70: Chapter 70 Assassination Failure, Shield Reflection Explodes, Sending Professional Assassin Away
That massive tungsten alloy rod, weighing tens of tons and descending at dozens of times the speed of sound.
The moment it made contact with that layer of pale gold light screen, time seemed to grind to a halt.
The kinetic energy, originally enough to destroy the world, felt as if it had encountered an insurmountable wall of nothingness at that very moment.
That was the "Energy Absorption and Reverse Compensation" mechanism of the plasma shield.
Lin Xi's little face was flushed red, and she was babbling.
Lin Yun stood at the breach on the top floor of the building, holding his daughter securely in his arms, his gaze cold and stern as he stared directly into the sky.
All the citizens in the city had despairingly closed their eyes.
But a second later, the anticipated massive explosion did not occur.
Instead, that massive black tungsten rod, under the pressure of the light screen, actually began to... rebound outward, inch by inch!
That's right, a rebound!
It was just like an iron ball thrown onto a super trampoline.
The terrifying energy it had accumulated, equal to half the Earth's gravitational acceleration, was instantly reflected back by the plasma shield exactly as it was.
"Shooβ!"
A shrill streak of fire, moving even faster than when it arrived, instantly pierced through the atmosphere and shot out towards a certain direction in the Pacific Ocean.
That was the end of the reflected trajectory, and also the coordinates of the submarine that launched it!
Ten seconds later, deep in the distant Pacific Ocean.
A massive splash of water lifted a destructive fireball; that secret nuclear submarine, symbolizing the final military might of the US, along with all the sins aboard it, completely vanished into the vast ocean.
"Report... the Rod of God... has been rebounded."
In the basement of The White House, the technician's voice was trembling like a sieve.
That president slumped in his chair, the coffee cup in his hand sliding silently away and spilling stains all over the floor.
He knew that from this moment on, all the physical attack methods the US was so proud of had become nothing more than comical catapults in front of Lin Yun.
Inside the special care ward where Lin Yun was.
The originally dilapidated walls, under the baptism of the golden light, actually began to repair themselves as if they were alive.
The damaged equipment lit up again.
Nightingale led the people from the Dragon Group up the stairs, staring blankly at Lin Yun.
"Brother Lin... was that... something you did?"
Lin Yun gently rocked Lin Xi, who had already started to yawn in his arms, his tone terrifyingly calm.
"It wasn't me; it was a 'welcome gift' from my daughter to those rats."
He turned his head and looked at Nightingale.
"Since the US has decided to use strategic-level weapons, there is no need for us to talk about any 'international conventions' anymore."
"Pass on my order: starting immediately, initiate the 'Pangu Shield' global coverage plan."
"I want to hold up an umbrella over the heads of all mankind."
"By the way, root out all the remaining Western faction forces on the list."
Nightingale straightened her back and gave a standard military salute.
"Yes! I guarantee the mission will be completed!"
In the next twenty-four hours, the whole world fell into the thrill of a 'great purge.'
Every national leader who had previously jumped out to publicly smear the Dragon Nation's energy plan.
On this day, a massive 'plasma base station' manufactured by the Dragon Nation appeared in front of their official residences.
This machine did not kill anyone; it simply cut off all external signals for these countries and took over their power grids.
In other words, with this move, Lin Yun directly 'grounded' those clamoring nations.
No electricity, no internet, no water.
Only after they agreed to sign the 'Human Civilization Community Mutual Assistance Treaty' would these base stations be withdrawn.
This was naked tyranny, but it was for the progress of all mankind.
Because there were no more energy wars or conflicts of interest, the whole world began to spontaneously enter an unprecedented period of peace.
Lin Yun became the only true god of this era.
Three days later, Lin Yun sat by the crib, watching the sleeping Lin Xi.
On her forehead, that small lightning symbol flickered, clearly indicating that this child's potential had not yet been fully tapped.
"System, what is the next technology tree reward?"
Lin Yun asked softly in his heart.
Although he was now invincible on Earth, the previous assassination attempt made him realize that there might be deeper threats in the universe.
[Ding! The host's current prestige value has reached its peak. We are now opening the 'Level 2 Civilization Evolution Tree' for you!]
[Due to the sixth child having extremely high energy interaction talent, the next gestation reward is locked to: Interstellar Warp Engine Technology!]
[And a new S-rank mother potential candidate has been detected... Target coordinates: The far side of the moon.]
Lin Yun stood up abruptly, a flash of unprecedented fanaticism in his eyes.
Warp engine?
This meant he could finally lead his team out of this small cradle.
And who was that S-rank potential candidate on the far side of the moon?
Could it be that in that darkness, which can never be seen, there really is what Lin Yun has been searching for...
Just as Lin Yun was pondering, Xiao Zhang knocked on the door with a panicked expression.
"Brother Lin, it's bad! Our lunar probe just captured a strange photo."
"In the center of that so-called 'crater' on the far side of the moon, it seems... a door has opened."
Lin Yun took the tablet.
In the photo, inside an originally dull volcanic crater, a soft and eerie purple light was emanating.
A figure wearing close-fitting silver battle armor was standing quietly in front of that door, looking through the lens as if making eye contact with Lin Yun.
The figure's appearance was exactly the same as the 'Mother of the Seventh Child' simulated by the system...
