Eleven minutes and thirty-three seconds later, dazzling white light like a high-frequency flashbulb instantly illuminated the heavy sky.
The searing heat, which instantly soared to tens of millions of degrees, surpassed the sun and melted everything around it amid the fission.
A violent shock wave swept across the battlefield.
As mushroom clouds rose one after another, the blood-red tide covering the ground seemed to be interrupted as well, coming to a brief halt.
The tactical warheads originally intended for intercontinental nuclear counterattacks were scattered across the Far East. With hypersonic technology, they completed their mission in mere moments.
But everything was only temporary.
In the deathly silent Command Room, Tyre struggled to push himself upright using the console, looking as though he had aged ten years.

He could not bear such a cost.
At the same time, he was not certain whether the Hell's Gate that constantly spewed out monsters would be destroyed
