NOVPUBChapter 697 -579: 700 Hydrogen Explosions Sweep the Ground, The Interstellar Fleet Strikes!
This irritable, foolish dragon, Karent naturally recognized, and even had a considerable amount of conflict with it on normal days, and was even more aware that Walok was one of the legendary undead who followed the [Great Necromancer] Cecil into that large plane.
Now it seemed that the other party, like himself, had been captured and, as cannon fodder, had been sent to this world.
Even though Karent usually didn’t get along well with the [Dragon of Cold Winter], he couldn’t help but feel a sense of sadness and anger.
However, at this moment, Karent had no intention of pulling any punches, for after all, one’s own life was always a bit more important than others’.
But Karent quickly realized that something seemed off, Walok’s expression was one of extreme horror, yet not directed at them, his dragon wings, reduced to mere skin, were beating out afterimages, as if something immensely terrifying were chasing him from behind.
As for what it was? Karent soon saw it for himself— a dozen crimson streaks, carrying a whiff of annihilation, plummeted from the sky like meteors!
Aila also saw those shooting stars flying out from the spatial rift and immediately recognized them as alchemical instruments used to conduct [Sky Vaulting].
She had suffered greatly from this spell in the past, but now she was utterly fearless.
For a god, attacks of such a degree meant nothing.
With a raise of her hand, the entire airspace was completely sealed; the electromagnetic cannons racing at ninety times the speed of sound might as well have been plunging into a quagmire, their velocity visibly diminishing before her eyes.
Everything in this divine domain was under her control, and stepping into it was like entering into her own body!
Right after, the elements in the void began to tremble, and immense Divine Power instantly enveloped all fifteen electromagnetic cannons!
This was indeed [Material Analysis]!
With the authority of a deity, Aila could, in a moment, analyze the principles of this spell and take control of it. Nonetheless, Lynn clearly did not leave such an obvious flaw unguarded!
The moment Aila used [Material Analysis], the hydrogen bombs loaded inside the electromagnetic cannons were immediately detonated!
Fifteen ‘suns’ erupted across the firmament, the tens of thousands of Screaming Demons and magi-beasts turned undead in the sky were instantly dissolved into nothing by the hundred-million-degree heat!
Even the sealed airspace vibrated continuously under the impact of this immensely powerful energy. Aila snorted coldly and clenched her outstretched palm; a vast elemental hand covering the entire airspace materialized in the sky, its fingers closing together, forcibly restraining the energy released by the fifteen hydrogen bomb explosions within an area of about a kilometer!
The intense heat and terrifying energy impact almost solidified just a hundred meters away, and Karent, who was close to the brink of death, was beyond relieved that he hadn’t charged too far forward; such high-density, high-intensity energy impacts were simply impervious with his own strength alone…
But the next moment, just as Karent had put his mind at ease, his heart was lifted again, for before he could even catch his breath, he saw what must have been hundreds of streaks of light speeding out from the ever-expanding spatial rift in the firmament!
Karent was petrified, and without a moment’s hesitation, he disregarded Aila’s command and turned tail to run.
All high-level undead who still retained some sense of reason similarly fled frantically in the opposite direction; after all, being erased along with one’s soul or annihilated in an energy blast was an absolute death!
“This number…” Staring at the 135 electromagnetic hydrogen bombs flying at ninety times the speed of sound, Aila’s complexion became extremely grave.
She had to intercept all of them in the sky!
Thinking this, Aila increased her blockade of the airspace, with Moon Divine Power coating the invisible space threads, and the elements swirling in the void turned into sparks, ready to detonate the hydrogen bombs in advance!
However, Aila soon witnessed what was known as the nuclear propulsion method!
The over one hundred electromagnetic railguns were not all triggered at the same time but staggered in time, flying into this world from different angles.
With their extremely high velocity, coupled with the layer of extraterrestrial material wrapped around the outside of the hydrogen bombs, they could traverse a significant distance within the high-temperature zone of the hydrogen explosions before detonating again…
The fierce explosions progressed like a tsunami, each one more violent than the last!
The Divine Power that sealed the entire airspace was swiftly rent asunder, and the elemental hand blew apart!
The legion of undead who hadn’t managed to escape the range of the explosion were promptly submerged in the tidal waves of advancing blasts.
Karent managed to escape the blast range, but unluckily, he was pierced by an electromagnetic railgun that had just passed through the nuclear blast area, and his huge body crashed to the ground…
Fortunately, the first wave of nuclear strikes finally ended, and although with some difficulty, Aila succeeded in intercepting all the hydrogen explosions.
