Arknights, but Raising Terra Chapter 6

"Sea Creature 7: The Divine Lord doesn't seem to be paying attention to us..."

"Sea Creature 8: Could it be that the Divine Lord doesn't like Little Flower's appearance?"

"Sea Creature 9: Then what should we evolve into for the Divine Lord to take us to eat?"

Chen Ran probably never imagined that he had simply ignored them, and the group of Sea Creatures started wondering if they should evolve again on their own.

... ... ...

... ...

In this worldline where the Sea Creatures brought about the end of the world, they not only crushed Terra and humanity, but even crushed Originium itself.

This was an absolutely unreasonable level of power, so after much thought, the only possible explanation was that they had "activated."

However, the activated Sea Creature swarm did not bring about the doom of Terra. On the contrary, after humanity and Originium had completely disappeared, this land entered a period of great prosperity with vibrant life and flourishing development.

This was because the Sea Creature swarm's goal was exceptionally clear—to only target humans.

As a result, the entire land was now covered in vegetation, with all plants growing with vigorous vitality.

Animals appeared in packs and flocks in the wilderness and the sky, freely enjoying the inexhaustible delicacies of the land.

Even the slumbering behemoths had awakened one by one. Looking at the drastically different environment before them, their minds were filled with confusion: "I only slept for a while, where did they bring me? Is this still Terra?"

And on this land, there was a city built within the mountains with high walls, surviving precariously by relying on the technology left behind by the ancient civilization—humanity's last bastion.

Without nations, without classes, the remaining humans lived crammed together here.

After the Sea Creatures ascended, these surviving humans finally had the opportunity to open the bunker doors and attempt to explore and expand outwards.

And today—

Something was a little different.

Kal'tsit, who was communicating with medical operators and was responsible for the logistics and medical tasks of other organizations, looked up at the sky more than once today.

Ever since the Starship Pods were torn apart by the Sea Creature swarm as easily as tearing a piece of paper, Terra no longer had a false sky.

But precisely because of this, the positions of the various planets in the starry sky should have been fixed... No, that might be phrased incorrectly, but at least they shouldn't have deviated by such a large distance within a single day.

What had happened in the starry sky?

Until Kal'tsit frowned again and looked down at her documents—

"Ka-, Doctor Kal'tsit?! Doctor Kal'tsit! The sky, the sky!"

An unusually chaotic sound of panic erupted from all around.

Amidst the chaos, Kal'tsit immediately looked up at the sky again, and then she saw a planet, visibly approaching Terra.

"Is the moon falling?"

"It's going to crash!"

"Help, save us!"

Amidst the clamor, the planet crashing towards Terra blinked in front of everyone.

And in that instant, the previously noisy crowd fell into dead silence.

Because even the slowest person would have realized by now—

That was not a planet at all, nor was it the moon, but an eye.

009. The plan to destroy humanity was carried out by that person!

An inexpressible fear began from the base of their spine and spread all the way to the roots of their tails—

Simply put, they were spooked.

Because even Kal'tsit, who considered herself "all-knowing," was completely unable to comprehend such an existence at this moment.

If there was a massive spaceship docked outside the starry sky, Kal'tsit wouldn't find it strange, because the previous civilization could already travel between stars.

But that was an eye.

No, it should be an eyeball, an eyeball the size of an entire planet.

That eyeball was so enormous that it made one wonder, if an eyeball was like this... then how large would the owner of this eyeball be?

A giant playing with a planet like a marble?

This scale had already exceeded the limits of their imagination; they couldn't even comprehend such numbers.

Megalophobia?

No, this was God's arrival.

The existing scientific worldview became a joke at that moment, and religious fervor reached its peak—

But the Sarkaz race had been wiped out, killed by the Sea Creatures.

So all that was left for these surviving humans was the despair and fear that came with the collapse of their worldview.

Cries, wails, madness—not a few people's sanity dropped to zero, and the noisy sounds were incessant.

But Kal'tsit only found them noisy.

Having witnessed great storms, Kal'tsit was the first to regain her composure. She wanted to calm down and direct others to provide comfort.

However, her short tail, hidden beneath her skirt and bristling with agitation until it was a fluffy ball, wouldn't obey her.

And—

Kal'tsit keenly noticed that the enormous eyeball, as large as a planet, was surveying the continent of Terra as if observing and patrolling.

It... no, He was looking for something?

The answer was, Chen Ran was looking for those survivors.

There was no helping it. Even when observing an ecological bottle, one had to look left and right, turn over the moss, and check if any small animals were hiding inside. It was even more so when searching for people on a planet.

Compared to a planet, the mountains were too small, and compared to the mountains, humans were even smaller.

They weren't even sesame seeds; they required a microscope.

Chen Ran felt his eyes going blurry.

