At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier.

Chapter 84 That attack reached the level of a nuclear bomb.

The crimson beam of light enveloped all the beast-like hounds that had already broken through the sea of ​​fire, leaving only blurry afterimages within the beam.

boom--

The beam of light struck the forest, the deafening roar like a meteor crashing to the ground. In that instant, the air expanded and distorted, and a visible white shockwave spread from the point where the beam of light touched the ground, creating a powerful heat flow.

Centered on the point where the beam of light touched the ground, the trees that were already burning on the ground were uprooted by the shockwave and thrown more than 300 meters away. Not only that, but even the soil and rocks were dug out by the elemental force.

This scene is like a calm lake being rippled by a large stone thrown into it.

The heatwave from the fire element caused the surrounding drones to lose their balance and spin in mid-air. Some drones were smashed by rubble, and even armed helicopters that were further away were violently shaken in mid-air and pushed hundreds of meters by the heatwave.

"Aaaaaah..." The armed helicopter pilot gripped the control stick tightly and couldn't help but scream. The images reflected in his eyes involuntarily brought to mind the nuclear explosions in documentaries.

"Hold on! Hold on!" shouted the commander in the co-pilot's seat. He was drenched in cold sweat. Luckily, he stopped the helicopter from getting any closer, or it would have crashed.

"This is incredible! What a terrifying torrent of elemental power!" Yu Chengyue gripped the edge of the helicopter window, leaned out and stared intently at the slowly disappearing pillar of light ahead, his eyes filled with fervor.

As a martial arts master who had already "entered the Dao", he understood better than anyone how terrifying the elemental power in front of him was. Even if he used all the elemental power in his body at once, he could at most create a small pit on the ground with a diameter of five meters and a depth of half a meter.

"Aaaaaah!" A nearby combatant screamed while gripping the safety handle, yelling as he stared at the energy meter in his hand, "It exploded! It exploded! The meter has exceeded its limit! That's a nuclear-level attack!"

The energy measuring instrument is specifically designed to detect energies that are different from electrical and nuclear energy, such as elemental force and bioenergy within the Devouring Beast.

This was specifically designed for the precise measurement of the threat posed by combat targets.

Whether it's elemental power or the bio-energy within the Devouring Beast, it's essentially energy. As long as it's energy, it can be measured.

The Academy of Military Sciences has not been idle this year; all the equipment of the combat troops has now been upgraded.

"Is it a nuclear-level attack?" Yu Chengyue turned his head and stared wide-eyed.

“Currently, our combat team has only been allocated measuring instruments capable of measuring 10,000 points. An energy index exceeding 10,000 points is already at the nuclear bomb level.” The combatant’s face was also full of fear and disbelief.

The energy of a single point measured by the measuring instrument is equivalent to one ton of TNT.

The measuring instrument isn't that it doesn't want to make larger indices, it's just that it's already good enough for now.

"Unbelievable! My energy value is only 3 points, and Tao Jing only has 28 points..." Yu Chengyue looked at the disappearing pillar of light. He only knew that the torrent of elemental power was huge, but he didn't know how huge it was.

The shockwave heat had dissipated, and the armed helicopter had readjusted its flight attitude. Everyone stared intently ahead, some sweating profusely, some pale, some flushed, and some excited and enthusiastic.

A giant crater with a diameter of 500 meters appeared on the ground. Within 800 meters of the crater, there were no trees standing. All the trees in this area had been burned, leaving only bits and pieces of rocks that had been melted into lava.

The giant crater, 500 meters in diameter, was crimson and emitted a blinding light, resembling a lava lake.

I just don't know how deep this lava lake is.

Such a vast lake of lava created by fire elements will form unique fire crystals after the lava solidifies, which are extraordinary minerals for humans.

Above the crimson lava lake, the superhuman who had caused the attack stood there, her feet resting on two spinning wheels of flame, red ribbons fluttering on her shoulders, an amber circle around her neck, and a crimson spear in one hand, her expression icy, like a god of death.

"Gulp... riding on fire wheels, a long spear... this image looks so familiar!" A soldier, drenched in sweat from the intense fire element in the air, looked at the figure in the distance with awe and swallowed hard.

Another soldier chimed in, "Now that you mention it... I think I remember."

“Nezha…” The two looked at each other and said the same name at the same time.

"Yes, yes, it looks just like it."

