Chapter 117 Palm Thunder Mini Version
The Yan Kingdom's army was like a black tide, silently and solemnly surging to the towering walls of Fuying Kyoto, which could not hide the panic.
With flags fluttering and armors shining, the iron-blooded army that had experienced the baptism of the pink and blue fireworks show in Yingxue City was now filled with a murderous aura that almost condensed into substance, pressing heavily towards the capital city that symbolized Fuying's final struggle.
Dongfang Yuning, who was held tightly in Nangong Ye's arms, finally recovered some energy from his drained and weak state.
Although her little face still had a lazy blush, her clear eyes were surprisingly bright, as if reflecting the stars, and she excitedly scanned the Fuying Imperial City in front of her, which looked particularly dazzling in the sun.
【118! 118! 】
She excitedly called the system in her mind,
Look! Look! It's time to witness a historic moment! Fuying Kyoto! I'm here! This shabby place will be renamed the Yanguo Free Trade Zone Phase I Project! Just thinking about it makes me excited!
System 118's electronic voice carried a hint of helpless calmness:
[Beep! Host, calm down! Another friendly reminder: the world you are in is an independently operating parallel space-time, with no direct causal connection to your native world's Fuying Kingdom. What you are flattening is only the Fuying of this space-time.]
The villain in Dongfang Yuning's heart immediately covered his ears and shook his head frantically:
[I don't want to hear your nonsense! What a bullshit parallel world! This short, stout fellow's behavior, this despicable demeanor, this unrepentant nature!]
It's exactly like what's written in history books and shown in movies! The conditions are perfectly met! I don't care!
I'm going to crush this Fuying tree today! Even Jesus can't stop it! I'm telling you! No one's pleas will help! I'll scatter its ashes!]
The stubbornness and the fierceness mixed with new and old hatreds were clearly conveyed through the voice of the heart.
Prince Nangong Chengqian, who was riding beside him, clearly heard his aunt's murderous yet childish voice, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch:
Fuying, Fuying... What sins did you commit in your past life? Or what immoral deeds have you done in this life that have infuriated heaven and man? To make my aunt hate you so deeply, to the point of wanting to crush you to death? Please accept my condolences... I can only observe three seconds of silence for you.
The look he gave the towering city wall was filled with sympathy (?) and a hint of schadenfreude.
Nangong Ye controlled the reins with one hand, while the other hand still domineeringly held the excited and twisting little woman in his arms. Feeling the disgust from the depths of her soul and the rising fighting spirit at the moment, his cold brows softened for a moment, and his fingertips unconsciously caressed her waist.
What she hated, Nangong Ye hated. What she desired, he wanted, the very thing he swung his sword for. As for whether this hatred stemmed from history or a parallel world, it didn't matter. As long as Ning'er was happy, that was all that mattered.
But at this moment in Fuying Kyoto, the scene was completely different.
A gloomy mist fell over a certain shogunate. The emperor's face was gloomy, and he sat on the throne like a clay or wooden sculpture.
The ministers below were arguing endlessly. The pro-war faction had long since fallen silent, their faces ashen. The pro-peace faction, with an absolute upper hand, was now furiously expounding on their brilliant plan:
"Your Majesty! The Yan Kingdom's military is too powerful! We cannot defeat them! The most urgent thing is to seek peace! Offer all the treasures in the national treasury! And select a hundred... no! A thousand stunning virgins!
Together with... along with several princesses! Present them all to the Emperor of Yan and Prince Yong! This will surely calm their wrath and buy Fuying a moment of respite!
"Yes! As long as Yan Kingdom is willing to withdraw its troops, we have time! We can secretly accumulate strength and contact Beidi! One day..."
"Exactly! Only by enduring the humiliation for a while can we have a chance to restore our country! Your Majesty, make the decision!"
They were still dreaming of seeking peace and relief, and waiting for the day with hardship and perseverance! Little did they know that the beauties and wealth they regarded as their lifeline were already worthless in the eyes of the core members of Yan State.
What they didn't know was that the handsome young man at the foot of the city, who was held in the palm of Prince Yong's hand, scoffed at their delaying tactics and was determined to kill them!
Dongfang Yuning listened to the city's peacemaking farce being broadcast simultaneously on System 118, and a very kind smile appeared on his face:
[Heh, you still want to catch your breath? You still want to restore your country? Dream on! I won't even give you a chance!]
She rolled her eyes and asked in her mind with a little excitement:
[118, what do you think... should we use Cornetto to give their walls a thorough cleanup first? Or... should we try out my new arsenal?]
