Chapter 70: The End of the World Test
Time's up!
Everyone stood up simultaneously, their gazes darting in all directions. Each person was eager to witness what "end of the world" looked like.
At this moment, Chang Wei floated in the air, using psychokinesis as if it were a staircase, allowing him to stand steadily in the void.
"Full power!"
The psychokinetic restraints and insulation layers were released. In an instant, a terrifying super-high temperature of 15 million degrees descended.
Chang Wei's entire body emitted a white-blue flame.
At the core of the fire, nothing could be seen. It was purely a blinding white light, dazzling to an extreme.
The ground melted into magma at a visible speed, and then sublimated into gas!
There were no flames, no direct attacks—just the horrifying thermal radiation from the extreme heat was enough to destroy everything.
"The thermal radiation zone around me spans several kilometers... I need to be cautious to avoid accidentally reducing someone to ashes and wiping them from existence."
Chang Wei did not move. Instead, he analyzed the various states and data of his current condition.
Moreover, as the solar furnace within him underwent further thermonuclear reactions, the thermal radiation zone continued to expand!
It wasn't just the radiation. Even outside the direct radiation zone, physical effects were still present. The surrounding temperature began to rise sharply, and the atmosphere itself was being "cooked" by Chang Wei.
If he appeared over an ocean, countless billions of tons of seawater would be instantly evaporated. Just by standing still, he created a scene comparable to when Son Goku and Broly turned icy glaciers into molten earth. Looking around, there wasn't a single cooled spot—just active magma and seas of fire, without a trace of impurities in sight.
"Now, behold my Radiant Heatline!"
Chang Wei condensed energy within himself and then fired it toward a location slightly off the Sahara Desert.
A scorching white beam of light burst forth!
Upon closer inspection, the beam maintained a fist's distance from Chang Wei's mouth. Initially, it was only as thick as a finger, but as it traveled, it quickly expanded to a diameter of over a thousand meters!
Wherever it passed, even without direct contact, everything was melted and evaporated. More astonishingly, Chang Wei maintained this energy output effortlessly and felt he could unleash even more.
When the beam struck the land, it instantly vaporized the area and triggered a massive explosion!
The entire tectonic plate was violently upheaved, hurled into the air. The ground beneath, penetrated by the beam, radiated a brightness far surpassing that of the sun, and an unimaginably massive fireball erupted into the sky!
The enormous fireball, large enough to block out the sun, blinded every light-sensitive creature. From Chang Wei's position, the fireball ascending into the heavens seemed endless, its scale unimaginable.
Chang Wei speculated that the fireball's diameter might surpass that of a modern city—larger than a metropolis housing millions of people!
"Blowing up a continent? Damn, I just sent a whole tectonic plate flying into the sky!"
This result differed slightly from what Chang Wei had imagined, but it made sense. Likely, the initial Radiant Heatline's extreme temperature and power annihilated the matter it came into contact with, preventing explosions until it reached the continental shelf. Upon evaporating and penetrating untold depths of soil and rock, the beam's energy diminished, triggering the explosive reaction.
The explosion severed the continental shelf, resulting in such a violent eruption. Particularly in the confined environment beneath the surface, the explosion's force propelling the land into the sky wasn't surprising.
The entire tectonic plate was launched over a kilometer into the air, severed from the continental shelf. This upheaval caused seismic waves to ripple through the oceans. When the plate finally crashed back into the sea, it was like a 400-pound man cannonballing into a bathtub—nearly displacing all the water!
The impact sent seawater soaring tens of thousands of meters into the sky. The resulting tremors easily surpassed any tsunami humanity had ever recorded, with waves over 10,000 meters high racing toward the shores. Even the Sahara Desert felt the earth-shattering quake.
A nearly magnitude 12 earthquake rippled across the Earth. Dust of unimaginable thickness blanketed the Northern Hemisphere. Chang Wei's energy, far beyond human comprehension, caused electromagnetic interference, magnetic field disruptions, axial shifts, and alterations in Earth's rotation.
This was true annihilation.
Fortunately, all living beings had already been "collected" by an invisible force, contributing billions of genetic points to Chang Wei. After all, the quality of the harvested energy had significantly improved.
Thus, only Alice and her group in the Sahara Desert, along with international scientific and exploratory teams drawn by Chang Wei's fusion experiment, were aware of the world-ending phenomenon.
Chang Wei had no intention of leaving this world to just white-skinned and black-skinned people. If not for his own team stationed in the Sahara, he would've chosen the highest peak in China as his testing ground.
Amid this earth-shattering and apocalyptic terror, the groups in the Sahara Desert quickly converged. Only then did the scientific teams learn the concept of world-ending destruction.
"How is this possible? How could such a thing as the end of the world exist?"
But the radiance, brighter than sunlight, had already illuminated the entire world. Although Chang Wei's Radiant Heatline had ended, the lingering light and shadows remained profoundly impactful.
All they could do was pray that the destruction wouldn't reach the Sahara. Otherwise, their chances of survival were grim.
Fortunately, the scientific teams had brought abundant supplies, planning for a long stay in the desert to search for clues. If the devastation truly didn't reach the Sahara, this group of high-intelligence individuals might just manage to survive on these resources.
"Meteoric Burst!!!"
Chang Wei began exploring the technique of the Meteoric Burst. Boros had described it as converting immense internal energy into propulsion, granting speeds far beyond biological limits. With such velocity, every punch, kick, or movement caused colossal destruction.
The starship, built with materials far surpassing Earth's technological capabilities, had been utterly fragile before Boros's Meteoric Burst. This demonstrated the technique's terrifying power.
Lacking imagination, Chang Wei borrowed techniques from others to strengthen himself. After all, speed equates to power—a principle fundamentally correct.
"Boom!!!"
With just a start, Chang Wei broke through 50 times the speed of sound. He felt the intense friction between his body and the air, causing immense pain and heat!
