Chapter 783: Chapter 756: The Times Have Changed

The dark side of the Moon.

This mysterious place that is forever facing away from Earth.

At this moment, it welcomed an uninvited guest.

Dazzling rays of light illuminated vast stretches of the starry sky.

The intense nuclear explosion caused even the entire Moon to shake violently, and a massive amount of dust filled the sky.

The Moon is not small; its diameter reaches 3,476 kilometers, and its mass is 7,350 billion billion tons.

It is undoubtedly a colossal entity.

Yet the continuous release of energy equivalent to a million tons per second is shaking this giant.

Countless materials were vaporized, leaving behind huge pits flowing with molten lava.

The compressed flow of hydrogen atoms shot out like shells with a thought, destroying everything like a weapon that could annihilate stars.

"The release speed is too slow!" Chen Shouyi lamented inwardly.

Not every place is like the ocean, where hydrogen elements can be freely obtained.

Space, the sky, and even deserts severely lack hydrogen. Although a large reserve can be stored, releasing it requires a process.

From the launch of the hydrogen atom to the detonation, the entire process takes at least 0.2 seconds, with the ignition alone taking 0.1 seconds, and as the distance increases, it will be exponentially prolonged.

0.2 seconds, what can be done; for ordinary people, it is merely a blink of an eye.

But for an existence like Chen Shouyi, 0.2 seconds is long enough to prepare for any adequate response, even to be disrupted by Divine Power before the explosion, or even prevented the moment before detonation.

The Divine Power formed by the aggregation of all beings’ telekinesis, though unable to control atoms with the finesse of willpower, was undeniably powerful.

He needed more efficient and faster means of attack.

So fast that the enemy couldn’t react, so fast that the enemy couldn’t evade, so fast that the enemy would despair.

Within this grand premise, power was secondary.

Moreover, the power of fusion was already in excess.

Just like killing an ant, whether with a match, lighter, or a military-grade flamethrower or incendiary bullet, makes no difference.

The tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of high temperatures generated by fusion could destroy everything.

Chen Shouyi stopped his actions, silently contemplating.

As the lava cooled, the surroundings quickly darkened.

A few seconds later, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind.

The flow of hydrogen atoms reappeared, not being fired like shells this time, but rotating at high speed around Chen Shouyi as the center.

Initially, the flow of hydrogen atoms was difficult to discern with the naked eye, merely spinning at high speed.

But the next moment.

It suddenly lit up as if electrified, erupting with a dazzling light.

At the moment it lit up, blue smoke rose from Chen Shouyi’s body, his clothes vaporized instantly, and his skin turned black and carbonized.

The searing pain of being burnt made his scalp tingle, but he did not give up, gritting his teeth fiercely, controlling the halo to expand rapidly,

from the original ten-meter radius to fifty meters in a flash, while his body began to swell and transform in an attempt to enhance his defense.

Strands of lightning danced like electric snakes along the edges of the halo, the terrifying energy continuing to burst out as Chen Shouyi kept adding fuel.

Yet the energy ring did not lose control; it was firmly constrained by a powerful magnetic field, rotating at high speed around Chen Shouyi, and the speed was increasing.

From a kilometer per second to five kilometers per second, then from five kilometers per second to ten kilometers per second, seemingly limitless.

...

Even the extremely thin air around the Moon emitted a faint hum.

Chillingly scary.

Moments later, an intensely bright energy body suddenly detached from the energy ring with a thought, carrying hundreds of millions of temperatures, firing out at high speed like a plasma cannon in science fiction.

Its speed was so fast that even Chen Shouyi’s vision could not capture it, hitting a ring mountain in the blink of an eye.

The terrifying high temperature, like a red-hot knife slicing into butter, penetrated straight into the mountain, causing the vaporization of rocks to expand and trigger a fierce internal explosion.

The entire ring mountain, several hundred meters tall, had half of its peak blown away.

Subsequently, plasma was relentlessly fired at a rate of dozens per second, and the consumed parts of the energy ring were quickly replenished repeatedly.

"Boom boom boom!"

In just an instant, the ring mountain had disappeared without a trace.

"Just like this!" His eyes shone brightly.

He had already explored the most effective combat tactic.

...

November, traditionally winter in the northern hemisphere.

But ever since the Goddess of Agriculture descended a few years ago, Ba Country has become like spring all year round, hardly feeling the chill of winter.

Holy City.

To welcome the visit of the embassy from the Great Xia Country, the entire Ba Country had mobilized.

Leveling roads, city sanitation, program rehearsals, all bustling with activity.

"By the time the Great Xia Country delegation arrives, the roads will be paved with flowers, and the Saintess will present five grains and wreaths, symbolizing the Lord’s teachings and peace respectively. Moreover, the believers welcoming on both sides of the road will undergo strict selection, all are devout followers," a few priests in luxurious robes, crowding around a woman with a flower wreath on her head, said respectfully on the road.

Undoubtedly, this lady was the incarnation of the Goddess of Agriculture.

"Devoted followers are not necessary... Hmm, replace them all with beautiful maidens, and I’ll present the five grains and wreaths," the Goddess of Agriculture thought for a moment and said.

"Lord, you cannot do that; it is against propriety, and we do not need to court favor with the Great Xia Country so much," a Chief Priest cautiously said, pointing out that Ba Country also possessed nuclear weapons, not a few, which was their confidence.

Furthermore, it was now the Great Xia Country seeking Ba Country, not the other way around.

"You don’t understand." The Goddess of Agriculture smiled, unlike other Barbarian Gods who were majestic and domineering. Possibly due to her Divine Position, her demeanor was quite gentle, even if her opinions were challenged, she was not offended and patiently explained:

"If I can’t get through this ordeal, I will have no choice but to leave Earth."

If the outside followers heard these words, it might cause a huge stir, even the top church members present were all shocked and changed their expressions upon hearing it.

"I am not strong, or rather, not as strong as you imagine, and nuclear weapons are not as useful as you think; sometimes even I have to compromise." The Goddess of Agriculture said with a bitter smile, anyway, these people would witness it with their own eyes by then, it was better to say it earlier, at least to have mental preparation.

All the Chief Priests were dumbfounded, their outlooks shaken.

Their ignorance of external events rendered them unaware of the world around them.

The times had changed.

The history in which a Barbarian God could just wander around and conquer a nation or a race was gone for good.

"Lord, no matter what, you are always the greatest in our hearts, and we pledge our undying loyalty to you," the Sect Leader recovered and declared passionately.

PS: Sorry, I’ve had a cold these last two days, um, another Chapter in the evening.
