…
Clap clap clap!
"Now, only You are left, my good son."
Leon patted Homelander's face, smiling with a nuclear-like grin.
"I, I, I..."
Homelander was so terrified by Leon that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
When faced with violence he couldn't resist, Homelander, who was used to intimidating others, completely exposed his true nature as a giant baby.
"Alright, alright."
Leon impatiently interrupted, then pressed a finger to the Bluetooth earpiece on his left ear: "Arcee, release our 'Son of Satan'."
"As You wish, BOSS."
"Launch after a two-and-a-half-hour evacuation buffer. It's expected to arrive in 20 minutes."
Arcee's voice was slightly excited; after all, this was powerful enough to easily destroy Texas in America or the entire country of Gaul with a single strike.
It was the ultimate measure Russia had specifically prepared to deal with Soldier Boy if he ever lost control.
For this.
It, which was in a semi-activated state at all times, was accidentally captured by Arcee, who was simultaneously engaged in real-World racing and online surfing.
It was simply too wonderful~
"OK."
Leon nodded in satisfaction.
Not long after.
Arcee's mature female voice radiated from the Watertower to all connected audio devices in the vicinity.
"Warning! Warning!"
"A indiscriminately spreading viral weapon being researched by Vought Company has accidentally lost control."
"To prevent the disaster from escalating, the Watertower will be completely sealed off in half an hour, and its effects will be thoroughly eradicated by firepower coverage in two and a half hours."
"Please stay as far away from the Watertower as possible during this period."
"Please leave as soon as possible..."
Upon hearing this.
…
The entire World was silent for a moment.
"!!!!!"
Then it immediately boiled like hot Water.
Leon couldn't care less about the changes outside; he had already warned those people anyway.
Those who didn't believe him could stay and enjoy this unique grand fireworks display in human history with him.
And the price,
Of course, was Death.
"Wat claims that You and I fear no nuclear bombs, and many people believe this. I no longer have the heart to distinguish right from wrong or explain; let the facts speak for themselves."
"Wh-what?!"
Homelander, upon hearing this, was so scared he peed himself.
"Is that all You've got?"
Leon covered his nose in disdain, then instantly shot a laser at Homelander's lower body, charring it to a crisp and sealing it off, so he wouldn't keep being scared.
"Ahhh! Ahhh!"
"How could I withstand a nuclear bomb!"
"That's just Wat's propaganda!"
"I..."
"Shh~"
Leon placed a finger on his lips, signaling Homelander to be quiet, "If You keep spouting nonsense, I'll crush You now. But if You withstand it, I'll let You live."
"You know, I always keep my promises."
Saying that.
Leon's face showed an infectious nuclear-like smile.
Circumstances were stronger than him.
Homelander immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
Soon.
Boom—
A Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, carrying a terrifying aura, flew from the distant sky. America's air defense system failed to intercept it.
Upon reaching the sky above the Watertower.
The 40-million-ton TNT equivalent nuclear warhead it carried, like the Sword of Damocles, accurately plummeted towards the Watertower.
"Is it here?"
Leon's left eyelid twitched, and then his whole body trembled slightly as if from PTSD, unsure if it was excitement or fear, or both.
After all, this was Leon's first time experiencing... resisting a nuclear strike. Facing the deterrent of humanity's supreme firepower, even he, no matter how calm, instinctively felt a tremor in his heart.
Bang!
He was seen carrying Homelander, bursting through the ceiling, and soaring into the sky, instantly reaching the Watertower's rooftop, directly facing that supreme pressure.
With just a thought.
Leon's soldier boy suit was stored in the system space, leaving only a pair of super-elastic fiber underwear that would never wear out, serving as his display.
"John, do You know?"
Looking at the nuclear warhead approaching him from above, Leon suddenly said.
"Ah, ah?"
Homelander stammered, confused.
"Once, there was a man who tried to challenge a nuclear bomb. He diligently practiced his skills, honed his mind, and forged his body, but he could never reach the supreme pressure of a nuclear bomb."
"However, he did not give up halfway. Instead, after madly cultivating, he suddenly had an epiphany—"
"If You want to avoid being evaporated when a nuclear bomb explodes, then become a nuclear bomb yourself!"
Saying that.
Leon's eyes gleamed with golden light, and he raised his hands as if to embrace the nuclear warhead that was about to unleash supreme majesty. The corners of his mouth began to curl up madly, stretching all the way to his ears.
"Stop! Stop! How can a person withstand a nuclear bomb! We'll all die! You lunatic! I don't want to Die!"
Homelander pleaded in terror.
Leon ignored him, merely chanting: "John, now let us engrave this 'Supreme Majesty' onto our bodies together."
"I"
"AM"
"ATOMIC"
Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A terrifying explosion instantly engulfed the Watertower.
Leon, who bore the brunt, remained unmoving like a nail firmly driven into the void, fully enduring the light, heat, radiation, and kinetic impact of the nuclear explosion.
At this moment.
The kinetic absorption and energy deflection of the Vibranium Body first took effect, and the newly signed Haki also provided a certain degree of obstruction.
However, because the 'Armament Haki' was almost starting from Zero, it was as brittle as a steel plate. The 'Conqueror's Haki' could be used immediately, but without grasping its essence, its boost to himself was negligible.
So,
The Vibranium Body still bore almost all of the first wave.
After a large amount of deflection, the minimal light and heat radiation struck Leon's body, like a normal person being doused with boiling Water, but the kinetic impact was the main force of the nuclear bomb's power.
Once kinetic energy was instantly absorbed to saturation, it was then released, creating a brief vacuum, which was then instantly filled by more and stronger kinetic impacts.
As his flesh began to melt and suffer damage, Super Self-Regeneration instantly took effect, beginning a continuous process of disintegration and regeneration.
During this time.
The energy absorption of the Starlight Template and the 'I am the Nuclear Bomb' ability of the Soldier Boy Template took over the banner from the Vibranium Body, which had withstood the first wave of explosion damage, allowing it to retreat to the second line.
Large amounts of light, heat radiation, and kinetic impact were absorbed by Leon, while a small portion of gamma rays and neutron streams penetrated Leon's body, but they were as harmless as a gentle breeze.
Finally.
After such a series of attenuations, the tens of millions of degrees of high temperature at the core of the explosion.
The Adamantium Skeleton, starting at 500,000 degrees but with its melting limit continuously rising as Leon grew, remained as bright as new, calmly maintaining Leon's form from being destroyed by the nuclear explosion.
By this point.
The outcome was already decided.
