Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Even bulletproof vests made of high-strength Kevlar fiber appear so fragile and powerless in the face of this deadly firepower, and are simply unable to protect the wearer's life.

　With the entire patrol wiped out, the thousand-strong Herrscher individual, who possessed abilities similar to the Herrscher of Wind, slowly walked up to the captain.

　But to everyone's surprise, He did not attack the traitor.

　"Hard."

　"Everything for God!"

　These few words brought to light the truth behind the patrol captain's betrayal.

　It turns out that he was already one of the thousand Heralds.

　Just as the two individual Herrschers were about to say something more, the walkie-talkie clipped to the patrol captain's chest rang.

　"Patrol Group 3, what just happened?"

　Upon hearing the inquiry coming from the walkie-talkie, the patrol captain, who had long since been transformed into a thousand individual Herrschers, replied to the nuclear power plant's security control room in a voice indistinguishable from his usual self.

　"Oh, it's nothing. We were just attacked by a group of refugees, but we killed them. Everything is fine now."

　Upon hearing the patrol team leader's reply, the security control room didn't think there was anything wrong.

　Since the pseudo-black hole released by the Ninth Herrscher swallowed the Mu Continent, extreme acts like this, attempting to attack nuclear power plants, have become commonplace and no longer so shocking.

　They could actually understand the attackers' motives.

　In today's turbulent world, not everyone is as fortunate as them to have a stable job to support their families and withstand the storms of life.

　For those lonely, adrift souls, when the pressures of life and the indifference of society accumulate to an unbearable level, they may choose to express their dissatisfaction and resistance against society in extreme ways. While this is regrettable, it is also understandable.

　In fact, something similar happened just last month.

　Therefore, the security control room staff chose to believe the patrol team leader's report and once again instructed them to strengthen their vigilance to ensure the safety of the nuclear power plant.

　"Okay, be safe!"

　"Thanks, we'll keep an eye out."

　After speaking, the patrol captain put down the walkie-talkie and calmly changed the magazine on his assault rifle.

Chapter 480 The Attack of a Thousand Herrschers (Part 2)

　With the patrol captain's cooperation, the security defenses of the Paluel nuclear power plant were practically non-existent for the three individual Herrschers, and could not stop their advance at all.

　Yes, besides the thousand Herrschers with abilities similar to the Fourth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Wind, and the patrol captain, another crucial member was hidden in this attack on the nuclear power plant.

　That person who possesses something like a third

　The thousand individual Herrschers with the Herrscher of Thunder ability are the key figures in the entire attack operation.

　He could easily manipulate the four key pressurized water reactors in the nuclear power plant, causing them to overload and triggering a devastating explosion.

　Don't think that it would be difficult for three individual Herrschers to launch a joint attack on the Paluel nuclear power plant.

　The strength of a thousand Herrschers is weak relative to ordinary Herrschers. Compared to ordinary Moths of Flame soldiers, a thousand Herrschers are still powerful enough.

　Of particular note is that this operation marks the first time the Thousand Lawyers have targeted a nuclear power plant, a crucial facility.

　In this situation, the fact that three individual members of the Thousand-Herrs tribe were still dispatched demonstrates the extremely high level of importance they placed on the Paluel nuclear power plant.

　If even a nuclear power plant lacking direct presence of the Flame Chasers and protected solely by its own security forces cannot be successfully conquered, then the Thousand Heralds are ill-equipped to undertake the sacred and arduous mission of cleansing human civilization, and are even less qualified to call themselves apostles of God.

　In fact, the subsequent developments proved the meticulousness and reliability of the plan devised by the Council of a Thousand Lawyers.

　During their journey, although nuclear power plant workers occasionally passed by, the patrol captain's imposing figure acted as an invisible barrier, making everyone ignore the two unfamiliar visitors.

　Do you know the two people with him?

　One of the staff members asked his colleague in a low voice.

　"Perhaps they are new employees, since new people often join here."

　"Moreover, with the patrol captain personally accompanying them, they are clearly not ordinary people. Let's not ask any more questions."

　Such conversations, like a gentle breeze, leave little trace in the air.

　And so, amidst casual conversations and speculations, the three of them moved like ghosts through the intricate security network of the Paluel nuclear power plant, eventually arriving silently at the core of the nuclear island.

　There, four majestic pressurized water reactors stand tall, surrounded by a complex network of pipes and sophisticated control systems, creating a magnificent picture that tells the story of the great power of human civilization and technology.

　The three Herrschers, each with a thousand members, exchanged no words, but with just a glance, they tacitly began to act according to the blueprint they had meticulously planned in the [Domination Theater].

