Thermonuclear weapons, the pinnacle of human technology.

Also the most powerful weapon to date.

Even though the whole world is changing, and everyone is beginning to gain Extraordinary Power.

But why do some orders still persist, without major chaos occurring?

The fundamental reason is that at this stage, some Awakened individuals still cannot resist powerful thermal weapons.

Nuclear weapons can even kill any powerful being at this stage.

Including some Beast Kings.

At the same time, it is also the most important reason for the continued stability between nations.

It can be said, whether in the old era or the new era.

Thermonuclear weapons.

Are truly weapons of mass destruction.

However, with the passage of time, such weapons of mass destruction will eventually become obsolete.

Just like now, Lu Yuan knows that Mount Olympus might use thermonuclear weapons to deal with him.

But he still chooses to go, just to test whether he can remain unscathed under a nuclear strike in his current state.

That's right.

Completely unscathed.

Because Lu Yuan knows very well that he has an extremely strong physique now.

Even the strongest weapons of mass destruction cannot kill him.

But whether he would be harmed remains uncertain.

However, he wants to give it a try.

To attempt in the strongest state.

All the preparations made during those days of seclusion can be verified this time.

And only then can the forces represented by the Divine Knight and the Holy Angels truly sense an unprecedented crisis and be deterred, ultimately leading to the complete formation of the Human Alliance.

Regarding this, Lu Yuan is confident in his heart, so he doesn't withdraw, and only responds with "No worries" to Old Ji.

"When we reach the Holy City at the foot of Mount Olympus, you go somewhere else to wander around, and wait for my summon."

Thinking of this, he patted the back of the Golden-winged Roc and instructed.

He can be fearless of the destructive power of thermonuclear weapons.

But it's probably very dangerous for the other party.

Therefore, it should stay as far away as possible.

"Ah...? Yes, Master."

The Golden-winged Roc, hearing this, was somewhat puzzled.

However, it said nothing, knowing it's better to listen to the master's words.

Soon after.

Lu Yuan said nothing more and looked forward.

Meanwhile.

In the ancient castle on Mount Olympus.

The Divine Knight and the Holy Angels sat side by side, their expressions serious.

Standing on both sides were people wearing armor and some in priestly robes.

Representing the two major forces of the Church Court and Mount Olympus.

The strength of these people is also in the Awakening Realm.

They are truly elite.

At this moment.

Everyone was silent, quietly waiting.

According to calculations, today that Lu Yuan should appear.

And everything has been arranged by them.

Only the target character is missing.

"Report!"

Soon, a Westerner walked into the great hall of the ancient castle, also a powerful Awakened.

He slightly bowed to the two of them, then said, "Sirs, that Eastern Lu Yuan has already entered the detection range and should reach the Holy City in about half an hour."

"Good!" Hearing this, the Divine Knight immediately stood up, their eyes sparkling.

The Holy Angel next to him also smiled, finally, he has come.

It seems.

Everything will conclude today.

"Notify the reporters we invited to start the live broadcast immediately but keep a distance to record the entire process."

The Divine Knight issued the order: "Also, let the people we sent to receive him in the Holy City stabilize that Lu Yuan."

The broadcast is for the entire world to see, to ensure that the results of this plan can reach the maximum.

Let everyone know the consequences of offending these people.

Especially the East!

"Exactly."

The Holy Angel also spoke: "Tell my followers that this is according to God's will, and they will receive God's blessing after death."

The Holy City at the foot of Mount Olympus is about to face a nuclear strike, and of course, they couldn't go down personally.

So they sent people in advance to stabilize Lu Yuan, activate the Church Court's Ancient Holy Artifact to imprison that area.

Then buy time to launch the nuclear weapon.

Everything will be settled afterward.

"Yes."

After receiving the order, the Westerner did not hesitate and walked out of the ancient castle.

"Under the thermonuclear weapon, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot resist, I can already imagine him turning to ashes." The Divine Knight said with a smile, as if knowing this plan was foolproof.

"I always feel that if it's just one nuclear weapon, it's not guaranteed. What if he doesn't die?"

But at this time, the Holy Angel spoke, with worry in their eyes.

Because in their heart there is a protagonist, they believe there might be a problem.

"Edward, my friend, one nuclear weapon is already enough."

The Divine Knight, filled with confidence as if having wisdom in their grasp: "Moreover, for someone as strong as Lu Yuan, if one strike doesn't kill him, there's no point in any subsequent deadly moves, so one nuclear missile is entirely sufficient."

Regarding Lu Yuan, there's a deep dread in his heart, aware that this person is extremely powerful, in the Shackles Realm, capable of killing Beast Kings.

Now, perhaps only the use of thermonuclear weapons would work, other arrangements would have no effect.

And if it really doesn't work, they also understand that everyone present has reached the end of their road.

But is it possible?

"Hmm."

Beside him, the Holy Angel nodded, knowing the other was very right.

But the more it's like this, the more worry fills their heart.

"Don't think too much."

The Divine Knight walked to his side, smiling: "It will surely succeed, come on, let's witness it together."

The latter didn't say much more, realizing that no matter what, he must also pray for the success of the plan.

Immediately, the two walked out of the ancient castle and headed to the middle of Mount Olympus.

