Chapter 113: Two Suns in the Sky!

Chapter 113: Two Suns in the Sky!

In the poor little house of Fors and Hugh.

Hugh, who was fast asleep, was awakened by the noise coming from Fors next door.

"Fors sounds so distressed, isn't it not yet a full moon tonight?"

Hugh hurriedly got up from bed, quickly headed to Fors' room, and not finding Fors there, she rushed to the washroom following the sound.

Indeed, she saw Fors lying on the ground, seemingly enduring some horrific torture, crawling on the floor, her right hand clutching her hair, her left hand fiercely pinching her thigh, as if to fight against something.

From time to time, a pained and suppressed howl came from her mouth, her facial features twisted in pain, showing none of her usual delicate appearance.

One could imagine that at this moment, pain and suffering were sweeping through her entire body.

"Fors! What's wrong with you! Is there anything I can do to help?"

Hugh quickly came to Fors' side, squatted down, and held Fors' shoulders, her face full of pity, her eyes brimming with tears.

Her past experience told her that Fors' condition was very bad, possibly life-threatening!

"Hugh, I…"

Hugh's call brought Fors back to a bit of consciousness, struggling to say something, but unable to utter a complete sentence.

The crazy delirium was stronger than ever before, with pain and madness occupying every corner of her body.

Especially her head, which was constantly swelling and aching, as if it was about to explode the next moment.

She felt an unprecedented vulnerability, feeling as if her life had come to the edge of a cliff, just a gentle push away from never being able to open her eyes again.

"Fors! Fors! Don't scare me…"

Hugh was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but she had no solution to the situation.

In the past, it was always Fors who got through with her willpower.

The price paid was just a small clump of hair.

But this time it was clearly different.

Eventually, she cradled Fors' head in her arms, continuously whispering words of encouragement.

She hoped that words could dispel the pain.

Trenton.

Klein, who was sleeping, was also unable to sleep due to the crazy spiritual warning.

He woke up from his deep sleep, wiped the sweat from his forehead, his spirituality still throbbing, as if something terrible was happening.

He rested for a while, and in order not to disturb Melissa and Benson's rest, he got up quietly, drank a glass of cooled boiled water, and then opened the window, ready to catch a breeze to calm himself down.

The breeze was cooler than ever before, and with it came a canvas in the starry sky like colorful dyes.

His intuition told him that tonight's crazy spiritual warning originated from the anomaly in the starry sky! After watching for a while, he frowned because he couldn't understand what the colorful light groups fighting and dissolving each other meant.

But that star, brighter and larger than the crimson moon, gave him an association.

Could it be an astronomical phenomenon caused by the explosion of a star?

"How beautiful. To observe such an astronomical phenomenon in one's short life, I wonder how many lifetimes of luck it took to come by."

Klein quietly appreciated it, wishing he had a telescope by his side at this time.

After all, the lifespan of a star is almost counted in billions of years, while a human life is only a hundred years. The probability of the two meeting is even harder than winning the lottery jackpot ten times in a row.

Of course, if it's the lottery of a major country, the probability of ordinary people winning is probably not much less than the scene before them.

After appreciating for a while, Klein's brow furrowed again.

No!

If it was just an astronomical phenomenon caused by a star explosion, why would his spirituality be restless?

Could it involve extraordinary factors? The extraordinary factors that could affect a star's explosion… that should only be the seven deities, right? Klein just thought about it for a moment and then hurriedly dismissed these thoughts; he dared not casually think about divine matters in the real world.

But, it's none of my business, right? If there were any disasters falling from the starry sky, like meteorites.

Even if I wanted to avoid it, such things do not shift with my will.

Whether I can survive or not is entirely up to luck.

Klein seriously pondered for a while, indeed it's none of his business, but it concerns Mr. Fool.

With such a big commotion, at next Monday's Tarot meeting, Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man will definitely want to know what happened tonight.

In their eyes, Mr. Fool must understand the cause and effect of tonight's anomaly.

"I need to prepare several answers in advance, so as not to be exposed at that time."

"With my knowledge of astronomy, I should be able to deceive Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man."

"Hmm, I should talk about it as grandly as possible, after all, with the extraordinary strength of Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man, it will be a long time before they can understand the starry sky."

Klein, while admiring the beautiful scenery before him, pondered how to prevaricate Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man.

He also thought about whether to go to the Source Fortress and try to divine tonight's events. In the end, he dismissed this suicidal act.

Peeking at the gods, and possibly more than one deity, even the Source Fortress would have a hard time keeping him safe.

