440 Million Tons of TNT Equivalent
"The Star Alliance Country will definitely retaliate fiercely."
Lu Li could roughly guess his opponent's next move and was prepared for it.
We'll have to face nuclear weapons sooner or later; we can't dodge them forever. So we might as well confront them head-on.
Moreover, understanding one's own defensive capabilities and tolerance to trauma is even more important than offense, so it's a good opportunity to test both at the same time.
Lu Li slowly and deliberately circulated his body, gradually restoring the "Indestructible Will" that had been depleted earlier.
Electromagnetic signals were constantly being emitted from satellites overhead; there were at least 200 of them, meaning the entire Blue Star was watching this area.
Lu Li stirred, and he suddenly thought:
"If I withstand a nuclear explosion, it will definitely cause enormous panic in the Star Alliance Country and even the entire 'Free World'!"
"I'm really looking forward to seeing how these cancer cells react."
Lu Li himself didn't realize that he had expanded the area affected by the cancer cells.
Of course, there was no difference to begin with.
At the same time, the entire internet exploded.
[Nuclear explosion! The Star Alliance Country used a nuclear weapon!]
[The explosion cloud was 8 kilometers in diameter and had a yield of approximately 150,000 tons.]
[Damn, civilian satellites can't show what's going on at all. Does anyone have a high-definition version to share?]
Did Lu Li survive? Is he dead?
[It's hard to say... why would he go to such a godforsaken place?]
The nuclear explosion sent up clouds of smoke and dust that billowed and churned, making it impossible for ordinary people to see anything. They frantically cried out online in desperation.
The upper echelons of Blue Star were naturally fully aware of the situation.
In addition to state-of-the-art remote sensing satellites, anti-jamming drones were also launched from the following destroyer to conduct aerial photography.
Every frame of the transmitted footage is analyzed in real time by top scientists.
In particular, the golden light on Lu Li's body surface was recorded with every tremor of it.
These top scholars from Blue Star quickly reached a preliminary conclusion:
[This is a peculiar vector field that can deflect energy, but it is not infinite.]
[Theoretically, there is an extremely high risk of overload when facing high-yield nuclear weapons.]
The various speculations soon had the opportunity to be verified.
In the sky, a lone F-35 flew towards the Lu Li and dropped a 4-meter-long, pure white bomb.
This is a B-83 air-to-ground nuclear bomb with a yield of one megaton.
Lu Li watched silently as the thing crashed down on him, and when it was still 200 meters away, he suddenly exploded!
What appeared first was still that sun-like nuclear fireball, its radius increasing dramatically to 1.2 kilometers!
However, the temperature didn't rise much, remaining around 10,000 degrees Celsius.
Both are nuclear fusion processes, so there's not much difference; the only difference is the wider destructive range.
But this time, Lu Li wasn't on the edge of the nuclear fireball; he was completely encased inside! He fully withstood the intense heat of the nuclear explosion!
"Indestructible Will" cannot completely isolate high temperatures; temperature can also accumulate.
Lu Li's body instantly turned bright red, and burn marks and carbonization appeared on his skin.
But his eyes narrowed, and he activated his "Indestructible Will," which surged by three points, instantly blocking the invading high temperature.
However, this caused the consumption of the Indestructible Will to suddenly double.
The next second, another blast wave was generated!
Its intensity was more than twice that of before, and it was accompanied by the extremely high temperature of a nuclear fireball, instantly engulfing Lu Li.
The raging storm violently tore and bombarded, Indestructible Will to tremble violently and rapidly deplete.
Tiny cracks began to appear all over Lu Li's body!
The situation was dire, but instead he roared, "Excellent, that's more like it!"
Raising his arms to shield himself, Lu Li withstood the megaton-yield nuclear explosion, experiencing the burning pain and destruction, searching for his own limits.
"My Indestructible Will has been reduced by more than half, and my defense has also begun to decline... by 20%!"
"Indestructible Will is depleted by more than 70%, cracks will appear, and the defensive power will be halved!"
Lu Li carefully tested his body's defensive capabilities and the consequences of different types of injury, as well as their impact on combat effectiveness.
No one can have a smooth life forever; this knowledge will be of great use at crucial moments.
After persisting for 20 seconds, the "Indestructible Will" had been reduced by 80%.
Cracks also covered its entire body, like a piece of porcelain that had been shattered and pieced back together, which looked rather frightening.
Fortunately, the roar in his ears suddenly stopped, and when Lu Li looked up, the blast wave had already passed.
A vast mushroom cloud stretches across the sky and earth, rolling and surging, majestic and spectacular.
Lu Li was exhausted and felt extremely tired, but he couldn't rest right now!
He first withdrew his "Indestructible Will" to prevent it from being completely shattered.
An "Indestructible Will" is a bit like a muscle; as long as it's not overworked, it can recover after a few breaths.
But if you strain your muscles, it will take at least 10 days to two weeks to fully recover.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Li turned around and partially manifested a pair of black Dragon Wing to protect himself.
A high-yield nuclear explosion will blast away the air in the area, creating a vacuum.
The atmosphere will then backfill, causing secondary damage.
At that moment, a shockwave rushed back in the opposite direction, with almost the same force.
Without Indestructible Will, Lu Li would have had a hard time resisting. He was immediately swallowed up by a vast black storm and disappeared without a trace.
Along with it, 20 square kilometers of beach also disappeared.
The Earth Core, turning it into countless specks of dust that rose high into the sky, blocking out the light and plunging the entire area into a dim, twilight-like atmosphere.
All satellites and drones are doing their utmost to search for Lu Li's whereabouts.
General Levin, spitting as he roared, "Is he dead or not?! I need to know the answer now! Find him quickly!"
The officers were eager to find out the truth, so they quickly operated drones and satellites to search for it.
Meanwhile, Jessica stared blankly at the vast mushroom cloud, speechless.
Even from at least 50 kilometers away, one's body will instinctively feel fear of this terrifying man-made spectacle, and may even feel an urge to kneel down in worship.
But soon, a surprised smile appeared on Jessica's face!
A small black dot flew in from the side of the mushroom cloud, and upon closer inspection, it was Lu Li.
He took his phone out of the Kunlun Mirror and aimed it at the magnificent mushroom cloud to take a picture.
After filming the video, he posted it to his social media account via the MindNet network.
The public was focused on the nuclear explosion site and hadn't really noticed this; it would take some time for the shocking revelation to happen.
Meanwhile, Lu Li began to recover from his "injuries".
Facing a nuclear explosion with a yield of one megaton would not leave him unscathed; he was now not only dressed in rags, but also covered in large scorch marks.
The most terrifying thing is that half of his right hand is gone!
But this injury is nothing compared to what Golden Body Realm expert can do.
The self-healing factor took effect quickly, and the scorch marks visibly peeled off, revealing tender new skin.
The fingers grow a little slower, but under the influence of the body's internal energy, they continue to grow.
Once the mushroom cloud dissipates and the dust settles, everything will return to normal.
Lu Li stretched his wrists, looked at the carrier battle group, and planned to test its attack power.
