As time passed, the closer it came to world fusion, the darker the sky grew.
It was a darkness different from that of an overcast day, as if the entire dome of the sky had lowered.
By the time of the fusion, the whole globe was plunged into complete blackness, the kind of darkness that not even lights could illuminate.
Compared to the meteor shower that marked the arrival of the Doomsday Game last year, it now more closely resembled the apocalypse.
[World fusion in progress...]
Accompanied by an electronic voice, everyone felt a slight tremor in the land.
The vibrations were not strong; they caused no damage to any surface structures, and there were no mountain collapses; all players waited silently in the dark for dawn to come.
After an indefinable amount of time had passed, they finally heard that familiar electronic voice again.
[Fusion complete.]
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
