Chapter 186 Awakening
Chapter 186 Awakening.
Soon after, the warship arrived at the depths of the sea.
General Edko pointed to the empty sea in the distance and said, "Now, witness a miracle."
Lergis nodded: "Let me see your confidence."
At the same time, in the cockpit.
"We have arrived at our destination."
"Radar scanning in progress..."
"Lightning scan complete. No humans detected ahead."
"It can be projected."
"Begin preparations."
"Start the countdown."

“3…”
It seems this isn't the first time the people here have done this.
Therefore, they did it very skillfully and decisively, without wasting any time at all.
At the very center of the warship, a large metal gate opened, and then a huge cannon barrel, seven or eight meters in diameter, extended out, pointing directly at the sea in front of the warship.
With a deafening roar, a massive black nuclear warhead shot out.
A huge hole suddenly appeared in the sky.
Then, a long, deep crack shot headlong into the distance.
"Hahaha, this is truly spectacular! This is an epic of human history!"
"Next, humanity will surely slay the gods."
"Then, step out of this world and into the vast universe to explore new worlds."
"Perhaps we can colonize numerous planetary worlds, and then, with mortal bodies, stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods. We can treat the gods as our playthings."
General Edko spread his hands and laughed wildly.
To Lergis, this scene appeared utterly insane.
"This is madness! A nuclear bomb is just a means of killing the ancient gods of destruction. We might not even survive the next cataclysmic disaster. A nuclear bomb can destroy the enemy, but it can also destroy ourselves. Madness, utter madness! Having gained some power, they've become arrogant and ignorant. This will lead humanity to hell. I absolutely cannot allow ambitious warmongers like you to hold high positions. Otherwise, perhaps without external enemies, you yourselves could destroy the world and completely exterminate humanity." Lyrgis made up her mind completely, and to avoid any problems, she planned to implement it as quickly as possible.
After all, madmen don't reason.
"Let the Awakened lead humanity. Because only the Awakened, chosen by the will of the world, will truly cherish this world." Lergis gave General Edko a meaningful look.
She turned her head to look straight ahead.
Time passed quickly, and half a minute went by.
Yes, this wave flew quite far.
The rumble sounded as if it came from a thousand miles away, or perhaps three thousand miles away.
The nuclear bomb fell and exploded.
An endless, terrifying heat spread out.
In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred miles of the sea had evaporated.
A terrifying mushroom cloud, so large it blotted out the sun and could be clearly seen from thousands of miles away, shot straight into the sky, creating an incredible spectacle.
That's not all; there are also gusts of hot air that transform into a raging torrent, carrying dazzling white light and fire, spreading recklessly.
The sea, a hundred miles away, also began to suffer.
From a distance, a large portion of the ocean appeared to be swallowed up by the heat and light.
The seabed, buried deep beneath the seawater, is appearing and disappearing indistinctly.
This explosive explosion lasted for more than ten seconds, continuously destroying an area of thousands of miles before finally coming to a near end.
But the aftershocks were still there, especially the seawater, which was churned up into waves tens of meters high, spreading in all directions.
Fortunately, this warship is better and taller.
Facing the impact of this wave.
The warship only trembled violently, showing no signs of capsizing.
A large amount of water splashed onto the deck.
The soldiers who stayed up there were all soaked to the bone.
A membrane of light appeared on Lergis's body, separating the seawater.
"How about it? How about it? Amazing, isn't it?" General Edco shouted to Lergis with a fanatical expression, "This is a miracle of mankind. When thousands of nuclear bombs appear, they can destroy the surface of the world."
“Indeed impressive.” Lergis nodded meaningfully.
"Hahaha." Edko laughed loudly when he saw that Lergis had given in. He felt a sense of triumph.
There was no way around it. As an ordinary person, although he held a high position and great power, the status of these awakened beings had always been extraordinary. No matter what their identity was, ordinary people were inferior to awakened beings.
Previously, we lacked the strength.
Therefore, they had no choice but to back down.
But deep down, they were always resentful.
But now, they have the ability.
With a large arsenal of heavy weapons and soldiers, plus a variety of nuclear bombs, the Awakened Ones are nothing to them.
“Actually, it’s not just this. The Kingdom’s Academy of Sciences has been secretly researching monsters all along, and now they’ve made some progress. Perhaps ordinary firearms can easily destroy monsters…” Edko continued, and his words shocked Lyrgis.
