Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1173 Nuclear Bomb Cleanses the Land
The island nation's ground forces were completely wiped out, and most of the demon and spiritual users who had managed to survive were killed.

This time, the island nation went completely crazy.

The island government's response was swift and extreme, and a sense of despair spread across the country like wildfire, unable to be contained.

Conventional weapons alone are not enough to stop the millions of monsters surging from the direction of Kyoto.

Every step they take is accompanied by the loss of countless lives and the fall of cities.

In desperation, the island nation made an extreme and helpless decision - to do everything it could to launch all air-to-air missiles and weapons towards Kyoto. Even if it meant pushing the entire country into the abyss of war, it would fight to the death to stop the spread of this catastrophe.

The top executives argued endlessly in the emergency meeting, but finally reached a consensus: no matter what, the terrifying creature named "The Great Beast of the World-Destroying Demon's Lair" that was entrenched in Kyoto must be stopped from continuing to threaten human safety.

Its huge body blocks out the sun and the sky, like a moving mountain. Its size is enough to make any enemy who tries to challenge it despair. However, at this moment, the island nation has no way out, and is left with the determination to perish together with the enemy.

In the missile silo, missiles were like angry fire dragons, cutting through the night sky and whistling towards Kyoto.

These missiles not only represent the island nation’s final counterattack, but also a collective expression of all mankind’s fear of the unknown.

The trajectories of the missiles intertwined into a web of death in the air, illuminating the night sky and reflecting the determination and indomitable spirit in the eyes of the people of the island nation.

However, this was just the beginning. As the orders were given, more weapon systems were activated. Whether it was surface-to-air missiles, anti-aircraft guns or advanced laser weapons, they were poured out without reservation, turning the entire sky over Kyoto into a purgatory full of firepower.

America, the superpower with the strongest military in the world, fell into deep thought when it was learned that the island nation was launching an attack on Kyoto at all costs.

They still remember the powerful air defense capabilities of King Ghidorah during the last Tokyo disaster. The Category 6 hurricane almost swallowed up everything, and even nuclear bombs could not penetrate its defense.

But this time the situation is completely different.

The behemoth, the world-destroying monster lair in Kyoto, although of astonishingly huge size, occupying almost one-tenth of Kyoto's area, seems to lack sufficient mobility, like a huge, inescapable living target.

After an urgent analysis, American military experts believed that this was the best time to launch a nuclear strike.

If successful, it would not only be able to effectively curb the spread of monsters, but perhaps also eliminate this huge threat to the world in one fell swoop.

Such an opportunity is an irresistible temptation for any country possessing nuclear weapons.

America's strategic analysis team acted quickly, using advanced satellite imagery and reconnaissance drones to conduct a detailed analysis of the behemoth.

Despite the behemoth's astonishing size, by analyzing its structure and behavior patterns, they found that certain parts of the behemoth may be weak points, especially its core area, which may cause fatal damage if hit accurately.

Thus, a bold plan was born - to use America's huge nuclear arsenal to launch an all-round, multi-level nuclear strike on the behemoth.

However, this decision was not made lightly.

The use of nuclear weapons would mean that Kyoto would cease to exist, and even though the level of contamination from modern nuclear warheads is significantly reduced, the consequences of such a large-scale nuclear cleansing would still be difficult to predict.

Every inch of the city's land could be covered by radioactive dust, the ecosystem would suffer a devastating blow, and countless innocent lives would be lost in this man-made disaster. Preparations before the operation were proceeding intensively and in an orderly manner.

Inside the American military base, technicians wearing special protective clothing and holding sophisticated testing instruments checked the status of nuclear warheads one by one.

They carefully dismantled the protective shell and carried out rigorous testing and calibration of the nuclear fuel, detonator and control system inside.

Each procedure requires multiple confirmations, and any slight mistake may lead to irreversible consequences.

These nuclear warheads, which range from old models that are about to expire to powerful dirty bombs and hydrogen bombs, are treated equally because each weapon has its unique value in the face of this unprecedented crisis.

As the inspection work was completed, the nuclear warheads were loaded one by one onto various delivery vehicles.

Strategic bombers take off from hidden bases far away from the coastline. Like ghosts in the dark night, they fly along carefully planned routes, making sure to avoid civilian routes and densely populated areas throughout the journey.

Inside the cabin, the nuclear warhead is firmly fixed on a special launch rack and wrapped with multiple layers of protective materials to reduce the impact of the explosion on the aircraft itself.

At the same time, intercontinental missiles and submarine-launched missiles also entered the launch countdown.

Intercontinental missiles rise from silos in the vast desert or deep mountains. With a huge roar, they cut through the sky and head straight for the target.

Submarine-launched missiles are hidden in submarines in the deep sea. Once they receive an order, they quickly surface to a safe depth and are launched from underwater silos.

These missiles separated at the predetermined height and position, releasing their nuclear warheads, turning into dazzling flashes of light, like meteors across the sky, but carrying destructive power.

The design of the nuclear warhead fully takes into account the particularity of this mission.

In order to ensure that the entire body of the behemoth could be covered, scientists carefully calculated the explosion mode and power level of each nuclear bomb.

They used a variety of detonation modes, including air explosions, ground contact explosions, and deep underground explosions, in order to achieve the best killing effect.

At the same time, in order to reduce radiation pollution to the surrounding areas, the outer shell of the nuclear warhead is made of special materials that can effectively absorb and block the spread of radioactive substances during an explosion.

In addition, each nuclear bomb is equipped with a precise navigation system to ensure that they can hit the target accurately.

When the first nuclear bomb exploded over Kyoto, the entire city seemed to be lifted up by an invisible force. The light of the nuclear explosion instantly illuminated the night sky, as if day had come.

A huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and its top flashed a strange purple light, which was a sign of nuclear radiation.

Accompanied by deafening explosions, buildings were razed to the ground, streets turned into ruins, and flames and smoke intertwined into a chaotic scene.

The air was filled with a pungent smell, a mixture of burning and nuclear radiation, which was suffocating.
