424: Chapter 424 The Crisis of the World

Chen Yi was suddenly shocked!

Nuclear bombs?

Indiscriminate launch?

Global scale?

This madman!

He instinctively wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.

The Demon Dragon Man laughed loudly: "Let me see, what will you do next? Are you going to save those... ants?"

His tone was full of mockery.

A cold light flashed in Chen Yi's eyes.

He did not hesitate, gripping the Seven-Colored Flame Sword with both hands, his full power erupting at this moment!

The blade of the Seven-Colored Flame Sword erupted with unprecedented light!

The seven colors of flames fused together, transforming into a pure white-gold flame.

"Slash—"

Chen Yi swung his sword, unleashing his strongest strike to date!

The white-gold sword light tore through space, instantly striking the Demon Dragon Man!

This time, the Demon Dragon Man did not dodge, nor could he.

He was split in two by the sword light, sliced right down the middle!

Moreover, white-gold flames burned at the wound, preventing his recovery!

The Demon Dragon Man raised his head to look at Chen Yi, his dark golden vertical pupils filled with mockery.

He let out a cold, mocking laugh: "Chen Yi... let me see, what will you do next? Hahahaha—"

Amidst the laughter, his body began to dissipate, turning into black smoke and vanishing into the air.

Only one sentence remained, echoing in the ruins.

"Save the world? Or save humanity? You... choose one!"

The black smoke of the Demon Dragon Man slowly drifted in the ruins, and that cold laughter seemed to still echo in the air.

But at this moment, no one cared about his disappearance; everyone's attention was drawn to Lilian's words.

Global missile crisis!

Indiscriminate launch!

"You... what did you say?"

Hua Liuli was the first to react, walking quickly to Lilian and demanding, "Global nuclear missiles? Indiscriminate launch? How is this possible?"

Lilian's face was deathly pale, and she said with a trembling voice, "I saw it... I saw many visions!"

"Military bases, missile silos, and strategic command centers of various countries... the high-level officials in those places have all been controlled! They are inputting launch codes!"

"Chen Yi! There is not much time left! At most, there are ten minutes before the first batch of missiles launches! If all missiles launch at the same time... at least half of the world's cities will be destroyed!"

These words were like a bucket of ice water, sobering everyone up.

"Are you kidding me!"

"If the missiles from various countries attack indiscriminately, the world will definitely fall into chaos! Our plan, which we have carefully prepared for hundreds of years, will be completely disrupted!"

"Weapons like nuclear bombs have a destructive power equivalent to a full-strength strike from a Tenth Rank spirit beast! Although they are not a top-tier threat to us, they are absolutely devastating for ordinary people!"

"Moreover, the large-scale energy shockwave will inevitably cause the spiritual energy in the air to become chaotic!"

Hua Liuli's face became extremely ugly, "This will affect the stability inside all secret realms and could even cause some small secret realms to collapse directly!"

As the array eye of the Space-Time Rift, her sensitivity to the flow of spiritual energy in the world far exceeded that of ordinary people.

If a large-scale missile attack breaks out globally, the chaos in spiritual energy will directly affect the stability of the Space-Time Rift and could even backlash onto her.

But just then, a discordant voice rang out.

"Hmph, if hundreds of missiles go down and wipe out humanity, that would naturally be the best result!"

The speaker was a high-level member of the Purification Faction.

She stood behind Emilia, with a cold expression on her face.

In her view, ordinary people were the cancer of the world, and if they could use this opportunity to wipe them out, it would be a godsend.

Other members of the Purification Faction also nodded, clearly agreeing with this view.

But Emilia's reaction was unexpected by everyone.

"Shut up!"

The high-level member was stunned: "Lady Emilia, you..."

"I said, shut up!"

Emilia slowly stood up, "Save people! Solve the global missile problem first!"

The members of the Purification Faction were completely bewildered.

Lady Emilia... actually intends to save people first?

How is this possible?

Hasn't she always advocated for eliminating humans and purifying the world?

But looking at Emilia's resolute expression, the words of opposition that were about to be spoken were swallowed back.

They dared not disobey Emilia's orders.

Hua Liuli also spoke, her voice resolute: "Everyone, listen up! Act immediately, and ensure the nuclear missiles are stopped! At all costs!"

Just kidding, the philosophy of the Coexistence Faction is the coexistence of humans and beasts!

If humans were extinct, there would be no conversion between spirit beasts and beasts; it is absolutely not allowed!

---

Deep in the western desert of Eagle Country.

Above the surface, there were only a few inconspicuous gray buildings.

But one hundred meters underground, one of the country's most lethal weapons was hidden—the A17 strategic nuclear missile silo.

At this moment, the alloy corridor leading to the central control room was stained red with blood.

Bodies lay scattered across the cold floor; there were guards in military uniforms, technicians in lab coats...

At the end of the corridor, the heavy explosion-proof door had been forcibly broken open, with traces of high-temperature melting still remaining on the edges.

Inside the control room, Canaan stood in front of the main console.

This president of the Eagle Country Beast Tamer Association, head of the enhancement drug research society, and founder of the Fila conglomerate looked like a completely different person at this moment.

His originally handsome face was covered with black vein-like patterns, and his eyes had turned pitch black.

There were no whites of the eyes, only abyss-like darkness.

He wore a custom dark gray suit, with the cuffs of his white shirt rolled up to his elbows, revealing arms that were also covered in black patterns.

His movements were calm and unhurried; his slender fingers tapped rapidly on the console, inputting strings of complex commands.

Behind him stood six women.

Those were his Contracted Spirit Beasts, all of whom had once been beautiful existences: there was a blonde, blue-eyed fairy, a fire demon with long fiery red hair, a snow spirit with long icy blue hair, and a succubus with dark purple skin...

But now, their state was the same as Canaan's.

Their eyes were filled with pure darkness, their skin covered in black patterns, and they radiated an unsettling, evil aura!

There were still a few surviving technicians in the control room.

They huddled in the corner, trembling, watching this terrifying scene before them.

"Lord Canaan... why..."

An Eighth Rank guard captain struggled to crawl up from the pool of blood, "You... you are the hero of Eagle Country... why do such a thing..."

Canaan did not even turn around.

He just raised his left hand and waved it gently.

The next second, the fire demon spirit beast behind him moved.

A stream of dark red flame spewed from her mouth.

"Arghhh—"

The guard captain let out a shrill scream, his body carbonizing rapidly in the flames.

A few seconds later, only a pile of ashes remained.
