My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races

Chapter 352 198: The Trump Card

BOOM!

The Uranium Dragon roared in frenzy, unleashing a series of world-destroying nuclear blasts, ultimately shattering the Celestial Vault Protective Shield of Jinghai City.

The terrain and buildings within the city were completely exposed and left unprotected.

But it had clearly missed its chance, as the vast majority of people had already evacuated to the underground of Jinghai City, except for the unlucky few who had difficulty relocating, everyone else who could escape had fled.

ROAR!

The Uranium Dragon let out a dragon's cry and began to release nuclear explosions, wantonly destroying the surface structures.

Whole districts were destroyed, skyscrapers were leveled, blinding light and shockwaves rampaged everywhere, radiation polluted the soil and vegetation... In the blink of an eye, everything on the surface of Jinghai City was gone.

Hundreds of nuclear breath strikes came down, the terrifying commotion was truly earth-shattering, with shockwaves extending thousands of miles away.

This was the might of an Emperor.

It could easily annihilate a city or nation.

The city was so destroyed as were homes where people had lived for many years, the schools, companies, parks, supermarkets, hospitals... all were gone.

To say one wouldn't feel heartbroken is impossible.

But despair is also not necessary.

Because in today's technologically advanced era, with the help of AI, these building complexes could be printed and restored to their original state in a short span of time. All the infrastructure work could be done by AI, and skyscrapers could be directly printed!

The true body of Jinghai City was actually the Underground City.

In the Underground City, there were thousands of production factories, with resources sufficient to meet the living needs of nearly ten million people.

The destruction of the surface city wasn't a big deal, it could just be rebuilt.

As long as the Giant Hero and the people were still there, Jinghai City could rise again, to its peak in a decade or so.

However, the rampage of the Uranium Dragon still caused significant economic losses to Jinghai City, and people hated the Uranium Dragon with a passion.

Even their homes were bombed, how could they not hate?

"Damn the Blood Race and the Empire, I'll remember this grudge, just wait and see!"

"It's over, rebuilding the city will take years, during which we'll have to live underground, sigh."

"Damn! Why is my life so tough? Just took out a mortgage for a house, the renovation wasn't even finished, and the house got bombed... What's most infuriating is that I still have to keep paying the mortgage to the bank! Damn damn damn damn damn!"

"...I never thought my first unemployment would be because my company was bombed?"

"Hehe, the school's gone too, great, an extended vacation!"

"Don't get too happy, there's a school in the Underground City too, and it's militarized, you'll be in for it, you brat!"

"Huh? What the hell!"

...

For a moment, grievances soared in the Underground City, and people were venting their inner anger and hatred.

But compared to material losses, people were more concerned about their own safety.

Their lives were the most important thing.

Houses and jobs could be regained.

But life was only one, and once gone, it was gone.

The most important thing right now was to save lives, to survive this catastrophe!

"Everyone, don't be afraid, with the Giant Hero here, we'll be alright."

"Why hasn't the Commander-in-Chief appeared yet?"

"Hurry and activate the Giant Hero, take out that damn dragon!"

"The enemy is too arrogant, we also have an Emperor Level Strategic Mecha in Jinghai, please, Commander-in-Chief, show up quickly, let this stinky dragon taste the prowess of humanity!"

...

For a moment, people were filled with righteous indignation, and shouted for the Giant Hero's Commander-in-Chief to come out and get justice for everyone.

However, even after several minutes of shouting, there was no response.

The Commander-in-Chief still did not appear.

The Strategic Mecha was prepared for the War of Ten Thousand Races, and due to limited resources, could not be easily used. The Human Federation has always advocated cautious warfare for the future of the race.

You can't just exhaust strategic resources before the next Celestial Convergence. If the War of Ten Thousand Races comes before you even recover, then the Human Race is doomed!

So, whether or not to activate the Giant Hero Mecha, only the Commander-in-Chief could decide, regardless of how loudly others shouted.

If the Commander-in-Chief didn't agree, no one could activate the Strategic Level force.

Clearly, under Jinghai's current conditions, the Commander-in-Chief didn't think they met the conditions for activation.

Because the defense capabilities of the Underground City were too strong.

It was designed as a super underground fortress by humanity to fend off foreign invaders, not only with a special structure but also a very tough all-around energy shield. Even a low-level self-looping city like Jinghai City could withstand full Emperor-level assaults to a certain extent.

The Giant Hero was even more "solid", although its attack power was only at the Emperor Peak Level, the Human Federation's Strategic Mecha was initially generally designed for a different purpose.

The Strategic Mecha, in times of chaos, could serve as a moving home for humanity, providing a safe shelter where all necessary resources for living could be produced within the mecha, achieving self-sufficiency.

So, the Strategic Mecha was initially designed as a "habitat".

This meant its defense, resilience, and survival capabilities far exceeded its combat capabilities.

The Giant Hero of Jinghai City, though an Emperor, could withstand Catastrophe Level attacks!

Therefore, unless the Underground City was infiltrated and breached by enemies, the Commander-in-Chief was unlikely to activate the Giant Hero Mecha.

Don't be fooled by the ferocious chaos caused by the Uranium Dragon outside, the six million citizens of Jinghai City have a retreat plan in place. If the surface is overrun, they will retreat underground; if the Underground City is compromised, they can still seek refuge in the Giant Hero Mecha.

Unless a Catastrophe Level threat intervenes, the enemy can forget about breaching Jinghai's defenses.

The enemy seems to have realized this too.

