All Heavens: Sharing Talents with Countless Mes

All Heavens: Sharing Talents with Countless Me Text Volume Chapter 124 Pluto is Born! Shanks and the Five Old Stars! An emergency meeting is taking place in the General's Mansion in the Flower Capital.

Ryu informed Hiyori Kozuki of his decision to destroy the wall.

She is the heir recognized by everyone and the current general of Wano. Only she can decide the future of Wano.

After the retainers of the Kozuki family learned about this incident, they all advised her to stop the revolutionary army's actions.

In their view, this was an act to destroy Wano.

If necessary, they are even willing to go to war directly with the revolutionary army.

The two groups of people who originally got along very harmoniously also fell into a stalemate.

The two sides were at each other's throats.

If a conflict occurs, the alliance that was finally established may be disbanded and everyone goes their separate ways.

The choice was placed in the hands of Hiyori Kozuki.

The girl looked very nervous, her lips were white, and she was trembling slightly.

In this case, she nodded in agreement without hesitation.

There is only one reason.

The founding of the country is the lifelong wish of his father Kozuki Oden!

Kozuki Hiyori didn't know if destroying the wall would lead to the so-called "founding of the country", but at least this was a start and a direction.

She was willing to give it a try.

After Guangzuki Rihe made the final decision, the opposition voices immediately became much smaller.

The general trend.

There is no point in holding on any longer.

After reaching an agreement, the wall-breaking operation was carried out in full swing.

The country of Wano mobilized the whole country, men, women, old and young, to go into battle and wear down the mountain wall bit by bit.

Chu Yang is responsible for the area near the waterfall. It is his territory and it is easier to deal with things.

Quinn, Gaji, and Caesar were responsible for moving everything in the laboratory to land. Once the walls were destroyed, the attic would no longer exist.

Chu Yang used Wood Escape and summoned a hundred-meter-tall tree man to start destroying wildly. The violent vibrations even caused a tsunami.

One day later, the entrance to the waterfall collapsed first, revealing a huge gap. As the seawater continued to drain out, the water level in the Wano Inland Sea dropped, exposing more mountain walls.

The speed at which others destroy the mountain wall is greatly increased as a result.

Wano's high-profile "founding" act immediately attracted the attention of the Navy, which reported it to the World Government as quickly as possible.

No one knows what Wano is doing, even the Five Old Stars are confused.

Is it possible that the revolutionary army was planning to surrender, so they took the initiative to destroy natural barriers that were easy to defend but difficult to attack?

Even thinking about it seems impossible.

Unless these people are crazy, there is absolutely no reason to do this.

The World Government held several large and small meetings on this matter and continued to analyze it, but could not find a reasonable explanation. In the end, it could only let the navy closely monitor it.

The news was received all over the world, and for a time, the situation in Wano attracted the attention of many people.

Redford.

"Yang and the others seem to be doing something very interesting. Should we go over and take a look?"

"Whatever you want, you are the captain, you decide."

Red-haired Shanks was lying on the deck basking in the sun, while Captain Beckman stood nearby smoking a cigarette.

"If we go there, the navy won't just watch. They will definitely follow us."

Laqi Lu held the leg of an unknown creature in his hand and ate it happily.

"Those marines are really annoying. They haven't given up even after chasing them for so many days. Why don't we stop and have a fight with them."

Jesus Bu looked into the distance and said with a dissatisfied expression.

"That's Garp's warship. It's better not to provoke him for the time being. He sees me as an enemy now, so it's better to stay away."

Shanks turned over and sat up, stretched, yawned and said: "Never mind this, let's go! To Wano Country! I haven't seen that kid Yang for a long time, and I don't know what level of overlord color he is now. ?”

Ben Beckman raised the corner of his mouth and said happily: "After all, I have defeated Kaido, so the look of the Overlord should be no worse than that of the Captain!"

"If that kid comes back, I guess I'll have to give him the position of vice captain."

Everyone laughed after hearing this.

No one thought that Chu Yang would no longer be a member of the red-haired pirates after he became stronger.

Shanks looked into the distance with an expectant expression on his face.

"I really want to get to Wano Country as soon as possible!"

……

Time passes day by day.

Apart from digging mountains every day, Chu Yang and the others basically did nothing else. Even the revolutionary army operating outside had become much more low-key.

