Hope's terrified voice made Hansent freeze in place.
The water had risen all the way here?
Was he kidding?
Although City One had been built near the water, it was still over a hundred kilometers from the nearest body of water.
With hills of various heights blocking the view along the way, how could the camera possibly capture footage of the water over there?
Filled with confusion, Hansent instinctively turned toward the small Holographic Projection in front of Hope.
It was a small Holographic Image projected by Hope's Wristwatch, and its image quality and viewing experience naturally fell short of the enormous Holographic Image in the square.
With the wind and torrential rain interfering as well, the small Holographic Image was extremely blurry.
Even so, Hansent immediately recognized the location in the footage.

"...Gasp!!!"
Once he had confirmation, Hansent drew a sharp breath!
How had the A3 Region ended up like this?!
"Wasn't that a hilly area?" Hansent stared at the footage, dumbfounded, and muttered, "How did it turn into... a lake?!"

Driven by Dawn Star's distinctive storms, towering waves rose across the ocean, one after another!
Propelled by the fierce winds, those waves slammed into the islands protruding above the water.
The islands, composed mostly of weathered rock,
