Man on the ark, forced to become king

Perhaps, as Scout said, natural disasters of this scale are not too unusual in Kazdel, but since arriving in this world, he has heard about the horrors of natural disasters everywhere, but this is the first time he has actually witnessed one with his own eyes.

The sheer scale of this disaster truly opened his eyes. Even from such a great distance, the oppressive feeling brewing high in the sky was still incredibly clear. The intense energy gathered in the swirling cloud vortex even triggered an effect similar to magical radiance. When it actually struck the earth, probably nothing could surpass it in pure destructive power.

The natural disaster that destroyed the city was no joke.

Moreover, this is only a relatively common small-scale natural disaster. What would a large-scale natural disaster that requires large-scale mobile city migration and evacuation to be carried out several days in advance look like?

"Excuse me, Mr. Lin Lu, I must take my leave for now."

Gazing at the apocalyptic scene, Scout took out a huge, brick-shaped communicator from his waist, then, as if remembering something, turned and instructed, "According to the expert team's previous predictions, this small natural disaster will hit more than ten kilometers away and will not affect this area. It will pass quickly. You can rest near the village for now and wait for the disaster to end."

After saying this, he didn't stop for a moment and hurriedly ran into the garrison camp. Even Hadley, who had been watching this side, turned around and went into his tent, no longer paying attention to this place. It seemed that they had received the news long ago and were very experienced in handling similar incidents. Apart from being slightly surprised at first, they quickly got into operation in an orderly manner and organized the evacuation work.

The wind grew stronger and the air became increasingly murky. An invisible sense of oppression pressed down from above. Even without professional instruments, one could clearly feel the approach of the natural disaster. When the energy gathered in the sky reached the critical point, it would be the moment of true explosion, which would surely be quite spectacular.

No one spoke, and Lin Lu had no interest in standing in the strong wind eating sand. He stared at the ever-growing natural disaster cloud for a while, then returned to his off-road vehicle, dusted himself off, and sat down.

Snapped!

The car doors closed, instantly shutting out the howling wind and making the area much quieter.

"That's a natural disaster?"

Perhaps the commotion caused by the natural disaster was too great, because Lani, who had been in 'low-power standby mode', was unusually awake at this moment, pressing her face against the windshield to observe the huge funnel-shaped clouds in the sky.

"Yes, that was a natural disaster, and in terms of scale, it was a small meteorite disaster, the most common type in Kazdel."

Mostima squinted, staring intently into the deepest part of the lightning-streaked clouds, his tone enigmatic.

When it comes to understanding natural phenomena like natural disasters, none of the people present can compare to her, the messenger of natural disasters.

Over the years, she has been traveling across this land, and has brought warnings of impending natural disasters to many cities. Compared with those large-scale natural disasters that are truly capable of destroying a mobile city, her efforts are only moderate, but they are still quite astonishing.

Faced with the boundless power of nature, every individual will deeply feel their own insignificance and fear the things that are beyond their control.

Even the strongest warriors, capable of taking on a hundred or a thousand men single-handedly, could only flee in panic in the face of such a calamity.

Natural disasters are unavoidable; one can only avoid them. This is something everyone knows. Faced with absolute power, even the largest empires at the top of the world can only move their cities to avoid the impact of natural disasters.

"Is this the first time you've witnessed a natural disaster?"

"This is indeed the first time I've observed something so close up like this."

Lin Lu nodded, suddenly feeling a reckless impulse reminiscent of her past.

In fact, he had seen similar scenes before, and he had even caused them himself.

When he personally defeated the Star Shattered General who sealed the stars, the sealed stars fell from the sky, and a huge meteor crashed into Nymgford, directly opening a passage to the underworld—the Eternal City.

The earth tremors at that time affected almost the entire Nymgford. Forests were destroyed, rocks crumbled, the ground was torn apart, and a deep abyss stretched from the surface to hundreds of meters underground. At the same time, Lani's fate began to turn again.

