Chapter 530 - 539: Inexplicable Growth in Strength

Chapter 530: Chapter 539: Inexplicable Growth in Strength

Stella Sterling’s gaze sharpened.

’This... is this an earthquake?’

And this time, the tremor was intense!

A large base like Sanctyr Base would have taken this kind of problem into account during its construction.

So a typical earthquake shouldn’t have much of an effect on a major base.

But this time, the tremors were so distinct even inside the base, and the shaking was getting more and more violent.

It was clear this earthquake was severe.

Stella Sterling remembered that after the scorching heat began, there hadn’t been any more earthquakes.

’It seems many things have indeed changed in this life, with many differences from before.’

"Be careful!"

Stella Sterling warned Black Swan and the others.

The sudden turn of events threw everyone present into a panic.

Their expressions changed, and they all wanted to run.

Before the scorching heat arrived, things like earthquakes happened often, and they had long since experienced their devastating power.

Who knows how many people had died because of them not long ago.

Besides, Sanctyr Base was built against a mountain. ’Don’t tell me we’re all going to be buried here?’

The moment the disaster struck, the members of Caeluna Base immediately gathered around Stella Sterling.

But the Human Body Warriors, like soulless puppets, felt no fear. So even in this situation, they continued to attack, obstructing Black Swan and the others.

The batch of Human Body Warriors that had already reached Stella Sterling also charged at her, completely fearless of death.

A glint of coldness flashed in Stella Sterling’s eyes.

’I didn’t want to deal with these things so quickly. I wanted to test just how strong they were, but it seems that’s impossible now.’

She struck swiftly, flashes of lightning seeming to flicker between her hands.

In the chaos, everyone only saw a burst of fiery light, with flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder.

But at this moment, everyone was preoccupied with escaping for their lives and paid no attention to the situation here.

They didn’t notice that after that flash of lightning and thunder, all the Human Body Warriors had collapsed to the ground.

"Go!"

Stella Sterling ordered, about to lead her people away.

The tremors were growing stronger. Some of Sanctyr Base’s buildings began to collapse one after another, and people dodged for cover everywhere.

If they stayed any longer, they would all likely die here.

With the obstacles gone, Black Swan and the others quickly reached Stella Sterling’s side, regrouping with her.

Looking at the heavily injured and unconscious Hunter Night and Zane Xavier, Stella Sterling simply picked them up and ran toward the outside of Sanctyr Base.

She had gotten a lot of information out of Zane Xavier before, learning of several secret tunnels leading out of Sanctyr Base. Taking one of those would be much faster.

Sanctyr Base had now completely collapsed, turning into a field of ruins. There was no telling how many people were buried underneath.

Many people were also fleeing in a panic.

Sanctyr Base housed many ordinary residents. After Stella Sterling’s people had brought them under control, they had been waiting obediently in one place for instructions.

But now that the earthquake had suddenly hit, those people could no longer care about anything else and started running in a panic.

Some who were agile and quick to react escaped the disaster, while those who were slower were crushed beneath the debris, never to stand again.

The leaders of the smaller factions from before were also fleeing for their lives, not caring where they went.

Some, at critical moments, grabbed their own subordinates to shield themselves from danger.

In such chaos, all manner of events were unfolding.

And yet, in this situation, Stella Sterling’s mind grew increasingly clear.

She led her people, dodging collapsing buildings as she fled toward the outside of Sanctyr Base.

She cleared the path at the front, with Black Swan and the others following closely behind her.

The people of Caeluna Base trusted Stella Sterling implicitly. They did nothing but follow tightly behind Sterling.

For a time, not a single one of them fell behind.

Seeing Stella Sterling and her group, some other people also chose to follow them, forming a sizable contingent behind her.

Stella Sterling charged ahead as rubble and debris fell from time to time.

With Stella Sterling’s abilities, it wasn’t that she couldn’t dodge it, but if she did, the Caeluna Base members behind her would be hit.

Therefore, Stella Sterling directly used her will, collecting the falling debris into her space as it came down.

And so, some of the Caeluna Base members witnessed an astonishing scene.

They saw the falling objects inexplicably vanish the moment they were about to hit Sterling.

Even in such a panic, they couldn’t help but feel amazed upon seeing this.

They looked at the person charging ahead, their faces filled with adoration.

’Could it be? Is our Sterling blessed by the heavens? Otherwise, why would such a bizarre scene occur?’

’Our Sterling must be the chosen one!!!’

It wasn’t just the people from Caeluna Base who saw this; many in the group following behind them saw it too.

Among them were some surviving members of Sanctyr Base who had surrendered early on and thus hadn’t been killed.

There were also people from those smaller factions.

Amidst their panic, they too saw the astonishing scene unfolding ahead.

One by one, they fled for their lives, their mouths agape in astonishment.

It made the scene somewhat bizarre and comical.

’That person is like a god descended to earth! She’s too powerful.’

’We were right to follow this person!’

’She’s protected by the heavens! If we follow her, we’ll definitely survive.’

And so, the people who were already following Stella Sterling and her group did so with even greater determination.

There were also some who had been fleeing in disarray, but upon seeing such a large group here, they turned and fell in behind them as well.

Stella Sterling, clearing the path at the front, was not fully aware of the situation behind her.

However, she did notice something strange.

’I’m clearly running for my life, but for some reason, a continuous stream of faith power is suddenly surging crazily into my body, and my strength is growing.’

And as her strength grew, she found it easier and easier to handle the chaos and danger.

And so, under these circumstances, they managed to escape the area and reach a stretch of flat ground.

Many people had died along the way, and many more were injured.

At this point, the earthquake also began to subside.

Everyone sat on the ground as if they had just survived a catastrophe, looking back behind them in a daze.

Behind them, Sanctyr Base had been reduced to a pile of ruins, its former appearance completely unrecognizable.
