Editing City Series:Volume6e Chapter7 (section)

===Part 5===

It was undoubtedly a deafening heartbeat.

The sky, earth, and everyone listening were shaken equally.

This was the same vibration as when Tristan was initially boosted.

That was why Hazel held her right eye and stood up on the RB-21.

“Tristan is starting back up!? But why!?”

The giant cross did not answer. It only quickened its pulse and continued shaking even as it fell apart.

The atmospheric reverberation resumed and everything shook. That tremor was answered by lights shining from Tristan’s surface. The lights came back on, starting at the bottom and gradually working their way back up, growing brighter all the while.

An old man spoke from the two-hull ship floating behind Hazel.

“It’s Tragisch! And he hasn’t just restarted Tristan with his Beweisen! He’s Schreibened into it with his Ober Beweisen! Tristan is so unstable right now this is sure to cause it’s Tons to collapse!”

That shout was followed by some Aerial Words. They came from Tristan, carried by the tremor and the pulse.

''I grant power to those who were sacrificed

''So that those who have already been lost

''Are not erased by the hypocrisy of the survivors

They were simple Aerial Words, but their effect was seen near instantly.

Germania exploded.

“–––––!”

Everything inside the 6-mile-wide pit was obliterated and erupted from the ground.

The people, the buildings, the dirt, the vegetation, and everything else was consumed.

So much dust and ether flew skyward like a geyser. The gray pillar stretched far taller than even Tristan.

Several layers of what looked like white umbrellas spread out around the rising pillar of smoke.

A shockwave rushed out through the air.

The roar slammed into the two-hull warship and the RB-21 just as they turned their bellies toward Germania.

So many things cried out in terror and were blown away in the name of powerlessness.
