153: It is well-deserved to be the first on land!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Nuclear bombardment, all beings are equal.

Over a hundred nuclear bombs, concentrated in the same area for bombardment, brought astonishing power. Almost before the explosions ceased, the coast and land of Sakura Country began to collapse.

The seawater, pushed outwards by the residual shockwaves of the explosions, frantically poured back onto the land. The waves surged higher and higher, instantly submerging countless people and vast stretches of land.

"Help!"

"Why would they bomb the Tiger God?"

"We're caught in the crossfire too..."

Many citizens of Sakura Country, caught in the surging seawater, either screamed for help, hoping someone would hear them and pull them ashore, or were filled with resentment towards Freedom Country. Ultimately, they were swept away by the waves into the distance, never to be seen again.

Within Sakura Country, the populace, which had already dwindled to less than one-tenth, suffered further casualties.

Looking out, the entire Sakura Country was inundated with massive floods. Some areas with significant elevation differences even formed waterfalls or rapids.

"Oh God, oh heavens, my Bodhisattva..."

At this moment, the Sakura Empress was in tears, so much so that she could no longer cry.

She watched helplessly as this terrifying disaster swept across the entire Sakura Country, yet she could do nothing. Besides feeling utterly distraught, all that remained was a deep sense of powerlessness.

It was then that the Sakura Empress understood that in the face of Great Xia and Freedom Country, her petty schemes were insignificant, and she would inevitably be the one to suffer.

Meanwhile, the world's attention had never been on the fate of Sakura Country's citizens. Instead, it was entirely focused on the epicenter of the nuclear explosion. The live broadcast screen was filled with audience comments.

"Nuclear bombardment, all beings are equal!"

"But it seems the Tiger King might be able to withstand such a terrifying attack?"

"The commotion hasn't stopped yet; neither you nor I know the outcome."

"Why do I really hope the Tiger King can endure it?"

"..."

All sorts of comments spread wildly.

As the smoke and dust at the explosion's center gradually dissipated, in everyone's line of sight, that massive Tiger King still stood there, completely unharmed!

"Damn it!"

Xia Fan, however, was not happy at all; he was even heartbroken.

Although he had escaped unharmed by using the eastern emperor bell to avoid so many nuclear bombs, those two guys, Rodan and King Ghidorah, were completely dead. Even most of their bodies were gone, all turned to dust in the explosion.

Seeing this, Xia Fan indignantly exclaimed, "What a waste! I should have tried to salvage some!"

However, he didn't let go of the remaining limbs. The immense energy contained within them was the source of his strength, so after regaining his senses, he began to devour them in large gulps.

"Evacuate!"

"Order all units to evacuate!"

Although the fleet had retreated somewhat before the nuclear bombs were launched, that was also to avoid the aftermath of the nuclear explosions.

Now seeing the Tiger King unharmed, everyone was stunned. General Cher's face turned pale, and like a madman, he ordered the fleet to evacuate immediately.

He knew that with the Tiger King alive, Freedom Country would face a furious retaliation!

"He's fine after all that?"

Imperial Capital, conference room.

The senior officials of Great Xia, upon hearing the monk's words, all brightened up, but still believed that even with the eastern emperor bell, the Tiger King would be more or less injured.

However, the result shocked them profoundly.

Under such a terrifying attack, the Tiger King was actually completely unharmed!

"Holy moly!"

"Long live the Tiger King!"

"This is truly the King of Fierce Beasts!"

"With such a powerful fierce beast, will we humans still have good days ahead?"

"Perhaps modern thermal weapons can no longer harm the Tiger King..."

People all over the world watching the live broadcast felt their hearts almost stop at this moment, each with different thoughts.

Although some admired the Tiger King's power, feeling that this was how the King of Fierce Beasts should behave, more people felt deep concern.

If even nuclear bombs couldn't defeat the Tiger King, what could humanity use to retaliate if he decided to attack them in the future?

With such a powerful Tiger King, what else in the world could threaten him?

"Long live the Tiger God!"

In the area closest to the nuclear explosion, some surviving citizens of Sakura Country, upon learning that the Tiger King had once again 'saved' Sakura Country, bowed towards the Tiger King's location, their expressions incredibly excited, "Tiger God bless us, Tiger God bless us, our Sakura Country is also a place blessed by a deity!"

"It's time to teach you a lesson!"

At this moment, Xia Fan's eyes revealed killing intent as he stared in the direction of the Freedom Country fleet.

He activated the eastern emperor bell, instantly creating a spatial rift, and then several giant beasts emerged from the rift.

Each of them had an extraordinary demeanor and excited expressions, letting out earth-shattering roars as soon as they appeared.

King Kong, Ta Mu, Yuan Da Li, Nami, Centipede Qian Zu, and many other third-tier fierce beasts, upon receiving Xia Fan's signal, immediately began to chase the Freedom Country fleet.

"Hahaha, finally I can show what I can do!"

King Kong burst into laughter at this moment, then, like a warrior, drew his Kusanagi Sword.

Clang! Clang!

He swung his sword with force, and the incomparably sharp blade, like a hot knife through butter, directly split an aircraft carrier in half. Anyone who came into contact with it was instantly killed!

The other fierce beasts also began to exert their power.

In an instant, various abilities flew through the air. Any ship hit was either directly split in two or exploded with a roar. A dazzling display of fireworks erupted within the Freedom Country fleet.

"You're too slow!"

At this moment, Mermaid Nami once again demonstrated her advantage in water abilities. She slightly raised her hand, and in an instant, a tsunami hundreds of meters high was unleashed.

With just one move, she buried the entire fleet in the sea.

This scene deeply shocked everyone, especially the soldiers on the Freedom fleet. When they saw the unstoppable tsunami descending from the sky, despair almost made them faint.

"My King!"

"My King, the fleet has been completely annihilated!"

Before long, all the fierce beasts returned to Xia Fan's side, awaiting his next command.

Xia Fan was very satisfied with this.

Ta Mu and the other fierce beasts all glanced at the helicopters. Although they were tempted, none of them paid any attention, as there were still live broadcast personnel on board.

"Heh heh, just let all of you watch!"

Xia Fan glanced at the helicopters, a cold sneer in his heart.

He deliberately left this part of the enemy, wanting them to broadcast to the entire world, and at the same time, let everyone understand: after this, who would dare to offend the might of the Eastern Tiger King?

If anyone did, it would be no different from seeking death!
