Chapter 287: Chapter 238 Annihilation_4
The intensity of the light bands was very high, yet with such a vast scope, even capable of triggering earthquakes through the forceful extraction, there were still a great number of light bands that shattered, with deafening crackling sounds occurring one after another.
Zheng Yichen looked up at the sky, seeing a multitude of light bands covering the area he was in.
The taut light bands seemed to be binding something beneath the ground, but because there was not enough time, the intensity was insufficient, the light bands could not pull it out with the extraction of the Sky Pillar, only altering the terrain, turning the plain where Zheng Yichen stood into a plateau.
"What, what’s happening?" The man in the coat who Zheng Yichen had encountered in the city exhibited a look of terror, yet his hands were tightly gripping the binoculars he held.
He saw the Sky Pillar being extracted.
Dozens, even hundreds of kilometers of light bands were being pulled from the ground, the longer they were, the thicker they appeared, but as the Sky Pillar was extracted, those light bands could not withstand the force of the pull and snapped one by one, with those that broke dispersing into fragments of light before reaching the ground.
The earthquake triggered by the extraction of the Sky Pillar even spread to where he was, making it hard for the man in the coat to maintain his footing. Some huge light bands were torn from beneath his city, splitting it in two. Inexplicably, he thought of the young man on the motorcycle he’d encountered some time ago...
He took a couple of steps back and then fell to the ground, partly due to the earthquake and partly because he had stepped on ice.
"Frozen??" Falling didn’t hurt him since he was dressed warmly, but he was more surprised by the layer of ice on the ground.
The environment was still very cold, but the chill seemed to have returned to normal, unlike before when natural phenomena were disrupted. Despite temperatures that could freeze a person to death, water wouldn’t freeze at these low temperatures, although ice in some cold storages did exist.
Yet, it was precisely this contradiction that was difficult to understand.
In the same low temperatures, why wouldn’t exposed liquids freeze?
But now, with the extraction of the Sky Pillar, these disrupted natural details began to recover.
The man in the coat tore off his gloves, touched the ice that had caused him to fall and muttered, "This really is normal ice..."
He stood back up, looked into the distance. Other people who had been hiding and surviving in the city also gradually ran out, looking at the rising Sky Pillar. The man in the coat felt somewhat overheated, thinking that perhaps he had dressed too warmly.
"It broke?" He watched as the Sky Pillar, which had pulled up a large number of light bands, reached a certain height; then, it appeared the main part couldn’t bear the pressure, and the tail began to wobble.
A deafening boom followed, as the tail of the Sky Pillar that had extracted a large number of light bands completely broke off. With the drawing force of the light bands from the ground gone, the broken part of the Sky Pillar quickly retracted back into the clouds, and the thick, gloomy clouds swiftly dispersed.
The man in the coat saw the huge light bands that had crossed his city disintegrate into fragments before they reached the ground.
Some fragments even drifted over to where he was; he caught one, like a melting snowflake, felt the coolness, but before he could examine it closely, the fragment was gone.
He took off his heavy coat, which now felt burdensome. He had worn it to prevent himself from freezing to death, but now, sweating under the sunlight, he felt the cold was still there, but he no longer needed such thick clothing to protect himself.
"Has the world been saved...?"
Crack—
A sinister-looking giant saber showed a fine crack; with the influence of Asura Battle Intent gone, the strength of the weapon plummeted, and with the burden of Demonic Abyss Seven Kills, the weakened weapon rapidly disintegrated.
At the same time, the extracted Sky Pillar also fractured. The tail end of the Sky Pillar was almost cleaved by Zheng Yichen; its withdrawal further widened those cracks, and the part that the Sky Pillar attempted to forcibly pull away ended up being left behind. With the influence of the Sky Pillar gone, all the light bands began to fade.
Watching the fragments of light falling from the sky, Zheng Yichen’s indifferent expression gradually returned.
"..." Feeling the tremors of the earth, Zheng Yichen didn’t have time to reflect on that state when demonic thoughts had invaded his mind, riding away quickly on the motorcycle powered by the AI Lilith that had driven up to him, escaping the area fraught with countless fragments of light.
In the city, now devoid of light bands, the forcibly elevated plain began a new round of collapse.
On the route of escape, Zheng Yichen saw the remains of many vehicles and bodies, all buried by the shaking ground caused by the collapse.
"Goodbye, everyone."
The majority of those who died here had fallen in their attempts to counter the enemies that came from the direction of the Sky Pillar; even those who risked their lives to deploy nuclear bombs had done so facing mortal danger.
"—Report, the Sky Pillar is confirmed to have disappeared, request to return."
"Request granted."
A fighter jet turned around and flew away from the region where the Sky Pillar had been.
