Chapter 436: Global Shock



"What? They plan on deploying a superweapon?"

"How dare they be so reckless?"

Soon the news spread to neighboring cities around Immortal Origin County and eventually across the globe. The people were taken aback.

"Quick! We must leave the city!"

"Hurry! Get away from Immortal Origin County!"

Soon after, the cities surrounding Immortal Origin County were thrown into total chaos as people started to flee.

Initially, because these cities were close to Immortal Origin County, they thrived in recent times; many people chose to reside there.

When the forces from the Immortal and Heavenly Worlds attacked Qingyun Building, some people fled fearing they would be caught up in the crossfire. However, many stayed, hoping to get closer to Immortal Origin County and the godlike personalities there. The thrill of such company was far more tempting than the game Future Storm ever depicted.

Immortal Affinity?

Two tigers fighting, both severely wounded, and finally a great fortune falls upon them?

Everyone harbors the fantasy of being the protagonist.

Because of varying reasons, many people had come to cities around Immortal Origin County. Some even stayed near the place where Qingyun Building was attacked...

Now, when the news came, some hurried away in fear, while others chose not to believe it.

"These are god-like beings, why would they attack us mortals..."

"They posses overwhelming powers, why would they need to use our ordinary superweapons..."

"Those weapons could bring about mass destruction, how dare they? Don't they fear the repercussion of killing too many and incurring karma?"

"It must be Qingyun Company trying to instill fear with their exaggeration..."

Those people dismissed the warning with a shake of their heads.

However, reality soon forced those in disbelief to accept the frightening truth.

"Boom!"

A series of apocalyptic forces were manifesting in the sky.

"Zap - zap - zap."

Within the Qingyun Building, the air defense system was activated and began intercepting the superweapons. But the power of each weapon exploding in the sky still brought the feeling of doomsday.

The defense level of Qingyun Building was quite high. Because of its interception, the superweapons were shot down as soon as they entered the atmosphere.

Therefore, those explosions were not above Immortal Origin County or its surroundings, but all over the world.

If it weren't for Xia Qingqing and her team's operation, which launched a purifying wave to cleanse the radiation as the air defense intercepted the weapons, the end of the world would have already descended all over the world.

"No good, at this rate we cannot hit Qingyun Company's location..."

"Is this the defensive power of earth's technology? It's truly miraculous! If we bring such technology back to the Immortal World, the Heavenly Realm..."

"The technological power in other areas of earth is too weak; only the technological power of Qingyun Company is worth a look. We will take only the best. We must take control of Qingyun Company..."

The leaders from the Immortal and Heavenly Worlds' major factions watched in awe and began to share their thoughts.

As Xia Qingqing and her team had predicted, the others soon decided to carry the superweapons and attack Qingyun Building directly and personally.

They had long debated this process.

After all, these weren't ordinary weapons. They were superweapons that could bring about the apocalypse. The fact that they were personally deploying them made their hearts beat furiously.

If by chance, the weapon exploded while they were transporting it; their strong abilities might not be able to withstand the blast.

Whooosh.

A few hours later, a shadow appeared and then quickly disappeared from the vicinity of Qingyun Building in Immortal Origin County.

"Boom!"

Almost at the same time, the sound of a catastrophic explosion rang out. A huge crater appeared and a massive suffocating mushroom cloud rose into the sky.

The first superweapon exploded outside Qingyun Building.

Although several hours had allowed many people to evacuate the area, the local population was too large.

The area's recent development had significantly improved the local transportation but evacuating such a large population wasn't a simple task.

Furthermore, the impact range of the superweapon was extensive. In an instant, hundreds of thousands of people were affected; countless dismembered limbs flew towards the high sky, turning into a rain of blood.

For a moment, it was as if hell had descended there.

Fortunately, only a significant direction was affected, the protective bubble of Qingyun Building blocked the other directions, so they were hardly impacted.

Otherwise, both the affected area and the population would have multiplied several folds.

"Wham! Wham!"

The powerful force broke through the protective barriers surrounding Qingyun Building.

"What!"

Looking at the scene unfolding, the hearts of those from the Immortal and Heavenly Worlds trembled, and they inhaled sharply.

Although they had once allowed a kingdom to test a superweapon in a desert, its power wasn't that great. Also, since it took place in the desert, many among them hadn't witnessed its power directly.

Earlier, as superweapons exploded in the sky, they weren't in close vicinity.

But now, witnessing a superweapon detonating right in their proximity and seeing first-hand the impact of such an explosion, they were truly taken aback.

Was this the power of technology?

Hundreds of thousands of people and countless buildings instantly reduced to ashes.

This power was far too terrifying.

In this world, many only knew of the potent power of superweapons, very few had witnessed the wrath of a superweapon. At this moment, they too were witnessing it.

Qingyun Company's technology captured the global visual.

Everyone was stupefied.

It was a living hell on earth.

At this moment, everyone's hearts were trembling.

"Is this our superweapon?"

"It's over... It's all over..."

All over the world, those in higher positions murmured as they watched the scene unfold.

The superweapons were highly destructive. If released without restraint, the destruction would be worldwide, not just confined to a single area.

At that moment, regret filled many hearts.

If they knew this would happen, they would have never developed such weapons.

Now, it felt like they had shot themselves in the foot.

"Elder Lee, you should go next..."

Among the forces of the Immortal and Heavenly Realms, a man spoke to one of their own.

They initially planned, after the success of the first explosion, to let several of them go together and detonate multiple superweapons simultaneously. But now it seemed like taking turns was a better choice.

The destructive power of these superweapons was far beyond their expectations. If one detonation could bring about such destruction, simultaneous detonations of multiple superweapons might be harder to control.

"Fine," a middle-aged man nodded.

The next moment, his figure vanished into thin air, teleporting towards Qingyun Building.

The power of the explosion just now only shocked him for a moment.

It didn't deter him from his plan.

The deaths of hundreds of thousands of mortals didn't faze him.

He too was originally from Earth before moving to the Immortal World.

However, that was several hundreds of years ago.

As per his knowledge, in mundane times, weren't millions or even tens of millions of people killed during massive warfare?

A plague, a flood, a famine could easily claim hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of lives.

Now, with Earth's population so large, what did these petty deaths imply?

After several hundreds of years had passed, all his family and friends had died and Earth had no more significance to him.

"Boom!"

Along with this middle-aged man's departure, the second mushroom cloud quickly rose, causing another global shock.
