Chapter 242 The Tragedy of the New World
New World, headquarters of the Bureau of Paranormal Research.
Jason stood in front of the large screen in the command center, watching the images transmitted from the front lines, his face ashen.
In the video, the giant snake is seen slithering along the edge of the rainforest.
He was incredibly fast, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.
"Chief!"
A technician pointed at the screen, his voice trembling.
"The giant serpent's energy fluctuations have stabilized at around seventy-five times the standard value for the Divine Realm, and there are no signs of further increase for the time being, however..."
"He is moving towards the nearest city!"
"At the current speed, we expect to arrive in five minutes!"
Jason gritted his teeth.
"Immediately notify the military to scramble fighter jets!"
"At the same time, urgently evacuate city residents!"
"yes!"
The technicians quickly relayed the orders.
Jason stood in front of the big screen, looking at the giant snake, and clenched his fist.
"We must stop Him..."
he murmured.
"You absolutely must..."
……
Five minutes later.
Catana.
This city, situated on the edge of the rainforest, is the largest city in the vicinity, with a population of over half a million.
Right now, the residents of this city are experiencing a nightmare.
The earth was trembling.
It wasn't the trembling of an earthquake, but a rhythmic tremor that grew stronger and stronger.
It looked like something enormous was rushing towards the city.
People were startled awake and ran into the street, looking around.
Then they saw it.
To the south of the city, a vibrant green light was rapidly approaching.
The light grew brighter and closer.
The tremors of the ground grew stronger and stronger.
at last.
People saw clearly what was in the light.
It was a snake.
A gigantic snake.
His body was over a hundred meters long.
Its scales were emerald green, gleaming faintly in the night.
His eyes were golden, vertical pupils, carrying an indescribable majesty and tyranny.
"Monster! There's a monster!"
"Run!"
"Help!"
Screams and cries rose and fell.
People fled frantically, heading north, east, west, in any direction from which they could escape.
But the snake was too fast.
He reached the edge of the city almost instantly.
then……
He began the slaughter.
The giant snake opened its mouth and spewed out a cloud of green mist.
The fog spread extremely quickly, covering an area of several thousand meters in the blink of an eye.
The person in the fog didn't even have time to scream before collapsing to the ground.
Their bodies began to rot.
Skin, muscles, bones...
Everything was rotting rapidly.
In just a few seconds, it turned into a puddle of pus.
The giant snake did not stop.
He continued swimming into the city.
His enormous body rolled over the streets, over the houses, and over everything that stood in his way.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Houses collapsed one after another, and dust filled the air.
Those who couldn't escape were trapped under the rubble, letting out heart-wrenching screams.
There was not a trace of pity in the giant snake's eyes.
Only anger.
Only murderous intent.
These people bear the curse of His people.
These are the people who killed His people.
He wanted revenge.
He will kill all these people.
Not a single one was left.
A giant snake ravaged the city, leaving ruins in its wake.
Although His body was enormous, His movements were incredibly fast.
Each drift can destroy more than a dozen houses.
Each breath he exhales can kill hundreds of people.
The entire city was trembling.
The entire city is on fire.
The whole city is weeping.
Just then.
The roar of engines echoed through the sky.
Several fighter jets flew in from a distance, leaving white contrails in the night sky.
They are fighter jets from the New World Air Force, ordered to stop the giant serpent.
"Target locked, fire!"
The commander's orders were issued.
The missile was launched from below the fighter jet, leaving a long trail of flame as it flew toward the giant serpent.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The missile exploded on the giant snake, sending flames soaring into the sky.
But the giant snake's scales were too thick.
Those missiles only left marks on His scales.
The giant serpent raised its head, its golden vertical pupils staring at the fighter jets.
He opened his mouth and exhaled another cloud of green mist.
The fog rose into the sky and instantly enveloped the fighter jets.
The fighter jet's metal outer shell began to corrode.
The dial began to malfunction.
The engine started to shut off.
Within seconds, the fighter jets lost power and plummeted from the sky.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fighter jet crashed in the city, and the explosion illuminated half the sky.
The giant snake continued its slaughter.
He went through block after block, destroying building after building.
His body was covered in blood.
But He did not stop.
