Chapter 1077 Doomsday Phase 3
Chapter 1077 Doomsday Phase 3
In this huge conference hall.
The immersive illusion continues.
Those changes in the void are altering, conforming to control, and shifting towards the future.
From the northwest to the northeast, and then to the central and southeast regions... the number of fissures is increasing exponentially.
They did not advance linearly from one point to another, but rather, across the entire shadow-covered frontal area, they spewed out a destructive torrent as if countless "void rifts" had opened simultaneously.
No tactic can block a "point" because the "point" instantly becomes a "surface", a three-dimensional "invasion field".
This is something that absolutely cannot be controlled using containment techniques as we do now.
Because every area covered becomes a point of intrusion, nothing can be stopped.
"Less than a year..."
Kana's voice was like a cold pronouncement, "The entire world will be completely swallowed into the 'belly' of this void."
The perspective shifts again.
The world was completely enveloped and swallowed by that purplish-black void.
Darkness has come completely.
The entire world was completely covered, without any gaps, in every place.
This is the moment when true despair descends!
in all directions!
Sky!
deep sea!
Underground!
Every corner of the world, every inch of space, has become a conduit for the emergence of void creatures.
They no longer merely emerge from cracks at the edges, but rather tear through space directly from within the world—above cities, deep in forests, on the ocean floor, and even inside solid mountains—and swarm forth.
Endless, never-ending!
The entire world has become a beehive pierced from the inside by countless poisonous needles, with destructive venom gushing out from every hole, rapidly polluting and devouring everything.
Dead silence.
An absolute, suffocating silence enveloped the Hall of the Universe.
Even the legendary powerhouses who had previously feigned composure now had extremely grim expressions.
It's very simple. They knew the Void was invading, that the Void would invade, and they had already seen the Void's vanguard. But they really didn't expect the Void invasion to turn out like this.
if it is like this.
That would explain why the arrival of the void is called the end of the world.
Isn't this the end of the world?
Is there anything else that can explain this phenomenon? No.
No wonder almost every world that is touched eventually becomes a desolate, empty planet, leaving no trace of existence, becoming a stone in the starry sky.
The oppressive feeling it creates is clearly there, and it's a suffocating feeling that no one can resist.
There is a kind of despair.
In this situation, how can they resist? How can they possibly resist?
It seems to have lost its effectiveness.
The Emperor of the Empire pursed his lips, the Lion King clenched his massive fist, and the eyes of the four Elven Kings were filled with solemnity.
Many of the representatives of those smaller factions were pale and trembling uncontrollably.
Suppressed, desperate sobs rang out sharply in the silence, coming from several young monarchs or heirs who were clearly placed in high positions by their fathers and had not experienced any real storms themselves.
The scene before them was completely beyond their limited imagination and fragile capacity to bear.
This was an apocalyptic scene that their small country and their meager army could not possibly cope with, and they could not even see any room for struggle.
They haven't even managed to rid their country of its internal conflicts.
The result was that they suddenly looked at the world and saw the end of the world.
Looking at this despair that they had absolutely no idea how to fight back against.
At this point, Sergio played the straight man.
"So, how can we defeat them? How can we achieve victory?"
After this question was raised, everyone looked at Kana, the god, hoping to get a reassuring answer from him.
So that they wouldn't truly fall into despair, but could see a glimmer of hope.
"Defeat the apocalypse?"
Kana's voice broke the devastating silence, carrying a power that pierced through despair.
"No, everyone. In this apocalyptic war, what we need to do is not to hope to 'defeat' this endless torrent of destruction."
He raised his voice slightly, and every word struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer blow.
It took everyone's breath away in an instant.
Is there no hope?
What we need to do is persevere!
"It's survival!"
"To hold onto the last light amidst this overwhelming tidal wave!"
His gaze swept over the weeping, over the despairing, and finally settled on the faces of all those who still retained a shred of will.
"In this war, we will pay an unimaginable price. Blood will soak the earth, civilization will be ravaged, and everything we cherish may turn to ashes... But!"
