Rumble!
Thunder roared.
Startling everyone by the Tianchi Lake.
Given that Tianchi Lake is at an extremely high altitude, this thunderclap felt incredibly close, directly overhead.
Everyone was jolted by the sudden, inexplicable thunder and involuntarily turned their gaze towards its source.
They saw dark clouds pressing down from the sky, with flashes of blue-purple lightning flickering within.
Accompanied by peals of thunder, the lightning streaked through the clouds like an ancient dragon,
creating an atmosphere as if the world was ending.
The viewers in the livestream clearly witnessed this spectacle.
They too were utterly baffled.
"What's going on? Why is it suddenly thundering??"
"Holy crap, haven't you guys noticed anything weirder?"
"This lightning is only appearing in this one area! It's not happening anywhere else!!"
"Damn, now that you mention it, that's true. Is it that terrifying?"
"Look quickly, the lightning is blue-purple. What kind of thunder haven't I seen before?"
"Is this thunder??"
...
Mo Zi, who was watching the livestream, also saw it and couldn't help but glance into the distance.
She was instantly stunned: "You... you guys look, the lightning seems to be only in our area."
Following her gaze, they saw that the distance was peaceful, with only the thunderclouds rolling over Tianchi Lake. This left everyone present speechless.
What was happening?
Why was it suddenly thundering?
And why was it only in this specific area?
While nowhere else was affected?
"Good opportunity! Run!"
The other three from the Beautiful Country also froze for a moment, but quickly regained their senses.
Seeing the others still in a daze, Jack's sly thoughts began to stir.
However.
Just as the other two nodded and prepared to turn and flee.
Boom...
With a deafening clap of thunder, a bolt of blue-purple lightning descended.
"Holy crap!"
Seeing the surging lightning, everyone gasped and immediately tried to escape.
After all!
Lightning!
Such a natural disaster was beyond human resistance.
Yet, as these thoughts crossed their minds, the thunderclap struck.
It landed less than ten meters from Jetty.
The ground instantly turned black and charred.
"Ah..."
Seeing the scorched earth pit so close, Jetty screamed in terror and fled as fast as her legs could carry her.
On the other side.
"Move! Move!"
An officer loudly shouted at those nearby to retreat quickly.
Although he was reluctant to let these few go, a natural disaster was before them.
To ensure the safety of others, he had no choice but to let them go for now.
The next moment!
Boom boom boom!
Another thunderous roar erupted.
A bolt of blue-purple electricity shot down, striking near the other three.
Following that.
The lightning seemed to descend relentlessly upon the three.
As for the other people in a different area, it was as if they had been forgotten by the heavens.
"Ah... fuck, fuck."
"God, please protect me!"
"God, I am your most devout follower, please strike them!"
Jack, Jetty, and the ape-gene warrior screamed and dodged the lightning.
They frantically evaded, and on several occasions, they were about to escape the Tianchi area.
But each time, the lightning would intercept them, blocking their path.
"This..."
Witnessing the scene unfolding before them, all the soldiers couldn't help but laugh.
While they were deeply shocked, they simply couldn't suppress their laughter.
"Hahaha, is this what they call poetic justice?"
"Look at them dodging the lightning, don't they look like monkeys?"
"Hahaha, even the heavens are helping our Great Xia."
"How dare these people?"
"Is this scene less epic than Boruto?"
"Way more epic, I'm so moved I could kneel."
...
"Ah... help, help!"
On the scene, the three continued to shriek, dodging.
But the lightning showed no signs of stopping, instead intensifying.
"Fuck!"
At this moment, Jack glanced back at Mo Zi and the others.
He roared, his patience worn thin.
With a burst of speed, he charged directly towards their group.
In his mind, it seemed that as long as he was in the same area as them, he wouldn't be struck.
Even if he still might be, he wouldn't have to bear it alone.
Moreover, he might be able to dodge it, but others might not be so lucky.
It had to be said, Jack was quite cunning.
The military officer on the other side clearly understood Jack's intention.
He repeatedly ordered his soldiers to open fire.
Dada dada!
Countless muzzle flashes erupted, and bullets ‘dada dada’ struck Jack's body.
But this... only slightly slowed him down.
"Damn it!" The officer's face changed upon seeing this.
He reached into his chest, grabbed a grenade, and immediately threw it.
Bang!
The grenade exploded upon hitting the ground, but the throw was too slow.
Jack dodged it with ease.
In the blink of an eye, Jack was less than twenty meters away from Great Xia's position.
At this distance, with Jack's current physical condition, he would reach them in mere seconds.
"Great Xia people, if we die, we die together!" Jack roared ferociously.
The officer's face darkened. He tightly gripped another grenade at his waist.
As a military officer, he absolutely would not allow Jack to get close.
So... if throwing grenades wouldn't work, he would ram into Jack, grapple him, and then detonate it!
With this thought, the officer stared intently at Jack, gathering all his strength, waiting for the moment.
But the next second!
Rumble!
A blue-purple lightning bolt, as thick as a bucket, descended.
This time, the lightning was significantly faster than before.
It seemed as if the heavens were enraged by Jack's actions.
"Fuck!"
Seeing the lightning strike directly at him, Jack's expression changed dramatically.
But... with only a fraction of a distance separating him, he was unwilling to let this opportunity slip.
Furthermore, he didn't believe the lightning could hit him.
After all, he had already confirmed this earlier.
With this thought, he chose to push forward once more.
Boom!
The violent lightning directly struck his body.
Sizzling!
Countless arcs of electricity flashed all over him.
"Fuc—"
Jack's body was scorched black, his hair standing on end.
The next second, filled with unwillingness, he collapsed to the ground.
"This... what is going on!"
Seeing Jack, who was only two or three meters away, the officer who was preparing to charge forward, along with the others, were stunned.
How could it be... that the lightning seemed to have struck Jack deliberately?
"Jack!!"
On the other side, Jetty and the ape-gene warrior's eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at Jack's corpse.
What on earth was happening?
Why would they suddenly be struck by lightning like this?
"Roar~"
As everyone was racking their brains for an explanation,
from beneath Tianchi Lake, a dragon's roar echoed.
This dragon's roar seemed to resonate from ancient times.
Following that!
A colossal wave of water erupted from the center of Tianchi Lake!
