Chapter 589 Discovery of the Demon Race's Global Deployment

In the residential area, the people who were initially filled with fear went from being terrified to being shocked.

Antimatter bomb.

These words have had a huge impact on ordinary people.

In the past, it only existed in science fiction works and theoretical discussions.

But now, the authorities have officially admitted that they have mastered the relevant technology, and that the weapons are not just laboratory samples, but have been deployed in actual combat and have achieved significant results.

Soon after, major official media outlets released another video.

It was the Terra battlefield back then.

The scene depicts the eighth-tier demon god Orenus being killed by the Pope with an antimatter bomb.

At the end of the video, a line of subtitles appeared.

"Terra Battlefield Chronicle: Seventh-tier races unite to resist the eighth-tier demon god Orion, and finally use an antimatter bomb to successfully kill him."

This moment.

The entire underground city network of the Great Xia Dynasty was completely destroyed.

The comments section below the official video is refreshing at an astonishing rate.

"Antimatter bomb? Am I seeing things? This thing has actually been built?"

"I thought we were building an underground city, but you're telling me you also accidentally developed an antimatter weapon?"

"We can even kill an eighth-tier demon god? That's a sure thing, what's there to panic about!"

"Who just said that Great Xia is no good? Come out and show yourself."

"I admit I panicked a little just now, but I'm not now. It's not that the demons are too strong, it's that my perspective was too narrow."

"This is the kind of sense of security that an official organization should have. Enough talk, let's get straight to the results."

"Brothers, hold on! The battle is raging on the front lines, don't cause trouble back home."

Comments kept flooding the screen.

The oppressive atmosphere in the various underground city living areas has also changed.

"The soldiers are still holding the line."

"We can't afford to panic first."

This statement spread quickly.

In the dungeon, many people began to cooperate with the management and not cause trouble for the authorities.

The fear did not completely disappear, after all, the demons had really arrived, and the war was really underway.

But at least, most people have regained their confidence.

However, just as the morale of the people within the Great Xia was gradually stabilizing, deep within the Blue Star...

Those wormholes hidden in underground caverns and abandoned mine tunnels are silently expanding.

One by one, demons, dragging their hideous bodies, crawled out of the darkness.

......

Tian Shu Underground City.

The atmosphere in the central command hall had just eased a little.

Following the release of the official announcement, the panic in various dungeons is gradually subsiding.

The live-action video of antimatter bombs did indeed give everyone a boost of confidence.

At least in the eyes of ordinary people, the Great Xia Dynasty is not without its trump cards.

Even demons are not invincible.

This is enough.

As long as morale remains high and the rear remains intact, there is still a foundation for continuing the fight on the front lines.

But just then, an informant suddenly stood up and shouted:

"Report!"

"Demon activity detected near the equator!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Han Niba was looking at the situation map of the Antarctic battlefield when he heard this, and his face immediately darkened.

"Adjust the picture."

"yes!"

The next second, the home screen switched.

The image is from a low-Earth orbit reconnaissance satellite.

After Earth slowed down dramatically, the area near the equator has become a no-go zone for humans, with large areas covered by high temperatures, volcanic ash, wildfires, and storms.

It is also prone to earthquakes, making it a veritable hell on earth.

The satellite images were filtered multiple times before the surface conditions could be barely seen.

It was a mountainous area burned by wildfire.

The original vegetation is long gone, leaving only large areas of black scorched earth.

The mountain's surface is covered with cracks, like shards of pottery shattered by high temperatures.

At the entrance of a partially collapsed cave, menacing black figures crowded together.

They surged out of the ground like a tide, dragging their twisted limbs, and spread rapidly in all directions.

"Damn it, it really is them!"

Han Niba's face turned ugly.

The informant said:

"Beyond the southern border of the former Great Xia, near the equator, it was a mountainous, uninhabited area before the catastrophe."

"Preliminary assessment suggests the existence of a wormhole inside the cave or underground."

The hall was completely silent; everyone knew what this meant.

Antarctica is no longer the only battlefield.

The demon race has begun deploying its forces across the entire Earth!

Han Niba stared at the screen, his gaze frighteningly deep.

The worst-case scenario has occurred.

In fact, the Great Xia Dynasty had already made a judgment on this point.

Since the demons were able to open a spatial wormhole in Antarctica, it's impossible that they only opened one in Antarctica.

The most terrifying aspect of this kind of cross-border invasion of civilizations is never the attack and defense of a single city or place, but that they can bypass the main battlefield and tear open a gap in places you never expect.

No matter how well the battle is fought in Antarctica, it only blocks one door.

If the Demon Race opens gates simultaneously across Earth, the nature of the war will change completely.

It has escalated from localized battles to a global encirclement and suppression.

Therefore, Daxia has always retained a number of reconnaissance satellites to monitor the global surface.

No one expected the demons' full-scale attack to come so quickly.

No sooner had the authorities stabilized public sentiment than a demonic wave emerged in the equator.

"What's the environment like at the equator? Is it possible to deploy soldiers there for combat?"

Han Niba asked.

The staff officer next to him quickly retrieved the information.

"Currently, daytime surface temperatures near the equator generally exceed 100 degrees Celsius, and in some areas with volcanic activity, they can reach over 200 degrees Celsius."

"Temperatures will drop rapidly below zero overnight."

"The temperature difference between day and night is extreme."

"High-frequency earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, super storms, toxic gas leaks, and geomagnetic disturbances."

"Humans cannot operate in this area for an extended period without heavy protective gear."

"Even vehicles can suffer serious malfunctions due to high temperatures, volcanic ash, dust, and electromagnetic interference."

This is the equator of Earth today.

There used to be a city there, and traces of human habitation can be found there.

But now, it has become a death zone encircling the blue planet.

It's a forbidden zone for humans, but it might not be for demons.

The demon race has an incredibly strong vitality.

High temperatures, low temperatures, toxic gases, radiation, strong winds, volcanic ash—environments that could kill humans are nothing more than the caresses of their home planet to many demons.

Some demons were even born in environments far more brutal than this.

One of the staff officers said in a low voice:

"This environment, ironically, has blocked our regular troops from reaching them."

No one spoke up to refute it.

This is the most troublesome part: places that humans cannot go, but demons can.

Demons can hide in areas that are difficult for humans to clean up.

If they establish their nests in the equatorial restricted zone and then advance into underground cities at the North and South Poles, then the Great Xia will be forced to divide its forces along a long battlefront.

This would be a heavy burden for any civilization.

However, Han Niba did not show any panic.

He stared at the screen for a few seconds, then suddenly asked:

"Have you detected any signs of a second eighth-tier demon god?"

"Not at the moment."

The head of the information department responded immediately.

"Currently, no second eighth-tier demon god has appeared at any of the discovered demon activity sites."

Han Niba nodded, exhaled a long breath, and said:

"That's good. Based on the existing data, there is a high probability that there is only one eighth-order demon god on Blue Star."

"The two ends we previously speculated about may not exist."
