God after all

Chapter 153 The Destruction of the Forgotten City

Muchel closed the door, leaving White Rose alone.

She lay quietly on the big white and flawless bed, with a peaceful face as if she was asleep.

The place at the end of the bed was illuminated by the sunlight from the window, and the shadow of the easy chair was cast on the shiny floor.

Compared with the vigor and splendor of spring in the land of the realm, the redwood forest outside is bathed in the twilight of morning light.

The night recedes and the light of day ushers in.The world that has been silent for a long time is waking up, and the hustle and bustle is gradually recovering.

In just a few days, the city of Jiuhua in the King's Landing Kingdom seemed to have returned to the appearance it had been devastated by the divine disaster.

The curse of the black fire disappeared without a sound.People who had fled came back from all directions, and they all flooded the streets and alleys.

The city is crowded with people, and the water is blocked and there is no way to go.

People held their breath and watched the TV news broadcast on the big outdoor screen in silence—the fall of the Forgotten City!

When it comes to the dreaded Forgotten City, no one can sit still, because it's where all the misfortunes start.

In the winter of 2999, the night travel of the black cat triggered a holy disaster that swept across the world.

Humanity has struggled to quell the chaos of the Forgotten City and the disasters that threaten the rest of the world.

Although the death caused by the holy disaster was finally suppressed and the probability of death was effectively reduced, it did not mean that the weeds were completely eradicated.

Human beings are always out of breath, and no one can come out of the shadow of the divine disaster.

Now, this shadow that the world will remember for a lifetime has caused a new disturbance—on the evening of December 3003, 12, last night, a mysterious beam of light from the sky reached the Forgotten City, and the burst of white light once flooded the outside world.

At four o'clock in the morning, the white light dissipated, and the turmoil in the Forgotten City returned to calm.

Until it was just dawn, there were still countless human beings rushing towards the Forgotten City.

Countless helicopters hovered in the sky, and the whistling sound of the rotating wings organized into a majestic movement.

The people gathered on the land looked up at the sky, and felt that the sky above them was covered by the magical bird-like helicopter boundlessly, spreading all the way to the Forgotten City.

The outside world of the Forgotten City has long been filled with dense crowds, all curiously watching this earth-shattering change.

They didn't see the existence of the superheat barrier at all, and even the steel city, which was said to be comparable to the city wall of the heavens, collapsed inconceivably.

Ever since the beam of light descended from last night and set off a white glow all over the sky, the eyes of the people far away have nothing but blankness. They don't know what will happen in Forgotten, they can only hear the loud roar of thunder.

Hundreds of members of the Holy Spirit Knights arranged formations to guard the inner circle of the Iron City, preventing outsiders from entering.

There are endless onlookers who are blocked outside, unable to enter, so they have to guard the broken city wall and refuse to leave. They move high and low ladders one by one to build the city wall, boldly climb up the ladder, and poke their heads out of curiosity Wait and see and forget.

The onlookers closest to Iron City are only a small part, but the number of them is no less than [-]. It can be seen that this giant city surrounded by a circle is extremely huge.

The surrounding area is also full of people, all kinds of people are crowded in all directions, what's more, they stand on the high roof and look at the inside of the steel city.

"Ashan, come down quickly, you climbed too high, what should you do if you fall down?"

The aunt's voice yelled in worry several times in the city, but the boy didn't seem to hear it, and stared blankly at the devastated Forgotten City.

Since the winter of 2999, this place has fallen, turned into a wasteland, and now there is nothing.

Looking at it from a distance, the houses left behind by some kind of force were razed to the ground by some unknown force, and the ruins were covered and piled up all over the place.

The place of death was not called the place of death before, it has a sacred and beautiful name - Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss!It has been a prosperous place since ancient times.

But since the outbreak of the holy disaster and then subsided, this place has been dubbed the "place of death" by the world.

The Iron City was quickly established in early January 3000. It is said that the lord of the country who gave the order borrowed the power of God to facilitate this arduous project to be completed in less than a month.

The superheat barrier was also set up at that time.

The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss imprisoned by Iron City has become a secondary mutation area next to the taboo area. There are immeasurable virus-infected people and lurking blood demons. There are also rumors that members of the dark nobles are also mixed in it.

The purpose of building the city is obvious, to isolate the people of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss from the outside world and to curb the spread of disasters.

Such a method of captivity was imitated many times by the countries of the Quartet.

Iron City is also known as the second defense system after the forbidden area Tongtian Shenzhu.

This is a very frightening situation. The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is imprisoned by the Iron City, and the living people inside cannot get out just like the living people in the taboo area. The innocent people almost have only a dead end.

Since the three giant airships, the Monarch, fell in the forbidden area, the government seems to have given up on the pure land of bliss and the forbidden area, and is no longer willing to openly rescue them.

At that time, only a few members of the Knights of the Holy Spirit stepped in, hunting blood demons and even infected human mutants on a large scale, while leading the living people to hide in a safe place.

Those war-torn days became a horrible nightmare that the rest of the survivors will never forget in their lifetime.

The outside world calls this place - the former Samantabhadra Pearl as the "Forgotten City", the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss as the "Place of Death", and Fengxin District has become a "Forbidden Area".

The war was not subsided until July 3001, but it was not completely over yet. The few surviving Gorefiends were carefully hidden and are still being cleaned up by the armies of various countries.

Even if the war is eased and subsided, some people who barely survived in the place of death still have no freedom and are not allowed to live in the outside world, and outsiders do not want to accept them out of fear.

So they lingered on until the winter of 3003, until the terrifying reverse cross fell from the sky, and they were accidentally released by the government army from the cage of Iron City, and they can live normally in the outside world.

"Ashan, you have to be obedient and get off the ladder quickly. There are too many people here, let's go home."

The aunt in the city had her seven-month-old daughter in her arms in her sling, and her voice was gentle and soothing to the boy climbing the high wall.

The boy wiped his eyes and wiped away the tears all over his face with his sleeve, but for some reason, the tears kept flowing in his eyes, and he couldn't wipe them clean.

He was only ten years old and had witnessed the most terrifying hell on earth. Although he survived by chance, he lost his parents in the war, leaving only his aunt.

My aunt's husband died of a serious illness. From then on, my aunt took him and her daughter who could not walk.

The boy was young, but his eyes had an expression of pain and loneliness that did not match his age, and there was sadness on his frowning little face.

He looked at the Forgotten City, and the nostalgia, reluctance and loneliness in his eyes all turned into sorrow and pain that went straight to the bottom of his heart.

Climbing down a large part of the collapsed city wall, he walked down step by step on a ladder more than six meters high, and stood on the ground.

Aunt took his little hand, peeled away the crowded crowd, and told him to follow closely so as not to get lost.

"You said, is the masked brother also forgetting the city?"

"Don't mention this unlucky person."

Hearing his aunt's tone of disgust, the boy lowered his eyes in desolation.

"Why do everyone hate Brother Mask? Everyone was not like this before."

The aunt ignored it and just held the boy's hand tightly.

"Brother Mask is a great hero in my heart! He saved many people. If he hadn't helped me back then, I would have died in the war."
