The atomic bomb "Shorties" prepares to drop
The Great Xia Settlement.
Inside the report hall of the Instance Research Center.
Exclamations of surprise echoed through the hall, and some researchers even jumped up from their seats in shock.
"This is outrageous! In less than a minute, all twenty Military Bases were gone."
"Lin Ye's High Supersonic Missile is too powerful! It wiped out all the Military Bases on the Eastern Ocean Islands in an instant!"
"My God, is this what real Modern Warfare is like? They crushed the Eastern Ocean Islands without firing a single shot."
"Lin Ye's missile technology is unparalleled in any Instance on Azure Star."
At this moment, it wasn't just these young researchers who were marveling; even all the old professors, Commanders, and prominent figures in the Great Xia Settlement were filled with shock!
If Lin Ye's previous demonstrations of the Keyhole Satellite technology and Nuclear-Powered Carrier Fleet only made them feel that Lin Ye had ample military technology reserves, then the current Supersonic Missile completely astonished these professionals.
Because this kind of simple and brutal weapon doesn't require any in-depth understanding, you can tell how overpowered it is at a glance.
Satellites can be dodged, aircraft carriers can evade battle, but these Supersonic Missiles leave no room for escape!
Sitting next to Ding Chang, Li Yunlong let out a long sigh, then laughed loudly:
"Awesome! As expected of the Great Xia people, you are truly awesome!"
"Lao Ding, you've been keeping an eye on this Lin Ye for a while now... Why didn't you tell everyone about such an amazing guy sooner?"
Ding Chang smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"General Li, what you're saying is ridiculous. All Instances can be streamed live, and Lin Ye has been so successful lately, do I really need to remind him?"
Li Yunlong slapped his thigh and said somewhat impatiently:
"I did notice it, but I just considered her a little genius. We've seen plenty of young design prodigies like that; several emerge every year, so I didn't think much of it."
"But seeing Lin Ye's Level today, this isn't just some genius, he's clearly a god or Buddha of our Great Xia!"
"Lao Ding, do you know? With this level of skill, he's destined to lead our entire Great Xia forward in the future..."
"This kind of person is born to be earth-shattering and awe-inspiring!"
Seeing how excited Li Yunlong, Ding Chang knew that the guy was truly impressed by Lin Ye's talent.
However, what he was most concerned about now was the message from the Firmament.
Firmament said that if the Emperor and Itō Hidetaka did not surrender, there would be an even more cruel final punishment...
The most cruel and ultimate punishment?
Isn't it cruel enough that they so easily reduced several Military Bases on the Eastern Ocean Islands to ashes?
Could this be... not all the military technology in the Instance?!
Could this be Lin Ye's trump card?!
Ding Chang took a deep breath. To be honest, the Supersonic Missile he had just witnessed had already exceeded the limits of his imagination. He really couldn't think of any more powerful weapons Lin Ye could possibly have.
Imperial Garden Pavilion of Pines.
As Itō Hidetaka stared at the final message on the Firmament, he felt almost suffocated.
Every time he received such a threatening Firmament Notification, he would tremble with fear.
I'm afraid that if I make the wrong choice, the penalty for failing the Instance quest will be doubled.
The repeated torment had pushed Itō Hidetaka to his mental limit.
Looking back at the Instance Backend, there were now only two people left in the Instance.
Apart from him and the Emperor, no one else survived.
He knelt down before the Emperor with a thud and began to wail loudly.
"Emperor Majesty, we beg you, let us surrender!"
"We can't beat the Eagle Sauce Country, and we can't outplay Lin Ye... There's no way we can clear this Instance! It's all a complete scam!"
"It's a scam set up for us by the Great Xia people!"
As he spoke, tears streamed down Itō Hidetaka's trembling chin.
"Emperor Majesty, you said you would have our people in the Dahe Settlement fight to the very last moment... but now we are at our last gasp!"
"We have already lost!!"
No sooner had Itō Hidetaka finished speaking than a slap landed on his face, knocking him to the ground.
"Baka!"
Emperor Xiaochuan once again angrily dragged Itō Hidetaka up from the ground.
Then, with another powerful kick, he was sent flying two meters away, crashing heavily into the wall of the Pavilion of Pines.
That's a joke!
He is the Commander of the Emperor Dahe Settlement, and ranks among the top 20 on the Hero Ranking!
Having persisted to this extent, there is absolutely no reason for them to surrender.
If he surrenders, he will lose all face and will no longer be qualified to be Commander of Settlement.
"Surrender? Itō Hidetaka! Do you even know what you're saying?!"
"I told you before, the Great He Clan must never kneel! And certainly never kneel before Lin Ye, a Great Xia people!"
Even if there are only two of us, we will fight to the very last moment!
With that, the Emperor picked up the Samurai sword that had fallen to the ground and held it to Itō Hidetaka's neck.
"Let me tell you, Itō Hidetaka! If you dare to surrender, I'll make sure you're forever wiped out of this Instance!"
"Let's see if you dare utter another word of surrender! Don't forget who gave you that genius title!"
Itō Hidetaka was once again so frightened by the Emperor that he dared not speak and could only kowtow repeatedly.
The Emperor grabbed his clothes and dragged him directly into the courtyard outside the Pavilion of Pines.
"Itō Hidetaka, listen up! I'm about to make you die with me!"
"Us!"
"Dahe people!"
"To die a Bushido death, in the spirit of Bushido!"
Roaring, the Emperor pointed his sword at the sky, then ripped off his robe, revealing his bare chest.
He had already made up his mind. When Lin Ye's final Eagle Sauce Country arrived, he would commit seppuku first.
