Ninth-tier magic, nuclear explosion, is a real-tier magic in the game "YGGDRASIL". Its effect is to cause a composite damage of 50% each of fire attribute and physical attribute.
It has the lowest single-target damage among magic of the same level, but has the highest magic range of all magic, and can inflict strong knockback, poisoning, blindness, deafness and other abnormal states.
In the words of the game, it is a noble AOE skill that is specifically used to clear small monsters.
And when the game turned into reality, the magic of "nuclear explosion" turned into a real nuclear explosion.
In just a moment, the sky above the entire ecological city was lit up by an intense light that far exceeded that of the sun.
Within a radius of one kilometer, all objects illuminated by the strong light, whether they were reinforced concrete or alloy hovercrafts, were vaporized by the high temperature in an instant.
All humans in buildings, vehicles, and helicopters were completely turned into charred corpses before they could even feel any pain.
Then, a powerful shock wave madly swept in all directions with Suzuki Satoru's position as the center, destroying all the tall buildings including the one under Suzuki Satoru's feet.
The reinforced concrete buildings first collapsed like sand castles on the beach, and then turned into countless streams of gravel that were blown away by the shock wave.
Extremely dense, high-temperature smoke rose up, forming a small mushroom cloud in the center of the ecological city.
In the civilian neighborhoods outside the eco-city, countless civilians were either standing on the streets or in front of the windows, staring at the bright light in the distance in a daze, as if they had finally remembered the terror of the nuclear explosion cloud two centuries ago.
To be honest, if it was a real nuclear explosion, those humans who dared to look directly at the center of the explosion would have been blinded by the strong light.
But now, Suzuki Satoru released magic that imitated a nuclear explosion after all.
And things like magic often have a fixed damage range.
The 'nuclear explosion' magic released by Suzuki Satoru has a killing range of five kilometers. All objects and lives within the range will be harmed, but lives outside the range will not be affected.
He had already calculated that a range of five kilometers would just cover the entire complex of the enemy company, including its headquarters.
Although indiscriminate magic would inevitably hurt innocent people, he no longer cared about that.
Anyway, those who have the conditions to live in ecological cities are all the wealthy class who exploit the lower class people.
If we kill them all, there might be some innocent people, but if we kill half of them, there will definitely be some that slip through the net.
Moreover, the new Ainz Ooal Gown created by Suzuki Satoru also needs such an earth-shaking event to officially stand on the world stage.
Outside the range of the nuclear explosion, the professor and fourteen other people stared blankly at the rising mushroom cloud, their eyes filled with uncontrollable shock.
As top players of "YGGDRASIL", they naturally know the magic of "nuclear explosion", but the special effects in the game are ultimately not as shocking as the real effects.
"Yes, that's it!"
Ulbert was the first to break the silence, looking at the mushroom cloud with fanatic eyes and said: "Surpassing everything, incomparable power!"
"Only by mastering this power can we destroy this sinful society and build a Garden of Eden that truly belongs to all people!"
Hearing Ulbert's fanatical words, the professor, Cui Yulu and Bunu Meng couldn't help but glance at him.
The former sighed inwardly, wondering whether he should find an opportunity to let Suzuki Satoru have a good talk with Ulbert, so as to prevent Ulbert from really taking an extreme path from which there would be no turning back in the future.
"Boy, what a big game!"
A sound of amazement suddenly came from behind the crowd.
The fourteen members of Ainz Ooal Gown turned around abruptly and looked warily in the direction of the sound.
Many members, including Ulbert, glowed with magical light, and were obviously ready to take action.
"It's me."
The tall and heroic young man crossed his arms and descended from the sky with a smile on his face.
When the professor saw Bai Lang's face, he was immediately shocked and quickly took action to stop the others' actions.
"Don't be impulsive, he is Mr. Bai!"
"...Mr. Bai?"
"Is that Mr. Bai?"
The others were slightly startled, then suddenly realized what was happening.
After the professor calmed everyone down, he walked over with a respectful look.
"Mr. Bai, why are you here?"
"I'm here to see what big news you guys have made~"
Bai Lang answered with a smile while looking at the bright light and mushroom cloud in the distance.
"Tsk, tsk, this is really big news... Is there a reason?"
"have."
The professor nodded and quickly told him about Beruliba.
After listening to this, Bai Lang nodded in sudden enlightenment, and then sighed with some disappointment.
"So you're here to avenge your friend. I thought you guys had encountered some powerful enemy."
"…Are you referring to the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick?"
The professor looked at Bai Lang steadily and asked.
Bai Lang was slightly startled, and asked thoughtfully: "Do you have any clues?"
The professor exchanged a glance with the Jade Record beside him. The latter straightened his collar and stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Bai, I am a member of the New Ainz Ooal Gown, codenamed 'Jade Record'. We have already investigated the mission you entrusted to Ainz Ooal Gown."
"We don't have much intelligence so far, but there is some that you will definitely be interested in."
Bai Lang asked with great interest: "Tell me about it."
