    Day #500


    The awaited tribtion came as expected. It began with purple lightnings rampaging across the vast firmament. The spectacle looked like hundreds of violet snakes dancing amidst the dark gloomy thunderclouds. It was followed by strong tremors on the ground, causing tree to fall and buildings to crack. Then, the tribtion began.


    Tens of thousands of Abyss Pit spread across the Earth all simultaneously bared their fangs to the world, releasing hundreds of millions Abyss creatures hidden within. They had been waiting for this moment and when it finally came they immediately poured out of the Abyss like raging floods, marking the Earth with their presence.


    This disaster was the next catastrophe that marked the end of days for the people on Earth. It did back in Alex''s previous life and it would still do the same in this life.


    Fortunately, things would be different this time as 80% of the current Earth survivors had been warned, which hopefully could reduce the damage and loss received. More than 120 millions humans had made their own preparations to wee the tribtion.


    Those people had migrated all their family and belongings to the nearest Doomsday Pir where they were. They worked together in whatever capacity they could to face the iing threats.


    The Earth realm and Sky realm fighters, the soldiers, even the normal civilians with nobat capability; all of them were banding together. All of this for one purpose: survival.


    Through the Pirwork, it was ounted 252 Doomsday Pirs out of 1000 had been activated and used as defensive bases and shelters all over the world. These were all that was left of humanity.


    As for the other 20%, whose situations were not known, their fate was left to the mercy of God and Abyss creatures.


    -


    The first 7 days of the tribtion was the hardest period that humanity had to go through, especially for those located near an Abyss Pit.


    Only a few capable and aplished Pirmunities with experienced leadership managed to clear up the closest Abyss Pit in their area and killed the Chimera. This caused the difficulty of attacks they had to face tremendously reduced.


    Some others were fortunate enough to reside in a Doomsday Pir that was located quite a distance away from the Abyss Pit, which meant the attacks they had to face were much less violent.


    However, the majority of people in the Doomsday Pir across the world had to face the tribtion in itsplete form. This meant they had to depend on a sheer number of fighters or arge amount of spirit stones.


    The former would make them able to defend themself when the horde of Abyss creatures break in, while thetter would allow them to always maintain their Shield Barrier fully charged at all times.


    Either way, the Doomsday Pirs that were strategically ced geographically would always be the ones who had the most advantage. For example, the Doomsday Pirs in Bali Ind.


    Since there was only one Abyss Pit in the ind, the people found the area was very safe from the attacks, other than the asional gargoyles that could be seen flying from the nearby inds.


    Likewise, the Pirmunity who found themselves located in not-so-adventurous regions would be the most challenging of all. For example, those who had to cover a lot of area due to the many Doomsday Pirs in their possession.


    Day #503


    Novosibirsk. Russia


    Russia, thergest country in the world, and once again bestowed with the title after the apocalypse as the country with the most number of Doomsday Pirs came under their control. A total of 25 Doomsday Pirs, shared among its 3 millions and more survivors.


    Ever since the fall of Moscow during the pandemic, its central government took a hit for a period of time before they managed to create a defensive parameter on the eastern south of its territory, on their three currentrgest cities.


    But even though they now focused their defense on the three cities, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk, they still found it very difficult to cover the protracted defensive line with hundreds of monoliths spread around the area.


    It was only because of their sheer forces of strong fighters and massive supplies of weaponry, especially their 10000 plus tanks that lined up across the line, the Russians were able to hold their ground.


    Day #506


    Madurai, India


    On the opposite side of Russia, who had a lot of Doomsday Pirs but barely any people, the world also had India. A country who had thergest number of survivors ounted for. As many as 7 million people were in India, sharing their living space of only 3 Doomsday Pirs.


    It took weeks for the government to convince all these people to gather at the south tip of the country, using Madurai City as the focal point of the defensive line. They held out together and faced countless waves of Abyss creatures. Thanks to their fighters'' do-or-die attitude and their high numbers, they were also able to hold out the 7 days worth of hell.


    When the 7 days were over,rge parts of Abyss creatures would return to their Abyss Pit, while some would have a sh of power, taking over therge, abandoned cities that were upied by the undead.


    In conclusion, after 7 days passed the world was no longer the same. The undead and Abyss creatures were now the main resident of the, while the humans were struggling to survive and only able to move around the Doomsday Pirs.


    While most were only able to cower behind the barrier that the Pirs provided, there were also some who hoped to regain control of theirnd.


    One of these people were the Americans.


    When the 7 days were over, unbeknownst to others, they began to carry out the next phase of their n.