She subconsciously stroked the cold Future Heart ring on her right index finger.
System 118 immediately alerted:
[Ding! Host! Calm down! Cautious! Your little cutie's arsenal is full of powerful weapons! Especially the one codenamed Little Cutie! Take it easy! Don't let your hands slip and make a mess!]
This is prime real estate for your future international booth! How can you attract business and rent if it's bombed like the surface of the moon? (The system displays a horrific image of a virtual CBD plan covered in a nuclear mushroom cloud.)
[Don't worry! I know my limits!]
Dongfang Yuning curled his lips.
[I just wanted to find a handy little toy to scare them and test the waters at the same time!]
She focused her mind and communicated with the ring:
[Xiao Lingling~Are you there? ]
A cold, emotionless electronic synthesized voice instantly responded in her mind:
Commander, Zero is online. Weaponry status: 100% ready. Please give instructions.
Dongfang Yuning's eyes sparkled:
[Help me find a little cutie with moderate power, loud enough movement, shocking visual effects, but relatively controllable destructive range!
I want to give a warm greeting to those short, fat girls still dreaming on the city walls! And by the way, try out the new toys!
[Command received. Analyzing...]
AI Zero's voice was calm.
Based on the commander's requirements and the current battlefield environment (main urban area infrastructure must be preserved), the recommended weapon is the PB-01 Miniature Fusion Blaster (nickname: Palm Bomb Mini).
【Weapon parameters:】
[Equivalent: 0.5 tons of TNT (adjustable)]
[Kill radius: controllable, maximum 50 meters (shock wave + light radiation)]
[Visual Effect: High-brightness flash + small mushroom cloud (maximum artistic effect)]
[Additional Effect: Strong electromagnetic pulse (EMP), can paralyze non-shielded electronic equipment within a radius of 200 meters (invalid in this world)]
Advantages: Small size (palm-sized), can be thrown or launched, easy to operate, loud noise, strong deterrent effect, relatively controllable damage to the main structure (mainly destroying the surface and personnel).
[Disadvantages: The core temperature of the explosion is extremely high and may ignite wooden buildings.]
【Are you sure to call? 】
[Confirmed! This is it!]
Dongfang Yuning excitedly made the decision in her mind. She felt her palm sink, and when she looked down, a small ball, several times smaller than the last one, silver-gray in color, smooth as a pebble, and emitting a cold metallic luster, quietly appeared in her palm.
It feels heavy in the hand, with a restrained aura of destruction.
“Wow!”
Dongfang Yuning couldn't help but let out a low cry, and curiously played with the Palm Thunder Mini Edition, with curiosity and eagerness written all over his little face.
Her subtle movements and the sudden appearance of the gadget immediately attracted the attention of the two men next to her.
Nangong Ye lowered his eyes and looked at the silver ball in the palm of his little princess that exuded a dangerous aura, his deep eyes narrowed slightly.
Is this Ning'er's new toy? It looks... more reserved than cute, and somehow more dangerous too!
Nangong Chengqian's eyes lit up instantly! He stared at the small ball like a searchlight!
Is this the new toy my aunt was talking about?! It looks so exquisite! So cool! I wonder how powerful it is? It must be more powerful than Kawaii, right?! His inner idiot is already frantically anticipating it!
Dongfang Yuning raised his head and met Nangong Ye's inquiring gaze.
She immediately smiled a sweet, charming smile, her voice soft and sticky, with a hook:
"Brother Aye~husband~"
As soon as the word "husband" came out, the corners of Nangong Ye's cold lips instantly rose uncontrollably, and even the icy aura around him melted a little.
He knew his little woman too well. This tone and this expression were definitely the prelude to something. He pinched the tip of her nose lovingly, his voice low and gentle, with unconditional indulgence:
"Ning'er, baby~ go ahead and play if you want! Your husband is here to play with you!"
The tone made it feel like he was not on the battlefield, but accompanying his darling wife to the garden and set off fireworks.
Nangong Chengqian felt a chill as he listened to this, and complained in his heart:
[Uncle! Your tone... is so corny it's giving me goosebumps! But... I also want to see my aunt play with her new toys! (Honest)]
Dongfang Yuning smiled brightly after receiving the approval. She raised the silver palm thunder in her hand and acted coquettishly towards Nangong Ye:
"Brother Aye, look at this! It's called the Palm Thunder Mini Edition! It's so fun! Can you light it for me? And then... throw it to the highest corner tower!"
