Arknights' Lock of Heaven

But who in this world can truly not hope for miracles to happen?

"Will there really be a natural disaster?" The Radiant Knight walked up to her, saying worriedly, "It's not that I don't believe in the messenger of natural disasters, it's just..."

The surrounding area didn't look like a place where a natural disaster could occur.

Placing all hope in an uncertain natural disaster is far too risky.

There is not much time to waste in this operation.

“It will happen,” Kal'tsit nodded, noticing the questioning looks from the operators around her.

I'm really crazy.

-

Natural disasters will happen.

Even if it doesn't exist, Xia Yu will make it appear where it should.

As is well known, most Terrans live in mobile cities, large or small, which are their Noah's Ark for survival and to combat natural disasters.

However, this also raises a problem: not all locations can support mobile city mobility.

Therefore, the territories of the Terran kingdoms are very different from those of the previous world.

Everything is divided by the navigable waterways.

Why has Lungmen become Terra's economic center?

Because it is located on the most prosperous shipping route.

People coming from the south and going to the north will pass through here. If you don't prosper, who will?

Xia Yu's original plan was to turn the waterway upside down. If you're not going to stop, then you'd better go down into the pit!

However, he discovered something interesting among some of the little trinkets he had left behind in Longmen.

Having discovered Talulah's situation, Xia Yu, who had been using Koschche as a whetstone, could not simply let him disappear from her sight.

To be honest, the surveillance techniques provided by Chaldea are really useful.

Fujimaru Ritsuka is forever a goddess!

Xia Yu received countless good things from her.

This includes this set of techniques.

Do you really think he sat in the square with Talulah in front of tens of thousands of people for half a day and did nothing?

Because of the different systems, no one in the entire core city could discover it.

Then Xia Yu discovered something interesting.

First, Talulah cleared out a corner of the core city, a block or two, to house some special 'infected' people.

All civilians there were dispersed, including the Patriots' Shield Guards, and the guerrillas were not allowed to enter without cause.

Therefore, Xia Yu focused his observations on that place.

It turned out that those so-called infected were all elites of the Ursus Third Army.

Gee tut.

This is probably Talulah's, no, Koschke's, backup plan.

It was intended as a precaution, originally meant to deal with the Patriot and his guerrillas.

But the weapons and ammunition piled up in several warehouses, the various pieces of equipment that looked intimidating, and the manpower that had suddenly increased several times over...

Is it meant to be used against oneself?

The Patriots' guerrillas couldn't withstand such heavy firepower.

The additional personnel were all elites among elites, and there were even some internal guards among them.

Such a commotion could not possibly go unnoticed by the patriots' guerrilla forces.

The deployment of defenses shows that they have been on high alert for these suddenly appearing 'infected' individuals.

The core city is also divided into three factions.

First, there were Talulah and the Sarkaz mercenaries, plus the elite troops of the Third Army.

Secondly, there were patriots and his disciplined guerrilla forces, as well as those willing to follow him.

Thirdly, there are the ordinary infected individuals who have been misled and incited by Talulah.

Undercurrents were swirling throughout the core city.

Even without this 'meteorite', if Rhodes Island had followed the original landing plan, the major battle with the Patriots probably wouldn't have happened.

Because Kosic has no intention of hiding it anymore.

Not to mention that Frostnova is still on Rhodes Island, waiting for her elderly father to wake her up.

So now it's all up to you.

Thousands of meters in the air, Xia Yu looked down and saw that the core city of Chernobog was no bigger than the palm of his hand.

Under these circumstances, it would be difficult to accurately strike the location of the Third Army.

Xia Yu had been eyeing it for a long time.

Then I gave up.

Switch directly to manual control!

[Pseudo-Spirit Origin - Ishtar: Loading]

[Ma Anna is manifesting]

Ma Anna, dressed in gold and blue, appeared behind Xia Yu.

[Noble Phantasm - Mountain Shattering Star's Fuel - Unveiling]

The next step is to acquire the concept of Venus and put it into Maanna's missile bay as a conceptual planet, ready for launch.

There is no Venus in this world?

It's alright, the earth has accepted us, so all Noble Phantasms will be localized.

If there's no Venus, just choose another planet.

Xia Yu randomly chose the brightest planet in the sun's orbit. He didn't know what it was called on Terra; he only knew that it would work.

She loaded the mini-planet concept into Maanna's magazine and aimed it at the location of the core city.

[Noble Phantasm - Mountain Shock, Star's Fuel - Fully Unleashed]

“From the great heavens to the great earth,” Xia Yu said softly, “let’s make a scene.”

"Mountain-shaking star salary!"

Truly powerful words don't need to be shouted out.

In his soft whisper, Venus, or rather, the concept of an unknown planet, trailed a long tail, piercing the sky and heading towards the earth.

"Natural disaster!!!"

In the command center of the core city, a Reunion member roared with fury, "A meteorite has been observed to suddenly coalesce and is hurtling towards the city!!!"

"Speed...speed...there's no way to dodge it!!!"

"This is?"

In Rhodes Island's temporary camp, Kal'tsit led everyone up to watch the golden trail streak across the sky.

Further away, Wei Yanwu, who was leading the men in black cloaks and planning to take over if Rhodes Island failed, was also watching.

Further away, there were spies from the Great Yan, the guards of Ursus, and the eyes and ears of the nobles...

We can only watch.

They watched as the meteorite flew towards the core city that had witnessed countless conspiracies, schemes, and power struggles among them.

The moment the golden trajectory touched the ground, there was complete silence, followed by a deafening roar.

A mushroom cloud, churning with flames, rose into the sky, announcing its existence to the world.

71. Koschke never truly acknowledged Xia Yu.

"That's it?" Wei Yanwu watched the rising mushroom cloud from afar, and his pipe fell to the ground with a thud.

"It's over just like that?" He looked somewhat dazed; it all happened so suddenly that he wasn't prepared at all.

I was prepared to die here...

Why? Why would such a large meteorite suddenly appear?

It even precisely bombarded a corner of the core city? It blasted a huge hole in the shipping lane, so even if the core city can still move, it can't continue advancing towards Lungmen?

Could it be that I am the legendary chosen one, destined to turn misfortune into good fortune and overcome adversity?

Wei Yanwu's thoughts were a bit chaotic. Even an old dragon who had controlled the Dragon Gate for so many years was at a loss when faced with such a sudden situation.