I will never allow myself to die at the hands of the Eagle Sauce Country.
Since victory is impossible, let's Bushido spirit save face!
"Firmament!! Listen up!"
The Emperor cried out to the heavens in anguish.
"Tell the Eagle Sauce Country! Tell Lin Ye! Tell this damned Raging Waves Instance! I will never surrender! I will fight to the last drop of blood."
"Let the Eagle Sauce Country artillery fire even more fiercely!"
For a moment, even the Firmament seemed to be stunned.
After a long while, a reply finally came.
[Firmament Notification: For humanitarian reasons and the survival rights of innocent people on the Eastern Ocean Islands, the Eagle Sauce Country has given you many opportunities, but you, as the Commander of the Eastern Ocean Islands, have consistently acted unilaterally...]
[Your Militarist Ideology is the deepest evil in the world. To maintain world peace, the Eagle Sauce Country will launch Nuclear Strike against you!]
[Nuclear Strike will reach Edo City in five minutes!]
"Nuclear Strike? Hah!" The Emperor continued to laugh wildly at the sky. "Come on then!"
If we can force Lin Ye to reveal his final trump card in this game that we are destined to lose.
That battle wasn't a complete defeat.
In the future, he will still have a chance to make a comeback!
"I want to see what other tricks Lin Ye has up his sleeve! Bring it on!"
[Nuclear Strike countdown: 04:20:60]
The Emperor had no idea what Nuclear Strike was; it was a term he had never heard of before. But at this moment, whether he understood it or not was irrelevant.
Because his Samurai sword was already positioned at his abdomen.
He would give himself a blow the moment the flames of war ignited.
In that case, he would end his own life, rather than being defeated by the Instance.
This was the only way he could salvage his self-respect, and it was his last act of defiance as Emperor.
[Nuclear Strike countdown: 03:10:40]
At this moment, the Emperor felt a rare sense of relief.
He didn't need to do anything; he just needed to quietly wait for Lin Ye's final "ultimate weapon" to arrive.
Time flies!
[Nuclear Strike countdown: 02:10:00]
[Nuclear Strike countdown: 01:13:14]
[Nuclear Strike countdown: 00:07:01]
[Nuclear Strike countdown: 00:00:00]
!!!
Finally, the countdown ended, and a huge roar echoed over Edo City.
High in the distance, a fighter jet, resembling a flying bird, gradually emerged from the clouds.
That was the B-2 Spirit bomber that Lin Ye had designed for the Eagle Sauce Country.
In fact, the bomber had been operating at high altitude over Edo City for a long time, but due to the extremely low detectability brought about by various cutting-edge technologies, no one noticed the bomber at all.
The reason for the booming sound at this moment is that he is about to drop the bomb!
[Firmament Notification: The Eagle Sauce B-2 Spirit bombers have arrived over Edo City and are about to drop the Atomic Bombs specially made for the Eastern Ocean Islands: Shorties!]
This Atomic Bomb, named "Shorties," was also specially made by Lin Ye, with an increased dosage specifically for the Creation Space, all so that it could achieve a "stunning" effect in this Instance.
Back in the S2 era, the two Atomic Bombs that the Eagle Sauce dropped on Shorties were actually not very large in volume due to early structural limitations.
The Little Boy is equivalent to the energy of 18,000 tons of Trinitrotoluene (TNT), while the fat man is equivalent to the energy of 20,000 tons of Trinitrotoluene (TNT).
This level of achievement is unworthy of the prestige of the Eagle Sauce.
Therefore, Lin Ye further enlarged the Atomic Bomb, piling it up to the point of containing 50,000 tons of Trinitrotoluene (TNT)!
The B-2 Spirit bomber slowly opened its delivery system, and a bomb resembling a pufferfish slowly fell from the sky.
The landing point has been rigorously calculated and will be exactly at the center of Edo.
At this moment, the Emperor and Itō Hidetaka also noticed the bomber's launching maneuvers, as well as the "Shorties" that had already been launched.
From high above, the Atomic Bomb looked like just a tiny black dot.
Perhaps because it was different from what he had expected, the Emperor was somewhat disappointed.
What is this?
"It's just a bomb!"
"I thought Lin Ye could come up with something amazing! Does he really think he can destroy Edo City with just one bomb?"
"I..."
Before the Emperor could finish speaking, a white light suddenly flashed before his eyes!
"Ah!" He couldn't help but let out a scream, feeling the sudden exposure and blood streaming from his eyes.
The white light was like the scorching Sun, plunging the entire world into a pale whiteness, while also causing an intense stinging sensation.
The Emperor struggled to open his eyes and saw an unbelievable scene.
In the heart of Edo, a tremendous force suddenly erupted, unleashing a tremendous shockwave that swept across the surrounding area like a raging storm.
Even the most solid buildings, as solid as iron, were mercilessly torn and twisted like fragile pieces of paper in the face of this force!
The vehicle was easily overturned by the force of the impact and tossed into the air like a toy.
Pedestrians on the ground were crushed by this force, flying through the air like shards of glass.
Then endless flames and thick smoke engulfed the city, twisting the straight streets into crooked shapes!
The buildings burned like giant torches, as if everything was instantly ignited, while the sky darkened and black smoke shot straight into the clouds.
As the flames spread, the intense heat wave reached the people of Edo.
They screamed and struggled, but they were powerless against the merciless flames. The shockwave evaporated them completely, leaving not even a trace of their bodies.
Only a few streaks of black powder remained on the ground, the only traces of their existence.
"This..."
The Emperor stood frozen in place, watching the scorching heatwave rush towards the Imperial Garden.
