Chapter 1060: 826 Second Holy War! [Important Notice]
Li Xini abruptly stood up, unable to hide his shock: “A radius over 3500m?!”
“Yes, this is just a preliminary estimate.” Bai Xiang wiped the sweat from his forehead, his voice even more anxious, “As ti passes, this asteroid will continuously absorb other substances in the universe during its movent.”
“By the ti it reaches Earth, the worst estimate suggests its radius could exceed 150km!”
Li Xini’s face turned pale as well: “My God…”
“Moreover, it’s not just this one asteroid.” Bai Xiang took a deep breath, “Around this largest asteroid, there are many asteroids with a radius of hundreds of ters, this is an asteroid cluster!”
An asteroid hitting Earth is sothing that currently only exists in sci-fi films.
But throughout Earth’s long history of billions of years, this sort of thing has happened millions of tis and has often led to species extinction.
So scientists estimate that dinosaurs went extinct because an asteroid hit Earth hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Let alone an asteroid with a radius of 150km, even 3500m, Li Xini had never heard of it.
For years, besides combating transnational criminals and all other illegal acts, IBI also has departnts specifically to deal with various disasters.
The departnt has warning and countering thods for disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, and tornadoes.
Though asteroid strikes are extrely rare, IBI has corresponding asures to deal with them.
But they’ve never encountered an asteroid cluster.
Such a large asteroid hitting would be enough to make the entire Earth collapse.
Within seconds, Li Xini had cald down and made a decisive decision: “Report this matter to the officers, then connect with Norton University!”
At the sa ti, across the Atlantic from the IBI headquarters, in Norton University.
“What about the backup plan?” The deputy principal paced back and forth in the star observation room, yelling, “Can’t we change its flight path? If it can’t be changed, just blow it away with remote machinery!”
“De-deputy principal, if we had observed it a year or even three months earlier, we theoretically could have avoided it completely.” A professor pushed his glasses, also anxious, “But it appeared suddenly, no one knew how they started heading towards Earth!”
“We… we simply don’t have the ti.”
The deputy principal was about to say sothing when the communicator was forcefully opened.
At the sa ti, Ying Zijin, Fu Yunshen, Norton, along with Li Xini and Bai Xiang, all entered the online conference room.
The deputy principal saw Norton’s distinctive silver short hair imdiately and beca timid: “Principal!”
He desperately gave Ying Zijin a look, hoping she could suppress the soon-to-be furious Norton.
However, to the deputy principal’s surprise, Norton didn’t scold him, instead smiled: “I know, you’ve already done well.”
The deputy principal beca even more terrified: “Pr-Principal, I know you must be extrely angry, probably too angry to think straight.”
Norton raised his eyes coldly: “Get out.”
The deputy principal let out a long sigh of relief: “Thank goodness, it’s the principal.”
“Stop the nonsense.” Ying Zijin lifted her head, “Report the situation.”
“Yes, sir.” The deputy principal took a breath, “We were observing the universe as usual, but suddenly discovered an asteroid cluster coming straight towards Earth today.”
He explained the whole background: “Sir, this is a matter of life and death for all humanity!”
Qin Lingyu, listening attentively, frowned: “Death doing this?”
This level of disaster couldn’t even be stopped by the initial Four Sages.
Fu Yunshen said calmly: “Impossible, he doesn’t have that capability, it’s just a disaster.”
“I understand.” Ying Zijin remained calm, “Proceed with all your current defense asures, leave the rest to , please trust .”
The deputy principal paused for a mont, then straightened up: “Yes, I trust you, sir!”
He had known for a long ti that only Ying Zijin was always dependable in this world.
Norton slowly spoke: “I can’t return for now, you continue to manage Norton University, I’m not joking, I an it, Dekel, you’ve really done well.”
The deputy principal’s eyes reddened: “Principal…”
“Alright, I get annoyed when I see you.” Norton pressed a button, “Disconnected.”
The deputy principal, barely moved for a second: “…”
eting ended, Ling Mianxi stood up: “I’ll go to the research institute to help.”
Qin Lingyu also said: “I’ll go with you.”
