Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 328 Yellowstone Supervolcano Eruption
The Pentagon, underground military intelligence room.

The usually quiet military intelligence room was now in chaos. Intelligence officers, with sweat all over their faces, kept locking onto the scene of the explosion via satellite as Crawford roared.

"Satellite S-L03 detected that the target appeared kilometers away. The heat source phenomenon showed that the target was not damaged, and the energy index was reduced by about one th." An intelligence officer said the worst case scenario with a pale face.

"How is this possible?!" Crawford grabbed the railing in shock, his body swaying unstoppably and it seemed that he might fall down at any time.

CIA Director Kane smiled bleakly: "It seems to be the situation I fear the most."

Crawford immediately grabbed Kane's shoulders and shook him: "Do you know what's going on? Damn it, why didn't that damn beast die? Could he have split himself? That must be fake, it must be fake, how could he escape so many nuclear weapons, unless he could teleport."

Halfway through his speech, Crawford gradually stopped and his face turned extremely pale.

Kane said hoarsely, "According to the information we have collected, the seventh-level spell of the Conjuration Department should be enough to allow the dragon to teleport at a distance of 100 kilometers. However, he has never demonstrated such ability before, so we are not sure whether he can..."

"This is your negligence!!!" Crawford knocked Kane down with one punch, and roared with bloodshot eyes: "Because of your negligence, the Dwarf Staff Project has completely failed! Tens of thousands of American soldiers and hundreds of billions of high-tech weapons have all been reduced to ashes!!"

Kane smiled bitterly and did not defend himself. In this situation, who can be sure of the other party's abilities?

In fact, even the seventh-level spell that could teleport a dragon hundreds of kilometers was just Kane's guess. The spell information in the rule book was simply child's play compared to the range of the dragon's spell, and he just increased it by the same proportion to guess the possibility of the teleportation spell escaping the nuclear explosion.

However, Kane also understood that after suffering such a heavy blow, but not getting the expected outcome, the people above must find someone to take responsibility.

And he was the first to bear the brunt.

Crawford was about to continue beating him, but was stopped by an anxious voice from downstairs: "General! There is a red level emergency, please come here immediately!"

The old admiral's pupils shrank and he felt uneasy. It was the Pentagon's red alert. This was an alert that had never appeared before and was only set up to prepare for various national disasters.

Now it has come true...

What exactly happened? Did the dragon really explode the volcano?
He went downstairs immediately, and as soon as he arrived he heard a loud, terrified cry.

"The crustal stress index has exceeded the critical value!" Geologist Howard smashed the protective glass and pressed the full-band alarm with his bare hands. The shock waves of the twelve nuclear bombs were transmitted along the lithosphere and focused on the mantle plume of the Yellowstone volcano. The needle of the magma chamber pressure gauge jumped from yellow to blood red in thirty seconds.

The ground tremors arrived before the sound waves. Soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division saw the horizon undulating—not in the form of waves, but rather the entire grassland being lifted up like a carpet by an invisible giant hand.

The dragon did not ignite the volcano, but the damage to the geological structure caused by the twelve nuclear weapons awakened the already active Yellowstone volcano.

"Oh my God, what have we done..." the field commander muttered. Before he finished speaking, the first column of magma broke through the surface, high enough to lick the bottom of the stratosphere.

Four hundred billion tons of rock were thrown into the air, and volcanic ash and nuclear dust mixed into a cloud wall like asphalt. The dragon stretched out his body in the boiling magma rain. He looked at the earth with pity. He did not have time to arrange the rune array in advance. The volcanic ash might not be contained as planned, not to mention the impact of the 12 nuclear weapons.

I'm afraid the entire Wyoming will become a forbidden zone for life in the future.

Sure enough, they are still the most ruthless to themselves.
Nemesis sighed, but he had no sympathy for the world. He had intended to control the eruption, but he was no match for the U.S. military's own actions.

Want to kill him, and expect him to be the savior? Not to mention that he is currently incapable of preventing this sudden outbreak.

The eruption of the Yellowstone volcano is not a small-scale explosion like nuclear weapons. The energy of the last eruption of the Yellowstone volcano was almost equivalent to 900 billion tons of nuclear weapons, and this is not a full-scale eruption. I am afraid that Nemesis can only be promoted to a legendary level and use legendary spells amplified by the power gem to contain the Yellowstone volcano at this time.

Of course, in order to ensure that the earth is not destroyed, Nemesis will not allow the volcanic ash from the eruption of Yellowstone volcano to radiate the entire earth.

He couldn't stop the Yellowstone volcano, but the volcanic ash was nothing to him.

An hour later, the news of the Yellowstone supervolcano eruption was known to the whole United States.

The CNN special reporting team and reporters from major TV stations came to Wyoming by helicopter and witnessed this scene that looked like a natural disaster.

"Dear viewers, I am now on Highway 20 on the west side of Teton County. This place has completely turned into a lava hell!" CNN reporter Kate Miller, wearing a gas mask and speaking in a hoarse voice, sat in a helicopter and turned the camera to the rear. The dark red lava flow was devouring the forest, and a century-old spruce tree was carbonized in front of the camera.

"The pyroclastic flow that suddenly erupted three hours ago has flattened the town of Jackson. We just received news that the last distress signal before communications in the entire Teton County were cut off was... the collective prayer coming from the elementary school gymnasium." He said with a choked voice.

The frontline reporter's words caused chaos in the live studio of CNN Radio Headquarters. Richard Burns, a geologist invited by the radio station, tore off his tie and said: "This is definitely not a natural eruption! The monitoring station data shows that the temperature of the crater soared from 87°C to 3200°C ten minutes before the eruption, as if someone threw a hydrogen bomb into the magma chamber!"

The TV station's big screen switched to satellite thermal imaging, and a strange geometric heat source appeared under the park. "Look at this hexagonal structure. The military must explain why it is related to the one that appeared in Nevada some time ago."

Before he could finish his words, the heads of major TV stations across the United States had already received news from the government. The signal suddenly stopped and the screen jumped to an emergency broadcast from the White House: "Hello everyone, I am President Reagan. Due to unknown reasons, the Yellowstone volcano has entered an active stage. From now on, I declare that the country has entered."

In 1983, the earth's technology did not have developed Internet and self-media, but the Yellowstone supervolcano eruption still appeared on the tables of leaders of various countries at the first time, and remote meetings were initiated through the Internet and telephone to discuss how to resolve the incident.

The eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano is not an ordinary disaster. With the current technology of mankind, it is difficult to prevent the spread of volcanic ash. Given the size of the Yellowstone supervolcano, it is inevitable that volcanic ash will cover North America. If the eruption continues, it is likely to cover the entire world, causing a doomsday event similar to a nuclear winter.

In fact, within just one hour of the volcanic eruption, most of Wyoming's highways had turned into lava rivers. Hospitals that were still operating at the Wyoming border received tens of thousands of patients with respiratory burns. The helicopters sent by the National Guard for rescue all crashed in the haze. Satellite cloud images showed that volcanic ash had covered three states.

Just when everyone was in chaos, Nemesis had sneaked into the erupting volcano.

Magma is an irresistible threat to humans, but for the Scroll Dragon, it can be solved with the [Energy Immunity] ability.
