Doomsday

While Tessa was busy notifying everyone, the entire Savage Land welcomed the apocalypse. Lightning flashed, thunder roared, fierce winds and hailstorms raged, the earth split apart, and towering waves crashed.

The sky above the Savage Land was an artificial creation made by aliens in imitation of Earth’s atmosphere, like an enormous dome covering the entire Savage Land. But at that moment, countless fine cracks spread across the dome. Amid endless lightning, fragments continually fell, smashing into the ground and instantly leaving craters dozens of meters deep!

The Savage Land was a vast continent surrounded by an immense ocean. At that moment, the once-calm sea suddenly went mad. Waves dozens of meters high surged one after another, crashing against the continent of the Savage Land. Countless coastal regions were wiped out as though a tsunami had swept through!

The entire continent was like glass struck by a hammer. Huge fissures ran from the surface deep into the earth, while the raging seawater relentlessly battered the shattered landmasses through those cracks. In the end, the whole intact continent would become scattered, isolated islands—or sink silently beneath the raging waves.

The remaining Descendants of Atlantis on the plains fled in panic and desperation, but where could they possibly run? Basketball-sized hail fell from the sky, earthquakes shook the ground without pause, collapses could occur at any moment, and a single wave at sea could destroy even the strongest ironclad ship in the world! With nowhere to escape, the Descendants of Atlantis could only pray that their gods would take pity on them.

In the forest, wildfires sprang up everywhere for no apparent reason. Even beneath the hailstorm, they showed no signs of weakening. Instead, the gale only fed the flames, and in the blink of an eye, the immense primeval forest was about to be completely set ablaze. Countless savages and beasts living in the forest scrambled toward the swamp. Unfortunately, aside from the flying Pterodactyl-men and birds, along with a small number of other fortunate savages and beasts, the vast majority of creatures in the forest perished in the inferno!

But when those lucky survivors reached the swamp, they discovered that it had already become a vast ocean. Countless Swamp People corpses floated atop the churning waters.

With nowhere left to go, the savages and beasts fell into complete despair. Quite a few chose an extreme path, ignoring the blazing fire before them as they turned and charged back into the forest. Others chose to walk into the ocean, but only death awaited them.

As they watched the crazed savages and beasts struggle desperately in the flames and the ocean, only to be inevitably devoured by both, the remaining savages and beasts grew even more agitated. Some even began killing one another.

Just then, a loud boom rang out. Every person and beast froze, then turned to look. It was the Floating Giant Island hanging above the great lake. Amid the apocalyptic scene, only the Floating Giant Island remained standing firm. A transparent Force Field shut out everything beyond it. In an instant, the once-despairing savages and beasts seemed to see hope.

The surviving savages and beasts did not fight over it. Even their old grudges vanished into thin air, and they instead began helping one another. Those who could fly carried those who could not, struggling toward the Floating Giant Island.

Meanwhile, the Floating Giant Island was already packed to capacity. As far as the eye could see, the ground was nowhere in sight—there was nothing but heads of every kind.

"Alex, the Floating Giant Island can’t hold anymore!" After some time to recover, Emma had regained consciousness. She was now doing everything she could to maintain order on the Floating Giant Island. Though it was enormous, cramming more than a million people onto it at once was still too much. Even the Floating Giant Island itself was beginning to fail under the strain.

Alex gripped the Tesseract in his hand, his gaze sweeping across the crowd. A trace of worry—and regret—flashed across his face. If he had known this would happen, he should not have softened his heart and saved those Descendants of Atlantis.

As soon as the Savage Land began to deteriorate and Alex ordered Tessa to notify everyone to return to the Floating Giant Island, he deliberately retrieved the Tesseract stored there. Even with the help of people with teleportation abilities, relocating hundreds of thousands of people could never have been completed in such a short time.

But with the Tesseract’s power enhancing him, Alex’s Teleportation had undergone a tremendous improvement. That was how he had managed to move all the mutants scattered outside back to the Floating Giant Island in such a short time.

Yet during the process of relocating the mutants, Alex inevitably encountered some Descendants of Atlantis. Seeing their miserable state, he had softened at the time, which led to the Floating Giant Island becoming so overcrowded now.

"Crystal, take several people who can manipulate earth and stone or are skilled at construction, and quickly carve out some underground space!" But things had already come to this. Alex could not exactly drive them out. The most important thing now was to leave the Savage Land as soon as possible. The Savage Land was on the verge of collapse, and Alex had already noticed signs that the Floating Giant Island was beginning to collapse as well. It was best to leave early.

At Alex’s side, Crystal received his order, turned, and left. More than a dozen people voluntarily followed after her.

Not long after Crystal left, Emma suddenly spoke again, her voice full of surprise. "Alex, look over there!"

Alex turned at her words, and an astonishing sight appeared before him.

A large group of Pterodactyl-men and quite a few birds were flying unsteadily toward the Floating Giant Island, carrying all kinds of savages on their backs and in their claws.

"Looks like they’re here to take shelter too." Tessa held an instrument panel and raised it before Alex. Her expression was grave. "In the Floating Giant Island’s current state, it can hold out for ten minutes at most. After ten minutes, it will fall."

After a brief pause, Tessa glanced at the Pterodactyl-men who were already flying closer. With a faint note of warning in her voice, she slowly said, "As for the Floating Giant Island’s Force Field, it will disappear in five minutes. Of course, if you want to let them in, it will disappear now!"

Alex frowned slightly. Looking at the increasingly exhausted Pterodactyl-men, a trace of pain crossed his face before it was replaced by resolve. "They suffered this undeserved disaster because of us. We can’t leave them to die!" Without waiting for Tessa to respond, Alex continued, "Besides, we don’t need to deactivate the Force Field to let them in. Have Crystal bore through the Floating Island and let them enter from below!"

"Fine, that was clever of you!" Tessa was slightly stunned. Though somewhat unwilling, she could not help admiring Alex for remaining so calm and quick-witted under such circumstances. Even she, with a mind said to be like a computer, was feeling a little flustered now!

Alex gave a bitter smile. After using telepathy to relay the message to the Pterodactyl-men outside and Crystal, who was preparing the underground space, he slowly lowered his head, seeming to ponder something.

Seeing that Alex remained motionless for so long, Tessa grew worried and reminded him, "There isn’t much time. How are you planning to take us…" She paused slightly, pointing at the crowded masses outside and the enormous Floating Giant Island. Her expression was grave, with a trace of doubt. "And the entire Floating Giant Island out?"
