Overturned Tower

Fortunately, the chaos, hatred, and death caused by the complete cutting off of the Happy Island network did not last long or even spread throughout the island.

Because the deeper and more desperate fear has come suddenly and unexpectedly——

The eternal night has arrived.

The ominous and profound darkness in the sky was different from ordinary nights. It's like the difference between a power outage and a black screen.

There are no scattered stars, there is no sky that always looks gloomy and gray, there is no sun that is not dazzling when you look directly at it, and there is no gray-white moon at night.

"……what happened?"

In Tianen Park, Xia quickly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Red crosses are still reflected everywhere on the walls in the park. They were still locked in the office, with the door without a handle unable to be opened.

Xia looked up at the sky, her pupils suddenly shrinking.

"The sky is falling..."

Azhan, who was standing behind her, murmured in a low voice.

“The goddess of joy is holy and beautiful, shining brightly on the earth.

"With enthusiasm in our hearts, we come to your temple—"

The fallen angels wearing crimson halos suddenly put down their weapons neatly.

They sang hymns in unison and cheered to welcome the arrival of eternal night.

“Your power enables people to overcome all differences.

"Under your radiance, people unite as brothers!"

——That is the chant that circulates eternally on Sogo Island.

The crimson light burst out more and more fiercely under the night sky.

The biting cold wind fell from the sky, suddenly falling on the dark city at noon.

And in the streets and alleys, among the marchers who gathered to attack various facilities, there were also people who suddenly stood up when everyone was confused and frightened, raised their hands, and sang loudly and emotionally.

"O people, do you kneel on the ground?

“O people, have you had a premonition of the Creator?

"He must live in the stars,

"——Go to the upper realm of the starry sky to find him!"

That is a verse that does not exist in the eternal cycle of hymns.

Neither "Creator" nor "starry sky" are commonly used words.

But when it is integrated into the hymn, it is so suitable...

It's as if that's how it should be.

“On the shining hill of faith, her flag can be seen waving,

"Even through the cracked coffin, I saw her standing among the angels."

The leader who led the people to attack the reconstruction mechanism enthusiastically waved the gun in his hand like an angel waving a baton.

Among the crowd, there were also many people who catered to him and enthusiastically sang lyrics that did not belong to this era.

In the deep dark night, there were synchronous songs everywhere on the streets and among the crowds. It was a song no one had ever heard before, the second half of a repetitive hymn:

"Be patient with determination, millions of living people!

“Patience for a better world!

"——In the starry sky world above, the great Lord will reward us!"

Delphinium held her belly, gently stretched out her hand to straighten her temples, which were wet with sweat from the battle, and frowned with some worry.

She vaguely heard singing coming from the depths of the forest not far away.

On the bad day, he looks gloomy and says nothing.

In the pure black eternal night, crimson angels were like dying comets, flying from afar. The singing became clearer as they got closer:

"Brothers - in the upper realm of the starry sky, God is judging, just like the world.

“Joy bubbles in the wine glass;

"Drinking the golden wine, the desperate become brave heroes,

"——The cannibals also become gentle!"

"——Is this your real hymn?"

Lang Yan raised his head and looked at Wuming and Xiaoxiao with an unkind expression.

But the two angels also showed confused expressions. Apparently they never knew such a secret.

"……I see."

Wu Ming sneered like he was self-deprecating: "While we were still struggling with whether to draw a clear line between ourselves and the church and the pope... they had already completely abandoned us. No wonder they would make our colleagues into saints." …”

"The Psalm says, "Drink the golden wine..."

Malt Wine murmured: "As expected, are they mass-produced angels through the 'Holy Source'? But looking at their state, they don't look like mechanical angels that switch personalities after putting on a halo..."

"It should be a permanent transformation."

The horn said coldly: "It seems that the church's technology has indeed improved."

"...Wait, the upper realm of the starry sky?"

And Bad Sun noticed another word that shouldn’t have appeared: “Does ‘promotion’ mean to open the gray dome?

"But, now this..."

Rather than opening the gray dome, it would be better to seal it forever.

"The gray dome is not only a closed mechanism, but also a solar energy collection device. It only allows necessary sunlight to penetrate... and the temperature in the universe is very, very low."

Among them, Lothar, the only one who had received a good education and knew the truth about the world, was the ugliest one. Because only as a named elf, she can truly realize what the damage to the gray dome means:

"Although with the insulation of the gray dome, the atmosphere will not directly contact the external space and lose heat, but if this continues, I am afraid... within a month, the surface temperature will drop to zero degrees.

"The sea will freeze over large areas and plants will die over large areas. Factories in Xiacheng District that rely on the synthesis of solar energy and various plants and marine resources will be completely unable to operate.

“Within half a year, the temperature will drop to minus 70 degrees Celsius. Carbon dioxide will condense into dry ice, and humans will not be able to directly enter the outdoors. All animals and plants other than humans will become extinct within this half year.

"In three to five years, the temperature will drop to minus 100 degrees. If we do nothing, I am afraid it will have to wait until ten or twenty years later, when the surface temperature drops to almost minus 150 degrees, the gray dome will It will break due to high temperatures on one side and low temperatures on the other. The Earth will have a chance to resurface...but by then, the oxygen will have frozen into blue ice. Simply put, we are all going to die.

"...The only good news is that white nitrogen ice will cover the entire planet. We will die beautifully. It will be like a beautiful ice ball with a transparent dark blue gem inside."

"That means we only have five years at most."

Delphinium finally understood what the church wanted to do: "If we cannot break the gray dome within these five years, we must follow the 'cyber ascension' advocated by the church and back up our thinking to the data world and from the real world. Total destruction!"

It's like setting your house on fire just to drive away the cockroaches and rats in the house.

For the "promoted" pope, those "old humans" who are still limited to birth, old age, illness, death, grievances and hatreds are the rats in his house!

"Not five years."

Lothar replied: "Absolutely not five years.

"After the solar energy is cut off, either wind energy or tidal energy will quickly become unusable. After the ability to synthesize food disappears, due to the shortage of food... at most, there will be a large-scale, large-scale earthquake in half a year. famine.

“Since then, humanity has never been able to unite.

"That is to say, we only have five months at most - if we can't get to the Gray Dome within five months, I'm afraid we won't be able to open it again."

"——What about the dragons?"

Lang Yan suddenly said: "Do they have the ability to open the gray dome?"

"I think there is probably...maybe there is." Lothar was not sure.

"Then send me to see them."

He said in a low voice: "I'll... convince them."
