Ronan controlled the detonation point of the nuclear missile at an altitude of three thousand meters. That put it over two kilometers away from the explosive point designed by the Reclamation Corps. Though the shockwave and thermal radiation could still inflict some damage, and the ensuing radioactive fallout would be devastating to the surrounding ecosystem... this stretch of sea would not become any worse than it already was.
As for how he had detonated it ahead of time, naturally, it was because of the Soul Cape.
Ronan had already spread the Water Condensation Ring version of the Soul Cape across most of Outer Earth.
The Water Condensation Ring truly was a godly technique. It could rapidly condense water molecules into carriers for Soul Power. On a life-bearing planet like Earth, rich in water vapor, it was practically omnipresent—at least across the planet's surface. With the help of Demon Runes, Ronan had also been vigorously building an Altar Spiderweb system throughout Outer Earth, raising the upper limit of this soul projection clone's power. After two or three days, it had basically reached the level he had possessed around last year's Extreme Domain Light incident.
He could not speak for other places, but across Outer Earth's five hundred million square kilometers of surface—ninety-nine percent of this planet's biosphere—Ronan could intervene wherever he pleased. And as time passed and his Soul Power reserves steadily increased, his ability to interfere would only become deeper and more formidable.
For instance, not only had Ronan interfered with that nuclear missile's detonation point, he had even traced it to a missile launch base four hundred kilometers to the southeast. He had more or less uncovered how many nuclear missiles were stockpiled inside that base, how its launch procedures worked, and who was responsible.
If necessary, that nuclear
