Chapter 902 Armageddon
Chapter 902 Armageddon
Since the city was floating in the sky, they weren’t affected but Shiro could see the earth below them quake.
Mountains started to collapse as large ravines opened up.
Clutching her head, Shiro couldn’t help but feel dizzy from the amount of mana and divine energy she was sensing.
Glancing back at the party, she could see that they were also having some difficulties.
Shaking her head, she quickly left the command centre and floated above the city.
From what she remembered seeing when she peeked into Vulcan, the god slayer’s memories, this was just the start of the transformation.
Suddenly, large pillars of light erupted around the world as three appeared above the city. Recognising these to be the lights that showed where the anchors are, Shiro frowned at the sheer number of pillars that she could see in this world.
As the lights faded, the stars in the sky were erased from sight. With just a blanket of midnight blue, a lone moon shone softly.
Lava started to flow out of the ravines that opened up in the ground as the land was torn apart. Sea water floated through the cracks and created a split in the land as strange landforms appeared in the world, replacing the land that was previously there. From trees that seemed to be made from crystals to caves that have been formed by rapidly cooled lava, the world continued to change around them.
Suddenly, a few of the islands were ripped from the sea and started to float into the sky.
Golden arches and buildings slowly appeared as Shiro understood that it was a ruin from another world.
*URAHHH!!!!!
A draconic cry could be heard as a large dragon head appeared from the lava.
[Dimanos LVL 600 Ancient Dragon of Fire]
Unfurling its wings that shadowed the land, an aura exploded out of him as the land around him was immediately transformed into a world of fire. The trees were burnt to ashes and all that remained was delicate pillars of ash that collapsed from the earthquake.
The mountains were transformed into volcanoes which erupted immediately, sending hot ash into the clouds.
Lightning flickered within the clouds as the dragon stood in the middle of this hellscape like a god of destruction.
Furrowing her brows, Shiro immediately transported the city away since fighting here would be bad. Plus, with the world changing rapidly, they didn’t know if more monsters would appear near them.
Teleporting the city to the sea, Shiro was shocked at the sheer number of monsters that had appeared in the sea.
Armoured creatures with luminescent lights around their bodies could be seen swimming around, crushing the previously believed ’powerful’ monsters with a single bite.
Glancing up in the sky, wyverns and dragons seemed to become a common sight as they would swoop down and hunt these armoured creatures and drag them out of the sea.
Swiping her hand, she saw that the internet was going crazy as countless pictures and live streams showed the absolute chaos happening in the world right now.
Tall buildings collapsed around them while the ground would break beneath their feet.
In some places, the world would be frozen over as a giant furred beast could be barely spotted in the blizzard. Its glowing red eyes seemed to be able to freeze anyone that it saw as countless statues of frozen adventurers filled the streets.
Portals would open up randomly as monsters spewed out of the openings and drag civilians into their mouths, crushing them apart before spitting some unwanted flesh out to the side.
’The casualties are definitely past the millions now.’ Shiro thought with a frown.
{Indeed. And it doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon too.} Nimue furrowed her brows.
Raising her hand up, Shiro created a giant sword of nanobots before slashing it to the side, cutting apart one of the sea monsters that had jumped out of the water in an attempt to take a bite out of the city.
Watching the body fall back into the water, Shiro could see a swarm of monsters eating its corpse as blood tainted the sea.
With the world changing, it was hard to find a good place for the city right now so she quickly camouflaged everything so that they won’t get attacked.
Raising the turrets, Shiro had them shoot any monster that got too close.
Glancing down at the city, she could see the fear in the people’s eyes as the humans were pale at the sight of civilisation being destroyed with such ease.
Landmarks, historical sights and famous places were being shredded apart and there was nothing they could do. The government was trying their best to evacuate everyone to a safe location that they had previously prepared but quite a few of the bunkers collapsed during the earthquake so safety was quite hard to find right now.
Thankfully, the city of Asharia was airborne so it wasn’t affected by the world changing below them.
Seeing the destruction, the people that had been arrested before couldn’t help but feel grateful that they were allowed back in the city. If they had to survive down there, the chance of death was quite high.
"Things aren’t looking good are they?" Nan Tian said as he appeared next to her.
He was still clutching his head from the pain but he recovered enough to converse with her.
"Mn, I don’t even know if the three cities that I wanted to put my anchors in are safe anymore. Tokyo is having some difficulties right now since ghosts, zombies and undead creatures started to run rampant. The cities that have anchors placed in them receive a barrier of sorts that prevents destruction but monsters still spawn nearby so it would be up to the Queen to protect them. If only we have placed anchors in the three spots earlier, we could have prevented a lot of deaths." Shiro frowned since this change was more destructive than what she had expected.
"Let’s just hope that they can find a way out." Nan Tian sighed since there wasn’t much they could do. While the city could expand and Shiro can gather more people, how many will they be able to save out of the billions of humans in the world? That wasn’t including the other races as well!
Biting her nail, Shiro glanced over at Nan Tian.
"We’re going to make a move. While we can’t get too many people, the best we can do right now is to eliminate the monsters that are surrounding the cities. Help me contact the pilots that can pilot their mechs properly right now. The more powerful they are, the more overwhelmed they’ll be by the mana and divine energy. Shiina and the others might be out of commission right now." Shiro frowned as Nan Tian nodded.
"I’ll see what I can do. Where are we going first?" He asked as destruction was happening everywhere in the world.
"It doesn’t matter, we’re going to be travelling through the world quickly and dispatching the mechs where we can. Once they’re done, they can teleport back to the hanger. I’m already getting the drones to add a return function to the mechs right now." Shiro ordered as her face was completely serious.
Flexing her fingers, a portal opened up in front of them.
Teleporting to New York, they were going to provide as much relief as they can for the people.
Disappearing from his spot, Nan Tian rushed towards the military so that he could find the right personnel for the job. While this was happening, the rest of the party had recovered somewhat as both Madison and Isilia could immediately start clearing the monsters in New York.
Sending them down with some protection just in case, Shiro had Asharia fly towards the next city. Both Madison and Isilia can teleport back once they’re done. The main thing they had to remember was that they had to deploy reinforcement to as many of the cities as they could.
Looking at a giant insect that crawled out from a ravine that had split open near New York, Shiro narrowed her eyes and snapped her fingers. Suddenly, the turrets locked onto the insect and fired immediately.
Eradicating the insect completely, Shiro sent out drones so that they could place down teleport nodes for her.
Using these teleport motes, she can send the mechs into battle without having to fly to the city manually.
"What a mess." Shiro muttered as she tied her hair into a ponytail. Massaging her head for a moment, she took a deep breath and narrowed her eyes.
She was going to help out as well and take care of the more powerful monsters in a few of the cities.
