Chapter 31: The Water World
"Every living creature of the earth, men, and livestock, and creeping things, and the birds of the air, have been destroyed from the earth......
- The Bible-Old Testament
"Boom !!"
The roaring thunder was incessant, deafening, accompanied by the sound of the pouring rain, like an impassioned symphony.
The violently shaking hull of the ship, accompanied by the panicked and uneasy cries of many animals, stumbled forward, and he barely held on to a wooden pillar to keep himself from falling, and then suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly.
"Father!"
In front of him, Noah had his back to him, his hands on the window, and his silent eyes were always looking at the rainy world outside the hull, and no matter how much the hull swayed, he could not get away from this small window.
Looking at his father's back, Flash suddenly found that his father seemed to be much older, obviously his appearance was still the same, but it seemed that something had changed......
"Flash ......"
Suddenly, Noah's voice rang out, flashed for a moment, and then answered.
"Yes. ”
In front of Shem, Noah did not speak, but silently raised his hand and pointed to the world outside the window......
At a glance, there is an ocean of water world everywhere in the field of vision, except for water, or water, I can't see any other color, and as far as the eye can see, there is only an ocean world in front of me in the midst of lightning and thunder, and the pouring rain, and nothing else.
"Look...... The dragons are gone. ”
Noah's deep voice reached Shem's ears, and there was a deep confusion in his voice.
......
What was the biggest flood you can imagine?
Unstoppable, encroaching on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, or drowning all the mountains? Yet Noah saw a flood far greater than he could have imagined.
On the first day, the flood poured down from the sky and flooded all the farmland and towns. At that time, Noah looked out of the window and could only see the debris of trees, and even the remains of people and animals floating on the surface of the water.
Looking out of the window, there was water everywhere, and only in the distance could you faintly see the existence of high mountains, which could not be swallowed up even by this great flood.
On the second day, Noah saw a number of strangely shaped flying monsters gathered outside the window......
Vampires with bat wings, griffons resembling a combination of a lion and vulture, and small, winged elves, illusory giants made of clouds...... Numerous strange species and spirits flew outside the hull of the ship, flooding the water around the ship.
Water can drown flightless humans, but it can't drown flying monsters for a while.
When these monsters found the big ship on the water, they were ecstatic and tried desperately to rest on the big ship, but they couldn't get close to the big ship, as if there was an invisible barrier protecting the big ship.
Those monsters who were allies for thousands of years, or enemies of life and death, are now like crazy, frantically trying to enter this big ship.
At this moment, no matter what race they are or what kind of spells they have, they have no effect.
These powerful monsters of the past are either begging for money, or trying to tempt them with money, or at the cost of volunteering to become slaves, or even changing the image of handsome men and beautiful women in an attempt to charm Noah's family...... However, none of this worked.
Noah had seen a banshee of incredible beauty pleading with him to be a slave for eternity in exchange for the opportunity to enter the ship.
She was so good at arguing, intelligent, wise, calm, and learned, far beyond Noah's imagination, and even vaguely able to see that she had a certain demeanor and majesty called a queen, that Noah was shaken and wondered if it was possible to let this spirit who had never hurt anyone enter the ship.
However......
The fairy queen, whose life story is unknown, full of wisdom and learning, graceful and beautiful, finally fell into the unfathomable sea due to exhaustion.
Every moment, countless creatures around the ship fall into the sea because of their lack of strength, no matter how powerful and powerful they may have been in life, but they are still so small in the never-ending storms and showers.
Every moment, along with the great ship, there are countless fights taking place around the ship, either because they are hungry and trying to get food, or because they feel that a great calamity is coming, they simply kill wantonly, and these various creatures are constantly pouring in from all directions, and they are constantly falling into the sea.
Time passed, and the monsters that could still stay around the ship became fewer and fewer, and eventually, the arrival of a powerful species forced these few monsters to flee......
On the twelfth day, the dragon appeared.
The vast wings of the dragon covered the sky and the sun, and the roaring roar of the dragon shook the sky, and the dragon's strength made all living beings tremble.
The dragons, which were more than tens of meters long and as huge as a small mountain, waved their broad dragon wings, and the flapping dragon wings formed a storm in the air, spitting hot dragon breath from their mouths, and wiped out the monsters that were still alive in an instant.
An indescribable shocking spectacle, countless dragons soaring through the sky, making a dragon roar that shook the heavens and the earth, and when the low and shocking dragon roar came together, it was as if it were an epic song sung by a group of dragons.
Their massive figures obscured the sky and cast a shadow on the sun, as never before since the dawn of the world, as if the dragons of the entire world had appeared here.
It was powerful enough to turn any kingdom on earth into a sea of fire in an instant, and it could also make the angelic legions in heaven fearful, and they had no rival except God and demons.
This time, however, they are greeted with a judgment from God......
When the dragon king, who appeared with the thunder, appeared in front of Noah with a huge wingspan, the majestic and sacred posture almost made Noah think that he had seen a god. Awe and fear of the massive creature filled Noah's mind.
However, even the dragon king, who was the king of the dragons, could only humbly try to plead with Noah, in this age when the whole world was swallowed by water, even the dragon could not never fall to the ground, the dragon would be tired, and the dragon would need to rest.
However, Noah could not satisfy the dragon king's plea, and no one could open the barrier on the ship, and no life could enter, only God could decide who was eligible to enter the ship.
In order to wait for the forty days after the waters receded from Noah's mouth, the adult dragon flew with the young dragon on his back, and when he was exhausted, the other dragons carried the young dragon, and the first to fall into the sea was the mighty and infinite dragon king.
Every day, in the midst of storms and lightning and thunder, exhausted dragons fall into the sea.
The mighty dragons died, leaving only the young dragons, and the young dragons dying one by one, leaving only the young dragons.
Have you ever heard a dragon crying?
Noah heard it.
It was a poignant and mournful voice, that kind of unwilling mournful voice, which always hovered in Noah's mind and could not be forgotten for a long time.
On the twenty-seventh day, the dragon disappeared into the air, but the water continued to rise......
......
On the thirty-fourth day, Noah finally understood how high the water had been, because he saw the clouds outside his window......
There were dark clouds that were almost close at hand, and the thunder and lightning in the clouds seemed to be palpable.
The waters have risen to heaven.
No creature can fly so high, and naturally no creature can survive in this great water.
Since then, Noah has never seen any more creatures, no more things, not dragons or birds, or whatever, nothing has been seen, all life has died, and with it all there is nothing but the boundless ocean outside the great ship.
In my ears, I could hear angels singing the praises of God in the clouds.
"O God, may the nations praise you, and may all the nations praise you. Let all the nations rejoice and rejoice, for thou shalt judge all nations according to justice, and guide all the nations of the earth......"
