Chapter 73 - Chapter 73: The Power of News and Its Global Impact

This month, the world was overflowing with news and events — from announcements to breaking news — as if the entire world was in a constant state of excitement.

The Golden Generation of the Sinai World Academy, the new virtual reality games, scenes of battles, the sighting of the legendary beast Yeti, and the upcoming global tournaments…

Both young and old felt a sense of anticipation, as if all their hard work was worth it just for these thrilling moments.

And even though the world had entered an era of peace — after all the changes, the emergence of Heka energy, the other realms, portals, and mythical beasts — everything was still safe, and humanity was living its best days.

But there were people who hated this peace, feeling as if they were now trapped in a stronger, tighter cage.

Back when they lived in the ordinary world before these events, they used to feel bored and sought excitement and thrill, often turning to the dark and deep corners of the web.

Some even killed humans — though not many — and even then, many of them were unable to act because of the strict laws.

Now, after the emergence of Heka, power, monsters, and other worlds, they thought the world would descend into chaos, that they would have their fill of killing, ruling the weak, or even eliminating them, since they saw them as worthless.

But the opposite happened — the world came under the control of the Five Organizations, and stability prevailed.

Four of them operate openly, while a fifth secretly controls the entire black market — a move that showed the intelligence and strength of the head of the Intelligence Organization.

And despite the existence of a black market, anyone who crossed the line or committed a crime too heinous was quietly eliminated by the Intelligence Organization.

In some cases, they even pretended to recruit such criminals into the organization — but in truth, they were executed without mercy.

This helped the organization look "even more evil" to gain the trust of villains and deviants, so no one suspected their true intentions.

Yet public hatred was mostly directed toward the Al-Adl Organization.

But no villain could ever lay a hand on it.

On this specific day, citizens across the world woke up to shocking, unprecedented news:

Coordinated terrorist attacks by criminals from all over the world.

Chaos spread, and citizens were warned not to leave their homes.

Everyone felt anxious and confused — no one knew what was happening.

Within minutes, news outlets, newspapers, and posts on social media spread like wildfire, condemning the Four Organizations for "neglect" and calling for them to be replaced, along with exposing their photos.

Debates and endless news filled every platform.

At that moment, citizens felt something was wrong:

How could such a massive smear campaign emerge less than fifteen minutes after the attacks began?

People started believing there was a battle happening on social media meant to mislead them.

They grew afraid: should they trust this? Should they still go to work?

They looked at their families and remembered the chaos of seven years ago.

Fear spread — fear that this peace would not last.

They prayed, hoping nothing worse would happen.

Ten minutes later, an announcement spread across all verified news outlets and TV channels:

The situation was under control.

All the criminals responsible for the chaos had been captured.

Number of injuries and deaths: Zero.

It was revealed that the Al-Adl Organization had caught them so fast that the criminals themselves hadn't even realized what was happening — thinking their plan had worked, only to be instantly crushed.

It was then announced that a secret network aiming to spread fear, panic, and misinformation had been dismantled, and its members arrested for investigation.

Citizens were relieved by this news.

Some were skeptical at first, but when they saw the live-streamed footage of the criminals being arrested, they felt calm again, as if they had just awoken from a nightmare.

Then came the announcement that the most famous news anchor in the world, from the most trusted channel, would deliver a live urgent broadcast summarizing what had happened in just ten minutes.

Every citizen tuned in — young or old, president or worker, even the poorest — everyone sat in front of their screens.

The influence of this anchor was so immense that her presence alone brought calm to the entire world.

Ten minutes passed.

The anchor appeared, her beauty striking but her gaze sharp and commanding, forcing everyone to pay attention — not just because of her looks, but because of the weight of her presence.

She looked straight at the camera, calm, as though nothing dangerous had happened — yet her strong voice made everyone feel the gravity of her words:

"Greetings to all citizens watching across the world.

I hope you appreciate the fact that you can see me again today.

This morning, we all woke up to news of criminals across the globe launching a massive operation aimed at destroying society and ending the peace we live in."

Then she gave a small, mocking laugh:

"All of us looked at our families, hoping this would end quickly.

And not only that — we discovered that a secret network on social media was deliberately pushing people into fear and panic."

People watching grew emotional — because that was exactly how they felt.

Then she leaned in, her tone softer, pulling everyone's full attention:

"And why?

Because there are people who don't deserve to be called human — mere deviants whose only goal is to kill and turn the world into a jungle where anything goes.

And all of this happened because of the golden light and the strange eagle that appeared in the sky, making people feel stronger and making the use of Heka easier.

They believed this was their chance to strike — to prove their strength with a sudden attack.

They showed off as if they were heroes, as if what they were doing was glorious — all because of movies and shows from the past that romanticized such actions, portraying deviants as mentally ill people we should feel sorry for and help."

Then she laughed bitterly:

"So what?

Were they expecting me to hand them my own son so they could torture him — because they are 'mentally ill'?

Did they want us to sacrifice a few children, or even men and women, for them — because they are sick and we should be 'compassionate' towards them?

Are we supposed to call that their 'healing process'?

No.

These are parasites, pests of society, who use their so-called illness as an excuse to do whatever they want — threatening the peace of billions of people just because they want to live in some twisted fantasy world.

Where are the rights of those billions of people?

Doesn't a mother who lost her child have rights?

Doesn't a father whose daughter was violated and murdered in the worst way deserve justice?

And then we go and make movies glorifying these criminals — portraying them as heroes because the world is 'cruel' and they had 'no choice'?"

She paused.

The silence itself became heavy, almost like a plea for help.

Then she spoke again, softer, her eyes now filled with sorrow:

"I know we all read and enjoy our time, but you must understand — your minds are being programmed by these deviants to make you think like them.

We are all competing to achieve our dreams — so watch carefully what is programming your mind, so that it helps you fulfill those dreams.

Today, we were seconds away from a world thrown into chaos — a world that, for these deviants, would have been a playground of excitement, but for us ordinary people, a living hell where no one could trust anyone, where we'd do anything just to protect our families."

Her tone shifted back to steel, her powerful gaze returned:

"So, people of the world — if you feel like you have these urges, or if you live with someone who wishes to see you hurt — protect yourself.

You are only oppressing your own soul.

In the end, we will all die, and you will face the most severe punishment after death.

Protect yourselves and your children — for we are no longer citizens of nations, but citizens of this planet.

The entire Earth is united now, protecting itself from external threats."

Then she closed with solemn words:

"May Allah protect the people of Earth and all humankind.

And may He remove from among us those who wish for our death.

I hope to see you all again next time, when we bring you the long-awaited news — the announcement of the Fifth Organization: the Organization of Medicine and Research.

Thank you."

The broadcast ended quickly, but it left the entire world in shock.

People looked around and realized — those criminals were just humans like them, which meant there would always be more criminals, or worse, some of them might become criminals themselves.

They understood that the most important thing was to learn how to defend themselves and at the very least hold on to their principles.

The world fell silent — as though waking up from a deep slumber.

Meanwhile, in Egypt, an emergency meeting was held, gathering the most powerful and influential people in the world.

Minister Hussein spoke:

"Just as the ancient papyrus foretold, everything has happened — and we have brought the situation under control."

Next Stop: The Meeting.
