Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible.

Chapter 422 Purchase
In the outside world, when all the sounds and images echoing in my mind disappeared, chaos began to truly spread.

For the first time, people truly felt that the breath of doomsday was so strong and approaching.

Death is certainly terrifying, but the process of waiting for death to come is even more tormenting. After all, judging from the various images shown before, all kinds of technological weapons that humans rely on are vulnerable in front of that "God".

Even nuclear weapons, which represent ultimate destruction, were discarded by the other side at the first opportunity. Therefore, they really couldn't think of any other means that humans could use to prevent the god from bringing down the judgment of world destruction.

As a result, the entire order of human society collapsed in an instant. In the face of death, the so-called morality and laws no longer had the slightest binding force.

Some groups at the top of society began to frantically seek ways to survive. Thanks to the widespread dissemination of the Bible, the idea of ​​a flood destroying the world was not something unfamiliar to human beings.

As long as they have enough power and as long as the "God" is not ready to destroy everyone, these high-ranking upper-class people will always have a glimmer of hope.

As for those powerless people in the lower and middle classes of society, they either wait for death peacefully at home or go crazy in the last day. After all, apart from venting, they seem to be unable to do anything else.

It is obvious that there are far more people who choose the latter than the former. In just a few hours, all kinds of chaos such as violence, looting, even rape and indiscriminate massacres began to take place all over the world.

Especially those countries where weapons can be legally owned, such as the Federation, whose propaganda slogan is freedom. However, after just a few hours, its major cities were almost reduced to a sea of ​​fire.

The sounds of gunfire and explosions could be heard one after another in every corner of the city. Looking around, the streets were filled with people running around and boiling gunfire.

Although there is still a full day to the judgment date promised by Apocalypse, vivid doomsday scenes have already emerged around the world and are showing signs of intensifying.

On the other hand, the chaos at the grassroots level has not attracted much attention from the country's top leaders, and now they are all in a difficult situation.

If the apocalypse cannot be resolved within one day, human civilization will no longer exist, not to mention the people it rules.

Therefore, they simply do not have the energy to spare the time to resolve the "minor disturbances" of the lower-class citizens. Anyway, no matter how big the chaos is, it is impossible for it to affect the government buildings guarded by the army. Therefore, most governments have a passive attitude of letting them fend for themselves.

Faced with countless crazy mobs who know that their death is approaching, they have no way to control them, and they are also unable to discipline them. Forced suppression will often only lead to more brutal resistance. Up to now, even absurd incidents such as gathering to attack police stations and openly attacking the army with weapons often occur in the city.

And amidst the noisy and bustling sound, the red sun sets in the west and night falls.

But the quiet and gloomy night could not stop the spread of chaos, but made it more eye-catching. The once prosperous city was almost reduced to a battlefield, with blazing flames and the roar of gunfire everywhere. Even the heavy clouds in the sky were dyed scarlet by the flames rising into the sky.

Under the White House, deep rock layers isolate the noise caused by the infighting on the surface. Now most of the senior government officials and military representatives gather here.

The spacious conference room was crowded with people. As the only superpower today, the President of the Federation was of course in the main seat, while representatives from other powerful countries were all present via virtual projection.

The apocalypse threatens all of humanity. In the face of this global, world-destroying crisis, there is no division between countries, only the sum of human civilization.

After all, everyone knows that no egg will be left unbroken when the nest is overturned, so the battle plan against Apocalypse went exceptionally smoothly. Faced with the terrifying ability demonstrated by Apocalypse not long ago, they all knew that only after trying their best could they have a chance of survival.

"Gather all your strength, everyone. The price of failure is that we will lose everything we have now, so even if we have to fill the entire Cairo with corpses, we must succeed!"

"I know that the power of each country is definitely not limited to this, so our country will take the lead in sending out the Sentinel Corps as the vanguard of the battle. This is a war between humans and 'God'. We only have this one chance. I hope..."

"As for those nuclear warheads still floating in space, due to time constraints, you can deal with them based on your abilities..."