"By the way, can I keep zooming this planet model in and out? Like, zoom in until I can enter this planet model myself?"

In other words, just like he had placed that Sea Creature into the newly formed planet model, could he also place himself inside?

Chen Ran seemed to be muttering to himself, but in reality, he was deliberately speaking to the semi-transparent pop-up window.

As expected, in the blink of an eye, the semi-transparent pop-up window flickered before Chen Ran's eyes:

"To give these ignorant and backward natives a little shock of a deity's manifestation, you have sent a visit request to the planet Terra."

"Now, let's hear Terra's reply:"

"Terra: Don't come over here!!!"

"Terra: If you come over, I'll die for you to see!"

"Terra: I'm dying right now!"

Chen Ran: "..."

Fine.

Chen Ran hadn't actually expected it to work. Because as he continued to try zooming the planet model in and out, he suddenly remembered a very important question—

Was the zooming in and out of this planet model actually magnified in a physical sense, or was it just granting him clairvoyance, or a buff like a human microscope?

Because if the Earth were shrunk to a marble with a diameter of 1 cm, a human would only be about 1.3 nanometers.

If, as before, Heart of the Corrupted Skadi was enlarged from 1.3 nanometers to 10 centimeters... then to what extent would this planet model need to be magnified?

"What if I make a mud figure and give it life, letting it help me find those surviving humans?"

Chen Ran gave up on physically entering the world and instead used a more cunning question.

He wanted to verify one thing.

"You have developed a slight doubt about your own creativity."

"The Terra planet, which you personally crafted and imbued with life, is cowering in a corner."

"The newly formed planet, which you discarded like trash, is lying in the trash can, wailing."

"Yes, you can."

"Don't ask, just accept it as the might of a deity."

I have a feeling this pop-up window isn't very reliable.

However, having received a definite answer, Chen Ran nodded with satisfaction and reached out his hand towards the planet model again.

Amidst the barrage of pop-up windows saying "Terra: Don't come over here!!!" and "Terra: You're... you're coming in!", Chen Ran finally succeeded in putting his hand into the planet model.

He wanted to test a hypothesis, so he used this planet model to test the waters. If it succeeded, then later, he wouldn't have to bother finding small hamster animals. He could directly craft a few giant stone soldiers to give that Sea Creature a bit more of a challenge.

So Chen Ran chose a relatively high peak and squeezed it gently. It wasn't clear if the mountain body was too brittle or if his grip was too strong, but the entire peak snapped.

Chen Ran froze for a moment, then simply pushed the entire peak over. He then scooped up some water from a nearby lake and began to work the mud.

Chen Ran, after all, was capable of crafting planet models by hand. Crafting a mud figure was naturally within his grasp... probably.

In any case, after roughly shaping it into a form, Chen Ran clapped his hands with satisfaction and tentatively issued a command: "Go find those surviving humans."

... ... ...

... ...

A god had descended.

In the eyes of Kal'tsit and the other survivors, the immeasurably large eyeball surveyed them for a long time before abruptly departing.

But before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a palm that could envelop the entire planet descended, covering everything.

The entire sky was obscured, the sun vanished at that moment, and the land plunged into darkness as if it were eternal night.

The giant palm, as if in pity, slowly shrank until it broke through the atmosphere, tore through the sky, and then with a single strike, leveled thousands of kilometers of land in an instant.

The land collapsed, volcanoes erupted, and the waves stirred by the ocean roared to life. Violent tremors tore through the mountains, Mountains that were once indestructible became soft like sand before that palm, and the largest freshwater lake was easily scooped up like dewdrops on morning leaves.

All of it transformed into nutrients, and under the casual kneading of that giant palm, a behemoth that blotted out the sky was born from the hands of a god.

The behemoth's features constantly melted and reformed due to the flowing mud and sand, its body, piled up like rotten flesh, wantonly crushed the earth.

The specks of mud casually flicked from that giant palm all transformed into one small beast after another, impossible to describe.

They were migrating, they were searching.

Until—

"Mom! Mommy! Help me!!!"

"It's chasing me! It's still chasing me!"

"Save me! Save me!!!"

A lone surviving human happened to be unlucky enough to fall within the sight of those behemoths.

And so, all the surviving humans heard, within the hoarse, obscure, and incomprehensible language of the behemoth, several words clearly emerged:

"■Looking■■for■■survivors■■humans."

PS1: As you might have guessed, I've been testing the censors these past few chapters, and as expected, a few chapters were flagged. Lol. 11

010. After Sanity Dropped to Zero, the First Religion Was Born After the Apocalypse Line

Having just experienced the Sea Creatures' apocalypse, the remaining survivors were still trembling with fear, hiding like hamsters in their final stronghold. They finally thought they had weathered the storm of the Sea Creatures, and cautiously opened the bunker doors to peek outside.
