| Time: 11:00 PM (The Void Chamber - Virtual Summit)
Far from the prying eyes of the public, within an encrypted virtual dimension known as 'The Void Chamber,' the world's most powerful S-Rankers—those hailed as 'Titans' or 'Monarchs'—convened in a state of unprecedented alarm.
Nine holographic chairs materialized in the digital gloom. One seat remained pointedly empty. Isadora had refused to attend; after witnessing the carnage in Siberia firsthand, she had lost all interest in the political posturing of her peers.
The session was inaugurated by Mason Steele (USA), "The Unstoppable Shield." Surrounding him were the avatars of Juliette (France), Viktor Volkov (Russia), Arthur Pendragon (UK), and Han-Seong (South Korea). The air in the virtual chamber felt heavy, as if the collective anxiety of the world's elite had given the digital space its own crushing gravity.
The Shadow of Siberia
"We are gathered to discuss an event that defies human logic," Mason Steele's voice boomed, vibrating through the virtual floor. "The massacre in Siberia was not a tactical raid. To erase twenty thousand S-Rank monsters in a mere thirty minutes... that is an achievement that lies far beyond the capabilities of any S-Ranker in this room."
Viktor Volkov slammed his fist onto the table, his holographic form flickering with rage. "I have reviewed the classified footage. He did not merely kill the Emerald King; he dismantled him like a broken toy. That level of brutality... it wasn't human. It was demonic."
Han-Seong, the Arcane Sage, adjusted his mana-monitors. "I have analyzed the mana-signature of the entity. It matches no known registered hunter. So, who is he? Did China deploy their 'Gravity Warden' (Zhang Wei)? China has remained an Isolated State for exactly 1 year and 6 months, severing all ties with the outside world. It is highly probable they are testing a new tier of weapon."
The Suspects: India and the Sleeping King
"What of India?" Arthur Pendragon inquired, his brow furrowed. "The incident occurred in the immediate wake of the death of Garud Vajra's Vice-Leader. Is this a secret asset of the Indian government?"
Juliette shook her head dismissively. "Impossible. India possesses only one SS-Ranker—Chirag. And it is common knowledge that he has been in a vegetative coma for over a year. According to N.D.A. intelligence, his chances of survival are negligible. Adiraj is a formidable S-Ranker, yes, but he lacks the raw destructive output to achieve such a feat."
"Then where did this 'Anonymous Monarch' come from?" Mason Steele looked around the circle. "He did not harm a single human. In fact, he saved our hunters. He appears to be an ally of humanity, yet he operates entirely outside our established systems."
The Verdict: Silence and Strength
A profound silence descended upon the chamber. These were individuals who considered themselves the gods of the modern era, yet the shadow of a single unknown warrior had forced them into a position of absolute caution.
"Our conclusion is simple," Mason Steele stated, standing tall. "We will not hunt this demon. If he possesses the power to solo twenty thousand S-Rank entities, he possesses the power to erase every one of us. We do not provoke him."
"But we must remain vigilant," Han-Seong added. "We must focus on our Tier evolution with renewed desperation. If such a power exists in this world, then we are currently nothing more than sheep waiting for the slaughter. We must close the gap."
The summit concluded, leaving the S-Rankers with the haunting image of a black mask and violet eyes. They believed they were tracking a God, unaware that the 'Monarch' was a nineteen-year-old boy in Mumbai, currently reading a bedtime story to his little sister.
