Around the World, JIWG-17976785 Administrative District, somewhere.

The sky was dark, the ground was shaking, and the villa was brightly lit.

In the lavish banquet, the cheerful singing music also stopped for a while, and most of them were pale and frightened, staring at the vast darkness looming above the heavenly dome. Even a prosthetic eye could hardly see what the distorted and wriggling darkness was, whether it was scales, a figure, or a pupil.

I can't see it clearly, and no one knows.

But in the midst of all this fear, there are still a few people who remain unmoved.

"Be quiet, ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet. ”

In the bright banquet, a middle-aged man spoke.

His clothes are meticulous and his style is calm, as if to prove the seriousness and seriousness of the owner of the clothes. His voice was steady, his tone was calm, and his eagle-sharp gaze slowly swept over the people around him, and those who had been watched by him couldn't help but lower their original exclamations and whispers.

The people who were originally restless and panicked restored order again under his gaze.

Then, the middle-aged man raised the wine glass in his hand and said in a loud voice.

"Laugh, laugh, joyful, noble, proud, laugh, laugh, before this death comes, let us laugh. Ladies and gentlemen, let us be decent in the face of death. ”

And with his words, the song that had come to an abrupt end also sounded, and the cheerful tune washed away the confusion, and the people danced again,

In the spiritual energy fluctuations that continue to spread because of happiness, everyone is dancing, and this cheerful atmosphere is enough to infect everyone, only the little girl next to the middle-aged person is a little confused.

The child is so immature that he feels so new to everything, and has not yet become accustomed to this colorful world because of familiarity, and has lost that keen insight. Therefore, in the eyes of the public, their subtle perception of psionic energy is even comparable to that of those demigods.

In the girl's perception, she could feel the joy in the hearts of the guests, and this happiness was so full of enthusiasm, bright, dazzling, and colorful, like a summer beach. However, in the deepest part of this ocean of happiness, she vaguely felt a kind of darkness.

Fear, despair, madness, hysteria......

The girl sensed all this, but it made her even more confused.

Why? Why? Everybody is so happy, why are there all these dark emotions? Is all this happiness just an illusion?

"What's wrong, Sha. ”

Beside him, the man took his daughter's hand, bowed his head and said softly.

And holding the man's big hand, the girl felt something more. The man's hand conveyed to her not a sense of security, but a forced composure and fear.

Yes, her father, a middle-aged man who was still inspiring just now, was actually very uneasy in his heart.

"Dad. ”

The girl looked up and said weakly.

The middle-aged man saw the girl's careful thoughts, and just said softly.

"I'm sorry for letting you see. However, Sha ......"

Touching his daughter's cheek with his hand, feeling the immaturity that had not yet grown up, the middle-aged man suddenly laughed.

"Laugh, laugh, don't show such a hesitant expression, Sha, laugh happily. Even if death lies ahead, don't be cowardly, face it bravely, stay decent in the face of death, and it won't look good if you cry. ”

The middle-aged man took his daughter's hand and began to lead her to dance.

At the grand banquet, the atmosphere was peaceful, the atmosphere was cheerful, people were dancing and laughing, and above this happy head, a deep and huge darkness was pressing.

But laugh and laugh, proud people, laugh happily, even if we can't live, let us dance in the face of death.

......

"Fear not, Descendants of the earth, our homeland has come, our flesh and blood will be destroyed, and our souls will be reborn in the Serpent Father......"

And in the chaotic city, under the impact just now, the self-discipline machinery here has lost its command, and a large number of people have broken through the stay-at-home order and are running headless. And among them, there are some strange people who stand on high places, constantly shouting.

The earth beneath his feet was trembling slightly, and at the end of the heavenly dome, a great darkness was approaching.

If one looks from space, one can see a huge and infinite serpent gnawing at the world.

It opened its mouth and devoured greedily, devouring lakes and seas, mountains and valleys, forests and glaciers, whether it was a city or a wilderness, everything above the earth fell into its mouth.

The huge world around the world is under unprecedented impact, this powerful force has caused the entire world to tremble, and many cities have been destroyed in the inadvertent movement of darkness before it can come.

The world of 20 billion humans is in turmoil.

Not far away, in a seaside residence.

An old man in a gray robe silently watched everything in front of him, this crazy world.

At the end of the sea and sky, dark clouds, thunder and lightning rolled, and the occasional flash of white light pierced the dim world, but only illuminated the greater and more terrifying darkness above the heavenly dome.

