Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 633: 633
 

Sacrifice and Contribution, Mountains on the Sea

“Ahhhh!”

Screams sounded from Zhenhai Airport at the top of the central island.

The last batch of escapees was boarding the plane.

“Quick, quick, quick!”

The island was where the Astolford had washed up. It was also where Kant had set up his temporary headquarters. The first field airport was built here, and the first plane took off.

In the early stages of the evacuation operation, the refugees from various islands were transported here by air forces such as hot air balloons and then left by transport planes. As time passed, the airport around the archipelago was built one after another, greatly reducing the transportation pressure. The number of refugees stranded at Zhenhai Airport continued to decrease.

Now, they were the last batch of survivors waiting to be evacuated.

The last batch of soldiers who stayed behind also left.

They were the last crew members of the Evergreen Song and the other coalition fleet ships that had fallen in the broken sea. Quillion, Halsey, Han Guangcheng, Mesizhu, and the other generals led their most fearless and loyal subordinates to hold on until the end. They had received the order to follow the An-124 transport plane out of the broken islands and return to the distant port.

At this moment, the soldiers were chasing the noisy crowd like herding ducks, guiding them through the open rear cabin door and into the belly of this huge thing.

There was no need to urge or curse them. Everybody was running for their lives, because several miles away, the enormous tentacles that were like the pillars of the Pantheon temple were swinging in the air and raising huge waves!

The sea was foggy and the wind blew the water vapor. The weather was like a storm. The sky became gloomy and the sea breeze roared. The waves crashed against the cliffs. The beautiful scenery of the Broken Islands had disappeared. In its place were the pillars of heaven that rose up from the sea. The huge tentacles stirred the wind and clouds, letting out terrifying screams. The sea water surged uneasily. Everyone knew that a big guy was coming up!

“This is no longer a battle we can participate in.”

Quillion held his spear and looked at the rising and falling tide with a solemn expression.

Two lines of fire shuttled through the raging sea amidst the undulating waves. There were flaming meteors that continuously bombarded the swaying tentacles, exploding into dazzling flames. Immediately after, a phoenix’s cry flashed, and another line of fire slashed down.

Sometimes it was a single strike, sometimes it was a few strikes. The sky pillars were broken, and the water surged. The Phoenix King and the Skyquaking Dragon joined forces to block this terrifying monster that had never been heard of before. The dragon and phoenix met the sea beast and blocked its turbulent momentum. This battle of Yang Yan gave hope to the survivors.

Hope…

Quillion reached out and quietly grasped a hard object hanging on his chest. It was not his own accessory, but something he had obtained from Lord Horus before the final evacuation.

It was a purple crystal that emitted a dreamy luster and refracted intoxicating light. It was wrapped in a transparent glass-like shell, and Lord Horus ‘cold instructions resounded in his ears.

” In times of crisis, listen to orders. Crush the shell and swallow the crystal.”

” Although the consequences are unpredictable and will add infinite variables and restrictions to your future, this is the only chance for you to survive. Father hopes that you will live.”

Quillion recalled Lord Horus ‘words and fell into deep thought.

He had a vague feeling that this was Prince Kant’s greatest secret.

The consequences were unpredictable, and there would be endless variables and restrictions in the future…” In other words, swallowing this purple crystal will give us a more convenient and faster escape mechanism, allowing us to survive a life and death crisis.

However, this escape mechanism is related to His Highness Kant’s huge secret. He needs us to keep it a secret. He probably won’t silence us. Otherwise, why would he send this thing? So… Swear allegiance?

A glimmer of light flashed in Quillion’s eyes.

He immediately looked in one direction.

On the other side, the tall Ironskins, who were wearing heavy armor and had strange red lights shooting out of their helmets and goggles, were watching the crowd vigilantly.

During this period of time, whenever Quillion had the time, he would observe the Warriors of Destruction from all angles. He wished he could lay on them and study them inch by inch. Now, the elf commander noticed something.

