Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 450 - 306: Supergravity Bomb_2

Ji Xinghuo thought for a moment, "Can the director come to the base?"

"Okay."

Li Hui immediately cut off the communication.

Zhou Yishang’s eyes revealed a look of surprise, "Can you produce the evidence?"

"Not sure." Ji Xinghuo also didn’t know what Shen Yucheng had mentioned, or if his words were even true, but there was no choice but to try.

About ten minutes later, Li Hui walked into the conference room.

"Director." Ji Xinghuo stood up and said, "Please come outside with me, both of you, but do not use any vehicles. Can you fly?"

"I can," replied Li Hui.

"I can’t." Zhou Yishang’s expression was not good, "But I can use a rocket backpack."

Ji Xinghuo shook his head, "That’s too slow. Director Zhou, I’ll carry you."

"Fine..."

The three of them left the conference room and went to the base’s take-off and landing platform. The cover of the overhead passageway slid open, and Ji Xinghuo, grabbing Zhou Yishang’s belt, took off, and in a blink of an eye shot out of the passageway and flew into the sky.

Carrying a person didn’t impact Ji Xinghuo’s speed much, but he didn’t accelerate to his full capacity, only reaching his cruising speed. Even so, he achieved 220 meters per second, entering subsonic speed.

Behind, Li Hui quickly caught up, matching pace with him.

Ji Xinghuo glanced at the older director and saw gray feathers on his back, likely fused with the Winged Man Feather after years of training; his speed was very fast, easily keeping up with Ji Xinghuo’s flying speed.

"Where are we heading?" asked Li Hui.

"Lishan Park," Ji Xinghuo determined the direction and accelerated again, with a boom breaking the sound barrier.

The distance from Sword Bureau Qinling Base to Lishan Park was about 100 kilometers; it took just a few minutes to arrive.

It was evening by then, and the sky gradually darkened.

Lights had been turned on at many ancient buildings in Lishan Park, and plenty of tourists were either ascending or descending the mountain. The most famous attraction there was "Huaqing Pool," and Ji Xinghuo slowed down, scanning the entire park with electromagnetic induction.

Shen Yucheng said he had buried the "item" under a tree and marked it.

"Over there."

Ji Xinghuo found the tree beside a secluded trail, and electromagnetic induction also detected something buried beneath the tree.

He landed with Zhou Yishang, and Li Hui followed suit. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Due to the remote location, they did not startle any tourists.

After stabilizing, Zhou Yishang couldn’t help but ask, "What is your flying ability? You can fly so fast. For an average mutant, just the inertia changes caused by acceleration would be unbearable."

Li Hui also cast a curious glance; he had seemingly kept up with ease, but in reality, it was quite strenuous.

"Shock Wave Turbulence and Acceleration," Ji Xinghuo responded offhandedly.

Upon hearing the answer, both men became even more puzzled. They had heard of Shock Wave Turbulence but not that it was this fast.

As for Acceleration, that was completely unfamiliar to them.

Ji Xinghuo didn’t elaborate further, and he walked to the base of the tree. Electromagnetic induction pinpointed the position of the "item," buried about two meters deep, primarily metallic, small in size, roughly the same as a fist.

He attempted metal manipulation, trying to extract the object directly from underground, but found his spiritual energy had no effect on it.

Electromagnetic induction also couldn’t penetrate its interior; the magnetic field was blank.

"Strange..."

Ji Xinghuo muttered to himself.

Without concealing his actions from the others, his Spirit Sword Bracelet detached and transformed into four sharp blades that swiftly dug beneath the tree, like an excavator, quickly carving out a pit and stopping just as they were about to uncover the object.

The half-exposed item in the ground became visible to Ji Xinghuo and his companions, and all of them furrowed their brows.

It was a dodecahedron, about ten centimeters in diameter, silvery in color, each of its faces a regular triangle apparently cast without seams. Each of its edges flashed with a faint blue light, barely noticeable unless looked at closely.

"What is this thing?" Zhou Yishang asked.

"I don’t know."

Ji Xinghuo had never seen it before, but upon his first glimpse, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his forehead and a sense of great danger flooded his mind. Just like the time on Earth Abyss Star when he nearly perished in a nuclear explosion, the feeling was even more terrifying.

