Chapter 677 The Great Destruction
After becoming an apostle, Tengba possessed near-infinite life. He led his race and carved out an empire of his own in one-sixth of Blue Star's territory. Here, buildings towered into the clouds, warships filled the seas, and airships entered space. The entire Blue Star was occupied by these six races, and the power and dominion of the six apostles, including Tengba, reached their peak.
But after rapid development, the six races fell into a period of inertia.
Decades passed, and their combat capabilities and scientific research levels made no further progress. They stagnated, and even began to decline.
This was easy to understand.
When you hold the highest power, with no threat of war, when you can do whatever you want, you no longer have the motivation to continue strengthening yourself. Whether you continue to develop or maintain the status quo, your privileges will not change.
This continued for a long time, so long that a sea on Blue Star became a dried-up basin. Li Tianran kept watching the repeating scene: Tengba sitting on his throne, receiving tributes from his followers.
One hundred and twenty years after Tengba became an apostle, a sudden change occurred.
That day, the sky was gloomy, as if a thick fog enveloped the entire firmament. The clouds were low, creating a sense of oppression. A strong wind blew from the northernmost canyon, carrying ice crystals and instantly dropping the temperature of the entire Blue Star below zero.
The sea churned, and tsunamis occurred in many places.
The ground shook and cracked, and earthquakes of magnitude eight or higher occurred in many areas.
But even such natural phenomena could not arouse Tengba's vigilance, because in his long life, he had seen countless natural disasters more terrifying than these.
His race was entirely composed of Evolutionaries, although only First Order Evolutionaries, but their vitality was strong enough to ignore various natural disasters such as cooling and high temperatures. Moreover, the structural strength of their race's buildings was sufficient to withstand earthquakes.
What made Tengba uneasy was… all the satellites, space stations, airships, and other equipment of his race in space had been disconnected from the ground base stations, as if an invisible knife had cut them off. He completely lost control of the situation in space.
And when he contacted the other five apostles, he discovered that they were experiencing the same situation.
That layer of strange fog had isolated the entire Blue Star's signals.
The always powerful and confident apostles were somewhat panicked at this moment, not because of the natural disasters, but because of the "unknown." For them, who were always omniscient and omnipotent, the current situation was beyond their control!
Finally, under the decision of the six apostles, Tengba and the leader of the Yu Ren (Winged Human) race, the "Gale Apostle," decided to rely on their powerful Second Order Evolutionary bodies to break through the fog and fly into the high sky to investigate what had happened.
They chose different directions, flapping their giant wings, constantly ascending through the dense fog.
As they rose higher, the air temperature dropped lower and lower. Tengba's giant wings were covered with hard ice, and it became increasingly difficult for him to fly.
He did not know how long had passed, but Tengba felt that he was at least 12,000 meters above the ground. He had entered the troposphere, and the dense fog had thinned out a lot. He tried hard to look outward and saw a shining star in the dark space.
The brightness of this star was many times higher than any star he had ever seen, almost comparable to Blue Star's closest moon, but this direction… was not the position of the moon.
Had a new planet appeared very close to Blue Star?
Tengba was stunned for a moment.
But then, his pupils contracted.
He saw the star becoming brighter and brighter, and in his vision, the star was constantly enlarging!
The temperature in the atmosphere was also rising sharply. The ice on Tengba's two giant wings melted at a terrifying speed. His body, which had not felt pain for many years, could hardly bear it at this moment!
He looked at the increasingly bright star and let out a terrified roar.
This was not a shining star at all, but a meteorite crashing into Blue Star at an extremely high speed!
That dazzling light was the intense light and heat generated by friction in the atmosphere!
"Aowu!" Tengba roared in horror. Since becoming an apostle, he had hardly experienced the shadow of death, but now it enveloped him. Even from a distance, looking at the giant meteorite crashing in this direction, he felt his muscles stiffen.
He flapped his giant wings, desperately fleeing to the left.
He had never been so fast, and he had never been so embarrassed!
Finally, he escaped the airspace before the meteorite passed through the troposphere. The meteorite ruthlessly tore apart the dense fog and crashed towards Blue Star below.
The remaining four apostles on the ground looked at the fog in the sky. Suddenly, they discovered that the fog seemed to have an extra sun. The scorching light pierced through everything, and the sea of fog twisted violently.
Soon, they discovered the existence of the meteorite!
There was no time to intercept it, and no time to activate weapons. The meteorite had already fallen on the ground. In an instant, the entire Blue Star trembled.
The giant meteorite fell on the ground, and a deafening explosion rang out. The terrifying shockwave instantly destroyed everything near the point of impact.
Those cities made of steel turned into nothingness in an instant.
Those powerful Evolutionaries became steam in an instant.
It was impossible to describe what the scene looked like. As if the world was being destroyed, the apostles' top empire on Blue Star was as fragile as a sandcastle in the face of such a terrifying natural disaster, and it shattered with a touch.
The location where the meteorite landed was far from the apostles' location, and the terrifying shockwave did not affect them.
But this did not mean that they had escaped unscathed.
Because at this time, in the twisted sky and sea of fog, a large number of scorching light sources lit up again!
This was not a small disaster of a single meteorite hitting the Earth.
This was a devastating natural disaster brought about by a meteor shower!
Countless meteorites of varying sizes fell from space. They shattered the satellites and space stations that the apostles had sent into the sky, and, carrying fragments of steel, came at extremely high speeds, falling on Blue Star.
The power of each of these meteorites was no less than that of a nuclear weapon.
They easily destroyed the apostles' empire, turning the entire land into scorched earth!
The apostles roared, and their followers cried.
The ground was collapsing, volcanoes were erupting, and floods surged onto the surface.
The once magnificent and advanced civilization was almost completely annihilated.
This was a natural disaster.
This was… a great destruction.
