High in the sky above the ground, a huge plane was flying at high speed. It differed from the fighter jets; this plane was much bigger. Its wings spanned several dozen meters.

It was not an ordinary plane but a bomber, specifically, the first bomber developed by the Astra Militarum: the B-29 Superfortress.

Specifically for this "destruction plan," the pilot was an experienced and highly skilled 30-year-old man. Before taking off, he was already prepared for the worst. He left his will and delivered his final words. He was well aware of the dangers of this operation, but he did not have any hesitation and took the initiative to accept the mission.

The B-29 took off from the Royal Tombs Mountain Range airfield and entered the planetary passage. It flew a distance of several kilometers toward Leif Island.

[ ===== ]

Through the route ahead, Sebastian was now also able to make an initial determination. This world was a Level 3 planet, and Vice Admiral Leif was not the most powerful supernatural being here.

Above Leif, there were more powerful existences, but that had nothing to do with the Astra Militarum as long as they didn't interfere with their actions.

"A Level 3 planet, a Level 2 supernatural, probably the peak supernatural in Level 2. No wonder no one ever passes the Eternal Level missions." By now, Sebastian had some clarity in his mind.

This mission was almost impossible to complete. Level 1 masters had their Level 1 supernatural energy restricted to death; at most, they could defeat a Level 2 supernatural. Leif's attack power was not top-notch, but the defensive power of his body was extreme. He was the peak existence among Level 2 beings.

If the Astra Militarum did not have the ultimate weapon, the nuclear bomb, then there would be nothing they could do about it.

[ ===== ]

The B-29 carried the final product of the Astra Militarum's atomic program for the past ten years: a nuclear bomb weighing several hundred kilograms. During an earlier conquest of an alien planet, the Astra Militarum had successfully tested one. This was the second time, and the first live detonation.

As the B-29 flew through the air, approaching the island, Fleming, Ewart, Stenger, and others stood up one after another, tense.

"Wait, listen for my command. As soon as I give the order, you will immediately activate your abilities!" Fleming stared at Jonathan; his expression was more serious than ever.

The nuclear bomb was ready, but it still needed Jonathan's ability to cooperate. It was their only chance.

The surrounding air felt slightly chilly; even Jonathan, who usually had a smiling face, recognized the seriousness of the matter. He immediately nodded vigorously and said, "I know; I won't drop the ball."

Behind him, Susanna was also nervous. She did not know what the destruction plan that Fleming mentioned entailed. But seeing the expression on Fleming's face, it was clear he was not joking. These people from the outer world probably had even more powerful weapons.

After instructing Jonathan, Fleming and the others picked up binoculars and stared intently at the sky above. While gazing upward, they noticed a small black dot appear in the sky.

"It's coming!" All the officers of the Astra Militarum clenched their fists slightly.

[ ===== ]

The bomber flew at high speed and quickly crossed the cloudless sky for miles, approaching Leif Island. The sudden appearance of the B-29 caught the attention of Yasha, Kidd, Paul, and Leif. With their strength, they noticed this small black dot in the sky.

"Hmm? What is this?" The three supernovas were puzzled, looking at the strange flying object.

Leif also looked up, his curiosity piqued!

[ ===== ]

When the bomber flew over Leif, the pilot took a deep breath. Even after dozens of training runs, he still could not help but feel nervous. In the next moment, his right hand smoothly and forcefully pressed the bomb drop button.

A hole opened up under the bomber, and an oval-shaped warhead slowly emerged from the exit. Immediately after, from a height of ten kilometers, it fell.

After doing all this, the pilot immediately maneuvered the plane to leave far away. Once affected by the power of the explosion, even a plane at a high altitude might be affected.

[ ===== ]

At this moment, not only the Astra Militarum, the three supernovas, and Leif, but even Sebastian was watching carefully. The actual nuclear bomb weighed hundreds of kilograms, and they filled it with uranium-235.

According to the conversion of energy, the energy of a kilogram of uranium-235 detonating was equivalent to 20,000 tons of conventional gunpowder explosive energy. However, the bombs developed by the Astra Militarum could not fully utilize uranium; only a portion of it would detonate. This nuclear bomb was equivalent to 300,000 tons of gunpowder explosion, and this was also the largest yield they could produce.

The nuclear bomb fell from a height of 10 kilometers, its speed increasing rapidly.