.........

The meeting in the base was still in full swing, but an uninvited guest had already appeared in the Space Department just mentioned by the Federal President.

In the vast outer space of the earth, the scene of a large number of artificial satellites operating in an orderly manner in the past is no longer there. Instead, there are large pieces of satellite wreckage and numerous scattered nuclear warheads.

Under Ah Fu's subtle guidance, Apocalypse's destruction of outer space was just right. All kinds of satellites used for observation and locking were almost completely destroyed by the surging shock wave of the explosion. Even those that were fortunately preserved completely lost their core function of connecting signals with the surface. However, the more important nuclear weapons remained basically unscathed.

In fact, if all these nuclear weapons were not detonated, the massive radioactive precipitation they produced would cause devastating ecological pollution to the environment of the entire earth, and Apocalypse's handling method would never be so "gentle".

And the current situation is exactly the opportunity that Xu Yue has been waiting for.

When the energy turbulence raging in outer space had just subsided a little, a black fighter plane that had been prepared in advance had quietly appeared in this area of ​​space dotted with numerous nuclear warheads.

Then Xu Yue, wearing a full set of space suit, jumped out lightly from the open hatch. With the help of the golden and red flames all over his body, he quickly approached a huge nuclear warhead that was about several meters long.

The silver projectile reflected a brilliant luster in the void, rubbing the smooth metal surface of the nuclear weapon. An undisguised smile gradually appeared at the corner of Xu Yue's mouth under the helmet. These tens of thousands of nuclear warheads around him were the key to whether the mutants could truly be independent in the world in the future.

Even if we only get one percent of it, from then on, the whole world will no longer dare to ignore any voice of mutants. This is the real right to speak.

Although the lethality of Magneto and Professor X is far greater than that of nuclear weapons in some aspects, they are ultimately unique exceptions. Moreover, as long as they are human, they are bound to have weaknesses. They will have concerns, compromises, and will also be injured, age, and even die silently, but the cold nuclear bomb will not. Its only purpose is to destroy.

Especially when a nuclear bomb with explosive destructive power is paired with mutants with various special abilities, the threat level is far more than just 1+1. Whether it is Nightcrawler who can teleport at will, or Quicksilver who can move at super high speed, they can easily bypass all human interception methods, thus quietly bringing a large-yield nuclear bomb into the city center and leaving calmly after detonating it.

With such a flexible combat method, in less than a day, mutants can turn any country in the world into a dark history under the shadow of a nuclear explosion, including the Federation, which is apparently the most powerful.

Of course, in order to achieve this goal, the first prerequisite is to be able to safely send a large number of nuclear bombs back to the surface. This process, which is extremely troublesome for humans, is very easy in Xu Yue's hands.

He opened his clenched right hand, and as mana continued to flow in, a rapidly expanding mirror portal began to take shape in front of Xu Yue.

After more than ten breaths, until the entire portal expanded into a huge round mirror three meters high, he stopped inputting mana.

The next thing was very simple. In the unique weightless environment of space, he only needed to hold the mirror frame, aim it at the floating nuclear warhead and cover it downwards, and the entire nuclear bomb would disappear without a trace.

Soon, more than a dozen nearby nuclear bombs were looted by Xu Yue one after another, and the whole process was as easy as purchasing goods.

Although the entire process of teleporting them from space to the surface consumed a lot of Xu Yue's mana, with his recovery speed, it was not a problem at all to transfer hundreds or thousands of nuclear warheads before humans arrived. It was just a matter of time.

Soon, another 10,000-ton-class high-yield nuclear bomb was directly swallowed by the unfolded magic mirror. At this point, with Xu Yue as the center, all the nuclear bombs within a radius of thousands of meters had disappeared without a trace.

Although tens of thousands of nuclear bombs sounds like an exaggerated number, it is insignificant compared to the vast space, so the areas where they are distributed are relatively far apart.

Fortunately, Xu Yue still had plenty of time and enough patience to slowly transmit them one by one.

