Chapter 515: Pure Destruction (2)

When he was in the spaceship, Bloed built many things. Some of them were expensive toys like a hoverboard, and others were highly intelligent robots such as Tito and Leto.

The experience of building these artifacts helped Bloed to consolidate his mechanical and engineering knowledge, and it allowed him to build one of his greatest creations to date.

A satellite orbiting the planet.

This satellite was equipped with several functions such as observation and amplification, and It was one of the reasons why Bloed and Regina could communicate telepathically regardless of the distance.

But besides it, Bloed had not used the satellite that much. Most of the time, it was either unnecessary or useless in the situations he faced. The last time Bloed connected to it was when he was escaping from the exiled lands and used the satellite to determine the location of the horde of beasts chasing them.

However, it did not mean that the satellite was useless.

Quite the opposite, the satellite was one of Bloed's greatest and most destructive trump cards.

Besides the observation and amplification systems, Bloed had also installed a weapon system on it.

The satellite was equipped with a total of eight nuclear bombs, each one with a yield of two thousand tons of TNT.

Any of these was strong enough to wipe out a small town from the map.

These bombs were Bloed's last trump card. He did not dare to use them lightly for fear of injuring innocent people or getting caught in the range of the explosion. If Bloed dared to use one of these bombs in a city, thousands of people could die.

However, right now, they were in a forest far away from the closest city.

Thus, when Bloed determined that it was impossible to escape from the siege of the monsters, he ordered the satellite to shoot one of the bombs.

It took the satellite twenty seconds to calculate the impact trajectory, and a bit over one and half minutes for the bomb to reach the ground.

Then

*BOOM!!!*

A blinding light exploded in the forest.

The detonation of the bomb created a ball of fire that expanded quickly. In seconds, it swallowed hundreds of meters of the forest. Dozens of beasts were carbonized instantly.

But that was just the start. In the next second, the shockwave of the explosion appeared, sweeping away everything in its path.

Countless trees were torn off from the ground before breaking into hundreds of pieces. They mixed with the stones shot by the explosion and turned into deadly projectiles. The beasts that survived the first explosion were immediately turned into sieves before their bodies were torn apart by the strength of the shockwave.

Then, the heat of the explosion followed the shockwave, carbonizing several kilometers of forest in seconds. By this point, most of the beasts that attacked Bloed's group were killed.

Finally, the sudden heat created hot air that rose at great speed, creating a vacuum that gave birth to a powerful whirlwind, destroying anything that had been destroyed.

This was the power of one of humankind's most destructive creations. Even though this bomb was several times weaker than the first nuclear bombs humans created, its power was enough to cause destruction on a great scale.

Only after two minutes did the aftermath of the explosion started to fade away.

At that moment, the ground three hundred meters away from the epicenter of the explosion moved.

One second later, Bloed, Eres, Liu Ying, and Princess Elwha dug themselves out with the help of Leto.

The four of them were they were mostly uninjured thanks to Bloed's calculations. Even so, the shockwaves left them dizzy and nauseous, and there was a bothersome beeping in their ears due to the loud explosion.

"We need to leave this place now," Bloed told them without giving them the chance to admire the destruction caused by his weapon. "Hurry up."

The girls nodded. Bloed then carried Elwha on his back and Eres and Liu Ying followed him.

On the way, the group saw the carbonized bodies of several monsters, making the girls cover their mouths in nausea. Seeing the destruction caused by Bloed's weapon made them astonished.

Around one minute later, the group had moved around two kilometers away from the epicenter of the explosion. Even so, they could see only destruction around them.

Even though the destruction here was less thorough than in the epicenter of the explosion, every sign of life had still been erased.

Just then, Bloed stopped abruptly.

"Bloed, what happened?"

Bloed did not reply to Liu Ying's question and instead, he stared at the sky.

" As expected, it was not enough to kill him."

In the sky, he could see the Saint of the Church of Slaughter followed by the two demigod beasts.

The three of them were in a sorry state. The monkey demigod had lost a leg, and the wolf sported several serious burns all around its body. The Saint of the Church of Slaughter was in better condition than them, but even so, he was bleeding from his mouth, and his mana was visibly depleted.

" I will kill you." The Saint of the Church of Slaughter growled at Bloed with eyes full of killing intent.

"Fuck! How is he not dead?" Liu Ying cursed.

Bloed smiled bitterly.

In fact, he expected this result. After all, he knew that Regina would not die even if one of these bombs detonated directly in front of her.

In the Human Confederation, ESPers above the S-Grade were true monsters. Most weapons could not damage them, and even weapons of mass destruction could not kill them easily.

As the equivalent of S-Grade ESPers of this world, Demigods could not be weaker.

"It looks like in the end, we still need to fight." Bloed's expression became determined. He put Elwha on the ground and grabbed his saber, getting ready to start the battle.

At the same time, Liu Ying and Eres roused their mana.

The Saint of the Church of Slaughter watched them coldly. In the next second, countless nightmarish monsters rose from his shadow.

"I will kill you, brats!"
