Chapter 74: Chapter74-Calamity Descends

Southern Region of the Human Race

Every conceivable means of transportation was being pushed to its limits. The evacuation effort was in full swing, striving to relocate as many humans as possible from the Southern Frontier.

Massive airships blotted out the skies, rumbling trains thundered across tracks, and highways were flooded with beast-mounted riders and steam-powered vehicles.

It looked less like organized retreat and more like a great exodus.

The entire southern region had become a portrait of desperation.

But behind them—the very land itself was collapsing.

Terrifying waves of energy surged across the landscape. The towns and villages they had once called home were being swallowed by the earth.

A few minutes later, the terrifying energy finally began to dissipate.

People who had fled finally dared to look back—and what they saw left them speechless.

The once-vast, fertile plains had vanished. In their place now lay a colossal abyss, a gaping wound in the earth with no visible bottom.

It was a scene out of nightmares.

Yet as horrifying as it was, the surviving refugees let out sighs of relief.

They had lived.

If they had hesitated even a moment longer, they would’ve been consumed by the abyss.

And the only reason they were alive... was because of His Majesty, the Human Emperor.

"Praise His Majesty the Human Emperor! He saved us!"

"I told you, we must follow his orders without question!"

"He saw it coming—just in time!"

High above, the Human Emperor hovered in the sky, his robes rustling in the wind. His gaze remained locked on the devastated South, and an expression of utter shock overtook his face.

He stood there, suspended and silent.

What... just happened?

That enormous energy wave—what in the world had caused it?

Even the mightiest God Rank Skills wouldn’t produce something of this magnitude.

Had that level of devastation struck directly in the heart of human territory, even he, the Human Emperor, would’ve been powerless to stop it.

But this wasn’t the time to be frozen in thought.

First priority: determine what exactly had occurred inside the Terra Fortress.

And in that instant, one name surged to the forefront of his mind—

Daniel.

Just then, his communicator buzzed. His secretary’s voice reported the damage assessment.

Despite the early warning and mass evacuation, nearly one-third of the Southern Region’s population had perished in the disaster.

Still, it could’ve been so much worse.

Had Daniel not sent the warning ahead of time... the remaining two-thirds would’ve died as well.

The Emperor swallowed hard, his eyes scanning the massive crater.

Daniel... what kind of revelation did you receive from the gods?

Regardless of the answer, there was only one course of action: he had to meet Daniel—immediately.

He opened a secure channel and contacted the royal prophet.

"Prophet, analyzing this calamity is now your top priority. Report back with any developments."

"I’m going to Castle Mington. I must speak with Daniel in person."

Without another word, he issued a new royal bulletin through the communicator:

[Imperial Directive to All Citizens]

All humans evacuated from the Southern Region must immediately migrate northward.Cities in the North must prepare to accommodate incoming refugees.Do not thank me—thank Daniel.

And with that final declaration, the Human Emperor vanished into the sky.

But truthfully, the Emperor had his own motives for publicly crediting Daniel.

The Millennial Apocalypse was only beginning.

Even someone as powerful as the Human Emperor felt a distinct sense of powerlessness in the face of what was coming.

And it had been Daniel who sounded the alarm first.

That alone proved Daniel possessed more than just talent—he had foresight. A connection. Possibly even a god behind him.

Now more than ever, the Emperor needed to tie Daniel—and whoever stood behind him—to the fate of the human race.

If possible, he would bind him to the royal court, to the Empire’s destiny.

Everything else could wait.

The bulletin swept across the human world like wildfire.

Shock gripped the people.

"How is this possible?! Lord Daniel only awakened recently! How could he predict the Apocalypse?"

"He must’ve received some kind of secret intelligence. His strength alone has already surpassed anything we’ve seen!"

"Now it makes sense why the Emperor wanted to grant him a royal title. With intel like this? He deserves a crown."

"Can someone explain what happened to the Terra Fortress?"

"I’m a refugee from the South. I swear on my life—the scene was beyond imagination!"

"A massive crater... earthquakes that split the land... my home, everything I owned—it’s all buried underground!"

"Thank you, Lord Daniel. You saved us all!"

In that moment, Daniel’s name was etched into the hearts of every survivor from the Southern Region.

They all knew, with chilling clarity: without Daniel’s warning, none of them would still be alive.

But after the panic and relief came a second wave—curiosity and dread.

What exactly had happened inside Terra Fortress?

The gnomes, after all, weren’t pushovers. While not as physically strong as other races, their mastery of gnome technology had elevated them to one of the top ten races in the world.

They had stood on equal footing with humanity—some believed they even held the upper hand.

But now?

Their greatest city. Their top leaders.

Gone.

Erased in an instant.

If that level of destruction had landed in a human capital instead... the entire species might’ve been wiped out.

The thought sent shivers down every spine.

Humans were a strange race—they were always drawn to strength. To the powerful. To those who knew more than others.

And Daniel, who had predicted the Apocalypse, had now become their beacon.

"Lord Daniel saved my life. I swear my loyalty to him from now on!"

"Wherever Lord Daniel establishes his kingdom, I will follow him!"

"Please, Lord Daniel, accept your people—we are yours!"

Meanwhile, outside Castle Mington...

Daniel had just finished clearing his 35th underground labyrinth.

But even after so many runs, the total loot he’d accumulated didn’t even compare to a single Challenger’s Labyrinth.

That was the price of efficiency over reward.

Still, from a time-management perspective, he was doing just fine.

In a little over ten minutes, he had cleared thirty-something dungeons and looted hundreds of treasure chests.

It wasn’t the fastest pace in the world—but it was respectable.

And just as he prepared to push through the rest of the Star Upgrade Quest – Phase II, his communicator chimed.

Two new messages.

Human Emperor:

"Daniel, you must know by now that I have many questions for you."

"I will arrive at Castle Mington shortly. I hope we can speak face to face."

The second message was from Manager Harry of the Multiracial Commerce League:

"Lord Daniel... my king, the item you requested—Griffin’s Eye—has been secured ahead of schedule."

"Please visit the Multiracial Commerce League at your earliest convenience."

"We look forward to your esteemed presence."

Daniel lowered the communicator, a subtle light flashing in his eyes.

The world was changing.

And everyone... was beginning to orbit around him.