Kana's tone suddenly became resolute, with an almost divine certainty:
"As long as there is one life left to hold on! As long as there is one piece of land not yet completely swallowed up! As long as the will of the world's core—Aigela—has not been extinguished! We have not failed! The world has not been destroyed!"
"Hold on to the very last moment! Survive this deepest darkness! And we will have survived the end of the world!"
As he spoke, the illusion changed again.
The void aggregate that devoured the world, like a giant beast that had finished "feeding," began to slowly "swim" forward.
The northwest direction, which was initially touched and ravaged most severely, was first exposed from below its purplish-black "belly".
In that area, space remained shattered, the earth scorched, the ocean boiling, and residual void energy permeated the air like poisonous fog... a desolate wasteland riddled with holes, seemingly utterly destroyed.
However, no new void rifts will open.
No more new monsters emerge from it.
The tide of destruction has receded.
The void aggregate continued to "drift," and the world was like prey that it "passed through."
The areas it "passed through," like the northwest, were left devastated, but they were temporarily spared the fate of being continuously devoured.
The areas that have not yet been "passed through" are still enduring all-around, hellish attacks.
Kana is showing it to everyone.
“This process of ‘crossing’,” Carne clearly points out, “will also last about a year.”
He surveyed the entire room and presented the final, and only, target timeline:
"In the first year, destruction spread from the northwest to the southeast! Void rifts opened wildly in the front lines, devouring everything."
This process is called swallowing the package.
"The second year was the darkest hour, all-encompassing and without blind spots! The world was completely enveloped, and every inch of land became a battlefield."
This process is called endless darkness.
"In the third year, the disaster receded from east to west! The Void Aggregate 'passed through' the world, leaving scars, but also taking away the most direct pressure of invasion."
This process is called the aftermath of destruction. Of course, it can also be viewed with a bittersweet twist as the dawn of a new day.
"Three years!" Kana's voice resounded like a great bell, echoing deep within everyone's soul. "As long as we can grit our teeth and persevere through these three years, withstand these three waves of destruction, then the dawn of victory will pierce through the gloom of this apocalypse!"
A clear, phased, and incredibly harsh yet hopeful goal was clearly outlined.
Kana's gaze became incredibly deep, as if it bore the weight of the entire world.
"Today, I have gathered you all here—representatives of all the forces of order in the world of Aegira—for one central purpose only."
His voice was deep and powerful, carrying an unquestionable determination.
"Let's discuss how to gather all our strength, wisdom, and courage to jointly confront this impending, three-year-long apocalyptic catastrophe!"
We must make choices! We must make sacrifices!
Kana's words were firm and left no room for negotiation.
"Resource allocation, defense line contraction, population relocation, and even... the strategic abandonment of certain areas! In order to protect the core flame and for the continuation of civilization, we must foresee and painfully pay some price."
"Any hesitation, any attempt to preserve everything without paying the price, will ultimately lead to our loss of everything!"
"I hope you all understand this point!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kana slowly stood up.
The starlight flowing from the white robe, the flickering starlight in the silver arms, and the pale silver halo behind the head all silently exuded a divine power that made one's soul tremble.
"The next specific discussions and decisions," his gaze swept over Ariris, Lelia, and the members of the Candlelight Council, finally landing on a spot beside him—where the space rippled slightly, and a figure dressed in a silver-blue robe, with a calm demeanor and a faint glow of spatial runes flowing around him quietly appeared—Popot.
"This will be carried out by my Supreme Commander Alyris, Abyss General Lelia, and my subordinate god, Popote, who holds the authority of space, together with the Candlelight Council and all of you."
Kana's figure began to blur, as if merging into the light.
he left.
His very existence is already an excessive burden on ordinary people's contemplation and choices.
If Kana remains here, the wills of these leaders will not be able to truly clash and coalesce freely.
His divine status was a huge pressure, weighing on everyone's backs. Wherever he was, they naturally couldn't speak freely.
All I could do was agree with everything Kana said and say nice things.
They had to do whatever Kana said.
This is not what Kana wants to see, because even if he says it, he will be dissatisfied in his heart, and his actions will be problematic.
It doesn't mean much.
