Chapter 143: Great Tranquility VIII

Terra Calendar 1590.12.26.

PM 11:30.

Chaos Sea Border: Blue Sea.

Poseidon Islands.

At night, the Poseidon Islands are bathed in a quiet and mysterious moonlight, and the entire sea is enveloped in a deep and serene blue.

The stars in the sky twinkle softly, and the sea breeze brings with it the taste of the distant ocean and the subtle salt, making the moment extraordinarily fresh and serene.

The 300 mega-lighthouses built by Iberia are particularly spectacular in this peaceful night.

The light from the huge crystal tops of each lighthouse shines in the night, like lights lighting up the entire coastline. The light of these lighthouses creates graceful arcs in the darkness, echoing the stars in the sky, creating a unique skyline picture.

On the archipelago, Atlantis's absurd architecture is even more mysterious in the darkness of night.

The ancient stone buildings and sculptures cast long shadows in the moonlight, adding a calm and ancient beauty, while at the same time contrasting with the giant and technological lighthouses of Iberia.

Iberian ships lined up along a spectacular strategic defensive line of 300 super-giant lighthouses, like a string of pearls embedded in the edge of the deep blue ocean.

In the night sky, the light from the lighthouse danced on the surface of the sea, providing the fleet with one bright navigation light after another.

These ships are lined up like an impregnable wall of steel, firmly guarding the security of Iberian waters.

"Colonel Elsie, do you feel something is wrong?"

Samuel, the deputy commander of the Iberian naval fleet [San Cristobal] and a naval lieutenant, was uneasily pulling out the thaumaturgical handcuff at his waist at the moment, and looked with a wary gaze at the area belonging to the Sea Heir Empire.

"Very wrong...... commander of the [San Cristobal], Elsie, who has the rank of Colonel, is as uneasy as his lieutenant.

"Damn, the military strength guarding the front line of the Chaos Sea was already quite tight, and now because of the sudden declaration of war by the Heavenly Kingdom, most of the fleet has gone to the front line for reinforcements. We are the only one left to garrison the battle group in the Chaos Sea, and the spiritual ships are less than double digits, so if the sea heirs counterattack the inland at this time, it will definitely not be our Iberia that will suffer! The Major said through gritted teeth as he called up the ship's spiritual radar detection module.

"It is certainly not easy to cause the Kingdom of Heaven to directly take action against us, and there must be something hidden from us by the military council and the upper echelons of the Hunting Hall." The colonel's expression at this time was also slightly gloomy.

The moment they received the news that Iberia was at war with the Heavens, their whole hearts were overwhelmed with surprise and panic.

Heaven has always been known for its cautious decision-making, so why did they choose to do it to Iberia at this juncture?

This was completely unexpected by the colonel.

Among the twenty-six kingdoms of the Central Alliance, the Celestial Kingdom has always maintained a delicate balance with Iberia, as a coastal power, responsible for dealing with the invasion of the interior of Terra by the Sea Heir and the Atlantean Empire, and they can be regarded as allies with the Celestial Kingdom to some extent.

Of course, since the [Seventy-Two Hour of Crisis] and the Heavenly Upheaval, the kingdoms of Terra have been on the verge of action.

They are trying to provoke the veil system established by the Kingdom of Heaven.

The anomalous kingdoms represented by the Daevite Empire and the Oretin Empire, as well as the New Age Triumvirate, led by the Eddison Federation, which has announced the semi-normal and semi-abnormal for the first time in history, are trying to tear the curtain completely apart and make no secret of their ambition to dominate Terra.

In the face of challengers, Heaven cannot sit idly by.

They would do such a thing as a chicken and monkey, and every Terra knew in their hearts that there must be some unlucky ones who would become the blood-stained chickens in the hands of Heaven.

It's just that what Colonel Elsie didn't expect was that Iberia would become the chicken in the hands of Heaven to deter the world.

Berlin is a more plausible target for conflict than Iberia.

Berlin, because of its political and military position, has long been considered a more likely point of conflict, but now the situation is quite the opposite.

