Academy City, District 2, Heavy Industrial Area, on the street.
Sparks flew as a robot, cut into three sections, struggled to stand. Its electronic eye flickered a few tis before it broke down.
The scent of blood filled the air. A Hound Squad mber leaned against a street trash can, clad in black combat gear. He clutched his throat with one hand, convulsing as blood poured from his mouth and the cut on his throat.
Looking down the street toward the center of District 2, one could see the area littered with ch wreckage and Hound Squad corpses. It was as if a "beast" had charged out from the center of District 2, crushing everything in its path.
At the edge of District 2.
Ratatatatat!
Heavy machine guns spewed fire. A soldier shook with the recoil, unloading a chain of bullets toward a wastewater treatnt plant.
More than twenty heavy machine guns bombarded the treatnt plant, while drones occasionally whizzed overhead, dropping small missiles. The missiles left trails of fla in the air before crashing into the plant.
Over two-thirds of the wastewater treatnt plant was destroyed, with concrete debris scattered everywhere and thick smoke faintly lit by flas.
Compared to this, the scene at the center of District 2 was even more terrifying, with flas soaring high, burning for over half an hour.
Dozens of fire trucks moved through District 2, but neither water nor dry powder extinguishers could quench the green flas. Instead, the fire seed to spread further. Even a few air-manipulating superpowered individuals couldn't suppress the blaze.
Concrete, tal, asphalt—anything touched by these green flas beca fuel, with over a quarter of District 2 engulfed in a sea of fire.
This was the result of the bomb Su Xiao had created. To be precise, it was a volatile giant incendiary bomb. The materials included Fire Gold (642g), Enriched Uranium (12000g), Fissionable Combustible Material (6725g), Compressed Solid Oxygen (7534g), and Green Phosphorus Solution Extract (756g).
These were the main components of the giant incendiary bomb, along with various catalytic, stabilizing, and auxiliary combustion materials.
If Yan Chen or Fake Joker saw these green flas, they would imdiately think of the Green Phosphorus Fire Molotov.
Although Su Xiao hadn't created the Green Phosphorus Fire Molotov, a weapon from the war world that could potentially burn him and Xie to death, he had thoroughly studied the Green Phosphorus Solution. After the war ended, he spent his ti in Reincarnation Paradise, not in the arena but in his private room, researching Green Phosphorus Solutions.
This sizeable incendiary bomb was the product of combining Green Phosphorus Solution with technology. In terms of power, it didn't match Apollo's instant lethality but exceeded Apollo's destructiveness, especially toward buildings.
This inextinguishable incendiary bomb exploding in District 2 had made Aleister lose his composure. The hundreds of drones circling above, along with the dark division mbers and hundreds of Hound Squad soldiers in District 2, showed Aleister's determination to kill Su Xiao, deploying nearly all his forces except himself.
However, the dark division mbers could have been more diligent. For instance, the second-ranked superpower user, Teitoku Kakine, enjoyed the fire spectacle in District 2.
Continuous explosions echoed from the edge of District 2 as drones sward the sky.
Su Xiao was hiding in a heavily bombarded wastewater treatnt plant, observing the outside through an alchemical crow.
"There's no imdiate risk of being surrounded. 'Hades' burns well, but the fla spread is too slow, slower than ordinary flas. It needs modification. Adding enriched uranium was a mistake, but... the enemy has already witnessed Hades' power, which is good."
Su Xiao nad the Green Phosphorus Incendiary Bomb "Hades," a fitting na for the green flas.
If Apollo was about ferocity, leaving nothing alive within a 1000-ter radius, then Hades was about burning, continuously spreading flas. Hades' initial burn radius was only five ters, but if fully spread, it could cover an area of 5000 to 6000 ters, or 5 to 6 kiloters.
Hades and Apollo had different roles. For combat, Apollo was more suitable. Hades, however, was ant to burn the enemy's base, not for direct combat, as even an older adult with poor mobility could outrun its spread.
Boom!
A loud noise ca from above, and dust fell on Su Xiao's head. He had rested enough and needed to continue his breakout.
Zing!
Over a dozen blade beams flashed, shattering the concrete layer above. Bubuwang, carrying Su Xiao, dashed out of the wastewater treatnt plant.
As soon as Su Xiao appeared, the drones dove towards him.
"Aleister, do you believe I'll send you another 'firework'?"
However, Su Xiao's threat seed ineffective. The drones continued their dive.
"I'll send the second one to District 7."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiao took out another detonator.
In the windowless building in District 7, Aleister hung upside down in a glass column. Seeing Su Xiao pull out the second detonator, his expression changed, and his pupils contracted rapidly.
District 2 was an industrial area with few residents. District 7, however, housed many students. Over 70% of the students lived there, making it the largest and most expensive district, where Aleister invested the most effort.
Burning District 2 was like chopping off one of Aleister's "hands." Burning District 7, however, was like cutting off his "head."
Whether Su Xiao had planted a bomb in District 7 was unknown, but Aleister couldn't take the risk. The accelerator was already dead; a dead man held no value. Aleister pursued Su Xiao only to establish authority.
Now, with his "head" at risk, authority be damned, saving his "head" was paramount. Killing Su Xiao wouldn't an much if Accelerator was already dead.
At the edge of District 2, after Su Xiao took out the detonator, all drones halted, the Hound Squad ceased fire, and the dark division mbers nearby received orders.
All soldiers and superpowered individuals chasing Su Xiao retreated within 30 seconds, and over 90% of the air units moved toward District 7.
Seeing this, Su Xiao dismounted Bubuwang. Having seen the power of [Hades: Flas of the Underworld], it was clear that Aleister had chickened out.
No matter how formidable a boss Aleister was or how great a magician, he would still back down when his vital interests were at stake.
