After the magnitude-9 earthquake, the Human Federation meeting, which was supposed to be held remotely, was first postponed and then canceled.
The reason was simple: most member nations had been devastated and were in no mood for a meeting.
The previous magnitude-8 earthquake had led to the demise of the nation of Magala, and this magnitude-9 quake destroyed over five more in one fell swoop—three with populations in the millions, and two in the tens of millions.
In just one short week, the Human Federation, originally composed of thirty-four nations, was now left with only twenty-eight.
Among these twenty-eight nations, many were teetering on the brink of collapse. If they received no aid from other countries for disaster relief, their dissolution was only a matter of time.
The cruel reality, however, was that no country had the spare capacity to offer a helping hand.
North Star couldn't do it, and neither could Soloma.
