"In a week?" Elysia blinked, startled. Naturally, Herta had also halted her data collection efforts. No matter how she looked at it, this accelerated disaster must somehow be connected to her.
"What kind of disaster did you see?" Elysia asked.
The Prophet frowned deeply, her face etched with terror. "I saw... a pitch-black sky blotting out the sun. The entire planet shattered into fragments. And somehow, this disaster—the one in a week—feels far more terrifying than the ones I prophesied for three years from now or one year from now!"
Now that she thought about it, since Herta had always considered the source of the Dimensional Rift to be an "infection source," it stood to reason that any ordinary person who got too close would become severely contaminated.
Could Herta's attempt to enter the Rift's source itself be akin to the Main World touching the infection source, leading to its violent contamination and triggering the disaster the Prophet had foreseen?
The first disaster the Prophet prophesied, three years from now, coincided with Robin's arrival in this world. This seemed like a natural progression—the world's condition gradually worsening, succumbing to illness like countless other worlds.
The Prophet's second prophecy, one year later, occurred shortly after Herta's brief appearance. At that time, Herta had just created the Little Herta Puppet and hadn't yet begun researching Dimensional Rift phenomena. Moreover, Herta's boundless inspiration was interfering with the Prophet's ability. Could this "one year" refer to Herta's gradual study of Dimensional Rifts, slowly dragging the entire world into the Abyss?
Even so, the Prophet's ability still misjudged Herta. It wasn't until today, when Herta stood "Before the Source," that the Prophet's ability finally delivered an accurate prophecy: in one week, the world would shatter into pieces.
But why one week? Was it because she would enter the source of the Dimensional Rift in exactly one week? Conversely, could she find a way to prevent the Main World's destruction within that week?
Returning to the first prophecy, the Prophet seemed to have hinted that Robin could save the world. In hindsight, this might indeed be possible—by harnessing the power of the Harmony Emanator!
Herta had long known how to summon a Harmony Emanator, but until now, the need hadn't arisen. Given the timeline, a week of preparation seems sufficient.
"I see..." Elysia nodded, turning to the Prophet. "I know how to protect this world from the impending disaster!"
The Prophet gasped. "What is it?!"
"We'll hold a Robin concert on a global scale!" Elysia declared.
The Prophet blinked in disbelief. "Huh?"
But it was true. This was the method to summon the Harmony Emanator, Dominicus. When the collective wishes of countless living beings converged, Dominicus could be born, and his abilities were perfectly suited to the current crisis.
Herta, another Harmony Emanator, might be able to develop a planet-shattering weapon in short order, but she couldn't counter this mysterious disaster that was tearing the planet apart with an unknown force.
Dominicus, however, drew his power from the fervent prayers of all living beings. By filling the concert with songs of hope and unity, creating an atmosphere of global harmony, and ensuring every fan wished for the world's well-being, Dominicus could gain the great power to protect the entire planet, perhaps even the entire Solar System.
Elysia was still pondering whether a live stream alone would be enough to achieve the desired impact. Perhaps she truly needed to hold a massive number of concerts simultaneously across the globe. But was that even possible?
Yes, it was. Thanks to Sparkle's ability, manifesting a thousand and one Robins at once wouldn't be difficult. Moreover, there wouldn't be any concerns about "imitation singers falling short of the real thing" because every single one would be the genuine article!
The question then became: how could she organize a thousand concerts worldwide to take place at the exact same time in just one week?
First, White Eagle was a given. Elysia's orders, no matter how outlandish, would be executed unconditionally by her subordinates. As for the Dragon Nation, it was Robin's home base, where her influence and power were immense. All she needed to do was explain the situation to Captain Zhong and the Director of the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations, and the Dragon Nation would undoubtedly offer full cooperation.
In Great Britain, Herta could simply approach Queen Elizabeth. Organizing a few concerts there shouldn't be too difficult. That left only the European Union and the Bear Nation.
However, with three of the Five Great Powers already on board, persuading the remaining two to cooperate shouldn't be an insurmountable task.
Having sorted out her thoughts, Elysia immediately summoned Baldy Burke, ordering him to halt all current projects and prioritize two new directives: organizing a concert and persuading the European Union.
Meanwhile, at the Dragon Nation Bureau of Anomalous Investigations, Captain Zhong was discussing a recent Dimensional Rift case with Lü Heng in his office when Robin burst in, looking frantic.
Both men were taken aback. Robin, usually so quiet and composed, had never appeared so agitated before.
"What's wrong?" Captain Zhong asked.
Robin nodded vigorously. "It's extremely serious!"
Lü Heng chimed in, "Don't worry, just tell us. We're professionally trained. We won't panic."
Robin shot him a wordless glare of exasperation. He clearly didn't grasp the gravity of the situation, but she understood his lightheartedness—he didn't yet know the stakes. She continued, "This world... it might be destroyed in less than a week!"
Zhong Wanhong stared in disbelief. "Huh?"
Lü Heng's lips twitched. "No, even with professional training, anyone would be terrified in this situation!"
After a pause, he asked, "Is this... really true?"
Robin nodded firmly. "Absolutely!"
When someone has impeccable credibility, people tend to believe even their most outlandish claims.
Robin continued, "Therefore, I need to hold at least four hundred concerts simultaneously across the Dragon Nation to summon Dominicus. By harnessing His power, we can shield this world from the impending disaster."
Zhong Wanhong and Lü Heng had both personally witnessed Dominicus—or rather, a phantom of Him. If even a phantom possessed such immense power, how mighty must His true form be?
At that moment, they fully grasped the gravity of Robin's words. Zhong Wanhong's gaze sharpened, and he asked gravely, "What do we need to do?"
