At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

A strong tremor followed, prompting earthquake monitoring agencies throughout Britain to issue piercing red alerts.

Earthquake monitoring personnel reported the incident with alarm to higher authorities in various cities and regions.

Earthquakes always occur in waves. The first shock wave is not the strongest, but the peak value of the earthquake can be estimated based on the intensity of the first shock wave.

At the Cardiff earthquake monitoring station, piercing alarms blared incessantly, and red monitoring lights flashed continuously.

Waaaaah~ Waaaah~

"Oh my god! An earthquake! The initial shockwave reached 6.0, how is that possible!" the monitoring staff screamed, frantically calling the Cardiff Parliament office.

The largest earthquake to have occurred in Britain in the last century was only 6.1 on the Richter Reef, and that was in the Gulf. Britain is not located on a seismic belt and is a region where earthquakes are rare.

Therefore, in Britain, only the capital cities of each region have earthquake monitoring stations.

The Cardiff MP slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "What did you say? An earthquake? Maybe a major earthquake of magnitude 8.0 or higher? Nonsense! Britain isn't even on an earthquake belt, how could there be an earthquake of that magnitude?"

"Do you know how much money it would cost to organize a refuge for all citizens of Cardiff? At most, I can issue a notice on behalf of Parliament."

“Let the citizens of Cardiff bear the losses themselves. Parliament has no obligation to pay for the losses of its citizens. Even if there is a major earthquake, it is not Parliament’s fault. It is a natural disaster, and Parliament is also a victim.”

The same thing is happening in local councils across the country. From the perspective of the country's leadership, the councils have no obligation to organize people to evacuate or to pay for disaster relief. Natural disasters are none of the councils' business, and the people should deal with them on their own.

Cardiff Police Station.

"You all felt the tremors, didn't you? The council has announced that a major earthquake is coming soon. Your duty is to protect the assets of our major taxpayers," the heavily pregnant police chief said to all the superintendents and inspectors in the police station.

"To prevent violent robberies, rubber bullets should be replaced with live ammunition."

A young police superintendent stood up and asked, "Chief, what about ordinary citizens? And what about the emergency supplies prepared for civilians during evacuation?"

"Shouldn't we allocate some police resources to maintain public order?"

Another middle-aged police superintendent spoke up: "Superintendent Irwin, all we need for civilians are community police. We should serve whoever pays taxes to the council. Please take note."

Superintendent Owen clenched his fist: "But..."

"No buts. Alright, sit down, Superintendent Owen. Don't say anything from now on," the chief said impatiently. This Owen really didn't know what was good for him, always doing things that were detrimental to the police department, forcing the entire department to pay some expenses on civilians.

He still doesn't understand that wasting police resources on civilians is a waste of public funds. Everyone in the police department dislikes him. Doesn't he know that?

He had always wanted to kick Irving out of office, but every time he was elected by the civilians, his approval rating was higher than all the superintendents combined.

If the police chief hadn't been directly elected by the council, he probably would still be in that position.

Irving silently gritted his teeth, his neck flushed with anger as he sat down, his hands clasped together under the table.

His fellow superintendents around him looked at him with mockery. They laughed, wondering what benefit it would bring him to stand with civilians and seek benefits for them. Not only was he ostracized, but he was also looked down upon by members of parliament.

If you want to climb the ranks and be assigned to a lucrative law enforcement district, you need to cultivate good relationships with legislators and big businessmen.

Irving ignored his colleagues' mockery and remained steadfast in his determination to do what he wanted to do.

He knew that his colleagues were not on his side; they were two different kinds of people.

He had studied Marxism-Leninism in depth and knew what kind of country this was, so he firmly stood on the side of the people.

'These bastards! They know a major earthquake is coming, but instead of organizing people to evacuate, they're only thinking about protecting the property of the big shots and currying favor with them.' Irving gritted his teeth.

He used to be confused, but after visiting Xia Guo, he realized that this was the right thing for the police to do.

After returning home, he worked hard to help ordinary people resolve their cases and fight for their rights in various communities in Cardiff, gaining their support.

He rose through the ranks from community police officer to superintendent, but his power was minimal; he had virtually no say in the police station and was essentially a figurehead.

Air raid sirens sounded throughout Cardiff.

People who received the earthquake warning panicked and ran out of their homes to escape to open spaces. Along the way, some malicious people would naturally engage in acts of vandalism and looting.

The whole of Cardiff is in chaos.

Looking down from above, large crowds were running out of the buildings, screams and shouts filled the air. Some ran towards the suburbs, others towards the square. The honking of car horns was deafening, and some roads were blocked by cars.

Police officers, armed with guns, protected the wealthy area, preventing civilians from sneaking in. They would whistle and fire warning shots if anyone approached.

Rumble...

The ground shook violently, and the houses began to sway violently, as if they were about to disintegrate and collapse at any moment.

"Ahhh! An earthquake has struck!"

"Run!"

The people taking refuge screamed in terror, and those behind kept shoving those in front; human fear was vividly portrayed in this moment.

Just then, a bright beam of light rose from the direction of Scotland, shooting straight into the sky.

The beam of light was enormous, illuminating the entire sky. A cloud was directly above the beam of light, and it was immediately dispersed.

The beam of light illuminated the entire city of Cardiff, bathing the rooftops of houses in a glow. The fleeing refugees looked up in awe at this incredible sight.

This stunning scene can be seen not only in Cardiff, but throughout Wales.

Even as far away as London, England, one could see the rising sun on the horizon, and in that light, the distant horizon seemed still in daylight.

"Oh my god! What is that?"

"What happened over there?! It's unbelievable!"

Was that God descending upon us?

