"Target eliminated." Lazuli radioed in. "Their god is dead."
Dune, Hansel, and Herschelle celebrated the news back in the house of the Cardinal Nexus Ministers where they resided.
"Great job!" Dune replied. "That is the initiating step to our overtaking. From here, we only have one more step to ensure our success. Is it ready, Kingston?"
"My men are ready to activate it whenever. On your go."
A wicked smile spread across Dune's face. While the people of Elysia watched in horror as their goddess was dying, the Ministers of the Cardinal Nexus had more to unleash before they were finished.
"Do it, now."
FWOOP—!
A resonating high-pitched tone began to ring from a place high above the masses. In the province of Aljaffe, where Elysia's tallest tower resided, a device of high calibre was set atop the tower's peak. The Ministers called the device Ellipses Point. It was meant to emit a frequency that could be heard from so far, that its radius stretched around the world and even a thousand miles outwards from the surface. The device was meant to disfigure the memories of those who listened.
"After today, the moon will forever be forgotten, Menesism will forever be forgotten, and religion will forever be abolished." Dune's sinister smile lit up the room, with Herschelle included. "It worked in our favour that they all went to Santorium. Installing the Ellipses Point on the tower was a lot easier without any guards present."
Dune agreed. "The memory-wiping should be taking place as we speak."
The high-pitched tone only continued to resonate, and as it did, the minds of everyone in Elysia and the world were distorted. The very memories of the Moon's existence and Menesism's existence were being wiped from the minds of the earth's population. As the memory-wiping occurred, stalling everyone in place without their knowledge, the Moon slowly dissolved in the nuke's explosion into absolutely nothing, leaving behind only dark empty space. Once the process was over, the Cardinal Nexus would make their final move as a political party.
The day of the election was just at dawn.
