The reactor hall of the nuclear power plant suddenly shook violently, as if the entire building were experiencing an 8.0-magnitude earthquake.
The radiation alarms in the control room let out piercing shrieks, and every gauge needle swung wildly.
The boric acid water in the fuel pool began to boil. Tens of thousands of blue bubbles surged from the surfaces of the fuel rods—these were not steam, but Cherenkov Radiation released when Connors' Bioelectric Field resonated with the Neutron Moderator.
In one thousandth of a second, the water in the fuel pool was ionized into a Plasma State, and a blue-violet arc pierced straight through the entire Reactor Core.
A spherical shockwave equivalent to 500 tons of TNT Equivalent spread outward, shattering the Prestressed Concrete Wall, which could withstand an aircraft impact, like a biscuit. The blast flipped over the three-ton Lead Shielding Door.
The Blast Door was blown away like a sheet of paper, while the Radiation-proof Glass in the control room crumbled into powder under the overpressure.
Wherever the shockwave passed, Steel Struts twisted and snapped, and Monitoring Probes vaporized instantly.
Yet after the smoke and dust cleared, Connors stood in the center of the ruins, contentedly shaking his body as if he had just finished a sauna.
At the heart of the explosion, Connors was undergoing an unprecedented transformation.
Connors' skin temperature remained at 800 degrees centigrade, yet it miraculously failed to ignite the surrounding organic matter—its surface was covered in a Nano-scale Graphene-like Structure that confined the heat in perfect thermodynamic equilibrium.
The monitoring equipment captured a hair-raising sight: its scale-covered skin was absorbing the Fast Neutrons in the shockwave. The lethal radiation, enough to kill any living creature, was now being devoured like nourishment by the raised Lattice Structure along its back.
Thermal imaging showed that
