BXBX NOVEL Chapter 313 Against The World
News outlets under the Black Hand\'s subtle control painted Silas as the mastermind. He was labeled a rogue actor, a warlord with advanced technology who sought to destabilize the global order.
The world\'s most powerful nations took notice—or they finally had a reason to act. Within days, an emergency summit of global leaders convened.
In a secret meeting room guarded by the best security forces on the planet, representatives from the United States, China, Russia, the European Union, and other top nations gathered.
The atmosphere was tense as accusations flew and blame was assigned, but one point of agreement emerged: Silas Kurt had become an existential threat.
---
As the summit concluded, a unified declaration of war was announced. The World Coalition, comprising the planet\'s strongest military powers, issued an ultimatum to Silas: surrender all technological assets and submit to international oversight, or face complete annihilation.
The ultimatum was delivered through an encrypted broadcast, which Luna intercepted and displayed on a holographic screen inside Silas\'s underground facility. The coalition\'s spokesperson, a stern-faced general, stared into the camera with unyielding resolve.
"Silas Kurt," the general began, his voice echoing with authority. "Your unchecked power threatens the safety and sovereignty of the nations of the world.
You have been deemed an international threat. Surrender your technologies, cease all operations, and submit to our authority. Failure to comply will result in immediate and overwhelming force."
Silas leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable. Luna\'s voice broke the silence. {Master, the Coalition has mobilized their forces. Intelligence shows coordinated airstrikes, naval blockades, and cyberattacks are being prepared.}
He tapped his fingers on the armrest thoughtfully before finally responding. "They think I\'m the threat?" His voice was calm, but his eyes blazed with intensity. "They just want to complete what the Black Hand couldn\'t, and now they\'re about to learn what real power looks like."
---
Rather than issue a rebuttal through diplomatic channels, Silas chose to speak directly to the world.
Luna broadcasted his message across every major network, bypassing firewalls and encryption with ease. Silas appeared on screens worldwide, his image crisp and commanding.
"To the leaders of the World Coalition," he began, his voice steady yet laced with steel, "You point your weapons at me, in the name of defending your people, but you\'re only furthering your own agenda."
He leaned forward slightly, his tone growing sharper. "If you think you can scare me into surrending, just forget it. I will not bow to anyone and not even your little group. But I won\'t start this war. You will. And when you do, remember this: I do not lose."
The message ended abruptly, leaving the world in stunned silence.

The World Coalition wasted no time. Within hours of Silas\'s broadcast, military operations were underway:
Fighter jets launched from carriers in the Atlantic and Pacific targeted Silas\'s known operations in South America and his advanced energy facilities in Africa.
Massive fleets deployed to choke off trade routes and disrupt supply lines to Silas\'s allies.
The Coalition\'s top hackers worked tirelessly to penetrate Luna\'s systems and compromise Silas\'s defensive infrastructure.
The sheer scale of the operation was unprecedented. The Coalition\'s leaders believed their combined might would overwhelm Silas before he could retaliate. They underestimated him.
---
Silas, always a step ahead, had prepared for such an assault. The first wave of airstrikes was intercepted by the Erebus Array.
The array emitted electromagnetic pulses that disabled incoming fighter jets mid-flight, causing them to crash into the sea of the ground.
Coalition pilots reported back to their commanders, shaken by the ease with which their technology had been neutralized.
Meanwhile, Silas\'s Leviathan Amarda began its operation. The Coalition\'s naval blockades were vast, but the Leviathan vessels moved silently beneath the waves, their cloaking systems rendering them undetectable.
One by one, Coalition ships were disabled by non-lethal torpedoes that left them adrift, powerless and unable to continue their mission.
The cyberattacks posed the greatest challenge. The Coalition\'s hackers targeted Luna directly, attempting to breach her systems and shut down Silas\'s defenses.
But Luna, far more advanced than any system they had encountered, not only repelled their efforts but launched a counteroffensive.
Coalition servers across the globe went dark as Luna infiltrated their networks, exposing classified operations and sowing confusion among their ranks.
---
As the Coalition\'s initial offensive crumbled, Silas saw an opportunity to deliver a decisive blow.
He targeted one of their command hubs—a secure base in a remote region of the Atlantic—believed to be coordinating the naval operations.
Using real-time intel from Luna, Silas deployed a fleet of stealth drones armed with non-lethal weaponry.
The operation was surgical. The drones infiltrated the base\'s defenses, disabling communications and neutralizing the command center\'s personnel without a single casualty.
Silas then broadcasted a message to the remaining Coalition forces:
"Your leaders are playing a dangerous game, one they cannot win. Stand down before more lives are lost unnecessarily."
The Coalition, stunned by the swift and bloodless takeover, hesitated. For the first time, cracks began to form in their confidence.
---
Silas\'s actions sparked a firestorm of debate worldwide. In countries aligned with the Coalition, citizens began to question the narrative they were being fed.
Protests erupted in major cities, with demonstrators demanding answers from their governments. Social media exploded with support for Silas, many viewing him as a protector rather than a threat.
In response, the Coalition ramped up their propaganda machine, accusing Silas of endangering global stability and manipulating public sentiment. The battle for hearts and minds had begun.
---
Back in his underground facility, Silas reviewed the results of the day\'s battles. Luna provided an update.
{Master, the Coalition is regrouping. Their forces are mobilizing for a second wave of attacks. Intelligence shows they may attempt simultaneous strikes across multiple continents.}
Silas\'s expression hardened. "Let them come," he said. "They\'ve shown me their hand. Now it\'s time to show them mine."
As Luna prepared his next moves, Silas stood and gazed at the holographic map of the world, his resolve unshakable. "If they want to play this game, I\'ll show them what happens when you challenge someone who doesn\'t lose."
