Chapter 705: Chapter 704 “The World is Dead, Yet I am Reborn…
In the instant that a flash illuminated the sky, Chen Ke imdiately activated his Ti Domain!
Two Holy Diamonds appeared in his hands, and he clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms, leaving four bloody marks. The space around them suddenly ca to a halt, an invisible field enveloping him, Sleery, and Diana inside it.
The next mont, a blinding flash of light burst in the sky above, bright as daylight. Chen Ke’s eyes were blinded by the intense light, and blood tears stread down. Outside the Ti Domain, an ash-black storm several thousand ters high rose from the ground, and the houses and trees in the vicinity turned into nothingness, as if the entire world was reduced to just the few square ters of ground under Chen Ke’s feet.
The violent explosion sound followed from the sky, with lightning streaking through the swirling ash-black clouds. Bali and Saraf had also vanished without a trace.
“What’s happened…? What’s going on?” Diana shouted loudly.
Chen Ke could only see Diana mouthing words, but he heard no sound. The Ti Domain shielded them from the massive explosion outside, but the deafening noise and the blinding montary flash of white light were still seen and heard. Sleery’s eardrums had burst, blood flowed from her ears, and she knelt on the ground in agony.
It was a nuclear bomb…
Chen Ke was certain; the radiation damage was already evident. Nuclear bombs generally exploded high in the air, then a mushroom cloud would rise, and the radiation dust would spread out, turning thousands of square kiloters of land into a dead zone.
The explosion ca and went swiftly, but they seed to be very close to the blast point. The surroundings were now so black they could see nothing. Black dust blew into the range of the Ti Domain, was forcibly halted, and accumulated more and more until it ford a black spherical shell, enclosing them.
“Chen Ke? Chen Ke?”
Diana shook Chen Ke, and he turned to look. He saw that her lips were purplish, and blisters had ford on her waist, thighs, and the exposed part of her back, oozing thick, yellow fluid. Sleery was also in bad shape, lying on the ground with her neck and abdon starting to decay.
Chen Ke knew these were symptoms of overexposure to radiation. They were witches, and their bodies’ self-healing abilities were fighting against the radiation damage. An ordinary person would have died instantly.
Tsk… still a step too slow… When the nuclear bomb emitted a flash in the high altitude, it ant it had already exploded. If not for Chen Ke’s countdown giving him an imdiate alert to resist the radiation damage, by the ti the heat from the explosion reached the ground, they would have been vaporized…
Chen Ke crouched down. He too had shown so symptoms of radiation, but under the countdown’s effect, he quickly healed. He created a soul, filled its ti up to the limit, pushing it to 350 hours, then crouched down to gently touch Diana’s back.
The witches’ self-healing ability gained the upper hand in the battle against radiation. The wounds on Diana’s body had already disappeared. The radiation could not stay in her body for long and was quickly cleared by her magic power. Sleery was the sa, slowly getting up, looking pale and horrified at Chen Ke.
“It was a nuclear bomb,” Chen Ke stated.
Diana propped herself up with her hands, still uncomfortable from the previous exhaustion and pain.
“I thought it was… that thing,” Diana said.
Chen Ke shook his head, perhaps Bali and Saraf had perished in the nuclear explosion, not even leaving ashes behind…
There were nuclear bombs in this ti-space!
That was Chen Ke’s biggest concern. The Great Void was a reenactnt of great monts in history, but as it turned out, it wasn’t just past history… it might even include worlds from the other 998 cycles!
In this unknown iteration, this world still had nuclear bombs! Moreover, due to the appearance of Demon Gods and angels, humans resorted to nuclear bombs, hoping to annihilate them once and for all…
So, the question was… in this ti-space, what exactly had soone done to achieve transcendence during this world-shattering mont?
Suddenly, the scenery around them began to fade away, and the black dust suspended in midair also slowly disappeared. The sounds of explosions were gone. The honking of buses and the droning “putter-putter” of engines were heard again, pedestrians reappeared on the streets, and the afternoon sun shone down from the sky, restoring the destroyed buildings and roads slowly.
Everything returned to normal, and Chen Ke dispelled the Ti Domain. The two Holy Diamonds shrank back into the palm of his hand as he picked up Diana by the arm and helped her to her feet, while Sleery was running out of patience by now.
“I think I know what I have to do,” Sleery said, walking towards the place where Bali had previously appeared—she ford an M4A1 rifle in her right hand, and at the sa ti, over a dozen bodyguards in suits materialized beside her.
Chen Ke didn’t stop her; after all, this was the Great Void, no matter how recklessly she acted, things would eventually reset.
Diana had also adapted by now, understanding the nature of the infinite loop here, yet there were no monsters for her to burn, leaving her abundant Magic Power with nowhere to be released. However, as a forr agent of the Administration Bureau, she wasn’t as reckless as Sleery and instead prepared to approach the passersby to ask them questions.
But as soon as she decided to do so, she discovered she didn’t speak the Fei Huang language and imdiately felt rather embarrassed. She patted Chen Ke on the shoulder and asked, “Can you be my translator?”
Chen Ke nodded. He suspected the problem lay with the nuclear bomb, but how could they stop it? The appearance of two Demon Gods on the city streets would not be a spur-of-the-mont decision to launch the nuke; it might have been launched already before the standoff.
Passersby stared curiously from a distance at Diana’s strange attire—or retreated far away, turning to leave before she could even approach. Diana couldn’t find an opportunity to strike up a conversation, while Chen Ke stood on the sidewalk, constantly vigilant of the surroundings.
anwhile, Sleery had ventured quite far away, reduced to the size of a bean in Chen Ke’s eyes. She and her magic-imagined bodyguards milled around at the end of the street for a while, but this ti, Bali did not appear.
The cycle of the Great Void had its own rhythm, and perhaps they were unlucky when they first arrived—already at the end of the cycle. Now that the Void had reset, everything was back to the beginning.
“I want to ask you so questions! Don’t look at like this; I’m not from the circus!” Diana roared at the people around her who were mocking her.
Chen Ke had tested this in Fan Hede; after breaking the first cycle and opening the church doors, he entered another ti segnt of Fan Hede, where he had asked the residents fleeing the siege warfare. Indeed, that had been sowhat useful, but this ti, it was different.
The whole incident had occurred abruptly, and it was unlikely the residents here knew much more.
“Curse this Great Void, curse everyone here! There’s nothing,” Sleery complained as she drove back to Chen Ke’s side—her Magic Power was really too handy, transforming whatever she thought of.
“I didn’t find Bali, and these people don’t speak the Federation language,” she complained.
Chen Ke smiled, and just then, a male high school student dressed in a black short-sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers passed by Chen Ke. To his eyes, the student had a purple outline.
“Purple…” Chen Ke paused. He had never seen an outline of this color before.
He imdiately chased after the student and grabbed his arm.
The high school student turned and looked at him, his pupils a profound abyss-like deep purple, and his bangs combed to the right—a handso guy.
“You…” Chen Ke had an indescribable feeling; the student’s gaze told Chen Ke that he’d seen no fewer Transcendent beings than Chen Ke himself had.
“The world is dead…” the high school student stated flatly.
“Huh?” Chen Ke was taken aback. That was the long-lost Mandarin, with a bit of a southern accent.
“… Yet I am reborn…” the high school student continued.
Chen Ke didn’t understand the aning of this statent. Sleery slapped Chen Ke, startling him.
“What are you doing?” Sleery asked.
“I was… I…” Chen Ke turned back around, but the high school student had disappeared, his hand hanging frozen in mid-air.
