Chapter 631: 631
A blank history, a lost civilization
The surface of the sea shook abnormally. The tides rolled and the sea seemed to boil.
A loud roar stirred up the waves and spread from the deep sea to the entire Broken Islands.
This was a demonstration, a threat, a display of power by the cold God of the Star Palace, a sound of slaughter by the ferocious deep-sea beast, a peerless beast sealed for countless years, telling every intelligent creature at the table that extinction was coming, and they had to wait in despair.
Kant closed his eyes and sighed silently.
” What’s wrong?” Delila turned around and asked.
“The deep-sea bombing plan has failed,”said the Fire Stealer calmly.
Using the coordinates provided by the Arcane Magic Council as a reference, they would sink a large number of depth bombs and self-destructing trucks to the target location and set up time fuses to ensure that the violent explosion and powerful impact could cover the entire bombing area as much as possible. This was the safest plan when the underwater situation could not be confirmed.
Just as Kant had said earlier…They had to stick together.
Now, the operation of blowing up the fish, which had been left to fate, had almost failed. The large number of bombs that had been poured down a while ago had not achieved the desired results. A huge amount of explosives with a yield of nearly a thousand tons had exploded in sections up and down the sea. Kant had hoped to take the deep-sea monster away in one wave, but now it seemed that his overly optimistic plan had failed because everything was out of control.
Without diving equipment, he could observe the situation in the sea with his own eyes. He could only rely on the Council’s hesitant information and coordinates to launch an attack on an unknown enemy. Kant did not even know what the enemy was, what it looked like, or how big it was.
He did not even know if the explosion had killed the enemy, injured the enemy, or not at all…He didn’t know anything.
But now, he knew. The anger from the deep sea had been transmitted to him. The unknown enemy told Kant that it was still alive and that it was coming.
” Kant, I don’t want you to think that I’m instigating you or that I have ulterior motives,” she said slowly after a moment of hesitation. The elf’s beautiful face shimmered in the morning sun, making the shattered sky and sea pale. Have you ever doubted it?”
“What?”
“The coordinates given to you by the council…Is it correct?”
Kant’s face was as dark as water.” If it’s fake,” he asked,” what’s their motive for lying to me?” Their main fleet is trapped in the battle zone, their submarines have witnessed the terror of the enemy, and the messages they sent are also shocked and anxious. I think they should no longer doubt my warning and the purpose of the enemy. That thing wants to interrupt global sea trade and cut off the blood vessels of civilization.”
” Under such circumstances, what is the motive for providing me with false information? At least for now, I’m the most powerful person in this sea. They should believe in the power of the Forbidden Spell.”
“It’s just a suspicion,” the Empress said softly. There are probably two reasons why I hid it from you.”
” The first is to lie to vent their anger. After all, you rejected their request, which was a great humiliation and hostility to them. So when you asked for the coordinates, they gave you a fake one. But the possibility is very low. The decision-making organ of the council is the Starry Sky Council. Based on my understanding of the Great Speaker, he probably won’t accept such a low-level proposal.”
” That leaves us with the second option,” Kant said in a deep voice.
“.. Yes.” ” There must be a reason for this abnormality,” replied Delia.” The council should have told you the location of the incident, but they didn’t. There’s only one possibility.”
” They found something else there,” the Fire Stealer continued.” They didn’t want to tell me, didn’t want me to know about it, didn’t want me to find out what was there.”
” It’s just a guess,” the Empress replied calmly.
” I’ll find out the truth,” Kant said coldly.
“But before that, we have to settle the matter here.”
Darila looked up at the sky. An An-22 transport plane roared and rushed into the sky. The Phoenix King’s powerful vision could see a small child looking down from the narrow passenger cabin window with his mouth wide open, revealing a surprised and happy smile. The young child did not know where he had just left.
She sighed softly and then said seriously,” It’s about to wake up. The Eye of the Phoenix can’t see through the cold deep sea and see the horror in the endless darkness, but I can still sense the shadow that frightens me swimming and struggling. It’s a terrifying monster that we’ve never seen before, and it has never appeared in history. Due to the cumbersome efficiency of the Silver Moon Council, the Twilight Moon Dynasty can’t provide you with more help in the short term.”
” So, Kant, do you have any plans?”
Airplanes were taking off in an emergency, and the situation had turned from order to chaos. After all, they had made mistakes in their haste. However, they could not care less now. The islands were speeding up their evacuation and closing their defense lines. The sea monsters that rushed ashore were even more ferocious and crazy. Flames flickered everywhere and smoke rose.
