I really can't control myself

"Stand back." It was Asuna who spoke at this time, and the people who warned her were naturally Yuno and the others.

Although Linton had already said it once, Yuno and Fan Lei obviously still wanted to step forward. Especially on Yuno's side, probably because he had never seen Linton take action, Yuno still seemed to want to fight. Fan Lei's more important intention here is probably to help Linton plunder the formation.

Obviously they didn't quite understand what Linton wanted to do, but Asuna already understood it completely. After finishing speaking, Asuna here also took a step forward. The yellow gem on her forehead flashed, and a yellow translucent defensive shield appeared around several people, just covering them.

"Huh?" Linton was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Asuna here could actually open the protective shield. When did she learn this trick? It seems that this has not been mentioned before.

Of course, it’s not like I’ve never seen this protective shield before. In fact, when he saw Asuna using it, Linton also remembered that he saw Vision using this trick before. It was indeed Vision’s skill, but Asuna seemed to have used it before. It's just that she can shoot lasers. When did she learn the protective shield?

After thinking about it, I don’t need to worry so much, which will save me a lot of trouble. Since Asuna is using it here, she should be able to block it with confidence. Linton definitely didn't want to blow up one of his own people, and he was originally planning to block it. His side was quite consistent with the AT position, and he used it very smoothly. It's definitely not a big problem to use the AT position to resist the nuclear explosion. The apostles have all performed it, but now that Asuna has taken the initiative to help, it should be enough to just go up by herself.

Just as he was thinking about it, a sword wind struck in front of him, which was of course Malenia's attack. Linton's first subconscious reaction was to pick up the thing in his hand and throw it back, but just as he was about to do it, he suddenly remembered what he had just said. This nuclear missile will not detonate if it is chopped. The detonation system will be triggered only when the induction device on the head is subjected to a certain degree of force. In other words, this missile can be destroyed.

Thinking of this, Linton leaned back and dodged Marlenia's knife from the opposite side.

Obviously, it was impossible for Marlenia to know what Linton was holding. If she knew, she probably wouldn't be so bold and come forward. In her opinion, Linton was just holding a strange-looking weapon.

Because of this, Marlenia didn't have any sense of crisis, so she hit the target with one strike. The blade drew a perfect arc in the air, then changed the angle and slashed towards Linton again.

Linton was just about to swing the bomb to detonate it, but he didn't expect Malenia's attack to be quite fast. He dodged once and immediately followed up with the second attack. The continuous attacks were like running water. Linton was not worried about himself. It didn't matter if he was cut down, but if the missile was cut down and couldn't detonate, it would be a bit embarrassing.

However, Linton dodged once and did not want to dodge a second time. Looking at the sword swung by Marlenia, Linton took a step forward and rushed towards Marlenia. He looked with his left hand. He swung the blade in the direction it was coming from.

With a "clang", the knife hit Linton's left hand, but there was a sound like a metal collision. Marlenia felt a huge force coming from the blade, and the blade almost collapsed. Going out, in order to relieve the pressure, Marlenia took a step back, and her right hand was hit back.

"Look at my precise empty-handed bounce!" Linton said, holding the branch in his hand with both hands, turning his body like a sledgehammer, waving the nuclear bomb in his hand, aiming directly at Marlenia in front of him. He hit it hard and said, "Look at this move again!"

Marlenia's reaction was also very fast. When she saw Linton swinging his weapon towards her, she immediately adjusted her movements. However, she still didn't know what it was. After adjusting her movements, her first reaction was to slash directly at the thing coming at her. It seemed that she was preparing to split the missile in two with one knife.

The blade of the blade was twisted, and Marlenia hit the center of the missile head with a precise strike. The next second, a white light suddenly flashed from the missile held in Linton's hand.

"Hurry up." Asuna suddenly said to the three people behind her in a confused manner, but the three people obviously didn't understand the meaning. pay close attention? What are you holding on to?

However, the next moment, a violent white flash appeared from the front. They were obviously not the only ones to see this white light. Almost everyone in the northern part of the Huasheng Snowfield suddenly saw a violent flash of light from the north suddenly appear on the horizon. It even lit up the sky for a moment, and then followed closely by a beam of light rising into the sky. of red light.

The loud "boom" sound came after a few seconds, and a few seconds later, a huge shock wave followed. The impact directly scraped off a layer of snow on the ground, causing many fundamental problems. The unprepared creature was immediately thrown away.