This strange calm makes the world government restless, like the depression of an approaching storm.

The Navy is unable to spare any effort to suppress the pirates rioting around the world.

The World Government can only rely on cp0 as an eye to monitor Wano. Even if it wants to launch an attack to stop Wano, it will not be able to summon matching combat power in a short time.

Compared to the Celestial Dragon sitting on the wax, Chu Yang was more excited because he was about to see the legendary ancient weapon Pluto.

When the mountain wall was halfway destroyed, the inner sea had been almost drained away, and the true form of Wano 800 years ago was gradually revealed in front of everyone.

A more majestic building complex with gorgeous and diverse shapes, and every area is as luxurious as the "Flower Capital".

Rainwater is not sea water and is not very corrosive to buildings. Even after 800 years, the buildings here do not feel too dilapidated.

Chu Yang took the lead in walking on the wet street, looking at everything around him with admiring eyes, looking for traces of Pluto.

Considering the size of Hades Pluto, if it were really here, it should be easy to find.

After half an hour.

Chu Yang found the general's mansion from 800 years ago and walked in with the mentality of giving it a try.

This place is big, but not big enough to accommodate Hades.

Looking at the empty General's Mansion, Chu Yang suddenly thought that there was a secret passage in the General's Mansion later, leading directly to the underground, where historical texts were hidden.

Will there be a secret passage in the General's Mansion here?

So, in the next few minutes, Chu Yang smashed the magnificent floor to pieces.

Huangtian paid off, he really found a passage.

Going down the passage, Chu Yang entered a dark and humid underground cave. The further inside, the wider it became.

A huge and ferocious warship was parked quietly on the underground river.

The size of Hades was even greater than Chu Yang imagined, more than a hundred times the size of the Redvers.

It is much larger than the Golden Emperor's giant ship "Gran Tezoro".

It is more like a fortress that can sail freely on the sea than a battleship.

"You don't even need to fire cannons. You can sink a naval fleet just by ramming it, right?"

Chu Yang looked down at Pluto below and let out a sincere sigh.

"The muzzle of the cannon is almost as big as a ship..."

"If this bombardment continues, won't it easily destroy an island?"

"No wonder there are legends that Pluto can destroy the Red Earth Continent. There is a reason why the Five Old Stars are so afraid of it."

"I wonder how many shots I can withstand?"

Chu Yang flew directly to the deck of Hades, looked at the bottomless barrel, and kept sighing.

After walking around on the deck, Chu Yang heard footsteps in the distance. He looked up and saw that Long and Tiger had also led people to find this place.

When everyone saw Pluto, their reaction was even more exaggerated than Chu Yang's. They all turned to stone like statues on the spot.

"Don't be stunned! Come down quickly and figure out how to drive!" Chu Yang shouted to the petrified people above.

Long and Tiger recovered from the shock, and then went down the stone steps in the cave and arrived in front of Hades.

Seeing Pluto from the front is even more shocking than looking down from above.

Pluto is completely black, as if it were made from a complete piece of steel, with a seamless shape without any trace of cutting.

Chu Yang walked to the edge and put down the rope ladder so that they could climb up from below.

The event took nearly half a minute just to climb the rope ladder.

"There should be another entrance. You have to go to the control room to see the distribution map. Otherwise, you will be exhausted climbing up and down every day."

"It would be great if there was a shipwright here who knew Pluto's designs."

Tiger climbed onto the deck and couldn't help but complain to Chu Yang, but it reminded Chu Yang of something.

You can go to Shanks and ask for the legendary shipwright Tom.

I believe that as long as Chu Yang opens his mouth, Shanks and Tom will not refuse.

People boarded the ship one after another. In addition to the members of the Revolutionary Army and the crew of the Fish-Man Pirates, samurai from Wano also appeared on the deck.

And of course their current general, Hiyori Kozuki.

Chu Yang took Long and Tiger into the control room located in the rear half of the ship.

Unlike most pirate ships, the layout of Hades is closer to that of a modern ship, with things like the rudder in the control room.

Chu Yang did not activate Pluto rashly. After observing for a while, he led others into the cabin.

The rest room, storage room, etc. are not important. There will be plenty of time to take a look at it in the future. What Chu Yang wants to see most now is Pluto's power and energy room.