In the Shattered City, the High Priests who had once been filled with confidence were now terror-stricken, their spirits shattered. This kind of battle was simply not one they could partake in; they were not even worth being cannon fodder.
Is this what divine battle looks like?
To launch such a powerful attack in one go, even a god would surely need to rest for a while, right?
But then, the second, third, and even the fourth waves of Hydrogen Explosions plunged all the High Priests into despair!
In order to fare well in this first cross-dimensional war, the council had pulled out half of their nuclear arsenal in one breath—seven hundred hydrogen bombs for an extensive cleansing!
After all, for a council about to utilize antimatter energy, these nuclear reserves were no longer as critical as before, which allowed them to throw them around lavishly!
This time, even Era couldn’t block all the Hydrogen Explosions and could only grit her teeth, directing all her power to protect the Shattered City—Akana!
The hydrogen bombs, falling like meteors, quickly showcased their terrifying might. Accompanied by bursts of intense, eardrum-shattering roars, massive mushroom clouds rose slowly above the foreign lands.
The wild energy waves raged ceaselessly outside the protective barrier, with blinding light filling the entire field of vision. The priests of the Moko people felt as if their ears were being deafened and their eyes blinded by the intense light. Since this world’s creation, there likely had never been a moment brighter than now!
“Doomsday… this is doomsday!” one of the hysterical believers screamed.
“Doomsday has come!” “This world is going to be destroyed!” “God, please dispel this catastrophe!”
Panic spread like a plague. Even the most devout believers lost all courage and will under the relentless Hydrogen Explosions, only capable of kneeling on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
Era’s face turned extremely ugly. The energy assaults of these Hydrogen Explosions might not harm her, but they could cause devastating damage to the city and the believers inside the Shattered City…
What troubled her even more was the fact that such powerful Divine Arts were once almost suicidal tactics for those Wizards, used with extreme caution. Now, they had become conventional weapons for area strikes!
The bombardment of nuclear explosions continued for over two hours before finally subsiding. Even though Era had repeatedly reduced the protective range, the city was inevitably affected by the onslaught of more than seven hundred hydrogen bombs.
The walls previously repaired with Divine Power collapsed once again, and even the streets, houses, trees, and towering statues of gods in the city were all destroyed by the super-earthquake caused by the aftermath of the Hydrogen Explosions…
The outside of the city was even more tragic, everything within sight turned to scorched earth. Hills were flattened, rivers evaporated, forests incinerated, and the once vast army of the dead that stretched for tens of kilometers had now vanished without a trace, dissolved in the horrific high temperatures.
Neither the weakest skeletal warriors nor the most powerful legendary undead stood any chance under the bombardment of seven hundred hydrogen bombs!
The only survivor was the Dragon of Cold Winter, Walok, who had not stopped ascending into the skies the moment it flew out of the space-time vortex. According to the Wizards, only by reaching an altitude of twenty thousand meters could it evade the most intense wave of the attack!
Even so, with Walok’s speed, it nearly got torn apart by the shockwave of the nuclear explosion, surviving only because of a Divine Arts protection Lynn had cast on it.
Another function of this Divine Arts was to share perceptions, for in a certain sense, Walok was the eyes Lynn had sent over!
But its luck apparently ended there. Era, having lost face in front of her believers, unleashed her boundless rage. The elements in the void rioted, and before Walok even had the chance to let out a cry for help, a gigantic elemental hand hundreds of meters long crushed its body to bits!
The massive skeletal dragon was thus turned into a pile of bone dust, and the Soul Fire burning within its eyes flickered out…
After dealing with the Wizard’s spy, Era turned her attention back to the space-time rift, which had gradually expanded to a massive five kilometers in diameter.
Since the opponent’s tricks had been exhausted, it was time for the divine battle!
Era could sense her own divine realm being invaded, but emerging from the Space-Time Gate were not the Moon God she had anticipated, but three gigantic discs that blotted out the sky.
What were these? New alchemical creations by the Wizards, or a mobile city?
Era didn’t know and wasn’t intimidated by the immense size of these things. On the contrary, she sensed a familiar power—Moon Divine Power!
“Let Diana come out!” Era, hanging high above the Sky Vaulting, looked at the three alchemical creations larger than herself by tens of millions of times and said with a cold sneer. “Or is she too cowardly to step foot in this world she once ruled?”
Her cold voice echoed across the foreign sky, but it went unanswered.
As no sight of the Moon God appeared, Era grew somewhat more confident—it meant that the opponent had likely not restored her full power, or else she would have already come out to fight for control of the divine realm!