That was the beginning of his acquaintance with Lani. Through that meteor that shattered the earth, he was able to enter the legendary eternal city of Noklonn, retrieve the Hunter's Finger Blade from the Dark Realm that could harm the Supreme Will, and hand it to Lani to cut off the two fingers, thus freeing himself from his shackles.

It was during that underground journey that he obtained something that would greatly help him ascend to the throne—a product of the Eternal City's rare civilization's god-making project: the bionic teardrop.

"This is a rare opportunity... Here it comes!"

Mostima murmured softly, his voice suddenly rising in pitch.

As her words fell, the gray world hidden under the dark clouds and gale suddenly lit up. Dazzling colors flashed in the swirling clouds suspended in the sky. A huge meteorite burning with flames tore through the clouds, suppressed the gale, and crashed down with the power to destroy everything!

The whole world seemed to be covered with a thin layer of orange-red sand. The raging wind that swept across the land stopped for a moment, and then erupted even more violently.

A towering black wall, seemingly connecting heaven and earth, abruptly rose from the distant wasteland, bearing down on this place with an awe-inspiring sense of oppression. Visible shockwaves exploded in the air, and a fierce hurricane made the entire vehicle shake violently, as if it might be swept up and thrown away at any moment.

boom!

The earth trembled violently, and the power of the natural disaster that erupted ten kilometers away was clearly transmitted here. The people inside the car felt the earth churning like water, with invisible waves spreading chaotically. An intense heat rushed in through the car windows, almost suffocating them.

The moment Lin Lu looked up, her entire vision was filled with floating dust. The whole world was a hazy gray, with faint orange-red hues mixed in. She couldn't even discern the exact direction, and the village not far away was completely invisible.

Chapter Sixty-One: Blooming! The Golden Seed!

Clouds and smoke filled the air, darkening the sky and earth.

Everyone in the car paled in shock. Even Mostima, who had witnessed natural disasters many times before, did not expect that this small natural disaster would be so fierce.

The meteorite crash caused a storm that engulfed the entire area, even though they were still a full ten kilometers away from the point of impact!

If it weren't for the weight of the off-road vehicle and the four people on it, it probably would have been overturned by the earthquake and swept away by the hurricane by now!

But this was just the beginning. The howling wind and waves outside the car not only did not stop, but became even more violent. If this continued, it would probably not be long before the car was swept up by the aftermath of the natural disaster!

"This can't go on; the meteorite's energy is still being released continuously."

Lin Lu held Lani in her arms with one hand and gripped the handrail in the car with the other. She swayed back and forth with the bumps of the vehicle and shouted out loud.

"nonsense!"

Holding her weapon case in both hands, Fiamma managed to sit steadily thanks to the weight of the weapons. She couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard Lin Lu's shout.

Does she not know that things can't go on like this?

The crucial point is that they are now facing a genuine natural disaster! Faced with such overwhelming natural forces, what other option is to simply withstand it?!

"Xiao Mo! Quickly use your invincible time-stop ability to think of a solution!"

Lin Lu naturally didn't expect her to take out the cannon from the box and disperse the aftershocks of the natural disaster. That's not something you can do in your dreams. So he immediately turned his attention to Mostima, hoping that this great mage from Laterano who could stop time with magic might have some way to deal with this situation.

As an experienced messenger of natural disasters, surely he wouldn't be helpless?

"What can I do! You don't expect me to stop this storm, do you? Are you still asleep?!"

Mostima was also dizzy from being shaken, and when he heard this, he replied irritably, quite annoyed.

What can she do?

Disaster messengers are responsible for delivering information about natural disasters, not for fighting them!

"Alright, it seems I'll have to take action myself. Xiao Mo, after such a natural disaster, will anything be left behind?"

"Yes, after the natural disaster, this area will become an open-pit Originium mine, which is extremely dangerous. Without professional equipment, the chances of getting Oripathy infection here are extremely high!"

"That's fine, I'll take this place!"

"Huh? What did you say?!"

