Magic Fission

In the Inafo Valley, the newly born Green-skinned Orcs are greedily devouring the surrounding soil, vegetation, and even rocks, turning everything into nutrients for their growth.

Suddenly, a piercing shriek rang out, and some orcs looked up in surprise, only to see a blurry black dot in the sky.

What is that?

"I don't know either, it looks like a big black bird egg."

"Is this edible?"

"No, that thing looks like it's made of iron, and it's shiny. It should be able to be made into an iron rod."

Upon seeing something they had never seen before, the newly born Green-skinned Orcs curiously raised their heads and began to chatter noisily, making the valley incredibly chaotic.

Unbeknownst to them, this was a gift prepared for him by Keosius and the Imperial military engineers— Magic Fission Bomb.

Inside the black metal cartridge case were two Dragon Saliva Pearl, personally crafted by the Red Dragon, capable of unleashing the explosive power of Ninth Circle Spell in an instant, and engraved with Trigger Spell spell array.

The monks of the Original Restoration Society and the empire's Archmage joined forces to extract high concentrations of plutonium, which they used as nuclear fuel.

When both Dragon Saliva Pearl are activated simultaneously, they will generate a powerful implosion wave, causing the outer charge to converge towards the center, making its density exceed the critical value.

Following this, the nuclear fuel will release enormous energy and even more neutrons, triggering a chain reaction that releases energy equivalent to tens of thousands of tons of TNT within a fraction of a second—the so-called nuclear fission explosion.

This is the most advanced weapon of mass destruction currently available to the Embers of the Burned Empire, a culmination of technology and magic. It contains several nested high-ring magic arrays of seven rings or higher, and its cost is close to 100,000 Gold Coin.

The first experiment was conducted in the uninhabited area of Vahalla Glacier. It is said that after the Earth-Shattering explosion, the area within dozens of miles was turned into a scorched wasteland filled with thick smoke and poisonous fire.

However, it was not called an atomic bomb, but was named "Dragon's Wrath Bomb" by the head of the Imperial Military Engineering Department —meaning to Embers of the Burned Emperor's wrath.

But these newly born Green-skinned Orcs knew nothing of this, and continued to look up at the sky, discussing the strange black giant egg.

"Don't let it fall!"

"Stop it!"

Soro was furious, and his roar was transmitted through the spore network to the minds of all the Green-skinned Orcs, making the chaotic force field extremely powerful.

"What's going on? I think I heard the boss's voice?"

"What exactly is that thing?"

Amidst the clamor of discussion, the Green-skinned Orcs remained completely bewildered, utterly unaware that a catastrophe was about to befall them.

Meanwhile, the black iron ball in the sky was getting closer and closer to them, and the sound was becoming more and more piercing, almost tearing the orcs' eardrums apart.

When they were less than 100 meters from the ground, the two Dragon Saliva Pearl were triggered, creating a powerful implosion wave.

The magical fission bomb has been detonated! The wrath of the Embers of the Burned Emperor has descended upon the world!

The world fell silent at first, but this silence was brewing a terrifying disaster, like the calm before a storm.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely bright and dazzling light suddenly appeared in the sky, stretching across the horizon and obscuring the sun's brilliance.

"My eyes are going blind!"

"It's so bright!"

"Gruumsh above!"

The Green-skinned Orcs covered their eyes and hid in the shadows. They had never seen such blinding light since birth, and their skin was even burned with black spots.

Immediately afterwards, the flash released terrifying heat, instantly heating the surrounding air to millions of degrees Celsius.

The extreme heat was enough to instantly ignite all flammable materials, creating a blazing flame that formed a huge fireball at the core of the explosion. The fireball expanded at an extremely fast speed, displaying a mixed light of white, orange, and red.

At these temperatures of millions of degrees, everything around would instantly evaporate, becoming extremely fragile.

"Divine Punishment, this is simply Divine Punishment! Could it be that the Sun God is behind the Embers of the Burned Empire?" Mok asked incredulously.

"No, my gift!" Soro roared hoarsely, throwing his spear at the bomb—but it was too late.

In an instant, the Green-skinned Orcs within the fireball's range were destroyed, melted, or even evaporated before they could even utter a wail, leaving not a trace of ashes.

The water molecules in their bodies are ionized, and their muscles and bones are rapidly carbonized. The entire process of their bodies "disappearing into thin air" takes less than 0.1 seconds.

