Gloomy Sky Hidden God

The first star that passed away extinguished two thousand years ago.
Four hundred years later, the mysterious Calamity of Heavenly Fall destroyed the civilization of the previous era, returning thriving cultures to ignorance.
Since then, stars gradually vanished, the Firmament grew dark and dim, and a new civilization rose from the starless wilderness, flourishing once more.
Yet, what accompanied this were war, death, destruction, and hatred.
The flames once aimed at the Firmament were used to slaughter the people of enemy nations, and the raining clouds once engineered to alter deserts were turned into floods that engulfed the land.
Humans once again began to kill each other for wealth and power... but no one looked up at the sky.
They lost the Guidance of the stars Above the Sky, forgetting the awe of gazing upon the Milky Way.
They were all prisoners.
One thousand six hundred years after the Calamity of Heavenly Fall, a young child awakened memories of his past life.
He wanted to break the Cage, to throw off the shackles.
He wanted to become a star.
To return to Above the Sky.
"I don't care about how the people of this world live, whether they're well-fed or not, whether they can dress warmly or live comfortably, whether they have dreams or hopes. I don't care about their loves and hates."
"I just want to go Above the Sky."
——Ian.

Above The Sky

Can Ordinary firearms' bullets compare with the Giant Clam water bullets, which can easily pierce through reefs and shatter nearly half a meter thick steel-iron stone trees?


The Ordinary powder weapons currently in service in Terra, with a muzzle velocity around three times the speed of sound and kinetic energy around 4000 joules, have no problem shooting people or Ordinary iron armor, but they are indeed useless against Armor Suit, a clearly bygone epoch technology relic from a past era.


Even the "Alloy Heavy Armor," made bulkier and weighing a couple of hundred pounds due to the outstanding physical qualities of Terra People and material science craftsmanship, can easily block ordinary bullets. Only firearms with an Alchemy Energy Module can pry open these real iron cans, whose armor thickness is measured in centimeters.


In other words, Ordinary firearms can't even break Ian's outer layer of Primordial Sand Armor, let alone wound him.
