Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 394: Shadow Beyond Time
As an eyewitness who "observed" the entire process of this asymmetric war on the sea, Xia Youjie soon met the person he was very familiar with.

"Jie, long time no see."

At this moment, many words that Xia Youjie wanted to say and ask came to his mind, but in the end, all he said was the same sentence "Long time no see". The person in front of him had hardly changed at all, and looked exactly the same as he remembered, even the appearance he remembered when he was a child decades ago.

In this operation against the White Eagle Fleet, in the end the cursed spirits that he controlled with his own magic actually played a very small role. Although they were effective, the speed was too slow. By the time he controlled the cursed spirits to deal with a small part of them, the divine Source One in the sky had already wiped out their entire army.

"It seems that everyone's judgment is somewhat inconsistent. Genichi can probably solve it easily by himself."

After struggling in his own thoughts for an unknown amount of time, Xia Youjie finally took the initiative to speak: "I heard from Wu that he is planning... to be more precise, a war planned by you is about to begin?"

Kamiganichi kept smiling and had no intention of hiding anything from Geto Suguru. Besides, the latter probably had some understanding of the whole situation now.

"Yes, I think we will meet again soon, but then I will have to play the role of a villain."

Xia Youjie did not try to ask why. Then Shen Yuanyi patted him on the shoulder and said, "You should go. Leave the things here to me. By the way, you are now responsible for command and for the people, right? Then remember to evacuate the irrelevant people nearby. It will probably be a nuclear attack here soon."

When Xia Youjie heard this plain exhortation, his pupils suddenly shrank. Nuclear strike... He did not even doubt the truthfulness of Shenyuan's words, because there was no need for the latter to deceive him at all.

Although this coastal city had already been evacuated by most people because of the White Eagle Fleet, after all, no one wanted to put their own safety at risk under the upcoming artillery bombardment.

But if it was a nuclear strike, the nature would be completely different. I'm afraid the nearby area would have to be further cleared. After taking a deep look at Shen Yuan, Xia Yujie turned around and left without any extra words.

Having Geto Suguru tell the people behind him that this place will be hit by a nuclear attack is also a step in Shen Yuanyi's plan. Let those who deserve to die die, and let those who don't deserve to die go. This has always been a principle that Shen Yuanyi follows.

After Geto Suguru left, Kamigon Ichi said to Urusei Hengzi who landed beside him: "Send an announcement to the White Eagles, saying that I will welcome all their means in this coastal city, but no matter what, I will crush them!"

"Yes, sir!"

After Wu Lu Hengzi left, Shen Yuanyi did not make any other moves. He then came to the beach and sat on a tall rock, watching the waves rise and fall, swallowing up the fragments of the White Eagle Fleet, and then returning to its seemingly unchanging appearance.

……

The news that White Eagle was going to launch a nuclear attack on Japan, of course, caused great panic among the people of Japan. This was almost nonsense. Anyone who knew that a nuclear bomb might explode over his head would feel that kind of bone-chilling despair.

What is even more despairing is that they have no way to deal with this. The government, the Neon government, has lost its functions. If it weren't for those sorcerers who stood up to maintain order, Neon would have fallen into a state of anarchy and chaos.

Protest? Who should we protest to? The United Nations? Is it possible that the United Nations is a "table" set up by a few major powers, and its power comes from those chess players, rather than power created out of thin air?

Haven't you seen that since White Eagle made the announcement, there have been few forces that can oppose the statement? Although the East Country is openly opposed, it only takes a little thought to know that without the East Country's nod of agreement, how could the White Eagle now easily detonate a nuclear bomb so close to it.

Perhaps the only consolation is that White Eagle clearly pointed out its target of attack, and the equivalent of the nuclear bomb to be dropped is not particularly large. They have already begun to evacuate and will most likely not be involved in the range. White Eagle's move is more like a demonstration or targeting other targets.

This is probably a blessing in disguise, and this kind of comfort is the only thing they can do now.

The city of Haibin is now as empty as a ghost town, and Shen Yuanyi is one of the only few living people still here. A figure fell from the sky, it was Wu Lu Hengzi who came back to report after finishing his work.

