Yet again some heavy rephrasing by TCB

My suspicions were confirmed a few days ago when I analyzed the world's current sea levels. This will be hard to accept... but that disaster 800 years ago... was caused by ancient weapons technology, capable of sinking the world.

What Vegapunk says with my attempt to convey the meaning faithfully:

先日の世界規模の海面上昇を感知した時、私は確信した...その〝原因〟と〝実在〟を...

When I felt that global sea rising a few days ago, I was convinced... about its origins and reality...

TCB did some weird rephrasing and for that purpose they literally made Vegapunk say something completely made up. "This will be hard to accept but that disaster" is NOWHERE in the original text.

800年前に世界を海に沈めた「古代兵器」は (今なお現存し)

The "ancient weapons" that sunk the world into the sea 800 years ago (still exist today)

What I added between the parenthesis is in the middle right panel and is the direct continuation of the top left one, so these two parts should be translated as a single sentence, but TCB cut the two parts into different statements which kinda change how it should flow. Also, TCB made Vegapunk's realization to be about what happened 800 years ago when in the original text the realization is still about the event from a few days ago, he simply uses what happened 800 years ago as a comparison.

In other words, Vegapunk isn't suddenly realizing that ancient weapons sunk the world 800 years ago, he realized that the event from a few days ago are related to the ancient weapons, which happened to sunk the world 800 years ago.

I advice to neither take my word or TCB's for granted and wait until the official release before making any kind of conclusion about this sentence. I can't stress this enough but if you care about translation accuracy, official is almost always guaranteed to be better than TCB.
