A crack appeared in the sky. As the crack was connected to the three thousand Sealed Realms, the Outsiders started descending on Earth.
Upon seeing this, James’ expression turned grim.
The Calamity was here.
“Darling…”
The two were in the courtyard of the villa.
Upon seeing the fissure in the sky and the figures emerging from within, Thea gripped James’ arm and said anxiously, “Th-There are so many of them… This isn’t good news for us…”
James took a deep breath.
“Since this has already happened, we can only take things one step at a time.”
James knew this day would come eventually. For this day, favonovel.com had made a lot of preparations. However, now that the day had arrived, favonovel.com realized that his efforts were for naught.
“What should we do?”
Thea grabbed James’ arm and asked, “What should we do now?”
James shook his head slightly and said, “I don’t know either. There’s nothing much we can do at the moment. We don’t know how strong these Outsiders are. As such, we can only stay put and observe the situation.”
“Yeah…” Thea nodded.
Then, the two returned to their room.
Upon leaving the balcony, they were surrounded by the Callahans, who had been waiting outside.
Lex said, “James, Thea, surely you two understand what’s going on. What was the black rain last night? Who were those Outsiders who came in through the fissure in the sky? What’s going on exactly? Has the seal been released?”
The Callahans looked at Thea and James and waited for their response.
The Callahans were now a martial family. As they had consumed the dragon’s blood, they were rather strong. Even when put in comparison with the wider ancient martial world, they were. considered a powerful family. As such, they had a lot of insider information unbeknownst to the public. However, even they had no idea what was going on at the moment.
Looking at the Callahans, James answered honestly, “Last night’s rain is one of the Calamities before the seal comes undone. This means that the apocalypse is upon us.”
Then, James began stating the rules.
One, they would have to remain indoors at all times.
Two, they would have to spend all their money on food and store the food away.
Three, they would have to increase their cultivation base as much as possible.
That was because might makes right during a calamity like this.
James told them the rules with a grim expression on his face.
Upon hearing what favonovel.com had to say, the Callahans remained silent.
After some time, Lex sighed deeply. “What the hell is going on? How did our world turn out this way? The apocalypse came faster than I anticipated…”
“Alright now, as I have important work to do, I shouldn’t linger here for long. I should return to Wrymstead as soon as possible.”
Now, James had to return to Wrymstead and stabilize the situation as soon as possible to prevent a total collapse. That was because following the rain’s emergence, many hospitals around the world were at full capacity.
In just one night, millions had perished in the hands of an unknown virus. As such, many countries and regions had begun losing control. As the realization that the Calamity was upon humankind sank in, crime rates spiked everywhere.
James wanted to construct a country free of outside threats. He did not wish for this to happen in Wrymstead. After all, this would be against his primary reason for establishing Wrymstead.
“Let me go with you, Darling.”
