Chapter 431 A blink of an eye in the long river of time
The close-range nuclear explosion plowed the polluted land from the map like an eraser. The devastated scene was enough to make those who heard it sad and those who saw it cry.
At the moment of explosion, a strong and bright flash appeared in the air first, and then a fireball that was growing and glowing continuously formed. The terrifying shock wave reflected back to the fireball through the ground and deformed the fireball, forming a "bubble" shape with a round top and flat bottom. It was this shock wave falling from the sky, smashing all buildings on the ground like an iron hammer, and the first thing to be hit was the "Happy Town" directly below.
At that moment, the building ruins and the rubble on the building. The light radiation that arrived instantly ignited the town, and cooked the land like a microwave oven.
The remaining deep divers in the town have no resistance in the face of shock waves and high temperatures. The story of the polluted town hiding the smoke in the fog is buried in history.
The light radiation and shock waves then spread to the ocean surface, and the sea water boiled violently. Countless deformed cartilage fish, coelenterology, crustaceans, and more undescribable evil creatures rolled to the surface. The sea was filled with a rotting stench like a huge corpse, mixed with poisonous mist and drifted away.
The subsequent shock wave collapsed the foundation of the land. The shock wave propagating from the soil and rock medium exerted compression and pushing forces around it, producing unimaginable acceleration, and triggering a strong geological movement.
The reefs on the seabed were shattered one after another, and the earthquake waves penetrated the cracks that led to the "deep sea catastrophe" and destroyed the nameless ancient cities rising in the sea. The buildings soaked under the abyss of nowhere, sank into the bottom of the water again.
But this time, the land on the island also showed obvious landslides. The cliffs on Mount Mades collapsed and the earth collapsed, forming a mountain geological disaster like the sky and the earth cracked. Half of the mountain collapsed into the deep sea cracks, completely suppressing the demon abyss.
Finally, the dust columns and smoke rising from the ground formed a tall mushroom cloud, which penetrated the end of the sky and formed a giant that I could not see no matter how hard I could see.
The Night Demon, who is transformed into the "Thousand Faces God", is hiding in the sky, swaying the giant wings that are enough to cover the sun and the moon, trying to fly high into the dark and light-free universe, and get cover in the dark space of the stars.
But the mushroom cloud is like a violent giant beast. Although it rises at a slow speed, the strong light and high-energy radiation emitted by it instantly tore up Ye Demon's body.
The body made of dark matter was ignited by strong light and instantly collapsed into wisps of gray mist. The three-petal eyes burning with hellfire were unable to see the scenery of the universe until the last moment.
The turmoil caused by the explosion lasted for nearly half an hour before the aftermath gradually faded away, leaving only a small town razed to the ground and a bare ridge where trees evaporated into black carbon-like powder.
The light that reached the sky of the King of Light Church in the town slowly dimmed as time passed. As the last ray of glow disappeared, the church building barely maintained in the nuclear explosion collapsed with the last pillar, and the town finally turned into a dusty ground.
Even with Mr. Rhode's protection, the scene in front of me was still becoming more and more blurred, and I lost consciousness in the increasingly dizzy feeling. Under the influence of radiation, the colorful phosphorescence in the skin became clearer and clearer, and even formed complex patterns wrapped around the body, spreading on the surface of the body like vines.
But as the phosphorescence increased, Mr. Rhode's physical condition became weaker and weaker, as if the wildly growing lines were swallowing his life. At the last moment when his vision disappeared, I passed Mr. Rhode's shaking body, and seemed to see an existence emitting white light. He was stretching out his hands to hold his body, leaning his head gently on his shoulder...

"Marcus! Wake up!"
I woke up in dizziness and found myself in a white space again. I opened my eyes and saw Dad Hook's unpleasant old face again.
"I... why am I back?" I adapted to the feeling of weightlessness without physical body, and intermittent memories slowly emerged.
Dad Hook showed a rare look of concern this time and said, "You died of radiation this time. Rhodes in that world helped you block the light radiation, but the neutron flow still destroyed your body."
Speaking of this, Old Yorkson also added, "I have to say that you can survive for half an hour when you encounter a nuclear explosion at a close distance. This kind of life is no less than cockroaches. I really don't know what kind of system you are..."
I ignored his gossip and thought to myself that I had succeeded? Is this the plan that Old Yorkson mentioned?
Such a tragic ending is an ending that I can't imagine.
The "King of Light" of the nuclear radiation king seemed to have shown a miracle. He used a nuclear explosion to drive out the light-afraid night demon incarnation, destroyed the "Deep Sea Catastrophe" rift, and saved the world from the ten dead and lifelessness.
But is it all worth it...
"By the way, where is Old Yorkson?" I asked suddenly.
Hearing this question, Dad Hook replied unhappily as if he had eaten a fly: "After he returned from his original dream, his spirit body was almost broken. Fortunately, the external god did not deliberately target him, so he could only leave his life. This old bastard should not die if he sleeps for a month."
"Marcus, cheer up." Dad Hook seemed to see through my thoughts and said in a deep voice: "This result is already a huge victory for humans. Whether it is the 'final disaster' or the 'deep sea catastrophe', even in the eyes of the 'thousand-faced God' who is keen to manipulate humans, humans are just gray on a glass bead in the endless universe."
"Sometimes, some accidental actions of human beings will attract the attention of these beings, but whether it is good intentions or malice, it is a blink of an eye in the long river from the creation of the universe to the end of the silence. As long as the connection between these beings can be cut off, it is a complete victory."
"This is also something that a few of us old men have realized in protecting the ore town. The tragic sacrifice that you think is just a trivial sacrifice in this bet."
I said, "Old man, you underestimate me too much. The world is destroyed, humans turn into orange juice, transforming the earth into spacecraft and escaping. Seeing a nuclear explosion is not a big deal. I just thought of the Ore Town, and I don't know if there will be such a threat there..."
Dad Hook nodded slightly: "I am worthy of being the one who inherited my ranch! Don't worry, I will study the way I go back next, and I will definitely find hope to return to the ore town!"
I rolled my eyes in my heart, just don't cheat me like Old Yorkson. If it weren't for Mr. Rhode who had been lost to another world, I would probably have died in another world this time.
