The energy utilization rate of a nuclear explosion outside the body is not as high as that inside the body, since the various energy phenomena of a nuclear explosion will disperse the nuclear energy.
High temperatures, shock waves, and light all contribute to reducing the actual destructive power of a nuclear explosion.
However, that cannot ignore the immense destructive power of a nuclear explosion.
Currently, the attack power unleashed by the nuclear explosion within a level 2 body exceeds 15,000 points. Once it advances to level 3, the nuclear explosion within the body will reach at least 40,000 points, or even higher.
Even if the maximum destructive power of an externally shaped nuclear bomb is only half that of an internal nuclear explosion, it would still be 20,000 points!
20,000 points
The attack range is hundreds or even thousands of meters, making it a clear area-of-effect attack. There's nothing more convenient for clearing out low-level life forms.
Who says that externally constructed nuclear bombs can only be fired once? Once the mental energy is fully formed, it's entirely possible to copy and paste multiple ones...
At that point, if several or even a dozen nuclear bombs were detonated simultaneously, who would dare say that the damage would be minimal?
The above are all Leo's speculations about his third-level period. There will be differences from the actual situation, but not by much.
The most important thing now is to use the Level-Surpassing Amplification Magic Array to achieve initial mental control and build the basic conditions for an external nuclear explosion.
But now the entire battlefield is in complete chaos, with wave after wave of violent energy crashing down. Leo's mental power is like a small sailboat sailing on a stormy sea, easily capsized and sinking to the bottom of the ocean.
If you fail once, keep trying.
It continued twice.
There was no time for him to hesitate or doubt, nor time for him to hurl insults.
He went from nothing to becoming Legendary Wizard, experiencing countless failures, and his heart was forged into an indomitable spirit.
Hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of failures could not shake his resolve.
Back then, in order to calculate the equation for the trajectory of the neutron, he failed millions of times and spent hundreds of years, but that did not stop him from completing the construction of the particle trajectory equation.
What are these current difficulties compared to what happened back then? They're insignificant.
As the days passed, the great battle continued. The metal giants showed no signs of fatigue or defeat, and energetically chased after the wizard army everywhere.
The land, scarred by battle, is almost completely eroded. This is why the Rota World originally had no distinct landscape; it was as clean as a battlefield that had been prepared long ago.
Leo, on the other hand, was already drenched in sweat from overusing his mental energy, his magical power surging. The sweat turned into water vapor as soon as it was expelled from his pores.
So much so that he looked like a steaming kettle!
However, no matter how hard Leo tried or how difficult it was to control his mental energy, he still couldn't complete the basic structure of a nuclear explosion.
At most, I was interrupted after completing only 10%.
"Master, the time has come; we must launch our attack."
Leo stopped manipulating his mental energy, and smiled wryly. Ten days was too short, especially on a battlefield with such violent energy; he couldn't control that energy.
Although the attempt to construct an in vitro nuclear explosion failed, it does not mean that the attempt was fruitless.
Within ten days, he found the direction for the future Level 3 and also touched the threshold for advancing to Level 3.
This is a very big gain.
Does it mean that if an external nuclear explosion isn't successfully released within ten days, it's not considered a success?
"Good."
Leo's body jolted violently, shaking off all the sweat.
The Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard only gave him ten days to experience it; regardless of whether he succeeded or not, he had to stop.
Leo understood that the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard couldn't possibly provide unlimited support just because he was being taken care of. Giving him the right to use Level-Surpassing Amplification Magic Array composed of 10,000 Elemental Wizard to amplify his level over ten days and help him find the direction of the third level was already a special treatment from the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard.
The right to use the Level-Surpassing Amplification Magic Array is not important; what is important is that it allows the observer to see the direction of the third level through amplification.
This kind of guidance, which is not explicitly stated but is implicitly pointed out, is the most valuable.
If any other wizard wanted to experience the same thing, they'd be lucky to escape with their head smashed open.
How could Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard Stigmata Wizard possibly offer guidance so casually!
Now that he has stopped constructing the external form of the level three sorcery, Leo did not leave the mothership deck, nor did he disband the Level-Surpassing Amplification Magic Array. He took the opportunity to use his current level three mental power to explore the changes in strength after reaching level three, and also wanted to use the current amplification to besiege the ten-thousand-meter metal giant.
With a mothership present, the danger is greatly reduced; at the very least, we can escape quickly.
Furthermore, with the Level-Surpassing Amplification Magic Array, he doesn't need to use the Bloodline Power from the body-refining side; he can simply use ranged attacks.
He couldn't possibly lead ten thousand Elemental Wizard into close combat with this terrifying life form. Didn't you see that even the Beast Blood Boiling Stigmata Wizard, after exchanging a few blows, retreated to a distance and quietly unleashed ranged magical attacks?
This gives you an idea of just how terrifying the melee combat ability of this ten-thousand-meter-tall metal giant, formed by two World Lord and a cosmic-level treasure, is!!!
Primarily using elemental sorcery, and with her mental power now enhanced to level three, although she cannot perform an external nuclear explosion, an internal nuclear explosion is not a problem.
