Doomsday Pillars

Dday #465

40 days after Alex and his team returned to Bali Island.

35 days before the first tribulation begins.

At the moment, ten of thousands of Abyss Gates that were located all around the globe had reached their final stage, ready to unleash their terror onto the world. Across the world, all the area around the Abyss Gates have turned into a completely black pitch terrain, a barren field devoid of any life, and filled with numerous critters and hellhounds.

The increasing threat of the Abyss Gate as time went on, in addition to the usual threat of zombies, made the defensive base posts around the world begin to merge into one unit in their respective region.

Thus, it was not surprising that currently over two hundred pillars around the world managed to clear the 30th floor and open up access to the Level 2 Hall. A third of them even managed to have access to the Spirit Barrier function on the 40th floor.

With this, almost all of the people who are still alive have been able to access and are connected to the Doomsday Pillar network, where they can see all the information that has been successfully shared. As they realized and knew about their impending predicament, the inhabitants of the Earth began to work hand in hand to prepare themselves for the arrival of the first tribulation.

[2.925.221] [2.925.220] [2.925.219]

In a massive reading room, a middle aged man was seen standing in the doomsday pillar hall while he seemed to be watching the dwindling countdown figure before his eyes. The man frowned as he placed his fingers on his forehead, a sign of someone who was filled with a lot of thoughts. Suddenly, a young girl approached the man and hugged the man from the side, stroking the man;s shoulder while also watching the countdown figure.

When the young girl had seen the countdown for a few moments, she then turned to face the man beside her.

"Daddy, you are looking at that number more than ever. Is something bothering you?" Asked the young girl while continuing to stroke her father’s shoulder.

Turning his head towards his daughter, the man answered her question.

"Why are you asking that, sweetheart?"

"Well, I just wanted to know. I’m worried for you, daddy." said the girl, looking at her father’s eye.

The man let out a faint smile when he heard his daughter’s concern. He then hugged his daughter back as he said.

"It’s nothing, really." muttered the man. "It’s just that lately, Daddy has been wondering if there is anything else that Daddy can do to better face the day ahead."

Upon hearing her father’s words, the young girl immediately grabbed and pressed his father’s cheeks together with her hands. She then opened her mouth while still maintaining their eye contact.

"I ’m sure you will eventually figure it out, Daddy. I believe in you!" said the young girl cutely. She then let go of her hands and walked to the door. As the man was watching his daughter who was about to walk out of the room, she suddenly turned around.

"Mother said family dinner at seven. Do not forget! " said the young girl enthusiastically, pointing her finger at the man. She then waved her hands to him as she walked out of the room.

The young girl is Tiffany, Alex’s eldest daughter. Looking at her, Alex shook his head thinking about how Tiffany had grown so much. Currently, the girl has turned into a 14 years old teenager. She has grown up beautifully and is much more mature than before, bringing a smile to Alex’s face when he thinks about it.

Shaking his head again, Alex immediately stood up and walked out of the room with a smile on his face. Not long after, Alex was standing in front of the main panel of the Doomsday Pillar, waiting for something. A moment later, the message he was waiting for had finally arrived.

[You are invited to enter the pillar network room by Pillar #321. Location : American Continent.]

[Accept?]

[Yes]

Within a split second, Alex’s projection immediately entered the unique meeting room. His eyes immediately wandered around, looking at others who already arrived before him. While the others who saw him coming started whispering quietly to each other, Alex calmly took a seat and closed his eyes, waiting silently for the meeting to begin. With the fact that the tribulation day was approaching in less than a month, the situation inside the room was getting tense.

When everyone arrived, the President of the United States, Elizabeth McCord and the Chief of Staff immediately started the meeting. They then began explaining the latest world threat analysis data.

Number of connected Doomsday Pillars : 218

Number of accounted survivors : 124.886.121

Detailed report :

China : 29.034.662 survivors in 22 pillars

India : 7.492.114 survivors in 3 pillars

Indonesia : 5.883.121 survivors in 5 pillars

America : 4.965.335 survivors in 18 pillars

Germany : 3.779.021 survivors in 8 pillars

Russia : 3.221.964 survivors in 24 pillars

Japan : 2.699.654 survivors in 6 pillars

Brazil : 2.246.711 survivors in 6 pillars

Philippines : 1.833.012 survivors in 3 pillars

Pakistan : 1.753.815 survivors in 2 pillars

These are the top ten countries with the most registered survivors. A total of 124 million survivors out of the 7.7 billion population, a registered population figure of less than 2 percent of the world’s former total population.

Even though everyone had expected an outcome like this, representatives from the more than 30 pillars around the world who attended this meeting were still uneasy when they saw the numbers.

It is estimated that there are still 30-40 million more people who are still not registered because they are still scattered in the wilderness or have not been able to open the Level 2 Hall to connect to the pillar network.

If these 40 million unregistered people still haven’t succeeded in opening the 40th floor or moving to another pillar, then it is expected that the majority of 99% of them will not make it through the first tribulation next month. So, the one of main reasons for holding this meeting is to decide who will seek out these people and send assistance to areas in need.

At this point of time, the word assistance means skyrealm warriors. As it requires a lot of spirit stones to create such fighters, the number of these warriors are still limited. Especially those skyrealm magus that only number one in every thousand knights.

The countries identified as having many strong fighters are: China, USA, Italy, Greece, Germany, Russia, Japan, and Israel. After 9 months since the second hall opened, none of the fighters from these countries were able to pass the 50th floor, even though they had focused their resources. They realized that they weren’t able to continue to the next floor without sacrificing a lot of fighters, so they decided to refocus their fighters on the realm improvement.

Several countries have also tried to enter the Abyss Gate. China, America, and Italy have managed to break through the hall guarded by the three-headed Cerberus. But unfortunately for them, their troops were forced to retreat in the face of thousands of gargoyles.

One of the main topic of today’s meeting is discussing Alex’s invitation to jointly destroy the Abyss Gate. Alex’s main objective, of course, is to show how to get past the Cerberus gate and defeat the last guard of the Abyss Gate. With that, those who followed their team could apply what they saw to their respective Abyss Gate.

Naturally, the number of invitations from Alex was very limited. Each country could send as many troops as possible, but only a maximum of 10 fighters were allowed to enter the Abyss gate. Those who entered had to at least reach the middle stage of Sky realm. It was decided that they will gather on Bali Island 5 days from now.

After that, they started an open discussion session where they could talk about things related to the alliance pacts, trading agreement or so on.

The meeting finished just before 7 o’clock.

Leaving the meeting room, a faint smile appeared on Alex’s face as he thought of his family waiting for him to have dinner together.

Looking forward to his wife’s cooking, Alex thought.

’I guess it’s time for me to relax.’

At this moment, he needs to stop worrying about protecting the world and Time to enjoy living it.

Alex returns to his residence and has dinner together with his wife Devita, the two daughters Tiffany and Tiara. Their aunt Vonny and also they invite Rick, his family and daughter Vina to join. Alex treasures such a moment as soon enough the Doomsday Tribulation will start.
