It all happened in a matter of minutes.
—The flood slammed into Naisel City. It first broke through a city gate, but was then blocked by a single person.
Immediately after, the light of the city's Shelter Array dimmed, flickering out like a flame in a gale.
The Great Array's light dimmed.
—Ooo—?
Even the Water God in the sky noticed this. It found this odd, as it hadn't yet begun to destroy the city. The Elemental Array shouldn't have been broken by the flood so quickly; it wasn't that fragile.
But, just as the Giant Whale was feeling puzzled, a sense of extreme danger washed over it.
The next instant—
A pillar of incandescent white light shot up from the ground, piercing the heavens. In that instant, the immense energy contained within the beam even briefly altered the local weather. The dark clouds suddenly dispersed, and the once-overcast sky cleared completely, revealing the faint light of the stars and moon.
BOOM!!!!