The Sonny is a pirate ship built by Franky with reference to Pluto. Coke can be used as energy for attack, defense, and escape at critical moments.

Chu Yang felt that Hades should have a similar design.

Moreover, the cannon outside is so big that ordinary artillery shells cannot match it. There should be other things used as ammunition.

Long went to the weapons room.

Tiger was leading the fish people around.

Only Chu Yang came to the power room alone.

Pluto's power source is like a huge heart, standing quietly in the innermost part of the room.

Chu Yang even had the illusion that the power source was beating.

He walked closer, looked carefully, and found that the surface of the power source was an unknown metal.

He stretched out his hand to touch it again. It wasn't hard to the touch, but when he pinched it with his fingers, it was even a little soft.

The texture is similar to cartilage…

"Could it really be the heart of some huge creature?"

Chu Yang was startled by his own thoughts.

After observing for a while, Chu Yang left the power room and returned to the rest area.

At this time, Long and Tiger had also completed their investigation.

Everyone focused their attention on Chu Yang, waiting for his further instructions.

"I took a look just now. There is no exit at the end of the river. We still have to get the boat to the ground."

"The wall-breaking operations must also be carried out simultaneously, so that after getting Pluto up, he can enter the sea as soon as possible."

"There are still world governments and various forces guarding the outside. The moment Pluto is born, the war will begin. Be prepared for battle. Don't take it lightly."

After Chu Yang finished speaking, Long, as the leader of the revolutionary army, continued to speak a few more words, followed by Tiger and Hiyori Kozuki.

Basically some words of encouragement.

After returning to the ground, everyone worked harder and harder. The appearance of Pluto greatly boosted morale.

Chu Yang was considering going to find Tom, and only the other party was the most familiar with Pluto.

Otherwise, letting them drive as a group of laymen would be a waste of resources.

The sea is vast and it is not an easy task to find the red-haired pirates.

When Chu Yang left, he didn't leave the Flying Thunder God's spell as coordinates, but now that he thought about it, it was still a bit hasty.

"Now that Wano Country has no natural protection, the main body cannot leave easily, so we can only send shadow clones to go out and look for it."

The shadow clones were too fragile and there were many uncertainties. Chu Yang could only send out a large number of shadow clones at once to increase the error tolerance.

The next day.

The cp0 members who were responsible for monitoring the country of Wano were stunned when they saw countless Chu Yang flying out from the sky above the country of Wano!

He tremblingly took out his phone and reported it to Wulaoxing, but he was scolded by the other party and asked if he had drunk too much.

He put down the phone bug, his eyes glazed over.

"What can we do now?"

After sending out the shadow clones, Chu Yang took Quinn and others to move the laboratory to Hades, occupying most of the rest area.

There's more than enough room left for everyone else.

Anyway, they will not live on Pluto for a long time. After defeating the Celestial Dragons, the whole world will be liberated. If there is no war, who will care about this battleship?

Time continued to pass, and another week passed.

The mountain walls around Wano Country have been almost completely cleared, and the buildings from 800 years ago have reappeared in front of the world.

Because of the previous weird behavior, many forces have gathered outside the country of Wano. Newsbird boss Morgans is hovering over the country of Wano, preparing for first-hand exclusive news.

Before people could admire the magnificence of the building, their eyes were attracted by a huge warship.

Only then did the World Government understand what Chu Yang and the others were doing.

Although no one has ever seen Pluto, the moment it appears, everyone who sees it knows...

That huge battleship is Hades!

Morgans was shocked!

He paused in mid-air for a long time, then his eyes flashed with excitement, and he soared into the sky and disappeared.

"This is the big news that can really turn the world upside down!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Wild laughter echoed over Wano Country.

The news of Pluto's birth was spread to every corner of the world by news birds, and even the world government could not cover up the news.

East China Sea, Windmill Village Tavern.

The village chief who was holding the newspaper was trembling slightly after seeing the news clearly on the home page.

"Village Chief, are you not old enough to suffer from Alzheimer's disease? Why are you still shaking?"

The villagers were drinking and teasing the village chief. They didn't shut up until they were shot in the head one by one with a walking stick.

"Village Chief, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

The tavern owner Makino asked worriedly.

"It's not that I'm uncomfortable, it's that the world is going to be uncomfortable..."

