"Did you hear?" one of the guards said. "Kong Chang and the Voodoo Empress are holding a ball-cutting ceremony on the rooftop of headquarters today. All the top brass from the Iron Horse Empire are gathered there. It's a grand ceremony, they even used a nuclear weapon. My god, what does that even mean? This nuke cost an astronomical five hundred billion and took over three years to make. If I weren't on guard duty, I would have loved to witness it!"
Unaware of his impending doom, Ming Zhi Tian didn't linger. He slipped in directly.
The guard rubbed his eyes. "Did you feel something fly past?"
The other guard scratched his head. "No, probably just the wind. All the high-ranking officials of the Iron Horse Empire are inside. Who would dare cause trouble? You're too sensitive."
Ming Zhi Tian arrived at a corner of the vast rooftop. The scene was already crowded with over ten thousand people, all gathered to witness this glorious moment, though they themselves were clueless.
A massive nuclear weapon was displayed on a launchpad for admiration. A portion of the families from the Eight Houses of the East Wall, Nine Houses of the West Wall, Five Families of the Southern Mausoleum, and Twelve Clans of the Northern Mausoleum were all present.
It was said that it was no easy feat for them to travel from the Northern Desert to witness this miraculous occasion. They had arrived on the newly developed Changlongmu rockets, created by An Bo Zi.
Ming Zhi Tian smiled faintly. "It seems old man An Bo Zi really succeeded. He's going to be rolling in wealth from now on."
Everyone waited for the two main protagonists to make their entrance.
Just then, the ceremonial music began, and Kong Chang Kong Tianxing and the Voodoo Empress Tian Ran Lin appeared.
Ming Zhi Tian spotted two familiar figures from the Northern Desert and murmured, "Elder Yi Shan and Elder Feng Dian?! How are they with Tian Ran Lin?"
He watched as Kong Tianxing held Tian Ran Lin's hand, the two of them so sweet as they walked down the central red carpet.
Elder Yi Shan and Elder Feng Dian bowed respectfully. "Reporting to the Voodoo Empress! All preparations are complete. Shall we commence the ceremony immediately?"
Tian Ran Lin nodded. "Begin."
Under the gaze of the multitude, Elder Yi Shan and Elder Feng Dian, working in unison, approached the nuclear weapon. Then, with a simultaneous exertion of their power!
They intended to cut the elliptical sphere directly at a latitude corresponding to the equator's south pole, and a longitude corresponding to the north pole, at an angle of one hundred and eighty degrees on the celestial sphere's radius.
Ming Zhi Tian mused, "Strange. Both Elder Yi Shan and Elder Feng Dian are from the Northern Desert, millions of kilometers away. When did Tian Ran Lin subdue them?"
Everything was ready, waiting only for Kong Tianxing's command. He released Tian Ran Lin's hand and walked onto the podium, with Tian Ran Mei and Kuang Lang guards standing below the steps.
Kong Tianxing began his speech: "Distinguished guests, welcome to the Iron Horse Empire! As your commander, I, on behalf of the Angel Legion, welcome you. Everyone here today is from diverse backgrounds and prominent families. We have the Five Families of the Southern Mausoleum and the Twelve Clans of the Northern Mausoleum from the Northern Desert, the Eight Houses of the East Wall and the Nine Houses of the West Wall from the Eastern Continent. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Once again, I welcome you to witness this historic moment for the nuclear weapon! This has been my lifelong dream, Kong Tianxing! Now, without further ado, I declare that the nuclear weapon is now activated!"
Kong Tianxing flashed and appeared beside the nuclear weapon. Activated by Elder Yi Shan and Elder Feng Dian, the weapon was already charged and ready.
He recalled that the last time Tian Ran Mei and Kuang Lang brought the nuclear weapon, it took over twenty top elites to simultaneously activate it and unleash its attack on Ming Zhi Tian.
This time, after three years of continuous research and improvement, the nuclear weapon's performance had been enhanced tenfold!
Kong Tianxing could no longer suppress his excitement. He couldn't wait to press the activation switch!
Suddenly! Ming Zhi Tian made his move! With a punch, he shattered the frame of the nuclear weapon's switch, then ripped the entire switch off and threw it away, making it disappear.