He will not stop.

……
Meanwhile, Jensen stood in front of the large screen in the command center, watching the transmitted images, his whole body trembling.
In the picture, the once prosperous city has been reduced to ruins.
Everywhere there were collapsed buildings, everywhere there were burning flames, everywhere there were corpses.
The giant snake is still wreaking havoc in the city.
With each step He took, more buildings collapsed.
With each breath He exhales, more people die.
"Chief!"
The assistant rushed in, his face deathly pale.
"The military reports that conventional weapons are unlikely to inflict serious damage on that giant snake."
"Chief!"
The assistant rushed in, his face deathly pale.
"The military reports that conventional weapons are unlikely to inflict serious damage on that giant snake."
"They applied... to use nuclear weapons."
Jason remained silent.
Nuclear weapons.
That was the last trump card.
Once activated, the entire city will be razed to the ground.
Those who are still alive will also be killed in the explosion.
But if we don't use it...
That giant snake will kill even more people.
Jason gritted his teeth.
"use!"
His voice was hoarse but firm.
"Authorize the military to use nuclear weapons."
The assistant took a deep breath and nodded emphatically.
"yes!"
……
in the city.
The giant snake continued its slaughter.
He has destroyed most of the city and killed countless people.
His emerald green scales were now covered with an eerie blood flame, causing him to involuntarily let out a painful groan with every movement of his body.
But His anger had not yet subsided.
He wants to kill everyone.
Not a single one was left.
Just then.
The giant snake seemed to sense something.
He looked up and saw an object falling rapidly from the sky.
A hint of wariness flashed in his eyes.
But it was too late.
boom!
Nuclear bomb explodes.
A giant mushroom cloud rose over the city.
The blinding light illuminated the entire sky.
The shockwave spread in all directions, destroying everything.
Those who were still struggling in the ruins were turned to ashes by the shockwave.
"roar!"
The giant snake let out a mournful hiss, its body trembling violently in the explosion.
His scales melted in the high temperature, and his blood evaporated before it could even flow.
But He did not die.
He is still struggling.
They are still resisting.
At this time.
One nuclear missile after another was launched from different silos.
Fly towards the giant serpent.
Boom boom boom!
Explosions continued one after another.
Mushroom clouds rose one after another.
The entire city was completely wiped out in the nuclear explosion.
A huge crater was blasted into the ground.
The surrounding area was shrouded in radiation.
And the giant snake finally collapsed.
His body was blown to pieces.
His eyes are closed.
He died.
The nature spirits once worshipped by the indigenous people are dead.
He died from a nuclear bomb.
He died on the land He had once protected.
……
The command center at the headquarters of the Bureau of Paranormal Research was deathly silent.
Everyone stared at the big screen, at the huge crater, and at the giant snake lying motionless on the ground.
a long time.
A technician spoke in a trembling voice:
"The energy fluctuations... have disappeared."
"He...is dead!"
Cheers erupted instantly in the command center.
Some people hugged, some cried, and some collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.
Jason stood in front of the big screen and let out a long sigh.
But there was no smile on his face.
Because he knew that the price of this victory was too high.
"Have the casualty statistics been released yet?"
His voice was somewhat hoarse.
The staff member next to him quickly opened the report.
"Chief, preliminary statistics..."
He paused, his voice trembling slightly.
"Urban residents injured or killed...approximately 300,000."
"Military casualties...approximately four thousand."
"Forty-three aircraft lost."
"Eight nuclear weapons with a yield of one megaton."
Jason closed his eyes.
Three hundred thousand people.
Four thousand soldiers.
Forty-three fighter jets.
Eight nuclear weapons.
This is the price for killing that giant serpent.
And this is just one snake.
A natural spirit that has just awakened and whose strength is far from being restored to its peak.
If, in the future, an even stronger being descends...
Jason dared not think any further.
"Chief."
At that moment, a senior executive walked over and lowered his voice.
"This time, we can't hide it anymore."
"Countries all over the world are paying attention."
Jason opened his eyes and nodded.
"I know."
He paused, then gritted his teeth and said:
"Report the facts truthfully."
"Let all nations see that God... is not invincible!"
"Yes."
