I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal
Chapter 514 - 316: The World Became Quiet

Chapter 514: Chapter 316: The World Became Quiet

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the Earth’s surface was instantly torn apart, forming a bottomless pit.

The buildings of the Black Tide Alliance Branch were shattered in an instant, and the surrounding trees were uprooted and destroyed.

The force of the shockwave even turned the nearby uninhabited areas into rubble.

The light from the explosion illuminated the entire night sky, and the flames quickly spread, forming a sea of fire.

A huge mushroom cloud slowly rose.

It obscured the starry sky tonight.

Within it, dust and flames combined to form a terrifying yet spectacular scene.

...

In the bustling urban areas some distance away,

the massive explosion and the shaking of the ground occurred nearly simultaneously, as if the whole world was trembling.

People in the distance could feel the force too. Buildings shook, windows shattered, and many were startled and fell to the ground.

At this moment,

everyone realized that the meteor that appeared more than ten seconds ago was not a good omen.

They stared dumbly at the mushroom cloud rising in the distance, which was visible from here, and couldn’t help but raise a bunch of questions.

Is this the real-life version of "Your Name"? Did that meteor likely create a huge pit that might turn into a lake in the future?

This was what the fans thought.

But those who were knowledgeable about history and the world situation had another idea.

Could it be...

World War III had begun?

As everyone knows,

Hua Country’s strength is now among the top in the world.

If they joined World War III, they would bulldoze their way to achieve the only two goals their entire nation awaited.

The first was to reclaim.

The second was revenge.

And their target for revenge was undoubtedly Japan.

Educated Japanese people were all aware.

If Hua Country initiated a public vote policy, and launched it at nine in the morning, nuclear weapons would hit Japan by 9:15.

Thinking of this,

some culturally educated Japanese couldn’t help but shiver.

It was not surprising they thought that way.

After all, they were the only country in the world that had suffered from nuclear weapons, which caused them severe PTSD from seeing the rising mushroom cloud.

Looking at the long-lasting mushroom cloud in the distance,

it was hard for some people in Japan not to wonder whether they had been defeated at the speed of light and then were hit by a "happy bullet."

If so,

with the massive radiation from it, could they even stay in this area?

Pondering,

some people started trying to distance themselves.

However, most remained quiet; their minds blank for a moment.

It was not just the people in the Black Tide Alliance Branch who quieted down.

The people in the city who saw the mushroom cloud and heard the loud noise also voluntarily fell silent.

So did the major countries around the world that could monitor the situation here.

One might even say the entire world

became quiet because of the meteor that flashed across the sky.

Chen Yun’s sudden crash made all the major countries profoundly recognize how formidable a superhuman capable of flying ten times the speed of sound was.

This was essentially a space-based weapon.

Space-based weapons refer to advanced weapon systems deployed in Earth’s orbit that can attack ground targets from space.

These weapons can be categorized into several types, including anti-satellite weapons, kinetic interceptors, and directed energy weapons.

Among them, "God’s Staff" is a hypothetical space-based kinetic weapon, whose basic concept involves using the principle of free fall to release a rod made of high-density material from space. It relies on the massive kinetic energy obtained during its descent to strike ground targets.

This weapon doesn’t need explosives to cause immense destruction because when the rod hits the ground at a speed close to the first cosmic velocity (approximately 7.9 kilometers per second), it produces a massive shockwave and heat effect.

Why is it called "God’s Staff"?

Because this name stems from a metaphor, suggesting a sudden and devastating punishment from God falling upon the target.

It hints at the tremendous power and unpredictability of this weapon.

Strike anywhere.

Not only unstoppable but also tremendously powerful.

Even if Hua Country, Russia, and Lighthouse Country, the three major countries, had a psychological preparation for the power Chen Yun might exhibit, by observing and calculating indirectly,

and had already wisely chosen to surrender.

But when they witnessed it with their own eyes, they couldn’t help but be shocked enough to swallow their saliva.

Hua Country, Russia, and Lighthouse Country, being powerful enough to monitor involving the atmospheric heights and covering many areas globally,

had known about Chen Yun’s existence long before.

This time when Chen Yun took off from northern Norway,

they were almost the first to notice the disturbance.

Although they clearly understood Chen Yun’s strength based on the depth of a major country and therefore chose to surrender immediately,

when they monitored Chen Yun taking off,

they still couldn’t help but keep their monitoring department fully focused.

It wasn’t a lack of respect.

Their actual emotions were very complex.

This included not only curiosity about the superhuman

but also a strong sense of fear.

It felt like when Asian countries learn that India had launched a long-range missile,

fearing it would fall on their heads.

Ten times the speed of sound was no joke.

However, after Chen Yun flew for a while and headed out of the atmosphere, Hua Country, Russia, and Lighthouse Country finally relaxed.
