The Situation Back Home

But the next second, the massive Fire Domain suspended high in the sky, along with the roaring whirlwinds, ferocious fire dragons, and the giant eyes used for showing off, all collapsed inwards instantly.

There was no explosion, no loud noise, only a strange sound as if the air was being instantly sucked out.

Everything seemed to be compressed onto that meteorite in an extremely short period of time, flashing brightly before plummeting downwards.

The long-tongued madman laughed wildly, opening his mouth wide as he let the meteorite enter.

In an instant, all that remained of the person was their mouth.

Buzz--!

An indescribable hemispherical field, composed purely of light, silently expanded from the center of that gigantic mouth, giving everyone a blast.

The light was so intense that it swallowed all colors and shapes, as if the world had been reset to pure white at that moment, far more dazzling than the Sun.

When visibility returned, the magnificent Fire Domain in the sky had vanished without a trace, leaving only a false pixelated Sun, indifferently illuminating the earth.

It was as if the cataclysmic scene we had just witnessed was merely a vivid collective hallucination.

Only the lingering, not-yet-completely-subsided turbulent Mana energy in the air and the enormous, shocking crater in the ground proved that everything that had just happened was real.

A gentle breeze blew by, carrying the coolness of Surviving the Calamity.

"This... this... this power is even more outrageous than some low-yield nuclear bombs, isn't it?"

Binluk opened his mouth wide and asked Layton.

"In terms of instantaneous energy release peak, it doesn't have it, but its flexibility and individual control far surpass modern guidance systems. After all, its power comes from within itself..." Layton was more composed; he had seen far larger scenes than this.

What's terrifying is that the madman didn't die despite such a horrific attack!

Directly above that enormous crater, a Black Hole, about one meter in diameter, stubbornly remained suspended.

After about ten seconds, the opening contracted violently, then suddenly protruded a tattered but still wriggling "tongue".

The severed tongue fell to the ground, and like a compressed towel getting wet, it grew larger and taller, eventually transforming back into the shape of that long-tongued madman.

He seems to have been fully Resurrection.

He climbed out of the giant pit, smiled shyly, as if he hadn't just swallowed the meteorite.

He pulled out a crumpled piece of paper and a broken pen out of thin air, wrote a few words, and then tossed it gently. The paper seemed to be held up by an invisible hand, floating and drifting towards the direction of Zone 76.

After doing all this, he bowed to the surroundings, and his figure slowly faded away, disappearing completely from the battlefield along with his candy Sanctuary.

[Region 12385 has been eliminated; all remaining regions receive +1 point]

Soon, another notification sound rang out.

[Region 65846 has been eliminated; all remaining regions receive +2 points]

Three hours later, Su Luo looked at the Sanctuary that was mostly completed and turned her attention to the noisy crowd beside her.

Currently on the battlefield, there are Su Luo -one people in total, mostly young people, with various skin colors and eye colors.

Two people died, both from the area where there were four people before.

The four people in the area, dissatisfied, first confronted Shan Yixian, and then one of them was instantly killed by a certain item.

Later, when they were discussing rankings, another person died.

"The rankings are already out, so let's all be more amicable. There's an old saying in my family: harmony brings wealth."

Xi Ji invited everyone to sit down, and offered them benches and cigarettes.

The people who took the makeshift metal stools and sat down had strange expressions on their faces; they hadn't expected to hold a meeting in such a place.

Everyone sat in a row around a large, makeshift stone table, which inexplicably gave the feeling of attending a banquet.

"Come on, let's exchange information and have a chat."

Shan Yixian walked past the dozen or so people sitting down and went straight to Su Luo: "Can I see the message that madman sent you earlier?"

Su Luo readily handed it to him to see.

[I'm out of Resurrection, I'm quitting; you were a lot of fun, I'll play with you next time--Food]

"Why don't you come play with me?" Shan Yixian muttered, then changed the subject.

"This guy has such incredible abilities, I wonder what kind of Talent he has. I feel like he's in Forbidden Class."

"There aren't that many Forbidden Class. Those with strong and strange abilities are most likely Talent, and their profession is just a supporting role. If you ask me, there will definitely be advanced professions that can easily defeat Forbidden Class in the future."

Binluk had rushed over early and was standing to the side watching Su Luo build matchboxes, complained.

Layton nodded.

"By the way," Shan Yixian turned to him, "Where did you get that nuclear bomb?"

"I got it from my hometown," Layton said casually.

"What?!"

"One of my Talents allows me to return to places I've been before, but there are limitations... but I can go back to Blue Star."

Layton pulled the nuclear bomb out of his System Space, stroking it like a precious antique. "I smuggled it from the U. S. base. It took me a lot of effort to learn how to use it roughly after bringing it here."

These words made everyone turn their heads, including Su Luo.

What the hell?

"There's a limit to what you can bring in teleportation! It's limited to small items. Only after becoming a professional and having System Space can you bring larger items," Layton continued.

"That's not what I'm asking," someone said urgently. "How's things back home now?"

Su Luo was also very interested.

If the system hadn't fixed the bug, Su Luo might still be on Blue Star.

Although there is a high possibility that they could be blown up by various unmaintained facilities.

"The situation is bad; most areas are no longer suitable for living. Before becoming a professional, I didn't dare stay there for long, afraid of dying there."

"Take it back. Stop playing with your crappy nuclear bomb," Binluk said.

"Alright... shall I explain in detail? I thought it was too long before, exceeding the limit for a single message, so I was too lazy to post it in the World Channel. This is a good opportunity to consolidate the information. You can each post one message in the World Channel when you get back."

"No problem."

"Then I'll begin..."

"In the 12 hours since Crossing, I've figured out this playstyle for my Talent, run back to Blue Star and got several guns, as well as enough supplies for me... Haha, thanks to this method, I've consistently been at the forefront of the region."

"Unfortunately, we couldn't bring enough heavy firepower, so we couldn't handle the slightly higher-level monsters. However, I had the advantage of striking first and became the first professional in our area... Later..."

"Stop telling your Legendary being a middleman, we want to hear about our hometown," Shan Yixian interrupted impatiently, expressing what everyone was thinking.

"Okay, you guys are really not good listeners... Have you ever heard of those Dead Hand Systems online before?"

Everyone nodded.

"For some unknown reason, perhaps due to a regional power grid collapse? In any case, less than two days after the Crossing, the first nuclear missile was launched, likely from North Asia."
