Chapter 302
The very next second after they came out, they looked up and were shocked.
Above their heads, the dazzling Golden radiance made it seem as if they were looking directly at the sun.
Looking up, all I could see was an endless expanse of golden light!
Luo Mio, seated atop the divine throne, had platinum-gold cross-shaped patterns appearing around her ethereal black pupils in her golden eyes.
The "Finality" of the world has begun!
Chapter 76: It is you humans who will destroy the world.
In the "Uncharted Territory," Libra raised its head and looked up at the dazzling golden light in the sky.
Not only Libra, but also the other "Zodiac signs" around the world raised their heads and looked at the Golden radiance in the distant sky. Then, a special cry that could only be heard among them spread throughout the world.
Luo Mio, seated atop the divine throne, merely gazed indifferently at the radiance in the sky.
Luo Mio raised her finger slightly.
Suddenly, the already dazzling Golden radiance burst forth with an even more blinding brilliance.
Looking at the Golden radiance shining above her head, Luo Mio lowered her eyes again.
——
Eight hours after the golden light spread across the entire sky, in the morning, Rentaro and the others arrived at the door of the Strategy Meeting Room.
"We've arrived, everyone."
Kiyomi turned around and spoke to Satomi Rentaro and the others behind her.
Rentaro, Mizuhara Ki Hachi, and Kirimaki Tamaki were seen looking around the corridor.
"This is my first time visiting 'Saint Residence'..."
"Me too."
Rentaro glanced at Mizuhara Ki Hachi and Kirimaki Tamaki behind him, then looked at Tendo Kisara in front of him.
"Miss Kisaragi has been here before?"
"Yes." Tendo Kisara nodded to Rentaro.
"I was invited here by His Your Highness Holy Child regarding the previous 'Scorpio' incident."
"I see." Rentaro lowered his eyes slightly, then looked up at Kiyomi.
"So, what did you call us here for, Ms. Kiyomi?"
Upon hearing Rentaro's words, Kiyomi and beautiful face also twitched, and then she said in a slightly low voice.
"Go inside and you'll find out."
"..."
Rentaro and the others' expressions hardened upon hearing Kiyomi's tone.
Upon entering, they encountered an unexpected person.
"Not yet woven?"
Standing before Rentaro was a beautiful girl in a kimono.
"Oh my, it's been a long time, Satomi, but it hasn't been that long." The girl in the kimono smiled gently at Rentaro.
Shiba Miori, the daughter of the president of Shiba Heavy Industries, the world's largest weapons company!
He is also the person who supplies weapons to the Tendo Civil Security Company, and the Student Council President of Kukita High School, where Rentaro studies.
Why are you here?
Shiba Miori chuckled.
"Well, His Your Highness Holy Child invited me here."
Then Rentaro looked at the silver-haired girl who was bowing her head in silence, and the atmosphere around her was very gloomy.
So, what exactly is it?
The girl slightly raised her eyes and glanced at Kiyomi.
Kiyomi nodded, then controlled the main screen to bring up the display.
Then...
"...!"
Rentaro and the others stared wide-eyed at the scene on the main screen in disbelief.
In the images transmitted by the reconnaissance satellite, on Earth... above their heads was a golden cross as large as the Earth itself.
"Because of Sagittarius, many reconnaissance satellites have deviated from their designated orbits, and this image was taken by our Shiba family's reconnaissance satellite outside the moon."
Upon seeing this scene, Rentaro and the others were so shocked that they were speechless.
"And..."
At this point, Shiba Miori's eyes dimmed slightly, and she spoke with a heavy expression.
"When this happened, the entire world underwent an unimaginable and enormous transformation!"
Shiba Miori then brought up numerous small windows on the large screen.
"This..."
Mizuhara Ki Hachi, Kirimaki Tamaki, and the others also gaped in astonishment.
Countless small windows displayed scenes from around the world.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, typhoons... a series of major natural disasters have swept across countries around the world.
Not only large-scale natural disasters, but also smaller natural disasters such as storms, blizzards, sandstorms, acid rain, hail, landslides, and mudslides appear in the window.