The village chief sighed, a gloom appearing on his face, "Ever since the Revolutionary Army placed a bounty on the Celestial Dragons, the whole world has been swept into the torrent, and now the torrent has turned into a tsunami. I don't know how many people will die in this disaster. .”

Maginot smiled slightly, "I think you are overthinking it. With a hero like Mr. Garp in the Navy, there won't be any big problems."

The village chief drank the rum on the bar in one gulp and said with a wry smile: "I don't know whether I hope Garp will come in handy or not."

Maginot looked confused. Why did she feel that there was something different about the village chief today? She couldn't understand what he said.

The village chief murmured to himself, "The world has longed for a new order for too long..."

Shuangyue Village, martial arts center.

Shigetsuki Koushiro was also reading today's news. The title read Wano Country in big letters, which made him look complicated.

It was a hometown he had never met before.

"Teacher, what are you looking at?" A green algae head suddenly appeared in Koushiro's field of vision.

Koushiro smiled and said, "It's Zoro. Why are you here if you don't practice your sword well?"

Zoro covered the big bump on his head and never mentioned that he had just provoked Kuina and was beaten instead.

Koushiro knew what was happening at a glance, and shook his head helplessly. Zoro would not give up, and his persuasion was in vain.

"Teacher, what is Hades?"

Zoro asked curiously, pointing at the newspaper.

"It's a terrible thing, and its power is enough to destroy the world."

Koushiro said with a serious expression.

"Ah? So is it going to destroy the world now? But I haven't defeated Kuina yet, what should I do?"

Zoro asked in a panic.

Koushiro touched his head and whispered: "Pluto can not only destroy the world, but also change it..."

West Sea, ruins of O'Hara.

O'Hara, once regarded as a sacred place of knowledge by countless scholars, was turned into ruins by a demon-slaying order.

A young man rode a bicycle, using the ice to clear a path, and crossed the sea to stop here.

He looks complicated.

“Does anyone still care about the truth of history?”

"Whether we win or lose in this battle, everything will be turned into the dust of history."

Twin Gorges.

The lighthouse keeper Koulokas was lying on the sun lounger reading the newspaper, and not far away, Rab was still hitting the red earth continent.

Seeing the news of Pluto's birth, Kurokas was stunned for a moment and said with emotion: "Roger, the era you mentioned seems to be coming early."

Alabasta.

King Kobra is sitting on the throne, listening to his men report the latest information about Wano.

Under the palace, a historical text recording the position of Pluto was still sleeping. Seeing that Pluto was really born, this made Cobra feel very complicated.

"Your Majesty the King, the World Government has sent a call for us to take soldiers to Mariejoia to guard the safety of the Celestial Dragons."

"Other coalition countries have received similar orders."

The captain of the escort team, Ikarem, reported the news respectfully.

"I heard that the Revolutionary Army was expanding very quickly, but I didn't expect that the situation would be so critical that Mary Joa would need external help to deal with it!"

"This is something that hasn't happened in hundreds of years."

Kobra stood up and paced in front of the throne, seeming to be making a very difficult decision.

"It's time for the rule of the Celestial Dragons to come to an end..."

City of Seven Waters.

Iceberg and Franky are fighting over the latest newspaper because it contains news about Pluto.

Pluto is a very special name for the shipwright.

It represents the ultimate in shipbuilding craftsmanship.

It is the end that the shipwright pursues in his life.

No shipwright dares to pat his chest and say that he is not interested in Hades at all.

"Obviously I got it first!"

"Fart! I paid for it!"

The two fought until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, their heads were bleeding, and their clothes were torn, but no one let go. In the end, Frankie, who often fought, was superior and grabbed the newspaper.

Looking at the giant thing on the newspaper in a daze, Franky felt that his soul was about to fly away.

Hades!

It was like this!

It would be great if I could see it with my own eyes!

If possible, let me touch it again...

Frankie showed a crazy smile and drooled everywhere.

While Franky was distracted, Bingshan grabbed the newspaper and saw the true face of Pluto.

He looked excited and touched the photo with his fingers.

"How about we go take a look?"

"The big guy's final destination seems to be Marie Joa."

Hearing Franky's suggestion, Bingshan was moved. For the first time, he had the idea of ​​Franky having a tacit understanding between the two.

at the same time.

