My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

The storm rushed into the building through the shattered windows, sweeping through the corridors and foyer.

A wave of fire followed immediately.

The fire sprinkler system activated automatically, but the intense heat instantly boiled the water, turning it into plumes of scalding steam. Many people sleeping in their rooms, regardless of age, gender, or appearance, were unbearably scalded by the steam. They dragged their blistered, swollen, and festering bodies, screaming, towards the now-glassless exterior wall, attempting to end their suffering. But just as they reached the edge of the floor, preparing to leap from the hundred-meter height and be reduced to a bloody pulp, the subsequent shockwave violently lifted them up and slammed them against the still-standing wall…

Seconds later, the core load-bearing structure of the Tokyo Tower completely collapsed. The 634-meter-tall skyscraper, engulfed in flames, snapped in half and was then lifted dozens of meters by the storm, crashing directly into the Tokyo International Financial Center, which was also on the verge of collapse…

More buildings continued to crumble, and as the impact of the nuclear explosion spread, buildings worth hundreds of billions were reduced to piles of burning rubble and ruins.

Countless innocent souls were brutally torn from their bodies and then sealed into the fiery inferno...

······

However, the forest of reinforced concrete plays a significant role in blocking light radiation and reducing shock waves. People seven kilometers away who happen to be behind a sturdy building will not die, while people inside the subway can escape death as long as they are four kilometers away.

Even if they survive, these survivors will suffer from unbearable pain and illness, because in addition to heat radiation and shock waves, the nuclear radiation from the nuclear bomb covers an area of ​​tens of kilometers, and all the survivors are directly exposed to the nuclear radiation.

Shinjuku.

Just seconds ago, Shinjuku was bustling and vibrant, but now there's no trace of its former glory. The land is scorched and the radioactive contamination will linger for decades.

There were 20 such scenes throughout Tokyo, and before that, Tokyo was undoubtedly bright, with 20 bright "mushroom clouds" clearly visible even from space.

Seven kilometers away from each "mushroom cloud".

Awooooo...

The survivors began to scream shrilly and scatter in all directions.

A man covered in blood struggled to his feet, using the tires of an overturned car as support. The scorching air made his lungs feel uncomfortable.

It was only then that he belatedly realized that his other hand had been blasted into pieces by rocks generated by the direct shockwave, and that he had multiple fractures and was in pain all over his body.

ah--!!

Amidst screams of agony, he clutched his half-severed wrist, blood gushing from it. By the light of the burning cars and buildings around him, he watched as the surrounding buildings swayed precariously, letting out feeble cries of pain.

Restaurants, cinemas, department stores… the massive steel structures, like dying animals, seemed poised to collapse at any moment. The ground was covered in dust, making it appear as if the entire city had crumbled…

There were living people with bloody holes in their eyes, charred flesh and blood scattered on the ground that looked like internal organs, skeletons that kept flaming, and ***** everywhere... He subconsciously walked in the direction the others had gone.

···

Shibuya Ward.

A woman covered in blood crawled out of the overturned bus. Her vision was blurry, and she was surrounded by dust, smoke, and the smell of burning.

She only remembers that she was on a night bus when, as the bus was arriving at the station, a blinding white light suddenly shone into her eyes, followed by a violent shaking... and then the scene before her.

Her first thought was that a meteorite had hit the Earth, but there seemed to be no extra earthquakes or flying rocks.

She walked along the still-burning flames around her. The temperature was extremely high. After about ten minutes, her eyes seemed to be able to see clearly. The unbearable heat forced her to walk towards a nearby pool or stream.

She would occasionally see people walk by, but after a few steps they would fall down again. Some would get up and continue walking, while others would never get up again.

···

The whole world seemed to feel a huge tremor, like a landslide or a tsunami, which was terrifying.

Everyone looked in the same direction; the 20 giant, mushroom-shaped pillars of fire shone brightly in the pitch-black midnight.

The night returned to calm, but the 20 mushroom clouds still lingered.

The entire city of Tokyo seemed to have been erased by time, returning to a barbaric era. The howling wind whipped up rubble and splintered steel bars, as if they were testaments to the existence of civilization. Yet, interspersed among them were specks of red, like bright red demonic flowers, blooming brilliantly.

Those who survived on the outskirts of Tokyo, whether lying or standing, all had blank stares, unable to shake off the image of this hell on earth.

The wind suddenly picked up, carrying specks of sand and gravel, as if reminding people of the danger.

People seemed to wake up suddenly, letting out horrified screams as they stared in disbelief at the hellish scene, those bright red flowers, so nauseating.

People couldn't help but let their imaginations run wild as they looked at all this.

I can't believe what I'm seeing; it's all just a dream.

What a nightmare.

But no one wanted to wake up...

P.S.: I write about war to oppose war, and I write about nuclear explosions to oppose nuclear war! Only by letting everyone know the cruelty of war can we cherish the preciousness of peace!

Chapter 104 Grown Up

The garrison building is only 6 kilometers away from one of the nuclear bombs.

