As the sun rose over the East Sea and the first ray of dawn fell upon the tundra, the Gu family's Night Watchmen, who had stayed awake all night, left the base one after another and stood in the wind and snow wrapped in heavy robes.
"Rumble—!"
The black-silver base erupted with a violent roar amid the ignition countdown.
Seventeen Sky Sheath missiles shot into the sky, kicking up thunderous shockwaves and snowflakes. They became swords piercing the heavens and descended upon Gubu from afar... In the final three minutes, the Three Continents Alliance Meeting canceled its original Sky Sheath Strike plan. With the data support provided by Gu Shen, they decided to carry out a "Pinpoint Strike" on Gubu, erasing the storm's impact on the human world.
Seventeen Sky Sheath missiles landed precisely upon the gates of Gubu Fortress!
Under the influence of Flesh Mountain, the Source Matter Storm that should have spread into the northern interior was held back. As the Sky Sheath Shards were released, the entire Gubu Fortress was drowned in deafening explosions.
The violent torrent that had crushed Gubu Fortress instantly vanished beneath the heavy blow of the Sky Sheath.
But this clamorous world did not become quiet because of it.
The Source Matter vortex above Gubu Fortress expanded dozens of times in an instant. The seventeen Sky Sheath missiles had struck the same point, and their spreading effect multiplied exponentially. This was the only way to disperse the Source Matter Storm in Throat Land and prevent it from spreading deeper... The price of this strike was that the Due North Frontier of Northern Continent had permanently lost a vital fortress.
This protruding point on the map, the frontier high ground best suited for defense, had been destroyed by humanity's own hands.
"Absurd! Utterly absurd!"
