Chapter 3187 The Terrifying Tally
The silent anticipation seemed to have spread across the entire world. Every ear on the planet perked up for the shocking moment.
Even the forces behind Zarain who were initially indifferent, as well as Erudia’s Ecclesiastic Order, began to pay attention for fear of missing out on hearing the number for the first time.
The whole world is about to explode in anticipation of this moment!
Although every Xyperian knew that the total number of Deities was mind-numbingly large, they still wanted to know the specific number.
It was for that specific moment of revelation that they had held back from learning about it the night before when the tally was concluded. Although the number had been verified numerous times beyond the shadow of a doubt, the Xyperians forbade it from being uttered despite their own burning curiosity to be able to witness history.
Even members of Idrae held their shoulders with one another in anticipation of that moment.
It was also due in no small part to the contributions of Elterton Union to have come that far as the success of their endeavor was literally a matter of life and death. As a result, they were more eager to hear that terrible number than anybody else.
Unable to withstand this pressure, some within the crowd began fainting one after another.
The elderly even fell dead on the spot from aneurysms.
Even Dr. Erebus and his companion were unable to bear the extreme pressure on their hearts and brains much longer.
Titan Lord savored the anticipation he had built as he watched the members of the crowd drop to the ground intermittently from a deadly combination of aneurysm and asphyxiation.
Though Levi was pleased with the prospect of a battle worthy of his effort, he did not attempt to stop Titan Lord as he too was curious about the number of Deities.
It is better to have specific data for the purposes of future bragging rights. I can tell people exactly how many Deities I kill today.
If they were only a handful of Deities, Levi would not have offered them the luxury of mocking him by just eliminating all of them and moving on with his day.
Titan Lord finally deemed the audience ready. “Are you ready to witness history?” he called, before having his voice drowned out by the impatient roar of the crowd.
Such a historical event may only happen once in this life!
Every eye in the audience was fixated on Titan Lord as the whole world held its breath.
With the anticipation effectively doubled, the death toll crept higher with every passing second.
Just as the survivors within the crowd felt their nerves stretched to the breaking point, Titan Lord’s sonorous voice in their ears felt like sweet relief.
“Without further ado, I will now announce the actual number of Deities. After an overnight count, Elterton Union has a total of five hundred and seventy-three thousand, eight hundred and thirty-seven Deities!”
Titan Lord’s voice grew hoarse from bellowing the last sentence as if to justify the magnitude of the historic moment by announcing it with every ounce of strength he had.
Like the reverberation of a massive gong, his proclamation spread all across the Elterton plateau and tore the world apart.
“Five hundred and seventy-three thousand, eight hundred and thirty-seven Deities!”
The entire world fell silent as the number had exceeded everybody’s wildest guesses.
Two hundred thousand was our initial estimation. Turns out it’s nearly thrice that number! No wonder there isn’t even space for a mouse to wriggle through between them!
Even the members of the audience with the best vantage points on the higher altitude became horror-struck when they realized that they could not fully capture the far stretch swarm of the gruesome army.
The sheer enormity of Xyperia’s makes my scalp tingle!