This sudden declaration of war not only changed the relationship between Iberia and the Celestial Kingdom, but also dropped a shock bomb on the political landscape of the entire Central Alliance.

At this critical juncture, any one wrong decision can lead to even more serious consequences.

"Colonel, the main force of the third chain has completely lost contact with us."

At this moment, Major Samuel finally gave up the struggle after repeating the failure of the main fleet of the third guide chain of the active connection.

“…… I know. ”

Colonel Elsie nodded with some heaviness, and at the same time, he looked at the Poseidon Islands on the other side.

"Now we need to do our job first, the direction of the Poseidon Islands is very wrong, those sea heirs have never been so quiet as they are now, they are too quiet."

"Those sea heirs have never been so quiet, are they planning something big?"

Samuel raised the handcuff in his hand, activated the spiritual self-aim on the handcuff, and began to aim at the opposite shore in the sea.

If something doesn't go wrong, his handcuff will sense it and catch it immediately.

[Hazard Index: 5——]

[Hazard Index: 5——]

[Hazard Index: 7——]

The circular Hazard Index frame hovered over the socket of Samuel's right eye, and he constantly scanned the sea and found that the Hazard Index only showed ordinary values.

The danger value of an ordinary person in the limit state is 5, and the danger value constantly displayed around him is too safe for Samuel.

Beep beep –

Hazard detection is constantly swept around.

Suddenly, Samuel stopped his own detection.

Because, at this moment, the value of the danger index detection frame suspended in his eye socket is constantly soaring.

[Hazard Index: 100...... 500…… 1000……]

[Hazard Index: 1500...... 2500…… 5000……]

"What's going on!?" Looking at the soaring danger index, Samuel couldn't help but be shocked.

"What's wrong?"

Colonel Elsie looked at Samuel nervously, he was quite aware of the ability of Samuel's thaumaturgical handcuff to carry the spear fighting technique, and it was with the danger detection of the other party that they were able to quickly make strategic adjustments in the fight with Haisi.

"There's a situation, something terrible is closing in on us!" Samuel said with a pale face, his framed eyes constantly scanning the dead sea.

"Where is the danger? Where exactly is the danger? Why can't I see!? ”

Samuel muttered in panic, the reason why he was so out of shape was because of his absolute confidence in his gunfighting skills.

[Hazard Index: 10,000...... 15000…… 20000……]

"Samuel, calm down!!" The colonel immediately shouted at Samuel, who was spiritually unstable.

However, his rebuke did not slow Samuel's senses, because at this moment, for Samuel, the danger index of the right eye frame had soared to a value that made his spirit vibrate violently.

[Hazard Index: 21000...... 23000…… 24000!!!! ]

Bang –

When it soared to 24,000, Samuel's spearfighting skills finally burst out, and the circular projection frame on his right eyeframe exploded into pieces, and he fell limply on the deck, letting out a wail of pain.

"Samuel !!" The Colonel hurried up to check on Samuel's injuries.

At this moment, there was an unprecedented pain in his right eye, and Samuel covered his bleeding right eye, tremblingly stretched out his index finger upward, pointed to the heavenly firmament, and said to the colonel in a frightened voice:

"The sky is the !! of the sky"

"Sky?"

Elsie looked up at the sky in confusion.

At night, the stars twinkle.

"How ...... the sky"

Boom –

A dull sound rang out from the sky.

At night in the Poseidon Islands, a striking change takes place in the sky.

Suddenly, the sky dome seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, and a huge gap was opened.

In that gap, a collapsed black hole slowly emerged, hanging over the archipelago, bringing about an extraordinary phenomenon.

The accretion disk around this black hole is rotating at high speed, generating intense friction and heat.

This heat translates into a dazzling light that illuminates the entire night sky, as if lighting a bright light in the darkness. The accretion disk is colorful, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and all kinds of colors are intertwined, like the most brilliant fireworks in the Milky Way.

These strange and beautiful colors mark a huge "cross" in the night sky.