There are many people from all over the world who consider the "Holy Land" Mary JoA as their destination.

Some of them want to be witnesses of history, while others want to be participants in history.

……

Chu Yang was lucky.

Just when all the shadow clones sent out were wiped out, the Redvers actually appeared in the country of Wano.

Goodbye Shanks.

He still had that familiar smile on his face.

Sincere and warm.

The same goes for the crew.

Vice Captain Ben Beckman was the first to come out to welcome Chu Yang.

Welcome Chu Yang back to the team.

Followed by Lucky Lu, Jesus Bu, ship doctor Hongo, navigator Snake and so on...

It was as if Chu Yang was never too far away and was always by their side.

Everyone was very happy and clamoring for a banquet.

The forces of the navy are gathering, but no one cares. It seems that they are not taken seriously at all.

The banquet will be held in the old Wano country.

night.

The banquet begins.

Music and the sound of barbecue started at the same time.

Hiyori Kozuki also participated with samurai and civilians.

The crowd sang and danced.

Under the light of the fire.

Shanks and Tiger chatted happily, and they hit it off immediately. One is a person who advocates freedom, and the other is a person who brings freedom to others.

But Shanks and Long didn't say a word, they only had simple eye contact.

We all know that we are not from the same place and have completely different values.

When the banquet was at its most lively, countless sailors stood outside and stared, no one dared to move.

Shanks sat next to Chu Yang, and there was no one around them.

Others were either drunk or dancing like crazy.

Shanks smiled and said, "From the first day you boarded the ship, I felt your hatred for the Celestial Dragons. At that time, I had a premonition that you would reach this point."

"In this battle, if you need me, I will be your companion."

Shanks has a close relationship with the Celestial Dragons.

Im, the king of the Celestial Dragons, has a mysterious bodyguard called the Knights of God.

Members of the Knights of God have a status far above ordinary Celestial Dragons, and even have the power to judge Celestial Dragons.

Because they represent Im.

The Fegaland family in the Knights is the family from which Shanks comes.

The contemporary supreme commander of the Knights of God, named Saint Fegaland Garinger, looked almost exactly like Shanks when he was young.

The relationship between the two is very close.

This also explains why the attitude of the Five Old Stars towards Shanks is obviously different from that of other pirates.

However, Wulaoxing is not simple either.

The five most important departments of the world government are called Gods of War because of their power.

The "Financial God of War" Izanbalon V. Nashoulangsheng is in charge of the financial department. The v and Nas in his name are combined to form Venus, which represents Venus.

Saint Sheffield Ten Peter, the "Agricultural God of War" in charge of the agricultural sector, the ten and Peter in his name together are Jupiter, which is Jupiter.

The "Legal Martial God" Topman Vauchuuli is in charge of the legal department. The Vauchuuli in his name refers to the planet Mercury.

The "Environmental Goddess" in charge of the environmental department is Markus Mars. The name Mars represents Mars.

The "Scientific Defense Martial God" Jegolucia Satan is in charge of the scientific defense department. The "Satan" in his name represents Saturn.

The so-called Five Old Stars refer to the five ancient planets of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth that orbit the sun.

Associating the word Martial God with its functions, we can see Im's idea of ​​"ruling the world with powerful force."

Everyone in the Five Old Stars is a user with the ability of fantasy beast fruits, and they have all reached the level of "awakening".

Among the Five Old Stars, Jaygo Lucia Satansheng, who is in charge of the science department, transforms into a shape similar to a demon with the head of a bull and the body of a body.

Others take different forms.

The transformed form of Markus Mas resembles Marco's Phoenix.

Sheffield Ten Peter's transformed image resembles the incarnation of Big Mom's soul.

Although the specific name of the fruit is not yet known, several people stand together like demons from hell.

Im is also a phantom beast type fruit user, and after his transformation, he looks like a giant salamander.

Considering the super regenerative ability of the salamander itself, perhaps after awakening from this Devil Fruit, the host will be able to gain an almost immortal physique.

In this case, Im can easily achieve eternal life by accepting the "immortality surgery" of the surgical fruit.

Not to mention living for 800 years, there is no pressure to live for 8000 years.

In fact, until now, Chu Yang is still not sure what level the King of the World Im's combat power is!

The original twenty kings, in addition to Queen Lily and Im of Alabasta, there were eighteen more kings.

