Li Xini stood up abruptly, unable to hide his shock, "A radius of more than 3,500 meters?!"
"Yes, this is only a preliminary estimate." Bai Jiang wiped the sweat off his forehead, his voice became even more anxious, "As time passes, this asteroid will continue to absorb other matter in the universe as it moves."
"By the time it reaches Earth, the worst-case scenario is that its radius will exceed 150 kilometers!"
Li Xini's face also turned pale, "Oh my God …"
"Also, it's not just one asteroid." Bai Jiang took a deep breath, "Around this largest asteroid, there are many asteroids with a radius of a few hundred meters. This is an asteroid group!"
Asteroids colliding with Earth only existed in science fiction movies.
But throughout the billions of years of Earth's long history, this kind of thing had happened millions of times and many times led to the extinction of species.
Some scientists estimated that the dinosaurs hundreds of thousands of years ago were destroyed by an asteroid after it hit Earth.
Li Xini had never even heard of an asteroid with a radius of 3,500 meters, let alone one with a radius of 150 kilometers.
For so many years, in addition to cracking down on all kinds of illegal activities such as transnational criminals, IBI also had a department dedicated to dealing with all kinds of disasters.
The department had early warning and countermeasures for disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, and other disasters.
Although asteroids colliding with Earth was too rare, IBI also had corresponding measures to deal with it.
But they had never encountered an asteroid group.
Such a large asteroid was enough to collapse the entire Earth.
After a few seconds, Li Xini had already calmed down and made a prompt decision, "Report this matter to the officer, then contact Norton University!"
At the same time, in Norton University, across the Atlantic Ocean from IBI headquarters.
"What's the backup plan?" The vice president paced back and forth in the astrology observation room, roaring, "Can't we change its flight path?! Even if we can't change it, we can still use a long-range machine to shoot it down! "
"Vice … vice president, if we observed it a year or even three months in advance, theoretically, we can completely avoid it." One of the professors pushed up his glasses and said anxiously, "But they appeared out of nowhere. No one knows why they're heading towards Earth!"
"We … we don't have time at all."
The vice-principal wanted to say something, but his communicator was forcefully turned on.
At the same time, Ying Zijin, Fu Yunshen, Norton, Li Xini, and Bai Jiang all entered the online conference room.
When the vice-principal saw Norton's silver hair, he was terrified. "Principal!"
He tried to signal Ying Zijin with his eyes, hoping that she could suppress Norton who was about to explode.
However, to the vice-principal's surprise, Norton did not scold him. Instead, he smiled and said, "I know you've done well."
The vice-principal was trembling with fear. "Principal, principal, I know you must be very angry. You must be so angry that you've lost your mind."
Norton looked up coldly. "Scram."
The vice-principal heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness it's the principal."
"Cut the crap." Ying Zijin raised her head. "Report the situation."
"It's like this, sir." The vice-principal took a deep breath. "We've been observing the universe as usual, but today, we suddenly discovered a group of asteroids that are crashing towards Earth."
He explained the ins and outs of the matter. "Sir, this is a matter of life and death for all mankind!"
Qin Lingyu listened and frowned. "Death did this?"
Even the original four sages could not stop a disaster of this level.
Fu Yunshen said calmly, "How is that possible? He doesn't have the ability to do this. It's just a disaster."
"I understand." Ying Zijin was still calm. "Proceed according to all the existing defensive measures. Leave the rest to me. Please trust me."
The vice-principal was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up straight. "Yes, I trust you, sir!"
He knew a long time ago that in this world, only Ying Zijin could be trusted forever.
Norton said slowly, "I can't go back for the time being. You're still in charge of Norton University. I'm not kidding. I mean, Decker, you've done a good job."
The vice-principal's eyes reddened. "Principal …"
"Okay, I'm annoyed when I see you." Norton pressed the button. "I'm hanging up."
The vice-principal, who had not been touched for a second, was speechless.
After the meeting, Ling Mianxi stood up. "I'll go to the research institute to help."
