Chapter 65

Deadly 48 Hours

At the crack of dawn, the CEA's red alert shattered the morning tranquility without warning.

The piercing alarm instantly flooded the CEA's internal command screen, and all monitoring terminals simultaneously displayed abnormal data, with values ​​fluctuating wildly and completely breaking through recent safety thresholds.

Captain Sato, who was on duty in the command room, immediately stood up, his eyes fixed on the data stream jumping on the central screen, his expression instantly becoming serious.

"Spatial energy level has surged abnormally, located in the Xishan area on the outskirts of the city!"

The Xiong Er team immediately went into combat readiness mode. After switching the monitoring footage of the Xishan area in the suburbs, the comprehensive monitoring footage of the Xishan area was transmitted back to the command center in just a few dozen seconds.

The initial images transmitted back plunged the entire command center into a deathly silence.

The main body of Xishan Mountain, which had stood for many years, has completely disappeared.

The mountain ridge, stretching for hundreds of meters, seemed to have been completely erased from space, leaving only a flat and smooth empty space.

In the very center of the open space stood a colossal ocean liner.

Almost instantly, Xiong Er compared the pictures of the ship with big data and was surprised to find that the ship had been missing for 10 years!

"Captain, the comparison is complete. This cruise ship is the ocean liner that mysteriously disappeared thirteen years ago while sailing in coastal waters."

Thirteen years ago, this cruise ship, fully loaded with passengers, disappeared without warning while sailing normally at sea. The radar signal vanished into thin air. After months of searching across the entire sea, land, and air, no trace of the ship was found, and it was eventually classified as a mysterious disappearance at sea.

And this ship, which had disappeared thirteen years ago, miraculously reappeared in the deep mountains of the interior after many years!

  

Then, more in-depth monitoring data completely refreshed everyone's understanding.

"Abnormal spatial fluctuations! The Xishan spacetime rift is extremely active and is continuously and autonomously spreading!"

Sakata stared at the particle monitoring graph and spoke rapidly: "Data comparison complete. The spacetime fluctuations in Xishan and the Rainbow Magic Realm in the natural scenic area half a month ago are from the same energy system!"

However, the two are completely different in nature.

Previously, the Rainbow Wonderland in the natural scenic area had gentle fluctuations and was a relatively static spatial residual crack that would not actively expand, with only a small area of ​​spatial overlap.

At this moment, the temporal and spatial fluctuations in Xishan are extremely aggressive.

Not only is it spreading outwards at a visible speed, but it's even pulling at spatial fluctuations left behind by the spatial rift from afar, as well as the Rainbow Wonderland in the original natural scenic area, forcibly dragging it towards the Western Hills!

The situation instantly escalated from an ordinary spatial anomaly to a global-scale premonition of a spacetime catastrophe.

Captain Sato's expression turned completely serious. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately activated the highest-level regional disaster response plan and simultaneously submitted an urgent report to his superiors.

"Immediately activate the evacuation order for the entire area within a three-kilometer radius of the affected area, evacuate all residents near Xishan, block all entrances to the mountain, and prohibit all personnel and vehicles from approaching the abnormal area!"

A series of orders were quickly issued, and the CEA ground evacuation team, patrol team, and emergency rescue team were all mobilized to carry out emergency evacuation work in various suburban areas. The originally quiet suburban morning was instantly turned into an emergency disaster prevention state.

While the evacuation efforts are proceeding in an orderly manner, the changes in nature continue to escalate.

The clouds gathered rapidly in the sky, completely obscuring the dawn light, turning day into night in an instant.

Boom—!

A thunderous roar erupted, and blue lightning struck straight down into the unusual airspace above the western mountains.

As lightning struck, the spacetime disorder in the entire area completely spiraled out of control, with real matter and matter from another dimension beginning to frantically intermingle and replace each other.

In the distance, the wreckage of an old-fashioned civilian airliner, long retired, suddenly appeared out of nowhere in an open space. Half of the fuselage was stuck diagonally into the ground. The abandoned construction tower crane by the roadside disappeared without a trace, replaced by an old ship anchor chain from decades ago.

The terrifying scenes of temporal and spatial displacement and material disorder are constantly unfolding throughout the Xishan area.

Inside the command center, Sakata stared intently at the screen, holding his breath. He knew clearly that this was no longer a simple spatial remnant anomaly, but an existence with extremely strong spacetime interference, actively tearing apart the barriers of the present world.

Just then, a second, even more dazzling bolt of thunder ripped through the dark sky, illuminating the entire western mountain airspace.

In the instant the lightning exploded brilliantly, deep within the clouds, the enormous, monstrous figure was clearly outlined by the lightning.

The enormous body stood deep within the spacetime rift, surrounded by chaotic and distorted spatial currents, disappearing amidst the dark clouds and lightning before vanishing in an instant.

It is not a natural phenomenon.

It's a monster!

The truth has finally come to light.

The moment it was confirmed that the monster was responsible, Sakata immediately retrieved all the experimental data from the previous Rainbow Magic Realm experiments and conducted simulations and comparisons. In just a few minutes, a targeted tactical model was quickly formed.

"Captain, we've confirmed that the energy in both spatial rifts originates from the same source!"

Sakata quickly reported his deduction conclusions, his tone firm and urgent:

"Based on the comparison, the spatial properties of the Rainbow Realm and the current Time-Space Realm are exactly the same. We can open this Time-Space Realm in the same way we opened the Rainbow Realm!"

It involves simultaneously bombarding two completely opposite, positive-negative extreme energies to forcibly tear open this spacetime boundary!

The moment the barrier shatters, the monster will fully reveal itself, allowing us to launch an annihilation operation!

The atmosphere in the command room was extremely tense.

The evacuation of people outside the venue continues, the spatial-temporal disorder within the city is intensifying, the spatial collapse of the entire land is expanding, and within 48 hours, the spatial-temporal boundary may spread to the whole world!

Therefore, they must race against time!

Captain Sato stared at the chaos in the spacetime realm on the screen and said in a deep voice:

"All personnel prepare for battle! Get your bipolar counter-energy weapons ready, lock onto the core of the West Mountain spacetime rift, and wait for the right moment to force out the monsters!" Captain Sato paused for a moment, then continued, "Let these monsters witness the power of our Dragon Might after its modification."

"clear!"

Watching the fighter jets take off from the base, Sirius, who was hiding in the clouds, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that the defense forces of this world would not be able to analyze the Golden Dragon King's spacetime realm, so he came to check on the situation.

However, the defense force of this world immediately discovered that the nature of this spacetime was the same as that of the Rainbow Magic Mirror. As long as two opposing energies were used to strike the monster's phantom, the monster could be made to emerge from the spacetime realm and appear in person.

Sirius had originally planned that if they still didn't realize it, he would transform into a waiting person and go in to remind them. After all, the Golden Dragon King couldn't be slow, otherwise his strength would only increase as his spacetime realm expanded.

But now that the defense forces have realized it, I can finally rest assured.

The author's writing skills are really lacking. Originally, I wanted to write a classic chapter like "A Smile That Transcends Time and Space," but I just couldn't capture that feeling. After thinking it over, I decided to give up on writing a personal chapter for the female lead in this chapter and move it to a later chapter.

To express my gratitude, I will also be adding an extra chapter later. Thank you all so much for your feedback.