"My lord, everything is ready."

Shen Yuan waved his hand, his eyes still fixed on the sea that was always moving but in some ways unchanging: "If you are fine, then you can leave first. By then, the scope of influence will be very large. After today, the whole world will have a deep understanding of this thing called spell..."

Wu Lu Hengzi bowed and retreated. She would only carry out Shen Yuanyi's "orders" unconditionally. Even if she was asked to stay and face the subsequent destruction, she would not have any idea of ​​objection. It was not because she knew that Shen Yuanyi had the power to reverse her life and death, but a pure and unconditional trust.

In fact, Wu Lu Hengzi has not forgotten what Shen Yuanyi once said. Since the adults have said that their final ending will be eternal death, then this future will definitely come, and she will gladly accept it.

----

The sun in the sky has gently set into the sea, and the stars and the moon in the night sky are beginning to reveal some of their colors. Shen Yuanyi and the countless people who have been observing this place in various ways have finally waited for what they have all been waiting for.

woo-

A shrill alarm suddenly sounded. It was the result of the air defense alarm left in this empty city that had not yet stopped working automatically working. Not only here, but also the surrounding cities had sounded the air defense alarm. Shen Yuanyi walked towards the sky step by step amidst the continuous sounds.

A fighter jet from White Eagle was cutting through the night sky. The pilot was an elite selected from the White Eagle side. It was not that his driving skills were amazing. At this level, the so-called driving skills must be up to standard. This aspect was not so important. What was more important was that this person must have the determination to die.

Because White Eagle has been prepared for the possibility that the fighter plane may be intercepted, considering that the enemy's means cannot be judged by common sense, maybe a figure will fly into the air and blow up their fighter plane. The ballistic missile delivery method is not impossible, but in fact the problems faced are the same. Using strategic bombers for delivery will be more controllable, and the pilot only needs to make a little sacrifice.

When this nuclear bomb or fighter plane enters Japan's territorial waters, the nuclear bomb has entered a state of waiting to be detonated. That is to say, even if the fighter plane is shot down by the enemy in the air, it will successfully complete the air explosion. The lethality of nuclear weapons can cause considerable casualties even if it does not detonate perfectly at the designated location.

After the fighter plane successfully arrived in the Neon Sea and gradually approached the destination to a certain range, the pilot breathed a sigh of relief, because this meant that his mission had been completed by 70% to 80%. He just needed to fly to the target location, press the button to drop the nuclear bomb, and then evacuate to a safe distance.

There were no clouds blocking the view at this altitude at night, and the driver gradually approached the designated location. Then his eyes widened in disbelief, because at this moment he actually saw with his naked eyes a figure that should not have appeared at a certain altitude below.

As he was sent to carry out this mission, he certainly knew about those people with super powers. The first thing he thought of was whether these were the enemy's deadly soldiers sent to intercept him. After all, once his fighter plane was destroyed, the nuclear bomb it was carrying would trigger an air explosion, and no one could escape the subsequent destruction at this distance.

However, at this point, his mission had been mostly accomplished, so although the driver was shocked, he was not too panicked. In fact, he was a little curious. Was that blurry figure the legendary superpower? It turned out that there was really someone who could fly into the sky, just like Superman. It was incredible...

The worried pilot quickly flew to the designated location, but what puzzled him was that the figure in the air just stayed at a height where he could only vaguely see its shadow, and there was no intention of intercepting him. Could it be that this person was the target of this operation? Although it was useless to escape now, he flew into the air instead. Did he calmly accept his own death?
Could it be that... this person thinks he can withstand a nuclear explosion?
Such a joking idea suddenly popped up in his mind, and the pilot pressed the release button in an orderly manner. The nuclear warhead hanging in the cabin of the bomber was immediately dropped. The onboard microcomputer enabled it to complete the air explosion accurately. From the moment the button was pressed, the mission could be said to have been accomplished, and what happened afterwards had nothing to do with him anymore. All he had to do was turn around and stay away from the upcoming nuclear explosion site to ensure that the explosion shock wave that posed the greatest threat to him would not cause the fighter plane to crash. This was a trivial matter for modern strategic bombers.

