Chapter 586

Ensure the safety of the launch tower, observe the status of the launch tower, and record the data of the launch tower.

At the same time, outside.

The earthquake began.

In the fog zone, in the ritual position of the Fifth Church, in the artillery position of the Foundation, near Belobog...

The entire planet shook, as if it had been caught in an indescribable cosmic storm.

The people of Belobog in the landing craft saw it most clearly.

The mother planet that carried their civilization and raised them was shaking for some reason, and every piece of land was vibrating.

New mountain ranges rose at the plate boundaries, ocean trenches became deeper, and volcanoes that had long been dormant became active at this moment.

"Mr. Svarog, Jarilo-VI, everyone's home... should be fine, right?"

Clara grabbed Svarog's coat, anxious and helpless.

"Sorry, Clara, there is no relevant data in my database, and I cannot calculate... but the Foundation personnel we see, their intention to save Jarilo-VI is real."

Svarog patted Clara's back gently, soothing the girl's mood.

For all Belobogians, the current situation is undoubtedly quite difficult.

A supreme divinity harvesting civilization, incomprehensible extraordinary power, a precarious hometown that could be destroyed at any time.

Svarog had already heard Hook's slight crying in the next room.

Bronya was invited to the captain's room to know what was happening on Jarilo-VI at this moment and how the entire system of the Foundation was operating.

Jarilo-VI, outside the ruins.

"What are they doing down there, why is it so noisy?"

The agent removed the melted rune and replaced it with a spare.

"If you ask me that, should I go down and ask?"

"You two stop talking nonsense, if you still have strength, hold on for a while longer."

Group A leader glared at the bickering agents, but didn't say anything more.

Maintaining such an array has been consuming their mental power; if they wait until the mental power is exhausted, if they force it to be maintained, it will even consume their life force.

He looked back tiredly.

Behind them, seven exhausted agents lay on the ground, some with half-white hair, and others with shriveled flesh, like skeletons.

Sorry, you have to lie down for a while longer... the leader forced himself to cheer up and increased his support for the array.

But just at this moment, he noticed a strange anomaly.

Like an itch.

He was stunned to find that the ability he could use like an arm was now completely ignoring his commands.

He was about to open his mouth to ask.

But he heard a crisp cracking sound.

The protective array shrouding the Group A agents and the entrance to the ruins shattered.

And the ritual strike of the Fifth Church had arrived, about to shroud them.

I've done my best... the leader thought so, resigned himself to fate, and closed his eyes.

The expected burning and pain did not come. The leader had a trace of doubt in his heart and opened his eyes.

But he saw that the beam pointing at them was rapidly decreasing in brightness, and even its form was difficult to maintain.

It suddenly collapsed in front of them, turning into dots of light, like ice cubes falling into boiling water, disappearing completely.

He opened his hands, kept grabbing with his five fingers, feeling the changes in the world.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and said to himself:

"So that's it, lowering the EVE particle concentration in the air until it reaches a state of ether vacuum..."

He smiled unkindly and looked toward the ritual position of the Fifth Church.

Thousands upon thousands of brilliant rays of light came from the distance, from outside the sky, densely intertwined there, weaving a death net.

The entire world lost its color at that moment, and the incomparably violent strong light drowned everything.

When vision was restored, only a large crater remained there, as if it had been hit by a meteorite.

The audience breathed a sigh of relief one after another.

"This should be the end, right."

"It can be considered a narrow escape; the culprit has been judged, Jarilo-VI is safe, and the universe is temporarily safe."

"The process was still quite thrilling; I almost decided to move my whole family to another world."

However, contrary to the audience's expectations, the movement of the earth had not ended, and the movement of the sky followed.

The sky at noon suddenly dimmed, the gloomy wind roared, and the turbid waves emptied.

The continuous fog, as well as the flying dust, under the traction of unknown forces, constantly gathered and swirled, eventually forming a huge vortex above the ruins.

Viewed from the universe, this vortex is the center of the planet's cyclone.

And in the vortex, a black spherical object slowly emerged.

Its appearance is a deep black like an abyss, not reflecting light at all, but instead swallowing everything into it.

"Event horizon?! How is this possible?!" Herta was dumbfounded.

Are you kidding me? Even if the entire Jarilo-VI were converted into a black hole, you couldn't make a black hole with an event horizon of more than one meter!

What kind of principle is this?!

Screwllum remained calm, carefully observing the black sphere in the picture.

"No, Herta," the mechanical gentleman shook his head, "that is not a black hole."

"Look, there is no gravitational phenomenon around it—the light is not bent, and no accretion cloud has formed around it."

Herta zoomed in on the picture, made a few marks on the screenshot, calculated quickly for a while, and nodded, acknowledging Screwllum's statement:

"Then what could it be? A strange phenomenon caused by the offset of 'Omniscience' and 'Unknown'?"

"We have no way of knowing... or rather, I don't understand the battle happening on Jarilo-VI at all."

Screwllum spread his hands helplessly.

Just when people were curious about how the Foundation would deal with this mysterious black sphere.

The Foundation announced the simplest and most efficient plan.

—Orbital strike.

In the picture, the text flickered constantly between black and red.

【Alert, orbital strike is ready.】

【Alert, orbital strike has arrived.】

Thirteen seconds later.

The weapon array on the starship fired at the same time, and the high-energy jet hit the event horizon directly, but it seemed to be swallowed, causing no damage.

On the contrary, it caused further anomalous phenomena.

Jarilo-VI began to darken.

The reflectivity of the planet's surface continued to decline until it completely disappeared to the human eye and optical observation systems.

"Where is Jarilo-VI? Where did my big ball go?"

"What is going on again?!"

The residents looked at the strange phenomenon in front of them, feeling more and more desperate.

But just at this moment.

A crisp and pleasant bell rang out of thin air.

"Ding-a-ling~"

The agents on Jarilo-VI heard it, the soldiers on the starship and the residents of Belobog heard it, and the audience watching this battle also heard it.

That was a pure, flawless bell sound.

But it was unknown where it came from, or who rang it. ===== CHAPTER 588 =====
