Rumble!
The earth trembled and shook violently.
The incandescent pillar of light enveloped the entire Imperial City. When the pillar of light dissipated, all that was left was a huge mushroom cloud that rose into the sky and a cloud of smoke that covered the sun. The once flourishing Imperial City that countless citizens of the Imperial Capital felt extremely glorious when they visited had been razed to the ground under the cloud of dust. All that was left was scorched earth, like a bloody wound that had been torn open in the earth. Smoke and blood were rising from the wound.
Vibration!
Violent vibration!
Dean could feel that all the soil above and around his head was contracting and trembling. It was like a frightened animal was shrinking its pores.
In addition, the blazing heat swept over from all directions, completely filling and enveloping his senses. It was as if he was bathed in a pool of boiling hot blood. At this moment, he felt so insignificant. Compared to the entire earth, he was like a mosquito on a human body, or not even a mosquito, but a tiny bacterium!
The Mechanical Heart in his chest was operating at full speed. He could almost hear the buzzing sound of the Mechanical Heart. The tissues outside his body were frantically splitting and reassembling, spewing out blazing flames that mixed with the temperature of the outside world. He did not create ice to weaken this terrifying temperature. Otherwise, the constantly melting ice would turn into steam, and even Neuss and the others would be cooked.
On the contrary, he used low-temperature flames to gradually resist the terrifying temperature of the nuclear explosion.
He mechanically created new bodies to resist the high temperature. He didn't know how much time had passed but the temperature gradually decreased. At the same time, Dean felt that Goddess Wa had taken them to a very deep place in the ground. They were far away from the center of the nuclear explosion.
Dean asked Wa to take them to another place after the situation gradually calmed down.
Whoosh!
The lotus leaf-like tentacle of Goddess Wa wrapped around Dean, Neuss and the others. It moved forward rapidly and appeared in a rock formation hundreds of miles away from the ground.
A scorching wind blew as they came to the surface. Neuss and others who were under Dean's shelter felt as if they were inhaling flames. They coughed violently.
Dean looked at the green space outside the imperial city from the distance. But at the moment it was scorched earth.
His vision shifted to the nuclear explosion area. The high temperature in the air became distorted.
The entire Imperial City had disappeared, leaving behind only a piece of scorched earth that had not grown a single blade of grass for decades!
Dean was startled. Even he was surprised by the Demon Emperor's generosity. He felt that he was too narrow-minded. If he was a bit bigger then he might be able to think of this point.
However, he knew the potential of God of Wa. So he didn't panic when he found the missiles buried in the city. The explosion of the nuclear bomb wasn't much of a threat to him. But it was a pity for the imperial city.
This was the lair of the Demon Emperor. No one knew how many secrets of the Wildness God were buried here. But now they were all gone along with the people of the city.
"Are you okay?" Dean looked at God of Wa who was still in the lotus shape.
Hearing this, Goddess Wa retracted a few lotus leaves and revealed a huge snow-white face. She said obediently, "I'm fine. It's a pity that this thing exploded too fast. If it were a little slower, I would have absorbed and eaten it all. It must be delicious."
Dean was stunned. Swallowing the nuclear bomb?
He thought about it carefully. He felt that what God of Wa said wasn't completely impossible. As long as the speed of energy absorption could catch up with the speed of the explosion then they could synchronize the conversion.
But it was difficult. It was impossible for him. After all the mechanical heart had its limits. But God of Wa was a true god. She had infinite potential. Perhaps she could do it if she practiced more.
"God is a terrible thing …" Dean was surprised. He turned around and used his x-ray vision to check the situation. He found that only two of Aurora's cronies were far away. They didn't have enough time to reach God of Wa. The rest of the people were basically fine. They just had some burns.
"The entire imperial city is gone."
"Oh my god."
"Teacher, is this the work of the Demon Emperor who ruled the giant wall?"
Neuss and the others looked around and saw the mountains and forests in the distance. They vaguely recognized where they were and were shocked. The imperial city had left a deep impression on them. It was gorgeous, majestic, and magnificent. But now, there was nothing left except for the scorched earth. Such a move was simply destructive!
Dean nodded. He felt that there was a trace of strangeness. It seemed that he had overlooked something.
"Using tens of millions of people in the Imperial City to accompany me in death. Although this Demon Emperor's actions were generous and fitting of his identity, his actions before his death were a little strange." Dean recalled the previous events. The Demon Emperor's performance was slightly impetuous. He didn't have the calm demeanor of a strategist. Of course, it might be because he was forced into a desperate situation and exposed his camouflage nature.
Many people were calm because they didn't have the strength to do so.
But the strange thing was that with this Demon Emperor's personality, there was no way that she would stay here and wait for death, perishing together with him.
After all, even if nuclear bombs could scare him off this time, what about the second time?
It wasn't a long-term solution. If he was the Demon Emperor then he would never use such a stupid means to save his life.
The Demon Emperor didn't admit defeat during the negotiation. He was so tough but his final means was to die together. This feeling … It was as if he didn't plan to live and was ready to detonate the nuclear bomb.
If that was the case then why did he say those meaningless words to expose his thoughts? If the nuclear bomb exploded without warning then the damage to him would be more serious and he might even be killed!
Dean woke up as he thought about all kinds of strange things. Maybe the self-destructing 'Demon Emperor' was just a recording or a stand-in!
The real Demon Emperor wasn't dead yet!
He looked up and swept around. His perception swept out and covered the nearby mountains and forests. If the Demon Emperor wasn't dead then he would pay attention to the situation here.
His perception domain expanded to the extreme and locked all the animals within hundreds of miles. But he didn't sense the aura of the Demon Emperor.
"What a cautious fellow. Has he already left? He even erased his scent." Dean's eyes lit up as he retracted his perception network. In any case he was 100% sure that the Demon Emperor wasn't dead.
Since he wasn't dead then he must be hiding in the dark to continue his plan.
"All the concubines in the imperial city are Aragami. It seems that the Demon Emperor isn't the only one in the Aragami family. There must be a mother seed to continue the future generations!" Dean's eyes lit up as he pondered for a moment. He temporarily suppressed the investigation of the Devil Emperor. The latter was hiding in the dark and had extraordinary wisdom. It was almost impossible to find him. It was better to finish his own business first.
Now the Demon Emperor had retreated and the Imperial Capital had almost fallen into his hands. The world of the earth was almost in his hands.
"I'll train a group of kings in my spare time after I find Aisha. I don't believe that I can't find the trace of the Demon Emperor!" Dean didn't care even if he couldn't find the Demon Emperor. After all it was almost impossible to assassinate the Demon Emperor with his current identity. Even if the Demon Emperor used the power of science and technology to launch long-range weapons like intercontinental missiles to attack the area where he was located it wouldn't be able to hurt him.
He just needed to enjoy the fruits of his victory. He would send people to track down the Demon Emperor and make the latter a stray dog hiding in the shadows until it was unbearable.
He felt the trace of unhappiness in his heart dissipate. He turned around and left with Neuss, God of Wa and the others to recover the entire Imperial Capital!
…
He wanted to finish at the end of the month and take a week off next month to start a new book. But it seemed that he couldn't rest …
