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

But there was no time left for thought, as Ian had already accelerated the Cyclops Giant to a speed of 170 kilometers per hour. On Earth, among land vehicles, this was a speed only attainable on highways. And what's more, for a near five-meter tall, thirteen-ton metal behemoth?


Boom! Accompanied by a sky full of flying wood chips and rock fragments, the black giant crushed the Mountain People's street barricades and caltrops. Even the temporary fortifications built from piled cement were completely flattened, leaving nothing but a chaotic heap of ruins on the ground.


The Cyclops Giant charged straight toward its target, even smashing itself ferociously into an uninhabited house standing in its way.


With a tremble and a whirl of fierce wind, the three-story building was cleaved as if by a giant sword, leaving behind an empty swath. The shattered building fragments were flung hundreds of meters away, causing a shower of stone rain throughout the entire city district.
