Why... did this happen?

At this moment, everyone's expression, including Lei Xue's, turned extremely grim...

None of the ship's defensive systems had worked. The situations they had anticipated—such as the sea surface evaporating, seawater flooding back in, causing the ship to fall, ocean currents forming, and so on—had all failed to occur!
