"Boom—"
"Boom!"
On the fourth day after the [Global Finals] ended, the entire [Demon Star] entered a period of thunderstorms and rain without warning.
Raindrops fell incessantly from gloomy clouds, accompanied by flashing thunder and roaring lightning.
"Boom!"
Bathed in electric light, the crimson waters of the Primitive Sea surged.
After a series of bubbles rose to the surface of the sea, a golden 'boat' slowly emerged from the water. A bearded man who looked very much like the 'Ancestor of Humanity' was rowing the boat and appeared on the sea.
His expression was solemn and dignified, and when he shouted, a sound that seemed to pierce the air echoed throughout the entire [Demon Sea Star]!
"Greedy, ignorant, and unrepentant humans!"
"You have failed the Creator's expectations of you!"
"All vulgar things should be judged! All distorted developments should be corrected! I, the [Seventh Ancestor], will restore the world's twisted development!"
"I hereby declare!!!"
"The Trial of Gods! Has arrived!!!"
"Boom!"
After the Ancestor of Humanity wielded his golden oar, thunderstorms raged, and a violent storm swept across the entire surface of the Demon Star, with howling winds and crashing waves carrying devastating news...
......
At the same time!
"Holy crap! What's going on today?"
"Who? Who was speaking just now?"
"Damn it! My boat almost capsized! What kind of weather is this today?"
"Damn! Why is it still dark? Is this the end of the world?"
"Holy crap! You know what, I've lived most of my life and never seen weather like this! It really feels like the end of the world! And that voice just now said something about a 'Game of Divine Punishment'? Is it for real?"
"Oh my god! If it's the 'Divine Punishment Tournament,' aren't we doomed?"
"......"
Throughout the world of 【Demon Star】, countless residents, looking at today's weather and hearing the divinely wrathful message just now, gradually fell into panic.
Fortunately!
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle—"
The next moment, the [Shipping Alliance] broadcast sounded all over the world.
"【Everyone! Residents of Demon Sea Star! No need to worry. According to the Ship Federation's investigation, these past few days have been the worst rainy season in history! Please take precautions!"
"[To help everyone pass the time during the 'rainy season,' we've decided to hold a special exhibition match! A 'Divine Punishment Exhibition Match' between humans and a simulated 'Ancestor of Humanity'! Please tune in on time!]"
After the official announcement resounded around the world, many people immediately felt reassured.
after all!
Historical events are just history; no one really believes in any "divine punishment."
The claim by the [Shipping Union] that they held a simulated [Divine Punishment Match] is clearly more convincing!
......
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Amidst the thunder and lightning, countless teachers and students at the Mountain and Sea Academy in the Mountain and Sea Domain stared in fear at the dark rain clouds outside the cabin.
"Is...is this really just a natural disaster?"
"Don't worry! The Shipping Association has confirmed it, so how could it be false?"
"Yeah! Yeah! When does the exhibition match start?"
"Thud—"
Among the crowd were those filled with fear and disbelief, and others with excitement awaiting the exhibition match. As the television projector was turned on, a scene resembling a movie was projected onto the screen!
"Boom!"
In the crimson sea, on a small golden boat, a man with a full head of golden hair was punting the boat, looking disdainfully at the several [ship girls] in front of him.
【Shattered Star】, 【Fire Cloud】, 【Mirage】, 【Copy】.
"oh?"
"You are the ones chosen by humanity to fight against me?"
"[SSS Rank]...[A Rank]?[S Rank]?[SS Rank]?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Apart from that black ship, which is somewhat interesting, are the rest of them just here to be funny?"
The Seventh Ancestor felt that such a lineup was an insult to him!
As he shouted, a thunderclap exploded on the sea!
"Boom!"
In front of the projection screen, countless students, far from being frightened, instead revealed a hint of excitement: "Wow! You know what, this exhibition match is incredibly realistic!"
"A golden boat? The human side? Is this... is this a replica of the [Divine Punishment Tournament]?"
"Wow! Awesome! My [Ship Union]! No wonder someone was shouting about the [Divine Punishment Match] just now! Turns out it was all part of the performance! Not bad!"
"No... I feel like it's a little too realistic."
"Give me a break! You actually believe there's such a thing as a 'Human Ancestor'?!"
"......"
The students in the classroom were talking non-stop.
Inside the principal's office, Cui Mingyuan, Wu Haisheng, Lao Nu, and a few others had originally planned to have a reunion with the original [Shattered Star] team, but they never expected to witness such a scene.
"hiss--"
"The shipping association is actually interested in this? In this terrible rainy season, why hold an exhibition match?"
Wu Haisheng was somewhat skeptical, but Cui Mingyuan waved his hand dismissively: "It's normal! After all, the [Big Family] incident just happened! Using the [Divine Punishment Match] as a demonstration can serve an educational and propaganda purpose—"
"Really... just for educational promotion?"
"Boom!"
Another thunderclap exploded outside the cabin, and the old servant watched the live broadcast with a strange expression.
He hadn't seen Zheng Yunlong much lately. Was it really that simple?
