After the Deathbirth Star broke apart and fell, the Death Plague Sea immediately plunged into pitch-black darkness.
Then a superstorm laden with vast quantities of ice and snow debris spread rapidly outward from the impact site, freezing everything in its path and forming vast ice fields.
In just over ten seconds, the impact zone completed its transition from midsummer to deep winter. The temperature fell from several dozen degrees above zero to more than ten below, and it was still dropping. The closer to the center, the colder it became.
A few nearby Deathbirth Society bases sealed their gates in time, keeping the extreme cold storm from raging through their interiors.
But strangely... unrest broke out first inside the seemingly safe bases.
"I... what's happening to my body?"
Hard, bony horns kept sprouting from the body of a Deathbirth Society member wearing a protective suit, frightening the members around him so much that none dared approach.
"It's a new type of Death Plague! Quick! Burn him to death!"
Someone reacted immediately, smashing the glass of an emergency weapons cabinet and taking out the flamethrower inside to blast the man with fire.
But after only a few seconds, his arms suddenly fell to the floor along with the flamethrower, shattering into neat little squares the instant they touched the ground.
"Wh... what is this?"
No one gave him an explanation.
Immediately afterward, with terror all over his face, he followed his arms and broke apart into cubes that scattered across the floor.
This was actually another type of Death Plague. He was its first infected victim, and this type could even infect nonliving matter.
Before long, this relatively intact Deathbirth Society base disintegrated into small, identically sized cubes, which the storm blew away without a trace...
