Chapter 293: The Great Flood That Destroyed Everything
Chapter 293: The Great Flood That Destroys Everything
Soon, they found a lot of animals to bring into the cabin.
After everything was done, looking at the heavy rain still falling outside the cabin, Pyrrha murmured doubtfully, "Will there really be a big flood?"
“Will this rainstorm continue?”
"It will definitely happen!" Deucalion said firmly, "I believe that god will not lie to us!"
Time passed slowly, and the heavy rain kept falling, as if there would never be a day when it would stop.
Meanwhile, deep in the ocean.
Poseidon, the god of the sea, also raised the trident in his right hand and shouted, "O sea, obey my command!"
boom!
Terrifying divine power was released from him and the trident.
In an instant, a horrifying scene appeared on the endless dark sea.
The surface of the sea began to shake, and then huge waves suddenly rose up and swept straight towards the earth.
The people on the seashore soon saw the tsunami that covered the sky and the sun, and their faces turned pale with fear.
"Ah! Run! It's a tsunami!"
“How could there be such a huge tsunami?”
"It's God. God wants to destroy us?!"
In terror, they ran desperately, trying to escape the huge waves.
Unfortunately, the speed at which they run cannot compare to the speed of the tsunami.
boom!
In the huge waves, the people on the beach were swallowed up one by one.
The huge waves spread rapidly, engulfing one place after another, and the screams of fear and despair of human beings were endless.
"Deucalion, what he said is actually true!"
"No, I don't want to die!"
Countless humans attempted to save themselves, or tried to run to the mountain where Deucalion's wooden ship was.
Unfortunately, it was too late. In despair and regret, they were drowned by the huge waves.
It was already dark outside, and now it became even more terrifying.
"what……"
On the mountain, Deucalion, Pyrrha and a group of animals in the wooden boat also felt the vibration coming from the cabin, as if a huge wave was sweeping the ship.
"big flood?"
"The Great Flood is really coming?" Pyrrha murmured in shock.
Hearing the horrifying noises coming from outside and the creaking of the wooden boat, she hugged Deucalion in fear.
Time passed slowly, and Deucalion didn't know how long the rain and flood lasted. He and Pyrrha just hid helplessly in the cabin.
Legend describes the scene as follows.
The flood lasted for forty days on earth. The water continued to rise, floating the ark.
The flood came with great force and covered the earth, but the ark floated steadily on the water.
The waters grew stronger and stronger, covering all the high mountains on the earth.
Finally, the water level was twenty-two feet higher than the mountains.
All living things on earth died, including birds, livestock, beasts, reptiles, and humans.
All living things on land that breathed through their nostrils died.
God destroyed all living things on earth, including humans, animals, reptiles on the ground, and birds in the air, leaving only Deucalion, Pyrrha, and various animals in the ark.
God took care of the people and animals in the ark, so he sent a strong wind to sweep the earth, and the water gradually receded. The floods on the earth and the water sources in the sky were closed, and the rain stopped.
...Fairy Lake.
Su Xing looked helpless, with a golden glow on his body.
The vast golden energy constantly resists the incoming floods and protects the Fairy Lake from being destroyed.
Su Xing ignored the waves of flood and frowned in the water.
"Prophecy is not enough!"
His intuition could vaguely sense that if he was just a little bit away, an inexplicable change would occur!
But how can we complete this last bit?
He couldn't help but look at Deucalion and Pyrrha who were living in the wooden boat on the distant water.
He touched his chin and thought, "If I remember correctly, when the flood receded, the next generation of humans would be born, and this generation of humans would be indirectly created by Deucalion and Pyrrha..."
……
Mount Olympus.
Zeus sat on the throne of gods, quietly watching the flooded earth.
He saw that countless humans had died, millions and tens of millions of people had died, leaving only a poor couple alive, floating on the sea in a wooden boat.
Zeus' divine eyes saw that Deucalion and Pyrrha, apart from eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, spent most of their time in the large wooden boat praying to the gods, asking them to forgive them.
Seeing this scene, a look of satisfaction flashed across his face.
Most importantly, because Deucalion and Pyrrha are demigods, they are not affected by Pandora's Box and remain kind.
In particular, they are very pious to the gods.
His anger gradually subsided.
He summoned Boreas, the god of the north wind, who dispersed the dark clouds and thick fog, allowing the sky to be bright again.
Deep in the ocean.
Upon seeing this, Poseidon stopped releasing his divine power. The rolling waves receded, the sea water obediently retreated to the high bank, and the river water returned to the riverbed.
The treetops emerged from the deep water, their leaves covered with mud. The mountains reappeared, the plains spread out, and the earth recovered.
……
Everything gradually calmed down, and the sun appeared from the horizon, shining on the wet ground.
Deucalion and Pyrrha stayed in the cabin for a while before they dared to walk out of the cabin carefully.
Looking at the desolate, muddy and wet environment around him, which looked like a dead place, Deucalion could not help shedding tears and murmured, "Pyrrha, everyone else was swallowed by the flood. Now there are only two of us left."
"But it's hard for us to survive. Even the sight of a cloud scares me. Even if all dangers are over, what can we two lonely people do in this desolate world?"
"If only I could create humans like my father Prometheus..."
Hearing his pessimistic words, Pyrrha, who was already terrified and panicked, couldn't help crying.
After crying for a while, Pyrrha thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Brother Deucalion, how about we pray to the god who warned you?"
“Perhaps, He can give us help?”
Deucalion was stunned when he heard this, and then he became excited, "Okay, let's try it!"
The two men quickly knelt on the ground and prayed to the god who helped them successfully avoid the flood.
"God, please tell us how to create the lost generation of humans. Oh, please help the fallen earth to regenerate!"
Having been secretly observing their awakening, he naturally heard their prayers and their needs.
His mind moved, and he instantly knew where to fill in the last bit of the prophecy.
His eyes turned to Deucalion and Pyrrha.
The next second, a mysterious voice suddenly rang in the ears of Deucalion and Pyrrha who were praying.