Mostima's eyes widened in astonishment, wondering if she had misheard because of the strong wind outside.

Before she could ask any more questions, a gust of wind carrying sand and gravel rushed into the car. Lin Lu placed the little doll on the seat, rolled down the window, grabbed the long sword, and jumped out of the window.

The mechanical roll caused the lowered car window to rise again before it reached the bottom, cutting off the wind and waves. The interior of the car returned to calm. Looking outside, however, there was no sign of Lin Lu.

"Is this some kind of minor natural disaster?"

Lin Lu climbed out of the car and onto the roof, gripping the cargo rack tightly with both hands. As soon as he looked up, sand and dust stung his eyes. The strong wind made it almost impossible for him to breathe. The surging energy, mixed with sand and gravel, seemed to want to pry open every crevice in his body and squeeze into it, making him extremely uncomfortable.

If this level is considered small, then what would a truly large-scale natural disaster look like?

And the meteorite has already hit the ground, so why is the energy impact still erupting?!

With a series of questions swirling in her mind, Lin Lu closed her eyes, raised her arm, and drew out the black blade. A shimmering white light appeared on the blade, tinting the surrounding orange-red air with a touch of white.

Combat Skill: Summon the Storm!

One of the storm combat techniques from Stormville, the city of Storms, it allows one to manipulate the power of the wind for one's own use. Originally a powerful combat technique for attack, if used skillfully enough, it can also allow one to control the surrounding storm and use it as a defensive barrier.

Just then, a strong wind was blowing, which was perfect for using the Storm series of combat techniques. If nothing unexpected happened, protecting the size of a vehicle should not be a big problem—provided that the aftershocks of the natural disaster did not continue to intensify.

The outcome was roughly as expected.

As the combat technique was activated, wisps of white light swirled around it. The originally powerful gale began to deflect under the effect of the technique, forming a wind barrier around the vehicle and isolating a relatively peaceful environment.

Although the ground was still trembling slightly, it was no longer enough to cause any harm.

"It's done—"

Maintaining her combat skills, Lin Lu grinned and wiped the sand off her lips, but then a strong feeling of palpitation suddenly surged into her heart!

He subconsciously looked up and saw a dark brown line, seemingly without end, cutting through the orange-red sandstorm and flying towards him in the dim sky!

"not good!"

His mind reacted, but his body was a beat too slow. Lin Lu didn't have time to react before he saw the horizontal line tearing through the air. This time, he finally saw the full picture of the horizontal line. It was a ring-shaped shockwave composed of violent energy, spreading out from the point of impact of the natural disaster!

The surrounding storm barrier crumbled at the slightest touch, and the powerful energy instantly blew him and the off-road vehicle beneath him away.

The world is spinning!

Lin Lu felt an overwhelming force slam through her chest and onto her body, sending her flying into the air before crashing heavily to the ground. Her back was in excruciating pain. The military green SUV rolled sideways on the ground, spinning seven or eight times before finally overturning several meters away, with a large dent in the body shell.

Before he could even react, another wave of energy, exactly the same as before, rushed towards him, and another horizontal line had already taken shape from the center of the storm in the far distance!

"Damn it! Is this never going to end?!"

Although the specific situation is unclear, even a fool can see that this is no ordinary natural disaster. If this energy impact is allowed to erupt wave after wave, the consequences will be unimaginable. Once caught in an even more violent storm, who dares to say that they can escape unscathed?

Even Mostima, who possesses the ability to stop time, cannot guarantee that she can properly activate her spells and escape the disaster area in such a violent and complex environment!

With her mind racing and another wave of energy surging before her, Lin Lu didn't care about anything else. She gritted her teeth, pulled out a golden seed the size of an egg from her bosom, clenched it in her palm, and unleashed a shimmering white spiral storm around her arm before slamming it into the ground.

Blood flowed down his arm, soaking the seeds and staining the soil red. In an instant, a semi-transparent golden tree seemed to appear above the arm that was embedded in the ground, glowing with a faint light.
