Chapter 1595: Chapter 285: The World-Colliding Leviathan
July 7th, at seven in the morning.
At this time, it was only early morning, the scorching sun had not yet risen, it was the most comfortable moment of the day.
And at that moment, as those dim yellow runes appeared, the ground, buildings, and stone tablets began to tremble.
Buildings older than human history buzzed and shook, statues that had existed for hundreds, even thousands of years roared and vibrated.
It felt like an earthquake.
Or rather, it was an earthquake—
"—As above, so below; thus completes the Miracle of Taiyi!"
Ayimar Nur raised the ritual staff in his hand and struck the surface of the lake again.
The Holy Lake did not splash water but instead burst out a denser white mist.
And the Benevolent Lords chanted within the white mist, under the Blessing and protection of the Gemini Mirror, swiftly initiated the Ring of Ouroboros ritual: "All things are from Taiyi, created by division from Taiyi!"
Summoning Miracle from "Taiyi".
A myth of the world rebooted by the God of "All Things and Everything"!
"The Sun is the father, the moon is the mother, nurtured by the wind, cared for by the earth."
The nurturing "wind" was the white mist enveloping them; the caring "earth" was the Holy Lake itself.
Just like The Sun and the moon were once one, the wind and earth too are Gaia—
All the water shook violently, occasionally making a booming sound and dramatically splashing up an uneasy spring. It was as if something was exploding deep underwater.
People’s exclamations and screams rang out sporadically throughout Parthia.
They were utterly unaware of what was happening or what they should do. Some tried to flee but found all pathways blocked; they weren’t even allowed to return home, and attempting to pass through intersections would result in aggression. Some attempted to erase the runes, but were instantly killed on the spot by the waiting Slave Knights and Water Crow Guards.
They had nowhere to go, forced to cower under something or stand dazed in the streets.
—Of course, they had no place to go.
Because they were the living sacrifices Ayimar Nur had prepared in advance.
The pot was hot, the oil had been poured in, could the prepared dishes grow wings and fly away?
"—Ascending from the earth to the heavens, and descending from heaven again, gaining the powers of above and below!"
The Benevolent Lords bathed in the white mist, and the secret words to open the Ring of Ouroboros were nearing completion.
And Ayimar Nur merely closed his eyes slightly, able to sense immense power gathering in his hand—
Those three hundred thirty-three runes appeared, interlinking and forming the image of a tentacled monster.
The early morning sky suddenly changed, protruding and bulging, and became completely transparent. It was like transforming into a fish-eye perspective.
The originally azure sky twisted and melted at an astonishing speed. Within two breaths, it became an eerie, almost pure black deep blue.
It was as if a water droplet was bulging out—it was like a droplet about to overflow, but adhered in mid-air due to surface tension.
It was also as if the whole world had turned into a small glass sphere, with deep seas surrounding its outside. The glass sphere helplessly sank deeper into the sea.
And above the sky.
Suddenly, an unimaginably huge eye opened from the transparent outer wall of the sky and emerged!
People screamed again—this time they truly should scream. Even the bravest warrior would roar and vent their inner fear and panic at this scene,
The size of that eyeball practically covered the sky.
From the center of Holy Spring City, directly above the fourth Ring, was the center of that eyeball... And if one stood at the edge of Holy Spring City, they wouldn’t even escape half the radius of that eyeball.
This was the largest city in Parthia!
And if this size was just the eye of a monster...
Then how massive would the body of this damned monster be?
Being gazed at by that eye alone, endless fear and despair would emerge in one’s heart.
People’s consciousness shattered momentarily—like being in extreme panic and helplessness, even speech ability would be deprived.
All who saw that giant eye instantly lost their ability to speak or act. They could only gesture and speak incoherently, incredibly anxious, but unable to command their limbs and tongues.
—Like waking up confused, only to find oneself standing in the middle of the road, with a massive truck hurtling toward them, accompanied by piercing horn sounds shaking the ground.
In that instant, even legs couldn’t move.
The next moment.
The giant eye suddenly shifted and disappeared. But as soon as that intimidating gaze was lifted, before people could even breathe a sigh of relief... an intense feeling of descent instantly appeared!
It was an impact!
Though no sound was heard, nor any anomaly seen... there was no doubt, it was the Great Abyss colliding with this world!
This intense tremor and descent was not merely covering the land of Parthia but resonating with the entire world.
The whole world was violently hit by the Great Abyss!
An incredibly strong feeling of weightlessness, simultaneously coupled with a pressure stuffy in the heart. A powerful sense of suffocation, like the heavy atmosphere right before a storm... yet several times stronger. The ordinary people must gasp heavily to barely maintain their breath, with flushed cheeks.
