Chapter 118: Vol2 Ch16: Apocalypse stone tablet

The relative velocity of a falling meteorite on Earth is dependent on the direction of the meteorite as it entered the atmosphere. If a meteorite entered the Earth’s atmosphere in the opposite direction of the Earth’s rotation, its velocity would easily exceed 70km per second, of course, the average velocity of a falling meteorite only reached 10km per second.
Ever since he confirmed that he had become a Disaster King, especially while he was still unable to use his Disasforce, there hadn’t been a moment where Fang Ze felt secure.
At some point, he began to ‘secretly’ use his Authority to gather several asteroids of varying sizes around the Earth’s atmosphere, adjusting their angles so that they orbited the planet like satellites.
Without the influence of Fang Ze’s Authority, it would take several hours for those asteroids to reach the surface, taking factors like atmospheric friction into consideration.
But under Fang Ze’s Authority, the asteroids maintained a speed of 10km per second and would reach the surface in a mere 10 minutes.
Ever since confirming that the chaos wasn’t accidental but rather a planned attack, Fang Ze had called down a relatively small meteorite.
“Perhaps I’m also a cold-blooded person…” Fang Ze looked at the shattered ground filled with rubble and broken glass. There was still ringing in his ears from the shockwaves of the impact that caused him to feel a bit of nausea, not to mention the minor fragments that happened to strike his body.
Despite knowing what was about to happen and rushing to take cover in time, Fang Ze was still affected. His Authority only accounted for the actual impact, not the shockwaves created afterwards, so if he really did summon an asteroid that could destroy the world, he would probably get caught in it and die as well.
Some crying could be heard coming from the houses on either side of the street, probably affected by the aftermath of the fallen meteorite. This was also the reason why Fang Ze was calling himself cold-blooded. When he decided to summon this meteorite, there were still bodyguards and runaway pedestrians around him.
Fortunately, all the people in this street had been scattered by Wan Heng Yang’s Authority, otherwise, he would have affected a lot more people, causing more deaths and injuries.
Wan Heng Yang had collapsed, his back was a complete mess, the meteorite fragments and street rubble struck his back with immense force, causing it to look like he was blasted by a shotgun shell.
He wasn’t dead yet, but was most likely on the verge of. His eyes had completely clouded over with bright red blood spilling out of his mouth.
Fang Ze coughed a few times, endured the pain and cautiously walked out from cover. It was impossible for there to be only one assailant, his safety hadn’t been guaranteed yet so he couldn’t relax.
“Lalala, I’m the little head seller~ he who doesn’t wait until the dark to pick up my goods~”
Hearing such a strange singing voice, Fang Ze cautiously watched the man who came closer while riding on a skateboard. There was a clear flickering Disasforce reaction coming from his body, but what was even more terrifying than that was the severed head hanging from his waist.
“Here’s the head you ordered, make sure to give a 5-star review, thanks” Killer J put the head in front of Wan Heng Yang, then continued to roll away on his skateboard. Apparently noticing something, he turned around and flashed a bright smile towards a certain rooftop.
As he looked at the severed head filled with panic and confusion, Wan Heng Yang vomited blood and closed his eyes.
…
Wang Zhao moved his eyes away from the sniper scope, sneered, then threw the sniper rifle aside. His task was to create enough pressure for Fang Ze, and to save Fang Ze if he couldn’t do it himself.
In fact, the only reason why the sniper was feigning being unconscious was because his rifle had been aiming at Wan Heng Yang this entire time.
And since Fang Ze had managed to save himself, there was no need for him to show up, but the appearance of Killer J at the very end was quite interesting.
Not too long later, an ambulance siren resounded, signalling the end of this whole charade.
It was only when Fang Ze was picked up by the paramedics and was about to be sent in for first aid did Liu Shi finally arrive with a gloomy expression, regardless of whether or not this was a test, she was definitely losing her job after this.
Chang Xia also had a similarly gloomy face as he listened to the shouting of his superiors coming through his phone. The other side was criticizing him, blaming him for not taking his responsibilities seriously.
However, if Chang Xia still hadn’t discovered the truth of the matter at this point, then he, the section chief of the 6th domain D.E.R division, would be nothing but a fool.
It was just that there were some things that simply could not be said straight.
[How did you actually arrange your personnel this time around!? Not only did an assailant manage to slip through, but your reinforcements even came late…] the voice on the phone continued to shout, the one who orchestrated this entire assault was fake-venting his anger.
What a joke, I gave you, the perpetrator of the attack, the defence deployment plans. You even used hidden personnel in his operation, if it still failed, you’d be better off resigning.
“Understood, I will strengthen the defence deployment” Chang Xia hung up his phone and smashed it on the wall.
Those shitheads, what are they thinking!? Launching an attack in the middle of a busy city, creating the scenario of a mad man attacking a Disaster King. If something had gone wrong, don’t they know what kind of harm it would have caused? Do they have no brains?
Minister Chang put his phone down, he could tell the anger hidden in Chang Xia’s voice, but so what? Over 20 years ago, he was exactly the same, so young, so brave, and just as awe-inspiring, but some truths needed time to gradually become clear.
“The scarlet star streaked across the sky, the newly crowned king unsheathed his sword for the first time”
“As the otherworldly crow cawed, the progress of the apocalypse sped up once more”
Looking at the line of text written on a huge stone tablet preserved in a special glass material, Minister Chang turned around to face the several screens of light with various people inside.
“It’s already speeding up, we don’t have much time” Minister Chang said with an unchanged expression: “Everyone, enact the plan”
“Agreed!” the people on the screens replied one by one with serious faces.
…
Negary slowly moved his body, behind him were three people who had become malnourished, so thin that only skin remained on their bones, they all had horrified expressions on their faces while shivering as they looked at Negary.
〖 Don’t worry, I won’t kill you 〗Negary said indifferently. These three were employees of the crow farms sent to deliver his crows. While Negary had already taken the majority of their flesh, he actually did not intend to kill them.
〖 I’m actually someone who greatly cherishes life. During my long lifespan, I have come to realize that human life itself is also a kind of precious wealth. If not necessary, I would not take the life of anyone 〗Negary slowly said with an extremely sincere tone.
〖 Don’t you agree, gentlemen? 〗Negary turned around with sharp eyes and a frightening chill that caused the two cautiously approaching people to hold their breaths, Disasforce surging from their bodies.
“Stand still and do not move. We are people from the D.E.R division. You are suspected of violating the Disaster Management Law. Please do not attempt anything that would cause a misunderstanding, we have the right to kill you” with surging Disasforce coming from their bodies, they held up their guns at Negary and shouted.
〖 My apologies for startling you, I’ve only just gotten this new body 〗Negary’s terrifyingly imposing presence slowly converged and faded, leaving only a gentle smile that could make anyone feel comfortable.
