"That seemed a bit too much," Chen Shu muttered.
He immediately teleported away. Even from a hundred thousand meters away, he could feel the searing heat of the white sun. He was of King-level physical fitness, which spoke volumes about the terrifying power of a nuclear bomb.
*Boom, boom, boom—*
The white light surged forward rapidly, spreading tens of thousands of meters in the blink of an eye. Chen Shu didn't have time to admire his masterpiece and quickly downed a large gulp of teleportation potion, jumping hundreds of thousands of meters away. Immediately after, he summoned his Golden Slime and continued to put distance between himself and the blast, not pausing for breath.
If his guess was correct, the fiery sun would spread for at least a million meters. If it had landed on land, it would have been enough to destroy a small nation.
An hour passed.
Chen Shu, riding the Slime and aided by the Spatial Rabbit's teleports and teleportation potions, had safely escaped the range of the fiery sun.
"Is it over…?"
Chen Shu looked towards the sky. The white sun that had caused a global sensation was now dimming, clearly its energy was almost depleted.
In just an hour, the casualties among the fierce beasts were immeasurable. Chen Shu knew only one thing: the Shark Emperor was in a terrible hurry now.
"Huh?"
Chen Shu sniffed. The air wasn't filled with gunpowder, but a foul stench! It was the smell of the sea of feces! The hundred nuclear bombs had not only annihilated countless fierce beasts but had also evaporated a vast amount of seawater. This had indirectly led to a slight deterioration of the global air quality. From polluting a single sea area to polluting the entire planet, Chen Shu had done it in less than a month.
"This shouldn't have a big impact, right?"
Chen Shu touched his chin and muttered, "It's already the apocalypse. According to sci-fi movie tropes, it's reasonable for the air to be a bit bad." He found a suitable excuse for himself and then didn't worry about it much.
Compared to air pollution, there was another matter he needed to consider.
"Now, the real crisis is about to arrive, isn't it…"
Chen Shu looked at the sky, lost in thought. The Shark Emperor was now enraged and would undoubtedly use all his might to hunt him down. Moreover, Chen Shu couldn't flee back to China, or his compatriots would suffer.
Chen Shu sighed and murmured, "For this escort mission, I've really risked my life!" But the thought of the illustration book for the miraculous potions made him feel it was all worth it.
"Still have over thirty bottles of nuclear bombs left, I need to use them judiciously…"
Just as he was contemplating on the desolate island, a round of applause suddenly came from behind him.
"I'm starting to wonder if I'm the villain…"
A man in a black robe emerged, a mocking smile on his refined face.
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu turned back abruptly and looked at the small black beast on the man's shoulder, saying, "Archbishop Kong? You really are a persistent nuisance."
"Can't be helped, your threat is too great now…" Kong shrugged. "I actually didn't want to find you again, but the Pope gave me too much…"
Chen Shu sneered, "Even the Shark Emperor couldn't kill me, what makes you think a weakling like you can?"
"…"
Kong's mouth twitched. Was this Gold-tier mocking a King-tier Beast Tamer?
"Then, are we enough?"
Just then, another voice rang out. The space beside Kong distorted, and three figures in black robes walked out. One of them had a resentful look, as if his ancestral grave had been blown up, wishing he could eat Chen Shu's flesh and blood.
"Oh? Isn't that Yu? Long time no see, still this terrible?"
Chen Shu's expression faltered, his eyes filled with mocking laughter. The person in front of him was his old nemesis, and the first Archbishop Chen Shu had ever encountered!
"Chen Shu! Today, I will torture you to death!"
Yu's expression was contorted, and his mind was clearly unstable.
"If your mouth were as strong as your abilities, you wouldn't be in this situation…" Chen Shu shook his head and then looked at Kong, saying, "I say, is your Savior's Church really that desperate for people? Are you sending out all the weak, old, sick, and disabled? Maliciously feeding kills?"
"…"
Kong's mouth twitched. In reality, they hadn't wanted Yu to come along. But this fellow had been clamoring for revenge and had even threatened to die if he wasn't allowed. The Church thought that since everyone was going to die anyway, they might as well give it a try.
"Honestly, why don't you guys follow me!"
Chen Shu didn't rush to attack or escape. Instead, he started chatting casually. At the same time, he casually held his right hand behind his back and opened an invisibility potion. The liquid inside flowed out and strangely disappeared.
Kong let out a scoff, "Follow you?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, "What? I'm not worthy of being a bandit leader?"
"…"
Everyone was slightly stunned. They looked at the lingering white sun in the sky, unable to refute him for a moment. After a while, an Archbishop shook his head and summoned his five contracted spirits, saying, "You're thinking too much if you want to defect us…"
"Stop talking nonsense with him, this kid is extremely insidious, don't let him speak anymore!"
Yu roared, his only desire to get his ultimate revenge. The white dragon beneath his feet let out a roar, and a hurricane swept out, filled with astonishing power.
However, the next second, a terrifying roar echoed, as if something colossal was moving. Yu's expression was horrified, and he instinctively sensed a deadly crisis. He immediately had his contracted spirit unleash a defensive skill, but it was still useless!
*Boom!*
A heavy blow landed, and the white shield on Yu's body shattered instantly, offering no resistance at all.
"Save me…"
Yu's expression was terrified. Although he couldn't see anything, he felt that death had arrived! The others, unable to see the enemy, didn't react for a moment.
*Boom!*
A tragic wail sounded, blood splattered everywhere, and Yu's body was crushed into residue!
"What the heck!"
The expressions of the three Archbishops changed dramatically, disbelief in their eyes. A King-tier was killed instantly?! Even though Yu's strength was far inferior to the others, he was still within the King-tier. Gone just like that?
"Damn it, there's something unclean here, we can't fight!"
Kong's expression was uncertain, and he immediately opened a spatial portal, disappearing from his spot. He left only the two King-tier Archbishops behind, staring at each other with confusion and helplessness in their eyes. They hadn't expected Chen Shu's strength to be so bizarre, nor had they expected Kong to flee so decisively. For a moment, they even suspected Kong was a mole, deliberately sending them to be killed by Chen Shu.
