《unit: NO NAME》Chapter 1.1: Genesis
Advertisement
It was the year 2020 on the 15th of April in the morning. The sun shone brilliantly in the clear blue sky, with white and fluffy clouds drifting. People were waking up early for their jobs, along with some people that are doing their exercise. It was a typical day for everyone. However, people were entirely unaware that the three Gods are implementing their consensus. To commence their plan: with a sigh on her face, 'Create' brought back all the monster that 'Destruct' terminated to reduce the population of humanity since that was Destruct's aim.
At the moment, Destruct was thrilled for the humans to die.
"Humanity will finally diminish, and the earth can finally breathe," he declared.
At the same time, warships were stationed somewhere in the Black Sea in the Atlantic Ocean. A marine was assigned to watch over the radar, suddenly, a big green dot appeared rapidly coming towards them on the northeast side. The marine was disoriented to what it was and called other crewmates to alert their commander.
They prepared their ship for combat but saw nothing. It was just clear waves. The crewmates wondered if it was a submarine, then suddenly they felt a forceful collision at the east side of the ship. The crewmates were bewildered by what it was. It was so loud that the other warships' crewmates stationed with them were also stunned. All of a sudden, another warship stationed with them was knocked down by an unknown entity. But, a crewmate witnessed a large tail from what looks like a giant serpent, then all the warships started to ready their weapons to commence an attack.
"I saw a tail of a serpent bigger than our ship. I think it's the Leviathan!" a superstitious crewmate said with trembling legs.
Their commanding officer sneered at the crewmate and jokingly asked, "What the fuck do you mean by a Leviathan?", then he smirked.
"Sir, we need to retreat! A Leviathan is a ginormous mythical creature that has a form of a ser-",
"Focus! Why are you taking my question seriously, Private! It's probably an attack from enemy forces. So, go now, report it to HQ!", their commanding officer shouted abruptly.
Then suddenly, the serpent-like creature leaped in the air. "Sir, there! it's real". The crewmate pointed at the sea serpent.
He widens his eyes. "Shit, how on earth did something like that appear out of the blue" the commander anxiously whispered and gave orders to his men, "alert everyone here in the ocean and HQ what we're dealing with, so keep your eyes open and look out for that massive monster. Fire immediately once seen!"

While the commander was giving out orders, he didn't know that the creature has slowly revealed its hideous face out of the ocean at the back of their ship, intensely gazing.
"C-Commander, the Leviathan is at the b-ba-back of our ship!" the superstitious crewmate shouted, but with nervousness inside his voice.
"There's no time for jokes, private!" The commander noticed a large shadow cast on their floor, slowly turning his head, and blurted out, "Oh, fu-." The creature bit the warship in half and exploded.
Other warships witnessed the disaster and reported what they saw to the Chief Commander of the Armed Forces, the President. The disaster was spreading into the world's headlines and media. Unfortunately, they were no warships left. They were all effortlessly destroyed by the sea serpent that the media named the Leviathan. The Armed Forces couldn't save them, firearms and explosives were not enough, the military realized they needed something more powerful. People panicked and were terrified as a result of the occurrence.
Other monsters were starting to appear in their respective habitats. Death worms were leaping out of the desert and heading straight to the nearby city of Dubai. The Leviathan was swimming wildly, creating waves and attacking other nearby warships. The Wendigos, massive furry beasts that live in the woods, were storming people's camps. Thousands of monsters were reborn.
The typical day that everyone had turned hideous. People were stunned, asking themselves, 'What is that?' and in the blink of an eye, peace turned into chaos: Buildings collapsing, Cars exploding, and People dying.
"The end might be near." a reporter from a famous TV news source stated.
As other cities were having a hard time, London was experiencing it double. All you can hear are sirens, explosions, and people shouting. A scenario wherein a bridge got destroyed by a monster, the Kraken, tying its tentacles around it but got off to look for something that interests it more. The bridge was collapsing and is hanging by a thread. Cars and people were falling.
A woman who was stuck in her car, glancing outside her car's window, wanted to know the situation but was unconditionally distressed.
She asked herself. "What happened, what was that? it was so fast that I couldn't properly see. I need to get out asap!".
