Chapter 499: Nuclear Blast, Defeated
"You're screwed—!"
Before Harley Quinn could finish speaking, the timer on the hundred-kiloton tactical nuclear warhead had already reached zero—
Then, a powerful shockwave accompanied by scorching firelight instantly engulfed Harley Quinn. Her crazy smiling face, along with her body, instantly turned to ash in the nearly hundred-million-degree high temperature.
On a mountaintop in an artificial park eighty kilometers away from the old district, John Constantine, wearing a yellow trench coat, continuously pulled out some colorful powders from his trench coat pocket.
Suspected human bones, several fingernail-sized gemstones, some viscous liquid, possibly blood!
After preparing the materials, Constantine began drawing complex magic runes on the barren ground. Once the complex circular magic array was completed, he took out a crystal coffin over two meters long from his trench coat pocket.
Constantine was not only a knowledgeable Black Mage, but also a Master collector who loved collecting.
He collected magic books and magic items from various cultural traditions around the world, storing these items in his friend Chas's Storage Room.
To conveniently deal with some "old friends" who came collecting debts! Constantine's iconic trench coat had a pocket similar to an extra-dimensional Space, capable of storing many magic items! Constantine placed the crystal coffin in the center of the magic array. When he saw the yellow paper pasted on the crystal coffin, and the cinnabar runes on it began to emit red light.
Constantine took a deep drag from the cigarette in his mouth, then exhaled a puff of smoke. Within the smoke, the massive magic array began to light up, and an invisible fluctuation spread in all directions—
After only one or two breaths, the smoke above the magic array suddenly condensed into a woman's form, plunging into the crystal coffin like a swallow returning to its nest.
"Whoosh!"
Inside the half-open crystal coffin, a woman with twin pigtails suddenly sat up, taking deep breaths of fresh air.
"Constantine, you bastard, can you stop mixing that soul-nourishing smoke into your crappy cigarettes in the future? You're making me smell like smoke!"
Harley Quinn raised her arm and sniffed herself. She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but she felt like her body reeked of smoke. Harley Quinn shot Constantine an annoyed look.
Constantine still looked like his usual decadent Middle-aged Man self. Facing Harley Quinn's glare, he showed no sign of getting angry.
He tapped a cigarette out of the pack, slowly lit it, and said, "I knew this mission wouldn't be simple, but I didn't expect to run into something this big!"
"How did it go? Was it smooth?"
"I dropped a hundred-kiloton tactical nuclear warhead there. Even if a real Hell Demon God descended, that should be enough to give them a hard time!"
Harley Quinn said heartbrokenly, "Let's get this straight first, my Hundred Treasures Pouch was left there. If I can't get it back, you have to compensate me for my loss!"
"Once this mission is complete, the Contribution Points will be enough for you to exchange for ten more Hundred Treasures Pouches. I didn't expect to encounter an existence comparable to a Hell Demon God this time. What exactly is the thing we're looking for?" Constantine muttered weakly, a deeply hidden flicker of desire flashing in his eyes.
He said with a hint of regret:
"Ah, it's a shame we didn't leave a camera at the scene. Otherwise, we could have seen how fun a nuclear bomb explosion is. Last time we cooperated, we dropped a ten-kiloton tactical nuclear warhead on the Red Line in that World. I wonder what the result was?"
"Hehe, I know. I went back once afterwards. The buildings near the coast on that continent were basically leveled. Those Natives who called themselves Heavenly Dragons were stingy too. We just secretly took a dozen or so of their strange-looking fruits, and they chased us all over the World! Now it's fine, we've gone our separate ways!"
Harley Quinn giggled, "The Government of that World even issued a bounty for us, saying we were great sinners who attacked the Sacred Place. Constantine, you have a bounty of 5 billion, and I have 5.5 billion—"
"That extra 500 million is probably because you used a baseball bat to smash Saint Charlos's lower body into paste, right!" Constantine looked at Harley Quinn's face, painted with Joker makeup but unable to hide her beauty. Despite his usual fondness for beautiful women, he couldn't muster any interest in this crazy companion.
After several missions together, he knew this guy in front of him was completely insane. Of course, the pot shouldn't call the kettle black; Constantine's own reputation in the Magic World wasn't great either! Judging by their skilled level of cooperation, this wasn't the first time this wolf and jackal had worked together like this!
"That's not my fault. Didn't that guy named Saint Charlos say he wanted to take me as his Slave? As a Maid, there's nothing wrong with me giving him a massage with a baseball bat, right? Who knew this Master's body was so weak that he couldn't even withstand that much force!"
Harley Quinn tossed her twin pigtails and said with a face full of smiles.
When Constantine thought about the miserable state of that guy wearing a bubble head he saw on that bubble island back then, he felt a chill down below.
"Wait! It's been so long since you launched that nuclear bomb! Why is there still no movement!"
"Impossible! I saw that nuclear bomb explode with my own eyes. My physical body was destroyed in the nuclear bomb explosion—"
The two stood on the Mountain Peak, looking towards the old district simultaneously. Constantine and Harley Quinn's keen perception clearly detected a terrifying power exploding not far away. The area where the old district was located, a small piece of Space, almost instantly shattered.
All natural forces there were occupied, torn apart, and destroyed by the destructive energy!
"The power of the nuclear bomb was suppressed?! What a terrifying existence!" Looking at the Current World, which was only slightly vibrating but otherwise unaffected, Constantine quickly realized something. He looked in the Direction of the old district and muttered to himself.
That Alley ghost domain, which didn't exist on the Magic City map and was shrouded in thick mist, was instantly leveled at the moment of the nuclear bomb explosion. Everything within the thick mist's alleys turned to ash in the scorching firelight.
The ancient architecture on the Ground, characteristic of the Republic of China and late Qing Dynasty periods, was shattered into pieces by the shockwave containing nuclear radiation and heatwaves.
Inside those ancient buildings, some old ghosts wearing qipaos or changshans were instantly purified by the light and heat comparable to the Sun, under the Human World's most powerful thermal weapons. They turned into wisps of green smoke and vanished.
"What the hell! What happened? Why is there such a big pit here!?"
Inside a Western-style house with a sign outside that read 'Zhao Mansion', Zhao Li was wearing a bathrobe, embracing a beautiful woman in a qipao with a voluptuous figure. Under the sensual music playing from a phonograph, they were dancing gracefully in the mansion's Hall.
On a sofa chair nearby, Xia Dongqing and Wang Xiaoya had their heads leaning together, whispering something and laughing.
The next second, the few of them appeared at high altitude. The cold night wind blew past, making Xia Dongqing shiver.
Zhao Li lowered his head and saw a large pit hundreds of meters wide on the Ground, emitting thick smoke—
When Zhao Li raised his head again, a figure wearing a black long dress and a top hat was already standing before him. That face was terrifyingly cold.