The positioning and movements of these guys…There was a problem!

As a powerful elven warrior with a keen sense of perception, he had instinctively discovered something of vital importance. Now that the order for a full evacuation had been issued, the huge sea monster had appeared in the broken sea. Even the experienced elven navy felt fear and terror, wanting to board the plane and leave this dangerous sea as soon as possible, and these soldiers in the name of destruction…He didn’t seem to be in a hurry.

Their tone was still calm, and their posture looked very calm. From the most subtle body language, they did not seem to have any intention of approaching the transport plane.

In other words…They had other ways to leave!

With that thought in mind, Quillion looked at the purple crystal in his hand. He understood everything.

This thing should be the key.

The commander’s expression changed when he realized that. He wished he could swallow it right now, but he knew that it would be foolish to do such a thing now. He would not be able to wear the power armor that he could not forget. He would also be easily attacked by His Highness Kant and Her Majesty the Queen.

One hit him because he was asking for it, and the other hit him because he was disloyal.

Quillion sighed softly and looked at the two lines of fire flying in the middle of the Raging Tide. It was great, it was great, he thought-let’s get them together.

“Captain!”

” Master!” A voice called out to him. He looked up and saw the chief officer waving at him.” Please come up!”

He took one last look at the boiling tide in the sea and quickly ran to the tail of the transport plane.

“Aaah, we’re going to die! We are going to die! Hurry up and leave this place! Hurry up!”

” Ah!” A sharp cry exploded. Quillion frowned and looked over. It was a human dressed in luxurious clothes. He was screaming as if he was having a fit.” It will eat all of us!” You all heard it!”

“What happened?” The commander whispered to the first mate.

The chief officer pulled him towards the plane. As he ran, he shouted,” A small noble from the human dukedom in the eastern part of the continent. I heard that he tried to cut the queue on Luoshan Island because of his identity. His Highness called him out and threw him to the back of the queue. Such self-righteous humans are everywhere!”

Humans had nobles, and so did elves, but nobles also had chains of contempt.

The nobles of the eastern Mountain Dukedom of the humans were undoubtedly the lower reaches of the chain of contempt. It would be better to say that the elves despised the vast majority of the so-called human nobles.

After all, the so-called human nobles were not worthy of the elves ‘attention. Even ordinary elves could scoff at human nobles. What? Your family is an ancient family with hundreds of years of history? Damn it, I’m 491 years old this year, and you’re telling me this.

” Leave!” The two elves rushed to the rear cabin. Viscount Ron was still shouting, looking a little crazy.” Leave this place quickly!” I want to go home! I want to go home! Send me straight home! I don’t want to go to a distant port!

You all heard what that monster said! It knew where Far Harbor was! It will come and kill us…”

“Lucas!”Quillion shouted angrily.

His arcane follower was waiting for orders not far away. Hearing this, he immediately understood the commander’s intention and raised his short staff. The Silence Spell was cast in response. Viscount Ron looked dazed and no longer shouted.

” If I wasn’t worried about causing a mass panic, I would have killed him right now. Get two marines to keep an eye on him personally. If he talks nonsense again, break his neck immediately. This pig-like short-lived creature!”

” You’re a good person,” he said.” His Highness Kant is good in every way. It’s just that he occasionally shows some untimely kindness that’s hard to understand.”

In his opinion, if this ant-like so-called noble wanted to cut the queue, if His Highness was unhappy, he could just throw him into the sea to feed the monsters. Why should he give the other party a chance to survive?

The chief officer watched as the crowd gradually reached the end of the line. His gaze fell on a few refugees who were shirking and dressed in ragged clothes. He suddenly said,” His Highness Kant even saved the poor and beggars. This is also an untimely and incomprehensible benevolence. Although this benevolence is incomprehensible, it makes me feel at ease.”

“That’s right.” Quillion was stunned for a moment before nodding.

The first mate sighed again,”However…” Sigh, Distant Harbor.”

They had all heard Viscount Ron’s crazed scream clearly.