"We even analyzed the bloodlines of the monsters and studied their powers."
"Perhaps, we will soon master the magic of monsters and make everyone an awakened being."
Edko continued.
"In short, times have changed."
"The coming era does not belong to the awakened."
"The coming era will be an epic for all humankind."
...
But to everyone's surprise, Lergis's expression grew increasingly unpleasant upon hearing this.
“Then let me wait and see.” Lergis gave General Edko a deep look.
With a "whoosh," she released a white light, flashed into the sky, and left the place.
"Hmph, how rude. But you've sensed the danger, haven't you?" Adley was very displeased with Lergis's attitude.
However, he also felt that Lergis was "afraid".
However, Lergis wasn't actually afraid; rather, she was consumed by murderous intent. She feared that if she stayed any longer, she wouldn't be able to resist killing General Edko.
"Damn it, this is outrageous! You have no idea what the power of monsters represents. You're turning into degenerates like Loya. You're leading humanity to suicide."
"We can't wait any longer, we absolutely can't wait any longer."
“The awakened must rise to power and remove these ignorant rulers.”
Lergis was really flustered.
They study nuclear weapons, or even aspire to become superior beings.
Lergis could actually accept it.
But she couldn't accept humans acquiring the power of monsters.
This is a taboo for the awakened.
It is also a taboo for all mankind.
According to her understanding, if humans master magic, they will only become corrupted, becoming lackeys of the ancient gods who destroyed the world.
The thought that future humans, led by fools, will willingly accept the power of demons and become fallen beings must make the ancient gods of destruction from beyond the heavens ecstatic.
Lergis couldn't believe that the monsters they, the awakened ones, had fought so hard to eliminate and suppress were actually "accepted" by humans themselves.
...
A storm is about to engulf all of humanity.
This will inevitably send shivers down the spine of the world.
"Damn it, who the hell is throwing explosions around here?"
At the site of the nuclear bomb explosion, seawater surged in from all directions, then filled the evaporated waters back in.
If there weren't so many dead fish floating in the waters of this area.
So, who could have imagined that a huge explosion would happen here?
Of course, it must be acknowledged that the ocean's capacity is unimaginable. Even a nuclear explosion was submerged.
However, just because the ocean is tolerant doesn't mean that Loya is tolerant as well.
Yes, all these years, he has been hiding at the bottom of the sea, motionless, comprehending the laws of the microcosm of light.
It must be said that this progress is very encouraging.
Loya has now grasped the essence of "light".
Soon, he will definitely transform from "he" into "He".
Furthermore, the emergence of this microcosmic law of light has produced even more wonderful effects.
For example, the "Chaotic Taboo" that had been affecting him was suppressed by the laws of the microcosm of light, which suppressed its negative characteristics.
This can be considered as purifying Loya's uncontrollable "evil".
Loya returns to her most normal self.
But before he could even celebrate this great event, a nuclear explosion occurred right next to him.
If it weren't for his immense strength and his comprehension of the laws of the universe—which, although he hasn't truly become a god yet, is far beyond what he used to be—he might have been blown up in this attack.
"Whoosh!" Loya surged up from the seabed.
With a deafening roar, the sea, which had just calmed down, suddenly exploded.
A large amount of water sprayed into the air.
Because of the sunlight, this mixture of water and sunlight creates a large rainbow.
Today, Loya is white.
This has nothing to do with the light from Vierlan before; he simply obtained the Law of Light and was influenced by its power.
Of course, if he doesn't want to, he can certainly change it to other colors.
Loya's dragon eyes scanned all directions. Soon, it spotted the warships slowly returning in the distance.
The warship was useless to Loya; he saw through it with ease.
"Nuclear bomb?"
"So, you're the ones who disturbed me?"
Loya's tone was chilling.
Don't think that just because he comprehended the "law of the microcosm of light," which symbolizes beauty, he has become "light" himself.
His light is different from that of the Light Dragon Aiger, Vierlan...
"Explode." Loya's eyes widened slightly, a flash of white light appearing in them.
With a "boom," the nuclear missile inside the warship became unstable.
"Oh no, how could the nuclear bomb go out of control?" The weapons expert who had been guarding the nuclear bomb cried out in despair.