Blackthorn Security Company.

Leonard, who was in charge of guarding the Chanis Gate tonight, also felt uneasy, his spirituality reminding him that something big was happening tonight.

"Starry sky."

A mysterious voice sounded within him.

Leonard, composed, greeted another night watchman, saying he wanted to rest for a while, then went outside to the street.

When he looked up at the starry sky, his gaze was completely captivated by the scene before him.

The crimson moon, the stars all over the sky, and that unknown star flashing dazzling light.

On the other side, three different colors of light were tearing a black curtain, or rather, they were surrounded by the black curtain at this moment.

He didn't know why, but he felt inexplicably shocked.

According to the hint from the voice inside him, he naturally understood that tonight's big event was related to the starry sky.

He first scanned the surroundings, saw no one, and then asked in a low voice, "Old man, you should know what happened tonight, right?"

"I have some guesses."

"Can you tell me?"

"You're too weak, the truth is only poison to you."

"…Can't even mention it?"

"Heh, do you really want to know about things related to the gods?"

Leonard was startled by this sentence, although he really wanted to know what happened in the starry sky tonight, he didn't dare to bet his life on it.

"A new era has begun, if you don't want to be abandoned by this new era, then hurry up and become stronger."

"Oh, I will."

Leonard replied perfunctorily to this sentence.

After a moment of silence, the mysterious voice spoke again, "One day you will understand how naive your caution towards me is today."

"Old man, if you were me, you wouldn't completely trust another mysterious existence with an unknown identity, right?"

"Hehe, think what you will, but I want to remind you again, if you want to survive, hurry up and become stronger, otherwise you will regret it in the future."

Leonard fell silent for a moment, then laughed and said, "Old man, you seem much more active than usual tonight, and you talk a lot more."

"You can stay quiet because you don't understand what's happening in the starry sky right now."

"Is what's happening tonight really that important?"

Leonard also put away his caution, his expression becoming serious.

"The whole world is destroyed together, what do you think?"

With the last laugh, the voice inside Leonard completely quieted down.

No matter how Leonard called, He did not speak again.

"Is what happened tonight really that terrible?"

Leonard looked up at the now unfamiliar starry sky, a chill rising in his heart.

"The old man also said something about the world being destroyed together, he must be trying to deceive me."

"Enhancing strength is indeed important, but maintaining oneself is equally important."

"Old man, I still can't fully trust you."

Leonard sighed, watched the starry sky for a while longer, then returned to guard the Chanis Gate.

The starry sky full of anomalies gradually came to an end.

Just as the two battlefields were at a stalemate, the night was about to dissipate, and the fierce sun was about to take over the world of daylight.

A dazzling platinum sun suddenly appeared near the White Tower, the Tyrant, and the Fierce Sun.

The blinding and vast light first suppressed the light belonging to the Fierce Sun.

Then it dispersed the black curtain that stretched across the starry sky, and finally, before the Fierce Sun, it spread its light over the world in advance.

The light of the crimson moon was covered, and the stars could no longer emit dazzling light.

At this moment, night turned to day, and the entire sky had only that one round of platinum sun! The whole world lit up at this moment! A roar seemed to come from the starry sky, and a round of orange-yellow sun rose in a hurry.

At this moment, in the starry sky, a rare phenomenon of two suns in the sky appeared! But soon, the platinum sun disappeared, and only The phenomenon of two suns in the sky was brief, visible only to those who were closely observing the starry heavens. The platinum sun vanished, leaving only the familiar orange-yellow sun, which continued to shine down upon the world.

The world had changed. The once mysterious and distant stars now seemed to hold secrets that were unfolding before the eyes of those who dared to look up. The ordinary had become extraordinary, and the extraordinary had become even more enigmatic.

In the quiet aftermath of the celestial display, Leonard, Klein, and countless others pondered the implications. What did this dual sun event signify? Was it a harbinger of catastrophe or a cosmic blessing? The answers remained elusive, hidden within the vastness of the universe.

As the sun climbed higher, bathing the land in warmth, life resumed its usual rhythm. People went about their daily tasks, unaware of the cosmic drama that had unfolded above them. Yet, for those who had witnessed the twin suns, questions lingered:

Was this a celestial alignment, a clash of forces beyond mortal comprehension? Or did it herald a new era, as the mysterious voice had suggested? Leonard's caution, Klein's curiosity, and Fors' suffering—all intertwined with the cosmic dance of light and shadow.

And so, the world turned, its mysteries deepening, and the dual suns faded into memory, leaving behind wonder and uncertainty.
