That wasn't an ordinary alarm.
It is an absolute crisis signal designed by countless psychologists and acoustics experts, capable of instantly penetrating all human defense mechanisms and striking directly into the depths of the soul.
It was sharp, urgent, and carried an undeniable, apocalyptic sense of oppression.
The sound did not come from one place.
The LCD TV in the corner of the room switched abruptly from a gentle landscape program to a glaring red warning screen, emitting a shrill beeping sound.
On the table, his personal phone was vibrating wildly, and the global emergency alert pop-up on the screen almost cracked the screen itself.
Even more deadly was the badge card on his chest that represented his identity as the "Dragon's Spine." At the same moment, it lit up with a blood-red light, and the high-frequency alarm sounded like a steel needle piercing his eardrums and reaching his cerebral cortex.
A comprehensive, all-encompassing global alert!
The torrent of data in Lin Che's eyes was instantly overwhelmed and shattered by this brutal alarm.
His consciousness, immersed in deep thought, was forcibly pulled from the sea of data; his body's instinctive reaction was even faster than his thoughts. His heart clenched, and all the blood in his body seemed to rush to his head in that instant.
He looked up suddenly.
His gaze was fixed on the television that was no longer playing any normal programs.
All channels, whether entertainment, finance, or sports, were forcibly taken over within 0.01 seconds.
A unified emergency live broadcast, devoid of any television station logos, dominated screens worldwide.
The footage is shaking slightly, clearly from an emergency shot taken by a high-altitude drone.
The camera is focused on the distant skyline of Shanghai.
Above those skyscrapers constructed of steel and glass, symbols of human civilization's pride, the once quietly suspended "Sky Gap" is now undergoing a dramatic transformation that defies description.
It came back to life.
The enormous rift that stretched across the sky, the dimensional fissure that the people privately called the "scar of the world," was no longer filled with deep darkness.
The dark red energy, visible to the naked eye, transformed into a tangible raging tide, churning, rushing, and roaring wildly within the cracks.
That was neither light nor fog.
It was a pure, violent energy entity filled with destructive energy. With each roll, it caused the spatial barriers at the edge of the crack to groan in agony, twisting into visible ripples.
The crack itself is being violently forced open from the inside by this raging energy!
In the lower left corner of the live stream, a row of data calculated in real time by a supercomputer is skyrocketing at a heart-stopping speed.
[Crack Energy Index: +780%]
Spatial stability: -92%
Crack length: +214%
Crack width: +301%
Just one hour!
From the moment the first alarm sounded until Lin Che looked up, in just one hour, the size of the [Sky Rift] had expanded three times out of thin air!
It is no longer a crack hanging high in the sky.
It transformed into the slowly opening maw of a colossal beast, stretching across the entire sky above Shanghai.
Through the window, Lin Che could even see the distant sky, which was stained with an eerie, apocalyptic blood-red halo by that ominous dark red.
The pulse of the city has stopped.
On the streets, the screeching of brakes, the terrified screams of people, and the crashing of vehicles mingled together, creating a chaotic symphony. Countless people rushed out of buildings, looking up at the sky, their expressions shifting rapidly from initial bewilderment to utter terror.
Trainers instinctively released their Pokémon, only to find that their usually brave and fearless companions were now trembling, whimpering in a low, uneasy voice towards the sky, and some had even lost their will to fight, wanting to hide back in their Poké Balls.
It was an absolute fear of a superior being, stemming from a life instinct.
Under the tense, fearful, and even desperate gazes of hundreds of countries and billions of people around the world, something slowly and heavily squeezed out of that ever-expanding, blood-red maw.
No.
That is not a "thing".
It was a mobile fortress, a giant structure made of countless blue bricks that floated in the sky!
Its size was so great that it blotted out the sky.
The live stream camera zoomed out urgently, attempting to capture its entirety, but could only futilely reveal a tiny fraction of its massive size. In the distance, the Oriental Pearl Tower, shadowed by the aircraft carrier, appeared as small as a child's toy. Below, in the sea, a real aircraft carrier was making an emergency maneuver, but compared to the aircraft carrier, that war behemoth embodying the pinnacle of human industrial achievement seemed as fragile as a floating leaf.
[Warning: Ultra Beast codenamed "Dawn-04" - Riftstone detected.]