Of course, those who were thrown away were lucky, because no matter how close they were, within the explosion range, there was no way they could survive. The area near the center was almost instantly sublimated into gas by the high temperature of the explosion. Even some of the dead people living in the Holy Tree could not survive to this extent. Although they were theoretically immortal because they could not die, they were blown to ashes by the explosion. None of them were left behind. Who knows how they were resurrected or how they survived.

And when those lucky people who were thrown away realized what was going on, and when they looked up in the direction of the explosion again, what they saw was an ominous mushroom cloud rising.

No one knows what happened to the holy tree at this time, but what replaced the holy tree was a slowly rising mushroom cloud. Obviously the people in the border area have never seen anything like this, but subconsciously, many people suddenly started to kneel down in the direction of the mushroom cloud. For things that they cannot understand, people here are used to paying it to gods, so... this should It's a miracle or divine punishment.

Compared to the chaos around it, the interior of the sacred tree at the center of the explosion was particularly peaceful. At this time, all the sounds have disappeared, and the surroundings can be said to be dead silent, and it is quite clean.

When Linton stood up, he saw nothing but the burning red ground. Several people were clearly still in the tree hole before, but now they are surrounded by flat land. Tree roots, buildings and other things have completely disappeared, and there is an open space within the field of vision.

Linton looked around, then walked towards a small raised spot not far away. From the front, this looks like a small raised bump, but when turned to the back, Linton can see the defensive cover on the inside, and inside the defensive cover are Asuna and others.

The material on the ground was instantly melted into liquid by the temperature and impact of the explosion and then lifted up, covering the defensive cover. It was like pouring a shell on the defensive cover. Now, after the temperature slowly begins to drop, hardening is formed. Currently looks like a bulge.

Linton looked at Asuna who was still maintaining a defensive shield inside. There were three people lying at her feet. Yuno and others seemed to have lost consciousness. They didn't know how they fainted, but judging from their condition, they seemed to have lost consciousness. and was not injured.

"When did you learn the defensive shield?" Linton asked, "This is pretty good, it can actually withstand nuclear bombs."

"I researched it while collecting information before," Asuna said.

"Can this be studied?" Linton asked.

"No...it's a bit indescribable, as if she suddenly mastered it." Asuna frowned and said, what she said was a bit unclear, but this was not because she deliberately concealed it, but because she couldn't explain the feeling clearly.

"Hmm... So you see, you still have to come out and try it out to know what the upgrade is, right?" Linton said.

"Well..." Just as he was talking, Yuno, who was lying at Asuna's feet, suddenly reacted. He wasn't injured in the first place. He didn't know why he fainted, but he woke up quickly.

Raising his head, the other person fell to the ground and was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't understand the current situation, and then immediately looked to the side again: "Diaros!"

The first reaction was indeed to look for his younger brother. He was indeed a younger brother. Of course, Diaros was also nearby. Yuno patted him slightly. Diaros himself was not injured and was also called by Yuno. At the same time, his voice also woke up Fan Lei next to him.

"Um...what's going on?" Diaros didn't even understand the situation. His memory only lasted until he saw the white light, and he had no memory of what happened next.

However, Yuno and Fan Lei who were standing next to them obviously saw more. After the initial confusion, they obviously remembered something and immediately stood up and looked around. Of course, what they saw was a hellish scene.

The ground that is still blood-red has been melted by the high temperature, the unidentifiable black objects that are as black as coke have begun to condense, and the gray snow-like ash is slowly falling from the sky. In short, this scene is nothing like it. It can be seen in the human world.

More importantly... where is the holy tree? They were still moving around the holy tree just now, but now they can't see that thing around.

"How about it, are the spells of our physics mages..." Linton saw the shocked looks of the three of them. He was just about to continue to brag, but before he could finish his words, a Lian Lin suddenly flew beside him. Something that surprised everyone.

It was a butterfly with red wings, just passing by Linton. Obviously Linton didn't expect to see this thing here. Not to mention radiation and so on, the temperature of the air around him is estimated to be several hundred degrees now. Can this butterfly still fly here?

However, looking in the direction in which the butterfly flew, Linton saw something that surprised him even more. This is a red flower bud floating in the air. Linton doesn't know when it appeared here. He didn't see it at all just now, and the flower bud is surrounded by a group of butterflies, like stars holding the moon. There are more and more flying around, no one knows where they come from.

"What is this?" Linton was indeed a little stunned.
