Chapter 705 433: Global Announcement

The cold night has gone, dawn has arrived, and the first rays of morning light break from the horizon, ushering in the final despair for humanity.

The Spear of Judgment opened at dawn last night, with a countdown of 24 hours.

This means as the morning light arrives, it will be the time of humanity's extinction.

After Sky City fell, the sky above New Moon City was shrouded in endless dust, and the air was filled with dust mixed with a burnt smell, making it unbearably pungent.

The end of that battle did not bring much joy, for the dawn symbolizing destruction was rising, and the people outdoors stood dazedly in place, staring blankly at the distant horizon, hoping this was just a nightmare.

Those who stayed home didn't sleep a wink, holding their loved ones tightly, their faces streaming with tears, trying to find some last solace from their dear ones as the impending destruction approached.

Just as people were bewildered and their hearts filled with despair, a wave of electronic signals swept through, electromagnetic waves carrying communication signals rushing at the speed of light to the whole world.

People's phones suddenly lit up, and a solemn and dignified face appeared on the screens, it was Su Mo's image.

Soon, those on the streets noticed that not only phones, but all outdoor multimedia devices lit up.

Whether in-store televisions, electronic billboards by the roadside, or huge displays in squares, they were all broadcasting the same scene.

Su Mo stood at the center of the screen, watching the people of the world.

"My fellow citizens."

Su Mo's voice came through the speakers, loud and resolute, echoing through every corner of every city.

"In the past 24 hours, each of us has experienced pain and fear."

On streets and alleys, people hiding in shelters peeked out, attracted by the screens that had lit up, all eyes focused on the face in the image.

Gradually, many people, especially those in New Moon City, recognized this face: "It's Captain Su Mo!"

In the image, Su Mo stared at the camera, his gaze and voice filled with strength: "The human elite in Sky City refused to accept the failure in war, and activated a weapon known as the Spear of Judgment, intending to destroy the world."

"People in the New Moon City area should have seen it, not long ago a battle broke out in Sky City, that was me confronting the enemy."

With the spread of invisible electromagnetic waves, people's home computers, subway ad screens, and holographic images among skyscrapers, were all playing the same scene.

No matter where they were, people watched Su Mo's face through these devices, the world's attention was converging on him.

Su Mo's voice roared like a torrent, piercing through the darkness and despair, directly injecting into people's hearts: "Now, I formally announce to everyone, I have won, the Spear of Judgment has been shut down, the apocalypse will not come."

"Each and every one of us can survive."

Hearing these words, people were shocked, seemingly unable to believe their ears, some even started slapping their faces to confirm this wasn't a dream.

"The Spear of Judgment has been shut down... is this true?" Someone started murmuring to themselves, their hand holding the phone shook as they looked up seeking answers from others, only to find the same confusion in everyone's eyes.

At first, not many believed it.

Because the previous global announcement from Sky City had said that the Spear of Judgment was the ultimate weapon of the Constructs, uncontrollable by humans, with irreversible firing procedures.

Yet suddenly, someone emerged saying the Spear of Judgment was shut down, even if this person was Su Mo, after a night of despair, people still couldn't believe.

But soon, they gradually found "evidence."

Golden light rose from the horizon, this was the dawn's light.

The morning sun dispelled the last darkness of the night, dawn's sky was like rebirth, clouds tinged with faint orange-red, and the sunlight poured onto the earth.

The countdown ended.

The Spear of Judgment did not execute the strike program.

Moreover, the endless white stars that had been shining in the sky for the past 24 hours were gone, the sky returned to its original appearance.

The sky was painted with brilliant colors by the morning sun, soft blues and orange-reds intertwined, white clouds illuminated with golden edges by the morning light, like a master painter sketching a beautiful canvas.

Early birds began to fly in the sky, their wings flickering with tiny lights under the morning glow, flocking in the vast sky freely, as if embracing this new world.

Gradually, tears blurred everyone's vision, and the feeling of hope reborn in the disaster's despair rose spontaneously.

"We are alive! We are alive!!!"

It's unclear who shouted first, the voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement, and instantly ignited everyone's emotions, those numb on the night before the apocalypse finally greeted their long-awaited salvation.

[Residential Apartment]

Haywood, Tank, and others surrounded the television, faces full of tears and smiles, they embraced each other, all past fears evaporated with that old friend's announcement.

"Grandpa, are we not going to die?" In Haywood's arms, a little boy looked up, innocently asking.

Haywood nodded, tears streaming down but with a smiling choked voice: "Yes, child, we are safe."
