Chapter 580 A Desperate Demon
The radiance of the purification scroll is essentially holy magic.
It is harmless to humans, but to demons it is like the scorching sun shining on snow.
Several demons, barely clinging to life amidst the ruins, and a throwing demon with half a leg missing, let out a mournful roar the instant the white light enveloped them.
Their skin looked like it had been splashed with sulfuric acid, emitting black smoke and rapidly festering.
A few seconds later, the sound stopped abruptly.
They're completely dead.
At the same time, robots carrying purification reels flew into the radiation area from the D6 and D8 directions, as well as several more outer passage entrances.
One, two, three...
In total, seven purification rolls were used.
The first step in this "nuclear explosion cleanup" was not considered complete until all radiation levels from all directions dropped below the safety threshold.
Each large magic scroll is quite valuable in Terra, and throwing away seven or eight would be a considerable expense.
But compared to a war, this cost seems insignificant.
……
After the radiation was cleared, the real search operation began.
At each of the passageways, mixed squads of soldiers and robots filed in.
Soldiers provided command and judgment from the rear, while robots cleared the way ahead, and the blue crosshairs of plasma rifles swept across every inch of the ruins.
They must kill any enemy they encounter.
The shockwave from the nuclear explosion had an extremely wide range; the closer to the outer edge, the more surviving demon soldiers there were.
The lesser demon with its severed leg writhed in the rubble before its head was vaporized by a plasma beam.
The heavily armored demon soldier, half-embedded in the wall, was still struggling in vain. The two robots worked together to cut him into three pieces with a high-frequency vibration blade.
Every corner that might harbor living creatures was repeatedly scanned, confirmed, and eliminated.
In the ruins of a shop that had collapsed halfway, three fourth-tier demons, trapped under a concrete slab, suddenly sprang up and attempted to ambush the passing search team.
The robot at the front didn't even turn its head; the miniature missiles on its back weapon rack were fired directly backward.
Three muffled thuds, and the shop was completely razed to the ground.
"Block D6-14 has been cleaned up."
"Block D8-07 has been cleaned up."
"It's heading towards the epicenter."
The search teams, like a comb, converged from the outside inwards.
The further you go in, the more shocking the scene becomes.
The metal walls were melted into a wave shape by the high temperature, and the alloy plates on the ground curled up like tin foil crumpled by a giant.
In some places, even vitrified ground has appeared, which is formed by the cooling of metal and concrete after being melted by high temperatures.
All organic matter no longer exists in this area.
There were no demon corpses either, because everything near the epicenter had been vaporized completely.
The search lasted a full hour.
The soldiers dared not slacken their efforts in the slightest.
The opponent is a seventh-tier demon lord, and no one can guarantee that a nuclear bomb with a yield of 100,000 tons will kill him 100%.
If this thing isn't completely dead, the consequences could be unimaginable.
The target was discovered by a robot squad advancing from the north, about thirty meters from the epicenter, near a collapsed load-bearing pillar.
To be precise, it's what's left of the target.
The seventh-tier demon lord's enormous body was reduced to less than a third of its original size.
The lower body completely disappeared, leaving not even a trace.
His upper body was torn apart beyond recognition by the shockwave; the exposed muscle tissue was carbonized and blackened, and his ribs were broken and protruding.
The only thing that still identifies it as the seventh-tier demon lord is its remaining head.
Only after the AI system reconstructed the appearance was it confirmed that the charred remains belonged to the seventh-tier demon lord.
The robot then conducted a full-scale scan of the wreckage, confirming that there were no signs of life remaining before confirming death.
The message was quickly transmitted back to the command center via an encrypted channel.
"Report! The seventh-tier Demon Lord is confirmed dead!"
……
On the other side, dozens of kilometers away, lies the surface of what was once Seoul, the capital of South Korea.
On the ice field, the earth suddenly cracked open.
A colossal figure, obscuring the sky, burst forth from the earth, scattering rubble and dirt like a torrential downpour.
The eighth-tier demon god Kogaus had a fury burning in his eyes that was almost tangible.
Another one died.
Another seventh-rank subordinate has fallen.
Those were some of its few high-level combatants, not cannon fodder that could be picked out from any corner.
First, three of them were killed by those humans, and now another one has been lost.
Four seventh-tier demon lords.
A tiny technological civilization actually caused it to lose four seventh-tier units!
Kogas roared to the sky, a roar that echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
After the roar subsided, Kogas closed his eyes.
An invisible spiritual wave spread out from it, like a boulder thrown into a lake, the ripples spreading layer by layer, penetrating space.
It was a command filled with rage.
Shortly after, in the underground city of the Liberty, there was a ruined area.
The air suddenly began to distort amidst the rubble of the collapsed skyscraper.
A pale blue dot of light appeared out of nowhere, rapidly expanded, tore apart, and transformed into a wormhole with a diameter of over twenty meters.
The inside of the wormhole was pitch black, like the open mouth of a giant beast, and it was expanding rapidly.
The next second, the impatient demon army surged out, densely packed, like an ant colony swarming over its nest.
Once the wormhole expands, one after another, giant burrowing dragons emerge from it.
Their massive bodies squeezed through the edge of the wormhole, and upon landing, they immediately began digging in the same direction.
Almost simultaneously, in the ruins of the Washington Underground City, the same eerie blue wormhole tore through space.
The same torrent of demons surged forth.
New wormholes have also appeared in the underground city of Ershou, the city beneath Kog'Maw's feet.
More demons!
More earth-burrowing dragons!
The eighth-tier demon god Kogath sacrificed his precious space-jumping beast.
Even Cho'Gath wouldn't dare to use this rare unit carelessly, as it's extremely valuable to train.
But it no longer had time to feel sorry for itself.
The three underground cities, Freedom, Washington, and Ershou, each have three spatial wormholes several hundred meters in size, which means a total of nine have been opened!
Kogas intends to crush this damned technological civilization in the most brutal way.
quantity!
An infinite number!
……
Tianxiong Underground City, Command Center.
Zhou Shan has moved the temporary command post back here from the bank vault.
All systems have resumed operation, and the status quo map on the screen is a clear blue.
The demons within the city have been completely wiped out; not a single one remains.
When the news of the seventh-tier demon lord's death was confirmed, a rare low cheer rang out in the command center.
The staff officers looked at each other, their eyes filled with relief at surviving the ordeal.
Zhou Shan leaned back in his chair, took a sip of water, and showed a rare hint of relaxation.
The threat within the city has been eliminated.
As for the drilling dragons that are still digging underground, we'll blow them up one by one as they come.
With the supplies carried by their own army and the portal still open, the supply of explosives was not a problem.
The entrance to Tunnel No. 2, which had been breached by the seventh-tier demon lord, was now completely blocked by more than a dozen fifth-tier robots and heavily armed positions.
The horde of demons pouring out of the tunnels was no different from lining up to die in the face of the crossfire.
The plasma beam turned the tunnel entrance into an incinerator, and the demon corpses piled up so high they almost blocked the entrance.
"If these guys keep sending things like this, I'll have an easier time." Zhou Shan's lips twitched slightly.
But he knew in his heart that this peace would not last long.
If that demon is not dealt with, there will always be new situations.