The Sages all went out to start action.
Fu Yunshen turned his head and saw the girl staring blankly ahead.
He narrowed his gaze and reached out to hold her shoulder: “Yaoyao?”
“I’m thinking about where exactly my ‘heart’ is.” Ying Zijin slowly pressed her temples, “I thought I lost my ‘heart’ myself, now it seems I was born without one.”
Without a heart, all her emotions were absent too.
“No wonder Miss Ying ignored back then.” Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow, “It hurt my heart for a long ti, I even hid away and cried.”
“Pff——” Qin Lingyan sprayed a mouthful of cola, choking.
Fu Yunshen’s peach blossom eyes lifted, glancing over faintly.
“Please, carry on.” Qin Lingyan rolled away holding the cola bottle, “I didn’t hear anything!”
“Indeed.” Ying Zijin gave him a glance, “Even a heartless Miss Ying, liked the botherso Mr. D back then.”
“Botherso?” Fu Yunshen dragged out the tone, “Now I’m truly hurt.”
“Are you acting spoiled again?” Ying Zijin gave him a push, “Quickly, go to work.”
Fu Yunshen got up lazily: “As you command.”

Elsewhere.
In the Black Skull Underground Headquarters.
With that person’s help, Ta and Zhou Yan’s injuries were sowhat healed, just barely able to walk.
“Hey, I’m still a bit uneasy.” Yao Guang leaned against the wall, frowning, “Among the initial Four Sages, Fool and Temperance have fallen, but Judgnt and World remain, and they still haven’t appeared.”
“There is no World here.” That person said faintly, “As for Judgnt? She can’t compare to now.”
“True.” Hearing this, Yao Guang’s brows relaxed, “You represent death, Judgnt represents resurrection, we’ve been unable to find her all these years, but she’s no longer a threat to you.”
To Sage Death, the biggest threat among the twenty-two Sages is indeed Sage’s Judgnt.
Because Sage Death and Sage’s Judgnt represent the extres of “death” and “resurrection,” they are the only pair of Sages that counter each other.
Sage’s Judgnt was originally their primary hunting target.
But thanks to Judgnt being one of the initial Four Sages, finding her has not been as easy as finding Strength and Justice.
“Yes, high-tech has its benefits.” That person looked up, faintly, “Now, everyone knows the apocalypse is coming.”
And all of it is going to be destroyed.
Yao Guang crossed her arms: “It’s expected, after all these years, the number of near-Earth asteroids has exceeded over ten thousand, eventually, one was bound to be able to destroy Earth.”
She clicked her tongue: “Sara truly thought the cosmic carrier couldn’t be built to prevent strong forces from other universes from coming.”
Actually, it’s not allowed just so that no one can escape the extinction-level disaster this ti.
“Yao Guang, let’s go.” That person remained indifferent, “We’re going to Sage Academy to fetch the Pope and Priestess.”
Yao Guang jumped down: “It’s ti to start the second Holy War.”

On this side, Ying Zijin also went to the research institute to start devising the defense plan.
There’s less than a week left until 12:00 AM on January 1, 20xx.
She still couldn’t see anything beyond the void.
Clearly, this is the apocalypse.
She had previously conversed with Fool and discussed what if one day a disaster appeared that all Sages couldn’t counter.
“Ah Ying, sothing happened again!” Ling Mianxi hurried over, her expression grave, “News has co from various places saying that the Seven Continents and Four Oceans can now see the City of the World!”
Ying Zijin’s eyes narrowed slightly: “Let’s go, let’s head out to take a look.”
The City of the World is located on Earth.
From a physics standpoint, because the spatial dinsions differ, the Seven Continents and Four Oceans can’t see the City of the World.
But now, they can.
“This just in! December 24, 20xx, at 3:53 AM, an unknown plate suddenly appeared in the sky over the mainland, scientists are conducting tests, and all residents are urged to stay calm.”
Various regions and languages are reporting the sa event.
At this mont, people from various orientations of the Seven Continents and Four Oceans can all see this gigantic city nad “the City of the World” slowly appearing over their heads.
