Chapter 28: The Great Flood

"On the seventeenth day of the second month, the springs of the great abyss were opened, and the windows of heaven were opened......

- The Bible-Old Testament

On the second day, February 17, Noah was six hundred and twenty years old.

On the seashore, from the distant place where the sea and the sky meet, a faint crimson glow gradually rose, and then, the glow grew larger and larger, and finally gradually rose, and the blazing sun gradually bloomed with brilliant brilliance, as it had done in the past.

And on the seashore, a huge ship is like an airtight box, quietly waiting for the impending unprecedented catastrophe......

The ship was full of animals, but the animals were unusually quiet, and there was not even any restlessness that animals usually emitted, as if they were waiting for something.

Shem, Noah's eldest son, seemed a little uneasy, and although he had known about his father's so-called "prophecy," he was actually a little skeptical. Also, your father suddenly told you one day that the world was about to end, and that it would be a hundred and twenty years from now, and no one would believe it.

However, as the ship was built, he did not know whether it was his father's madness or the truth, and since the past few days, the animals that had been concentrating on this place and acting extremely abnormally also made him feel deeply uneasy, and this uneasiness was even mixed with a certain strong premonition, which made him even begin to believe...... This is also true.

Flash couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of the window, where Noah, who was already in middle age, was holding on to the window of the big ship, staring at the sky outside the window in a daze.

"Father's ......"

He couldn't help but shout in his father's direction, but Noah didn't respond to his voice, as if he didn't hear it, just looked at the sky outside the window and muttered.

"Here ......

What the?

"Click!!

Before Flash could figure it out, there was a sudden thunderous roar from outside the ship, and his ears were shaken, and then the bright light coming in from the window suddenly dimmed, and the entire ship became a little dim, and suddenly shook violently, so that Flash could barely stand on his feet, and almost fell on the wooden floor of the ship.

"Moo......"

"Oh, ......"

The restless cries of all kinds of animals immediately sounded, and the whole big ship was shaking violently, but Shine, who built this big ship with his own hands, understood that this was impossible, this big ship of more than 10 million tons, was something that even Shining who built him with his own hands was dumbfounded and unimaginable, what kind of impact could make such a big ship sway turbulently?

Don't......

In an instant, a thought flashed through Shan's mind, he didn't care about the feet that were still swaying violently, stumbled close to the window, held on to the window, and suddenly looked up......

A magnificent and magnificent scene far beyond human imagination appeared in front of this small human being.

God, broken.

The vast heavenly dome that carries the flow of the sun and the moon, the replacement of hundreds of millions of stars, the endless clouds and endless glow, and covers the vast sky over hundreds of millions of miles of land...... At this moment, there is a big loophole.

In the sparkling pupils, in the very center of the sky, an indescribably large hole was reflected in his retina, and even if he tried to keep his eyes open, he could not see the whole picture of the huge hole.

Cold, silent, dead silent...... And great.

In his sight, the many clouds and glow were like whirlpools, turning into broken ribbons that slowly swirled around the huge hole, and many thunderbolts and storms shone in the clouds, and even the sun lost its luster in front of the huge hole.

And from that huge hole, an infinite amount of water poured down from the holes in the sky, forming a vast column of water, which poured directly into the sea.

Even the most imaginative painter could never depict this magnificent scene of madness, and the column of water was so striking and conspicuous that it was like a giant pillar that supported the heavens and the earth, pouring water from the heavens into the earth.

The water rose so fast, accompanied by the monstrous water column that poured down, forming wave after wave of tides that covered the sky and the sun, surging in all directions in a deafening sound, and the tides that were thousands of meters high and 10,000 meters high were like mountains collapsing towards all parts of the world.

Under the gaze of Shan, the monstrous waves that came from afar advanced towards him step by step, becoming bigger and bigger step by step, and the tide became higher step by step, until it ...... High enough to obscure all light, high enough to cover all the sky, and to fill all the sights of the flash, the impenetrable wall of immensity, towering higher than the mountain, across the heavens and the earth.

“......”

Deep despair filled Flash's heart, his pupils uncontrollably dilated and widened, and he opened his mouth unconsciously wide, but the extreme shock made the human even temporarily lose the ability to speak, unable to make any sound.

"Boom ......"

In the violently dilated pupils, the sky-high wall suddenly fell......

......

Barbalogu.

It is a port city known as the "Black Pearl of the Sea" among the nearby nations, as hundreds of merchant ships and fleets sail here every day to trade with nearby towns and beyond.

The guards who faithfully perform their duties, the alchemical armor with magic on patrol, the magicians who use magic and alchemy, the merchants who wield the power of money, and the citizens who live in the harbor make up such a vibrant port city. Jillian, on the other hand, is the guard who watches over the lighthouse whether the pirates may come or not.

During the day, he watched the ships at sea to guard against the sudden arrival of pirates, and at night, he lit a lighthouse to guide the lost fleet in the darkness.

Beginning with its father and grandfather, its family has been holding on to this job for nearly a thousand years, which is an extremely long time even for humans with a lifespan of thousands of years. But even in the course of such a long time, Jillian, and even his family...... I have never seen such a shocking scene.

Above the high heavenly dome, a huge hole appeared.

The water pouring down from the hole formed a huge column of water, which could be clearly seen even from the perspective of the port, and the tide of the water was sweeping towards the thriving city at an unimaginable speed......

Stunned, he opened his mouth wide, and in his sight, the tide was at first just a thin white line, then gradually thickened, then formed the outline of the tide, and then, thicker and larger, and finally ...... It's as big as a behemoth about to swallow up the port city.

Fear, shock, deep despair......

But the last vestige of sanity made the guard, who had adhered to a thousand-year-old tradition, finally react instinctively.

Hold on to the bumper wood, and then fight hard in the muscles that tremble and fear, the last of the strength......

"Bell !!!!!!!!"

In an instant, the roaring warning bells resounded throughout the city.

"Escape !!"

In the midst of the bells, there seemed to be a hoarse sound.

And the next moment, the tide that obscured the sky and the sun had already hit, crashing into the entire lighthouse and swallowing up the endless ships in an instant.
