#933 - Sinking...
For a time, it seemed the entire world was shaking.
Mountains cracked, the earth sank, seawater poured in, and lava erupted!
The two figures who had been fiercely battling in the sky above seemed to sense the inappropriateness of their surroundings. Although their attacks continued, they were no longer as ferocious as before.
From time to time, they would divert some of their attention to observe the surrounding environment.
However, this was ultimately not the focus of their attention.
The selection competition itself was their purpose for being here!
If the original battlefield was compromised, they could simply find another place.
In short, the entire main island of the island nation was slowly sliding towards the Pacific Ocean...
After the main axis of support and connection, namely the submarine mountain ranges extending from the neighboring continent, was severed, the main island began to slide irreversibly towards the depths of the eastern ocean.
If the island nation itself had flat terrain and a stable foundation, it would have been fine.
Even if the submarine mountain range were cut off, it would not cause much of a consequence. At most, there would be a few more earthquakes of uncertain magnitude, but this country is prone to earthquakes anyway.
Unfortunately, the island nation itself was unlucky, located at the junction of the continental and oceanic plates, and under the accumulation and pressure of the two, it had already formed tremendous pressure on the island nation and its surrounding areas.
In this situation, Liang Yue's act of cutting off the submarine mountain range on the west side was like the last two bundles of straw that broke the camel's back.
Think about it, if someone is already on the edge of a cliff, with half of their body hanging in the air, and then you help them cut off the lifeline behind them.
In this case, their fate is inevitable.
And so, Ilya and others saw such a scene on the panoramic sandbox.
The entire main island of the island nation, and even the other three islands above and below, were slowly shifting eastward, and the horizontal elevation of the western region was rising, while the eastern coastal areas were constantly sinking!
Of course, since the main island itself was not small, the speed of this overall shift seemed to be not very high from the sandbox, but it still could not escape Xiao Wu's precise calculations!
If one were to observe from the actual geographical environment, the effect would be even more direct.
For example, right now~
Boom~~~
Accompanied by a thunderous roar, Fuyuki City, which was originally on the edge of the island, was instantly swept away by a large amount of seawater, like a huge mouth connecting to the sky!
Chaotic waves roared past with the howling wind, pouring in from the vast ocean!
After successively suffering from the aftermath of the battle, reckless energy absorption, and the ravages of the earthquake, the Fuyuki City ruins, which were already scarred and turned into a desert, were mixed into a puddle of muddy water in just a moment.
Looking out from the Einzbern family's castle, behind the mountains, the once prosperous and peaceful coastal town had completely sunk at this moment!
The rolling turbid waves constantly lapped against the surrounding hills.
In the sky above, the surging dark clouds and violent lightning intertwined, and in the sea, there was still dark red magma spewing and surging from time to time.
It was truly a scene of doomsday!
The undulating mountains in the farther distance were collapsing in patches, accompanied by the increasingly violent earthquake!
Large amounts of smoke and gravel were swept by the wind, constantly flying in the air, colliding and rubbing against each other, making a wailing sound!
Only the castle where the group was located, and the surrounding forest sea within a radius of dozens of miles, were slightly more settled under Liang Yue's protection.
It was like a glass greenhouse located in the middle of a typhoon.
Safety was temporarily worry-free, but it could not withstand the surrounding environment of heaven and earth collapsing.
So, Liang Yue raised his sleeve in the next moment.
In an instant, accompanied by the surging of golden-purple brilliance, the entire surrounding forest sea, hills, and the castle beneath him suddenly rose from the ground.
Carrying a foundation of dozens of miles in radius and more than a thousand meters up and down, it flew steadily into the air.
"You three, stay in the Scripture World for the time being. If you want to know the situation outside, just call out softly."
Liang Yue turned his head at this time, looked at Ilya and the two maids beside her, and said with a smile.
After that, he packed the three of them, as well as the surrounding area that was wrapped up, and sent them into the Scripture World together.
The location was right next to the hill near the Tree of Life where the Star Spirit tribe rested.
After the Holy Grail was artificially destroyed, the contractual restraints that originally existed due to the summoning ceremony and other things have now disappeared almost completely.
Therefore, Ilya no longer had to stay by his side as before.
When the two were fighting before, the two high school students from the island nation who were the Masters of the two seemed to not be following. I just don't know if the two of them were hidden away by them, or if they are no longer...
Soon, in just over ten seconds, Liang Yue's mind received Ilya's call, who had just moved in and landed.
So, with a thought, in the next moment, a mirror similar to a village communication platform video window appeared in front of this little girl.
Through this mirror, she could peek at the outside world together with Liang Yue, the Scripture contract master.
Moreover, to some extent, this mirror extending from the Scripture World seemed to be a little more user-friendly than the village platform.
At least in terms of observation perspective, it could freely switch between the current scene and the two levels of sharing vision with Liang Yue.
From here, it could also be seen that the grade of the Summoning Scripture itself was definitely not low!
"Now, Little Earth and Little Fire have consciously started fighting. The remaining Little Water, Little Gold, and me, are we just going to watch from the sidelines like this?"
Liang Yue at this moment, just floated quietly in the sky above where the castle used to be. The newly excavated pit with a diameter of dozens of miles and a depth of thousands of meters under his feet was gradually being filled with surging waves.
As of now, the five members of the selection competition on this arena have all arrived, and the five swords each have their own owners.
Little Earth and Little Fire are in the middle of a fierce battle, and Little Water is still hiding on the moon without any movement.
Little Gold, who had never shown his face, was also very straightforward. Not long after appearing, he took his Master and left Fuyuki City openly. He was currently in the prosperous Edo area.
While hiding among the people, he was secretly recovering his strength.
Whether intentionally or coincidentally, the five people on the Holy Grail arena in front of them corresponded to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth in terms of their respective power attribute preferences.
They restrain each other, and they just happen to perfectly match the previous five swords...
As Liang Yue's restraining party, Little Gold over there didn't seem to have any intention of taking action against him.
At this moment, even the violently shaking earth under his feet, the pouring seawater, and Mount Fuji erupting not far away in Tokyo could not disturb his good appetite. In front of him was a pot of Oden, and he was sitting on a hilltop eating it with relish.
However, the way Little Gold used to recover his strength was a bit subtle. Even without Liang Yue's actions to cut off the submarine ley lines, the entire metropolitan area where he was located was in great trouble because of him.
