1897 Fatal Loophole
Almost at the same time, a spark lurking in the deepest part of the fuel cabin of a new armored airship was awakened from its slumber by a mysterious signal. It expanded a hundred times almost instantly and released thousands of tentacles that were as fast as lightning. They shot toward the liquid crystal fuel that contained super high energy and triggered an unstoppable chain reaction.

The liquid crystal fuel had to be fed into the crystal engine and undergo complicated procedures before it could react. At this moment, it released the energy that it had accumulated for billions of years and expanded in all directions like a tide of destruction.

Meng Chao’s enemies had already installed more high-energy explosives around the fuel cabin.

Thanks to the decades of war in the Other World, both the Holy Light faction and the Chaos faction’s strategies had made great progress.

This was especially so since the war in the Other World was different from the traditional wars in the past tens of millions of years. After a brand-new force—the Dragon City civilization—joined the war, the technology tree from Earth brought a wonderful change to this ancient world since it was completely different from the one in the Other World.

!!
Holy Light, Chaos, spirit energy, and the technology of Earth… all kinds of forces were deeply mixed in the fierce collisions. The killing tools created were at least ten times more destructive than they were decades ago.

Right now, even a “small crystal bomb” the size of a suitcase could unleash doom that only heavy railway gun shells more than one meter in diameter could unleash decades ago.

Meng Chao’s enemy, on the other hand, had filled the entire diplomatic airships with crystal bombs and refined them into enormous “man-guided missiles.”

Even with Meng Chao’s strength that surpassed the Deity Realm, it was impossible for him to stop the super bomb from detonating.

The violent explosion almost instantly turned the entire diplomatic starship, along with all the living beings and corpses inside, into burning light.

The light was like a ferocious beast that had just been born in this world, and it was trying to devour the world. It roared, danced, struggled, and expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, blocking everyone’s vision and enveloping the highest point of Superstar Company’s headquarters building.

Even the superhumans from Battle God Palace and the Broken Star Club were on the defensive and retreating.

Their outerwear and nano battle suits, which were as tough as composite armor, were torn apart by the air waves and heat waves. The hair on their bodies was scorched and burning.

Meanwhile, the diplomatic ship had already risen into the sky like the sun.

It also resembled an active volcano that was hanging upside down in the sky. It was as if lava was gushing out endlessly and swallowing everyone on the tarmac like a waterfall. It continued to flow to the top floor of Superstar Company’s headquarters building and then down the open courtyard from the top floor. Superstar Company was the symbol of the Dragon City civilization.

For the first time in ten years, Meng Chao’s face turned ashen, and he flew into a rage.

With his cultivation, he was not afraid of such a simple and crude suicide bombing attack.
Even if the intensity of the explosion was three to five times stronger, he was confident that he could fly out of the explosion range unscathed.

However, his disciples and grand-disciples were still within the range of the explosion.

The skyscraper that pierced through the sky like a javelin under his feet was not only a symbol of Dragon City, but it was also a symbol of Dragon City’s civilization, the Chaos faction, and Meng Chao himself!

He would never allow these clowns to destroy Superstar Company’s headquarters. Even if the main structure was intact, the building’s exterior would be burned to a pulp, and Meng Chao’s glorious image of invincibility would be tarnished.

Within 0.1 seconds, every cell in Meng Chao’s body seemed to wake up from a deep sleep.

His seemingly ordinary flesh and blood turned crystal clear. Every vein and nerve buried inside was emitting dazzling brilliance, like lightning that was swimming, splitting, entangling, bouncing, and reacting intensely.

His right hand, which was still behind his back, was now raised to his chest. Together with his left hand, they formed a clenched fist in the air!

Meng Chao’s gaze was fixed on the spot in front of him. Two Giant Divine Spirit Palms that could be seen with the naked eye immediately appeared around the “small sun” that was expanding at an extremely high speed…

No, it was not two, but hundreds of spirit energy hands that were overlapping and replicating endlessly.

They emitted colorful and dazzling lights that surrounded the little sun from different directions and angles.

The little sun jumped, struggled, and screamed hysterically, trying to break through the restraint of the hand of spirit energy.

The giant hand of spirit energy, on the other hand, seemed to be able to predict every route that the monster would take. It attacked repeatedly as fast as lightning, blocking the angle of the monster’s escape in advance.

Two disciples of Battle God Palace were having trouble dodging the destructive flames. Like tongues of ogres, they threatened to engulf the disciples into the small sun and burn them to ashes in an instant.

The two hands of spirit energy, however, arrived first. One of them pushed the two disciples of Battle God Palace out gently, while the other grabbed the flames tightly and stuffed them back into the small sun as if they were holding a viper.

Just like that, Meng Chao temporarily held the explosion in his hands.

Meng Chao’s expression softened slightly, but the anger in his eyes did not subside at all.

He could sense that the chain reaction inside the small sun was far from calming down.

It did not matter even if he managed to stop this insane suicide attack. The explosion on the top floor of Superstar Company’s headquarters and the massacre of the secret envoy from the Holy Light faction in the Chaos faction’s headquarters had already happened right under Meng Chao’s nose. They were irreversible facts.

Such a serious outcome would definitely damage Meng Chao’s prestige, and it would cause countless enemies inside and outside the organization to celebrate and become restless. It might even bring unpredictable changes to the future that had been smooth sailing.

More importantly, the Baroque Territory’s secret envoy group’s visit this time was a top-secret operation that Meng Chao had personally paid attention to.

Only his most trusted subordinates knew the specific schedule, route, and details.

The enemy had actually arranged loyal soldiers to sneak into the top-secret diplomatic airships and even installed a lot of high-energy explosives on it in advance without leaking anything.

This meant that the defense system, intelligence network, and even the power structure that Meng Chao had meticulously built had fatal loopholes.

The enemy was hiding right beside him!

When he thought of this, Meng Chao’s gaze became extremely deep. The blood vessels from his temples to his neck, shoulders, chest, and arms bulged like a flood dragon that could not contain its anger. He was filled with murderous intent.
