Man on the ark, forced to become king

She was simply unconsciously activating the spell to unleash her power.

One is controlled by the Flame Demon's consciousness, while the other is ignorant and clueless. Although both possess powerful destructive capabilities, the actual experience of dealing with them is quite different.

Of course, it's easier to hit a stationary target than a moving one.

Jeston is currently shooting at a stationary target.

A spell that can crush steel? Then fill the void with even more magical creations!

Human strength has its limits. Any spell used by humans will eventually run out of energy. Even if it's just a matter of dragging it out, Jeston is confident that he can hold out until the rampaging experimenter is exhausted.

However, that would seem somewhat incompetent.

Boom boom boom!

The intense collision echoed in the room. Jeston gritted his teeth, protecting the child in his arms while focusing all his energy on controlling Originium Arts, pushing the surging black iron to its limit.

He didn't notice that as the battle raged, a faint golden glow gradually dissipated from his body and drifted into the surrounding air.

Apart from this laboratory, the rest of the Loken tank was swept by an invisible force and fell into absolute stillness.

Whether it was the defense personnel who rushed to the scene or the researchers who fled in panic, they were all frozen in place, becoming unmoving statues.

For ordinary people, the power of time is an insurmountable barrier.

-------------------------------------

"This kid did a good job."

Using the blessing of the Golden Tree to remotely observe the battlefield, Lin Lu nodded in satisfaction, her evaluation of Jeston rising slightly.

From this perspective, this guy is quite promising.

The reason he was knocked down by Saria in three punches might not be because he was too weak, but because Saria was too strong.

After all, there are differences between people.

Saria's strength is such that she wouldn't be considered weak in any country or power. Even Ursus's carefully trained inner guards would likely be no match for her.

Jeston is at best an outstanding individual among ordinary people; the two are not even in the same league.

To be honest, Jeston might be comparable to Lappland and Texas before they received the blessing of the Golden Tree.

That's not bad at all.

If you put him in Colombia, he would be far superior to Dassimus of Syracuse, and that's enough.

Of course, most importantly, there is still hope for Jeston. He is not a purely evil person, and his character flaws can likely be changed after being educated by Golden Tree.

He could lend a helping hand to experimental subjects who were unrelated to him in the laboratory, which suited Lin Lu's tastes very well, so he didn't mind giving him a little credit.

"Boss, with Jesston's capabilities, I'm afraid he doesn't have the ability to destroy a fully equipped laboratory, right?"

Seria didn't know what Lin Lu had seen, but she was familiar with the structure of the laboratory in Colombia.

Given Jeston's abilities, even if he were to move up a level, it would be very difficult to completely destroy a laboratory—here, destruction refers to damaging everything that could potentially reveal information to the point of being irreparable.

The technical capabilities of beach umbrellas are quite advanced; if the damage isn't thorough enough, it won't escape their notice.

If Rhine Lab could find valuable information in the ruins of Hayden's laboratory, there's no reason why Beach Umbrella couldn't.

“Muirsay and I can get involved in processing it so that the beach umbrellas don’t have any usable information in the lab.”

After thinking it over, she offered to help.

She hates it when it comes to helping cover up a crime scene, but she's happy to help with the cleanup in this case.

"No need."

Muirsey stared at Seria with a resentful look, but Lin Lu waved her hand in refusal and laughed, "Of course Jeston can't handle it all, I'll take care of it."

"Originally, I planned to destroy the Loken tank with a natural disaster, so that even the most advanced technology wouldn't be able to find anything inside."

"However, Jeston's performance made me change my mind. If the test subject goes berserk, the news won't get out, so who will know exactly how it went berserk?"

"Sometimes, if you want to cover up the traces, the method is very simple: just a big fire, let me burn big enough."

"Natural disaster? Wildfire?"

Saria and Muirses looked at each other, and finally Muirses couldn't hold back any longer.

"Boss, do you have a way to control natural disasters?"

