Legacy of the Betelgeuse

Chapter 135 - Episode 135: The Invasion. (1)

The ambient suddenly stops, and the ground is shaking very badly, but then a massive shockwave is coming from above and everyone is pushed to the ground. Everyone is panicking and then one of the players is raising his hand and pointing at something in the sky. We all look up and there's a weird object floating in space that wasn't there a few minutes ago. Everyone is squinting their eyes and it's an asteroid. It looks small from here because the asteroid is still far away, and everyone keeps staring at it.

If they ask me how big the asteroid is, it's ten times bigger than the empire state building. Seeing it for the first time sure makes everyone feels hopeless, but at least they don't know about the Extraterrestrial Boss is undefeatable, so I hope they still want to try and do their best.

Ivonna is looking up to the space and checks if there's another asteroid coming from space.

"There's only one asteroid, and it seems that it's coming down very slowly."

Everyone is looking at the space. Leonardo is humming.

"You're right. Thank god for that."

Ivonna is messaging someone and then looks at the timer.

"We still have 20 minutes in the real-time left. So that's around 4 hours of in-game time. When the timer reaches 0 that means the asteroid is hitting the ground, right?"

I nod.

"Yeah, you're right. So we still have around 4 hours to prepare ourselves, mentally and physically."

Everyone nods. Ivonna then looks at Leonardo.

"Leo, can you predict where the asteroid is going to hit at?"

Leonardo is raising his eyebrows.

"Uhh, I think it's going hard to check from this angle. We are directly below the asteroid and if I want to calculate it, I need to be at least a few hundred kilometers away from here and look at the asteroid from the side and see the trajectory of it."

Ivonna then shares her map screen with all of us. We all are staring at the map and Ivonna is pointing at the south part of the map.

"Do you think this place is far enough?"

Leonardo is rubbing his chin and humming. Then he's shaking his head and pointing at the map.

"No, I think I need to go further down, like over here. Sadly, with the time we have, I don't think I can make it in time."

Hans is pointing at the Eluna Empire territory.

"If we can't go south to the unknown, why don't you go north and there's a town over there with the same distance as that place you were pointing at."

Leonardo is leaning towards the map and nods.

"Yeah, this should work. I will message you when I got the coordination. I will be right back."

We all nod and then Leonardo teleports to the Eluna Empire.

Michael is looking at the asteroid while humming.

"I know that I'm not smart enough to talk about physics, but... don't you guys think if that massive asteroid hit the ground like what happened to the dinosaurs. Aren't we all just going to die by the impact? Not to mention the debris of the asteroid."

Grisell is humming while thinking.

"But we don't know how strong the atmosphere of this planet though, and I don't think the asteroid can survive the fraction if this planet has the same matters as what we have on earth's atmosphere. Maybe only 10% of its original size will survive and hit the ground while the rest of it is going to evaporate. The only thing that might survive is what is inside or on that asteroid. The reason why I said that is because there's no way it's called an invasion if it's just a piece of a big rock."

Everyone is humming with understanding.

2 and a half hours have passed. Ivonna is waiting for Leonardo's report while the rest of us are keeping an eye on the asteroid that is slowly getting bigger and closer. At first, nobody really bothers to check on the asteroid, but when it becomes closer and bigger, the players around us are starting to feel anxious about it. Not only that, right now we can hear the sound of the asteroid hitting the atmosphere.

Ivonna suddenly jolts and looks at the screen in front of her with a worried expression.

"The asteroid is going to his the Alliance Kingdom! Right at the middle of the Alliance Kingdom territory!"

Francesca and the others are shocked and immediately look at the message from Leonardo. Ivonna then walks toward the players and tells them to be prepared. She also informs them that the asteroid is going to hit the heart of the Alliance Kingdom which is the Maryoca Kingdom, the strongest and the biggest kingdom in the Alliance Kingdom. Everyone starts panicking, but Ivonna and the others are calming them down and start moving around the Maryoca Kingdom.

Ivonna is messaging Kingstar and Diamond and tells them that the invasion is going to happen in the Maryoca Kingdom. Ivonna then orders Francesca and the others to start evacuating the royal family of the Maryoca Kingdom. I myself am going to evacuate some of the important NPCs that are at the Maryoca Kingdom.