" Elemental Body Refinement Wizard, Second Layer Thunderstorm Giant Bloodline, Activated!"
Leo let out a low roar, directly activating his second Bloodline and transforming into Thunderstorm Giant nearly twelve meters tall. His body was crackling with lightning, and his power manifested, making him a top-tier existence on the second level of body refinement.
The Godslaying Staff in his hand extended to seven meters, just enough for the Thunderstorm Giant to grip and stomp on the ground.
" Thunder Conversion Great Sorcery!"
The magical power within his body transformed into a violent surge of lightning current, which circulated throughout his body with his blood, forming a powerful current circle around his stomach. This electromagnetism created a strong magnetic field in the stomach, which was located at the center of his body.
He swallowed a mouthful of nuclear material and prepared to calculate the nuclear fission equation.
However, Leo subconsciously overlooked the fact that he now possessed level three mental strength, and the nuclear fission equation, which originally required several tens of seconds to calculate, was now completed instantly.
" Nuclear Fission Grand Witchcraft!"
A beam of light shot out from the Godslaying Staff, striking directly at the ten-thousand-meter-tall metal giant that was crushing several warships.
With a deafening boom, the nuclear fission beam struck the back of the metal giant's head. The powerful attack left no mark and didn't even register on the giant's face. After being hit by Leo's nuclear fission attack, the giant continued chasing after the other warships.
For a 10,000-meter-tall metallic giant, such an attack is less severe than a mosquito bite on a human.
Leo wasn't frustrated that no damage had been inflicted, nor were the other Elemental Wizard. After all, it wasn't just Leo who couldn't inflict damage; all the wizards, the warships, and even the energy cannons on the mothership couldn't do anything about it.
Leo stopped attacking and instead looked at the energy traces left by his nuclear fission beam. The attack power of this nuclear fission beam reached 20,000 points!!!
This is an attack number that has never been achieved before!
Because subconsciously, the amount of nuclear material used was still the same as before—0.7 grams.
To unleash 20,000 points of attack power from 0.7 grams of nuclear material, the nuclear fission efficiency must exceed 50%!
Leo suppressed his heart, which was pounding wildly. A fission efficiency of 50%! This was a terrifying number that he had never dared to imagine before.
That's an exaggeration.
This means that 0.35 grams of nuclear material out of 0.7 grams participated in the fission reaction, which also means that he has reached a new level of understanding of nuclear fission.
"Is this the strength of level three?"
Leo grinned. He had thought that his attack power of over 15,000 points at level two was already monstrous, but at level three, he could easily surpass that number with a single move. The gap between level two and level three was truly insurmountable.
"You're going to heaven."
Yaoyao deliberately gaped in shock. Given the current fission efficiency, Leo, already monstrous at level two, would become a nightmare for any lower-level life form once he reached level three!
Leo didn't speak, but instead took out another piece of nuclear material and swallowed it.
He said to Yaoyao, "Prepare to record the data."
"Okay."
Yaoyao eagerly pulled out paper and pen from the Shadow Space, waiting for Leo's voice.
One second later,
Leo raised the Godslaying Staff in his hand and unleashed a nuclear fission beam at the distant metal giant.
Looking at the trail left by the beam of light in the air, Leo calmly said, "0.8 grams of nuclear raw material, fission efficiency 50%, attack power 22132 points."
After saying that, Leo immediately swallowed the next portion of nuclear material, preparing for the next attack.
He now possesses level three mental strength and needs to test his attack power model to find the optimal attack configuration, thus making some preparations for his future advancement to level three.
One nuclear fission beam after another struck, Leo calmly calculated each attack.
"0.9 grams of nuclear material, fission efficiency 48%~50%, attack power 23904~24900 points."
"1 gram of nuclear material, fission efficiency 48%~50%, attack power 26559~27666 points."
"2 grams of nuclear raw material, fission efficiency 35%~38%, attack power 50964~55333 points."
"2.1 grams of nuclear material, fission efficiency 32%~35%, attack power 37184~40670 points."
"2.2 grams of nuclear material, fission efficiency 31%~34%, attack power 37737~41389 points."
The Thunderstorm Giant, like a cold machine, repeatedly tested the destructive power of nuclear fission.
Anyway, attacking the metal giant wouldn't have any effect; his strength wasn't even enough to tickle a ten-thousand-meter metal giant.
Why not take this opportunity to test your attack power when you reach level three in the future? It's a good way to collect data in advance.
For each sample of nuclear material of varying weight undergoing fission, Leo had to calculate the optimal fission efficiency, starting with an initial 0.7 grams and gradually increasing to 2.2 grams.
Each gram increase, seemingly involving only a dozen or so experiments, actually involved thousands of calculations by Leo. The same mass required hundreds of experiments, with each experiment yielding a different fission efficiency. What he was trying to find was the optimal range for fission efficiency.
With ample mental and magical power, plenty of time, and the ability to perform repeated calculations and experiments, plus the perfect, unkillable target, there was no better place for him to conduct experiments!