They also heard the monster’s roar resounding through the sea. It said that it knew where the people were retreating to and that it would destroy that place. Looking at the huge tentacles that appeared everywhere in the sea and were more than a hundred meters long on the surface of the water, it was difficult to imagine how terrifying its true size was.

If such a huge beast and its countless descendants attacked the distant port…

“Don’t think about these useless things,” said Quillion decisively. Believe in His Highness Kant, and believe in Her Majesty the Queen. Even a monster like this can’t withstand the power of a Forbidden Spell.”

“All personnel, get on board immediately! The hatch was about to close! Hurry!”

Horus’s voice rang out once again. The sky was dark, and the wind was blowing. The entire airport was covered in mist. Quillion and a few elven officers boarded the plane last. The spacious airport was extremely empty. The cabin door slowly opened. Quillion turned around and saw that the Warriors of Destruction were still in their original positions.

“Come here quickly!” he shouted.

“See you at the distant port!” The other party waved his hand.

“As expected…”the commander whispered.

The hatch slowly closed, and the four D-18T turbine engines were slowly starting up. The single three-axis superfan monster with a maximum thrust of 23.4 tons gradually roared.

The cabin lights lit up, and Quillion looked at the shocked faces. This heavy transport plane had no portholes, so they could not see what was happening outside.

The rest of the fate would be decided by His Highness Kant, Lord Horus, and the gods.

The huge iron bird shook slightly and then began to slide on the temporary runway.

“They’re almost all retreating!”

” Hold on a little longer!” Kant raised his hand and unleashed a series of Lightning Palms.

More than six tentacles had already emerged from the water surface, weaving and dancing wildly in the air, stirring up the water flow and roaring incessantly. The God of Star Palace was roaring and roaring at times. Its mental state was very abnormal, as if it had gone crazy. Perhaps it had gone completely crazy after fusing with the giant sea beast.

“Ahahahahaha!”

Each tentacle had a huge mouthpart at the top, shaking the air and making rumbling sounds.

“Other than these weak fireworks and useless slashes, what else do you have? Fire Stealer! You don’t look like much! What else could he do? What other abilities do you have?”

It roared and swung its tentacles. It roared in pain and laughed wildly.

The tentacles that were like pillars of heaven twisted like pythons after they surfaced from the water. They slapped the water surface and twisted crazily. As they swung and slapped, they let out painful roars.

“Kant!”

” What do you mean?” Derila whispered in the channel.” Did you notice?”

“What?” Kant asked casually.

“After these tentacles surfaced, they did not launch any active attacks!” The Phoenix King said solemnly,” It’s just swinging and slapping the surface of the water like crazy. At first, I thought it wanted to create huge waves and drown the island, but it doesn’t seem to be the case. Its actions are actually irregular!”

” What do you mean?” Kant frowned.

“The feeling these tentacles give me…It seems like he’s using force.” ” It’s painful,” said Derila.

“-pooping?”

“You!”

As soon as he finished speaking, another tentacle broke out of the sea. It was near an island. The tentacle rolled and wrapped around a cliff, then suddenly tightened!

The cliff cracked, rocks fell, and the stone wall collapsed!

The tentacles slapped the surface of the water wildly, accompanied by the Star Palace God’s furious roars and roars!

” It’s pulling its body out of the bottom of the sea!” Kant’s expression changed as a thought flashed through his mind.

“.. Seabed?” ” How big is it?!”

“Horus!” Kant did not answer. How is the evacuation going?”

” All personnel on the islands are being evacuated in an orderly manner. The last flight is expected to take off in ten minutes. The sea monsters have already landed in large numbers, but our combat troops have all been evacuated.”

” The dragons and the Warriors of Destruction are bringing up the rear. They are responsible for protecting a small number of volunteer spellcasters. The latter will control the operation of the necessary magic devices such as the Planetarium and Observer!”

” How are they leaving?” Kant asked.

