Did Chapter 74 sink? It really sank.
Did Chapter 74 sink? It really sank.
As the energy level of the high-energy pulse cannon continues to increase, cracks gradually appear in the dimensional barrier between Takamagahara and the Land of Night.
"It's over, the dimensional defenses are about to give way!"
Amaterasu Ōmikami collapsed weakly on her throne. Years of pampered life had robbed her of the composure befitting a goddess.
At this critical juncture, instead of rising to the challenge, they have lost their composure and become dejected.
But time will not stand still because of her.
The cracks on the dimensional barrier of Takamagahara spread rapidly.
Snapped!
Like a balloon being popped, the dimensional barrier of Takamagahara shattered.
In the myth of cherry blossoms, Takamagahara, symbolizing the sky kingdom, is revealed to the world.
Amidst the clouds and mist, the magnificent palace appears and disappears.
The palace gates were made of gold and inlaid with dazzling gemstones, like twinkling stars, radiating light.
It truly is the abode of the gods, the sacred temple of the sun goddess.
It is beautiful and luxurious, yet it is also full of tranquility and peace.
It inspires longing, yet one dares not easily disturb its tranquility.
The next instant, a high-energy pulse cannon, imbued with the light and heat of a star, pierced through the dimensional portal and bombarded the Takamagahara, shattering the tranquility and peace.
The clouds were torn apart, and the palace was destroyed.

The sounds of booming and explosions came from the bombarded palace.
Immediately afterwards, the high-energy pulse cannon pierced through Takamagahara.
From the point of penetration, the crack quickly spread across the entire Takamagahara.
Russell waved his hand, closing the portal.
bong
Another explosion came from Takamagahara.
Amidst the explosion, the entire Takamagahara was pulverized and plummeted from the sky.
—That is the shattered faith of the cherry blossom people.
The sky darkened at that moment.
Looking up, the sun appeared dim and lifeless.
It seems even it is mourning the fall of the sun goddess.
"Amaterasu Ōmikami is dead, and Takamagahara has been shattered."
As the sky suddenly darkened, the people of Sakura Island couldn't help but feel saddened.
On the deck of the space carrier, Natasha murmured to herself:
"Is this what a god is? The celestial phenomena change when they fall."
Dr. Banner scratched his head:
"Perhaps I can explain it."
The sun is about 500 light-seconds away from Earth.
"Just now, Russell bombarded Takamagahara with solar energy for exactly 500 seconds."
"Because Russell concentrated all the sunlight that was directed toward the Earth, darkness occurred."
"It has nothing to do with the death of Amaterasu Omikami."
“Yes, that’s right,” Tony confirmed.
They were very knowledgeable and easily figured out why the sun was getting darker and the sky was getting dark.
"If a planet's most powerful deity were to fall, it would indeed cause changes in celestial phenomena. However, such changes would be limited to a specific area and would rarely affect the entire planet."
A ring of fire appeared out of nowhere, and Loki's voice came out first.
Immediately afterwards, Loki and Thor emerged from the portal.
"I just sensed a strong energy fluctuation here, and then the whole sky went dark. Is Russell fighting someone? The Ancient One?"
"The Ancient One?"
The Avengers followed Thor and Loki's gaze and landed on an empty deck.
The light distorted, and the Ancient One dispelled her invisibility spell, revealing her form.
Although she knows how to fly, since there's a place to stand, there's no need for her to fly herself.
The Ancient One first greeted everyone with a smile before answering Loki's question.
"The Cherry Blossom pantheon has violated the agreement made with Kamar-Taj five hundred years ago, and Russell is attacking them."
Thor, delighted at the prospect of battle, asked, "Ancient One, do you need our help?"
Ancient One shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, Thor. But it's not necessary. Russell can handle it himself."
On the space carrier, the sudden appearance of the Ancient One, Thor, and Loki became the focus of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attention.
Nick Fury secretly plotted how to make contact with the Ancient One and his companions.
He wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
......
In the land of the night, Tsukuyomi, who witnessed all of this, had a face filled with sorrow and worry.
In a short period of time, he lost his sister and brother who had been with him for many years.
Of course, what saddened and worried him was not the deaths of his sister and brother.
Instead, death was about to befall him.
"Embed the Kingdom of Night into the earth, quickly!"
Coming to her senses, Tsukuyomi quickly gave instructions to the guards.
"The defenses of the Night Kingdom alone cannot withstand this mage's magic; we must shift our attack to the land."
At this moment, Tsukuyomi felt incredibly fortunate.
He is the god of the underworld who rules over death, and his kingdom of night is underground, not in the air.
Otherwise, what was just shot down wouldn't have been Takamagahara, but his Night Country.
Ok?
Russell was surprised when the dimensional barrier of the Night Kingdom suddenly stabilized.
Without needing to observe closely, Russell discovered the truth.
"Tsukuyomi has redirected some of her attacks to Sakura Island."
Not only Russell, but everyone on the space carrier, and even the people of Sakura Island in the mirror space, noticed the anomaly.
Sakura Island is sinking and moving!
As a chain reaction, major earthquakes occurred almost simultaneously in many parts of Sakura Island.
Volcanoes everywhere erupted.
A tsunami swept in.
The entire Sakura Island seemed to have been transformed into a living hell, with a scene of apocalypse everywhere.
"Is this... pushing the entire Sakura Island into the Mariana Trench and sinking it into the sea?"
The learned Dr. Banner noticed something was amiss.
"Sakura Island is advancing towards the Mariana Trench, which is 200 kilometers away, and the speed of advancement is constantly accelerating."
High above, Russell remained calm.
Tsukuyomi's decision to redirect the attack aimed at the Land of Night to the land of Sakura Island was indeed unexpected.
But how long can Sakura Island hold out for the Kingdom of Night?
Once outside of Sakura Island, Tsukuyomi no longer had the ability to redirect her attacks.
Time is passing by little by little.
Sakura Island is constantly being pushed into the Mariana Trench, and the island is being submerged by seawater.
Good news: the fire that swept across the entire island has been extinguished.
The escaping sunlight and heat scorched the sea, and water vapor rose upwards.
Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, the people of Sakura Island in the mirrored space seemed to have arrived at a mirage.
If they maintain a positive attitude, they should be able to appreciate the beauty of this broken landscape, the crumbling walls, and the cracked ground—a beauty of fragmentation and incompleteness.
Boom!
Suddenly, a massive tremor reverberated throughout the entire island.
We've arrived at the Mariana Trench.
Under the influence of gravity, the entire island accelerated its slide toward the Mariana Trench.
When it plunged into the Mariana Trench, the island fractured at points where the forces were unevenly distributed.
The earth was torn apart with an intensity far exceeding any previous earthquake.
The sea surface also surged, creating huge waves.
If these giant waves are not dealt with, they could very likely trigger tsunamis along other coastal areas.
High in the sky, Russell activated his talent, absorbed the kinetic energy of the giant wave, and smoothed it out.
Moments later, the entire Sakura Island plunged into the Mariana Trench.
It is considered a possible sinking of Sakurajima tens of thousands of years from now.
At this moment, it is unfolding.