Unfortunately, no matter how you look at it, the explosion of the nuclear bomb was inevitable.
With a loud bang,
Endless bursts of light and fire erupted, and the sea trembled in response.
Huge mushroom clouds shot into the sky, seemingly about to tear a huge hole in it.
“This…” Lyrgis, who was walking away, stopped.
She stared in astonishment at the location of the nuclear explosion.
She really didn't expect that she would have another nuclear explosion so soon after leaving.
That was bad enough, but what really gave her the creeps was that this wave was too close.
She quickly enhanced her defenses, creating various light shields in front of her to block out any external threats.
Although she was affected here, this wasn't the core area, so she struggled a bit, but she successfully held them off.
"How could General Edko be so crazy? Did he detonate a nuclear bomb right next to him?"
Lergis made a silly joke.
Of course, she knew perfectly well that General Edko couldn't be that stupid.
"Something has definitely gone wrong."
Lergis took a deep breath and waited for the aftershocks of the nuclear explosion to subside before flying over.
Lergis's strength hasn't actually increased much over the years.
However, she was, after all, a national-level awakened individual.
In addition, her ability is "light." Therefore, her speed is still very fast.
In just over ten seconds, she reached her destination.
Perhaps it's because the nuclear explosion just ended, but it's very hot here, and the remaining seawater is boiling.
Many aquatic creatures were scalded.
In the distance, more seawater surged in, forcibly extinguishing the high temperature here.
However, the combination of heat and cold water also produced a large amount of water vapor.
In an instant, this place turned into a smog-filled area at sea.
"Alas, perhaps this is merely a case of nuclear missile going out of control?"
"Or perhaps, some strange and monstrous monster has attacked?"
Lergis observed for a while, but still couldn't find the reason.
There was nothing she could do but speculate.
However, the speculation was still uncertain, but she made up her mind.
“The research and development sites for nuclear weapons must be far away from human populations. Otherwise, if they get out of control again, they will inevitably cause serious harm to humanity.”
"Currently, the level of nuclear anti-nuclear weapons is still insufficient."
"We must increase research and innovation as soon as possible."
"Ideally, the nuclear weapons test sites should be located in areas affected by natural disasters. This world cannot withstand many nuclear weapons."
Lergis stared at the spot for a few last few seconds before flying away without looking back.
...
On the other side.
Loya didn't pay much attention to the nuclear explosion either.
After he detonated it, he flew away without stopping.
During this process, his body transformed into that of a white-haired youth.
He looks tall, strong, and quite handsome.
He then donned a black suit, which made him appear very gentlemanly.
With a "whoosh," Loya seemed to feel that the flight was not fast enough, and then disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, he found himself in a bustling metropolis.
Here, skyscrapers are everywhere.
The roads were filled with cars and pedestrians.
The scene here is somewhat similar to the state of civilization in his first life.
Loya walked down the street with his hands behind his back, looking at everything around him.
"It's developing quite fast."
"If it weren't for the threat of the ancient gods who would destroy the world, this place might actually be a very nice place."
Loya's face was filled with deep emotion.
"Hello, esteemed traveler from the outside world..." Suddenly, a gentle female voice sounded from behind Loya.
Loya turned around instinctively, only to be stunned.
What came into view was a beautiful woman wearing a white dress.
To be honest, Loya is a man of many experience, and this time he wasn't shocked by the woman's beauty. He simply noticed that the woman's appearance was very similar to that of Vierlan.
Or perhaps, the other person's appearance is what Vierlan would look like after she has fully grown up.
"Who are you?" Loya looked the other person up and down, a glint of white light flashing in his eyes. But to his surprise, he "couldn't see through him."
He couldn't see through the other person.
This made Loya feel wary and serious.
However, he was not afraid.
After all, this is just a clone of him.
However, this clone is quite powerful, almost becoming a god.
However, a clone is just a clone. Destroying it may affect the original body, but it will never be fatal.
Therefore, even if his clone dies, he is not afraid.
“You can call me Ye.” The woman seemed oblivious to Loya’s “peeping” and bowed slightly. “However, in this world, people prefer to call me the World Will.”
Upon hearing the last sentence, Loya suddenly understood.
"Hehe, how come you, a great man, have time to visit a nobody like me?" Loya asked, puzzled.