Kant looked at the scene from above and replied,” The enemy from outer space who calls himself the God of the Star Palace is arrogant, extreme, conceited, and conceited. He treats all living beings in the mortal world like ants. I forced him to flee in a sorry state. He even fused with the deep-sea beast. I must wash away such a great humiliation.”
“Therefore, I guess that after it completely awakens and escapes, it will head straight for the Broken Islands because I will be here. I will be here waiting for it…”
During the dozen hours of evacuation, all the islands had set up fire stations of various sizes to deal with the sea monsters that had swarmed in from all over the place. According to Kant’s plan, after all the people on the islands had evacuated, the fire stations would continue to unleash their power under the control of the fire control program left behind by Horus. When the enemy showed up, what awaited it would be a storm of attacks.
” Then, I will initiate mass projection.” Kant said,” This place will become its graveyard.”
Controlling the laws of space in the world of white fog to repeatedly accelerate a massive projectile to an extremely high speed and then bombard the target’s face-this was Kant’s ultimate technique, and it could also be considered a strategic strike force. As long as one was bold enough and ruthless enough, he would be a mobile nuclear arsenal walking in the human world.
That stone had wiped out the entire dinosaur race and started the mass extinction of the cretaceous period. It would not be a problem for Kant to kill a large seafood creature with a stone.
Delia nodded slowly.
Just as she was about to say something, a loud commotion occurred again.
The surface of the sea surged, and water pillars rose into the sky one after another. The entire surface of the sea was like water in a cup, rippling because of the vibration at the bottom. However, on the surface of the sea that was tens of thousands of square kilometers, such ripples were like surging waves. The flying waves rushed into the sky. When the sun rose in the sea, dark clouds gathered faintly.
” What a powerful force,” said Delia, her eyes flashing with phoenix fire.
” Horus!” Kant pressed his earpiece.” Horus!”
” Father, the mages stationed at the observation station claim that they have sensed a terrifying Elemental Tide phenomenon that is about to erupt. I hope you are ready.”
Kant looked at her.” That’s enough chit-chat and analysis. It’s time to get to work.”
“What can I do to help?” asked the Phoenix King.
The Realm Gate flickered, and Kant vanished into it. Using Phoenix Vision. We’re in a very passive position right now. We don’t know when the enemy will arrive or what it will look like. We’re racing against time now. When the enemy attacks, we have to find out as soon as possible and make a response.”
“No problem.”
The Realm Gate opened. Kant returned to the command center on the large platform. He picked up his communicator.” Attention all units. This is Kant. The rescue operation is in its final stages.”
” Thank you to all the brave people who have worked hard for strangers who have never met before. Your choices, sacrifices, and bravery will be remembered by history, the world, and the gods. All of this is meaningful, and now, I will fulfill one of my promises.”
“I’m taking you back to Distant Harbor,”he said after a pause.
Kant’s order rang through the entire communication channel.
” All islands begin the final evacuation procedures.”
At the same time, Horus distributed the evacuation plan that had been formulated to the entire command system from top to bottom. Every island, every combat unit, and even every squad received the evacuation plan and mission in an orderly manner.
” Ground combat troops retreat!”
The highest commander of Fenster Island was a Warrior of Destruction. Kant intended to strengthen the leadership of the Battle of Destruction. The fifty soldiers of the first batch of the Warrior of Destruction would become the most solid backbone of the army.
“All soldiers!” the Warrior of Destruction shouted. Discard armor, weapons, and other unnecessary heavy objects! This was an order! The transport plane has limited capacity!”
On the smaller islands, the refugees had all been evacuated. The soldiers stationed there began to board the transport planes. The Pegasus Knights and Horned Eagle Knights who were patrolling in the air turned around and landed on the ground. The knights hurriedly took off their armor and saddles, comforting and guiding their mounts onto the transport planes.
The obedience, courage, and organization of the soldiers far surpassed that of the refugees. Hence, the speed and efficiency of boarding the plane were also far superior. Kant’s figure shuttled through the various temporary airfields as planes leaped out of the Realm Gate one after another. Time was tight, and Kant’s figure flashed and disappeared in a flash. What he did not know was that there would always be soldiers saluting in the direction where the Realm Gate disappeared.
It was said that a battle was better than three drills and ten training sessions. Real combat would temper the recruits into veterans, and real blood and fire would sharpen the will of the unpolished jade. In this war where saving was more important than fighting, protecting was more important than destroying, every soldier who participated in it was fully tempered and changed.
They had participated in a war that they had never experienced in their professional lives. They fought under the command of advanced battlefield communications, supported by advanced war weapons, and more importantly, they fought under the guidance of ideas and beliefs that they had never heard of or even imagined.
