Chapter 305
As she left the control room and came outside the "The Stairway," she looked up and saw the golden sky, her crimson eyes slowly widening.
Directly above the "The Stairway" is a very conspicuous black sphere.
Just as everyone was wondering, a huge suction force appeared!
The suction force immediately caused Rita Sosberry to use all her strength to firmly grip the ground.
However, the others were not so lucky; the enormous suction force pulled all the surrounding staff into the black hole.
The moment they touched the black hole, the staff member's body twisted violently, as if being wrung out like a towel.
The crimson blood was particularly conspicuous in the air, but due to the suction force, it was all sucked into the black hole.
"Click! Click! Click!"
The supports securing the "The Stairway" began to creak and groan.
Meanwhile, the armored vehicles, tanks, and armed helicopters on guard around them were also unable to escape the suction force, were twisted into a ball of scrap metal, and then sucked into the black hole.
In a short while, the massive mechanical cannon and barrel of the "The Stairway" were completely lifted off the ground and pulled into the black hole by its enormous suction force.
Upon witnessing this scene, high-ranking officials from various countries slumped into their chairs in shock.
In the Hokkaido Region of the Far East, Sogen Saitake and Juzōji Tsukihiro also looked extremely grim upon witnessing this scene.
You should know that the "The Stairway" is the ultimate killing weapon representing the "Promised Child"!
But now it has been completely destroyed because of Luo Mio.
After the black hole sucked the "The Stairway" into it, the powerful suction stopped.
"!"
Rita Sosberry's instincts told her to get out of there quickly!
The black hole began to shrink in the very next second!
It felt like someone was using brute force to squeeze it into a ball, one stroke at a time.
Rita Sosberry's eyes flickered for a moment, then she used all her strength to move away from the black hole.
"Not good!"
The black hole in the sky, which had shrunk to the size of a basketball, finally stopped shrinking.
The next second.
"Click!"
A crisp cracking sound was heard from the surface of the black hole.
Then—
"----------boom!"
The massive explosion engulfed the entire surrounding area, and the powerful shockwave snapped trees in the distance. The intense light from the explosion blinded onlookers.
When their vision returned, the scene before them left them speechless.
A huge, semi-circular pit appeared before their eyes, but no matter what position they viewed it from, they could not see any color. It was like a void abyss, and even the constantly surging seawater could not see the bottom.
Rita Sosberry, who had escaped with all her might, turned around and looked at the spot where the explosion had just occurred.
"Report, I have escaped the blast radius."
But there was no sound coming from the headset.
"Master?"
Rita Sosberry frowned slightly.
"Professor Rand?"
No matter how she called out, no sound came through the earpiece.
"..."
Rita Sosberry immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"Um?!"
Rita Sosberry quickly looked behind her.
Then, a very unexpected person appeared before her.
Her gray hair was tied into a braid, and her emerald eyes looked at her with a helpless expression.
What shocked Rita Sosberry even more was the identical face.
"I'm sorry, child."
A very clear and pleasant female voice rang out.
The next second, her consciousness faded into darkness. Before losing consciousness, the last thing she saw was a gray-haired woman dressed in what looked like ancient Chinese clothing speaking to a humanoid creature floating in mid-air beside her, resembling a small doll.
"The little guy's other sisters are also ready."
"I told you to go easy on me."
"..."
Meanwhile, Ann Rand also learned that Rita Sosberry had met with misfortune.
——
On the Heavenly Throne, Luo Mio looked at the world, and platinum cross patterns began to appear in her golden eyes.
A voice like the Voice of Heaven appeared in the minds of people all over the world.
"It's over"
"Smack!"
A crisp snap of fingers rang out across the world.
Then, a dazzling golden light shone on every part of the world.
At that moment, the golden cross shone with an intense light.
"————"
Chapter 78: The End
As Luo Mio's words rang out, people all over the world raised their heads and looked up at the sky.
Rentaro raised his head, his gaze fixed on the even more brilliant Golden radiance in the sky.
The next instant, his consciousness faded and he collapsed to the ground.
