181: The last remaining copy!

“Mao Xiong…”

“Is Mao Xiong Country planning to use Mount Fuji’s volcanic eruption and crustal shifts to destroy the entire Eastern Island?”

Takakawa was now completely at a loss as to how to face this tragic scene.

Even he, who was somewhat cruel and decisive, felt a twinge of unbearable sadness when he saw the devastated scene on the Sky Curtain.

The so-called Mount Fuji Project was a real plan from Lin Ye’s previous life on Blue Star, devised by Mao Xiong Country.

It was a plan formulated by Mao Xiong at the end of S2 to compel Little Japan to surrender quickly, a plan to annihilate Little Japan.

Mount Fuji is an active volcano, located in the Pacific Ocean volcanic belt, and its crust is actually very unstable.

Mao Xiong’s plan was to detonate high explosives at specific locations on the mountain to trigger Mount Fuji’s volcanic eruption!

This eruption would not be limited to Mount Fuji but could also trigger activity in other surrounding volcanoes!

One action could affect the whole body; the resulting geological effects included crustal shifts, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

If such a chain reaction occurred, it would directly wipe out the entire Little Japan.

And the most brutal part was that the Mount Fuji Project would not only destroy Little Japan’s cities but also Little Japan’s culture!

Mount Fuji is the sacred mountain in Little Japan’s heart; once Mount Fuji is destroyed, it means Little Japan’s spiritual totem is gone, and the root of a nation is severed.

That could truly be considered the downfall of a nation and the extinction of a race.

Mao Xiong Country invested a great deal of manpower and resources into researching this Mount Fuji Project, perfectly simulating the entire explosion process, with flight range and bomb load so precise that the plan could be executed directly.

However, later, Eagle Country was the first to drop two Nuclear Bombs on Little Japan, and Little Japan surrendered directly, so the Mount Fuji Project was naturally terminated.

From this perspective, Little Japan should actually thank Eagle Country.

If Eagle Country hadn’t acted first, the tragic Little Japan would truly have faced national and racial demise, not just the simple bombing of two cities.

Now, focusing on the instance, Lin Ye naturally had to perfectly present the Mount Fuji Project!

He would not let go of any opportunity to educate Little Japan!

In reality, Takakawa was now a lone wolf, and there were many ways to eliminate him, but Mao Xiong Country ultimately still chose to end this battle with the “Mount Fuji Project.”

This was Lin Ye’s setting; in fact, no matter how many forces remained on Eastern Island, the Mount Fuji Project would be triggered.

Watching the apocalyptic scene on the Sky Curtain again and again, Takakawa gradually understood its deeper meaning.

This was deterrence!

It was Lin Ye’s deterrence against him!

It was precisely to make him feel the chasm of strength! And at the same time, to show him the consequences of not surrendering and not yielding.

At the same time, Takakawa suddenly felt a violent tremor in the ground beneath his feet, and chaotic shouts from the street.

He once again ran out of Songzhi Pavilion; by now, Mount Fuji was already shrouded in smoke, a fiery red, looking extremely terrifying from afar.

And the shockwave of the volcanic eruption had already swept through the capital, Edo!

Skyscrapers swayed like building blocks shaken by an invisible giant hand, windows shattered in the tremors, sharp breaking sounds rising and falling.

Roads became pitted and crisscrossed with cracks due to the earthquake. Vehicles were trapped on impassable roads, some even crushed beneath collapsed buildings, becoming part of the ruins.

A vast city, in an instant, was shattered like a toy being played with.

The rising dust obscured the sky, and Edo at this moment was completely a scene of the apocalypse.

It could be foreseen that before long, the entire Eastern Island would completely sink into the sea.

This… is this Mao Xiong’s true strength?

One shell, capable of destroying a country?!

This is probably even more terrifying than a Nuclear Bomb!

Boom!

The power of the shockwave finally reached Edo Imperial Garden.

This place, once glorious and magnificent, now seemed to have suffered the wrath of a god.

On the ground of the Imperial Garden, a massive crack spread out from beneath Takakawa’s feet, like a chasm between heaven and earth, separating reality from an unknown world.

The Songzhi Pavilion behind him was not spared; it shattered into countless fragments under the violent shockwave, like dust scattered among the stars, losing its former glory and splendor.

A long crack directly appeared beneath Takakawa’s feet!

In this violent tremor, he felt his body unable to support itself.

He tried his best to grit his teeth and clench his fists, but the powerful vibration still made him unable to resist.

Finally, Takakawa’s knees buckled, and he knelt on the ground once more.

“I surrender!”

“I… I surrender!”

Many people might think that since death is inevitable anyway, and it’s just an instance, they might as well hold on until the end.

But reality is this ridiculous; although the instance is fictional, the pain it inflicts is no different from reality.

Most Challengers, in the face of true suffering, will ultimately choose to yield!

This is a physiological instinct, which no one can resist.

The so-called Bushido is insignificant before this true physiological instinct.

Ah ah ah ah ah!

He screamed, and then was instantly buried beneath the falling bricks and tile fragments of Songzhi Pavilion.

“Help me!”

“Help me!”

Out of instinct, he still dug at the dirt with his hands, trying to crawl out of the ruins, but ultimately sank deeper and deeper.

The continuously falling bricks and stones directly crushed him into a paste.

…

[Sky Curtain Prompt: You have died in the earthquake. The instance mission is declared over. After deducting points, you will be teleported out of the instance!]

Takakawa’s death represented the complete collapse of Eastern Island’s forces!

In the instance backend, the numbers were glaringly obvious.

…

[Instance Population: 1 / 5,000,000]

[Ma Country: 0 / 500,000 (Annihilated)]

[War Chariot Country: 1 / 2,000,000]

[Eastern Island: 0 / 1,500,000 (Annihilated)]

[Stick Country: 0 / 1,000,000 (Annihilated)]

…

At this moment in the instance, three countries had already been declared destroyed, leaving only Xi’er as the sole survivor.

In Marshal Majiwar’s main camp, Xi’er witnessed all the scenes on Eastern Island.

He witnessed the entire process of the Mount Fuji Project.

He witnessed the great art of one bomb destroying a city.

And as the last survivor in the instance, he was very fortunate to see everything from an overhead perspective, every detail clearly visible.

Mountains and rivers shattered, an apocalyptic scene descended upon the human world.

Volcanic eruptions, raging tsunamis, continuous earthquakes—these natural disasters, like ferocious beasts, mercilessly crushed countless living beings into dust.

Seeing such a cruel scene, most people would feel compassion, but Xi’er, however, laughed wildly and unrestrainedly.

He felt a beautiful figure calling to him.

Making him stare intently at the scene of Eastern Island! Unwilling to miss a single frame.
