Chapter 273 - Earths Expanse Part Four (2/2)
Walter and the other soldiers gazed at the scene with shock in their eyes. He mumbled in a low muffled tone as his eyes didn't leave the shining figure in the air, ”An angel of destruction…”.
Then, as the beauty from the scene left their mind, their survival instinct kicked in as they understood that the godly entity was preparing an attack. The air split apart as, a power akin to a nuclear bomb was being gathered by the entity, and sparks of lightning appeared in the atmosphere.
Heaven and Earth were shaken by the entity's movement. The next moment, before the soldiers up the wall could even begin reacting, the ray of light left the godly being's finger.
A beam coursed through the air in the blink of an eye. Light was in the end the fastest matter existing in the universe, and that law stayed true with the entity's attack.
The soldiers up in the wall saw a flash of light that burned their iris. Their eyes closed in a natural reflex; a few even thought that their last moment had arrived.
Seconds passed, and they regained their sight as the entity's attack disappeared with the same speed as it appeared. Walter glanced everywhere around him, his heart densely hanging near his throat, as he looked at the point of impact of the attack.
A few seconds passed as every soldier in the wall couldn't help but look around, but nothing particular entered his eyes.
”What a weird fle-…”, mumbled one of the soldiers before a strong tremor appeared in every inch of the dense metallic walls. Gasp and screams echoed as the soldiers lost their footings.
From a distance, a few saw that the north part of the walls had been cleanly split apart from the rest of the circular construct. Horror mixed with surprise appeared in the eyes of the higher up hidden inside of the wall, as the acute alarm resonated in a stinging manner in their ears.
No words left their lips as they saw the north part of the wall turned into many cubes that began falling downward. MechSuits and the numerous metallic parts of the wall tumbled toward the ground.
An avalanche of steel rained toward the red dirt soiled by the two days of battle. Mixed with them were the screams of horror and panic from the numerous soldiers that had been standing up in the walls.
Among the dense materials that composed the walls, one could see the intricate construct that had been made inside of them. Rooms, elevators, and even offices had been split apart from the gigantic construct that protected the city from the hazardous outside world.
”They did it…”, mumbled a high ranked official from the new authority that had been handling the logistic of the war.
”A massive breach has been made on our defenses…”, responded another one of his colleagues from a distance position. The rumbling sound made from the falling materials of the wall stopped as the image of their opened up city appeared in the screens in front of them.
”Our city is doomed…”
”Those godly entities won't be needed anymore, as those beasts alone are capable of turning the city into a hellish nightmare!”
Information spread at a lightning fast speed as the numerous higher up gazed at the horror in the screens.
”Prepare our departure!?”, roared one of the higher up in a fit of panic. He got up on his feet, sending the chair he had been sitting toward the smooth floor.
”Departure?”, mumbled one of them with a rough tone. ”Where do you want to escape?”
”It is time for us to honor the same vow we swore to accomplish.”, continued the voice rough voice that came from a man with a high graded military background. ”We will stand next to those soldiers! Assist the soldiers in the fallen north wall!”
The thoughts of the higher up diverted. Mixed intention of fleeing away, and fighting to their last breath filled their thought as they knew that it was time to act.
