The portal closed behind them with a humming sound, taking them away from Echo Vale to Atlas Nexus, the hq of the World Ptachers Inc.
Vanguard team one said Aurelia Selvor as she came to the team with a document in her hand. The command is expecting your report.
Inside the Nexus core, the office of the commander, Luca, was seen standing in front of a man in a chair.
The cascade event was stronger than a typical class 5 cascade event; it felt like a quasi-class 6. If you had sent a team below number 12, the whole team would have been annihilated without resistance, he said as the man made a sigh.
I will get back to you, the man said while opening a 3d map on his table as Luca left. Cascade events are spiking everywhere, he said. Three cascade events have been discovered in three hours, with one of them even being a class 4 one. Is the Ragnarok truly coming according to the prophecies of the old? The man pondered as he closed the map.
Luca, we are over here, he heard a voice call him from a table in the dining hall.
Why are you this moody, Nyra said as she saw the frown on the usually jovial Luca.
I have a feeling that something terrible is coming. The class 5 cascade event was like a class 6 one. If I hadn't acted fast enough, the planet would have been destroyed even before we could face it, Luca said as he ate his food.
I also noticed it when we were fighting against the Rogue, it was only tier 5. How could it have used authority craft on Nyra, who was at tier 6, and it worked? Viren said
We just have to be strong enough to resist all cascades, so what is the fuss all about? Nyra said.
Says someone who almost got killed by her own attack, Elian said from the side as the rest of the group burst into laughter.
In the weeks that followed, various cascade events surged on different planets and universes. What were meant to be monthly anomalies were now daily occurrences.
On dusk Vale, an entire city was turned into a child's bedtime story, with the skies talking, the people looking like stickmen and rivers that devoured memories. This was just one of the many cases.
The entire pattern of the universe was starting to collapse, as even the fractures have risen from the depths of the multiverse, ready to bring doom unto any planet they come in contact with.
Vanguard unit one, ready to stabilise the class 6 cascade event on Zone Theta. As they said that, they entered the stabiliser gate, their coats looking static as if time couldn't come near them.
Several ruptures in the timeline, Riven said as they stepped out.
Lysa, create a separate space when we engage. I want to make this quick. Just tell the organisation to send a bunch of tier 5 concept architects and reality engineers to stabilise the place when the cause is destroyed. We have a lot of cascade events to destroy today.
Concept track, Nyra said as a thin thread connected her to an unknown place. The team, led by Nyra, rapidly advanced in the distorted space, arriving at a dilapidated castle.
What the hell, the cause of the cascade event was a fracturer, Nyra shouted as she sprinted out of the building while a claw-like hand followed her.
