The entire crystal-pillar layer erupted into an intense oscillation that lasted for more than five minutes, followed by even longer aftershocks and secondary disasters.
Amantir's hollow interlayer structure was like a natural Resonance Chamber. The impact produced by the collapsing crystal pillars created the most terrifying crustal oscillation in history within this planetary-scale Resonance Chamber. The entire southern hemisphere of the planetary battleship roared like a giant bell. Viewed from space, a section of Amantir's land could be seen suddenly sinking inward, only to rebound as if it were elastic—the result of the starship's armor resetters malfunctioning after being unable to withstand the tearing force from within. The entire land began to ripple, twist, and warp. Mountains thousands of meters tall formed and vanished within a few short minutes. Bodies of water boiled and were hurled into the atmosphere, triggering a massive storm that spread across a quarter of the planet in an exceedingly short time. If a planetary-scale Mortal Civilization had existed on this world, it would have regressed to the Iron Age—or worse—within those brief dozen or so minutes.
What happened beneath the strata was even more terrifying.
Although Hao Ren's enthusiasm for causing trouble had reached unprecedented heights, he still had to admit that blowing up a pillar beside one that supported the crust was an experience so thrilling that he absolutely did not want to repeat it. After a series of precisely calculated chain explosions, that towering crystal pillar was cut in two. Under the pressure of the heavy crust, the two sections naturally shifted out of alignment and collapsed. Countless boulders and crystal fragments the size of hills rained down from above, instantly smashing the crystal jungle in the crystal-pillar layer into ruins. The gale and sonic waves that followed then ground those ruins into