There was a massive platform here.

It overlooked the Holy City below, where many journalists were stationed with high-end cameras. Although somewhat distant, they could clearly capture everything happening below by zooming in.

With the divine nature of Mount Olympus now, there was no need to worry about radiation.

As for the Holy City, it was already a sacred place.

Under the previous command of the Divine Knight, ordinary people were long forbidden from entering.

At this moment, he and the Holy Angel stood under the platform, watching the giant screen, waiting silently.

Soon, the global broadcast had started.

Taishan Trial Institute.

After receiving a message back from Lu Yuan, Ji Lao and others frowned deeply.

After all, the other side might deploy nuclear weapons, such a powerful weapon is difficult to withstand no matter how strong you are, right?

Finally, the younger Zhu Qingyu spoke up: "I think, the reason King Lu is doing this is because he has confidence in himself. I believe all we need to do is wait patiently."

These words left everyone silent, as there was indeed no other solution.

Everyone was almost there, and they already knew what the Divine Knight was planning.

But the decision to go ahead indicated they were prepared.

At that moment,

the Ice Fairy realized the global broadcast from Mount Olympus had begun.

Instantly, everyone tuned into the video and began watching, though they remained very nervous.

If nuclear weapons are indeed deployed, what will ultimately happen?

At the same time,

people both domestically and internationally who were always following the event saw the live broadcast begin and started watching.

"It's starting, it's starting, a historic meeting, I wonder if the Human Alliance can be established."

"Hmm, there's something wrong with the camera angle, why is it so far from the Holy City?"

"Yeah, it's quite blurry, shouldn't they get closer?"

"Moreover, the Holy Angels and Divine Knights don't seem to be present, their subordinates are handling the reception."

Domestic viewers, after seeing the broadcast initially, were full of anticipation, but soon noticed issues.

After all, it was too far, and those two people weren't at the scene.

Weren't they supposed to receive guests personally?

But this concern vanished quickly as people realized Lu Yuan was arriving soon.

At this moment,

in the Holy City beneath Mount Olympus,

Lu Yuan descended on a golden-winged roc.

He arrived at the central square within the city.

A dozen people were already there, waiting.

There was no sign of the Divine Knight or the Holy Angel.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan smiled. After the golden-winged roc landed, he dismounted.

The roc, following previous orders, immediately flew into the sky without hesitation, disappearing.

"Are you the Eastern Land King?"

Soon, a Western man wearing a Priest Robe, part of the Church Court's faction, approached.

He slightly bowed, wearing a broad smile: "The Holy Angels are already waiting at Mount Olympus."

"The Divine Knight also welcomes your arrival, Eastern King Lu Yuan." A person clad in Silver Armor stepped forward, speaking warmly, as if genuinely welcoming Lu Yuan's presence.

However, some people behind these two subtly shifted their positions to form a formation resembling a pentagram.

These individuals were expressionless, all part of the Church Court, with a determined glint in their eyes.

Lu Yuan naturally noticed, but his expression didn't change at all.

He simply looked at the people in front of him and softly spoke. "Since you are prepared, let's proceed."

As his voice fell,

the venue fell into silence.

Viewers of the domestic broadcast were confused.

Because they couldn't hear the dialogue, they just sensed that the atmosphere had become somewhat eerie.

But everyone knew that something was about to happen.

Could they be targeting King Lu?

Is that even possible?

With King Lu's strength, even combining the Holy Angels and Divine Knight would not stand a chance. Would they be foolish enough to just send subordinates?

"This isn't good, they're about to act." On the other side, watching the broadcast, Ji Lao and others felt a sudden unease.

Because everyone present had received the message and knew exactly what the other side intended to do.

As expected.

In the broadcast:

The five members of the Church Court took out various items from their hands.

A Holy Spear, a Holy Grail, a Shroud, a Golden Box, and a Thorn Crown.

These were the Church Court's five Ancient Holy Artifacts, rumored to be left by God, containing immense power.

At that moment, these individuals bit their tongues, letting their blood drip down.

In an instant,

the five Ancient Holy Artifacts emitted a blazing Holy Light.

The rays of light converged to form a pentagram that enveloped Lu Yuan.

Simultaneously, the armored individual spoke: "By order of the Divine Knight and Holy Angels, we impose divine judgment upon you, King Lu Yuan of the East!"

In the next moment, someone from Mount Olympus drew a dagger and pierced their heart.

Because, for the five Holy Artifacts of the Church Court to unleash their maximum power,

it required human sacrifice!

Buzz buzz buzz!

The pentagram surrounding Lu Yuan grew even more blazing, confining the surrounding space.

Lu Yuan found himself growing exceedingly heavy, as if weighed down by a giant mountain.

Yet for him, it was something he could easily break free from.

And at the same time,

the Divine Knight commanded, "Launch the nuclear weapon!"

Less than a hundred miles from the Holy City square, a small missile took off immediately.

Then, in less than a minute, it flew directly over the Holy City.

Nuclear weapon!

The scene was broadcast.

All viewers watching were utterly shocked, fear evident on their faces.

Because, they finally realized what the Divine Knight on Mount Olympus was planning.

The plan was to use a nuclear weapon to annihilate Lu Yuan!
