Mitia ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍abruptly turned her head toward the Subcontinent on the other side of the ocean，Kate did the same。

Within ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍their vision，all the Elemental Particles within the originally calm Elemental Network seemed to have been pushed and squeezed，forming obvious concave and convex arcs，from a broader perspective they formed a spherical cavity under an external force，and a violent Special Energy erupted from the Subcontinent and swept toward every part of the world。

Kate ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍clung to Mitia’s head as though she wished she could climb right onto the top of it，her little body wriggling upward，her eyes widening as she stared toward the Alliance and exclaimed：“What the fuck！What is that thing！”

“Such ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍strange and powerful Energy，mm，and it also feels so evil。”

Mitia ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍exerted some force to straighten her little body and hoisted her onto her neck：“Here，can you see more clearly like this？”

Kate came back to her senses and lowered her head to look at the top of Mitia’s head，embarrassment and anger appearing in her eyes，her chubby little hands grabbing Mitia’s ears：“What do you mean by this！You’re treating me like a child？！！！”

An innocently foolish smile appeared on Mitia’s face：“No no！Riding on someone’s shoulders is too childish for children，but just right for adults。”

Kate looked suspicious：“Really？”

Mitia nodded furiously：“For real。”

“Forget it，you should tell me what’s going on with this Energy instead，I’ve never encountered anything like it before。”

Mitia said lightly：“Nothing special，just a little toy。”

Ten hours earlier

In front of a stone house on the Gobi Desert，guards in groups of twos and threes stood watch in utter boredom，yet beneath their seemingly lazy movements their eyes were bright and alert。

Three Jeeps drove through the desert and stopped in front of the stone house，more than a dozen soldiers escorted two Ordinary People dressed in white coats toward the guards，the leader tightly held an iron case in his arms，an iron chain firmly locking his hand to the case。

After checking their credentials and exchanging salutes，the group entered the stone house，there were no furnishings whatsoever inside，only a passage extending downward，as well as two soldiers standing by in Heavy Mecha。

As they proceeded deeper along the passage the surroundings became increasingly spacious，along the way there were either various patrolling soldiers or all kinds of Defensive Weapons，and only after reaching the dedicated Assembly Room did everyone finally breathe a sigh of relief。

The leader carefully placed the case on a steel table padded with thick velvet and waited for a moment，an officer entered from outside，while another officer among the group each took out a key and inserted them into the keyholes of the Two-way Shackles，each entering half of the Mechanical Password。

Only after a whole series of preparations were completed did they finally succeed in unlocking it。

Several people in white coats hurriedly drove everyone else outside，changed into full Protective Suits inside the Changing Room，and had several Mages and Nuns apply layer upon layer of Magical Protective Spells to them。

Finally under everyone’s solemn gaze from outside the Glass Room they opened the case，inside lay an utterly ordinary hemispherical iron sphere。

Three hours later

An iron tower more than a hundred meters tall stood alone in the wasteland，a metal sphere roughly one and a half meters in diameter was slowly hoisted to the top of the tower，while seventy kilometers away more than a dozen high-ranking officials whose lowest positions were Alliance Ministerial-level Officials or Major Generals entered the Observation Post and waited nervously。

Inside the Underground Command Post，a group of Scientific Research Experts stared intently at the values on each instrument，constantly making adjustments。

Tina paced back and forth behind them，several times raising her head as though wanting to speak，only to ultimately suppress the thought of making a sound。

After one of the experts finished rechecking the instruments he breathed a sigh of relief and turned toward Tina：“Commander-in-Chief...we’re ready！”

“Mm...”

Tina stepped forward and took the key from the pocket on her chest，inserted it into the keyhole marked Control Console and unlocked the Control Console，the Operator stepped forward and removed the Protective Cover over it，revealing the Control Button inside。

Tina took a deep breath：“Start it...”

The Operator pressed the button and shouted：“Activation complete！”

Various notification sounds continuously rang from the instruments，red lights turned green one after another，white lights lit up one by one，while sixty kilometers away in the Gobi Desert，more than ten thousand fully prepared soldiers had already put on Protective Goggles and were silently waiting。

【10-9-8...4-3-2-1，detonate！】

The distant unmanned tower flashed，an impossibly dazzling light far brighter than the sun burst forth，the surrounding sky instantly dimmed，accompanied by a terrifying thunderous roar，the world seemed to collapse。

The sky turned completely orange-red，the smoke-covered heavens resembled a black abyss，a boundless ring of smoke slowly expanded outward，the forests and mountains instantly became a sea of flames，trees、shrubs、houses and vehicles were flattened against the ground。

At the very center the firelight shone brilliantly，from within it a slowly rising and expanding sphere of light emerged like a newborn sun，proclaiming its arrival ten thousand meters in the sky，transforming into a Mushroom Cloud connecting heaven and earth。

In several distant Alliance States，citizens working and living as usual suddenly felt waves of violent shaking beneath their feet，and could not help looking around in alarm。

“What’s happening？An earthquake？！”

“Could it really be an earthquake？”

Yet amid the earth-shaking explosion，waves of thunderous cheers rose one after another from everywhere，quite a few people looked at the distant Mushroom Cloud and wept with joy。

It was not as though they had never witnessed Magical Bombardments of similar power that resembled the might of a Heavenly God，in fact quite a few among them had even endured an attack from the Goddess of Light head-on，merely escaping death under the Empress’s protection。

Although they had survived，whenever they witnessed that kind of tremendously powerful Magic or Divine Spell，a profound sense of powerlessness would surge from the depths of their hearts。

It was a kind of humility and fear originating from the deepest depths of their souls，although they could stand on equal footing with ordinary Mages，and could even kill Saint-level Powerhouses。

But before Half-Gods and Gods，that overwhelming Heavenly Might practically shattered all their confidence，Equality，before these beings was nothing but a joke。

Yet this explosion filled the heavens with strange and brilliant light，as though displaying its might against the Gods，as though only a thousand suns could compete with its radiance，caused their confidence to swell rapidly just like that continuously expanding Mushroom Cloud。

If the existence of the Empress and the establishment of the Alliance had for the first time given them the confidence to say no to Mages，then this explosion gave them the confidence to say no to Gods！

Because as far as they were concerned，the Gods now had Health Bars。

The high-ranking officials in particular were absolutely delighted，the material used in this detonation contained 5kg of Plutonium-239。

5kg！！！

Most importantly this detonation proved that the information left behind by the Empress was correct，her idea was right，and the power generated by the detonation also roughly matched the concept proposed by the Empress。

And within the information left behind by the Empress，Plutonium-239 was not the only Special Material，there were other different materials afterward capable of producing even greater explosive power。
