NOVEL NEXT Chapter 337: Apocalypse. _2
```
At this time, everyone was quietly adjusting their state, striving to bring themselves to the peak condition.
In the eyes of all those standing at the peak, the Ultimate Beings, there was a rampant killing intent and a will to fight!
Because deep down, their instincts could feel a bloodbath that would sweep across all Species was about to unfold!
Kill!
All the mightiest Species harbored an indomitable faith and will in their hearts!
Each one was convinced that even if it meant slaughtering thousands, wading through a Blood Sea, the last one standing, stepping over countless corpses to reach the peak, would still be them!
At this time, the whole world was submerged in silence and a repressive atmosphere, as three to four dozen hours trickled away while all Species waited.
Soon, it reached the hundred-day countdown announced by the Theological Alliance, but there was still no change between heaven and earth!
This did not cause any significant uproar among the Species with the Ultimate Beings.
However, it did cause a great reaction within human society, where many wondered if the Theological Alliance had made a mistake?
The leaders of the Six Great Powers of human society also made calls to the Science Alliance for inquiries.
But the news they received was that the mysterious force between heaven and earth had become so thin in the previous period that it was undetectable.
To date, it had been over a month since it was last detected.
This caused the Six Great Powers to be at a loss as well about what to do next?
If the prophesied Doomsday Era did not truly exist, then their continued state of peak combat readiness would be too costly!
Because whether it was food consumed by the Powers, Pure Blood Food, resources to operate the Underground Great Wall and the Strongest Fortress, these were all nearly beyond measure!
If there were no such thing as the Doomsday Era, it would be better to use these resources to conquer the Mutated Creatures!
In the end, it was the higher-ups of the Science Alliance who determined the course of action, to wait and see the moves of the Theological Alliance!
The hundred-day deadline was, after all, set by the Theological Alliance!
If it was truly a deception, then they were curious to see what the Theological Alliance was planning to achieve with such a grandiose scam?
Since the so-called Doomsday Era had not arrived past the hundred-day proclamation,
The previously tense and electric atmosphere of the world unexpectedly relaxed quite a bit.
Then, a day quietly passed by without any incidents occurring!
Apart from the Ultimate Clans, who had not made any moves,
Smaller clans that had only heard rumors within human society quietly began to stir.
Every Exotic Beast was endowed with intelligence not inferior to that of humans; in many aspects, the wisdom of those who had transformed into New Species was far superior.
For them to obtain information from human societal structures was quite normal.
However, as the Doomsday speculations propagated by human society showed no signs of fruition thus far, many wild and untamed smaller clans could no longer hold back their impatience.
After all, they were the ones struggling to survive in this chaotic world.
They had to hunt and combat constantly, just to secure enough prey to live on.
Small clans and those on the bottom strata were always the ones to face the hardest existence.
Another day quickly passed, still peaceful and without any anomalies happening in the world.
More and more clans started to become active outside.
Online skepticism regarding the truth of the Theological Alliance's proclaimed Doomsday Era also proliferated.
Despite the growing voices of doubt, none of the human Powers dared to gamble on the possibility that the Doomsday Era might not occur.
Amidst these doubts, time continued to flow.
Finally, on the fifth day, some smaller civilian Powers lacking in preparation and resources, unable to bear the pain of continued embargo, began stepping out of the safe zones.
On the seventh day, the number of small Powers venturing out increased!
With no control from Official Powers, these small Powers began staking claims on the abandoned urban lands!
Many major institutional facilities were taken over, and with ambitions soaring, some smaller Powers even seized major scientific research institutions and military facilities on the surface, beginning to work with their internal scientists to create extremely lethal Technology Weapons!
```
Because there was still a glimmer of hope at the beginning, hearts could not bear to destroy everything that had been painstakingly built,
scientific research institutions and military facilities were not completely abandoned, and now they had become an easy pick for the smaller civilian powers.
By the tenth day, civilian powers could hardly contain themselves!
Especially seeing the first group to venture out staking claims and fattening up overnight, envy reached extreme levels.
The civilian powers swarmed out in droves, long having discarded the Theological Alliance's so-called Doomsday Era propaganda.
Even the many small powers that originally belonged to the Theological Alliance, having received no official response, emerged one after another, scrambling for everything on the surface!
This made all of humanity believe that the so-called Doomsday Era was nothing but an empty scam.
Only the Six Great Official Powers and the Science Alliance were still holding back with the last shred of rationality, watching the Theological Alliance's movements closely!
If the Theological Alliance didn't make a move, then they wouldn't either!
As for the near-rebellious frenzy and land-grabbing by the civilian powers, they turned a blind eye!
And the Monstrous Tribes, each with their Ultimate Beings, remained silent as well,
to them, the hunting and bloody battles of the lesser tribes were ostensibly nonexistent!
Because only they could sense that the Mysterious Force between heaven and earth had vanished!
Gone without a trace!
And it had been gone for a full ten days!
In this atmosphere, another three days passed,
and just as the Six Great Powers and the Science Alliance could barely suppress the differing voices within, and each Monstrous Tribe began to rely on bloody slaughter to stabilize the restless wild nature of their members,
just when every Species thought the Doomsday Era was a joke,
an earth-shattering anomaly occurred that nobody could have anticipated!
On this day, when all Species were caught off guard,
nine Apocalyptic Divine Thunders, massive like thousand-mile-long dragons, descended from the heavens!
Even the vast black Fluorescence that symbolized the will of the Earth was pierced through, and in an instant, the whole planet shook!
It was as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had split open!
Then came countless meteors, carrying the breath of destruction, falling from the sky!
They pierced through the vast black Fluorescence representing the Earth's will like they were piercing paper, leaving nothing but shocking holes.
The indescribable grand whispering of the universe sounded like it was wailing in pain.
The beautiful rivers and mountains, the colorful cityscapes, the lush green forests and hills, all of it vanished into thin air.
In the vast world, every good thing was about to meet its destruction!
Fractures ripped across the ground, as endless colorful lights churned,
the once urban societies, their skyscrapers and various historic sites, started to crumble to pieces!
This was a cataclysm beyond description, as if it was specifically meant to destroy all life on Earth!
Everything seemed to be moving towards the end, and all beings were about to be annihilated!
A suffocating heaviness filled the space between heaven and earth, as if an indifferent hand of destruction was crushing the will of the Earth, grinding all life it had fostered into dust.
The civilian powers that had been staking claims and secretly cursing the official powers as cowards and fools were now crying out in terror, fleeing for their lives!
But there was nowhere on this vast land where one could hide from this unprecedented cataclysm!
Even the less sturdy underground facilities could not withstand the meteoric downpour from above!
In an instant, countless lives were extinguished, and many races perished!
In any case, across the fields of view, beings were dying in droves, and it seemed as if the whole universe was weeping for them!
The Apocalypse!
The prophesied apocalypse of the Theological Alliance arrived at this moment with a might that crushed everything in its path!
