The colossal figure disappeared.
The small, hunched figure also disappeared.
Tanks and even soldiers from various countries were nowhere to be seen.
When people turned their gaze to the void, they were struck with a sudden stillness.
There.
The rift that should have vanished with the great wave still remained firmly in place.
The rift was like a dark abyss, exuding a chilling aura.
In the distance.
Witnessing this scene through satellite imagery.
Leaders from various nations remained silent, devoid of joy at the annihilation of the colossal monster.
Instead, a profound sense of heaviness filled each of them.
That was a nuclear bomb!
Yet, even a nuclear bomb couldn't obliterate the rift.
This implied that preventing whatever emerged from the rift was utterly impossible.
As for using nuclear bombs to resolve such issues from now on.
While possible, it was absolutely out of the question to rely on them perpetually.
That was a nuclear bomb!
Even though the spiritual energy revival had occurred, and Blue Star had achieved immense development.
Excessive use of nuclear bombs would undoubtedly have some impact on Blue Star.
Moreover, this time, the nuclear bomb had only dealt with a minor minion.
If it were a true boss, it might not have been able to resolve it.
"Let's leave this matter for now?"
After a long silence, a national leader finally broke the stillness.
His words roused the other leaders. They exchanged silent glances, then nodded gently.
They then stood up in unison and declared, "In that case, let's secure this area first."
"Then we will consult with other leaders on how to resolve this issue."
Having spoken.
They successively exited the room.
...
Meanwhile.
In a desolate and uninhabited area.
A thin, small figure suddenly appeared.
His face was pale, with streaks of blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
*Thump!*
The small figure stumbled a few steps.
"This... what kind of magic treasure is this... cough..."
As the words fell, the small figure abruptly collapsed onto the ground.
Who knows how long had passed.
When he regained consciousness, the previously pale complexion had slightly improved.
"Cough, cough..."
This person abruptly stood up, a lingering fear still etched on his face.
The thought of what had happened before filled him with dread.
What kind of magic treasure could it have been?
To unleash such immense power.
If he hadn't intended to kill them from the outset.
And had instead prepared to escape under the cover of the colossal creature, he would have surely perished under the artifact's might.
"Damn it, this news must be conveyed to the Main God."
He took a breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and then muttered, "First, I'll go see what this Dragon God Lord is like."
Saying this, he casually chose a direction and walked briskly.
This was the mission assigned to him by the Main God during his excursion.
He was here to ascertain the true strength of this so-called Dragon God Lord.
The one capable of annihilating eight of the Main God's subordinates.
Concurrently.
In a certain region.
"Do you know Lord Dragon God?"
In a bustling downtown area, one person suddenly inquired of another passing by.
"Are you crazy?" Someone frowned, ignoring him, and walked away quickly.
The inquirer stared intently at the person for a long while, then found another individual and asked, "Do you know Lord Dragon God?"
"Lord Dragon God? You're not talking about the number one expert on Blue Star, Lord Dragon God, are you?"
"Yes." Hearing this, the inquirer paused, then quickly nodded, confirming it was indeed him.
"He's a miracle of our Blue Star. You might not know, but I even watched his livestream when he was just born!" the person began to recount with great enthusiasm.
But upon seeing the inquirer's bewildered expression, he couldn't help but ask, "You don't know about livestreams?"
"Livestream? I... I don't quite understand."
"Sigh, you don't even know about livestreaming... Forget it, I'll tell you about Lord Dragon God..."
Before long, this person animatedly recounted the entire journey of Ao Yuan, from his birth to his dominance over Blue Star.
"So, he's in the Demon Court now?" the inquirer asked, tilting his head.
"Of course, the Demon Court is Lord Dragon God's base. Previously, he even moved a large mountain from Great Xia to..."
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you leaving? I still have a lot more to say..."
"That's strange."
The person who had been speaking earlier watched the thin figure sprinting away and scratched his head in confusion.
"I thought I might find a like-minded young fellow in a foreign land."
"Ah well, no use dwelling on it."
After muttering a few complaints, the person said no more, shook his head, and continued towards the bustling district.
And he would never know that the person he had been chatting with all along was not human at all.
But rather, the monster that had emerged from the rift, a threat that even the leaders of various nations found troublesome!
...
Demon Court.
Just then, Ao Yuan received a call from Elder Long.
"Ao Yuan, you're probably aware of what happened a while ago, aren't you?"
Ao Yuan nodded, his voice solemn, "They used a nuclear bomb?"
"Yes."
Elder Long took a deep breath and said, "Two monsters emerged from that rift."
"We used a nuclear bomb to deal with them."
"Hiss..."
Even Ao Yuan gasped at this statement.
He had some suspicions, but he hadn't actually expected a nuclear bomb to be used.
"Where are those two monsters?"
Ao Yuan pondered and asked.
If he could obtain their corpses, Ao Yuan thought they might be edible after roasting.
After all, those were evolution points!
And surely not a small amount.
"They turned to dust under the nuclear bomb," Elder Long sighed.
"Roar." Ao Yuan nodded expressionlessly.
"Ao Yuan, the rift has been widening recently."
"If you have time, please come and take a look," Elder Long said seriously after taking a breath.
Ao Yuan nodded gently and replied, "Just call me if anything unusual happens."
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Ao Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "Elder Long, did any of them escape?"
"Escape?" Elder Long repeated, asserting with certainty, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"That was a nuclear bomb, how could any creature possibly escape from it?"
"That's good then."
Ao Yuan nodded in agreement, but the frown on his brow deepened where Elder Long couldn't see.
"Elder Long, please wait a moment," Ao Yuan suddenly said.
With that, he directly hung up the phone.
Simultaneously.
Outside the Demon Court.
Beneath the vast ocean, small waves occasionally rippled.
Among these ripples, if viewed from high above.
One could discern a small black dot intermittently appearing in the azure waters.
This was none other than the figure who had emerged from the rift.
"Is this the Demon Court?" Hidden beneath the seawater, he gazed towards the Demon Court from afar, muttering to himself.
...
