227 Reincarnate 1 (1/2)

Chapter 227: Reincarnate 1

Radiation blanketed every inch of the sky, raining in from all directions.

After the explosion settled, the aftershock came seconds later. An impossibly bright flash blinded everyone within the proximity.

Most had already escaped to their boats just outside the Smoke Island. Those who were looking at the Smoke Island were blinded by the light and were no longer see anything but darkness afterwards.

On a white boat.

The King of Nightmares and Andrela were standing quietly at the edge of the ship as they looked at the mushroom cloud rising in the distance. Both of them had a rather ugly expression on their faces.

Although the both of them had avoided being blinded by the explosion with their inhuman reactions, it was not because of this that they bore the ugly expressions in their faces.

Andrela gripped the handrail with both of his hands, so tightly that his fingerprints were faintly imprinted onto the metal.

”It’s a nuclear bomb… It’s definitely the people from Weisman!!”

”That was a small one, I heard that their experiment had succeeded not long ago, but I hadn’t expected it to be put to the test this soon…” The King of Nightmares stared at the shockwave travelling from the mushroom cloud and said. ”Their motive wasn’t to kill the people on the island. They were trying to the eruption of the giant volcano on Smoke Island!”

Boom!!

The boats out at sea were like paper boats following shockwave, rocking about, risking capsize at any minute.

Navy personnel started to stabilize the boats and ignite the engine to accumulate distance from the island.

The mushroom cloud refused to dissipate, sending a column of black smoke soaring into the sky.

Boom!!

It was another vibrating roar. Red halation emerged from the sky above Smoke Island.

The halation spread out and rained down in all directions. To shock, what fell was in fact red and black lava!

lava rained down everywhere, large amounts of viscous liquid swiftly flooded the whole island, turning the island fire red.

Blankets of black volcanic ash spread out and covered the sky, spreading out thousands kilometers into the horizon.

The few boats that were too close to the island were overturned by a rogue wave. Still others were caught in the rain of lava, and were either broken in half or engulfed in flames.

The boat that carried the King of Nightmares and Andrela was hit by a swathe of lava in the middle, and broke in two.

The sound of screams were completely drowned in the seemingly ceaseless roar of the eruption.

Light from the sun in the sky was completely snuffed out by the thick smoke and volcanic ash. It was impossible to tell between night and day.

The blue surface of the sea was completely covered with volcanic ash and black debris, resembling a blue handkerchief littered and stained with blank ink.

Boats engulfed in flame were small red dots floating on the sea, glowing faint red embers of fire.

The King of Nightmares and Andrela, each with a person on their backs, immediately swam away from the range of destruction of the volcano.

Even so, the toxic smoke emitting from volcano kept invading their lungs. They all knew in their hearts that no matter how strong Garen was, he might not have survived such a terrifying natural disaster.

Majority of the experts were caught in the disaster, unable to escape in time. Only one in ten had managed to got out of range. Weisman’s objective had finally been achieved.

They managed to kill most of the high level masters from all over the world. It was an ideal condition to use the latest technology they had on hand.

In but a fraction of a second, the world had incorrigibly changed.

****************

Black...

Everything in front of him was pitch black…

The last memory Garen had was of him releasing all of his anger, sending his fist at the bomb in the sky.

He knew the objective of the enemy was to ignite the volcano.

Smoke Island was practically the world’s largest volcano, as most of the volcano’s structure was under the ocean. Its volume was shockingly immense. The entire Smoke Island was actually the volcano’s crater, and was of the incessant mist on the island. This was a sign that it had been on the cusp of an eruption.

As the gigantic volcano erupted, the small, neighbouring countries were affected. The air pollution caused by it would severely alter the structure of the planet.

Garen thought that Weisman had underestimated the volcano’s destructive power and scale, and had decided to act in such a reckless manner.

However, none of this mattered anymore. What’s important now was the question of his current situation.

He wanted to move his body, but realized that he no longer had the concept of limbs. It was as if his body was in a deep sleep, and his brain was not fully awake and thrown into chaos.

His surrounding was pitch black; there was nothing to see.

In his last moments when his body was disintegrated, he could still feel the immense pain just from recalling this fresh memory. He clearly remembered his body completely melted by the intense heat.

In the instant the volcano erupted, it felt like the earth was in rage, and Smoke Island, which was the crater, unleashed a limitless amount of white and gold magma. The thousand-degree lava had completely melted him instantly.

In actuality, he had a feeling that he wouldn’t be able to escape the moment he saw the bomb.

If it was just an ordinary, powerful bomb, he had no reason to be afraid as he was confident in his resistance to heat. As long as it wasn’t core temperature, the most he would be affected by was the debris and shockwave from the explosion.

However, it wasn’t just any bomb, it was a nuclear bomb. Although it hadn’t been fully developed yet, it was still a nuclear bomb. Furthermore, the issue was not this but that Smoke Island was a giant volcano on the verge of eruption.

The nuclear bomb was nothing but a catalyst.
