Chapter 203: Chapter 202 The Most Magnificent Explosion

Chapter 203 -202 The Most Magnificent Explosion

“Why would it even affect diplomacy?” Cui Zhen’en asked, puzzled.

“Probably because an action that involves putting a large amount of firepower into play without any warning is likely to cause panic among neighboring countries,” Xue Quan replied softly, “If it’s arranged as a military exercise, then several departments need to coordinate and issue a notice, which indeed takes quite some time.”

“There’s no need, I’m talking about here, but not now.” Chaoyang said indifferently, “Besides, conventional firepower is unlikely to meet my needs.”

“Not now? What do you mean?”

“It’s simple, the Ouroboros can transfer energy not only from the present but also from the past and the future. I mean, in 1961, on a small island in the northwest, there happened to be the most powerful manmade explosion in human history, and I think that energy would be pretty good.”

Zhang Zhiyuan and Cui Zhen’en couldn’t help but shiver.

Even the usually composed Xue Quan widened his eyes.

They certainly knew which explosion Chaoyang was referring to!

Anyone with a slight understanding of history knows that in the autumn of that year, a hydrogen bomb called Tsar Bomba was dropped from the air, with a yield of an astonishing 50 million tons of TNT, making it the largest yield thermonuclear weapon ever built by humans! Because of its massive size, it could only be dropped from a bomber, reducing its practicality significantly, and in some ways, it was more like a showpiece of technological and military prowess.

“Are you… serious?” Gao Wei couldn’t help but ask.

Chaoyang hadn’t initially thought of this method either. After repeatedly reviewing the memory, he confirmed that the counterattack Ge Wei made was effective, although limited by the constraints of the era, she could only use the secret weapon as a mobile naval gun. Against most enemies, the power of a naval gun was more than sufficient, until a crack appeared in the sky.

Since the goal was to amplify firepower, replicating it from Earth was definitely the most effective. He also considered replicating long-range weapons like far fires, but apart from the issue of the amount of explosive used, whether far fire rockets could explode smoothly within the red light area remained a question—he hadn’t overlooked the detail of ammunition suddenly failing when Zhang Zhiyuan confronted the followers of the Heretical Cult on deck. Although the cause was still unknown, attributing it to the red light effect seemed like a prudent consideration.

Perhaps direct light and heat could avoid this kind of effect.

Then the first choice would naturally be nuclear weapons.

Ask Xue Quan for an unlocked nuclear warhead to replicate? He estimated that even asking Xue Quan’s superiors’ superiors might not be enough.

Moreover, current operational nuclear warheads have already been miniaturized, with individual yields of only thousands to tens of thousands of tons of TNT, convenient for loading onto various missiles, but unsuitable for striking a mine suspended in the air.

However, turning to history for a search, Ivan presented itself as the most conspicuous target.

“Its owner was limited by the era and ultimately did not succeed, but standing from a higher starting point, we have no reason to let the city be destroyed by the Heretical Cult.” Chaoyang said, “Unfortunately, the activation range of the secret weapon is quite limited, Miss Cui Zhen’en must use the Ouroboros at the explosion site to possibly capture the energy of the hydrogen bomb explosion. Moreover, she can’t do it alone, if she is to leave the country, visa issues must be resolved, time is the key to success or failure.”

All the question mark avatars went dark, the decision-makers seemed to be in internal communication, and after a moment, the number one avatar lit up again, “We can’t force Comrade Cui Zhen’en to undertake this mission, so we must ask first—”

“I am willing!” Cui Zhen’en raised her hand without hesitation, “Please let me do it!”

“Are you sure you’re okay with this?” Zhang Zhiyuan whispered.

“I am now the only suitable candidate, leading role treatment! If I don’t do it, they’ll definitely screen on a wide scale for more suitable candidates, wouldn’t I be at a loss?” she hummed, “Besides, I’ve never lost two games in a row when playing games, dying on the ship and again in the mine, I haven’t settled with this Causal Sect yet!”

“Since that’s the case, then we have no problem here either.” Number one said, “The higher-ups have already agreed to cooperate on this matter with Paradise, if Paradise doesn’t mind, let’s now formulate a feasible action plan draft.”

…

An hour had passed since Chaoyang had finished the call. He walked out of the study and into the living room, only to find the dining table astonishingly filled with a spread of piping hot dishes, and the color coordination looked unexpectedly good.

On the other side of the dining table, Luowei Siya and Leisk were sitting obediently, quietly waiting for the meal to begin.

This suddenly made Chaoyang feel somewhat embarrassed.

Without a second thought, he’d pulled these people into a new body, and yet they’d managed to suppress their curiosity and even prepared such a lavish lunch for him. He had to admit, this level of trust was maxed out.

“Sorry for the wait,” he said as he sat down opposite them, “Did Miss Luowei Siya make all this by herself?”

“Not at all, I just helped him chop up some trimmings, Leisk is the main chef,” she said with a laugh, waving her hand, “I didn’t expect him to be so well-versed in cooking. How do you know him?”

“I met him while exterminating a heretical cult. He is an Envoy of the Hidden Mist Sect,” Chaoyang replied casually as he picked up his chopsticks.

The moment the words left his mouth, he realized he had mentioned a key term, but it was too late to take it back.

“The Hidden Mist Sect?” Luowei Siya was shocked, “Isn’t that a heretical cult? Is Leisk a cultist?”

Leisk also showed a surprised expression, “You… still remember me?” 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

“What kind of question is that? You haven’t left my sight, could I possibly forget you in an instant?”

The three of them looked at each other, all falling into an odd silence.

“Umm… Can someone explain please?” Luowei Siya spread her hands.

“It seems Paradise World is indeed extraordinary…” Leisk mused, “The power of the Envoy of Mist has almost ceased to exist here.”

“It’s a long story,” Chaoyang said, taking a piece of stewed meat into his mouth, then briefly recounted the origin story of the Mist God, “Perhaps you will forget after you go back, but here, at least, you can understand and know Leisk’s identity.”

“To think there was such a history…” Luowei Siya was so surprised she couldn’t close her mouth for a while. She had never imagined that a god born from the prayers of thousands would eventually fall to the status of an Evil God.

“Now can you answer me? What exactly is this place, and what has happened to Magnificent Castle?” Leisk changed from his usual demeanor and directly used a respectful tone.

“This could be considered another world, I call it the Birthplace of Paradise,” Chaoyang cleared his throat and slowly replied, “As for Magnificent Castle… it is still in a safe condition.”

“So it is Paradise…” Leisk’s eyes flickered, “Was it the Paradise Master who destroyed the crack in the sky and completely dispersed the red light?”

“No, my master only slowed down time, to give us more time to prepare. We still have to complete this great battle on our own. Bringing you here was for your safety and also because of the contracts you signed.”

Chaoyang highlighted the key points of the situation to the two of them. He did not reveal the true nature of the time lock, nor the essence of Paradise—because not only would they not understand these pieces of information, but they would also add extra burden to their psyche before the great battle.

“There’s only a day and a half left…” After hearing everything, Luowei Siya pondered, “So, what can we do?”

“Eat, sleep, and rest well. Before that moment comes, just keep yourself alive,” Chaoyang said.
