"Belore did you forget about us, and can't even recognize us, we just became younger?"
"That tone, that face, you are Layla and you are Liam, what the hell happened?"
"I changed the body, and she mutated."
"Can someone even do that?"
"We did." Replied Layla smugly.
"Sit down, tea or coffee."
"Coffee, and make it strong with a lot of sugar and milk, I need to stay awake, there is a lot of chaos in the capital."
"AISAR, make two cups of coffee and a black tea for Layla."
"Right away, sir."
Liam, Layla, and Belore sat around the coffee table in the office to entertain guests upon their visit. And a robot on wheels bought the beverages on a tray on top of him to serve.
"Sir, your drinks are ready."
"AISAR is amazing, I want one like him."
"Thank you for the praise, Belore, I hear it every time."
"Why are you grinning? What amazing is AISAR, not you." Layla reprimanded Liam.
"But I made him; he is my creation, so I have the right to be smug about it." Liam gleefully replied.
"Liam, I need your help. The situation outside is deteriorating rapidly, and before coming to, I got confirmation that Mount Tambora erupted, and experts are giving estimates that the whole world will be covered in ash in 5 months, and it will stay like that for 10 years."
"The god clans escaped the plane through interplane teleportation magic, the whole eleven forest disappeared, living behind a huge pit. Dwarves also fled back to their sanctuary underground. I have received no reports from Grassland about beastmen and greenskins. And many earthquakes are happening around the continent, and I have no reports from other continents."
Just as he said, the entire building shook.
"Under the table, right now."
They waited with their bated breath, and after 10 seconds it stopped.
"AISAR, status report?"
"Sir, the structural integrity of the building has been compromised and dropped to 75%, and all systems are still operational at average capacity."
"What about the capital?"
"Sir, many buildings have collapsed, and the drainage system in various sectors has sunk, and due to this, buildings above them are in a very dangerous situation, and the whole slum district has been flattened due to the earthquake."
"It finally happened, what I feared." Belore despaired.
"Why is your building still intact?"
"I renovated and reinforced the building myself. I reinforced your building, too, Layla."
"After this earthquake, my lab might have been destroyed."
"I need to go out and asses the situation, Liam, Layla I need your help so came to invite you to headquarter day after this evening 8'o clock, I have invited all the influential people in the capital who has not run away."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Belore ran out of the building, and also trying to reach his subordinate on a walkie-talkie and employing all magical artifacts on himself, he flew toward the knight's headquarters.
Liam and Layla also ran outside to look for survivors after the earthquake.
Liam has smart glasses connected to AISAR on his eyes. Through AISAR's advanced computing ability, he advises Liam on the optimal way to clear the wreckage and save people buried under it.
Small debris he picks up, bigger debris he breaks.
On the side, Layla was instructing the crowd to search for survivors for rescue.
All around them were children crying, Many orphaned because their parents protected them with their bodies. Many lost their partners and friends, it was a very heartbreaking scene.
Only the buildings that were standing are reinforced with damping construction, or the buildings with a magical technique woven into their foundation.
That's why 6 mage towers were still standing, along with the church and buildings owned by wealthy individuals.
This is truly a hellscape, where the wealthy and privileged class survive, and poor citizens, slum dwellers, are suffering. If the capital is harrowing, what about other places?