When he woke up again, his surroundings had completely changed.
The golden light in the sky had dissipated, and the night sky had returned to the pitch black of early morning.
Even the Heavenly Throne in the sky has disappeared.
Rentaro glanced at the time on his wrist.
Only one hour had passed.
Rentaro looked around at the countless dilapidated and empty tents, a scene resembling people fleeing in panic as if they had encountered a disaster.
But what terrified Rentaro was that there was no one in sight, not even a corpse, blood, or hair, and not even Gastrea.
Looking at the scene around him, Rentaro was startled and remembered two people who were very important to him.
"Enju! Miss Kisaragi!"
Thinking of the two figures, Rentaro frantically ran through the District 39, searching for Enju and Tendo Kisara.
But when he ran out of District 39, the scene before him plunged him into despair.
The cracked earth revealed a crimson lava abyss, and the city was deserted, like a dead city.
Then, as if he had just remembered something, Rentaro quickly ran towards the direction of the "Holy Residence" in the First Area.
But when he arrived at the underground Strategy Meeting Room beneath the "Holy Residence".
There was still no one there, only the ever-operating machinery and the fluorescent main screen.
Rentaro quickly stepped forward to take control, and fortunately, the reconnaissance satellite was not affected by the Golden radiance.
Rentaro then quickly typed on the fluorescent keyboard to bring up the surveillance footage from the reconnaissance satellite.
The next second, his eyes slowly widened.
The golden-red cross is deeply imprinted on the earth, and its center is even more golden-red, like the molten lava of hell.
The earth around it cracked open, and deep red magma seemed to flow out from it.
Upon seeing this, Rentaro couldn't help but take several steps back, his eyes revealing a deep sense of despair.
"This doesn't look like you at all, Rentaro."
Luo Mio's voice rang out behind him at that moment.
Upon hearing the sound, Rentaro instantly turned his head to look, and the instant he saw Luo Mio, he was stunned.
"Tendo Style Combat Art Type 1, Number 5"—
Rentaro charged towards Luo Mio with all his might in an instant.
"—Tiger 'Tiger Pounces on Heaven!"
Rentaro rushed up to Luo Mio and threw a lightning-fast punch at him.
However, for Luo Mio, it was an attack that was as slow as it could possibly be.
Luo Mio lightly stepped back, easily dodging Rentaro's attack.
Then, Luo Mio quickly turned around and swung her leg across Rentaro.
"Li Style Phoenix Dive Kick"!
Just as Rentaro withdrew his arm, he saw a leg sweeping across from him.
"Ugh!"
Rentaro was instantly swept away by Luo Mio's kick and slammed heavily onto the main screen.
"Anger has made you lose your composure," Luo Mio said calmly, looking at Rentaro.
"Why..."
Rentaro clutched his stomach and stood up awkwardly, his eyes filled with anger as he glared at Luo Mio.
"Why did you have to involve Enju, Miss Kisaragi, and the others...!"
Luo Mio did not answer him, but looked at him calmly.
Seeing the look in Luo Mio's eyes, Rentaro also gritted his teeth tightly.
"Tendo Style Combat Art Type 1, Number 8"—
Rentaro charged toward Luo Mio, unleashing all his strength in Luo Mio direct attack.
"—Fireworks Flame Fan!"
Seeing this, Luo Mio let out a soft breath, and then suddenly slammed her left hand towards Rentaro.
"Li Shi·Falcon"!
In the instant of the collision, Rentaro's Varanium Right Arm Prosthetic was shattered by Luo Mio's brute force punch.
"!"
Then came the prosthetic arm, but it had pain receptors just like a normal arm.
Luo Mio's attack was equivalent to crippling his right hand.
Rentaro clutched his cracked, Varanium Right Arm Prosthetic, biting his lip tightly. The intense pain caused cold sweat to pour from his Rentaro.
Seeing Rentaro's appearance, Luo Mio also sighed softly.
Then she turned around and opened a Void Fissures, glancing slightly at Rentaro.
"If you want to know, come along."
