Global Disaster: I Will Slay Gods In This Second Chance!-Chapter 42: Global Summit

Heavenfree, 11:00 AM.

Inside the conference hall, a solemn atmosphere emerged.

Steps echoed, and from the entrance, a beautiful woman with dark purplish hair walked inside.

As the host of the meeting, it was unusual that she was the last to arrive.

However—

Her grace was incomparable, as though the path itself supported her steps.

Her eyes swept through the entire hall, taking everyone’s solemn expressions in her sight.

Those who met her gaze felt a subtle chill, an urge to lower their gazes.

And those who were dissatisfied fell silent. The complaints in their throats had been pushed back, as though they felt utterly lacking to even dare question her.

Her expression remained still, and under everyone’s gaze, the Queen of Crownreach sat down on the forefront of the hall.

Her simple movements were full of grace, and even in silence, Queen Morgana exuded a majesty that no one in the room could compare with.

Sshh...

The cameras focused on her—

Then, Queen Morgana tapped the microphone, causing a sharp thump to echo through the hall.

Thump.

Everyone straightened up and looked at her quietly.

Then, slowly, she began to speak, as if telling a story.

"On March 25, 2025. Nine mysterious beings descended, calling themselves the Nine Apostles. After their dehumanizing speech, they proclaimed to have been sent by God, tasked with the ’noble’ mission to bring down Ninety-Nine Era Ending Calamities to our universe."

"Before humanity could understand the significance of their words, the First Era Ending Calamity already descended—Spiritual Awakening."

"Spiritual Awakening caused the immediate deaths of at least 23% of the world’s population, and unfortunately, 30% of humanity perished. However, those who managed to survive this ordeal, whether animal or man, gained supernatural powers now referred to as Awakeners."

She paused, then continued.

"... As of today, March 25, 2025. Nations across the world have established their own awakener organizations to regulate and control the chaos. In light of this, the world has seen a shift in trend, where those with sufficient abilities become the guardians that protect this world from monsters."

"We convened this Global Summit to accept the New Era that has come. An era where strength commands respect, monsters walk openly, and the knowledge humanity once relied upon becomes obsolete."

"However!"

She raised her voice slightly.

"We must remember that this is merely the First Era Ending Calamity."

"There will be a second one, a third one, and a fourth one!"

"Hence, humanity’s survival is at stake at this meeting! Whether we had our previous differences, conflicts, and grudges, for the sake of humanity, they end today."

"However, do not mistake compromise as a sign of weakness. It is wisdom that only intelligent beings like us could possess."

Maria finished and swept her gaze throughout the hall.

After a while, everyone was still mute, her voice lingering in the hall.

"Let us begin the discussion. Please raise your hands if you wish to express your nation’s opinion."

Maria gave a brief nod.

As though they could finally breathe, the world leaders exchanged a glance and began raising their hands...

On April 25, 2025, the Global Summit was broadcast live, and the Queen of Crownreach’s speech moved countless people. Her reputation soared across the globe, gaining admiration and respect.

But no one knew, aside from the Queen and a special few, that another Global Summit had taken place just after it.

Perhaps it was more apt to call it the one after the ’real’ Global Summit.

And in this Global Summit, humanity’s survival hinges upon the feelings and decisions of only fifteen individuals.

Some of them were in the list of the strongest, while some were unrecognized.

But each of them, without mistake, was someone who could decide the future of the world at this very moment!

Heavenfree, Euryon.

Although Heavenfree was known as the King’s and Queen’s landing, the island was divided into two regions, namely the outer ring and inner ring.

The outer ring was where nobles usually stayed in ancient times, and the restrictions set on the area were comparatively less strict. It was also where the meeting between all world leaders took place.

But the inner ring was different.

It was the true "untouchable", where even the leader of Crownreach had no right to enter.

Yet at this very moment, the very core of the inner ring was being used as a meeting place.

Inside the large castle in the inner ring, Morgana walked silently, her expression unreadable.

’Whether Crownreach, no... the world becomes peaceful rests on the outcome of this meeting...’

She thought, stopping in front of the door momentarily.

She took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with resolve.

After a brief pause, Morgana opened the door.

Inside, she immediately saw fourteen individuals already seated on the long rectangular table in the center.

The moment she entered, they also naturally noticed her.

The majesty and oppressive aura she carried seemed to be nothing under their gaze.

Unlike the admiration she received from outside, Morgama could only see indifference and curiosity in their eyes.

Evidently, in this meeting, even the Queen was nothing special.

As though unaffected by this, Morgana nodded briefly.

"The meeting took longer than I expected. I apologize for being late."

On one of the seats, Michael languidly rested against the chair, his legs both on top of the sacred table, crossed arrogantly.

He mused. "Just an apology? Our time is very precious, you know?"

Then, on a different seat, a tall, thin woman with light-brown skin smiled upon hearing Michael’s words.

She mocked him openly. "Your time? Beyond, you do nothing but have sex all day. I bet Liberty is already filled with your seed."

Her uncouth and vulgar words caused a few expressions to twitch.

"That’s statistically impossible in under a month!"

On the right side, a tall, curvy woman with olive skin, seemingly of Mediterranean descent, shook her head.

But then, the light-brown woman suddenly added. "What if he’s a quick one?"

"Quick one?" The Mediterranean woman blinked, then, as if she understood, she quickly glanced at Michael. "I didn’t consider that... let me recalculate the probability again..."

The two of them immediately ruined the solemn atmosphere, creating a mockery out of Michael.

But as if Michael didn’t hear them, he simply smiled and shook his head.

"The two of you are welcome to try. I’m always free."

Hearing that, the light-brown woman’s expression turned into disgust.

"Fuck you!"

Michael nodded with a smile. "Yes, fuck me."

Before things could get out of line, Morgana quietly released a calm, blue aura from her body.

At that moment, all of the members froze.

"Enough."

Morgana said indifferently.

But soon, the calm blue aura was overtaken by not just one, nor two, nor three...

But fourteen other auras, all unique and transcendent!

Evidently, all of them here had reached the Vital Spark stage, the limit of the First Era Ending Calamity.

Their gazes collided in the air, seemingly understanding something.

Morgana wasn’t surprised, retracting her aura as she walked to the front seat.

"Let’s begin this team meeting with an introduction, stating our name and title."

—In this meeting, their place of origin was irrelevant.

At their levels, their identity carried more weight than any nation in the world.

"Morgana Crown."

As she introduced herself, Morgana sat down, overlooking everyone.

"Queen of Fantasy."
