-----------
On a cliff at the edge of Leif Island, Yasha, Paul, Kidd, and the others subconsciously fell. They didn't care about their reputation anymore; they only knew that if they didn't get down, they might die.
Seeing the dazzling light that illuminated everything in the world flash, all three couldn't help but turn their heads. They wanted to see what had happened back there. The last time, many tons of gunpowder exploded, leaving them a little surprised. This time, with the nuclear bomb, it was a shock. It was beyond their imagination that in this world, there was still such great power.
In their line of sight, a ball of fire, more dazzling than the red sun in the sky, rose and released extraordinary heat. The pressure around it increased higher in the atmosphere and quickly expanded in all directions in the form of ray radiation. It heated the surrounding air and became high-temperature, high-pressure plasma, emitting terrifying radiation.
Immediately after that, a huge shock wave formed from the center of the explosion and swept in all directions, encountering nothing to stop it. For the small lake closest to the center of the explosion, the water inside it instantly evaporated, leaving not a drop.
The surrounding mountains, rivers, forests, meadows, fields, and buildings fragmented inch by inch under this dreadful shock wave and high temperature. Mountains and rivers crumbled; the trees in the forest were destroyed, and one by one, buildings fell helplessly. Immediately after that, the fearsome heat struck, igniting vegetation and trees!
Leif's huge palace, which had taken several years to construct, collapsed under such tremendous power.
"Get down!" Yasha, realizing the situation was dire, subconsciously shouted, his voice shaking.
Paul and Kidd, with little hesitation, hastily headed down to the bottom of the cliff.
The violent shock wave came in the next moment, sweeping all the trees and boulders above the cliffs into the sky. Some small vegetation and rocks were even destroyed and turned into pieces.
Despite being several kilometers from the center of the explosion, the three of them still felt the impact. The shock wave continued onward, heading out of Leif Island.
Clatter!
The boats that stayed at the entrance of the bay, as if they had encountered a frightening wave, rocked violently in the water below, creating huge waves. A small fishing boat was even snapped in half. Not far away, hundreds of ships under the Supernovas suffered as well.
Click, click, click…
Crackling…
On the pirate ship, the glass facing Leif Island shattered, and shards splattered everywhere. Doors, railings, decks, etc.—the vast majority were lifted off the ground. Hundreds of people were standing on the deck, the pirates who were watching the three Supernovas and Leif fight.
At first, they were blinded by the dazzling light. Now they were even more affected by this hurricane-like shock wave, flying into the air. They drew a high arc in the sky and landed heavily in the water.
But this time, no one thought to save them. In front of the threat of death, the remaining pirates hid under any objects that could conceal them. They cowered and shivered, not daring to breathe.
[ ===== ]
In the sea a few dozen kilometers away from Leif Island.
Three Commander-Class Battleships were heading this way, and a middle-aged man stood on the deck.
"Leif is troublesome; such a thing happened on the island!" the stout middle-aged man shook his head. "If I weren't close, I wouldn't bother going over there!"
"My lord, if you go there, Leif will at least owe you a favor," an aide next to him said.
The stout middle-aged man smiled faintly. If Yasha and the other Supernovas were there, they would certainly recognize him as Vice Admiral Austyn, who was almost as famous as Leif. His power was stronger than Leif's.
The three Supernovas dared to take the initiative to attack Leif, but they would never consider attacking Austyn because his speed and attack power were extremely threatening.
An hour ago, the surrounding Navy received a report from Leif Island about chaos on the island. Many sailors had inexplicably turned into monstrous cannibals and were chasing people. After being bitten by those crazed sailors, the bitten ones also transformed.
This was something unprecedented, attracting the Navy's attention. After discussion, the nearest powerhouse, Vice Admiral Austyn, went to Leif Island to check the situation.
"Leif... should be fine, right?" the aide asked.
"How could something happen to him?" Austyn smiled lightly and said, "To deal with this guy, what kind of methods did the Navy use? As a result, you know: nothing happened to that guy at all."
"Yasha, Paul, and Kidd—those three Supernovas," the aide continued. "These three troublesome guys also came to join in the fun. Leif is going to have a headache."
"It doesn't matter." Austyn shook his head slightly. "No matter how chaotic the island is, as long as Leif is there, whether it's the crazy sailors or the Supernovas, they are small matters."