The elven girl's eyes sparkled, her curiosity practically written all over her face.

Controlling natural disasters is a topic that has been studied by countless experts and scholars throughout history, and a dream that countless people have longed for. This is no small matter, and she is extremely interested in it.

After spending some time with her new boss and finding her surprisingly easy to get along with, she became much more active and lively than the serious Saria.

Lin Lu quite likes this easygoing, straightforward way of getting along, where people ask questions directly.

"no way."

Lin Lu spread her hands and said frankly, "Natural disasters are natural phenomena that can appear randomly in any place. How can humans control them? At most, I can only shatter a natural disaster."

"However, although I cannot control natural disasters, I can control my own magic, and the effect is about the same."

"Spells? Spells comparable to natural disasters?"

This answer was something Muirsay hadn't expected; wasn't that even more outrageous?

In comparison, the idea of ​​controlling natural disasters seems more acceptable.

After all, no matter how you look at it, controlling something that's already there should be simpler, right?

To simulate a natural disaster using one's own magic, what level of energy consumption would be required?

Even if you blew the power plants of a mobile city into the sky, you still wouldn't reach that standard.

If someone could do that, would they still be human?

"Are you referring to those small-scale natural disasters that frequently occur in the wild?"

After a little thought, Muirsay came up with a more palatable explanation in his mind.

For small-scale natural disasters, modern large-scale spellcasting units, coupled with sufficient energy supply, should be able to achieve a similar effect.

As for manpower... His Majesty the Demon King of Kazdel recently demonstrated it in Trimont, and its power was even greater than that.

Since someone has done it before, it's not impossible for our new boss to do the same thing.

...Although it's still not being human.

"No, large ones."

If the object of her affections is a beautiful girl, Lin Lu doesn't mind showing off her heroic spirit a little; it feels quite nice.

He stood with his hands behind his back, a mysterious smile on his face, and gently shook his head. He felt very comfortable looking at Muirsey's wide eyes and Seria's surprised expression.

"It's the kind of large-scale natural disaster you're thinking of, the kind that requires moving cities to take precautions in advance."

“If necessary, I could erase Tremont from the map, but there’s no need to do so; it’s pointless.”

"Are you kidding me?"

Muirsey's smile froze on her face as she tried to decipher the joke in her boss's expression.

Destroy a moving city single-handedly?

That's absolutely a fantasy!

If this is a joke, then it's quite amusing...

"It's smaller, the layout is smaller."

Lin Lu raised her hand and pulled out a picture in mid-air, filled with a pale gold light, showing the scene inside the Loken Water Tank Laboratory.

It encompasses not only the main laboratory where Jeston is located, but the entire Loken tank, like a 3D model displayed on a screen.

The power of the Golden Tree has spread to the entire area of ​​the Loken tank through Jeston, which means that the entire laboratory is now under the Golden Tree's influence, with every detail clearly visible.

slap~

With a crisp snap of his fingers, a ring of orange-red flames ignited around the area where Jeston was located, spreading outwards at a visible speed.

The steel was rapidly melted and vaporized, and all the facilities and structures were reduced to nothing in the flames.

The sturdy laboratory, like a model made of paper, was quickly burned to ashes.

In the stillness of time, destruction spreads silently.

There were no other living test subjects left in the Loken tank, so there was nothing to worry about. Lin Lu also had no pity for the research institute staff and security personnel who had aided and abetted the evildoers.

Whatever their reasons for going there, the fact remains that they helped conduct forbidden experiments and harmed innocent people.

In the Loken tank, no one is clean.

Their ability to turn to ashes in a frozen moment was a final act of mercy from Lin Lu.

"This is... that fire?"

Saria was stunned as she watched the rapidly spreading, all-consuming flames on screen.

She had some understanding of Lin Lu's strength, knowing that her new boss was a powerful figure no less than the Demon Lord Kazdel.

But this...

Even using the all-powerful Originium Arts to explain it is a bit too fantastical.