“But isn’t Nezha a man?” another soldier swallowed hard.

With the crimson lava lake as illumination, even from nearly a kilometer away, the camera equipment was able to clearly see the figure's shape and appearance.

Another soldier with some cultural background retorted: "Nezha? Nezha is a fictional character; he doesn't exist in history."

"However, she... really looks like Nezha..."

Even though the combatants were staunchly red materialists, they did not deny the existence of gods; many historical figures were even deified.

It's more accurate to call them hero worshippers than deities; they simply elevate heroes to godhood, even though many of these gods only exist in history books.

Moreover, weren't extraordinary individuals with superhuman strength considered gods by people in ancient times?

Even if Instructor Yu Chengyue traveled back to ancient times, he would be hailed as a deity by the ancients.

The state has long reached some conclusions that some of the historical figures who were deified may have been extraordinary individuals. For example, Xiang Yu, who charged into an army of 100,000 with only 28 horsemen and made seven incursions and seven retreats? This is recorded in official history.

Xiang Yu was probably an extraordinary individual who awakened his primal potential in ancient times.

Historians are now re-examining those extraordinary historical figures recorded in history.

The person in question, who appeared utterly cold and murderous to the combatants, was actually...

Maido stared blankly at the lava lake she had created, then looked down at the spear in her hand.

Did I cause this? How could it be so powerful?
Oh no! They've created such a huge lava lake, and it looks like they've burned down an entire forest.

Brother Luo will definitely scold me! He'll definitely flick my forehead! This time it won't just hurt for a moment! I'll definitely grow horns from the flick.

I should have known better than to use my ultimate move and just smashed the monsters' heads one by one.

Waaaaah... Maido wants to cry.

Just then, a door appeared in front of her and opened with a click.

"You're back now that you're done fighting, what are you standing there for?" Luo Sheng's voice came from outside.

"Oh..." Maiduo lowered her head and slowly flew into the Anywhere Door. She was already prepared to have her head smashed into something like the statue of some ancestor she had seen in that temple before, by Brother Luo.

With a click, the Anywhere Door closed and disappeared.

"They've left..." The commander on the helicopter sighed in disappointment as he watched the mysterious superhumans fly into the door and disappear. These mysterious individuals truly had no desire to have any contact with government departments.

"That's the spatial portal used by those mysterious superhumans in the highest-level video. It's truly amazing; they can travel to any place in the world anytime, anywhere," Yu Chengyue exclaimed.

With the power of space, timely rescue can be provided anywhere in the world where a disaster occurs.

Moreover, they also possess the power of foresight.

The commander rallied and quickly ordered, "She's gone, so it's our turn to clean up the battlefield. Try to collect as many fragments as possible left behind by the Beast Hounds. The National Academy of Sciences is waiting to use these fragments to develop a method to target the abyssal creatures." "Team One, roger."

"Second team received."

"Team Three received."

A rope ladder was lowered from the helicopter, and the combat personnel descended down the ladder into the forest, carefully exploring the battle ruins.

……

Meanwhile, the footage recorded was broadcast live to the five headquarters bases.

All documents and data are updated and recorded in real time by the five major bases in order to ensure information consistency as soon as possible.

Binhai City, Southern Headquarters.

The staff stared wide-eyed after receiving the real-time updated data from the Dabie Mountain branch base.

"Those mysterious superhumans have reappeared! They've even started sending out abyssal monsters of this level!"

Once a single instance of a supernatural being that has never appeared before is discovered, their appearances will become the norm from now on. This is something that the five permanent members of the United Nations have confirmed to each other.

However, the five major powers will not share information about their abnormal combat departments with each other. But according to the information from Xia Guo's agents, whether it is the United States, its northern neighbor, or the European Union, they are far inferior to Xia Guo in combating supernatural beings. They have not even built a systematic combat system.

Britain, in particular, has now been removed from the ranks of the five great powers.

Other countries prefer to engage with the British Church rather than with their parliaments.

The Church now wields immense influence in Britain, to the point that even the members of Parliament are subtly relying on it.

This is also why the people of Britain have more faith in the Church. After all, only the Church can save you from infection by mantle spores. Even the members of Parliament who were infected asked the Church for treatment.

Britain was already becoming a theocracy.

