"But... but... the concept of the moon has been restored now. We’ve failed, it’s over, we couldn’t defeat it, and it finally broke free from its seal and escaped."
Humanity watched helplessly as the moon in the sky was tainted into a hideous blood-red.
The entire world was filled with a low, mocking laughter.
Then, from a certain breach, a giant cyclone ford, tearing apart the gray, murky heavens to reveal a vicious eyeball, its red glare sweeping across the land.
"The Demon God’s true form is... too enormous..."
Miss Chen wanted to cry but had no tears. She didn’t know if the thing above her was the true body of "Delusion", sothing that could possibly be as large as Jupiter, over a thousand tis the volu of Earth! In its presence, a planet was nothing more than an ant that could be blown away with a puff!
How could humanity possibly contend with a monster as vast as a planet? How had humans managed to seal it away before their deaths?
"Is there any other way?"
"There isn’t. If you don’t want to beco its Puppet, the only way is... to commit suicide."
...
The hideous glow spread like a virus, quickly sweeping across a third of the planet!
Even the lights inside the Magic Cube Sanctuary flickered on and off, unstable due to the erratic voltage.
All sorts of bizarre mutterings rose up around them, tempting people to run outside and bathe in the red light, as if doing so could lead them to the true Heaven.
Humanity... fell into a desperate situation!
Suddenly, the TV broadcast switched to the image of the national leader.
The middle-aged man smoothed his hair slightly and said with a bitter smile to the cara.
"Comrades, friends, thank you for decades of hard work," he said. "We’ve had a tough ti, and we’ve been brave. To cut a long story short, the thing up there has plunged our world into its final crisis."
"It was trapped above the moon, always looking to break through the seal."
"At this mont, we have been defeated."
"It doesn’t matter that we’ve failed; at least we’ve struggled and pursued the splendid expansion of life. As the world turns uncaring, life inevitably withers. Thank you, everyone, for having lived in this world together."
"Goodbye, dear friends, comrades, goodbye!"
Following the leader’s brief speech, he shot himself.
Bang, bang, bang—gunshots rang out in the room.
His staff mbers also committed suicide one after another. The more they knew, the more they feared the entity in the sky.
Once it broke free, things were irretrievable.
...
At Ganlu Temple, the old monk, still chanting sutras, looked up at the red moon and sighed silently.
"We’ve been defeated."
Human effort has its limits, and the old monk had no regrets.
Having tried his best and given his all, defeat was simply that—defeat.
But after just one glance, his mind was filled with confusing chatter, and even his body started to mutate, with grotesque tumors growing wildly as he rapidly transford into sothing inhuman.
The old monk smiled bitterly, lanting once again.
"If one endures a hundred calamities, the karma created does not perish; when the ti of cause and effect cos, one still suffers the consequences. It seems I have repaid my karma!"
He returned to the inner room and took out a sharp dagger.
Using his last monts of lucidity, he plunged the dagger deep into his heart!
...
...
As the red light spread wildly, civilians in the covered areas walked out of the safe zones like zombies.
Their numb faces hailed the arrival of the colossal being above, welcoming it as the supre glory and honor. Then, their souls were stripped away, reducing them to walking corpses.
Dark red clouds obscured the skies as far as the eye could see, even obscuring the sun above, leaving only that one overwhelming eyeball—staring intently at the blue planet, Blue Star.
That vivid, life-filled world nearby, it was the most exquisite prey!