Therefore, in situations like this, it's sufficient to leave such conversations and detailed planning to Aliris and her team.
So many years have passed since Cana relinquished power that the Night's Watch no longer requires him to be actively overseeing anything.
And so, Kana's figure completely transformed into scattered starlight, disappearing from the main seat.
That suffocating divine power, stemming from an absolute crushing of life levels, dissipated as quickly as the tide receded.
call--
Throughout the entire Hall of the Universe, the sound of thousands of people simultaneously letting out long, relieved breaths could be clearly heard.
Of course, these exhalations were more of an internal expression; they dared not actually show that feeling.
It felt as if a boulder that had been pressing on my chest and choking me had finally been removed.
Although the core issues of the meeting were heavy and complex, at least they could finally discuss them in a relatively equal environment where they could think and debate freely.
All eyes naturally turned to the two remaining people in the main seats—Alice and Popper.
Areris, with her silver hair and red eyes, stands tall and straight like a drawn sword, representing the iron will and efficient execution of the Night's Watch High Command.
Her gaze was sharp as an eagle's, sweeping across the entire room with a sense of oppressive scrutiny and control.
Popper, standing next to her, exudes a completely different aura.
His silver-blue robe flowed like water, and the spatial runes surrounding him flickered like breaths.
Her face was serene, and her eyes were deep as if they contained a star map. Although she was a deity, she strangely lacked the absolute pressure that made one's soul tremble like that of Kana.
After all, Poppot is a subordinate god of Kana, not a true being who has ascended to godhood.
Moreover, its shape is that of a small white mouse, which doesn't seem like the kind of imposing presence that Kana has.
Popper is more like a profound sage, an observer who controls the mysteries of space.
A more amiable and easygoing temperament.
It also fits Popper's unconventional personality.
This aura allowed the attendees, who had just been freed from divine power, to relax their tense nerves a little.
Popper nodded slightly, and the space around her rippled almost imperceptibly.
She didn't speak, but simply gestured for the initiative to be handed over to Alyris.
This restraint and cooperation further eased the atmosphere at the meeting.
After all, Popper's presence here is also a way of supporting the Night's Watch in maintaining their dominance.
Fortunately, she was able to bring the atmosphere of the entire meeting to a state of balance.
It wasn't as exaggerated as when Kana was there, nor as relaxed as when Kana wasn't there.
Areris stepped forward, her crimson eyes sweeping across the room. Her voice was clear and powerful, carrying the Night's Watch's characteristic simplicity and directness.
"Gentlemen, time is of the essence. His Majesty Kana has already outlined the objectives and timeframes."
"Now, let's begin with the first topic: the integration of global defense forces and the division of the three-year strategic phases."
"Representatives of all factions possessing standing armies and legendary combat capabilities, please prepare to submit your force lists and initial deployment plans."
"Of course, this is not a simple process, but we will provide assistance. The data platform is ready, and information will be collected and synchronized quickly."
As she spoke, the star-patterned alloy desktop in the center of the main table lit up, and a huge holographic data interface appeared out of thin air, with complex charts and information streams beginning to scroll.
The Lion King spoke first.
"So what do we have to give up? And to what extent is it enough?"
"As just shown, all the enemies will come from every corner. How can we possibly have an area where we can fight?"
Faced with such a surging enemy, they must organize a clear defensive line and fight back with order and unity.
This is the only way.
But the ever-present enemy won't give them such an opportunity, because they don't have a safe place to gather.
Not to mention logistics and such.
This is the most basic and fundamental condition.
Since Cana and the Night's Watch convened such a gathering, it means they must have a clearly defined safe area.
“I know your doubts, and that is what we Night’s Watch are doing now, our leader, our prophet, His Majesty Karna, bringing his kingdom to earth.”
"And the area covered by his divine kingdom will be completely under his control, and will be able to resist the opening of the void rift. This will be our only safe zone after a full-scale invasion."
This relieved everyone, but then came something even more troublesome.
Because in the later stages, they will definitely abandon their country and their land.
This is not something a normal person could do.
This goes against the nature of life and violates the rationality of these leaders.
And now they need to discuss these things. (End of Chapter)
