Ark, they don't revolve around you

"What's wrong?!" The companion was stunned.

“I think I saw someone…walking towards the natural disaster.” Benjamin’s voice was very low.

"Are you dreaming? Who would take the initiative to go to a natural disaster?"

"Stop talking nonsense and bring me the telescope!" Benjamin shouted angrily.

His companion shrugged, sensing Benjamin's inner panic, but he still did as he was told based on past experience.

Benjamin immediately raised the telescope. His eyesight was good, and with the help of the telescope, he immediately saw the figure approaching the natural disaster.

He was a man in a black coat, his face couldn't be seen clearly, and he walked very slowly, like a pilgrim.

Is this a rusty hammer?

——The Rusted Hammers are a group that refuses to assimilate into civilization and worships the Scourge.

Benjamin was still guessing, but the person he was staring at seemed to notice Benjamin's prying.

He stopped and turned his head slightly to face Benjamin.

The hand gestured.

This is the most common gesture among pioneers, meaning - leave immediately!

Benjamin began to gasp for breath, and an inexplicable feeling of suffocation surged into his chest. He was suddenly very scared, for no reason, and felt fear instinctively.

"No rest, hurry, hurry, go!" he roared.

Before he could explain, there were footsteps in the distance. It turned out to be a deer. The sturdy deer ran with all its might, like the wind passing through the wilderness.

The deer are…on the run.

The pioneers finally realized that something was wrong and impatiently picked up their bags and prepared to escape.

After a moment of hesitation, Benjamin hardened his heart, picked up the telescope, and planned to take a last look at the man who had prompted him to run.

Just with this one glance, Benjamin froze completely.

He saw the man holding up the black Originium in his hands and raising it solemnly.

Then, the Originium rose up and merged into the storm of natural disasters.

"Run, Benjamin!" his companion roared.

But Benjamin's hands dropped. He didn't understand anything, only a hunch.

"No..."

"It's too late, it's too late..."

The moment the words fell, a thunder exploded, tearing through the night.

The companion who was about to reprimand Benjamin remained speechless and stared blankly at the scene in front of him.

From all directions, thunder was like a raging python!

It even covered every corner of the wasteland, leaving people with nowhere to escape.

“Impossible…” His lips trembled, “How could this natural disaster… have such a large scope?!”

All that could be seen was the lightning of natural disasters. In the dark night, dark clouds rolled up with the strong wind at the end and rain fell.

The heavy rain beat down on Benjamin.

His eyes turned to the deer that was running just now.

The deer ran very fast, as if death was following it, but it eventually fell down. At the moment of falling, strands of crystals climbed up its body.

In the blink of an eye, the deer was sealed in the crystal of Originium, reminiscent of a bug wrapped in amber...

Benjamin raised his hand and found that there was a hint of black on his fingertips.

That is Originium.

He raised his head in astonishment, and together with his companions, saw this doomsday-like scene.

……

……

The original Originium has been integrated into the Scourge Cloud.

Only at this point did Zhuang Ning seem to feel at ease and let the wind blow his windbreaker.

From the pocket of his coat, a voice came from the terminal: "You did it in the end."

prts - or rather, the artificial intelligence equipped with the Prissus Wisdom Module exclaimed, "It's so beautiful."

"Yes, it's really beautiful." Zhuang Ning smiled slightly, "Colombia... the final place chosen by the law for me."

"This wasteland is pregnant with the largest natural disaster in the past thousand years. As long as it comes into contact with the original source stone, the natural disaster it triggers will continue to expand."

"Overnight, the Originium will engulf every inch of Terra... just like the flood sent down by God in the myth."

"In the first trial, you did more than just kill people... With the help of the law, you were able to use your sense of touch to perceive every corner of Terra."

The long-lost voice sang softly, "Everything... is due to this natural disaster that can wipe out all living things."

"Originium will assimilate every substance it touches." Zhuang Ning said softly, "What could be more arrogant than leading this trial?"

So, prts laughed.

She spoke again, her voice majestic and loud: "Behold! I am about to bring a flood upon the earth, destroying all living things under heaven. All flesh, all living creatures that have the breath of life, will die."

“Then on that day the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.”

“There was heavy rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights!”

"Just like a charlatan." Zhuang Ning commented.

He knew that what PRTs was talking about was God's flood that destroyed all things.

At that time, God gave Noah seven days to build the ark. After the flood of forty days and nights subsided, Noah would rebuild his civilization.

"But, it's very similar, right?"

"I won't be that cruel... I don't intend to kill everything."

Zhuang Ning stood up and began to hum a song. His voice was still as bad as ever, but the melody he sang was truly integrated into the natural disaster.

That is the golden rule!

The foundation of Leitania builds the melody of the empire.

Zhuang Ning integrated this melody into the natural disaster and spread it to every corner of Terra.

"This time, more people will die, but those who survive... will be blessed by me."

“I will make a covenant with them with the Golden Rule, to stop cursing and put an end to conflicts!”

"This is the greatest salvation I can offer!"

This is a ceremony of deification.

When the Scourge spreads to every corner of Terra, every Originium is equivalent to Zhuang Ning's will, and everyone will obey his voice under the call of the Golden Rule.

This is... the second trial!

……

……

Victoria, Londinium, some people are still awake.

In the monastery far away from the secular world, Vina suddenly opened her eyes, stood up with lingering fear, and walked to the corridor.

The moonlight is bright, rippling like water waves.

But in an instant, the waves were swallowed up by darkness, the light of the two moons was obscured, and dark clouds quickly emerged and engulfed the sky above Londinium.

She heard the howling of the storm.

Amid the whistling, a great voice echoed:

“I will make a covenant with them with the Golden Rule, to stop cursing and put an end to conflicts!”

"This is the greatest salvation I can offer!"

The sound is so familiar, yet so strange.

It was clearly Zhuang Ning, yet he looked so ethereal and high above everyone else, as if he were a god.

Vina was startled and saw that the nuns were all up, apparently having heard a similar sound.

The outside world became noisy, and the entire Londinium was awakened in an instant. Everyone went outside and saw thunder and lightning in the city.

Someone pointed to the sky and uttered a horrified voice: "Natural disaster!"

……

……

Casimir, Grand Knight.

In the arena of this city that never sleeps, the sound of metal ping-pong can still be heard.

On the stage, two knights fought each other, and their battle became increasingly intense amid the audience's enthusiastic cheers.

Suddenly, the twin moons disappeared.

In the lightning, it seemed as if someone was looking over, staring at everyone here.

Even the knights forgot about the battle, put down their weapons, raised their heads dully, and stared at the Scourge!

The arena suddenly became busy, and the host was stunned: "Natural disaster!"

"Natural disaster! Natural disaster is coming!"

"Why didn't anyone notify the messengers? Damn it, where are the messengers? They are all a bunch of rubbish!!!"

The arena was boiling with noise, and the cheers turned into shouts mixed with fear.

It was not until this time that someone finally saw black crystals spreading on his fingertips.

“Originium!! Why is there an Originium!!”

Her roar attracted everyone's attention, and the people around her unconsciously moved away from her.
