the creatures' attack methods, special abilities, and weaknesses—an unexpected piece of good news.

"Immediately send this information to all military units on the front lines!"

The President made a decisive decision.

Immediately, he leaned back in his chair, pressing his temples, and said, "We absolutely cannot allow Lee Uijin to summon the evil god. No, it's not about the evil god now. We must first deal with the Burrower Beneath. The front lines reported a mysterious earthquake, but our seismological bureau had no response. This indicates that the Burrower Beneath exists!"

"Beneath our capital, Seoul, there is a monster capable of causing the entire city to collapse. We must deal with this creature first!"

Like Holmes, the South Korean President identified a blind spot. Whether it was the Ghoul, Byakhee, or the Hound of Tindalos, these creatures caused relatively minor harm, mainly killing individuals one by one. However, the Burrower Beneath was different. It had the potential to cause natural disasters!
