Chapter 173- Message from the heavens

Across the world, it appeared—the massive floating sphere that darkened the sky, twisting its color into something unnatural.

Every church worker felt it, an overwhelming force pressing down on their souls as if the gods themselves were watching. Statues and sculptures of deities wept black tears, their once-still faces twisting into expressions of sorrow and warning. Sacred texts burst into flames, their ancient words turning to ash before they could be read.

The ground trembled as the presence spread, shaking cities and tearing cracks through streets. Oceans roared, tides rising unnaturally high, swallowing entire coastlines. Crops withered in an instant, their lifeforce drained by the unseen power. Birds fell from the sky, their cries lost to the deafening silence that followed.
