Chapter 420

White House, Washington D.C., USA

The president sat in his world-famous presidential office, which had appeared in many Hollywood movies. He was watching the video broadcast on the computer in front of him with great interest. From time to time, he would dance and gesticulate in the air, as if he had returned to his childhood.

The video was of Marches teaching magic. The number of views on this video worldwide had already exceeded the original record in the Guinness Book of World Records. At every single moment, people were watching and learning.

As an old man in his seventies, he was still able to have childish fun. During his presidency, he also used his power to convene renowned scholars across the country to research and study magic together.

From the results, the content in the video seemed true. Whether it was the application of those magic runes, the method of meditation, or even some mysterious runes that no one knew about, they all had some similar aspects to some ancient cultures of Earth.

This was precisely in line with the independence of supernatural forces and also explained why the major countries could not uncover anything after the emergence of supernatural forces. It was simply that these supernatural powers were too systematic and self-contained. Those who did not understand or know about the system would not be able to study it at all.

Nowadays, the hottest professions were those who served gods. Many variety shows were also becoming more spiritually focused. Those who called it feudal superstition in the past could only turn around and accept it as the truth.

Moreover, in the video, the mage apprentices could be seen to be truly learning and mastering some magic. They were able to make a cup float with the magic [Mage’s Hand], fetch a pen, and so on. These abilities might have seemed very weak, but it proved that the magic being taught could also be learned.

Nowadays, countless people all over the world had become obsessed with magic and fallen into fervent madness. Every day after waking up, before going to bed, and even before meals, they would pray devoutly and use all their spare time to learn about magic.

From the video, they could see that the school of magic was very humane. There was even a holiday every year, allowing these apprentices to return to the real world to meet with their families. This alone made people believe that this so-called magic academy was not a scam. Otherwise, when the students returned they would be exposed at once.

“This world really is mysterious. I don’t know if I’m fortunate or unfortunate to be the president.”

The President shook his head. As the President of the United States of America, he naturally had access to all the hidden secrets that mortals in this world could know, but the pressure of being president in this situation was unusually high. There was even a huge risk to his life.

If these people with supernatural powers really wanted to assassinate him, how were the CIA people going to protect him?

After trying to forget the vague unease inside him, he used his break time to continue learning magic, drawing signs with his finger and trying to correctly pronounce the incantation.

In truth, he learned nothing at all just like most of the people who were following this video to learn magic. They could only watch as those mage apprentices in the video gradually master the extraordinary power and only blame themselves for having no talent. Magic could only be learned by those with talent.

However, he did not give up learning. It wasn’t that he was stubborn, but because he found that performing the prayer and meditation uplifted his spirits. As an old man, he was not as tired as he used to be, and even after getting a full body check-up, the doctors found that he was healthier than in the past.

The old mage in the video taught the method of prayer and meditation, which was definitely in line with health. With the pace of today’s world, many people were living unhealthy lifestyles. After finding that prayer and meditation were beneficial to the body, how could they not spend some time every day praying and meditating a bit?

Although Earth did not have any real mysteries, Louie was a true god, allowing him to more or less affect the world. He was able to provide feedback on those prayers from his believers. Moreover, the meditation that mages of San Soliel used to clear their spirits could be done by anyone. These two combined created the current situation.

After some random gestures, the president stared at the cup for a long time but wasn’t able to make it float. He finally ended his ‘practice’ for the day. He couldn’t wait to open his phone and type out a new tweet detailing the results of his practice and calling all Americans to join in the daily prayers and meditate every day.

Some nations had even begun to discuss legislation to make prayer and meditation mandatory for children from the earliest age so that their society would be healthier.

Faith involved the soul, and meditation involved the spirit. This was the knowledge that the Terran Civilization wanted to obtain, but the current Earth could be said to be ahead of them at this moment.

After posting today’s tweet and ending his meditation, the president, who felt refreshed and invigorated, was ready to continue addressing the major issues of the country. While he was thinking of how to go about tearing up the opposition party and legislators, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside his office.

Knock knock knock—

A quick and strong knock came from the other side of the heavy wooden door. The president hastily put away his cell phone to save himself from being harassed by the Secretary of Defense for sending out random tweets. At the same time, he turned off the video to prevent the Secretary of State from complaining about him not doing his job. After cleaning up his desk, he coughed and said, “Come in.”

The wooden door was pushed open. To the president’s surprise, the Secretary of Defense brought along a large group of people inside. These people came in and quickly closed the door to prevent anything from leaking outside.

“What’s happening?”

Seeing so many people arrive at the same time, the president knew that something big had happened. He hurriedly sat us straight and leaned back in his chair with a solemn expression.

However, since the appearance of supernatural powers on Earth, his tolerance towards surprising information had grown and his control over his emotions had drastically improved. Idle matters no longer caused his emotions to drastically change as he was able to casually calm himself.

However, what he learned next still made his hands and feet cold—

“Your Excellency, this is a matter of great importance to the United States of America and the survival of the entire human race on Earth!”

The Secretary of Defense took two quick steps and placed a stack of information in front of the President’s desk.

“A matter of life and death for the United States of America and humanity? Don’t exaggerate too much.”

The president rubbed his head only to feel his forehead throb from looking at the thick stack of information in front of him.

He wasn’t interested in going through the information in detail and pushed it aside, “Explain in the most concise language, what is going on?”

The others weren’t really expecting the president to read through this information as it would take too much time. The Secretary of Defense and an old man looked at each other with frightened and panicked expressions before turning back to the president, “An asteroid, or to be more precise, a moon of Jupiter, is headed towards Earth. It’s estimated to have a 90% chance of falling in the North American region!”
