Dragon Tribulation of All Realms

Chapter 33: Before the So-called War...

The power of vows is gathering.

The prayers of believers can bring Wu Chen not only magic power, but also computing power. Only by simultaneously improving these two areas and transforming them into knowledge reserves and spellcasting skills can a wizard of a higher rank achieve success.

Part of the problem has been solved.

But the other part will take time to deal with.

Before setting out, Wu Chen sat cross-legged on the large bed that his followers had prepared for him. Then, Hera Molly's notes appeared before his eyes once again.

He always spends time studying these books.

Now, as the computing power of prayers blessed him, he could clearly sense the improvement in his understanding and the acceleration of his thinking. In a very short time, he had made significant breakthroughs in the previously obscure rune structures and spellcasting techniques. And some difficult knowledge points that had once caused him so much pain were finally overcome.

There are five branches of magic in Skyrim.

Destruction, change, restoration, illusion, summoning.

Wu Chen had learned and practiced extensively the first four spells. Repeating Fireball had become a personal hobby, and Armor was a regular spell. Restoration and Illusion had also brought him much faith. Summoning, however, was the only major skill he knew very little about.

It's not that I can't learn it, it's simply that the threshold is too high. The most basic requirement for learning summoning spells is mastering a series of demonic texts related to annihilation, as well as the theories and techniques of otherworldly exploration. To achieve this, ample time is essential.

Wu Chen's talent for languages ​​wasn't particularly strong. Before reaching the Scattered Bone Ridge, he doubted whether he could accomplish his goal before reaching Wind Helm.

But now...

The efficiency is just right.

Wu Chen took a deep breath and began to study and practice this set of techniques that he knew very little about. And...

Before the retreat, give some appropriate instructions.

..............................

world.

The world is boiling.

When Duneville appeared in the northern and central waters of Sakurajima and the Death Spiral materialized in the city of Pulau, the entire world viewed this land as ominous.

There must be something wrong with this country. Perhaps it's the people, or perhaps it's the land.

The occurrence of two completely different disasters within such a narrow area must indicate some special circumstances. If the superpowers had previously tentatively dispatched troops to intervene in the situation on Sakurajima, now they would simply let Sakurajima handle it on its own.

The damage that has already occurred is already enough. In an uncertain situation, stopping the loss is more important than revenge. After all...

Whether it is the East Continent or the West Continent, they must retain their strength and protect themselves to prevent the third supernatural disaster from occurring within their own territory.

The intelligence was therefore blocked.

As early as Duneville's appearance, Sakurajima's internal communications system had been completely disconnected from the outside world. The superpowers had joined forces to create a hastily constructed information barrier, ensuring that those who shared information and feared chaos would be unable to create panic when the superpowers were caught off guard.

The effect is pretty good.

Maybe not.

However, Sakurajima is not a small, weak nation like Guinea, which is not even worthy of the word "harmony" and whose reputation is almost non-existent. Its disconnection is bound to be known to the public, and it will inevitably have various consequences.

7:45 PM — East Continent, a Penguin Chat Group

Mengyun: Today's erotic pictures are not up to standard. Did you secretly do some pornography without telling me? Tell me!
Litchi: (sweating emoji)
Meilushin: It seems there is a problem with P station. I haven’t been able to log in since this afternoon.

Mei Luxin: By the way, have you guys been watching the news? It seems a plane in China lost contact over Sakurajima...

Litchi: (confused expression)
Mengyun: What plane? I only saw that Wang Feng is having a concert tomorrow...

————————This group chat has been temporarily banned due to violations of relevant regulations————————

"What the hell!? They blocked four of my groups in a row? Is Penguin crazy today?" Meng Yun jerked back, staring at the row of exclamation marks on her chat app, her eyes and mind filled with question marks of all sizes. She had no idea what was going on. She was just chatting normally, but the group chats were inexplicably exploding one after another!

I don't know what it means. It's incomprehensible.

But there is no way.

"If you don't give me an explanation, I'll complain to death..."

The young veteran netizen gritted her teeth, launching a backup group chat while trying to relieve the frustration in her stomach. She subconsciously opened a pink and black app, frowning and pulling the corners of her mouth together.

"Find some ladies to relax... What the hell? Why are all the Vs on Sakurajima disconnected? Can the live streaming platforms be disconnected at the same time?"

The situation seemed to be getting even stranger. The vast majority of Sakurajima's virtual streamers, who used to be easily accessible, were either replaying replays or offline. The few remaining were Sakurajima natives physically residing in the Eastern Continent, and their platforms were littered with question marks. Periodically, viewers online would ask them what was happening with Sakurajima. However, their responses were a resounding "I don't know."

It seems like something strange is happening.

There was a soft "ding" sound.

My real-life friends on the phone sent a series of exclamation marks, and then a very large video file appeared at the bottom of the communication bar.

"Look! Sakurajima is haunted! It's super violent and exciting!"

She casually flipped open the video, and the panicked screams emanating from the audio made her instinctively recoil. The blurry footage showed countless people running and shouting on the street, accompanied by spurts of blood, and people wailing as they were tackled by strange-looking creatures.

Good, so exciting...the special effects are so powerful!

She wanted to continue watching, but the next moment, her video and the entire communication section went black.

——————This account was banned for spreading harmful information——————

The group is gone, and the account is gone.

Meng Yun's beautiful eyes blinked in confusion. Then—

“I’m super——!!!”

The girl's blushing warmth spoke volumes, for it was accompanied by a sharp, furious scream. The same thing was happening in many places around the world. Perhaps over ten million group chats and individual accounts were shut down that night.

And this was actually just the easiest part. It required only ordinary manpower, like typing away on a computer. While the internet censors were busy deleting posts and banning accounts, the remaining Atlantic Federation fleet was launching a blockade of Sakurajima. All important ports were forcibly closed, and fishing and cargo vessels were ordered to shut down, only allowed to dock at designated ports.

Sakurajima is huge.

Even if we exclude the entire Pulau Pinang metropolitan area and the central and northern coast, it is still very large.

After the interim decision-making body, strictly supervised by the superpowers, took office, all cities and towns on Sakurajima were ordered to enter a state of lockdown. Signal towers were silenced, streets were blocked. All cities were restricted to entry but not exit. Finally, the first batch of air support from the superpowers arrived on Sakurajima.

Their primary task is to pick up those particularly important key persons and ensure that they can escape smoothly from this land.

“…It really works.”

Secretary Qin bit down hard on the energy bar, feeling the terrible taste and the fresh energy gradually emerging from his body. The information sent by the mysterious person has been fully verified to be true. And this also means -

——All the overseas Chinese and tourists who can be contacted are here.

The embassy was located on the edge of the core ritual area, a terrible place. The East Continent expatriates and tourists outside the core area had been rescued, but those within the core area... were no longer in need of rescue.

They have lost contact and are dead.

And under Secretary Qin's command, there are still hundreds of lives left to save, and he needs to take them on personally.

"Evacuate, we must seize this opportunity."

A series of explosions erupted outside the embassy, ​​and high-speed fighter planes swept the streets with a barrage of bullets. Those sturdy structures were no match for the indiscriminate bombardment of modern technology, and this tore open a hole, allowing the survivors inside the embassy to escape.
