Chapter 910 - Blue Light (1/2)

While America had their own problems to deal with, China was busy with theirs.

First and foremost, they had a problem with power supply. China's military power was not as strong as America's and without Jiang Fei, they would have lost the war. The problem with power supply was with the offensive weapons. Their defense was strong but it needed the power supply to be redirected from the entire country to power up their defenses. Right then, most of their main attack forces were rendered useless due to insufficient power. With China's current naval fleet, they would never win against America in an all-out war.

China still had one option left on the table, and that was nuclear strike. However, using it was another problem. American's defenses were not as perfect as China's but they still had strong turrets that could bring down many ICBMs before they could even re-enter the atmosphere. Additionally, China's nuclear storage was not as large as America's. They were enough to pose a threat but not enough to completely annihilate the entire country.

Hence, if their goal was to completely destroy America and did not have the means or method to do it, they could still instill fear into the hearts of Americans by showing off the power of their massive Antimatter Cannon. Although the Antimatter Cannon could not be compared to the area of destruction of a nuclear weapon, it was far deadlier since the destructive capability was instantaneous. There was literally no way of knowing when it would be fired nor any means of stopping it. Nuclear ICBMs were lethal but it could still be stopped by many methods available then.

The thing was… China had only one shot at it and American did not know about that. The cold hard truth was that China no longer have any other arsenals to play with and America could still turn the table around if they wanted to bring an end to it. It was similar to the case during World War Two when Americans dropped two nuclear bombs in Japan. While the American did not have anymore bombs, the Japanese surrendered immediately, thinking that there might be a third strike.

Right now, America was facing a greater threat than nuclear bombs. The destructive power of the beam weapon was so powerful that if China had intended to fire a second or subsequent shots, they could literally erase the entire American continent from the face of the world.

If both nations had to resort to the traditional nuclear arsenals, all the important people could hide in emergency bunkers and survive the nuclear fallout. Both nations could still use their hidden nuclear arsenals that were kept secret from the world to fight again until one or both sides were eradicated. However, the weapon that China had just revealed to the world was so strong that a bunker would be nothing but an oversized metal coffin.

An entire island was destroyed and there were too many dead to be counted. However, collateral damage was literally invented by the Americans and if they did not want civilian casualties, they should not have started the war in the first place.

When Open Island was destroyed, American had lost four Military Bases of Operations and also the entire Pacific Ocean. For there on out, Pacific Ocean was now in the hands of the Chinese. Nie Shilong had literally claimed the entire Pacific Ocean for China in just one shot. It was literally the most well-deserved shot ever fired in the history of naval warfare.

”Call back all assets…” said the President after he had enough with the war. Everyone in the Pentagon was silent. No one dared to interject that order as they realized that they were no match for China. It was lucky that they did not target the Pentagon itself or else they would not be breathing then.

The order went down the chain of command and all the naval fleets that were still on standby in deep sea set course for home. There was no other way to face China and their technology. By doing so, they had figuratively handed over the seat to the world over to China. It was a shameful act but it was far better than being at war to the very end with China.

While the American military were retreating, the Mutants that were still at war with China's martial artists were left behind! At that moment, the fight between the two sides was at its climax. Out of 500, there were only 300 martial artists left. As for the Mutants, only 1,500 out of 5,000 survived. Both sides were equally battered.

While the battle was still raging on, loud engine noises could be heard coming from the skies.