　The individual Herrscher, possessing abilities akin to the Herrscher of Thunder, subtly guided the nuclear reactor toward its overload threshold through his masterful manipulation of electromagnetic forces, foreshadowing the impending explosion.

　Another individual Herrscher, whose abilities closely resembled those of the Herrscher of Wind, moved through every corner of the nuclear power plant, silently eliminating all security forces that might hinder the plan.

　As for the patrol captain, he became a loyal shield, steadfastly protecting the thousand Herrscher individuals who controlled the nuclear reactor, ensuring the smooth progress of the entire plan without any external interference.

　As the thousand Herrschers, possessing abilities similar to the Herrscher of Thunder, precisely input a series of commands into the reactor's control system, the safety defenses inside the four pressurized water reactors crumbled one by one, and the safety restriction systems were shut down one after another.

　As the second largest nuclear power plant in Western Europe, the Palueel Nuclear Power Plant has a very comprehensive safety system.

　Therefore, the emergence of this series of abnormal data quickly attracted the attention of the nuclear power plant's central control room.

　Inside the control room, the once tranquil projection screen suddenly transformed into a chaotic ocean, with a torrent of data raging like a storm, jumping and churning wildly.

　The technicians were stunned by this sudden turn of events, exchanging bewildered glances with undisguised fear and deep confusion in their eyes.

　Not long ago, they had confidently confirmed the system's robustness and security, firmly believing that it could withstand any potential threats.

　However, reality at this moment was like a heavy hammer blow, shattering their beliefs and making everything seem so unbelievable.

　They couldn't fathom why those rigorously checked, seemingly flawless systems would reveal such chilling vulnerability at this very moment.

　However, these are elites who are able to work in nuclear power plants, and these technicians are well aware of their responsibilities.

　Even though their hearts were filled with doubt and fear, they did not back down or run away in the slightest.

　Of course, this is mainly because their higher education and professional skills taught them that if the nuclear reactor overloaded and exploded, none of them would survive.

　Unfortunately, faced with the extraordinary power of the thousand-strong legal team, the efforts of the nuclear power plant technicians seemed so insignificant and powerless.

　Whether it's restarting the system, isolating the fault, or performing an emergency shutdown, all attempts are like throwing an egg against a rock, unable to shake the already activated destructive mechanism.

　As the internal safety restraint systems of the nuclear reactor were shut down one by one, an unprecedented crisis was quietly brewing at the Palueel nuclear power plant.

　The temperature inside the nuclear reactor began to rise sharply, and the pressure gradually increased, like a sleeping beast being slowly awakened, emitting bursts of roar.

　Technicians frantically moved around the control room, trying to prevent the disaster from happening by any last means.

　Unfortunately, in the case of the thousand-person law

　Under the interference of those in power, their efforts were utterly incapable of changing the overall situation.

　The data on the projection screen had completely spiraled out of control; every number was like a countdown to death, heralding the approaching end of the world.

　Just then, the outer shell of the nuclear reactor began to emit a faint red light, a sign that the metal was about to melt at high temperatures.

　Immediately afterwards, plumes of steam mixed with radioactive material shot out from the gaps in the reactor, as if the gates of hell were being slowly opened, releasing destructive power.

　"Quickly! Evacuate immediately!"

　Desperate cries echoed from the control room, but it was too late.

　The pressure inside the nuclear reactor has reached its limit.

　With a deafening roar, the first pressurized water reactor finally succumbed to the pressure and melted down.

　At that moment, the entire nuclear power plant seemed to have been hit by a giant bomb, with the ground shaking and flames shooting into the sky.

　The explosion of the nuclear reactor triggered a chain reaction, and the other three reactors also fell into the abyss of destruction.

　The immense energy was released in an instant, obliterating everything around it, including the elite technicians who had tried to protect the nuclear power plant.

　The shockwave from the nuclear explosion spread outwards at an alarming speed, destroying the nuclear power plant's structure and tearing the massive reinforced concrete structure to shreds.

　Flames and thick smoke blotted out the sun, turning the sky a terrifying dark red.

　Radioactive dust, like the shadow of death, spread rapidly, covering the surrounding land and cities.

　At this moment, the glorious achievements of human civilization have turned into a sharp sword that destroys itself.

Chapter 481 The Clash Between the Fire-Chasing Moth and the Thousand-Man Herrscher

　The nuclear explosion at the Palueel nuclear power plant had a devastating impact that transcended geographical boundaries, shaking the entire world.

　Even the coastal city of Dieppe, 40 kilometers away, could clearly see the mushroom cloud rising into the sky.

　This scene made it clear to all the witnesses the horrific devastation that was taking place at the Paluel nuclear power plant.