When a nuclear explosion occurs, any so-called latest biochemical gas is instantly heated to several thousand degrees Celsius, becomes ineffective, and is then dispersed by the shockwave.

Kei, Kei Nagai, and everyone else present were instantly killed by the nuclear explosion, their bodies thrown backward for an unknown number of kilometers.

The moment Hui's body was destroyed, the ethereal soul detached from her body and began to spread outwards.

This unfolding is not a continuous expansion, but rather a skipping of frames.

This is a manifestation from a higher dimension to a lower dimension. If a celestial being were here, looking down from the high altitude of Tokyo, one could see a black dot. One second it was a dot, and the next it became a black curtain with a diameter of 100 kilometers.

There is no time interval in between; it's just like 1 → 2, happening suddenly without any reason. 1.1, 1.2, ..., 1.9999999, etc., are all missing.

This is how Hui discovered the method to expand her devouring range.

The moment he dies, he can expand his devouring range to a radius of one hundred kilometers.

However, this method doesn't need to be used all the time; it can only be used once a month.

And now is the perfect time to use it.

The blackout lasted for a mere 2.7431 seconds.

In those short 2.7431 seconds.

Wisdom's soul quality: 7100 million → 9000 million.

It didn't increase continuously; it only reached its peak momentarily.

Of course, Hui knew that the surge of 2000 million string souls was mostly provided by those Ajin in Tokyo who didn't yet know they were Ajin.

After all, Tokyo's entire population is only 1270 million, and it can only consume a mere 2.7431 seconds.

Hui can only devour the souls that died within those 2.7431 seconds but have not yet dissipated, and the demi-humans among them before they are resurrected.

Souls that dissipated before 2.7431 seconds or demi-humans that were resurrected, and souls that dissipated afterward, cannot be obtained by Hui.

Even so, Hui was quite satisfied.

After it finished consuming everything, under the influence of the black particles...

Hui quickly began to revive, using her torso, which was not completely destroyed by the explosion, as the core.

A moment later, Hui opened her eyes and saw a scene of building ruins. Many unknown things were still burning, emitting a pungent smell, but they also provided light for the dark night.

The sky was a hazy gray, and even in the darkness of night, countless dust particles could be seen suspended in the air.

Looking around, Hui summoned a ghost, preparing to ride it to the Void and then leave this world.

Hui knew that she would become the target of everyone's criticism in this world.

The sooner you leave, the better.

As for what will happen to this world afterward?

Hui asked, "What does this have to do with me?"

In Hui's eyes, she was just a passerby. This world was like an online game. Who would worry about NPCs in a game?

Furthermore, the notion of guilt and self-blame is utter nonsense. It should be noted that since the dawn of humanity, countless emperors and monarchs have killed far more people than humans, yet they have never experienced any pointless guilt or self-blame.

Ultimately, it's because this is one of the many inherent traits of human beings.

Throughout history, which emperor hasn't been self-centered? Their love for the people is merely self-love, because the people are their own property.

As Rousseau said in "The Social Contract," you are free, but you are always wearing the shackles that society has made for you.

The "you" here refers to ordinary people, but it is not the same for monarchs. In their eyes, they also have shackles, but their shackles are self-imposed.

This is also why those in high positions can calmly watch as millions of corpses lie in wait and blood flows for miles.

After all, can the shackles you put on yourself really restrict you?

···

The ghost carried Hui slowly into the sky.

"stop!"

With a loud shout, two disheveled figures appeared out of nowhere in front of Hui.

Huiyi looked and saw that it was Nagai Kei and Nakano Osamu.

As for Tosaki Yu, even his body could not be found.

As for Shimomura Izumi, because she risked her life to protect her lover, her resurrection time was delayed, which allowed her to be caught in Kei's 2.7431-second large-scale devouring attack, and she died as a result.

What did you do?

Although he knew in his heart that there was only one weapon capable of achieving this level of capability—a nuclear weapon—Kei Nagai still clung to a one in ten thousand chance.

He expected Hui to mention a huge quantity of explosives, not... a nuclear bomb.

Now that everything has settled, Hui is in a particularly good mood.

To be honest, in my past life I watched so many movies, TV series, comics, and novels where justice triumphs over the weak...

Before achieving final success, Hui was actually quite uncertain, constantly worrying that something might go wrong at the last minute, such as the sudden appearance of some world will or a chosen one of the planes to sabotage her plans and cause her to fail...

but!

As it turns out, reality is not a fairy tale, and the world does not revolve around humanity.

Although the deaths of nearly ten million people by nuclear bombs may seem like a huge deal to humanity in this world, it is really nothing to worry about for the entire Earth, the entire solar system, and the entire universe.

The Earth has existed for over 40 billion years, during which time there have been several mass extinctions, yet the Earth continues to rotate.

Humans, I don't know when, began to arrogantly draw a line between themselves and those extinct creatures, as if to say, we are different.

However, it is questionable whether arrogant humans, who consider themselves the most intelligent of all beings and attempt to control everything, can actually leave Earth before its resources are depleted.
