Fortunately, the chaos, hatred, and death caused by the complete severance of the Happy Island network did not last long, and even did not spread across the island.

Because the deeper, more desperate fear has come suddenly, unexpectedly—

The night has come.

The ominous and profound darkness in the sky was different from the usual night. It's like the difference between a power-off and a display on a black screen.

There are no scattered stars, no sky that always looks gloomy and gray, no sun that does not dazzle when you look at it, and no gray moon at night.

“… What happened? ”

In Tian'en Park, Xia walked quickly to the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The walls of the park are still full of red forks. They are still locked in their offices, and doors cannot be opened without handles.

Kasumi looked up at the sky, her pupils constricting suddenly.

"The sky is falling..."

Ah Zhan, who was standing behind her, muttered in a low voice.

"The joyful woman is holy and beautiful, and the earth shines brightly.

"Our hearts are filled with enthusiasm and we have come to your temple—"

The fallen angels with crimson halos on their heads suddenly and neatly lowered their weapons.

They sang hymns in unison and cheered for the arrival of the eternal night.

"Your power can make people overcome all differences.

"Under your radiance, people are united as brothers!"

- It was an eternal cycle of chants on Sogo Island.

The crimson glow burst out more and more fiercely under the night sky.

A biting cold wind fell from the sky and fell abruptly in the dark city at noon.

And in the streets and alleys, among the *** crowds who gathered to storm various facilities, there were also people who suddenly stood up when everyone was confused and frightened, raised their hands, and sang loudly full of emotion.

"O peoples, do you fall to your knees?

"O man, is it a premonition of the Creator?

"He must dwell in the starry sky,

"-Go to the Starry Sky Upper Realm and find him!"

It is a verse that does not exist in the eternal cycle of chants.

Neither "creator" nor "starry sky" is a common word.

But it's so fitting when it's embedded in the chant...

It's as if that's how it should be.

"On the mountain of faith where the sun shines, you can see her flag fluttering,

"Even through the cracked coffin, I saw her standing in the angels."

The leader of the reinventing mechanism waved his gun enthusiastically like an angel waving his baton.

And in the crowd, there were many people who pandered to him, fanatically singing lyrics that did not belong to this era.

In the deep darkness of the eternal night, there are simultaneous singing voices everywhere in the streets and in the crowd. It was a song that people had never heard before, the second half of the chant that looped repeatedly:

"Bear with it, thousands of people!

"Endure for a better world!

"—In the starry world above, the Great Lord will reward us!"

The delphinium held her stomach and gently reached out to straighten her sideburns, which were wet with sweat from the battle, and frowned with some worry.

She faintly heard singing, coming from the depths of the forest not far away.

And the bad day is gloomy and silent.

I saw that in the pure black eternal night, the crimson angels flew from afar like dying comets. The singing became clearer as they approached:

"Brethren—God is judging in that starry sky, as in the world." Joy bubbles inside the glass;

"Drinking the golden wine, the desperate become brave heroes,

"—the cannibal has also become gentle!"

"—is this your true hymn?"

Wolf Yan raised his head and looked at Ignorance and Horn with an unkind expression.

But the two angels also showed confused expressions. Apparently they never knew such a secret either.

“… I see. ”

Ignorance sneered at himself: "While we are still struggling with whether to draw a line with the Church and the Pope... They have long since abandoned us completely. No wonder they will make our colleagues into holy sources"

"The hymn says, 'Drink the golden wine..."

Ale muttered, "Sure enough, are they angels mass-produced through the 'Holy Origin?'" But looking at their state, they don't look like mechanical angels who will switch personalities after wearing a halo..."

"It should be a permanent transformation."

The horn said coldly: "It seems that the technology of the church has indeed improved. ”

“…… Wait, Starry Upper Realm? ”

And Bad Day noticed another word that shouldn't have appeared: "Is promotion to open the gray dome?"

"But, now..."

It's not so much about opening the gray dome as it is about sealing it forever.

"The Grey Dome is not only an enclosed mechanism, but also a solar energy harvesting device. It only lets in the necessary sunlight, and the temperature in the universe is very, very low. ”

Among them, Lothar, the only one who was well-educated and knew the truth of the world, was the most ugly. Because only she, as a name raider, can truly realize what the damage to the Grey Dome means:

"Although the atmosphere does not lose heat due to the heat insulation of the gray dome, it does not come into direct contact with the outside space and thus loses heat, but if it continues to do so, I am afraid... Within a month, the surface temperature drops to freezing.

"Then the sea will freeze over and the plants will die on a large scale. Factories in the lower city that rely on solar energy combined with plants and marine resources will be completely inoperable.

"Within half a year, the temperature will drop to minus 70 degrees. Carbon dioxide condenses into dry ice, humans cannot go directly outdoors, and animals and plants other than humans will become extinct within half a year.

"In three to five years, the temperature will drop to -100 degrees. If we do nothing, I'm afraid that in 10 or 20 years, when the surface temperature drops to almost minus 150 degrees, the gray dome will be broken by high temperature on one side and low temperature on the other. The Earth will have a chance to re-emerge, but by then, the oxygen will have frozen into blue ice. To put it simply, all of us are going to die.

"The only good news, presumably, is that white nitrogen ice will cover the entire planet. We're going to die a good look. It's like a beautiful puck with a transparent dark blue gem inside. ”

"That is, we only have five years at most."

Delphinium finally understood what the church wanted to do: "If we can't break the gray dome in these five years, we have to follow the church's advocacy of 'Cyber Ascension, back up our minds to the data world, and completely destroy the real world!'" ”

It's like setting your house on fire just to expel cockroaches and rats from your house.

And for the "promoted" Pope, it will be limited to those "old humans" who are born, old, sick and dead, grievances and hatreds, that is, the rats in his house!

"Not five years. ”

Lothar replied, "Definitely not five years.

"When solar energy is cut off, both wind and tidal energy quickly become unusable. After the ability to synthesize food disappears, because there is a shortage of food at most and the most, there will be a large-scale famine after half a year.

"Since then, humanity has never been able to unite again.

"In other words, we only have five months at most - if we can't get to the gray dome in five months, I'm afraid we won't be able to open it again."

"—what about the dragons?"

Wolf Yan suddenly spoke: "Do they have the ability to open the gray dome?" ”

"I thought, probably... Yes, maybe there is. "Lothar isn't very sure.

"Then send me to Them."

He whispered, "I'll convince them." ”
