Swallowing the Stars: I, the New Master of Babata

At the same time that Dongqing and Thor were fighting.

The five major powers almost exploded on the spot.

Without him.

The lingering aftermath of the battles between the world's second and third largest economies.

That would be enough to destroy any nearby base city.

It's not an exaggeration.

but facts.

An ordinary first-tier planetary-level martial artist, within a kilometer radius, as long as they are not at the epicenter of an explosion, will not die even if subjected to a nuclear bomb with a yield of hundreds of millions of tons.

This statement alone shows that the invincibility of planetary-level warriors is not just a joke; even nuclear weapons have little effect on them.

As long as a planetary-level martial artist is unwilling.

Not the kind of person who actively seeks death.

Unless a nuclear bomb travels at speeds exceeding Mach 20 and detonates precisely at point-blank range.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to forcibly kill a planetary-level warrior using a weapon like a nuclear bomb.

This is only a first-tier planetary-level martial artist.

The effect of a planetary-level ninth-tier planet is even smaller.

If it's not intuitive enough.

Then the strength is benchmarked.

The basic punching power of a first-tier planetary-level martial artist is approximately 2000 tons.

A planetary-level ninth-tier martial artist's basic punching power is over 100 million tons.

Each time a planetary-level martial artist advances one rank.

The power almost doubled.

Never underestimate the power of exponential growth. Even a basic punching force of 2000 tons can double to 4000 tons, and double it twice to 8000 tons.

The third time was 16,000 tons, the fourth time was 32,000 tons, the fifth time was 64,000 tons, and the sixth time was 128,000 tons.

Seven times, 250,000 tons.

Eight times, 510,000 tons.

Dong Qing: Planetary level nine, its power has exceeded one million tons.

Thor: Planetary level 7, with a strength exceeding 250,000 tons.

If the force is still not intuitive enough.

We'll use humanity's most powerful weapon.

Nuclear weapons are the benchmark.

Calculate its equivalent.

If we use a typical first-tier planetary-level martial artist as the standard to calculate the yield of a nuclear bomb, the force of a first-tier planetary-level martial artist of two thousand tons can roughly unleash the power of a nuclear bomb with a yield of one hundred million tons.

A planetary-level ninth-tier martial artist, capable of withstanding a nuclear explosion at close range without dying instantly, possesses a physical body strong enough to withstand a nuclear bomb pointed at their face without dying.

Let's convert it.

Thor's full-force attack has an explosive output level roughly equivalent to 64 billion tons of TNT.

The conventional force level of the Dongqing reached an astonishing 256 billion tons of TNT equivalent.

In contrast.

The largest nuclear bomb ever detonated in human history, the "Tsar Bomba," had a yield of 5000 megatons of TNT, while the yield of TNT was only one five-hundredth of that of the Eastern Qing.

Throughout the Cold War, the total yield of all nuclear warheads held by the United States and the Soviet Union was only 200 billion tons of TNT equivalent, just four-fifths of that of the Soviet Union.

this means.

The combined conventional combat strength and kinetic energy mass of Dong Qing alone.

That is roughly equal to the total of all nuclear arsenals in the history of human civilization.

So it's no wonder the five major powers almost exploded on the spot.

The main event was Dongqing setting off fireworks over the Indian Ocean.

Such terrifying energy fluctuations.

That's enough to terrify any ordinary person.

........

About ten minutes ago.

Five major national monitoring centers.

"Report!"

"An unusually high energy fluctuation has been detected in the central Indian Ocean; its exact magnitude... cannot be estimated!"

On the huge display screens of the five major monitoring centers, two glaring red dots are flashing in the center of the Indian Ocean, indicating that the specific energy readings have exceeded the monitoring limits of all monitoring instruments.

The monitoring center's primary responsibility is to monitor the movements of global King-level monsters, prevent large numbers of King-level monsters from gathering, and prevent the two Emperor-level monsters from escaping from the deep ocean.

The previous sudden attack by the Octopus Beast King and the Thunder Dragon King.

It certainly caught the five major powers off guard.

However, with the establishment of monitoring centers in the five major countries.

Level 1 beast tides are now rare.

Level 3 rat infestation.

This is an exception.

Because the powerful force behind a disaster like a level-three rat swarm is not the rat beasts themselves, nor the rat king in charge of command.

Rather, it is the damage caused by billions of rat beasts to lower-level martial artists and ordinary people that cannot be prevented through monitoring.

Currently, the monitoring centers of the five major countries can only monitor global energy fluctuations.

There's nothing we can do for now regarding the massive underground populations of rat-like beasts and sea monsters.

"Just now, the energy reaction in the center of the Indian Ocean has reached a peak equivalent to 100 billion tons of TNT."

"What's worse is that the energy reaction is still escalating rapidly. If a collision of this magnitude were to occur on land, even just the aftershocks, any base city would be wiped off the map."

Heads of the monitoring centers of the five major countries.

Sweat was already streaming down my forehead.

"We must find out exactly what happened, at all costs."

Within a very short time, all staff at the monitoring centers of the five major powers reached a consensus and mobilized all top-tier reconnaissance military satellites, targeting the center of the Indian Ocean.

Soon, high-definition images from the military satellites of the five major powers plunged all the staff at the monitoring centers of the five powers into an even deeper silence and uncontrollable trembling.

at the same time.

Inside the meeting room of the Planetary Security Defense Council.

It simultaneously plays live footage from space.

The satellite images alternated between extreme clarity and distortion.

It was as if even the satellite's sensors trembled before that terrifying power.

But everyone understood it.

The one raging and violent is Thor.

Thor's body had now transformed into a white-gold lightning bolt that tore through the sky.

Each slash carved a deep, bottomless trench a thousand meters deep into the sea.

What's even more chilling is another presence: infrared imaging from military satellites shows that an ultra-high temperature and low pressure zone with a diameter of over ten kilometers has formed around Dongqing's body.

That was the "absolute vacuum zone" he created after extracting all the air from the battlefield. This was no longer a combat technique, but a rewriting of the rules of physics and a manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth.

Combat skills?

Too flashy!

Faced with absolute power.

Skills are just toys.

However, before the five major powers could react...

An even more shocking scene unfolded.

A towering, giant phantom slowly emerged from behind Dong Qing. The military satellite was positioned at eye level with the giant's waist.

Its upper body disappeared into space, its shoulders brushed past a satellite in low Earth orbit, and it even deliberately winked at a military satellite.

So cute!

Of course.

A phantom is just a phantom.

It's not actually that big.

Based on data observations from the five major powers' most advanced military satellites.

The actual height of this giant is only 9,999 meters.

"Thor and the Azure Emperor usually get along well, why are they fighting?"

"Report: Lei Lei appeared in the Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan base city a few minutes ago!"

"Lei Lei, Thor's daughter, what is she planning to do in the Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan base city at this time?"

"Don't worry about Lei Lei, she's just a high-level war goddess, she can't cause any big trouble."

Although a high-level War God is already a powerful being that ordinary people dare not look up to.

But in the eyes of most beings beyond the God of War, they are merely slightly larger ants.

The same reason.

In the eyes of the current three giants of Earth—Hong, Thor, and Qingdi—…

Other planetary-level powerhouses, who haven't comprehended the laws and domains, are also ants.

"Wait a minute, even Thor at full power is no match for the Azure Emperor."

"It seems the Azure Emperor has become even more powerful, but I wonder how he compares to Hong..."

The formidable strength displayed by Dongqing surprised the five great nations and the HR Alliance, because the stronger Dongqing became, the more confident they would be when facing the Limit Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School.