After all, every time a nuclear bomb is captured, the mutant community will become more powerful, and the completion rate of his main mission will also increase accordingly.

Looking up at another area in the distance where a large number of nuclear warheads were gathered, Xu Yue pursed his slightly dry lips under his helmet, and then brilliant golden-red flames suddenly bloomed behind him, pushing him to turn into a line of fire and fly straight ahead.

.........

Surface, Kiyo Island.

When Magneto and Scarlet Witch left with Apocalypse, the actual management of the entire Kiyo Island was handed over to Mystique Raven. She was also one of the few mutants who knew Xu Yue's overall plan.

When it comes to direct combat capabilities, Mystique is far from being at the top among many mutants, but in terms of management, planning, intelligence gathering, assassination and infiltration, she is definitely an existence with all the attributes fully maximized.

The reason why the Brotherhood has been able to grow to its current scale, in addition to the powerful force of its leader Magneto as a guarantee, her efforts behind the scenes are also not to be underestimated.

In addition to the above, Mystique has something even more special, that is, she is closely connected to the complex identity of the mutant bipolar. At least in this regard, she is deeply trusted by the two major mutant leaders, Magneto and Professor X.

So when Xu Yue continued to transmit nuclear warheads in space, the task of receiving them on the surface was handed over to Mystique. Only Kiyu Island, located in a hidden place overseas, could swallow such a huge number quietly.

In the central warehouse of Kiyu Island, the large number of weapons that were stored there in the past have long been cleared out, and now what have replaced them are large nuclear warheads piled up like small metal mountains.

In the corner of the room, accompanied by a loud 'clang', another nuclear bomb fell heavily from the mirror portal that opened in mid-air. In the space environment, the nuclear bomb is naturally as light as a feather, but when it returns to the surface, almost every nuclear bomb has an exaggerated weight measured in tons.

On the other side, looking at the metal ground not far away with tiny dents, Quicksilver felt his eyebrows twitching slightly. If the nuclear warheads that filled up half of the warehouse were to be accidentally detonated, the entire Kiyu Island would probably cease to exist.

Of course, with his speed, he would be able to dodge them calmly even if all the nuclear bombs exploded close to his face, but he could do nothing to help other people on the island.

Beside him, Mystique, who was counting the number of people, did not have the anxiety of Quicksilver at all. The detonation mechanism of a nuclear bomb was no joke. Let alone a simple smash, even if there was a blazing flame, it would be difficult to trigger a critical nuclear explosion reaction.

Looking at the giant nuclear bomb being slowly lifted off the ground by the saber-toothed tiger not far away, her eyes were full of eagerness. These would become the steps for mutants to be truly independent in the world in the future. For the first time in decades, she felt that the goal of mutants no longer suffering from persecution by humans was so close.

The movement of the nuclear bomb in the room continued, and Mystique heard Quicksilver's slightly doubtful questioning voice:

"Do we really have to obey that man's orders? He's just a student of Professor X, right?"

After hearing this, Mystique paused for a moment, then her eyes slowly swept across the hundreds of nuclear warheads piled up in the room, and she said in a deep voice:

"For all this, he deserves our full obedience. This is the closest and possibly the last chance for mutants to gain true independence."

"According to the other party's plan, the guy who calls himself 'God' will eventually provide us with a worldwide friendly reputation and the best opportunity for racial independence."

"These nuclear weapons will become our best asset to intimidate the human government in the future. In addition, the modified 'X Gene Awakening Instrument' and 'Antidote' can completely dissolve the natural barrier between humans and mutants that prevents them from transforming into each other."

"After several combinations, we can deter foreign enemies and break restrictions. We can steadily absorb new mutant blood, and we can also eliminate inferior genes on our own. Only in this way can mutants be considered a truly independent race..."

After he finished speaking, Quicksilver fell into deep thought for a long time without saying a word. The only sound in the warehouse that continued to echo was the heavy footsteps of Sabretooth carrying the nuclear bomb.
