A new sun suddenly rose in the dark sky, its scorching light shining on everyone's face.
Then there is no more.
Light travels faster than sound, so there is no explosion.
Whether it's skyscrapers or forest buildings, all creations of heaven and earth, and human creations, are instantly vaporized by extreme light and then assimilated into plasma.
The hastily opened "Takamagahara" was evaporated before it could even appear, along with a massive amount of seawater that was heated to plasma and reacted with the seawater again, causing the seawater to boil instantly.
Only after everything had melted away did the shockwave from the explosion echo in everyone's ears, creating a new wave on the sea.
But in a place where everything has been vaporized, including buildings, land, and seawater, no one can hear anything.
last of the last.
The violent explosion churned up a mushroom cloud that tore through the clouds before rising across the entire sea surface.
It proclaims to the whole world that a celestial being has descended upon this world.
"don't want!!"
Brigadier General Jack suddenly woke up from his dream.
He had a nightmare in which the entire island nation, along with his fleet which he was slacking off as usual, was swallowed up by the sun.
My first thought was: Why didn't you call me when you dropped the hydrogen bomb?
My second reaction was: Holy crap! Run!
My third thought was: It seems like I don't need to run.
Then he woke up.
Fortunately, it was just a dream.
Wait... if it's just a dream, why am I on a warship?
Jack scrambled to his feet and saw that the entire cabin was filled with unconscious people.
Swallowing hard, Jack scrambled to the observation room before he could even wake the others.
Through observation mirrors and satellite images.
He saw the island's curves stretching endlessly, seemingly without end in the telescope.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, it was just a dream.
Jack had just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly froze, his pupils dilating to their maximum size, fear once again overwhelming his regained senses.
Looking at the satellite image again, Jack was stunned once more.
I wasn't mistaken; it's exactly the same as the view through the observation mirror.
The island's "curve" has a "breakpoint," and a large group of people still asleep have piled up into a dense hill next to the "breakpoint."
But Jack didn't believe that the natural disaster that had just struck, which seemed like divine punishment, was really just to "melt down" the island nation.
That's right! Circuit breaker activated.
In satellite images and observation mirrors, Hiroshima appears to be bisected horizontally across the entire island, as if the island nation is being melted down.
Naturally, the names "Matsuyama" and "Kochi" on that line were also neatly evaporated along with the entire city of Hiroshima.
Between the islands that have been split in two, stretching for tens of kilometers like a deep trench that has been instantly melted, the seawater that was evaporated in large quantities in both the dream and reality has created a "gap," and the seawater is now rushing into the gap.
What a horrifying scene that was!
The entire island nation was split in two by a trench formed by the complete evaporation of the cities of Hiroshima, Kochi, and Matsuyama, along with their buildings and land.
The edges of the two sides of the island nation, which have been divided in two, are neat and sharp, as if they had been cut by a sword.
Seeing such a terrifying scene.
Jack seemed to be deep in thought.
It's a pity that Nagasaki wasn't included.
Jack quickly realized what was happening.
Something terrible has happened!
Zhao Fangxu, who was already dreaming of retirement, suddenly sneezed and rubbed his nose.
"Why do I have a bad feeling?"
[A Failure's Diary: Originally, there wasn't a second half, but I was afraid the book would be lost.]
[There are always online moralists criticizing the indiscriminate killing of innocent people, it's strange, why are they so strict about writing a novel.]
Chapter 210: As the leader of the extraordinary people, he should naturally be elegant and refined.
"I'm stupid, really."
In the noisy meeting room, Zhao Fangxu muttered to himself with a blank look in his eyes.
"I knew that someone outside the Great Wall was stirring up trouble in secret, but I never expected it would involve the island nation."
"I should have known that Lu Xuan's actions would never be small-scale. I didn't expect him to be so restrained. The commotion he caused abroad was quite significant."
Zhao Fangxu lowered his eyes and looked at the documents laid out in front of him.
"The remaining members of the Higanbana ninja have been wiped out, and the new generation of demons they secretly cultivated—Harada Yusuke, Genon, Shunpo, and Raishin—have all perished..."
"The Fish-Dragon Society was nearly wiped out; its leader, Ishikawa Shin, died on the spot; and the 'Ishikawa School' was destroyed..."
"The 'Takamagahara,' a project secretly created by the island nation's government in collaboration with Onmyoji (yin-yang masters), has been destroyed. The plan to create eight million gods, along with all research data, personnel, and achievements, has been completely wiped out..."