The Uranium Dragon's situation is unknown; it rampaged on the surface for thirty minutes before the silver glow on its dragon form gradually dimmed and its ferocity significantly decreased.

...

Elsewhere.

A massive battleship activated its stealth system, quietly hidden within the clouds thousands of kilometers away from Jinghai City.

Aboard the ship, in the conference room, a group of high-ranking commanders dressed in imperial uniforms are watching the battle in Jinghai City via holographic images.

"Damn it, the sneak attack failed." A commander said, looking displeased and confused, "When was our operation exposed? How did Jinghai City's AI know we were coming?"

"We'll investigate and hold accountable afterward." Beside him, another person said gravely, "Failure is failure; let's think about what to do next."

This was supposed to be a meticulously planned strike.

The Empire paid a hefty price, using a priceless magic item to stealthily transport the Emperor Level Uranium Dragon right above Jinghai City.

In theory, it shouldn't have been detected by radar or any other sensing methods.

All it needed was for the Uranium Dragon to silently strike at Jinghai City, catching them off guard, and the city defense system could have been breached swiftly.

In such a short time, Jinghai City wouldn't have had the chance to evacuate everyone on the ground, at least a quarter would have been left behind, facing the apocalyptic nuclear explosion of Uranium Dragon, dying without a trace in terrifying heat and radiation.

But clearly, Lu Xun's "Celestial Sense" was superior, foreseeing this crisis, and hence reminded his AI aide.

Due to Xi's earlier reaction, Jinghai City's Celestial Vault Protective Shield was activated at full power, forming the most robust fortress defense, so the Uranium Dragon took a long time to breach the city-protecting energy shield.

While the people of Jinghai had already fled!

So, the commanders from the Empire are now furious.

They originally expected to kill at least over a million people in this ambush, but now what? They don't even know if there were a hundred casualties...

The effort and reward are completely disproportional.

That magic item was secondary, the energy source for the Uranium Dragon was the key.

Yes, the Uranium Dragon isn't a true emperor-level life form, but an alchemy weapon.

Similar to strategic mecha, every activation of the Uranium Dragon requires a huge consumption of rare crystal energy.

As the saying goes, one shot from the cannon costs tens of thousands in gold.

This Emperor-level Uranium Dragon fought for just thirty minutes and consumed resources worth at least seventy billion Human Federation currency.

The key is that the ambush still failed!

This made the Empire group feel heartache to the point of breathlessness.

Although these were sponsored by the Feather God Race, received freely, it was still painful!

"What now? Everyone in Jinghai has retreated into their protective shell; it's hard to attack forcefully." A middle-aged commander said gloomily, looking at the chief commander, "The Feather God Race promised us celestial calamity weapon, but it hasn't arrived. It's infuriating; the Blood Race received their celestial calamity weapon early, but we, the Empire, have yet to receive anything. The Feather God Race is too biased!"

This person sounded envious, and the others shared the sentiment.

Equally serving as subordinates, why does the Blood Race get to enjoy the master's choice meat first, while the Empire is left at the back of the line?

"Sigh, let's wait a bit; surely we will receive it eventually. But the Feather God Race is under pressure too. Although they want to weaken the Human Federation, they have no intention of fully declaring war on them. Yesterday, the Human Alliance Military already issued a severe reprimand and warning to the Feather God Race. Providing us with Catastrophe-level weapons can hardly be explained as 'selling arms' or 'doing business'."

A general said to the group, "Rest assured, I've asked around. In a few days, we should receive assistance just like the Blood Race."

Dealing with the Human Federation is exceptionally difficult; their strength is immense.

Though they lack Catastrophe-level combat power, the Empire has at least a dozen Emperor-level weapons like the Uranium Dragon, Plutonium Dragon.

Globally, the peak combat power of most ordinary small countries barely reaches Saint King Level.

What does having more than ten emperors mean?

It's no exaggeration to say this combat strength can absolutely crush 80% of countries and races globally.

Yet they can't even take a fourth-level small broken city at the border of the Human Federation!

It's not just Jinghai City; other cities are the same. Once attacked, it doesn't matter who comes; people simply hide underground, and the Empire can only stare helplessly, unable to act.

So far, over sixty self-looping cities have been attacked by the Empire and Blood Race, yet none have been breached.

"Ahem, General, I have some important intelligence to report."

Suddenly, someone from the corner of the conference room spoke.

"Hmm?"

The general paused momentarily, then realized and gestured to dismiss the others, leaving only the officer who spoke earlier.

"Go ahead, Lao Si, is it intelligence about the Celestial Human Group?" The general looked at him, asking.

The Celestial Human Group is the Empire's espionage agency, all members are superpower users.

Lu Xun once killed two members, one skilled in truth-telling techniques and supergravity fields, the other a possession-capable "Puppet Master."

The organization has more than just two members, boasting hundreds of ace spies with Otherworld People identities.

And this man named "Lao Si" is notably the leader of the Celestial Human Group, overseeing the entire espionage organization.

"Is the General frustrated with the inability to conquer this city?" Lao Si gestured toward Jinghai City in the distance, inquiring.

"Nonsense." The general rolled his eyes, "Before obtaining the Celestial calamity weapon, we couldn't even take a small city. The Uranium Dragon's energy is depleted and it's been recalled. Currently, this Jinghai City is only observable, not attainable. Don't beat around the bush, spit it out already!"

Upon hearing this, Lao Si smiled mysteriously and whispered:

"Fear not, General. Truthfully, I've prepared a contingency."
