Chapter 19.2
“We all know that the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception directly attacks causality and completely erases it . The end result is the target instantly vanishing, regardless of how tough it is . The one exception is Light of the Soul, or rather, an infinite amount of it . We saw this when we faced the prototype god . The Mystic Eyes could only break one layer of its Light of the Soul barrier before losing effectiveness due to running out of energy . In other words, it’s not that its ineffective, but the causality erased is only for that part of the barrier, while the causality for the main body isn’t affected . If we think backwards, this means you can actually ‘cover’ an entire body in causality . Thus, if I erase the causality of the cover, anything inside will have its causality erased if its within the barrier’s causality . This has nothing to do with the amount of the energy, as we just need to erase causality . "
Xuan pushed up his spectacles, fanaticism within his eyes .
“Thus, the Mystic Eyes should have another method of attacking . Its not using a point and a line, or just attacking a single target . It’s an area of effect attack . For example, if we generate a large explosion or energy shockwave somewhere, then make Zero attack its causality, the causality of the entire space encompassed within the shockwave will vanish . No matter how powerful the organisms within are, they’ll vanish even if its clone Zheng! This is an area of effect attack even more terrifying than the Magic Cannon . I named it Instant Black Hole, the most violent power in the universe!”
Honglu was already speechless, and pointed at the simulation model on the computer . “What I’m curious about is, what will happen to Zero?”
“Of course he’ll die!” Xuan gave him a sidelong glance, as if he was being utterly nonsensical .
“Fine, I admit I asked a stupid question . The main thing is, how will you create such a large scale explosion and energy shockwave? Based on how sniping works and distance, Zero can only possibly fire while he’s within the shockwaves . He couldn't possibly fire over the horizon, right? Wouldn't he just directly die like that from the shockwaves?”
“Yes, this problem hasn’t been solved yet . Save it as a file for type four large scale area of effect weapons . We’ll slowly research it…” Xuan nodded as he said affirmatively .
“Hey… type four? What are the first three? This already needs Zero to die . Could it be you want to use us as human cannonballs?”
Honglu remembered the discussion he had with Xuan . They didn’t have Zero’s over the horizon sniping at the time, nor a way to create the large scale explosion needed in the plan . Honglu had pretty much forgotten this, not believing such an insane experiment of Xuan would work . He didn’t expect it to actually succeed and be all planned out . This had been planned as a pleasant surprise for team Devil, but it had ended up being falling to Adam instead in the end .
The weapon’s might didn’t need to be said, but its conditions were harsh as well . Apart from Zero’s death, the other important condition was a predetermined location and time to produce a suitable explosion that you wanted . The enemy also had to not move away from this region, two very difficult conditions .
The explosion condition was slightly easier to handle . Wangxia and Juntian’s cooperation could produce a hydrogen bomb’s scale which was much more powerful than normal nukes . They also had missiles from the base they went to before, so they didn’t have to worry about that too much . But making the enemy unable to move away and fixing the missile’s route and location . . .
Honglu’s choice was to place the targeting device on himself, and set it using his heartbeat . When he died, the missile would explode immediately, with the missile aimed at his direction . Honglu had intended to be the bait from the start and lure Adam and all his enemies in .
However, there were the sudden changes on the Angel Alliance’s end . Adam had used the Human Instrumentality Plan and surpassed the realm of humanity’s imagination to become a supreme existence, although it was incomplete . However, Adam had come to know of all his thoughts . So he could only bet it all on whether Adam would be scared into fleeing or that supreme existence would welcome this challenge . He had brought along all his comrades apart from the four needed to attack to be bait alongside him . Adam need the Light of the Soul for his Instrumentality, so he HAD to absorb them . Right, there were the members of team Devil as bait as well, all bait to lure Adam towards near the missile .
(Can my scheme succeed?)
Honglu would never know . He had already died to Kampa, a person no one would have imagined betraying team China . He had been controlled by Adam . His scheme only had the last step left, as it was unknown if the shockwaves could envelop Adam and whether Zero had completed his preparations . Had Juntian finished his? Had Wangxia…
He didn’t know . He had won and lost at this final step . . .
With a boom, the core of the explosion that had contracted into a scillintating ball of light abruptly exploded again, causing the skies to dim . It was like the birth of a new star as the light and temperature directly soared to the equal of the sun’s surface . Zero watched on from far away from the explosion’s center, carrying his Gauss sniper rifle . He was silent as various things crossed his mind .
(Brother . Father . Mother… And my comrades, goodbye! I’ll never forget how we fought side by side…)
BANG!
The Gauss sniper rifle’s shot rang out . The bullet was already travelling in a curve as it struck a certain point in the ball of light .
In an instant! The ball of light vanished in a way similar to paper crumpling . Zero who had fired this shot also began to break apart at the same time, like glass or crystal . As the other three called out his name, he had already vanished with a smile, truly becoming nothing . Only that rope floated in the air, flying off into the horizon .
