Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 664 638: Clouds Surging

The atmosphere was growing increasingly tense. As Chen Shouyi approached the passage, the soldiers had already begun setting up the nuclear bombs.

As the nuclear landmines, each the size of a barrel, were carefully lifted from sealed special vehicles by the soldiers and buried in the ground, even Chen Shouyi felt a chill run down his spine, his heart pounding.

This was undoubtedly the most terrifying minefield in the world; once detonated, everything within several kilometers would likely be vaporized.

"It seems that even if I'm not here, this place is temporarily safe enough," Chen Shouyi thought to himself.

When one's strength reaches a certain level, they have an almost predictive intuition about danger. With these nuclear landmines here, the Lord of Lightning wouldn't dare to step in.

Although access here was already forbidden, he still left the passage smoothly after showing his credentials.

It wasn't long before he entered another spatial passage.

This was an endless grassland, speckled with scattered trees. In the distance, herds of animals could be seen leisurely grazing. The environment here was neither advantageous nor disadvantageous for battle.

Chen Shouyi quickly flew into the sky, familiarizing himself with the surrounding terrain.

He had only one chance.

If he missed, he would only be able to flee.

If lucky, he could escape with his life.

If unlucky, well, then it's the end of the road, letting fate decide.

To the west, more than ten kilometers away, there's a big river. Hmm, it could serve as a backup escape plan.

To the north, two hundred kilometers away, there's also a bottomless chasm. The entire chasm seems to divide the continent, almost reaching no end, only it's a bit too far.

...

Countless pieces of information flashed through his mind.

He then descended from the high altitude, exhaling a sigh. Thinking about escape before even fighting was an ominous sign.

The grassland was full of wildflowers; the two little fellows became lively as soon as they got here, energetically gathering nectar, carefree. Watching the two little ones, his heart gradually calmed down.

"In the end, who will win is still unknown!"

...

East Sea.

Endless dark clouds spread like a black curtain, beginning to stretch over the distant continent.

In just a day or two, the Rising Sun Country had already fallen, completely losing its power to resist. Facing this unseen enemy, Rising Sun Country was utterly powerless. From beginning to end, the true body of the Lord of Lightning was never seen, only endless dark clouds.

"Quick, quick, launch!"

A gigantic missile erupted from the missile silo, its tail spewing scorching flames as it rapidly flew towards the clouds. Within half an hour, it violently exploded with a blinding glow.

Under the hundreds of millions of degrees from the hydrogen bomb explosion, all material was transformed into high-energy particles, with massive clouds seemingly wiped away instantly, puncturing a hole dozens of kilometers in diameter.

No creature could survive such an attack, not even a True God with powerful divine power. Facing such a sky-wrath-like strike, it would be instantly vaporized, without any struggle.

Unfortunately, no matter how powerful, it still had to hit the target to be effective.

The cloud paused for a few seconds, then dodged the void and continued pressing forward. A few minutes later, even the void was repaired.

However, this was just the beginning.

Missiles soared from various coastal areas, exploding amidst the clouds. Anyone witnessing this apocalypse-like scene would shiver all over. When a nuclear-armed nation goes all out, even gods and demons tremble before it.

Nobody spared a thought for whether Earth would face nuclear winter in the future because if humanity was defeated, humans wouldn't have to worry about such matters anymore.

The clouds were pierced by a massive net full of holes from the numerous nuclear bombs, its advancement slowing. Each glow of a nuclear bomb drained its divine power, yet, that was all.

The clouds kept advancing, unwavering.

Tens of billions of believers, half a year of rigorous preparation allowed the Lord of Lightning to amass terrifying power. Nothing could stop it, not even equally powerful divine forces.

...

Chen Shouyi stood amidst the ruins, watching missiles soar into the sky and the auroras dancing like ribbons at the horizon, his gaze solemn. He could clearly feel the chaotic magnetic field in the distance.

The wind was getting stronger.

Though it was still the blazing afternoon sun, it felt like dusk was approaching.

After watching for a while, he returned to the alternate world, continuing to train as usual, only unable to suppress his frequent urge to urinate, relieving himself five or six times. When he stepped out of the alternate world again, he found the outside world remained unchanged.

"Damn it, why is it so slow? Just come if you're coming." Chen Shouyi was feeling uneasy, like during high school when awaiting exam results while the teacher announced scores from the podium, that excruciating wait for judgment.

Chen Shouyi returned to the alternate world again.

He opened the attribute panel, looking at the faith value that had reached 1550.3.

He hesitated for a moment, finally adding a thousand faith points to Self-Healing.

He had long noticed that the progress of each talent ability diminishes with more points added, but increasing a thousand faith points on Giant Battle Body wouldn't show much change, whereas on Self-Healing, the improvement was noticeable.

"Hopefully, it will be of some use."

He stood up, "Red Little Spot, Green Little Spot, come here quickly."

The two little ones playing among the flowers swiftly flew over, landing silently on Chen Shouyi's shoulder.

"Good giant, what's the matter?" Shell Lady asked.

"Yeah, yeah," the second Little Spot echoed.

"When I tell you to run later, you both should run as fast as you can, as far as possible," Chen Shouyi said seriously.

"Good giant, are you going to fight the bad giant again?" Shell Lady asked worriedly.

Seeing Chen Shouyi nod, Shell Lady wrinkled her brows, softly asked, "Do you need Little Spot's help?"

Chen Shouyi's mouth twitched, thinking, "Isn't that a polite refusal?"

As if you could help, not getting in the way is already helping,

"No need," Chen Shouyi replied, speechless.

"Alright, Little Spot will cheer for you then."

"I will also cheer for the good giant," the second Little Spot quickly added.

"That's good, you're both good little points."

...

It was already early morning on Earth. The clouds gradually obscured the moonlight, and the world turned completely dark.

In the distance, barely audible thunderous roars echoed, a faint oppressive aura spreading.

Chen Shouyi sat on the ruins, constantly consuming the meat paste of powerful divine power.

The two little spots didn't dare sleep, standing on Chen Shouyi's shoulders, eyes wide, like two human radars, nervously staring at the sky,

Time ticked by, second by second.

More clouds gathered.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, crashing to the ground, illuminating the world.

The two little ones trembled in fright.

Chen Shouyi stood up, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "You two, run away quickly."

"Okay!"

"Okay!"

The pair fled into the spatial passage, without a moment's delay, continuing to fly rapidly into the distance.