These eighteen people are not fools. How could they be willing to succumb to others without strong force to intimidate them?

After 800 years, the opponent is just a pig, and it is time for him to become Marshal Tianpeng.

Im's combat power is higher than that of the Four Emperors, that's for sure.

The question is how high is it?

Higher than the two-faced Sunuo with five times the combat power?

Im's combat power is a mystery. There are powerful weapons in Pangu City that are comparable to Pluto, and they can destroy a country in an instant.

After an island is destroyed, the hole left cannot be filled, and the overflowing water can cause sea levels to rise.

If you use this weapon continuously, you can even flood the world!

This is also the reason why Mariejoia was built on the Red Earth Continent.

One day in the future, if the situation gets completely out of control, Im will launch weapons to flood the world and destroy the enemy.

The Knights of God are also a mystery, and may have the combat power of several generals.

There are many uncertain factors...

This is also the reason why Chu Yang insists on finding Hades.

With Pluto, a large part of the pressure can be shared with him.

In the final analysis, there was not enough information. Chu Yang had been busy studying bloodline factors and did not pay attention to these things. If there had been enough information, he would have gone to the Holy Land alone.

As for Shanks' promise, Chu Yang did not respond. If Shanks had a close relationship with the Knights of God, there was no need for him to drag him into the water.

Just like Garp's dilemma in the war at the top, one side is Marine Justice, and the other side is Ace, whom he regards as his own son.

Facing Shanks' sincerity, Chu Yang could only shake his head and refuse, "This is my own business."

Shanks looked at him in astonishment, obviously not expecting Chu Yang to answer him like this.

"What about them?"

Shanks looked at Long and Tiger.

"The original intention of the establishment of the Revolutionary Army was to overthrow the rule of the Tianlong people. I don't need to tell you about the situation of the fish people. Their goals and mine have been consistent from the beginning."

Chu Yang didn't look at Shanks' face, for fear of seeing a disappointed expression on his face.

Every member of the red-haired pirate group is like a family member. They regard each other's affairs as their own business. Chu Yang's attitude will definitely make them disappointed and sad.

As expected, Shanks hesitated to speak, his expression lost. As a captain, when the crew says they don't need your help, you often feel the most complicated.

But as Chu Yang said, this is his business, and Shanks can't make the decision for him.

"It's okay if you want to challenge the Celestial Dragons, but before that, you have to defeat me first."

Shanks said firmly.

The only thing he can do now is to make sure that Chu Yang has the ability to challenge the Knights of God.

Chu Yang showed a relaxed smile and winked at Shanks, "You've been holding back your energy and waiting for now, right?"

"I want to see what level of Haki I am, that I can defeat Kaido."

"But let me tell you first, my victory over Kaido does not rely entirely on dominance. You have to be mentally prepared."

Shanks said confidently: "I know your swordsmanship is very strong, but my swordsmanship is not bad now, so don't be scared!"

Chu Yang stood up, dusted himself off, and walked towards the coast.

Shanks also followed.

Seeing this, the crew members of the red-haired pirate group whispered among themselves.

"What are they doing?"

"I don't know. I just saw them whispering nearby."

"What did you say?"

"You dare to come up and listen? Aren't you afraid that the captain will beat you? Anyway, I don't dare!"

"This posture looks familiar."

"No way...the banquet is not over yet, and they are starting again?"

Tiger suddenly put his face in and asked the others: "What started again?"

A huge fish-man face startled the pirates around him.

Jesus Bu almost thrust the barrel of the gun into his mouth.

Ben Beckman said helplessly: "Just wait and see, you will know soon."

Curious Tiger stared at the backs of Chu Yang and Shanks.

at this time.

The cp0 member responsible for monitoring Wano has begun to doze off.

There was nothing interesting to see with the singing and dancing opposite.

Taking another look, he was almost overwhelmed by jealousy. He had nothing to eat or drink here, but they were still having fun.

Not to mention that he was severely scolded by the Five Old Stars not long ago.

What kind of work are these?

There were no signs of personnel activity in the nearby navy warships. Everyone who should sleep was asleep, and he was the only one left to watch from day to night.

Just as he was about to curse, two terrifying waves of domineering energy suddenly erupted, and large black clouds instantly gathered in the sky, followed by thunderous thunder.
