Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Mission Accomplished
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The relentless booming of the ship's cannons filled the air as the President of the Free Nation, having stepped out, opened the hatch to the deck and walked out.
Here he could hear the roaring barrage outside.
In his widened eyes, the dense barrage of shells and close-range anti-air missiles exploded against an invisible barrier, utterly failing to halt the incoming barrage of warheads.
"Who are you!"
The President of the Free Nation stared up at the dark sky filled with a dense swarm of warheads covering the entire vista, and shouted with his arms outstretched.
"Why!"
The answer to his question was the thunderous roar of the warheads.
The massive explosions were deafening, as if they were tearing the world apart. Instantly, monstrous waves surged on the sea surface, thousands of meters high, like a tsunami, overwhelming and fierce.
All the aircraft carriers and ships floating on the sea were as fragile as paper under the onslaught of the warheads. The immense explosions tore the carriers apart, sending up a sky-obscuring blaze that lit up the entire night sky. The crew on the ships, including the loudly shouting President of the Free Nation, disappeared in an instant, leaving only debris and fragments scattering in the blaze.
The shockwaves from the explosions spread across the sea, forming towering walls of water that covered everything.
In the sky, the gigantic mushroom clouds from the exploding warheads shot up into the heavens, turning the pitch-black sky into a sea of red. The fire and smoke intertwined, creating a stunningly terrifying vista. The spectacle was so magnificent, it seemed as if even the heavens and earth were trembling.
It was a colossal fireball, comparable to the sun, rising from the sea level.
Below, in the sea of fire and smoke, the aircraft carrier fleet and floating ships were no more.
The night was torn apart! Suddenly, it was bright as day!
The human race was dumbstruck. Alesha tilted her chin up, looking at the sun before her, feeling a profound sense of satisfaction.
Because this rising sun also had her contribution.
However, at this moment, her reluctance stemmed from the realization that her time alone with Uncle York had become painfully short.
But then, remembering York's mention of many more world rifts, Alesha's eyes narrowed into a smile, looking at the big sun before her, feeling increasingly joyful!
York was unaware of Alesha's emotional fluctuations. He was just observing the gigantic sun, feeling deeply moved.
The sun before him was the largest he had ever seen.
Even the mushroom clouds he had created with his own hands paled in comparison to this sun.
One could say that the previous mushroom clouds or the sacred nuclear bomb in Thailand were mere trinkets compared to this colossal sun, not even on the same level.
"Of course, maybe in the future, I might create suns at will, but this sun has a symbolic meaning."
York squinted habitually, and through the connection of telekinesis, he sent another wave of energy to smooth out the global disasters triggered by the sun, like the tsunamis and condensing all the nuclear radiation to send into the sun or using particle interaction to neutralize it.
A tremendous pressure weighed on York momentarily, thankfully, he didn't maintain this state for too long.
"Uncle York?" Alesha sensed something and looked up.
She saw blood dripping from York's nose.
Her eyes widened, her body instantly filled with a fierce aura!
But just then, a warm hand touched the top of her head, calming her surging aura.
"It's my fault, it has nothing to do with the people below," York said with a smile, wiping the blood from his nose.
Unexpectedly, just maintaining the particle state for a while had burst the blood vessels in his nose, probably a little longer and the vessels throughout his body would have exploded.
However, York could also feel the burst vessels regenerating almost instantly under his regenerative abilities.
This made him consider a possibility: if the regeneration ability was enhanced further, could the duration in particle state be extended?
Because the damage brought by the particle state could be healed by regenerative abilities.
"Uncle York, are you really okay?" Alesha's voice interrupted his thoughts.
York nodded, "I'm fine."
After speaking, York glanced again at the still stunned human race below, just staring at the sun that illuminated the world.
"They are my kin, so doing something for them is also my responsibility. I can't just walk away, can I? Right, Alesha?"
Upon hearing this, Alesha uttered an "oh," looking down at the still dejected human crowd.
York smiled, not minding her, understanding Alesha's feelings. He patted her head as a gesture of comfort, then turned his gaze back to the void.
The moment the big sun appeared, the mechanical voice of the mission prompt had already rung
in his ear.
[...]
[Mission Requirement: Cleanse the dirt of this world, make it clean (Completed)]
[Mission Reward: +100 attribute points + Close space rifts and return (Issued)]
[...]
York's gaze followed the now completed mission window, then shifted to his personal panel.
Skipping over other data, the available attribute points just issued, adding 100 points, had accumulated to 374 points.
Having been in this world for 548 days, the daily mission rewards were quite substantial, totaling 274 points.
He hadn't used them at all, saving them up until now.
The purpose was to use them while traveling through rift channels; he wanted to see the true nature of the rift channels, and to do that, making the particle state last longer was necessary.
[York John]
[Race: Human, God]
[Occupations: Priest, Bishop, Professor of Pharmacology, Doctor, Knight…]
[All-around Physique: 201]
[Life: 381/381]
[Spirit/Sacred Power: 403+99000000 (Consumable)/403+99000000 (Consumable) (Note: regenerates one point per minute)]
[Magic: 401/401 (Note: regenerates one point per minute)]
[...]
After a quick glance at his personal panel, York pursed his lips and chose to split the 374 available attribute points into two, adding them to Life and Spirit/Sacred Power.
Life was related to regenerative ability, related to the evolution of the body including the brain, and also related to the particle state.
Brain evolution could allow the brain to endure the influx of particle information, and body evolution including regeneration could heal or offset the damage caused by the particle state.
Spirit was linked to telekinesis, enhancing control over particles, enabling micro-manipulation, and many other benefits.
All in all, allocating points to Life and Spirit was currently the best choice.
