Chapter 1724: Chapter 113: Disaster Strikes (Part 3)
...
Late at night.
"Father, there are shooting stars in the sky!"
Hearing the child’s voice, Hudson and Melissa stepped out of the camping tent. After a glance at the sky, their expressions immediately changed.
What streaked across the night sky wasn’t shooting stars but the falling Kingdom of God!
If this colossal structure were to fall entirely on the Continent of Aslante, it would undoubtedly be an apocalyptic disaster.
Struggling was meaningless; even Sanctuary powerhouses had no resistance against this level of catastrophe.
"Maxim, Belsden, have you seen this scene in your inherited memories?"
Hudson asked in horror.
Feeling the crisis of life and death, he realized how insignificant his once-proud strength was in the face of natural disaster.
"No!
The world is so vast, maybe we won’t be so unlucky to get hit directly!"
Belsden replied uncertainly.
Maxim, standing nearby, also nodded. Even the fearless giant dragon was cowed at this moment, involuntarily leaning towards Hudson.
In times of gambling on luck, one should stick with the luckiest person around. Fortunately, Hudson was considered the luckiest person in their eyes.
As for the others present, they were busy admiring this meteor shower, completely unaware that disaster was approaching them.
Hudson wasn’t the only one who noticed the anomaly; Sanctuary powerhouses across the continent began to panic upon witnessing this scene.
In the past, during disasters, they could still pray to the Divine Spirit for protection. But now, with the Divine Spirit no longer patrolling and the Kingdom of God falling, there was no place for their spirits to lean on.
For the first time, the Sanctuary powerhouses envied ordinary people. Ignorance is bliss; the ordinary people, unaware of the approaching disaster, were still admiring the splendid meteor shower.
Suddenly, loud rumbles echoed, and the entire continent began to tremble. Hudson clearly felt the change in the earth, as if the continent was about to turn over.
"Do not panic; the earthquake will soon pass!"
While Hudson was calming the crowd, there was a hint of post-calamity relief on his face. Not being hit directly was the greatest fortune.
Judging by the tremors, the falling Kingdom of God likely plunged into the ocean. If it had directly struck the continent, it wouldn’t have been just this minor commotion.
Almost simultaneously, the raging sea revealed its ferocity. Towering waves devoured countless ships and islands.
This was only the beginning; the waves continued to sweep in all directions. The guards in the cities were still unaware of what had happened as the once-flourishing New Moon Port was engulfed in an instant, with seawater filling the streets and alleys.
Similar scenes played out across the continent. Coastal cities suffered a streak of bad luck, being entirely submerged by the sea.
Even the coastal inhabitants, who had experienced tsunamis, were stunned by this scene.
The natural disaster continued to spread, and the entire Continent of Aslante could no longer find a piece of intact land.
In an instant, countless rulers came to firmly believe in the prophecy of a great calamity every hundred thousand years. Even the Dwarf King, who spread the rumors, slapped himself twice.
It was truly a jinx. With just a bit of bad luck earlier, the entire Continent of Aslante might have vanished from this world.
The various races of the continent narrowly escaped death, but the oceanic races became the biggest victims this time. Many marine empires and dynasties didn’t even know what hit them before being crushed into oblivion.
Even if they weren’t directly struck by the Kingdom of God, the undersea volcanic eruptions triggered by the impact and the subsequent water shockwave took countless marine species’ lives.
The Earth Core World was equally unfortunate. The descending Kingdom of God directly punched through the crust, turning countless Earth Core Beings into meat paste, killing others with shockwaves, or burying them alive in subsequent collapses...
However, this was only the beginning. Immediately followed by several more loud bangs, the ground shook even more violently, and a crack dozens of meters wide suddenly appeared before Hudson and his party.
