While the rest of the world's scientists were frantically searching for geological explanations, claiming it was a sudden tectonic slip, or perhaps a volatile energy release caused by portal instability, none of those theories even brushed close to the truth.
It wasn't tectonic.
It wasn't a rift event.
It wasn't even natural.
The cause of the tremor that had rattled the planet for those brief, terrifying seconds...was Nadia Lunayeva Terranova, the Celestial Maiden of Heaven and Earth.
Her SSS-Class Blessing, "Apocalypse Imperium: Dominion Over Heaven and Earth," was no mere gift.
It was an absolute weapon.
A blessing so overwhelming that even its very name carried the word Apocalypse, and unlike the poetic exaggerations used by most blessed, hers was meant quite literally.
Her power was the control of the earth itself, the ground, the rock, the dust, the soil. Every grain, every plate, every mineral answered to her command.