　This incident, as the pinnacle of guerrilla warfare a month after the arrival of the Tenth Herrscher, the Herrscher of a Thousand, was undoubtedly a heavy blow to human civilization.

　In Paluel, a quiet town located next to a nuclear power plant, the lives of nearly 10,000 residents were abruptly ended by the devastation of the nuclear explosion, with no one spared.

　The radiation disaster caused by the nuclear explosion spread rapidly to the surrounding areas like an invisible demon, forcing residents within a 60-kilometer radius, including Dieppe, to evacuate urgently.

　Under normal circumstances, if a nuclear power plant experiences a leak, the evacuation zone is typically set at 30 kilometers to ensure public safety.

　However, the current situation is that the Palueel nuclear power plant has encountered the extreme event of a nuclear explosion, the destructive power and radiation impact of which far exceed those of a conventional leak.

　Therefore, expanding the evacuation area to twice its original size, or even further, is a reasonable decision made based on safety considerations and is easy to understand.

　Getting back to the main point, the nuclear disaster at the Paluel nuclear power plant was far more serious than a matter of French domestic affairs, escalating directly into a Herrscher attack that required the urgent intervention of the Fire Moth.

　In theory, a nuclear power plant’s robust safety system should be able to withstand any potential threat, and even in the extreme case of severe reactor damage, it would usually only lead to a leak accident similar to Fukushima.

　A nuclear explosion as awe-inspiring as the one before us would be considered an impossible disaster under conventional logic.

　However, reality has cruelly proven its existence.

　For Dr. Mei's Firemoth organization, this nuclear explosion almost directly points to a clear conclusion—the destruction by the Thousand Herrschers.

　Given the severity of the situation, the Moth to the Flame acted decisively, taking over the evacuation task originally undertaken by the French government.

　This decision is undoubtedly a hopeful and fortunate turning point for those residents who urgently need to be evacuated.

　After all, relying solely on the French government's evacuation mechanism would have been rather inefficient and ineffective.

　But the Moths are different; they have accumulated rich experience in evacuation and resettlement during their long-term battle against the Honkai.

　These valuable experiences enabled the Fire Moth to act swiftly and systematically when faced with such urgent and complex evacuation tasks, ensuring that every resident could be transferred and resettled in a timely and safe manner.

　The orderly evacuation and resettlement work did not take up too much of Dr. Mei's time. After issuing the relevant instructions, she convened an emergency meeting with all the fusion warriors.

　The raid by the Thousand Heralds on the Paluel nuclear power plant has brought unprecedented challenges to the Moth of Fire organization and even to the entire human society.

　Before this, the human civilization on this planet had never encountered a Herrscher who dared to abandon the noble stance of being an apostle of God and instead employ cunning and unpredictable guerrilla tactics.

　The ingenuity of its tactical design and the shamelessness of its methods are unmatched, even by the Eighth Herrscher of Consciousness, who is skilled at concealment and only reveals his true form at the last moment.

　Faced with the formidable challenge of a thousand lawyers placing their strategic focus on the critical objective of nuclear power plants, Mei Bo...

　The executive demonstrated exceptional leadership and strategic wisdom.

　She decisively adjusted her response strategy and designed a flexible and efficient force deployment plan.

　Under this plan, the Fusion Warriors were cleverly organized into pairs and deployed to nuclear power plants around the world, forming a tight protective network.

　This layout not only significantly improves the flexibility and response speed of the defense system, but also greatly enhances humanity's ability to resist attacks from thousands of Herrschers.

　Dr. Mei's coping strategy has achieved remarkable results.

　Over the next two weeks, the Fire Moth successfully thwarted fifteen meticulously planned attacks by a thousand Herrschers targeting nuclear power plants worldwide.

　Even more exciting is that, thanks to the valiant efforts of Kevin, Qianjie, Alicia, and other fusion warriors, nearly twenty Herrscher individuals were killed and their Herrscher cores were seized.

　The atmosphere inside the World Bubble [Domination Theater] is tense and solemn.

　"This can't go on like this!"

　"The moths that chase fire are already on guard against our actions."

　"We must change our strategy and find new targets!"

　"..."

　Within this bubble of a world bestowed by the Cocoon of the End, the thousands of individual Herrschers gathered to engage in a heated discussion about how to overcome the current predicament and continue to advance the grand plan to cleanse human civilization.

　They each expressed their opinions, trying to find that crucial breakthrough for the next step.

　Just as the discussion reached a stalemate, a proposal, like a ray of dawn, illuminated the hearts of all the thousand Law wielders present.

　"We might find a turning point with the necromancer."

　The method by which one becomes a member of the Thousand Lawyers is impossible to verify.
