Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 128 When the World Is Destroyed...

"All living things that are on the earth—birds, livestock, wild animals, and creeping things that crawl on the earth, and all human beings—have died."

"All living things that breathe in the dry land are dead."

“All living things on the ground—man and livestock, insects and birds—have been wiped out from the ground…”

—The Old Testament of the Bible

"Ah ah ah ah..."

The overwhelming tide crashed down, engulfing the entire ancient city of Barbaro. Countless low-lying houses and pedestrians on the road were instantly swept into the endless whirlpool of the sea. The screams and cries of fear disappeared in an instant into the roaring billions of tons of seawater.

Numerous pieces of wood and silk fabric were broken, and some people who had miraculously survived the water were struggling desperately in the chaotic and surging tide, but they were often dragged into the water by the underwater currents the next moment and never reappeared.

However, not all buildings were destroyed in an instant; some exceptionally sturdy structures still managed to stand firm amidst the raging floodwaters.

At the top of the tallest cathedral in the ancient city of Barbaro, the floodwaters barely reached the top of the cathedral, but a few people were lucky enough to cling to the iron lightning rod at the very top of the cathedral and were not swept away by the flood.

Soaked to the bone, Mad trembled as he clung to the thick iron pillar. The water was already up to his ankles and was rising rapidly. Perhaps, he wouldn't survive much longer.

"help me……"

Just then, Mad heard a familiar female voice screaming beside him. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw only a fair hand reaching out from the water not far away. Then the hand disappeared into the water and there was no sound.

The water was flowing so fast that the woman barely managed to cry out for help before being submerged.

However, no matter how fast the water was flowing, Mad could still tell who it was by the gold bracelet on that arm...

He reached out as if trying to grab onto something, his whole body trembling with fear, sorrow, despair, and a deep sense of powerlessness. He opened his mouth wide, wanting to cry but finding himself unable to cry or speak.

"My daughter... my daughter..."

He screamed shrilly and tried to jump directly into the water. If a young man he didn't know hadn't grabbed him in time, he would have drowned instantly.

All around, the water was raging and raging. The magnificent governor's mansion was submerged. None of the sorcerers who had mastered the mysterious magic were able to escape. The hundreds of thousands of people who once lived in this city were instantly submerged in the water. It is likely that apart from Mad and the few young people beside him who were lucky enough to reach the cathedral, no one else survived.

And just then...

"Rumble..."

The deafening roar of the water sounded like a god wielding a giant hammer, pounding the earth. All the light before them gradually dimmed. This sound and sight were familiar to the few remaining survivors…

Mad raised his head blankly. In the dark, oppressive gloom, the surging tide, like an insurmountable wall, filled the old man's entire field of vision, obscuring the sky and the sun above, threatening to engulf the whole world.

The second wave has arrived...

At this moment, words were useless. Unable to kneel down, the old man could say nothing more than a silent shock.

Finally, his Adam's apple bobbed as he gazed at the sky about to be obscured by the high walls, at the light peeking through the clouds. As if seeing something, a bright light shone in his eyes. He instinctively reached out, his gaze filled with deep longing, and then cried out desperately to something in the heavens.

"god……"

Amidst those desperate pleas, the towering wall crashed down, extinguishing the light in their sight.

……

In the kingdom of Sassan, thousands of miles away from Barbarossa. Sassan, the capital of a kingdom, is also the name of the kingdom. From its inception, the entire country expanded outwards from this capital, Sassan, and eventually took shape.

This is a nation with an extremely fierce and warlike culture. Even a three-year-old child would not hesitate to shoot the enemy with a crossbow after robbers broke into their home and killed their parents. The country, built on the grasslands, means that everyone owns a warhorse. Young ponies and mares are considered the exclusive domain of the elderly and children, while adults generally disdain them.

The immortal emperor ruled this kingdom with absolutely strict and fair laws. This nation was neither wealthy nor particularly savage, but it was undeniably powerful; a fanatical pursuit of power permeated its entire tradition. As this powerful nation vigilantly guarded the boundary between grasslands and plains, protecting human civilization, all vampires and monsters trembled, unable to cross its barriers and enter civilized lands.

Humanity praises the greatness of the immortal emperor and the justice of the emperor known as "Judah," for he regards the law as the supreme authority, and even he himself must obey the law. It is for this reason that everyone in this barbaric and powerful Sassanid Empire reveres the law.

The golden age, seemingly destined to last for countless years, is now facing an impending crisis of destruction.

Inside the palace, the immortal emperor, leaning on the railing, gazed into the distance, staring at the sky with a gaping hole, watching the column of water cascading down from the heavens. He watched silently, and then spoke.

"Wei, is that the future you see?"

The king's voice was calm and steady, showing no panic even in the face of this unprecedented upheaval. Beside him, the beautiful woman draped in a veil nodded sadly and sighed.

"Your Majesty, this world has come to its end; this is a revelation from God..."

Even with your eyes that can see the future, can't you see any hope?

The king remained noncommittal, speaking calmly.

The woman beside him simply shook her head helplessly.

The immortal emperor remained silent for a long time. Under his gaze, the surging tide in the distance gradually approached, spreading out from an invisible white line. He understood that every inch the white line expanded meant that countless lives of his subjects would be swallowed up, but he remained silent.

After a moment of contemplation, he spoke slowly.

“Veigh, Sassanus values ​​the law and the worth of human beings. A killer can only atone by saving another; for every person I order my army to kill, I must also govern to save one, for the nation is not my private property, this is fairness, and I cannot transgress it. However…Veigh, if God were to destroy the entire world, how many lives would it take to save it?”

This immortal emperor, regarded as a tyrannical and autocratic ruler, had thoughts that were quite different from those of ordinary people. As the world was about to be destroyed, he was thinking about something that seemed very strange to ordinary people.

Beside him, the woman gently shook her head.

“Your Majesty, how can man understand the intentions of God?”

The king nodded, and then spoke.

"Perhaps, however, Wei..."

Before the immortal emperor, the sound of the water was gradually approaching. He could clearly see the soldiers being swept into the flood, their screams of despair, and the scene of many subjects being swallowed by the flood.

"..."

Numerous alarm bells and cries for help rang out as they pleaded with the king for salvation, but the king was powerless to help.

Facing the raging floodwaters before him, this immortal emperor opened his arms, took a deep breath, as if embracing this magnificent and vast world. He closed his eyes, looked up at the sky, and murmured something.

"My ideals shouldn't have ended here... But, God, how could you be so cruel, unwilling to give me even a little more time? Utopia... the utopian city I built, will it never be completed? Was the dream of yesteryear ultimately just a dream?"

Just then, a hand gently grasped his palm. Wang was startled and turned around. Beside him, a woman draped in a thin veil was quietly watching him...

In an instant, the surging waters swallowed everything.