Cui Yulu said softly, "We found out that the game YGGDRASIL is still operating secretly after it was shut down."
"The one who bought YGGDRASIL was a large game company in North America. When the game was shut down a year ago, they spent a lot of money to buy all the game data and used the company's servers to secretly operate a private server for the game."
"We caught a planning employee they recruited, and learned from him that more special professions and world-class props have been added to the private server, and the effects are extremely powerful, even outrageous."
"So, we speculate that this company may know about the time travel of game players."
"They bought the game, operated private servers, and added more powerful professions and props, perhaps just to simulate the process of time travel, trying to travel to another world with these things."
"But so far, this company has not had any successful cases of crossing."
"But we feel that they must be aware of the time travel incident, and they are likely to have a close connection with the enemies of the two gentlemen..."
After hearing the information provided by Cui Yu Lu, Bai Lang touched his chin thoughtfully.
Buying outdated games that have been shut down, spending a lot of money to operate private servers, creating more professions and world-class props, this behavior really seems like being an insider of the time travel event.
However, Bai Lang did not think that this was the Lord God's own intention.
He felt that this was probably another act of the Lord God's agent.
"Another agent of the Lord God... Why are these small fry always more aggressive than the boss?"
Bai Lang had a headache. He had no interest in the game company or the mastermind behind it. However, he was impressed by the intelligence gathering skills shown by the members of Emerald Jade Record and Ainz Ooal Gown.
After all, he had been in the Cultivation Department for so many days and had not seen any relevant information.
Suzuki Satoru and his companions were looking for their companions while investigating intelligence, and they were able to find out such secrets.
...It is indeed worth investing!
Bai Lang nodded secretly.
At this moment, a violent explosion occurred again at the center of the nuclear explosion.
It seemed that Suzuki Satoru had taken action once again, causing secondary destruction to the ruins after the nuclear explosion.
Bai Lang looked up in surprise, his blue eyes pierced through the thick mushroom cloud and saw the center of the nuclear explosion.
Suzuki Satoru's entire body was covered in various magically enhanced buff lights, with strong light bursting from his palms, continuously bombarding the sky ahead.
This is the seventh-tier magic [Sunburst], a range-type attack magic that can cause massive damage to evil creatures and undead. The lower the Justice value of the attacked player or NPC, the more damage will be inflicted.
When the magic is activated, it will shine like the sun and explode into a scorching ball of light.
After releasing [Sunshine Burst] several times in succession, Suzuki Satoru flashed and used [Upper Teleport] to create some distance, then looked at the place that was bombarded by magic as if facing a formidable enemy.
There, a beautiful woman in a white dress was floating quietly, holding a pitch-black scepter in her hand. Behind her slender waist, there was a pair of pitch-black wings that closed and covered her lower body...
"Albedo?"
Bai Lang looked at Albedo's figure in surprise, and then he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and revealed a sinister smile.
"TNND, I finally caught you!"
"I thought you guys would never show up again!"
…
…
At the same time, in the thick smoke and dust, Albedo was suspended in the air holding the world-class item [True Nothingness], her red lips slightly raised, looking down at Suzuki Satoru in front of her with a proud expression.
"I was just passing by by chance, but I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing."
"Humble and insignificant human, tell me, why do you master high-level magic?"
Suzuki Satoru floated in the air silently, looking at Albedo with complicated and vigilant eyes.
Seeing the chief guardian of the Great Tomb of Nazarick again, Suzuki Satoru was both surprised and delighted.
He was happy that the guy who replaced him did not mistreat these NPCs, but he was shocked by Albedo's strength and dangerousness.
As President Ainz Ooal Gown who knows all of Albedo's settings and has personally modified some of them, Suzuki Satoru is fully aware that he is absolutely no match for Albedo at the moment.
Furthermore, according to the setting, she is deeply in love with the player 'Flying Squirrel', so it is impossible for Suzuki Satoru to prove his identity and convince Albedo to turn against him.
Because he is now a human being, not the Ruler of Death, any remarks involving the Supreme Being would not only fail to convince Albedo, but would make her extremely angry, thinking that the human being in front of her is humiliating the Supreme Being.
"…What should I do? Is the only way I can do is to escape?"
Suzuki Satoru was anxiously thinking of a countermeasure.
At this moment, a tall figure appeared behind Albedo as if by teleportation.
Suzuki Satoru was slightly startled, and then he saw the man grinning and swinging his fist.
“Puff——”
Blood splattered everywhere, and the smile on Albedo's face disappeared. Instead, she lowered her head in a daze, staring at the fist that pierced her towering chest.
"You underestimated the enemy, little girl..."
Bai Lang chuckled, pulled his right fist out of Albedo's chest, grabbed the black scepter with his left hand, and kicked Albedo's back with his right foot.
"Bang——"
With a bloody hole on her chest, Albedo turned into a stream of light and fell rapidly toward the ground.
Bai Lang played with the black scepter and said with great interest: "Is this the world-class item [True Nothingness]?"
"The item is great, it belongs to me now!"