She pointed with her little hand to a gorgeously decorated corner tower on the Kyoto city wall, which was filled with generals of the Fuying garrison.
Nangong Ye looked at her bright and expectant eyes, and how could he refuse? He took the heavy, cold silver ball and felt a strange energy fluctuation the moment he touched it.
He took out the fire starter he carried with him. Although he knew that the way to ignite this thing must be unusual, since Ning'er asked him to light it, he cooperated and solemnly lit a light burn on an inconspicuous groove on the surface of the silver ball, which was actually a camouflaged ignition port temporarily generated by AI Zero.
laugh--
An imperceptible blue arc flashed in the groove, and an extremely slight "buzzing" sound came from inside the silver ball. The metallic luster on the surface seemed to flow and become deeper.
"It's lit."
Nangong Ye said in a deep voice, with a hint of solemnity in his voice that he himself did not realize. He could feel that the power contained in this small ball was far more terrifying than he had imagined!
"Brother Aye! Throw it there! Throw it hard!"
Dongfang Yuning pointed at the corner tower excitedly.
Nangong Ye no longer hesitated. With a flick of his wrist, the silver ball infused with pure internal energy shot out like an arrow, cutting through the air. With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, it whizzed towards the high Fuying Corner Tower, which was now full of terrified faces, with incredible precision!
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the silver trail!
When the Fuying guard on the tower saw the flying stone, he was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter:
"Hahaha! Have the Yan people run out of tricks? Throwing stones?"
"Such a small stone? It's not even enough to tickle Grandpa!"
"Aim! Shoot that rock down for me! Don't let it dirty the turret!"
However, their laughter had not yet subsided——
The small silver ball suddenly lit up when it was more than ten feet away from the corner tower!
It wasn't fire! It was a pure, blinding white light that was impossible to look directly at.
Buzz——!!!
A roar so low that it seemed to come from the depths of the earth, yet it shook people's souls and made them tremble!
Then——
Boom—!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was a noise that could not be described in words, as if the sky was torn apart and the earth was pierced through!
Everyone's gaze was stunned, shocked, and then turned into boundless fear!
With the exploding white light as its core, a silver-white light ball with a diameter of only a few feet, but condensed to the extreme, expanded instantly!
The terrifying high temperature and shock wave, like an invisible hammer, smashed heavily on the magnificent corner tower!
No flames! No smoke! Only extreme light and devastating impact!
The corner tower, constructed of massive stone blocks and solid timber, was like an ice sculpture thrown into magma. Devoured by the silvery-white light, it silently… vaporized! Decomposed! Vanished!
The terrified guards and soldiers on the corner tower were instantly transformed into the most primitive particles without even a scream! They had never existed!
The light flashed and disappeared, as fast as an illusion!
But after the light disappeared, the scene left behind plunged the entire battlefield into deathly silence!
The highest corner tower of Kyoto's city wall, along with a large section of solid wall connected to it, completely disappeared!
All that was left was a huge semicircular gap several meters deep with smooth edges, as if it had been cut by the most precise laser!
The bricks and stones at the edge of the gap appeared in a strange glazed state, and even emitted wisps of green smoke!
And above the gap, there was a small, condensed miniature mushroom cloud composed of high-temperature steam and dust!
It was rising slowly! Against the backdrop of the azure sky, it looked particularly dazzling and... absurd!
Dead silence!
Absolute dead silence!
On the Yan Kingdom's side:
All the soldiers, including the battle-hardened generals, Crown Prince Nangong Chengqian, and even the knowledgeable Nangong Ye, were all as if under a spell!
Eyes wide open, mouths wide enough to fit a duck egg, and the sounds of dislocated jaws echoing in the air (psychologically)!
[Fuck…Fuck!!!!]
[Holy shit!!! What…what is that thing?!]
[The turret… is gone?! Simply… gone?! Not even a scrap left?!]
[Mushroom...Mushroom cloud?! Such a small...such a delicate mushroom cloud?!]
[Princess...Princess, what on earth is that thing in your hand?! This power...is ten thousand times more ferocious than a piece of adorable stuff!!!]
[Palm Thunder?! Is this a fucking Palm World-Destroying Cannon?!]
[Princess Fuxing... is not... the Goddess of Destruction!!!]
Prince Nangong Chengqian's mind went blank, with only one thought remaining:
[Little... little aunt... you call this moderately powerful and loud enough?! Isn't this... isn't this a bit too moderate?!]