She tried to open the car's door but couldn't. Then she tried breaking the window with her elbow due to panic until it's bruised. Unfortunately, she suddenly ran out of breath due to her anxiety attack and lost consciousness. Later on, a man apprehensively crossing across the bridge steadily and quietly to save himself with a myriad of exploded and crashed cars, but not until he saw an unconscious woman.

As he walked towards the car, he knocked on the window and said. "Hey, hey! You need to wake up!", he then knocked again on the window repeatedly until the woman was conscious again.
"You okay? Follow everything I say, understood?" the man loudly spoke.
The woman only heard muffling noises, though he could still somewhat comprehend what the man said.
"Check your glove compartment first. Look for something that you can use." The woman checked it and found tools.
"Now, look for something sharp or strong to break this window" she grabbed the hammer and covered her eyes. She made one good swing, and the window shattered. Then the man slowly pulled the woman out of the car.
Waters moved, the bridge trembled, they wondered what it was. It's the Kraken again. It saw them, so it slowly gathered its pace to go back to the bridge. The Kraken was using its tentacles to rapidly swim and climb up.
The man caught on that the Kraken was back. So, he carried the woman and ran as fast he could with weight on his back while his legs were trembling. He was weak and scared that if he didn't make it, he'd be the reason the woman dies. He felt anger, sadness, and nervousness. The man felt all types of strong emotions, but even so, he desires to save her. But then, the Kraken was close and made its move to tighten its tentacles to tear parts of the bridge.
The woman moved her lips weakly and implored, "Stop! save yourself. we can't make it both to the other side-" she coughed.
The man clicked his tongue and cried out, "No! save your voice, you're weak. We can make it in time, trust me!". They were almost at the other side of the bridge, but then, unfortunately, the bridge collapsed.
The Kraken successfully secured its prey and dropped itself to the ocean, awaiting their landing. Both the man and the woman were falling with her clinging at his back, desperately yelling and closing their eyes, twenty-nine feet of doom, and were ready to face the Kraken below.
Nevertheless, something unexpected happened. Because of the man's traumatic emotions, something inside him awakened. They were ready to fall right in the ocean beside where the Kraken is, but they didn't. The two of them were gradually floating in the air.
"Why the heck is this bridge so tall, get it over with!" The man shouted with closed eyes.
The woman was confused and opened her eyes first and witnessed that they have stopped falling, "Hey, look! Open your eyes."
The man slowly opened his eyes and screamed. "AAHHH! What's happening? Why aren't we falling?!".
"Maybe God has blessed us, he has answered our plead!" The woman added.
"What? wait, I feel like I can move". Then the man knew that he could move in the air and asked the woman, "Are we flying?".
"Yes!" The woman gladly shouted with tears of joy.
The man flew and landed on the other side of the bridge and checked if the Kraken was still chasing them. Fortunately, it plunged itself back into the ocean.
"Did God really hear our plead, How could I suddenly fly?" The man was heavily confused, but he was glad.
The three Gods saw everything that happened, 'Create' and 'Destruct' were shocked as they saw the man flying and they both looked at 'Update' he was smiling with excitement to see that his plans were successful.
"What did you do? You were the only one who could do something like that", Create asked.
"Did you do something without our permission? We have agreed to discuss everything that needs to discuss", Destruct spoke irritably.
"If I have not given humanity something to use, they will cease to exist in less than a year. Don't you agree on this 'Create'? It's quite a waste to see such a perfect creation of yours disappear, would it not?. It also wouldn't hurt to be entertained once in a while. Let us see how humans will handle it. Besides, it is kind of unfair that the humans are against these monsters that are quite next to impossible to eliminate but do not worry, only half of the humans have this blessing of mine, so your wish to diminish their kind would still happen." Update answered their questions while smirking.
"I agree with Update, Destruct."
He gritted his teeth, "don't fuck with me, Create! You agreed because you don't want your so-called perfect creation to suffer in agony despite everything they did!", Destruct angrily shouted, 'Create' was speechless.
"Well, two of us agreed on it, so It's decided then. We're letting the humans have this opportunity", Update announced.
'Destruct' made a grumbling sound with an irritated face yelled, "Be it your way! let's see if they are smart enough to use this power you gave them". Destruct had no other choice, so he was forced to agree with Update's action.
'Update' smirked and whispered to himself, "Entertain me well, Humans."
