Chapter 94, Section 93: Ten Days
Mary Geoise.
This pinnacle, once a symbol of world power and prosperity, is now completely reduced to ruins.
As far as the eye could see, there was only scorched earth and ruins.
The high temperature had not yet dissipated, and the air was filled with the sulfurous smell of cooled lava. Patches of flames burned stubbornly, and the flickering flames were the most active movement in this deathly silence.
The once magnificent buildings have disappeared, replaced by vast expanses of glass-like ground formed by high temperatures and flowing lava rivers.
At the heart of this scene of destruction, five figures knelt in unison on the scorching ground.
Five World Government War Gods, five men who, in the eyes of the world, wield the highest power in this world, are now kneeling here in such a sorry state.
They all bore what appeared to be very serious injuries. Their normally respectable suits were now tattered from the explosion, and their rags, resembling those of beggars, were covered in ash and dried blood.
The exposed skin showed obvious burns and charred marks, and all five people were pale and weak.
Despite this, their kneeling posture was extremely standard, with their bodies upright, heads bowed, and even the angles of their thighs and calves bent were very neat.
There was no commotion about disaster relief throughout Mary Geoise, because in this explosion that felt like divine punishment, the ordinary Celestial Dragons, who were like useless trash, simply couldn't wait for rescue.
The elite Celestial Dragons who survived didn't need help; they were only slightly injured.
The Five Elders knelt silently, with only the crackling of the flames and the occasional soft popping of the bubbling lava.
After an unknown amount of time, finally, just before dawn, a figure slowly emerged from the core of the explosion, from the lava field.
The figure's exact form was impossible to discern, its outline indistinguishable; only a deep darkness remained, as if swallowing up all light.
The darkness emerged from the lava, dimming even the flames and accelerating the solidification of the lava in its wake.
Upon seeing the dark shadow, the Five Elders lowered their heads even further.
Im's steps were steady, without any haste or signs of injury.
Im moved and finally stopped in front of the Five Elders kneeling in a row.
The crimson eyes in the surging darkness looked at them. Although all five of them were seriously injured, the moment that gaze swept over them, their backs seemed to straighten even more, and they even subconsciously held their breath.
"Ten days, Mother needs results."
The voice rang out, flat and monotone, without any intonation, revealing neither joy nor anger, nor gender; it was simply stating a given fact.
"I will obey Your Majesty's command!"
Without any hesitation, the five elders responded in unison, and simultaneously slammed their foreheads hard against the still-hot lava ground, producing a dull thud.
They remained in that position, not even daring to look up.
Im's gaze, or rather, his dark red eyes, shifted from the Five Elders and slowly swept over the still raging fire and the shocking lava field.
"There are 31 left."
Im spoke again, still with that emotionless statement: "I promised to ensure their bloodline would continue."
The five elders kneeling on the ground all trembled.
The quickest to react was Jegarcia Saturn, the God of Scientific Defense. He slammed his forehead against the ground again, making an even louder sound than before, and shouted urgently, his voice cracking, "The King has not broken his promise! The gene pool is intact! The bloodline of the nineteen royal families has not been severed! It will continue for eternity!"
The other four immediately kowtowed, shouting in unison, "The bloodline of the nineteen kings will be passed down for eternity!"
Im fell silent. The mass of darkness began to move, heading straight in a specific direction, not fast, but with a clear goal.
Marcus Mars, the God of Environment, immediately got up from the ground, not even bothering to brush off the ashes, and quickly followed.
Construction projects fall within his jurisdiction. Unlike the other four War Gods, rebuilding Mary Geoise, especially the Flower Garden, is the most important task for the Environmental War God in the future, without exception.
The place where the Celestial Dragon God stopped is the future location of New Mary Geoise.
The other four Elders remained kneeling until the darkness and Mars, who was bowing behind them, disappeared from sight. Only then did they slowly rise. The four of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with lingering fear and a near-desperate urgency.
They only have ten days.
Sky Island, Apayado, Presidential Palace of the White Sea Region of the Kingdom of Gaya.
The pale light of dawn shone through the huge French windows, spilling onto the soft, pure white carpet.
There was still a faint "you know what I mean" scent lingering in the air of the bedroom.
Oro leaned against the wide, golden headboard inlaid with various precious shells. His bare upper body had smooth, muscular lines that gleamed with a healthy sheen in the dim light.
Stussy, like a lazy cat, clung to him, her short, golden hair scattered messily across Oro's muscular chest.
She hadn't slept all night, but her eyes were still glazed over, her face flushed an unnatural red, and she was breathing heavily. She still felt a little resentful.
-
That night, all the assets and methods she was so proud of were utterly defeated by this man, in every aspect.
"What are you going to do with me now?"
Stussy's voice was hoarse as she tugged at the expensive gold-threaded quilt, trying to find a more comfortable position in her arms.
Auro calmly gazed at the gradually brightening sky outside the window: "You're quite skilled; you could be my personal assistant."
This answer didn't seem to meet Stussy's expectations, but it didn't disappoint her either. She gave a soft hum, which was a sign of acceptance.
Being a personal assistant means that she has access to information from the core of the Jaya Unified Kingdom, possesses certain powers, and can stay by Auro's side at all times.
Auro said no more and directly lifted the golden silk quilt: "There are still performances to be done. Don't delay. We need to return to Elbaf before noon."
Stussy was a little reluctant to sit up when he suddenly felt the cool air, but he still obediently sat up.
New World, Elbaf, after lunchtime.
The warm sunlight shone on a grassy area on the edge of the giant village. Locus, still wrapped in bandages, lay stiffly on the mobile hospital bed, undergoing his daily sunbathing treatment.
He closed his eyes, trying to dispel those complicated thoughts; after all, in his current state, thinking too much was pointless.
-
Unfortunately, a sound that Rocks least wanted to hear at that moment, accompanied by the faint sound of his wheelchair rolling over the grass, shattered his peace.
"Hey! Rocks, sunbathing again?"
Lox opened his eyes abruptly, a slight cracking sound coming from his neck, and he turned his head angrily to glare at him.
P.S. I heard that the checks are a bit more lenient after 8 pm, I'll try it.
