940 [Bonus chapter] The Big Surprise
As I jumped using the help of the rope up to its top, I got to see something that blew off my mind!
“Damn! Damn cool!!!”
And I couldn’t help but mutter while watching what was going on down there.
I watched my rocket launcher shone in bright purple colour. It started from the back of this big truck and expanded fast to cover the entire rocket launcher.
When the entire weapon turned into a bright purple little star, I saw the barrels on the back shine brighter before its ends started to emit dazzling lights.
Then, like a machine gun, this rocket launcher launched many pulses of light in a short time. In less than a minute, I counted over a hundred pulses fired before the entire truck exploded.
*Boom!*
It was a violent explosion, but not enough to cause any damage to my nearby chariot. I shifted my eyes from this burning truck towards the horizon.
The pulses of light flashed and covered great distances in no time. I had to raise my chariot high in the air while hearing a series of explosions coming from far away.
The early missiles this truck launched arrived at the ground and started exploding fiercely there.
When I rose up for almost a mile, I got to see part of the devastation caused by this rocket launcher.
“Damn fierce!” I saw over a hundred mushroom clouds appearing from far while a gale of wind erupted. This attack was enough to clear an area of a mile at least each by my estimate.
Yet I had to inspect the true damage caused after everything settled.
“The range increased to over one hundred miles…” This was the first thing I noticed.
When I arrived at the site of the attack, I spotted deep holes in the ground, each was at least a few hundred metres in radius.
What did this mean? It meant the attack itself encompasses far more than this region. I saw the ground around dyed in dark purple and black colours, spanning for more hundreds of metres around.
It was my bad to not be closer to this region when the attack landed. I couldn’t tell how fierce this weapon had become, or determine the true area of attack it could target.
However I got to know one thing for sure, no matter what my team did they succeeded in it. What they lacked was just explosive nature ores, ones that could be used to show the true might of these weapons.
I returned back to see the rocket launcher already turned into charcoal black colour from flames. Most of its parts got damaged, and few got separated already.
“At least it handled the ore for one minute,” I didn’t know if they could increase the durability of what they placed inside, but they should do it.
The ore was like a container of energy. Once depleted, there would be no threat at all.
Just like what happened now. This ore was enough to cause a mass destruction explosion. And yet it only ruined this truck.
This… It was way weaker than the last time I saw it explode.
What did that mean? The pulse launched before the truck exploded exhausted a great deal of this ore energy.
So if they managed to modify the truck and made it sustain for a bit longer, enough to exhaust the entire energy of the purple ore, then this explosion wouldn’t happen.
Of course this was easier said than done. But luckily for me I got a small army of geniuses from different races and places, having various experiences, making this task a lot more feasible.
I took another round to check the results again before finally jumping over to the place of training camps.
The situation there remained the same. My seemingly endless troops were fighting monsters at the ocean non-stop.
“Time to go back and bring them here,” I knew I got done from one task, yet there was still one more remaining.
Where are your boys? but before that, I had to send the people I asked for from Angelica to that continent first.
They got to start building towns and cities, to prepare the place there for the development team to live in.
Told you, they are at the place of that bomb
They are already there?
Sure, do you think I’m not capable of doing this? Humph! You know you underestimate me too much, give me little care and credit, humph!
Thanks I felt that she was about to reopen that topic again, and try to get closer to me. So I hurriedly closed the chat, went towards the place where that purple ore exploded, and found lots of people there.
“Listen up,” I held my horn before adding, “you are going to another continent. You have one simple task there, build towns and cities like you always did. If you wanted to stay there then I won’t say no. If you want to come back here then wait for me to come and bring you back.”
I opened a portal at the ground, “pass through this portal here and it will take you to that continent. Good luck.”
I knew I had many hours before taking the development team towards that continent.
When I returned back to Earth, I knew I took lots more than I promised. However as I instructed them before leaving, I found thousands of brilliant minds waiting for me just outside the doors of my palace.
“Sorry for being late,” in a flash I appeared in front of them. When they saw my chariot appearing out of thin air, they all stood up from the ground, preparing themselves to leave.
“You, you, you, and you… Come here,” I pointed my glaive towards Moore, Wolf, that blonde girl from MIT and old Gan before the four of them boarded my chariot.
“Listen… We will first go to a place where you’ll see what a true war looks like,” I said in warning before adding, “and as you four are the leaders of my research department, you’ll all get something extra to help you lead and organise things there.”
*Fwoosh!*