Anyone who witnessed this scene looked up in awe, as if they felt nothing but shock.

Even the members of those national parliaments stared in disbelief at the distant horizon that had turned into daylight.

In a corner of London, Joan of Arc looked up at the distant horizon in the daylight, behind her the skeleton of a Devourer and the black, viscous liquid that covered the ground.

"Master's power... God's power, is Master sealing away that lost object that could destroy a country?"

Chapter 45: The Knights of the Round Table Will Be Born Amidst the Disaster

The military base outside London is the headquarters of Britain's 'Supernatural Management Committee', guarded by layers upon layers of soldiers.

The military base has layers upon layers of reinforced concrete underground.

The roars of wild beasts occasionally reached outside the walls, and the lowest floor housed captured live monsters.

Of course, they captured these living monsters not to protect civilians, but to study the extraordinary powers they carried, hoping to try to replicate these powers into the human body.

"What? The criminals sent over aren't enough? They need to send another batch? How could they use them up so quickly? Just how crazy are these biologists! They've only used over a hundred criminals in half a month!" James Hunddy, vice president of the Extraordinary Management Committee, frowned as he listened to the voice coming from the phone.

"There are no more criminals sentenced to life imprisonment in England, so it seems we can only look for solutions in Wales and Scotland."

Britain abolished the death penalty decades ago, and the maximum penalty is only life imprisonment.

“Father, once we run out of life-sentenced criminals, we’ll bring in those sentenced to 20 years or more. There are at least 20,000 or 30,000 of them, enough for scientists to develop a scientific method to control the supernatural.” Remar Hendy’s eyes were filled with fanaticism, showing no respect for the lives of ordinary people.

"It is their honor, Father, to be able to make efforts for the extraordinary cause of humanity."

“Hahaha, I’ve had this idea for a long time, the extraordinary!” James’s eyes also lit up with fervor: “Mastering the extraordinary means immortality.”

"Those monsters called Devouring Beasts, according to tests, can live for thousands of years, and their regenerative abilities are terrifying."

Immortality and eternal life have driven all the nobles and wealthy merchants mad; otherwise, he, as the vice president of the 'Extraordinary Management Committee,' wouldn't have such great power.

"Those superhumans are so arrogant! They're clearly avoiding us! It's infuriating; they obviously don't want to hand over their superhuman powers to us," Remar said through gritted teeth, then opened three videos.

One video was recorded by him, one by an ordinary person, and the other by an agent from the Extraordinary Management Committee.

“I encountered them before, but they left before we could get close, showing no intention of communicating with us at all.”

"The second video was recorded by farm workers in Cambridge. This female superhuman with a sword killed a super monster as big as a whale."

"The third video shows our agents venturing into London's sewers to investigate unusual energy reactions, where they encountered this blonde but long-haired female superhuman."

“Our agents had just gone up to her to have a preliminary conversation when she left, not giving us any chance to make contact.”

"They clearly don't want to hand over their supernatural powers to us!" Remar's face turned red with anger.

"They gave supernatural powers to the Xia Kingdom's government but not to us." James's face was extremely ugly. "Do they really think we can't find a way to possess supernatural powers if they don't give them to us? Humph."

"Besides, they might not be in contact with us because they're afraid."

"No matter how amazing a superhuman is, they are still human and will certainly die when faced with attacks from firearms."

Remar's expression turned sinister: "Father, when we encounter superhumans again, we can choose to capture them. Even if we can't capture them alive, we can still study their corpses. Maybe we can figure them out directly."

Extraordinary power, he desperately wanted extraordinary power.

Just then, a piercing alarm sounded.

[Report: A massive high-energy reaction has been detected, and a significant anomaly has been observed at the border between Wales and England!]

Meanwhile, live footage appeared on the screen.

James and Remar were somewhat annoyed that their train of thought had been interrupted, but the next moment their faces were filled with shock.

In the video, a giant pillar of light, more than three kilometers in diameter, rises from the ground and stretches straight into the sky, illuminating the whole of Wales and half of Scotland with its golden light.

There are many images, all from surveillance footage from various parts of Britain, including footage taken by warships sailing in the bay.

The last image is a space scene captured by a weather satellite.

The beam of light had broken through much of the atmosphere, just like the beam of light that descended from the sky in myths and legends.

"This was... caused by a superhuman?" Remar didn't realize that his crotch was wet and his legs were trembling, filled with fear for the superhuman he had just resolved to kill and study.

This shocking scene was not only witnessed by Britain; every country with weather satellites noticed this enormous anomaly immediately.

……

At the border between Wales and England, a huge pillar of light stretched straight into the sky.

The beam of light was so blinding that neither visual detection nor detectors could discern what was happening inside it.

At the center of the pillar of light, Los Saint held the 'World Administrator's Log' in his hand, his golden eyes shining brightly, and endless power emanating from the log in his hand.

What he saw was Britain's entire structure, from the sky to the ground—the surface, the crust, the mantle, extending hundreds of kilometers underground.

At this moment, spacetime is distorted at the boundary between the mantle and the crust. A large amount of crustal rock and mantle fluid layers are being squeezed, as if space is expanding, squeezing the mantle and crust outwards at a slow speed, only a few hundred meters per hour.

However, when the impact spreads to the Earth's surface, it generates enormous energy, causing a major earthquake of magnitude 8.0 or higher, or even 9.0, and will certainly cause the Earth's surface to rise.

Cities, land, forests, and coastlines will all undergo irreversible changes, with the biggest change being that cities may be torn apart by numerous cracks.

"All expansion is restricted to a ten-kilometer radius. Don't even think about expanding underground." Luo Sheng lowered his eyes.
