Chapter 168
Earth’s gravity had completely gone awry.
“What…” Henry looked down. His little jump took him over half a meter off the ground, and he was suspended in the air for about half a second before he fell back.
Outside, the seawater acted abnormally as well. The waves wouldn’t fall back, and when the wind blew, they flew into the air.
Everybody would drown if the entire sea rose into the air.
If all the oceans left the seabed, the seawater would cover the entire earth, and the water would be 300m thick. It would be taller than skyscrapers!
“Notify Mr. Soan now!”
Moon wasn’t the only country that had experienced the loss of gravity. The entire world felt it. With the moon moving away and the end of the meteorite rain, Earth officially entered the phase with low gravity.
The atmosphere wouldn’t last much longer either. Without it, the unfiltered sunlight would mercilessly hit the face of Earth.
When that happened, the human race would be wiped out. The sunlight would instantly mummify everybody, turning them into human charcoal sticks.
In the online world.
“Shit! Shit! My phone is floating, and so am I!”
“Oh god! We’re losing gravity! What should we do? Didn’t Mr. Soan say he knew what to do?”
“Yes, where is Mr. Soan? Please take care of our gravity!”
“I’m having trouble breathing! I feel like I’m running out of air!”
“I think it’s the air pressure. If this goes on, we’ll explode!”
“I feel awful! I can’t handle it anymore! Help us!”
“Where’s Mr. Soan? Why wouldn’t he do something? Mr. Soan, help us!”
…
“Look! That’s your payback for exploring the ocean!”
“The ocean is taking revenge! Are you happy now?”
“Bullshit! You sound like you won’t be affected. If Earth loses gravity, everybody will die! Don’t be an idiot!”
“You’re the idiots! Enjoy the gravity-free environment!”
“You people are unbelievable. I’m going to remind you one last time. Don’t let me find you, or I’ll crush all your teeth!”
Back in Moon in Viclan’s lab, Warren jumped over seven meters far and rushed into the lab.
“Patriarch, gravity has lost control! Please do something!”
After that, he noticed a black-and-white energy ball floating in Himmel Soan’s palm. It was surrounded by lightning arcs like a magnetic sphere.
“I see. Go back out there and tell everybody not to panic. Hold on for another ten minutes, and Earth will be back to normal.”
“Really?”
“Please go.”
“Yes! Yes!” Warren jumped out of the room and delivered the news. It immediately calmed everybody down.
The announcement settled their minds. Most people were no longer in a panic, except for a handful. The group of people who had laughed at Himmel Soan became active again.
“Ten minutes? Do you really consider him a god? Is he going to build a moon in ten minutes?”
“It’s hilarious! I admit that Himmel Soan has some abilities, but that’s it. Building a moon is much harder than destroying a meteorite. What makes you think he can do it in ten minutes?”
“You people are so stupid! Let me tell you a very effective method, and it’s up to you to believe it or not. Go out, kneel on the ground, and say, “I’ll be a sea slave forever,” like you mean it. After that, the disaster will end!”
Someone tried it and came back to post a comment. “Guys, I’ve tried it, and it’s true! I can stand firmly on the ground now! You should all try it!”
“Which mental hospital did you escape from? No one will believe something so ridiculous! I went to college, you know?”
“You’re the ridiculous one! I see you’ve learned nothing in college. You can go to hell! How could you argue here without even trying it? I tried it, and I’m standing on the ground now!”
“Really?! You sound incredible! All you need is one sentence? I don’t buy it!”
Some secret support wrote, “It’s true! I tried it, too! I got my gravity back as soon as I tried it! Please give it a go!”
“I tried it, too! It’s true! I can’t believe it! What’s going on? Is it some kind of supernatural power?”
“It can’t be real. Hold on, guys. I’m going to try it myself and videotape the entire process! You’re welcome to watch!”
“I’m going, too! Guys, follow me, and I’ll bring you along!”
Old habits die hard. Some influencers still tried to grab attention in a time like this. They voluntarily left the shelters and arks and walked toward the flood.
“Guys, I’m going to verify that claim for you! Here it goes!”
“Guys, show me some support, and I’ll demonstrate it for you!”
“Guys, look! I’m almost flying now! The ocean is right in front of me! You’re going to see the result immediately!”
Vloggers all over the world used this opportunity to attract more fans. There were major disasters, and the Moonian government website was the only place where they could post videos.
It was now or never.
The whole world was watching. If they succeeded, they could gain hundreds of millions of followers. Once Earth was safe again, they would become major influencers. They could grab as much money as they could.
They would do anything for the money and a better life in the future.
Moreover, it wasn’t anything dangerous. They only needed to kneel and say those words. What could possibly happen?
There was nothing to be afraid of.
Just then, Himmel Soan sent Henry a message.
“Do not follow that instruction! Shut down all the vlogs! No one can kneel!”