The darkness moved slowly beyond the sky, its sheer size obscuring the entire sky, and above the entire sky was the faint darkness.

"Prophet, your subspace teleportation channel is ready. ”

The old man was unmoved, but just asked.

"Has everyone else evacuated?"

"Most of the demigods who are still stationed have now been evacuated, and a few are preparing to evacuate. ”

Behind the gray-robed old man, a tall and thin officer said humbly.

After that, there was silence, and the officers who had not been given the next order could only continue to wait.

Psionic warriors are demigods, and the psionic masters who teach these demigods are the prophets closest to gods. In addition to the legendary emperor, these psionic masters are gods in the eyes of the people.

But there is something that neither the Emperor nor the Psionic Master can do.

The gray-robed man crossed his hands and muttered for a long time.

"I'm not leaving. ”

"What?"

The officer was surprised and hurriedly said.

"Isn't it shameless to give up 20 billion billion human beings and watch them die, and I have to run for my life. ”

The gray-robed man muttered to himself.

As he spoke, he looked up at the heavenly vault, where a large, deep darkness was slowly falling.

He knew that the serpent had swallowed the nearby Rim region, and was about to reach it.

"Prophet, you should not blame yourself for this, you have done the best. ”

The officer behind him hurriedly persuaded.

But the gray-robed man glanced at him, and in the deep and dark pupils, the void was circulating, and the incredible spiritual world appeared in front of the officer's eyes, making him involuntarily stop talking.

"No, kid, this is what I deserve. ”

After that, the gray-robed old man waved his hand, and the officer only felt a dizziness in front of him, and when he regained his sight, he and his colleagues around him had already appeared in the center of a bustling interstellar city.

For a demigod, teleporting off a planet couldn't be easier, unless he didn't want to.

And now, the prophet was reluctant.

He just looked at the too deep and dark thing above the heavenly dome and fell silent.

"Believe it, believe in yourself, believe in your courage and wisdom, and fight with all your might, only then will the brilliant light burst out hope to defeat the beast, defeat this fateful duel. ”

Many years ago, that emperor had said this to himself.

But later, the emperor, who said this, was still seriously injured and defeated in the battle with the monsters, fled back to his own time, and died of his injuries, which eventually led to the collapse of the First Empire.

Even though the Emperor said so, the Masters chose to flee, breaking with the Second Republic once and for all, distorting history to create the Third Reich - an empire that worshiped the emperor of the past time and space as emperor.

Husoruan often comforted himself that what could we do with a monster that even the emperor could not defeat?

But he knew that he was just afraid, he was afraid of the monster.

Maybe it was when the emperor died, or maybe it was when he was infected with a snake man and created the first snake worship, and he was afraid of the shadow and fear of monsters.

Ridiculous, even if he was rescued by the Emperor from the edge of serpentinization, he still couldn't forget that fear?

Countless thoughts appeared in my heart, and I was silently scrutinizing myself.

In front of me, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the abnormal weather made the thunderstorm more and more intense.

"Boom !!"

White light filled the heavens and the earth, and a roaring thunder rang out.

The pupils looked at the furious sky, the gloomy sea, and at the end of the sky, a huge body that connected the heavens and the earth loomed.

"I've been scared for half my life, I've been running away for half my life, but now I suddenly don't want to run away. Come on, just show me what you are. ”

His hands clenched the edge of the window, his teeth clenched, his deep dark pupils widened, and he stared angrily into the darkness above the sky.

"Boom !!!"

With a deafening thunderclap, a great darkness collapsed from above the sky.

The great thing, the greedy thing, the thing he had feared all his life, had come after all.

......

And when the sky collapsed, in the city, some people drank the last drop of wine and aimed it at their heads to make it explode into the last fireworks, some people were bowing to the sky, sincerely fearing and chanting, some people were indulging in smashing, and some people silently cleaned up their rooms, walked into the hibernation pod as they normally did every day, and said 'good night' to the world before falling asleep......

There are many kinds of things in the world.

And in this apocalyptic moment......

On the small hill, a teenager looked at the vast darkness above the sky, his hands clenched into a batting gesture with his baseball bat.

And when the darkness collapsed, the boy swung his last blow hard.

"Bang ......"

At the moment when the boy was swallowed up by the darkness, he faintly heard a crisp sound.

He hit the "ball".
