As they looked up, the majority of people and the cameras of media journalists followed suit.
At that instant,
everyone at the venue, along with the entire world watching the live broadcast, fell silent.
Then,
an unbelievable scene unfolded.
The ceiling of the United Nations Headquarters meeting center suddenly became intensely hot, the erstwhile pristine surface of the ceiling beginning to emit a strange red glow.
The glow spread quickly, with the entire ceiling seeming to be enveloped by some high-temperature force, the color changing from light red to deep red and finally turning into a dazzling fiery red.
The delegates widened their eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Some instinctively retreated.
But the security teams sent by the three superpowers quickly controlled the order, and the armed teams reassured everyone.
Everyone continued to quietly watch the scene above their heads that seemed slow to describe but was actually changing very rapidly.