It was not to kill the enemy, nor was it to defeat the enemy. Instead, it was to snatch back innocent and weak living beings from the cruel danger…They had never experienced this war.
Before the operation, many soldiers did not understand the meaning of this trip. But after more than ten hours of fighting and rescue, looking at the unfamiliar faces crying with joy, looking at the refugees crying in disbelief, they gradually understood the meaning of this battle.
Regardless of whether they were from the Empire or the Arcane Magic Council, whether they were elves or humans, whether they were soldiers who surrendered from the Broken Isles, or warriors of Goethe who had followed Kant here, this unforgettable day would be imprinted on their souls and they would remember it forever.
He remembered that day, that night, he and his comrades from all over the world, with different languages and races, under the command of the same flag and the same leader, performed a feat that was praised by the gods.
One after another, planes rose into the sky.
” The evacuation of Fenster Island is complete. The Warriors of Destruction are on standby.”
” Mudeng Island has been evacuated. The Warriors of Destruction are on standby.”
” There are still more than 2,000 civilians waiting to be evacuated from Argent Island. Quickly board the plane.”
“New Raton Island…”
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, but the mages on the ground dispersed the clouds and kept the weather stable. Although the transport aircraft soared in the sky and stayed away from the threat of the sea, it was not omnipotent. Too bad weather would cause serious interference to flight safety. This was the primary task of the mage troops…
The sea surface churned, the waves surged, and the sea water boiled.
Several large islands with large populations had already built two or even three runways. Military transport planes were lined up. Under the command of the soldiers, the crowd swarmed forward like ants. Seats and even seatbelts were not a factor to consider. In short, they had to stuff the people in and leave this damn place first!
Even if he was injured from the bumpy ride, it was better than dying here!
People squeezed into the plane with all their might, shouting and crying. Only a small part of the fear came from the crowd, and the majority of the fear came from instinct. Even the slowest and stupidest people felt the oppression and uneasiness in their hearts. They felt that something big was about to happen. They cried and cried to leave this place, to leave this place quickly.
“Silence!”
The mages cast large-scale calming spells, but with the strong spiritual senses of the spellcasters, they could feel the extreme threat of the awakening in the deep sea.
The sea breeze blew, and the waves danced. The sky was filled with wisps of water vapor, and a storm began to spread.
” Kant!” On the central island, the expression on Darila’s face changed drastically as she used her Phoenix Eyes to monitor the entire sea. She clumsily picked up the communicator Kant had given her and shouted,” Kant!”
In the All-Seeing Tower of Turashaye, an uninvited guest once again barged into the Starry Council.
“The comparison has been completed!”
” Yes!” The head of the Wisdom Library rushed into the court with a thick book in his arms. He looked excited and his voice trembled.” Confirm the source of the text that contacted us through the resonance device of the Great Ocean Traveler-the Blue Ilan Sea Stele!” Scholars speculated that it was the final record of the ancient civilization! A blank history!”
He raised the book in his hand high and announced loudly to the stunned councilors,” The legendary ancient kingdom that lived in the sea and built a prosperous civilization with crystals, pumice, and glue. It once touched the sky but eventually disappeared at the end of the sea! Everyone! We have encountered history!”
The pure scholar could not hide his excitement. He was so happy that he almost fainted. There was nothing more delightful than talking to the survivors of the ancient super-civilization. But then, he noticed that the Speaker and the members of parliament were uneasy and lost in thought.
“How… What’s wrong?”
” The remains of civilization, the ruins of that city,” the speaker said with a grim face.” Then…” What was that thing? Why was he there? It…”
” What’s wrong?” Kant heard her call in the Broken Islands. He opened a Space Gate and returned to her side.
The Phoenix King stared at the sea in the southeast direction. Phoenix fire danced, and his expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
“He’s here!”
In the next moment, white waves rose from the turbulent sea. With a loud sound, an incomparably huge creature broke through the waves like a plant that broke through the soil. In an instant, it reached nearly a hundred meters in the sky.
The air buzzed as it swayed. The surface of the object that rose out of the sea was as rough as dead wood, but the patterns on it were faintly flickering with dazzling golden light. It danced in the air and shook off endless waves, revealing its true appearance to the entire world!
Even the Phoenix King could not help but be extremely shocked. She cried out in shock,”This is just…” A tentacle?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a tentacle that was more than a hundred meters long slammed down on the surface of the sea!

4,500…He had been watching all kinds of monster movies today as a reference. Including what he owed yesterday, he owed a total of 3,000 words. He would probably be able to make up for it today and tomorrow. After all, he was about to reach the climax, so he would try his best to write.
