71: Long core sunset circle!
“Is this truly a weapon that could exist in the human world?!”
The distant sky seemed to gain a red sun! A sun that was continuously expanding, illuminating the entire world in an boundless blood-red!!!
The explosive airwave, the high temperature capable of vaporizing a person, and that blood-red world… everything was a sight the Emperor had never witnessed in his entire life.
Before that airwave, anything would instantly be vaporized into ash.
This was not a weapon at all, but an act of God! It was the cruelest judgment from the heavens!
It was a divine punishment descending from the sky! It was the final judgment for Great Harmony Island!
He glanced at Ito Hidekazu beside him, who was now curled up on the ground, clutching his head and repeatedly shouting for help, trembling like a frightened wild dog.
“No!”
“I cannot be defeated by Lin Ye! The only one who can defeat me is myself!”
Looking at the airwave that had spread from the center of Edo and was almost upon him, the Emperor only wanted to end his life with a samurai sword.
But at this moment, he couldn’t do any of that…
In the face of intense fear, the weak are fundamentally unable to escape their survival instinct; they will uncontrollably bow under pressure to beg for a last glimmer of hope, even if they know hope is slim.
In the face of this overwhelming terror, the Emperor had even forgotten that this was within the Dungeon; all he could do was surrender.
Stumbling, he knelt in the center of the courtyard, tears uncontrollably streaming from his eyes due to his screams of terror.
“Ah! Help! Don’t kill me!”
“Amaterasu Omikami, save me!”
No one had ever imagined that such a tearful cry would one day come from the Emperor’s mouth, from the mouth of an arrogant, top-tier expert!
However, the atomic bomb’s explosion would not pause for a moment due to anyone’s prayers… Under the dazzling white light, his eyes were already burned blind, and his vision was utterly black.
The next second, he felt an unbearable high temperature sweep over his body, instantly drying out every nerve.
That was a pain he had never experienced in his life.
It was like fire pouring into his spine, his entire soul being ripped out, then mercilessly burned and shattered.
The saying, ‘Rather die standing than surrender kneeling,’ was ultimately just empty boasting.
In the face of absolute power, one not only kneels but also dies!
“Ahhhhhh!”
Accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream, the Emperor heard the Sky Curtain’s final prompt, which, at this moment, was like a beacon, announcing the end of suffering.
[Sky Curtain Prompt: You were killed by Eagle Sauce’s atomic bomb. Given that all Challengers are dead, this Dungeon mission is declared a failure!]
With the deaths of the Emperor and Ito Hidekazu, the Dungeon’s live broadcast perspective also shifted from first-person to a third-person, overhead view.
Through this overhead view, the atomic bomb explosion could be seen more clearly.
The shockwave continued to spread outwards. At the center of that destructive force, a massive fireball suddenly rose from the ground, its brilliance instantly illuminating the entire sky.
Then it rapidly expanded, forming a giant mushroom cloud in the sky!
The mushroom cloud, formed by the fusion of flames and dense smoke, continuously rolled and expanded as it ascended. Its base was a scorching orange-red, while its top gradually turned grayish-white.
Wherever the airwave passed, all living things perished. In just a few seconds, Edo City vanished in the rolling inferno.
Once prosperous streets, towering buildings, and cozy homes were instantly razed to the ground.
All the civilians in the city also turned to ash along with the city.
Just like the end of days…
It gave a sense of doomsday deja vu, like a long river meeting the setting sun.
All living beings at this moment ultimately met the same end: death without burial, perishing in the flames.
Such a brutal and magnificent scene could instantly make one’s heart tremble with fear.
Witnessing this scene firsthand, all observers were terrified, some even trembling uncontrollably through the screen.
Azure Star’s technological level was still at Blue Star S1. Showing them an atomic bomb detonation at this time was completely rubbing their understanding into the ground.
The Dungeon live broadcast immediately went blank!
After a long time, someone finally sent a bullet comment:
[This… is this the ultimate weapon in the Dungeon?! Did everyone see that? Just one bomb caused such immense destructive power?!]
[It’s too terrifying… and too cruel! Just watching it, I can feel my legs shaking uncontrollably!]
[The pain from this explosion must be worse than death, right?…]
[The only one who can defeat Lin Ye is probably himself! The supersonic missile just now was already incredible, but now that this atomic bomb has fallen, I think it’s something beyond this world’s comprehension!]
[If that’s the case, then I don’t think this Raging Sea and Surging Waves Dungeon can ever be conquered by Challengers. Unless a Challenger possesses a weapon of the same caliber.]
[Oh my god, at this moment, I truly feel a little sorry for these Great Harmony people…]
-------------------------------------
Great Xia Settlement’s Dungeon Research Center Report Hall.
At this moment, it was also silent.
Everyone, whether seasoned researchers, industry magnates, or top Designers, had unconsciously stood up, mouths agape, staring at the large screen.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment; everyone was controlled by an invisible force like marionettes.
Beyond comprehension! It was completely beyond comprehension!
Even though the hall was filled with researchers and magnates, all of them were so shocked that their brains had almost stopped functioning, each one as bewildered as a child!
The image of the atomic bomb explosion was still too advanced for them.
Thus, the auditorium remained silent for a full five minutes.
Then, people gradually began to speak.
“The Dungeon… the Dungeon… is over.”
“We should be happy for Lin Ye… Why is everyone so quiet?”
In fact, it wasn’t that everyone didn’t want to celebrate for Lin Ye, but rather that the shock in their hearts far outweighed the joy at this moment.
Because they had never seen a Dungeon weapon that could be so powerful.
One bomb destroying a city?!
This was a miracle that no one in any Settlement on Azure Star could comprehend!
It should be known that besides Raging Sea and Surging Waves, this Infernal Grade super-large Dungeon, ninety percent of the remaining Dungeons on Azure Star might not even have a map as large as Edo City.
Lin Ye could instantly level a city with one bomb.
This meant that as long as he was willing to bring this weapon into other Dungeons, it would be an instant kill in almost any Dungeon!
At this moment, Zhao Jianyu could be said to be on pins and needles, her entire body even trembling with excitement.
Even though she wasn’t in the Dungeon, even though she was on the same side as Lin Ye, she still felt a deep fear.
Breathing heavily, she looked at her teacher, Ding Chang.
“Teacher… Lin Ye’s technology, do you understand it?”
Ding Chang also shook his head, somewhat dazed, seemingly not having recovered from the emotions of moments ago.
“Teacher, with this technology, I think Lin Ye might have a chance to top the Sky Curtain Hero Ranking and become the number one person in this Dungeon world!”
Ding Chang still didn’t answer. Instead, Deng Xian, the dean of the Second Energy Research Institute next to him, suddenly stood up, looking extremely agitated.
“This is nuclear energy, the result of nuclear fission!”
“The Sky Curtain also said just now that it would launch a nuclear strike on Great Harmony Island in the end!”
“Oh my god! This is nuclear energy! So nuclear energy can really become a weapon!”
The entire hall was drawn in by Deng Xian’s exclamation, and people successively got up from their seats and walked towards Deng Xian.
Among the older generation of Dungeon Designers in Great Xia Settlement, Deng Xian was the one who had the deepest research into energy substances.
Everyone felt that perhaps they could get some information about the ultimate weapon of Raging Sea and Surging Waves from his mouth.
