Chapter 305: The Nuclear Reckoning

Under the continuous barrage of information, all forty Third-Stage personnel dispatched by the Military were left dumbfounded on the spot.

It’s really happening!?

Unbelievable.

Instinctively, the lead Third-Stage tried to snatch the walkie-talkie from Yenir’s grasp, refusing to accept what he saw from the start—it all seemed like a sham!

“Don’t detonate it!”

“You’re ruining everything…!!”

“Buzz—”

Invisible electromagnetic waves raced almost at light speed.

It felt as if the entire world had fallen silent.

The sounds of wind, water, even heartbeats vanished in an instant.

Time seemed to freeze as two red-and-white painted, oval warheads plummeted from the silver-white cockpit into the ocean.

Meanwhile.

Yenir ignored the Third-Stage trying to seize his walkie-talkie and spun around to don his protective goggles, facing the sea head-on.

Behind him, a furious Middle-Aged Man was calmly held back by Liang Lie.

The next second.

It was like a slow-motion film, with thought and consciousness momentarily suspended.

In everyone’s eyes, a brilliant sphere of white erupted violently from the distant horizon.

Like a scorching sun…

Bursting wildly from the darkness!

“Boom!!!!!!!”

“Boom!!!!!!!!!!”

The deafening explosion shook the world amid a blinding flash. Thick, dark clouds were torn apart as a supersonic shockwave whipped up towering waves, surging relentlessly toward the shore.

Two terrifying fireballs exploded with the power to obliterate everything in their path!

The sea roared with fury and towering waves.

When the first impact hit the defensive line, scores of soldiers were knocked down as if caught in a ten-level storm.

The wind howled and the earth trembled.

Ears rang, and minds went blank.

Those restrained by Liang Lie squinted in pain as hot, burning tears streamed uncontrollably.

Even with their Third-Stage resilience, their eyes couldn’t endure the burst of light at nearly 100,000 degrees!

Only after desperately regaining their footing did they realize that the nuclear missiles had indeed been detonated!

At that moment, the massive fireball reflected in everyone’s eyes slowly transformed into a colossal, hundred-meter-tall mushroom cloud.

Trembling, shocked, collapsing.

All the Military’s Third-Stage personnel who rushed in stared in stunned silence at the scene.

None of them had expected Yenir to be so ruthless as to detonate two nuclear missiles near the coast without hesitation!

They didn’t know if any sea beasts lurked beneath; all they understood was that it was all over!

Under the massive radiation fallout, the East Sea was no longer habitable for survivors!

“Yenir!!”

“Are you crazy!!”

They roared in anger, and without sight of any sea beasts, it felt as though the sky itself had fallen.

But before a few could muster their Spirit Energy to forcibly apprehend Yenir, a tremendous roar, like a wailing horn, echoed across the entire sea.

In an instant, movement froze.

The advancing Military Third-Stage personnel were left dumbfounded once again—the roar was clearly not human.

Such a colossal sound could only come from one source…

A Super Sea Beast!

“Prepare for battle—they’re coming in droves.”

The combined power of two nuclear missiles was far too little; against these colossal creatures of the deep, it was hardly enough.

He had prepared everything he could. Now, it all came down to luck.

With his words lingering in the air, everyone stared at Yenir’s retreating figure, their faces etched with disbelief and unspeakable shock.

They had all heard that monstrous roar.

That fearsome bellow—the size and rank of that sea beast were beyond imagination.

For a creature of this magnitude to suddenly appear near the coast, creeping in right under their noses, was a sign too clear to ignore.

They had been…completely mistaken!

….

Three minutes and seventeen seconds later.

As two fighter jets roared back, endless black-blue ‘waves’ filled the horizon and surged in swiftly.

The frontline was eerily silent.

A strange, oppressive atmosphere weighed down on everyone like a massive mountain.

The Military Third-Stage personnel, originally set on capturing Yenir, now silently drew their weapons. Even the normally unflappable Liang Lie showed a rare glimmer of intensity as he stood vigil by Yenir’s side.

Emotions were mixed—shock and disbelief.

Gazing at the lone figure at the forefront, everyone felt an indescribable bitterness rising in their hearts.

They were wrong, the Military was wrong—everyone was wrong!

What was truly laughable wasn’t Yenir or the group following him.

It was their own hubris—refusing to believe that disaster could truly strike.

“wUwUwU!!”

As the sea beasts roared in succession like charging battle horns.

They knew the sea beasts had truly arrived.

Disaster…had truly come.

………………

“Kill!!”

“Hold the line!!”