"Ninety percent of the supernatural families and major schools in the island nation's supernatural community have died out. Now, only a few survivors remain in the entire island nation's supernatural community, and they have been incorporated into the government..."
Upon reading this, Zhao Fangxu paused, raising an eyebrow.
Did the island nation complete the transformation of the supernatural world ahead of schedule?
Inside Na Du Tong, there were actually some complaints about the company's rapid transformation and its one-sided attitude towards Lu Xuan.
It is said that Lu Xuan's actions are too ruthless, completely "cutting off" the world of supernatural beings.
But now, the island nation has truly been sliced open by a single sword.
The island nation's community of supernatural beings is already limited by its small size, and now more than half of them have died. The remaining people have been forcibly incorporated into the government.
With this single stroke, the island nation's transformation was even faster than the domestic community of supernatural beings completing the construction of a modern supernatural society.
Zhao Fangxu chuckled to himself, shook his head, and continued reading.
"The three city lines of Hiroshima, Matsuyama, and Kochi were completely wiped out, resulting in countless deaths and injuries among non-Hiroshima residents and extreme right-wing groups, and direct losses of trillions of dollars..."
That's good news.
The island nation has now been cleaved in two by Lu Xuan's sword.
It is said that the half that was cut off is now moving further and further away from the island nation due to the influx of seawater, and is already causing trouble for independence, fueled by some "enthusiastic masses".
Unfortunately, the follow-up is now a matter for the authorities to handle...
Even though Nadutong Company has transformed and reformed into a state-owned enterprise, it is only responsible for internal affairs within the world of supernatural beings.
Just like now...
Zhao Fangxu raised his head and looked at the surrounding tiered hall in the virtual space in front of him, where various national groups sat cross-legged around the main seat of Na Du Tong.
This was a virtual meeting held in the deepest part of the dark web, bringing together almost all the international supernatural groups.
Behemoth, the Emerald Society, Flammel Institute, the House of Strange People, the Children of the Earth...
All the extraordinary groups from various countries have gathered here.
We must condemn the actions of "Na Du Tong Company instigating superhumans to disrupt international order and attack island nations" from the perspective of "promoting harmonious coexistence among superhumans".
Superhuman groups have always relied on the government for their existence, and the conflicts between these groups are actually clashes between nations.
It's really laughable that they're suddenly holding a meeting now, acting as if they want to condemn the All-Knowing Company in accordance with the rules of the supernatural world!
"Chairman Zhao, I have a feeling they've come with ill intentions!"
Beside Zhao Fangxu, Erzhuang, unseen by anyone, quietly floated in mid-air.
As one of the builders of the virtual meeting, Erzhuang can at least perform basic monitoring.
“Erzhuang! Even the extraordinary people are not barbarians. In particular, when it comes to communication in international affairs, one should naturally be humble and rigorous.”
"Could a fight really break out?"
Zhao Fangxu shook his head, looking every bit the expert.
As is well known, this applies to meetings and platforms for handling international relations affairs.
As the heads of various organizations, they naturally possess a rigorous and solemn demeanor; as the leaders of various forces, they adhere to the rules and their words reveal a grand and dignified style...
"Fuck you! Zhao, your Nadutong Company must take responsibility for this."
Across from them, one of Behemoth's managers grabbed an ashtray from the table and threw it at them.
Don't ask him why he's so angry; the major financial groups behind Behemoth overlap with the military's financial groups.
There happened to be a military base of an island nation on the "line" that Lu Xuan cut with his sword.
Do you even know how much a base is worth?
Although I could report a loss of one trillion by falsifying accounts, that's all our money, our money!
And those soldiers who died also had to pay compensation.
Seeing the ashtray coming towards him, Zhao Fangxu smiled contemptuously.
Zhao Fangxu, having some training, deftly dodged the attack by slightly shifting his body.
Although it was a virtual meeting room, the scenes of each party's office were directly integrated into the meeting room.
However, ashtrays are also part of the model, and if they are hit, the model will be affected.
Don't ask why a virtual meeting space needs to be made so realistic; it's to compensate for the lack of real-life duels in virtual spaces.
That's right! They're just that bored.
*Thud!* The ashtray hit the representative of the Fish and Dragon Society behind Zhao Fangxu, who dared not utter a word.