Under the cover of night, all those who witnessed this scene involuntarily looked up at the sky.

Their eyes were filled with wonder, awe, and even fear.

At this moment, whether it is the inhabitants of the island, the sailors who sail away, or even the sea heirs hidden in the shadows, all life is attracted by this shocking celestial phenomenon.

At night, the cracked sky dome and the swirling black hole center seem to be a gateway to another world.

From this mysterious portal, a huge planetary plate slowly emerged, the volume of which was equivalent to one-sixteenth of the central continent.

The appearance of the planetary plates, against the background of the cross formed by the black hole, is especially spectacular and mysterious.

On this floating planetary plate, the petrified [Gatano Toya] seems to be an ancient sculpture, lifelike, full of heavy and shocking sense of history.

His stone statue, down to every tentacle and pupil, reveals its power and terror.

A petrified spiral spear pierced through his body, forever immobilizing the Old One in this posture.

And even though it has been petrified, the petrified tentacles and terrifying pupils of [Gatano Toya] still show signs of constant wriggling, reflecting a vivid and oppressive atmosphere.

At this moment, the planetary plate is suspended above the huge cross formed by the black hole.

Like a sacred altar hanging in the abyss of the universe.

Against the backdrop of this black hole, the space around the tectonic plates seems to be distorted and stretched, and space-time itself seems to produce subtle changes around the tectonic plates. This mysterious phenomenon of space, combined with the statues of stars on the plates of the planet, combine to create a surreal and epic spectacle.

The flowing light and shadows on the plates of the planet, as well as the starlight distorted by the black hole, add an incredible beauty to the sight.

"What the hell is that...... What is it!!?? ”

Elsie stood on the deck and witnessed the earth-shattering scene.

His eyes reflected the huge black holes in the sky and the floating plates of the planet, and his heart seemed to stop beating at this moment.

The cross formed by the black hole and the lifelike petrified statue of [Gatano Toya] seemed so real and surreal to him.

And as she gazed at the statue, Elsie felt a shock and horror that she had never felt before.

His body stiffened, his eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid.

A terrifying sense of horror permeated his body, and he could only remain motionless and look at the statues of stars in the sky.

The worldly one shall not look directly at God.

Boom————————

On that breathtaking night, the planetary plates on the Sky Dome suddenly began its journey of depravity.

This huge rock, carrying the petrified [Gatano Toya], slowly detached from the cross formed by the black hole and began to fall downward, pointing directly at the Poseidon Islands, the lighthouse of Iberia, and the ships guarding the seas.

At first, the fall of the plates was almost silent,

It was as if the entire universe had stopped breathing at this moment.

However, as it approached the ground, the massive debris began to make thrilling trajectories in the air.

The shadows of the planetary plates grew larger in the moonlight, casting them on the surface of the Poseidon Islands, as if a doomsday darkness was about to fall.

On the islands, on ships, and even in distant lighthouses, everyone witnessed this amazing sight.

Soldiers and sailors nervously clenched their weapons and rudders, preparing for the sudden catastrophe.

The watchmen on the lighthouse hurriedly lit each lamp, trying to dispel the darkness that was about to fall with their light.

As the plates continued to fall, a sense of oppression permeated the air, as if the whole world was preparing for this impending shock.

The waves on the surface of the sea began to become turbulent, as if they felt a threat in the sky.

Every life in the archipelago felt unprecedented tension and fear.

In the deep blue waters of Terra, an unprecedented storm is tearing through the sky, its power sweeping across the sea, accompanied by raging waves and endless chaos.

On the surface of the sea, countless sea monsters struggle with the violent forces of nature, as if scenes from ancient legends have been recreated.

The sea heirs, the perfect creatures who have adapted to the strange environment of the depths of the ocean, died like a tidal wave in this storm.

Their corpses drifted with the tide and became witnesses to this marine catastrophe.

At this moment, all those who witnessed this scene felt a deep shock and fear.

Today I opened the Stardew Valley recommended by a friend, and then, the day passed like this......

Is this the charm of farming?

It's horrible, goo!