Having worked alongside Leif for many years, Austyn was aware of his abilities. With that exaggerated physique, even if he attacked nonstop day and night, he would still be unable to break through Leif's defense. This was why, although Austyn was more powerful in attack and had greater fame, the outside world still ranked Leif above him.
"Speed up; once we reach Leif Island, take away a few jars of old wine for Leif." The corner of Austyn's mouth quirked up in a hint of a smile.
The aide next to him wanted to say something else but suddenly seemed to sense something. He looked up in the direction of Leif Island.
Austyn did the same.
In their field of view, first came the dazzling light of the red sun in the sky. Immediately after, above the sky, a huge mushroom cloud slowly formed. Its diameter exceeded ten kilometers, covering the entire sky and visible from far and near. Beneath the battleship, a terrible wave, accompanied by seawater, quickly swept over, causing a group of fish in the nearby water to jump.
Although this shock wave was several dozen kilometers away and had lost some power, Austyn and his aide could still feel its terrible destructive force. Both their eyelids twitched involuntarily as if something horrifying had occurred.
A moment of silence passed.
Austyn was the first to react. He immediately issued an order: "Quick! Speed up; push the ship to maximum speed and get to Leif Island."
Austyn's eye twitched, and his heart, which had been calm, began to beat violently. In the darkness, he felt the approach of death. Although there was still some distance from the island, it felt too real, as if he had just brushed against the god of death.
He stared at the gigantic mushroom cloud in the sky and took a deep breath. Even with his experience as a naval commander for so many years, he couldn't understand what was happening.
What could it be? Some powerful ability? However, even if there were people stronger than him in this world, there was no way to create such movements. This kind of terrifying mushroom cloud was like a curtain of death.
Austyn moved forward, wanting to know what was happening on Leif Island.
The battleship beneath him sped forward. Not long after, the gigantic image of Leif Island appeared in front of their eyes, but only the scene outside the island.
Austyn was surprised to see the bay. Inside and outside, the ships—whether large warships or small fishing boats—were sunk or capsized in the sea.
A plot of land at the entrance of the bay looked as if it had been pushed again—neat and tidy, incredibly smooth. The surrounding trees had been broken off at the roots. The cliff face was torn in half. The entire bay was in shambles.
There was a pirate fleet nearby, but he couldn't dwell on it at the moment, so he quickly jumped off the ship. He did not even wait for his men and went straight to the island.
Not far away, three miserable figures showed up—it was Yasha, Paul, and Kidd, the Supernovas. But at this moment, these three young men of great reputation looked like hobos. Their clothes were torn, their hair was messy, and their faces were pale, with a trace of fear in their eyes. They were still in shock. They had suffered minor injuries, but with their abilities, there was no major damage.
The three of them also saw Austyn approaching. If it had happened in the past, there would have been a huge fight, but now the three of them had no desire to do so. The Supernovas exchanged glances before turning their attention to the center of the explosion on Leif Island.
There was a tacit understanding among them. They did not strike at each other; instead, they headed in that direction. They all wanted to know what exactly happened just now.
In the air, a stream of black smoke formed from debris, dust, and other substances enveloped the entire island. Austyn inhaled a mouthful of it and choked. Fires were still burning closer to the center of the explosion, and the scene was becoming more tragic.
Austyn saw that the highest mountain on Leif Island was gone—razed to the ground. The palace where Leif lived was also fragmented, reduced to a field of debris. For the river that ran through the center of the island, its water had evaporated, and the channel was displaced.
On the surrounding ground, there was nothing. No breath of life could be perceived; all the trees, turf, birds, snakes, insects, fish, shrimp, crops, etc., were absent. It was like an apocalyptic scene.
This was also a scene that Austyn had never witnessed before. He could never have imagined that one day he would see such a terrible sight.
As he approached the center of the explosion, Austyn and the three Supernovas' footsteps grew more cautious. They gazed down into a massive and deep pit. Upon looking closer, they discovered that this pit was over a few kilometers wide and nearly a hundred meters deep.
As the four swept their gaze around the big pit, their minds buzzed. They could not help but tremble because they found that inside this pit, there wasn't Leif's body. Not just the body; even the possible remains of broken fingers or charcoal fragments could not be seen. There was nothing at all. Besides the burned dirt and constantly falling black matter, there was nothing else.
"Dead... Is Leif... dead?" Yasha muttered.