Qin Lingyu also said, "I'll go with you."
The sages went out and started to move.
Fu Yunshen turned and saw the girl staring ahead in a daze.
He narrowed his eyes and reached out to hold her shoulder. "Yaoyao?"
"I'm wondering where my 'heart' is." Ying Zijin slowly massaged her temples and said, "I thought I was the one who had lost my 'heart'. But now, it seems that I was born without a heart."
Without a heart, she lost all her emotions.
"No wonder Miss Ying ignored me at that time." Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows. "She hurt my heart for a long time. I even hid and cried."
"Pfft —" Qin Lingyan spat out a mouthful of coke and choked.
Fu Yunshen raised his peach blossom eyes and glanced over indifferently.
"Continue, continue." Qin Lingyan hugged the coke bottle and rolled away. "I didn't hear anything!"
"Yeah." Ying Zijin glanced at him. "The heartless Miss Ying still fell in love with the annoying Mr. D at that time."
"Annoying?" Fu Yunshen dragged out his tone. "I'm really sad now."
"Are you acting coquettishly again?" Ying Zijin pushed him. "Hurry up and get to work."
Fu Yunshen stood up and said lazily, "Yes, Madam."

On the other side.
In the underground office of Black Skull.
With the help of that person, Tower and Zhou Yan recovered a lot from their injuries and could barely get up.
"Hey, I'm still a little uneasy." Yao Guang leaned against the wall and frowned. "Of the original four sages, The Fool and Temperance have fallen, but Judgement and World are still there, and they haven't appeared yet."
"There is no such thing as a world in this world." That person said indifferently. "As for Judgement? She can't compare to me now. "
"That's true." Hearing this, Yao Guang's brows relaxed. "You represent death, and Judgement represents resurrection. We haven't been able to find her all these years, but she's no longer a threat to you."
For the Sage Grim Reaper, among the 22 sages, the greatest threat was actually the Sage Judgement.
This was because the Sage Grim Reaper and the Sage Judgement represented the two extremes of "death" and "resurrection". They were the only pair of sages that countered each other.
The Sage Judgement was originally their number one target.
But after all, Judgement was one of the original four sages. It wasn't as easy to find her as Power and Justice.
"Well, high-tech has its benefits." That person looked up and said indifferently, "Now, everyone knows that the end of the world is coming."
And everything would be destroyed.
Yao Guang crossed her arms. "That's normal. These years, there have been more than ten thousand near-Earth asteroids. There will always be one that can destroy Earth."
Then, she clicked her tongue. "Sha Luo really thought that the reason why space carriers couldn't be built was to prevent the powerhouses from other universes from coming over."
In reality, it was just to prevent anyone from escaping this apocalyptic disaster.
"Yao Guang, let's go." That person was still indifferent. "Let's go to the Sage Courtyard and bring the Pope and the Priestess here."
Yao Guang jumped down. "It's time to start the second Holy War."

On the other side, Ying Zijin also went to the research institute and began to formulate a defense plan.
It was now less than a week until midnight of January 1st, 20XX.
She still couldn't see anything beyond the void.
Obviously, this was the end of the world.
She had talked with The Fool before and discussed what to do if one day, a disaster that none of the sages could resist appeared.
"Ah Ying, something happened again!" Ling Mianxi hurried over with a serious expression. "There's news from all over, saying that the World City can be seen in the seven continents and four oceans!"
Ying Zijin's eyes turned cold. "Let's go and take a look."
The World City was originally located on Earth.
From a physics perspective, because of the different dimensions, the World City couldn't be seen in the seven continents and four oceans.
But now, they could see it.
"News! December 24th, 20XX, 3: 53 AM, an unknown plate suddenly appeared in the sky above the continent. Scientists are currently examining it. Please calm down. "
Every region, every language was reporting the same thing.
And at this time, everyone in the seven continents and four oceans could see this huge city called the World City slowly appearing above their heads.