Before leaving, the driver used his good eyesight to take another look at the direction of the nuclear bomb drop and the incredible figure hanging in the air. The latter remained motionless, as if welcoming some grand show. The driver did not have much time to think, and in just a moment, he had already moved away from this place.

……

Because of the unique killing method of a nuclear bomb, it does not need to hit any target. Instead, it only needs to complete an air explosion at the most suitable location of the target. Its terrifying power is enough to cover a very large area with shock waves, radiation, etc.

The nuclear bomb that is about to explode has a small equivalent, and its direct killing range can barely cover the city. Its planned explosion height is about 500 meters, and this height will probably only take less than a minute for it to be dropped from a fighter plane.

Dozens of seconds passed in a flash.

The Divine Source standing in the sky looked like this, and it looked no different from other missiles, with some ordinary warheads, but this was the pinnacle of human weapons. Even though its lethality was not the highest, there was essentially no big difference between them.

And then, it is time to witness this historic moment.

The warhead fell to the predetermined location. The complex fuse device reached its limit. The ignition signal caused the reaction inside the warhead to change dramatically. The next moment, a flame that could only be described as the sun rose up.

The pitch-black night was torn apart powerlessly and ruthlessly, and the infinite light blooming in the sky could be seen throughout the neon. At this moment, the darkness was temporarily reversed into day by the great power of mankind.

After the first light radiation appears and then the other invisible radiation spreads, what will follow should be high temperature and shock waves that spread at a terrifying speed, causing the most widespread casualties and destruction.

The ability to destroy a city and terrify countless people with the most significant results mostly comes from these two factors. However, no matter which one it is, it is the same for those who are unfortunately in the direct killing range of a nuclear explosion, because it will not give humans any time to react. It only takes a moment for the weak human body to be vaporized, and all that can be left is probably a little "shadow" on the ground.

But... on this night as bright as day, the countless people who were observing the nuclear explosion site in various ways witnessed this miracle together, an incredible scene that transcended the scope of human beings and could only be described as a "miracle."

The sun above the sky is fixed in the air!
The scene of a nuclear explosion is often likened to a sun because the light of its first explosion is so huge and blazing. The scene at that moment is as awe-inspiring as the stars in the sky, but what follows should be the explosion cloud it causes, which is the scene that is large on the top and small on the bottom, commonly known as the "mushroom cloud."

However, at this moment, the light, which should have lasted for a moment, stayed in the air. The explosion and other reactions that followed did not occur as expected. Time stopped at this moment.

"Impossible! How can light still exist if time stops? Why can we still see the scene there?"

"Bullshit, time is originally a concept given by us artificially. Strictly speaking, entropy increase is a more appropriate description!"

Countless people around the world started arguing because of this scene. The emergence of spells or supernatural powers can be said to have crushed all the physical rules of reality, which of course are limited to those that humans have understood and summarized.

However, Shen Yuanyi, who was at the scene at the moment and was the instigator of all this, had no time to think about these things. He was fully immersed in his own...'perfect moment'?

He was not unfamiliar with this state. It was nothing more than reaching a certain level of selflessness in spells. The body, mind and intention were highly unified, which made the performance of spells reach a very high level. But this time it was really different, because he was trying to reach a level that was extremely difficult to achieve with his own technique.

The only few times he did so were not unfamiliar, that was when he traveled through time and space, reversing, accelerating... and using the technique to the extreme, thus breaking through the barrier of time and space. In this process, jumping from time and space A to time and space B, in a sense, Shen Yuanyi has transcended time.

So what if we use the technique to realize it in reality? Can we achieve the saying in the East Country, "jumping out of the three realms and not being in the five elements"? The answer is yes. It is very difficult to do, but for the current Shen Yuanyi, the difficulty is meaningless, so he still achieved it.

The effect was also significant. He completely controlled the time in this area, condensing the infinite light and heat at this moment. He did not need to use means such as reversing time to avoid all obstacles.

At this moment, he has transcended time.
