Chapter 459: 459
We headed back to Seoul right away .
The first thing we confirmed was the safety of the [Industrial Complex] .
"We haven't detected any other strange phenomena after that event," said Aileen, currently in charge of the central situation room .
The display panel in the room was showing the footage shot near the Pacific Ocean . A gigantic island was rising up from the part of the ocean close to the American continent . I had no doubt that this was one of the 'calamities' I knew of .
Back in the 'Ways of Survival', the master of that island was a very powerful upper-rank Outer God . Our issue now would be whether it was the same guy or not,
"My mother?"
"She's currently at the Eastern coastline . "
" . . . . Eastern coastline?"
[The rise of the forgotten island has begun!]
As the system message resounded out, we witnessed the waves rushing in at the other side of the Pacific . An unprecedented scale of terrain alteration had occurred, so it was obvious that an equally-incredible volume of tsunami waves would crash into the various parts of the world pretty soon . Naturally, the one to bear the worst of it was the United States .
- Kwa-gagagagk!
Horrible screams of Incarnation Bodies resounded out and the streets of New York were being swept away . Tsunami waves weren't the end – using the waves themselves, the lower-ranked Outer Gods, the 'Nameless Ones' were rushing in, as well . These low-ranked creatures were flooding in unchecked to tear and devour the American mainland .
There was no time to ask for help, either . Almost half of the continent had disappeared in less than thirty minutes after the calamity began . One hour later, the whole of the USA was covered in a jet-black aura .
The scale of this calamity was so great that the [Dark Castle] or the [Disaster of Floods] couldn't even remotely compare in the scope .
"Could it be that my mother . . . . "
Aileen nodded her head and added something else . "I'm not . . . entirely sure if it qualifies as a good thing, but . "
Next up, the display panel switched to the eastern coastline of the Korean Peninsula . As expected, the tsunami wave had reached this far, as well . Although the height of the wave was much lower compared to the one that hit America, and there were no 'Nameless Ones' riding on it, a tsunami wave still presented an enormous natural disaster all on its own .
- Oh, the Wind God of the Heavens!
As soon as my mother's yell came to an end, powerful gusts of wind exploded out from the folding fan she was holding . Pungbaek who acted all stiff and uptight back in the 'Great War of Saints and Demons', was pulling his weight this time, it seemed .
Even Jo Yeong-Ran, who could be called my mother's right hand, was taking an active part in the event, as well .
[Great Fable, 'Shindansu', has begun its storytelling!]
must've been paying attention to this event, because the [Shindansu]'s Fable had planted its roots deeply into the ocean and was blocking the disaster by using the Korean Peninsula's Probability .
While looking as if she just lost ten years of her life, Han Su-Yeong muttered dazedly . " . . . . Anyways, isn't that woman in the United States, too?"
There was only one person that Han Su-Yeong would refer to as 'that woman' .
"Couldn't she have used her [Precognition] to predict that?"
"I was about to speak to you in regards to that matt . . . . "
Even before Aileen could finish, the side door to the situation room opened up and a certain someone made her entrance . Confirming the visitor's identity, Yu Jung-Hyeok immediately reached towards the [Dark Heavenly Demon Sword] .
"We didn't come to fight, so stay your sword, Conquering King . "
Her [Eye of Great Demon] vibrated brightly .
They were the Prophet Anna Croft and the 'Zarathustras' she led .
*
"The alert has been issued five hours ago . Most have escaped to other parts of the world, but still, many failed to leave on time . "
"Why didn't you ask us for help?"
"We simply didn't have the leeway . And also, we couldn't fully trust the information gleaned from the Precognition, too . It was the first time that such large-scale information on the future had gone through such a sudden change, so I . . . . "
Anna Croft looked quite troubled just then .
A sudden change in the large-scale information on the future – that would be a pretty good indication that even her Precognition didn't possess any merit when it came to the 'Final Scenario' .
Han Su-Yeong asked as if she wanted to nitpick . "What about for visiting .
My words caused Han Su-Yeong to narrow her eyes . "You got something?"
"If they are not willing to meet us, then we should go and speak to them, instead . "
"Where will you go first, then? As I thought, it's the easiest of the lot, the , right?"
"I think you're probably the only person out there who calls the the easiest . "
I ignored the smirking Han Su-Yeong and looked at Jeong Hui-Won .
Asking for 's aid was indeed a priority, but there was something else more urgent than that right now . We had about fourteen days left . With the minimum effort, we needed to get the maximum possible result .
"We should regain our lost comrade first . "
What I was looking at, was the Steelsword hanging on Jeong Hui-Won's hips .
[Soul of the Character 'Yi Hyeon-Seong' is in slumber . ]
The after-effects of the Steel Transformation 5th stage was worse than I expected, it seemed .
"We'll go meet the 'Master of Steel' . "
"The Master of Steel? Will someone like that help us?"
I nodded my head . "The Master of Steel is a powerful Constellation . Although he's not a Myth-grade, there's no doubt we need his powers far more urgently than any top tier Constellations out there . "
"How come?"