A notification appears in front of all the players.

[Voice of the World]

[World Quest: Shazjae Dummak Pharas Do!]

[An extraterrestrial being is coming down to Orion. An invasion that came from the Cosmic that will harvest all the resources in and on Orion. A being that came from Pharas Planet. It is similar to the legend in stories of the 6 Legendary Heroes. An invasion that will bring chaos and catastrophe to the Orion.]

[Objective: Prevent and repel the extraterrestrial from bringing a catastrophe to the Alliance Kingdoms. Survive and evacuate 40% or above of the total population in the Alliance Kingdoms during the duration that has been given]

[Failed: player's EXP reduced to 0%. Reduced player's level by 10. Drop rate and EXP rate reduced to 99%. Status value reduced by 90% for a week in real-time!]

[Reward: [Unique title], [+10.000 Fame], [Unique Mysterious Box] x10]

[100% of the Alliance Kingdoms population is alive]

[167 Hrs 59 Mins 59 Secs until the invasion ended]

Emma is looking at the notification.

"What the f*ck?! This is too much!"

Kingstar with all the players from the Aarus Empire's faction and Diamond with all the players from the Eluna Empire's faction are coming to the Alliance Kingdom. Kingstar and Diamond with the clan leaders and their commanders are running toward Ivonna. They all are surprised when they see the massive asteroid that is entering the atmosphere.

Kingstar looks at Ivonna.

"That massive thing is going to hit the Maryoca Kingdom?!"

Ivonna nods.

"Yes, but I think the atmosphere is going to evaporate 80% to 90% of its original size. That's what Grisell told me, so it will be fine. What worries us is the thing that will come out from the asteroid."

Queenstar is furrowing her forehead.

"You're saying that the asteroid is like a vessel for whatever that is inside the asteroid?"

Ivonna nods.

"That's the most reasonable answer to your question."

Lothair is humming with understanding.

"So basically the extraterrestrial being is a living fossil that got trapped inside the asteroid and will go back to life as soon as it breathes the air... That sounds like a cosmic horror film."

Kingstar then nods up.

"So, what should we do?"

Ivonna is sharing her map with them and pointing at the 4 kingdoms around the Maryoca Kingdom. The Kravel Kingdom, the Irasha Kingdom, the Yureon Kingdom, and the Cruzm Kingdom.

"Cruzm and Yureon Kingdoms are already crowded by the players from the Alliance Kingdoms' faction. I need you to go to the Irasha Kingdom, and Diamond, I want you to go to the Kravel Kingdom. Trevor and the others are currently on their way to evacuate the people in the Maryoca Kingdom, but I don't think there's enough time to evacuate them."

-

"We can help with that."

Everyone turns around and Aspen with all his men is coming from the teleportation device. Ivonna looks at them and nods.

"Thank you. We really need your help. Please go to the Maryoca Kingdom and tell Trevor that you come to help."

Aspen nods.

"We are on it. Let's go boys."

Everyone is leaving and go to their position as Ivonna ordered. Ivonna then goes to the Eynhildr's Palace to protect the royal family.

I'm looking for the first NPC and when I'm about to approach him, a group of people is already escorting him. I look at them and I remember their faces, they're Jariel's men. I immediately go to the next person and the house is already empty. I look at the rooftop and the dark alley, there are hundreds of them lurking around the capital city and busy running around. One of them is approaching me and telling me that all the people in the Maryoca Kingdom are already escorted to a safe place. I thank him and he immediately disappears. This is really the best decision for asking Jariel's help.

The sound of the bell is ringing all around the capital city. I look up and the meteor is already burning red. I immediately leave the Maryoca Kingdom and I hope Emma and the others are already evacuating the royal family.

I'm standing on top of the tall tower and look at the Maryoca Kingdom that is about to get hit by the asteroid. As soon as the asteroid hits the kingdom, everything 5 kilometers around the kingdom is flattened, and the shockwaves destroy the buildings on the neighboring kingdoms.

A status screen appears in front of me.

I scoff and smile.

"Now this is what I miss..."