Immediately afterwards, the Shockwave from the explosion spread rapidly, sweeping across the sky and the earth, stirring up clouds of dust and smoke.

"Boom--"

The earth roared, the sky howled, and the whole world trembled at the sight of this massive explosion! In an instant, the high-temperature, high-pressure, and extremely fast Shockwave leveled everything within several kilometers.

"Boom!" The mountain peaks cracked and the valley collapsed. The wide Bindler River even boiled, with countless plumes of white smoke rising and the river water evaporating completely, resembling a scene from the end of the world.

The sky is falling and the earth is cracking!

The powerful explosion shook the ground violently, cracking the earth and creating countless fissures. Debris and trees were thrown into the air, filling it with dust and burning material, and visibility gradually became blurred.

"Boom!" Another loud noise rang out, and countless boulders cracked and disintegrated under the high temperature, collapsing like a tidal wave, burying the Inafo Valley!

The gas, dust, and smoke from the explosion rose rapidly, carrying immense energy as they expanded into the sky, creating a giant mushroom cloud!

Its base is dark orange, turning grayish-white as it ascends. The top of the mushroom cloud reaches several miles into the sky, reaching the heavens and earth, making it exceptionally spectacular.

In addition to light and fire, heat radiation rapidly spread to a radius of hundreds of kilometers, causing the temperature to rise sharply. Trees, wild grass, animal hides, and all flammable materials quickly caught fire, and Mars flew everywhere.

The earth was like a body of water tossed with a giant rock, creating scorching ripples that swept away everything within a hundred miles.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

"Run!"

"I don't want to die!"

The orcs desperately fled towards the outer perimeter, pushing and shoving each other as they jumped into the river. But soon, the river boiled, cooking the orcs who had jumped in. In the blink of an eye, the outer river water evaporated completely, and the riverbed was charred black and piled with the unrecognizable remains of Green-skinned Orcs.

Under the baptism of the high-temperature Shockwave, the orcs that had not yet been conceived underground were burned to ashes and became part of the soil.

In the sky, countless burning materials rained down, bringing death and disaster to the earth.

"No, no, I haven't completed Mother Goddess's task yet!" Mok raised his scepter and roared hoarsely, his gloomy face showing rare expressions of anger, despair, and panic.

As the scepter rose, countless spores and mycelia surged from all directions, tightly wrapping around his body to form a huge and thick cocoon, more than twenty meters high, enveloping Mok within it.

But compared to the scorching winds and billowing dust that swept across the land, it was like an extremely tiny speck of dust.

"Boom--"

The violent heat energy swept in like a tsunami, roaring towards us. Mok's giant cocoon only lasted for a moment before it burst into flames, turning into a charred fireball.

From within the fireball came Mok's venomous and resentful wail. "No—how could it be the Sun God! How could He still be awake!!"

Soon, the Orc Shaman was engulfed in flames by the heat, his body evaporating completely and turning into a black, humanoid charcoal.

Even until his death, the orc believed it was the Sun God's Punishment and refused to believe that the Divine Punishment scene was created by those Imperial People —after all, the power was too terrifying, practically a disaster from the ancient God War.

Soro knelt on the ground with his eyes closed. His skin was constantly being burned and dried, emitting wisps of white smoke. But the legendary creature's tenacious Life Force allowed him to survive for the time being, barely holding on in the heatwave and preventing him from dying instantly.

The last Orc Chieftain trembled, his voice shaking. "How... how could this be? I was supposed to be the savior of the orc race! How could this happen!"

His knees were on the scorching, red-hot ground. He suddenly raised his head in prayer, his face contorted in a grimace, his expression almost crazed. "Great, mighty Father God Gruumsh, those damned Imperial People have destroyed everything we have! I curse them! I beg you—"

"Boom!"

A crimson bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, cleaving through the thick smoke that obscured the sky and striking Soro.

When the orc opened his eyes again, his left eye was dim, while a murky, violent light appeared in his right eye, and his skin was covered with hideous and bizarre totems.

Soro remained unmoved amidst the terrifying heatwave, slowly opening his mouth, his tone revealing an uncontrollable rage.

"Keosius"

You will pay the price.

"Full speed ahead! Climb upwards!"

"Quick! We must get out of the blast radius immediately! Otherwise, we'll all be wiped out here!"

A piercing shriek rang out, but it paled in comparison to the deafening explosions.

