“`
The operations staff in the command center once again began to busy themselves.
“Booster successfully ignited.”
“Entering preset ballistic trajectory.”
“Speed is approaching 3 Mach…”
“Speed has broken through 6 Mach…”
“Speed has broken through 9 Mach…”
“100 kilometers from the ground, beginning to enter the atmosphere, speed is dropping!”
The structure of the missile outside the Scepter of the gods burned with a huge firelight due to friction with the atmosphere, trailing a long tail of flames like a meteor in broad daylight!
However, after it entered the atmosphere, the clumsy missile body increased air resistance, so much that its speed started to drop rather than increase.
Yet in the next instant, the main body of the missile unexpectedly began to disintegrate again!
A black tungsten rod burst out from within the missile body, carrying massive kinetic energy as it shot straight towards the ground.
As it turned out, this tungsten rod—2.6 meters in length, 30 centimeters in diameter, and weighing 3.55 tons—was the true Scepter of the gods!
Everything that had wrapped around it before was nothing more than its casing.
“After the final fin adjustment of the booster, the Scepter of the gods has smoothly entered the guided track of Scepter No.!”
Who would have thought that there was a Rod of God Slayer hidden above the sky, and who could have imagined that the 112th Division would lift Scepter No. into the heavens, only to guide this heavy weapon?
Who would have thought that on this tumultuous night, the Qing’s Family would choose to use the Scepter of the gods to execute Uncle Li Dong?!
The Rod of God Slayer plummeted from the heavens!
By this point, everything was inevitable!
If anyone looked up at that moment, they would have seen the long trail of flames drawn by the tungsten rod as it rubbed against the air.
Cheers broke out in the command center of the 112th Division, but Qing Wan was still silently watching over the holographic sand table.
He watched as the holographic image marked the Scepter of the gods rapidly descend towards Prison 18. In this battle to slay a god, the Federal First Group Army’s 112th Division commanded by Qing Wan would be remembered in Federation history.
But in the entire garrison camp, only he was still solemn, not joyous at all.
Because only he knew the truth.
The next moment, the Scepter of the gods, carrying unparalleled kinetic energy, brutally penetrated the dome of Prison 18, which resembled a fortress!
The black cube began to disintegrate in an instant, as if there were a black hole absorbing the surrounding light and heat.
The ground started to tremble in waves, followed by the complete collapse of Prison 18, kicking up clouds of dust and debris!
Only the dust was peculiar, as if thousands of souls were howling within the thick haze, then being pulled by an invisible force.
They howled with discontent, with anger, with despair.
But it was to no avail.
That made it seem as if thousands of fluids were rapidly spiraling in the dust, until every soul was sucked into the earth’s core, returning to silence.
The destruction of Prison 18 quickly caught the attention of the city’s residents.
On the tall buildings closest to the prison, everyone felt the houses shaking, as if the tremors of an earthquake were continuously transmitting.
Residents on the periphery of the city looked towards Prison 18 from their high-rises in horror, only to see plumes of dust rising to the sky, burying the entire prison.
The prison that had stood in the Federation for hundreds of years was now history.
Only at this moment did the Scepter No. fortress in the sky begin to slowly descend, prepared to perform the final cleanup task.
…
…
On the distant snowfield, hundreds of people from the Contraindicated courts stood like statues in the snowstorm.
March removed her hood gently, letting her long hair scatter wildly in the wind and snow, “To kill Uncle Li Dong, Qing’s Family actually deployed such a thing.”
“Boss, won’t this increase the difficulty of our containment, and if Uncle Li Dong dies, won’t the entire Prison City 18 be covered by Taboo Land?”
“April, Winter Solstice, you two go get ACE-010,” March turned her head to look at a man and woman behind her.
“Okay,” the girl named April turned and ran back, soon returning with a birdcage in her hands.
March took out a pure black crow from inside, facing the direction of Prison 18.
Strangely, the crow’s face had two rows, a total of six eyes, looking extremely eerie.
Then, she took out a small hawthorn from her bosom and handed it to the crow’s mouth, only to see the crow open its sharp beak and peck at it gently.
As the hawthorn was eaten, the Six-eyed crow was soured into closing four of its eyes.
March murmured softly, “Only four eyes closed, could it be that just one A-Class has died?”
Uncle Li Dong was not dead.
This was good news for the Contraindicated courts.
The death of an A-Class Superhuman was not common, and if not contained in time, an A-Class could definitely create a Taboo Land.
But in the Contraindicated courts’ original plan was to contain Uncle Li Dong. Now that they discovered he might still be alive, it would save everyone a lot of trouble.
Of course, this was good news.
“Keep moving forward,” March glanced at the sky, “Contain and leave before dawn.”
April suddenly asked, “Boss, if Uncle Li Dong isn’t dead, would he think we’re trying to snatch Taboo items if we approach him?”
March gave her a sidelong glance, “Don’t be gutless, what’s there to fear?”
“Ah…”
…
…
Countdown 4:00:00.
Far from Prison 18, a hover car was flying towards the city. The hover car, with its pure silver streamlined shape, exuded an endless sense of technology.
Inside, Qing Chen had woken up at some point and was looking through the car window at the dust cloud behind him.
But he was quiet and did not speak.
A neutral voice sounded inside the car, “Do you want me to take you back? Of course, even if you make such a request, I will not fulfill it, because I promised Uncle Li to take you to safety. It’s dangerous there now.”