[Vital signs analysis...analysis failed.]
[Energy level determination... Determination failed.]
Threat level...cannot be estimated.
Lines of cold data popped up on the live stream screen. Every "failure" and "unpredictable" felt like a heavy hammer blow to everyone's hearts.
It has arrived.
A massive shadow loomed over a large part of Shanghai, and the world seemed to have been muted at that moment.
However, to everyone's surprise,
This colossal creature, defined as an Ultimate Beast, did not launch any attack on the city below after completely detaching from the [Sky Rift], contrary to expectations.
Its countless eerie blue "eyes" indifferently swept over the tiny human city below, without any emotional fluctuation, as if they were just looking at an insignificant grain of sand.
Then, its massive body began to move.
It flew straight into the East China Sea in a steady and elegant manner, completely out of proportion to its size.
What is it going to do?
This question appeared simultaneously on the combat screens of all command centers around the world, and also in Lin Che's mind.
next second.
The answer is revealed.
The "brick city" suspended above the East China Sea was now illuminated by a deep, dark blue light emanating from every single brick.
"Om-"
A unique, long, and seemingly primordial call emanated from its body.
That wasn't a sound that travels through the air.
It is a rhythm that acts on gravity and on the origin of matter.
Then, a scene unfolded that left everyone who observed it via satellite, drones, and the naked eye on the shore speechless, even questioning their own sanity.
The massive body of the piled-up stones is the absolute core.
The sea below it began to boil!
The islands that stand on the sea, untouched for millions of years, and the scattered reefs of varying sizes, all seem to be held by an invisible, divine hand and begin to tremble violently!
“Rumble, rumble—!”
The earth is wailing, the sea is roaring!
A deserted island, dozens of kilometers from the coastline, was uprooted from the seabed by an irresistible force amidst countless shocked gazes as its foundation crumbled!
It rose into the sky!
But this 1.9 is just the beginning.
The second, the third, the tenth...
Within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, all the islands and reefs, regardless of size, were lifted up from the ground by this terrifying gravitational force, breaking free from the constraints of gravity!
In mid-air, they were absorbed, pulled, crushed, and decomposed into the most primitive rocks and soil by that invisible force.
Then, reorganize!
Guided by the deep blue light of the piled-up stones, countless rock fragments, like worker bees with life, began to converge, swirl, piece together, and build at high speed and in an orderly manner!
On the churning sea, under the stunned gaze of all humankind.
A massive, twisted, and magnificent staircase, made up of countless island remnants, is forming out of thin air!
One end of it connects to the turbulent blue sea.
At its other end, straight and resolute, in a pilgrimage-like posture, lies the ever-expanding, ominous crimson rift in the sky—the [Sky-Gap]!
A "Stairway to the Stars" leading to another world.
Chapter 102 Necrozma's Awakening!
The act of creating by piling up stones was, in the eyes of mortals, an incredible miracle that lasted for several days.
It uses itself as its foundation and the smallest units that make up the world as its bricks and tiles to build a magnificent staircase leading directly to another world under the torn sky of the Carlos region.
The staircase is formless and intangible, formed by the interweaving of pure energy and spatial laws.
It stretches across the heavens and the earth, one end connecting to the azure Earth, the other end disappearing into the deep, twisted, and ominous dark vortex of the [Sky-Gap].
This was not a pointless display of skill.
This creation, which Lin Che named the "Stairway to the Stars," completely reshaped the chaotic and unstable energy structure inside the [Heaven-Gap] in an almost tyrannical way.
It forcibly regulated the turbulent spatial currents, establishing an absolutely stable energy channel from Earth directly to the other side of ultimate space.
A thoroughfare...
At this moment, in a high-end hotel room in Miare, Carlos region.
Lin Che sat on the soft sofa, but all his muscles were tense and not relaxed at all.
Outside the window is a bustling city night scene, with flashing neon lights and a constant flow of traffic, filled with the warmth and tranquility of everyday life.
But all of this was shrouded in an inescapable shadow in his eyes.
Deep within his eyes, countless tiny, pale golden streams of data were rapidly flowing by like a waterfall.
[True Eye of Reason], operating at full power!
His vision had already pierced through the walls of physics, penetrated the atmosphere, and precisely locked onto that [Sky Gap] in the sky.