He instinctively stepped back a few paces and cried out in alarm, "This thing is extremely dangerous!"

Li Hui had been staring intently at the metal sphere in the hole, his brow furrowed. Hearing Ji Xinghuo’s warning, it was as if he remembered something, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Supergravity bomb!"

"Don’t touch it!" Li Hui shouted, "This is a supergravity bomb, if it detonates, we’re all dead."

Ji Xinghuo’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately grabbed Zhou Yishang and flew up.

He had read about the "supergravity bomb" before. It was an extremely terrifying weapon that only a few top civilizations in the Milky Way could manufacture. Upon detonation, it would generate gravitational forces hundreds of thousands of times greater, akin to the environment around a white dwarf.

In an instant, all matter within its range would be drawn into the center of the explosion and highly compressed, even atoms would be crushed.

It was akin to creating an artificial black hole.

But it would only last a very short time before gravity returned to normal, and the compressed matter would release terrifying energy, resulting in an explosion more dreadful than nuclear weapons.

Nothing would be left!

However, Li Hui stayed put.

Ji Xinghuo had no choice but to stop as well, Zhou Yishang anxiously said, "Director, let’s evacuate first and deal with this later."

Li Hui kept his gaze fixed on the bomb in the hole, then suddenly sighed in relief and turned around saying, "I overreacted. A supergravity bomb requires a Gravity Strings user to detonate it, and there are no Gravity Strings users on Earth, so we can relax for now."

You should have said that earlier...

Ji Xinghuo muttered under his breath and landed back on the ground.

Li Hui jumped into the hole and examined the metal sphere closely. Under Ji Xinghuo and Zhou Yishang’s terrified gazes, he reached out and picked up the sphere, and nothing happened.

"See."

Li Hui flew out of the hole and said, "This supergravity bomb has been buried here for so long, it seems that the enemy can’t detonate it easily either."

As he spoke, he handed the metal sphere over.

Zhou Yishang carefully caught it, examined it for a moment, and then handed it to Ji Xinghuo.

Ji Xinghuo held the metal sphere, noting its massive density; a small size, yet it weighed over three tons. An ordinary person couldn’t possibly lift it, and he wondered how Shen Yucheng managed to bring it from the Star Realm back to Earth and bury it here.

Li Hui looked at Ji Xinghuo and inquired, "How did you know about this location?"

"Shen Yucheng told me," Ji Xinghuo answered truthfully. "I ran into Shen Yucheng on the Bloody Plateau. After some pressure, he told me."

So he recounted all the information he had extracted from Shen Yucheng.

The more Li Hui and Zhou Yishang heard, the more shocked they became.

"The power and danger of the Qianyuan Association are greater than I previously suspected," Li Hui said gravely. "I thought it was just a bunch of petty thieves making small moves in the dark for their gain, not realizing the Winged People were causing mischief behind the scenes."

Zhou Yishang also had a sudden realization, "No wonder the Qianyuan Association has been trying to kill you, all for this supergravity bomb. Then their goal..."

The three of them looked towards Chang’an.

Standing atop Lishan Park, one could see most of Chang’an City, like a city that never slept under the night sky.

"Our country’s air defense system can intercept the nuclear weapons of enemy nations. Chang’an is the most heavily defended place, and all modes of transport also can’t avoid detection and interception," Li Hui explained. "But if it’s a supergravity bomb..."

Ji Xinghuo looked at the metal sphere in his hand.

So small in volume, yet possessing a power more terrible than a nuclear bomb. Just bringing it to the center of Chang’an City and detonating it would be unimaginable.

Furthermore, if it was brought to the Headquarters during a major meeting and detonated, it would wipe out the high-level leadership of the Asia-Pacific Community in one fell swoop.

The most powerful nation on Earth would crumble in a day.

This was a massive conspiracy!

Considering the terrible consequences if the Qianyuan Association succeeded, a cold sweat broke out on Li Hui’s forehead, "I’m going to see the leader right away."

He looked at Ji Xinghuo, "Just to be safe, take the supergravity bomb far away from Chang’an, fly west into the desert wasteland, and wait for my instructions on how to proceed."

"Yes, Director."

Ji Xinghuo, with the metal sphere, soared into the sky and with a roar, disappeared into the horizon.