"Only eight hours have passed since they appeared..."
Tendo Kisara stared at the Space Window with a grim expression.
"Now, countries all over the world are facing considerable difficulties because of these natural disasters," Shiba Miori told everyone.
"And because of this, global sea levels are rising rapidly in a straight line, and sooner or later..."
"So, Your Highness Holy Child..."
Rentaro looked at the Holy Child, whose eyes were lowered, and asked, "... Did you call us here just to tell us this?"
"..."
When Rentaro asked her a question, the girl remained silent, keeping her head down.
The girl then stood up and walked towards the door of the Strategy Meeting Room. Because of her silver bangs, Rentaro and the others couldn't see her expression at all.
Before leaving, the girl spoke to Kiyomi in a slightly somber and dejected tone.
"Tell them."
Hearing the girl's tone, Rentaro was taken aback, and then looked at Kiyomi.
"Kiyomi, what exactly...?"
Kiyomi slightly turned her cold and beautiful face and said in a very serious tone.
"Two hours ago, a high-level meeting of various countries decided..."
"The culprit behind the elimination of natural disasters is..."
"!"
Upon hearing this, Rentaro and Tendo Kisara slowly widened their eyes.
The natural disaster occurred because of the golden cross, and the reason for the appearance of the golden cross was the figure on the Heavenly Throne!
Kiyomi spoke again in a solemn tone.
"And through proposals at high-level meetings of various countries and with the permission of the rulers of the other four regions in the Far East..."
"They will use the soon-to-be-repaired 'The Stairway' to complete this project!"
The Stairway?!
Upon hearing this, Rentaro's hands trembled, and he looked at Kiyomi with trembling eyes.
It's worth noting that he once used the "The Stairway" to kill "Scorpio".
He was fully aware of the terrifying power of the "The Stairway"!
"That's why His Your Highness Holy Child looked like that..."
But at that moment, Kiyomi said something that shocked him.
"Because it was an emergency repair, the remote control system of the 'The Stairway' has not been restored, so aiming and operation can only be done manually."
"Huh?"
Kiyomi looked at Rentaro.
"You are the one who, through the recommendation of the surviving Osaka Area ruler Sogen Saitake, will manipulate the 'The Stairway' to carry out this mission!"
"Satomi Rentaro!"
Upon hearing this, Rentaro felt a chill run through his entire body, as if he had fallen into an abyss of ice.
The entire Strategy Meeting Room was silent.
Then Rentaro, his face pale and unsightly, said...
"But why..."
"I know you're confused, Satomi."
At this moment, Shiba Miori stepped forward and spoke to Rentaro.
"But one thing forced the whole world to do this."
"What is it?"
Shiba Miori watched Rentaro in silence, then eliminated the countless windows on the main screen, revealing a golden cross that covered the entire Earth.
"Satomi, you should know that the 'Libra' virus cyst needs time to fully activate, right?"
Rentaro nodded silently.
Shiba Miori looked at Rentaro and said to him.
"What's above our heads right now is like a viral sac in Libra. Once activated, the energy inside will explode instantly! And the power released... be careful, it will destroy the entire world!"
"..."
Rentaro fell into Deathly Stillness silence.
"When will the operation begin...?"
"Tomorrow morning!"
——
Overwhelmed by the immense pressure, Rentaro bid farewell to the others and walked alone through the chaotic streets.
Rentaro lowered his eyes and found himself in an abandoned school campus.
"It's alright, big brother promises you, nothing will happen."
A voice came from the abandoned school playground to Rentaro's ears, and the familiar voice made Rentaro's eyes widen in surprise.
Rentaro quickly climbed over the wall and looked in the direction of the sound.
Then, the familiar white-haired, blue-eyed figure gently and kindly comforted a young "Cursed Children."
"Brother Miohua...?"
Luo Mio also heard Rentaro's voice and smiled gently at him.
Seeing that familiar smile, Rentaro walked over in a daze.
Luo Mio turned her gaze to the young girl in front of her and gently comforted her.
"Trust your big brother, as long as you gently close your eyes, you will see your grandma right away."