Nangong Ye subconsciously tightened his arms around Dongfang Yuning, his deep eyes fixed on the smooth, still smoking, terrifying gap on the city wall, and the slowly rising miniature mushroom cloud, his heart filled with shock!
This power... this method of destruction... far exceeded his understanding! Ning'er's new toy... was too domineering! And... too charming!
On the walls of Fuying Kyoto:
The surviving defenders looked at the disappeared corner tower and the huge gap, and looked at the small mushroom cloud that symbolized absolute destruction... After a brief period of dead silence, there was complete collapse, hysterical crying and screaming!
"Devil! Devil!"
"Divine punishment! This is divine punishment!"
"The turret is gone! The generals are gone!"
"Run! Run! The Yan people have a magic method to destroy the world!"
"Your Majesty! Help!"
The city wall instantly became a mess, with people crying for their parents, throwing away their weapons and armor, and trampling on each other!
The Bushido spirit, the determination to die in battle, completely vanished before the sheer force of the force and the destructive power beyond comprehension! Only the most primitive fear of death remained!
Dongfang Yuning was also surprised by the effect and her mouth opened slightly, and then she was extremely excited:
[Wow!!! Little Zero Zero! Awesome! The effect! That mushroom cloud! Incredible! Art is explosion! The romance of micro-nuclear flats!]
AI Zero's cold voice sounded:
Mission accomplished. Target: Fuying Kyoto's corner tower and its attached personnel. Completely eliminated.
The explosion yield was controlled at 0.5 tons of TNT, and the damage radius was precisely controlled at 48.7 meters, causing no collateral damage to the main city wall structure. Commander, are you satisfied with the results?
System 118:
[Ding! Host! Outstanding effect! Shocking power MAX! Artistry SSS+! 'Palm Thunder Mini Version' debut KPI perfectly achieved! The Fuying defenders' SAN value is reduced to zero!]
(The system displays a slow-motion replay with a sci-fi silver filter, frozen on a miniature mushroom cloud) But host... your 'trial'... wasn't it a little too big?]
[Not too big, not too big! Just right!]
Dongfang Yuning was very proud.
Look, the main part of the wall is still there! The commercial land is saved! It's just a little too big... perfect, it saves us from blowing up the city gates! How eco-friendly!
She looked at the huge, smooth gap with increasing satisfaction.
Nangong Ye took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, looked down at the little woman in his arms whose face was flushed with excitement, and said in a barely perceptible hoarse voice:
"Ning'er...this palm thunder...is very good."
He paused and added,
"Next time... throw it farther."
He meant not to get so close to his army. Although the shock wave was well controlled, the pressure and light at that moment still made the warhorse a little uneasy.
Dongfang Yuning nodded obediently:
"Yeah! Got it!"
She stroked the Heart of the Future ring, looking at the crumbling defenders on the city wall and the huge entrance. A kind smile appeared on her face, and she raised the brass trumpet, and a clear voice resounded throughout the battlefield:
"Fuying's short and fat guys——! Did you get my cute greetings?!"
"The turret is just an appetizer! Open the city gates immediately! Lay down your weapons! Kneel and surrender!"
"otherwise--"
She drew out the tune, and her little hand touched the ring again, intentionally or unintentionally.
"My next shot, my dear, I guarantee it will be delivered precisely to the bedside of your Emperor! Let him also have a taste of... the sensation of ascending to heaven on the spot!"
The surviving defenders on the city wall: "!!!"
Looking at the jade-faced young master (the evil star) touching the ring, and then thinking about the horrific scene of the corner tower disappearing just now... a chill rushed from the soles of my feet to the top of my head!
"Surrender! We surrender!"
"Open the city gates quickly! Let the Yan Kingdom's heavenly soldiers in!"
"Don't throw it away! Don't throw it away again!"
Under the watchful eyes of the Yan Kingdom's army and amid the cries of the defenders' collapse, the heavy gate of Kyoto slowly and tremblingly opened...
The flag of Yan Kingdom is about to be hoisted on the city wall of Fuying Kyoto. And the legend about the silver "cutie" in the hands of the jade-faced young master, which can summon micro-divine punishment and destroy the city with the palm of his hand,
Faster than the speed of light, the news spread across the continent, bringing with it boundless awe and... absolute confidence in the future security of Yan Country's "International Grand Stall." After all, the stall owner had a "nuclear" bomb (a miniature version), so who would dare to cause trouble?