One after another, streaks of light and flame pierced the sky, broke through the thick smoke from the explosion, and rose straight up, soon appearing more than ten miles above the ground.

—They are the Air Force Corps of the Embers of the Burned Empire, and the culprits behind the natural disaster just now.

Staring at the mushroom cloud rising from the ground, Steamed Bun was dumbfounded and said with lingering fear, "Thank goodness we ran fast, otherwise we would have been charred again."

At that moment, a very fitting and exciting piece of music was playing in Steamed Bun's headphones—"aLIEz".

"Holy crap, nuclear weapons!"

"Damn it, we were almost wiped out!"

"Who knew that thing was so powerful? It wasn't even marked. I thought it was just a Fuel Air Explosive!"

"If we get irradiated, will we mutate? Growing three eyes and four legs or something, that would be so cool."

"I suggest you go and try some nuclear wastewater yourself."

Singo clicked his tongue in amazement. "A magical fission weapon, as expected of that madman Curtis's creation. They actually managed to come up with something like this. It's like a bloodline awakening."

"Nuclear weapon?"

Steamed Bun was startled. He thought he was playing a fantasy adventure game with swords and magic, but now—why is the style of the game getting more and more off track?

Muskets and cannons are one thing, but how did they even manage to develop nuclear weapons? The Church of the Machine God is truly heinous!

Singo said mysteriously, "That's not all. It's said that they've also developed a Space Collapse Bomb that can even destroy small Demiplane, but it's not very stable yet."

Steamed Bun broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to himself that it was best not to provoke these big shots easily—especially that seemingly gentle and refined Bishop Curtis.

Another Wyvern Knight asked, "After being blown up by this thing, there shouldn't be any living creatures within a radius of ten miles, right? Is our mission over?"

"Not necessarily. I haven't received a notification that the mission is complete yet. Let's be careful." Singo looked down at the ground.

The mushroom cloud had not yet dissipated, the ground was still shrouded in thick smoke, and the high-temperature, high-pressure Shockwave was still spreading wildly.

Even Singo, Steamed Bun, and the others, who had already flown out of the blast radius, felt waves of heat hitting them.

Steamed Bun laughed and said, "We're bombing orcs, not Saiyans. Do you really think they can withstand a nuclear explosion with their bare hands?"

Singo shook his head. "That's not necessarily true. The legendary and above powerhouses in the Erezege world are extremely terrifying, far beyond our current understanding. Even nuclear weapons might not be able to kill them."

He glanced at the steamed Steamed Bun that were running alongside him before continuing, "For example, that orc Fighter who strung you up like a candied hawthorn skewer from hundreds of meters away last time."

"Depend on"

Upon hearing this, Steamed Bun was extremely depressed and stopped talking, only feeling heartbroken at the loss of experience.

The Wyvern Knight hovered high in the sky, carefully observing the aftermath of the explosion.

"The Inafo Valley has collapsed and been buried by lava. No surviving orcs have been found yet."

"The Bindler River has dried up."

"The Orc Temple on the mountainside has also been reduced to ruins, and no survivors have appeared. The orcs inside must have all died."

Just as the Wyvern Knight were exchanging information, their headsets started buzzing with a loud noise again, and then their communication with command center was restored.

Curtis's voice came through the earpiece again. "What a magnificent fireworks display! I wonder if you are all satisfied with the 'surprise' prepared for you? Hehe, the name of that magic fission bomb is ' Fat Boy '."

Upon hearing this, the Wyvern Knight remained silent, but in their hearts they all cursed in unison, "Madman!"

"Etc--"

Suddenly, Curtis paused, his tone becoming extremely serious. "We have detected an extremely powerful energy entity, far exceeding the instrument's limits."

There is a legendary being nearby, no, a being beyond legendary status! He/She may very well be an incarnation of a god!!

"Boom!"

A fierce wind howled, and a beam of blood-red light shot into the sky, dispelling the thick smoke that had enveloped the earth.

The crowd looked over in alarm and saw a huge orc clad in full black plate armor, covered in battle wounds, with only one eye in the center, holding Blood Spear, looking up at the sky, emanating a powerful aura from behind.

The gaze of that single, profound eye, even from tens of thousands of meters away, sent God War and made them tremble, almost causing them to fall from the sky.

"Keosius— "

The orc was furious, and his roar shook the earth.