However, the Xia Kingdom has no negative views on the theocracy of Britain. The fact that their leader is an extraordinary being is enough. Those who become extraordinary must be righteous and kind people, and there is no doubt about that.

"This is terrifying. Those mysterious superhumans are indeed all human nuclear bombs." Major General Zhou Ren was shocked as he watched the female superhuman unleash a nuclear-powered attack on the screen.

Fortunately, the condition for obtaining the extraordinary is justice and kindness, otherwise he would be restless by now. After all, you have no idea how terrifying it is for a humanoid nuclear bomb to live in a Xia Kingdom city and explode at any time.

"It looks so much like him..." Major General Zhou Ren looked at the superhuman in the picture and the more he looked, the more he saw the resemblance. He looked a lot like Nezha, except that Nezha was male and this one was female.

"Hold a meeting tomorrow and show the footage to the combatants so they can discuss how to fight the beast hounds," Zhou Ren said, wiping the sweat from his brow.

"I need to go to the front lines and eat with the soldiers too. If this continues, I'll lose all face as a major general." Zhou Ren gritted his teeth. He was also a superhuman, having reached the second stage of entry-level superhumans: 'turbulent state'.

The higher-ups had already issued the "Source Awakening" to every government employee who passed the political vetting process, and those who were capable of cultivating it were being given special training.

Those who are unable to cultivate will be placed under investigation while still employed. If they still cannot awaken their 'willpower' after a year, then they must have done something wrong and will be subject to further investigation.

One-third of those already working within the system have been removed from their positions, and tens of thousands have been sent to prison to receive free government jobs.

This is still the first phase of the national plan.

The second phase will begin by popularizing the concept among employees of central and state-owned enterprises, and the third phase will involve popularizing it among the general public and incorporating the concept of Source Awakening into school subjects.

There's absolutely no need to worry about the proliferation of extraordinary abilities, or that people with impure intentions simply can't cultivate them.

Even if one succeeds in cultivation, one will still lose their extraordinary status if their heart is not pure.

For a country, the more people who can cultivate themselves, the better.

What the nation truly values ​​are those who can use 'elemental power,' and such people are extremely rare.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
"Please come in."

"Commander, those four people from another world have applied to join the Abnormal Combat Team. We've already rejected them six times as usual, but they're incredibly persistent, so I have no choice but to bring it up with you."

"They are waiting at the door now, they insist on seeing you."

Zhou Ren rubbed his forehead: "I see. Let them in."

Mo Cheng walked in first, a slick expression on his face: "Hehe... Hello, Chief."

Jeff, with a steely expression, gave a military salute: "Greetings, sir!" He had learned this from his combat comrades.

Feixue and Erica also stood at attention and gave a military salute: "Greetings, Commander."

Zhou Ren said with a stern face: "You learn very quickly. Did the combatants teach you?"

"Tell me, why do you insist on joining the Abnormal Operations Team? Currently, only citizens of this country can join the Abnormal Operations Team."

"You must tell the truth, without the slightest lie."

"Report!" Mo Cheng straightened his chest and raised his head: "We know nothing about the common sense of this world, nor do we have the skills to live in the city. Our only skills are firearms and combat. We cannot live outside of here."

Erica nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "They only know how to operate heavy 3D engines, nothing else. They'll definitely starve to death if they leave the base."

Feixue continued, "We've gotten used to fighting."

Jeff bowed to Zhou Ren: "Please, sir, let us join the combat team. We can't just eat and drink for free."

"Please." Mo Cheng, Fei Xue, and Erica also bowed deeply.

After eating and drinking for free for two days, they felt embarrassed. Since the other party had been so kind to them, they felt they had to do something in return.

“That is a problem.” Zhou Ren frowned. He had thought of this problem long ago. People in the post-apocalyptic world are used to fighting. It would be too difficult for them to live like ordinary people. Who knows what trouble they might cause.

Have you heard the soldiers talk about 'source potential'?

Ellie and the other three looked at each other. Of course, they had already asked, and the soldiers in the base didn't seem to treat them like outsiders, telling them directly, but they certainly wouldn't give them the cultivation method.

Zhou Ren took out a document from the drawer and pushed it over, saying seriously, "I can approve your cultivation method. If you can awaken your willpower within half a month, then I will make an exception and allow you to join the combat team."

Even if they are from another world, as long as they can cultivate the potential of the source essence, we can make an exception for them.
