It was as if dazzling and beautiful fireworks were falling from the sky.

Of course, there is a price to pay for seeing such beauty.

Some war correspondents, aboard the airship, were stunned by the beautiful scene and kept recording it with their cameras.

"Run!"

"Get out of here right now!"

However, some airship pilots who were too close to the battlefield received hasty orders from a special group of people on board the airship.

They were a Nen user unit assigned by V5 to observe this "war".

They are extremely powerful, but their numbers are small. Overall, they were only sent by V5 to supervise the battle and keep an eye on the situation; they were not given any special missions.

But.

It's worth mentioning that...

Among them, there was initial dissatisfaction with V5 sending some ordinary people who were clearly not even awakened in Nen to participate in the battle.

For some Nen user value honor highly, this is underestimating themselves.

But.

Having just witnessed the power of the man-portable Blazing Uranium Shell, their thinking has changed.

At the very least.

Even if they used their Nen Abilities, they couldn't unleash such a terrifyingly powerful attack.

If you were to actually fight these "ordinary soldiers," although some of them are Nen user could easily kill their true forms.

But if they were to be surrounded by that artillery fire, they would have absolutely no chance of escaping from the terrifying, all-consuming power of the flames.

And at this very moment.

The Nen user, who was aboard the airship with the war correspondents, quickly reminded the airship pilot to leave.

It's because they've already noticed it.

The blazing white flames that filled the sky were a catastrophe that melted everything!

They fell slowly, igniting everything in their path.

As the grand fireworks display came to an end, all the Pterosaurs that had been struck by them began to struggle in mid-air before collapsing and falling from the sky, their bodies engulfed by the white flames.

Everything happened in complete silence.

The airship pilot and the war correspondents aboard naturally noticed this scene, and a chill ran down their spines; their eyes widened in astonishment.

If they hadn't run away, they probably would have become part of that burning mess too.

"Gulp..."

A war correspondent couldn't help but swallow hard, his voice trembling.

"What... what kind of weapon is this? It's... it's terrifying!"

He stood at the open doorway of the airship, gazing at the magnificent scene before him that seemed to depict the withering of ten thousand dragons. Even though these monsters were the enemies of humanity, he was momentarily speechless.

Located atop the head of that enormous Skeletal Winged Dragon.

Sashado remained expressionless. Even though the tactic launched by the enemy had resulted in the loss of more than half of his hundreds of thousands of Skeletal Winged Dragons, he felt no remorse.

Even if these mere monsters are gone, we can simply enter the [Netherworld Gate] again to kill and summon them once more.

However, the weapons used by these humans made him feel a little uneasy.

It's not that I'm worried the other party can deal with me.

Instead...

The immense destructive power displayed by this group of humans.

Sashado was not foolish; he originally intended to use his overwhelming power to sweep through all nations and subjugate them, just as he had done in the past.

But now... he realizes he may not be able to complete his reign.

The fact that such fragile human individuals can display such terrifying destructive power shows that they are not without the foundation for resistance. As long as there are forces of resistance, no matter what kind of country he establishes, there will always be people who continuously undermine his absolute rule.

This is something that Sashado, as a former king, cannot accept.

His pride wouldn't allow him to settle for such a compromise.

The blazing white flames, like sparks of starlight, fell upon Sashado and the Skeletal Winged Dragon beneath him. He remained motionless, casually waving his hand.

"Call--"

A sudden gust of wind seemed to sweep everything around him clean.

However, he still managed to reach out and grab a "white fire fragment," firmly holding it in his palm.

Sashado's cold, dark eyes stared at his palm.

Even through the thick layer of Nen, he could feel the scorching heat emanating from this inconspicuous "white fragment".

"No wonder... these guys were helpless once they came into contact with these embers."

"This temperature... their bodies simply cannot withstand it..."

The white embers, which maintain a near-constant temperature of 3000 degrees Celsius, are enough to ignite anything they encounter, and because of their texture, they are very difficult to completely remove once they come into contact with them.

The Pterosaurs that fell from the sky continued to burn with flames until they hit the ground.

It burned through the tough hide, turning all the internal organs into charcoal, which then became the perfect fuel, falling into Peji's city.

Soon, a section of Peji City was engulfed in flames from the Pterosaurs carcasses.

The people, already in a state of panic and hiding in their homes, discovered something even more terrifying: the flames were impossible to extinguish, burning straight through the concrete and steel structure as if they would never go out.

In an instant.

They were engulfed in a terrifying inferno.

Located inside the shelter.

The military leaders and President Xiupa, who had initially intended to rejoice at the heroic achievements of the V5 support soldiers, fell silent and trembled at the sight of this scene.

President Xiupa stared wide-eyed at the burning city on the screen, his lips trembling with rage.

"These... these bastards..."

These V5 soldiers, fully aware of the power of their weapons, still used them recklessly, showing no regard for Peji's life.

Even Xiupa, who only wanted to escape from this place, couldn't help but feel a burning hatred upon seeing this scene.

After all, he is the president of the Republic of the Congo, and he grew up in Peji, so seeing this scene must have been very upsetting for him.

The soldiers sent to provide support for V5 naturally didn't care much about this.

Even if the orders from above sound very nice, like "saving the people of Peji!"

But they knew all too well... that they had only one purpose for this trip: to completely annihilate the monster that had destroyed one human city after another, no matter the cost!

Therefore, they would not hesitate to sacrifice the entire Peji, especially since only a part of the city was affected by the war at this time.

As time goes by.

At this time, it is located worldwide.

More and more people are paying attention to the news and programs being broadcast on television.

Until this moment.

Only then did people learn that such a horrific event had occurred in the Republic of the Congo, thousands of miles away, to the point that V5 had dispatched an elite Special Forces to eradicate it.

Even if it's a video clip that everyone sees, selected and used.

But at this moment, everyone also saw the terrifying weapon of war, as dazzling as fireworks, yet bringing destruction to countless ferocious monsters.

This moment.

The entire world is once again reminded of the horrific results V5 had inflicted in war.

They... became V5 through their overwhelming and terrifying carnage.

It's not that becoming a V5 grants you the power to sit in your seat and control the world.

At the same time.

Located within the Sharku Manor.

Ian and the others were enjoying their food while watching what was being broadcast on television.

Upon seeing the sky filled with white flame fragments...

Ian couldn't help but think of the infamous white phosphorus bombs from his past life.

Of course... the weapons used by these human soldiers are no less powerful than white phosphorus bombs, and in fact, in terms of the density of their blast radius, they are even denser than white phosphorus bombs.

It's like the massive "Dragon Star Cluster" used by Zeno to escort Netero to the scene during the battle to exterminate the Meruem.

Ordinary soldiers present.

Indeed, thanks to their weaponry, they achieved a "monster-clearing efficiency" even more terrifying than top-tier Nen users...