” A portion will be taken away by the dragons, and the other portion will be transported by heavy-duty helicopters. Although the Z-8 does not support direct flight back to the distant port, it is possible to hover in safe waters and transport it by ship!”

“It sounds like our only enemy is this big guy.”

Kant heaved a sigh of relief.” Now, it’s time for my favorite stone throwing segment.”

Once the evacuated personnel reached a safe height and the seafood completely surfaced, the mass projection would descend from the sky at a speed of several Mach or even tens of Mach, turning it into a tourist attraction along with the broken islands. After the dust settled, everyone would go home.

“Father, are you sure?” Horus asked hesitantly.

“What?” Kant asked casually.

Horus was just about to speak when a thunderous roar rang out.

More and more tentacles broke out of the sea, or rolled up the solid rock layer under the water. They twisted and pulled fiercely, and some tentacles slapped the water surface crazily, sending waves flying.

The sea monsters of all sizes in the sea could not dodge in time and were even knocked unconscious by the violent impact. These scouts and thugs who were collecting flesh and blood were indeed descendants of the deep-sea monster, but now that the ancient and powerful shell had a new owner, the God of Star Palace would not care about this.

It struggled to drag its body, and the tentacles above the water let out more and more excited shouts. It seemed that its progress was very smooth.

“Ah! Fire Stealer! Fire Stealer! This is fate!”

Planes scrambled to escape into the sky because the sea had been invaded by demons. The blue sky was the only pure land. Above the sea, demons danced wildly, and strong winds swept through the sky.

The God of Star Palace’s crazed screams spread far and wide, and the tentacles responded in unison.

“Everything is already destined! Fate could not be changed! Indeed, Fire Stealer! Everything that happened today was destined a long time ago, a long time ago!”

Its voice sounded like it was crying and laughing, as if it was roaring or cursing.

“A long, long time ago! “I was chosen and allowed to walk the great path and observe and cultivate in the Final Land. Thus, I awakened the divine power of the illusionary fog! The others of the same race were not happy about why I was favored, but Asa made a prophecy that one day, I would make a greater contribution with a great sacrifice!”

“Isn’t this the scene today?!” the God of Star Palace shouted.

” I sacrificed myself to become one with this ugly monster. This is a great sacrifice!”

” Destroying a Fire Stealer like you who shouldn’t have appeared for Master is a greater contribution!”

“Kant! Fire Stealer! This was already destined! I’m just like you, a chess piece destined in the river of time! I have fallen into the mortal world, and you have fallen here!”

“Cry! Cry! We’re all the same!”

“We-”

“-all the same!”

Along with this roar that hurt her heart and cursed everything, the sound of rocks shattering echoed from the sea. The cliff collapsed, and the mountain collapsed. The tentacles that climbed up the cliff suddenly jumped up, causing a wave to surge.” I pulled it out!”

The waves in the ocean churned and the water boiled. Loud booms rose from the bottom of the ocean like the song of a whale, but it was filled with the hostility of destruction and hatred. Kant looked down at the ocean. As far as the phoenix could see, in the dark, deep, and blank ocean, the terrifying outline of an unprecedented behemoth appeared!

A flood peak rose in the sea, and waves surged.

” Everyone, retreat immediately!” Kant shouted.

A dragon’s roar rose into the air. The helicopter’s rotating wings soared into the sky. Kant’s figure flashed across the islands. Warriors of Destruction flashed with the Light of Paragon and retreated into the world of white fog. Horus ‘alarm rang out from within the suit.” The impact is coming! Five seconds! Four! Three! Two!

One!”

In the center of the many wildly dancing tentacles, a giant vortex with a diameter of several kilometers began to swirl. The surface of the sea swirled and collapsed, and water vapor and raindrops rolled and dispersed. An indescribable terrifying power spewed out from the vortex. Everything seemed to stop, and the world trembled. Then, time continued to move forward, and the Destroyer reappeared in the mortal world!

“-Arrival!”

Then, mountains emerged from the sea.
