"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!"
The enormous bomb the previous Sloth had left in his room had crossed the turn of the century and, decades later, finally detonated in Tinghai City.
Before it exploded, no one knew how powerful it would be.
Bai Zhou had only made a rough guess. Since it was a treasure left behind by the underworld overlord who had been invincible in Tinghai, something he had kept close at hand in his room, its power had to be extraordinary. At the very least, it ought to pose a lethal threat to someone on his own level.
That had been a powerful being who had touched the threshold of a Decayer—

And now, it had exploded.
A massive mushroom cloud visible from almost anywhere in Tinghai, with a crown of smoke that seemed from a distance to nearly touch the Blood Moon overhead, proved just how powerful the bomb was.
An unparalleled shock wave surged in every direction. Wherever it passed, towering buildings and reinforced concrete collapsed like paper constructions. Dense, sharp fragments became a storm sweeping into the distance, creating an incomparably spectacular sight.