[ ===== ]

At this time, Fleming immediately said, "Jonathan, use your abilities!"

"Yes!" Jonathan sensed the urgency in Fleming's tone and immediately unleashed his fruit ability.

Jonathan's ability was imprisonment. As the name implied, he could form a prison in a short amount of time, preventing anything inside from getting out.

This ability had almost no frontal combat power. Its primary function was to serve an auxiliary effect, but it was the king of support abilities.

This was also the main reason Jonathan was arrested and imprisoned on Jail Island; an ordinary commander like Modo couldn't even detach him from his powers.

Fleming understood this unique ability of Jonathan. The prison's range could reach up to ten kilometers, turning the surrounding area into a prison. Everything inside this prison was trapped and could not escape.

And it was an indiscriminate force. Whether there were ordinary people, Modo, supernovas, or a top powerhouse like Leif, none could escape the prison trap. If used on a stronger opponent, the effect time would be shortened.

"If I trap Leif, the effect of my prison will last for only about five minutes!" Jonathan was concerned that Fleming might not remember, so he reminded him.

"Don't worry; even one minute will be enough," Fleming reassured him, knowing this time limit well.

The prison's range applied not just to the ground, but also to the sky. While not wide, it did encompass a five-kilometer radius.

"See that black dot in the sky? Wait until it gets within the range of your prison, and then you can shrink the range," Fleming instructed.

"Okay." Jonathan nodded.

This was also the second part of his ability; it could perform range scaling. The maximum expansion range was ten kilometers, and the minimum contraction range was extremely small.

A crucial point was that anything previously trapped in the prison would remain there even after resizing. However, with his current ability, he could only choose a few objects; it was impossible to carry all items within ten kilometers after narrowing the range.

"Just trap Leif and that black dot in the sky; shrink it as small as you can; you don't need to worry about the rest!" Fleming explained.

Jonathan did not respond verbally, but he listened intently. At that moment, he focused fully on the rapidly falling black dot above him, ignoring what it might be. Following Fleming's instructions, he prepared to perform a range contraction as soon as the object entered the prison's sphere.

The next moment astonished the Astra Militarum. They saw the high-speed descending bomb being pulled over in a strange manner. Originally, it was still nearly a kilometer away from Leif in the massive pit. But under Jonathan's ability, it slowly moved closer, maintaining its speed.

[ ===== ]

"With the Imperium's current level of technology, this cannot be explained." Sebastian watched with curiosity, though not greatly surprised; after all, the main world had all kinds of even more incredible supernatural phenomena.

[ ===== ]

5 kilometers!

4 kilometers!

3 kilometers!

2 kilometers!

The bomb was drawn closer to Leif, its speed increasing.

At this moment, Leif was still standing in that deep pit, showing no movement. Following the previous explosion, although Leif had a robust physique and did not suffer serious damage, he was still experiencing the tremors in his body, like being hit hard by someone; nothing was harmed, but he still needed to rest for a while.

Leif's current situation mirrored that; he stood quietly at the bottom of the pit, taking a moment to regain his composure, while he turned his head.

Looking up at the high-speed bomb descending from the sky, Jonathan was desperately using his ability. However, facing the high-speed bomb, he also seemed somewhat fatigued. He gritted his teeth; blood dripped from Jonathan, but he held on for dear life.

1 kilometer.

At this time, the speed of the falling bomb had reached over 600 meters per second!

Jonathan mustered the last bit of energy and positioned the bomb with Leif. He shrunk it down to a range of one hundred meters. In an instant, the bomb reached the top of Leif's head and detonated with a bang.

Leif still held a trace of curiosity on his face as he looked at this oval, strange object; he did not know what he was about to face.

[ ===== ]

In the distance, on the fleet of the Astra Militarum, the guardsmen had been given orders from above. They lay down on the ground, covering their heads and ears, then turned their backs toward Leif Island.

And far away on the Commander-Class Battleship, Fleming and the others had also donned specially designed goggles early on. He also provided Jonathan and Susanna with a pair.

The three supernovas on Leif Island, although unclear about what the falling black dot was, sensed an ominous danger that warned them of its terrifying potential.

When the black dot was less than a kilometer away from the massive Leif, they instinctively and unanimously retreated backward. They fled quickly toward the outer edge of the island.

Fear! It was an unprecedented terror! A fear that words could not describe! Gradually, it filled their minds.

They no longer cared about their pride.
