Warlord [3]

The ground rumbled and cried, the earth before Zero's feet was shaking so rapidly that he thought the world might break. This was an earthquake of an intensity he'd never felt or even seen before. 

He was barely able to stand on his feet, thought that didn't last long and he lost his balance. Although in the middle he was stopped by Req who then held him from the behind as she gazed up at the future Zero—despite the fact that she couldn't see a thing due to the light released from the explosion. 

There was a single loud buzzing sound after the explosion that lasted long until the light from the blast faded in the sky. Slowly the view of the upside became clear. 

There was total devastation around them. All the land, as far as the eye could see, had turned charred and reduced to ash. Even the Roswell city was gone; all the buildings and structures and roads, all were vanished without a trace. All there was left was ash and black and ebony.
