Under the impact of the chain explosions, the signal tower, bereft of its underground support, finally could not hold out any longer. Like a severed tree, it toppled toward the south and, when it crashed into the ground, it let out a thunderous roar and kicked up a dust cloud that lingered for a long time.
The collapse of the signal tower heralded the official end of the control that the Council of Seven and the aliens standing behind them had over the Sea Capital, an enormous settlement established in the wasteland.
Where something perished, something new would rise.
The signal tower fell, raising dust, but with the downfall of the Council of Seven and Shattered Star, Bai Fu undoubtedly rose to stand tall.
