The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 450: Unexpected Events

Slowly, that energy was beginning to turn red, but even then, the rate at which it was changing was actually so slow. So, it was definitely going to take quite a while for it to be able to completely transform.

Henry also suddenly realized that the pressure that he was experiencing had suddenly reduced. But even then, he was not bothered to care about the reason why something like that had happened.

But instead, he simply focused on pushing the energy, trying to break the barrier. He had already been pushing forward for quite a while, but even then, there was not even a single crack that had appeared in the invisible barrier.

It might be true that he could not see the barrier that was preventing him from reaching the next level, but even then he could still feel it clearly. So, if there was even a single crack on it, he would definitely be able to notice.

Just as he was wondering if he could actually crack this thing, he suddenly realized that the force that was pushing the energy forward suddenly increased. It was then that he realized that the energy reserves in his body had actually began moving without his permission.

Instead of being happy about getting assistance from his own energy, Henry could not help but frown. After all, who was it that was trying to control his energy? According to the current situation, if it was true that there was actually another entity that was controlling the energy, that implied that Henry would definitely not be able to fight against another person considering that he would not be able to mobilize the energy if the other party did not want him to.

Henry did not know what to do about the current situation. For that reason, he could only focus on breaking the barrier. Otherwise, if he continued to delay, the energy that was currently under partial control would definitely go berserk once again.

Exerting even more strength, Henry continued to push the energy. With the combination of Henry himself together with the energy reserve that was also pushing the energy and trying to convert even more energy to increase its own strength, the barrier actually began showing signs of cracking.

The moment that Henry realized that, he did not hesitate to increase his ferocity. The moment that he did that, as if the energy was kind of synchronized with him, it also began increasing the rate at which it was converting the energy that was gained from killing the monsters.

The moment that the alien energy was converted into the energy that was possessed by Henry, it was also utilized to increase the pressure that was being put on that barrier. And in no time, several cracks actually began appearing on the barrier.

Even though the cracks that had appeared were not that big, but it was at least showing good results. So, Henry did not give up, and just continued pushing on.

About 2 minutes later, the cracks finally began expanding. The rate at which they were expanding began increasing slowly, and as time went by, the width of the cracks began increasing drastically.

Adam and the others could not help but get worried at this moment. They suddenly realized that the intensity of the fire that was surrounding Henry had suddenly increased.

For that reason, even though Adam was reluctant, he could only move back, until they had formed a circle of a diameter of about 1 km. That was the place where they could actually survive the intensity of the heat without getting injured.

Adam really wanted to go in there, to try and see what was happening to Henry. But even then, he was stopped by Dylan and Rachel. The two of them were even closer to Henry considering that their lives were kind of related to Henry. But even then, although they looked worried, they did not seem to believe that Henry was in danger at all.

Of course Dylan and Rachel would definitely feel it when Henry was in danger. Previously, they had already noticed it. But even then, they did not go over because they did not receive a command from Henry that he was in great danger where he could not survive.

Currently, in the diameter that Henry was the center, all vegetation had already been burnt. At the same time, the ground was already charred black, but even then, it seemed that the ground was going to turn red due to the intensity of the heat.

...

At the same time that Henry was trying to break through the barrier that was preventing him from reaching the next level, something else had suddenly happened outside the dungeon, in the world.

At this moment, the sky that was previously clear suddenly began changing. At the same time, a gloomy atmosphere began spreading.

The sky began turning red. This was almost the same situation that had happened during the time that the third stage of the apocalypse was about to descend.

But even then, there was just a single difference right now. It was as if the entire world was suddenly turning red. The previous time, it was just a few clouds that had become red.

At that time, it actually rained blood. Then in the next moment, several changes began occurring all over the world. But definitely, those that had suffered the most were definitely humans considering that several humans had turned into zombies, and those zombies were actually special.

But the strange thing was the fact that even until today, after that specific day, those zombies actually disappeared without a trace. Even during the moment that Henry destroyed the zombie territory within two cities, he did not encounter any of those special zombies, although there was a city that had already been taken over by zombies.

This was something strange, and Henry and the others had been paying attention to it. But even so far, they could not find any clues about where those zombies had gone to. But in any case, they were cautious, trying to look for the traces of those zombies.

They were not sure if those zombies were given enough time, they would be extremely dangerous to the humans. So, it was better if they took care of the trouble, rather than waiting for it to strike at them first.

But right now, it was completely different. The ground suddenly began shaking. The intensity of the shaking was akin to a high intensity earthquake. Nobody had expected something like this to happen, and for that reason, chaos suddenly began erupting all over the world.

Within the territories, those that had been feeling that they were being bound by the rules that had been set by the leaders of the territories that they were residing in, suddenly took this chance and began making trouble.

In no time at all, the entire world was in chaos. Fights were occurring here and there, while at the same time, the ground just continuously shook. The intensity of the sky turning red increased, and in no time at all, even the sun had already turned blood red.

At this moment, people began thinking that the fourth stage of the apocalypse was about to descend into this world. They had already realized that before a certain stage came over, it would definitely be accompanied by natural occasions such as an earthquake or a heavy rain.

At this moment, within the Domination Star territory, the chaos within had already been subdued. In any case, this territory possessed quite a high discipline, and those that possessed high positions within the territory possessed high strength as well.

For that reason, they were actually capable of dealing with any trouble that came over. As for those people that were trying to cause trouble within the territory, of course the majority of them did not have much strength, with the strongest among them being in the gold rank.

After everything was taken care of, Olivia could not help but feel that there was something wrong. According to the calculations that they were having, the 4th stage of the apocalypse was not supposed to be descending at this moment.

So far, they had already realized that before any stage of the apocalypse descended, there was supposed to be a good period of time in between them. And as they moved to the higher stages, the time in between the stages was supposed to be increasing.

And from the third stage to the fourth, there was supposed to be at least a month in between them before the 4th stage of the apocalypse descended. But even then, that was just a prediction that they were having, and it was not as if they possessed information about the real apocalypse.

At this moment, realizing that there was definitely something wrong, Olivia decided to make arrangements. Within the territory, everybody was summoned. Of course, all those that were brought over were those that possessed combat professions.

At that moment, Olivia decided to increase the defense of the territory. At the same time, she ordered for everybody to be prepared for a fight. They were not sure about what was going to happen during the 4th stage of the apocalypse, but even then, they had to be prepared for anything.

The shaking of the ground led to the ground being torn apart. People began falling into the cracks that suddenly appeared within the territories or for those people who were already venturing out.

Just like before, the casualties began increasing slowly, but steadily. In no time at all, thousands of people within the world had already died due to the earthquake. And until now, there was no any other change in the sky other than the sky turning blood red.
