Chapter 468 Disassembling Nuclear Weapons
Robert noticed Elbert's heart rate spike, his blood flow increase, and his body temperature rise.
"Is this what they call 'blood boiling'?" he wondered.
Elbert broke the silence. "The Apocalypse Association is my sworn enemy. With this nuclear crisis, I can absorb radiation. There's no escaping this fate."
A moment of silence followed.
"Elbert, I've learned so much from you," Robert said.
"About human emotions."
Tears welled up in Robert's eyes. "And your current mindset, is this what they call 'reckless' online?"
Elbert rubbed his forehead. "It's called courage, or maybe... acceptance."
Elbert's focus shifted to various operational methods and the subconscious integration of intricate machines. He transformed liquid metal into tools, carefully dismantling a neutron bomb. One warhead could be broken down into ten smaller nuclear charges.
"Elbert, there's something I don't get," Robert said. "The Apocalypse Association sent a signal to the world, saying they'd wipe out human civilization in four days. But why do these bombs have a countdown of only two days?"
Elbert continued dismantling the device. "They announced four days to create panic. Humans are fragile; often, panic destroys them before the disaster even strikes."
"As for the two-day countdown, it's like the disaster arriving early, adding another layer of emotion on top of panic—despair."
"Even if some survive, the shadow will linger for a long time, leaving them devastated."
Elbert paused slightly. "The Apocalypse Association is skilled at manipulating human nature, adept at breaking enemies psychologically."
Robert nodded, stunned. "Panic and despair, two more emotions I need to process."
Twenty minutes later, Elbert finished dismantling the nuclear warhead, revealing ten palm-sized black boxes, glowing faintly red. He picked up one and headed to the ocean, ten miles away.
"Robert, simulate 99.9% Chain Bridge DNA."
In the next moment, Elbert's control over the liquid metal reached its peak. The water droplet pendant on his chest released a large amount of liquid metal. Centered around Elbert, the seawater compressed, suddenly blooming into a massive sphere with a diameter of fifty feet.
Elbert summoned a small portion of liquid metal to protect his entire body.
Robert said, "The spherical shield has a 70% chance of withstanding the explosion, but inside the sphere, it'll be like a pressure cooker. Your armor's resistance probability is less than 30%."
Elbert remained calm. "Robert, things obtained easily have no value."
Then, Elbert's eyes narrowed. His armor disappeared, integrating 20% Witch DNA. A strand of liquid metal wrapped around the nuclear charge, releasing intense heat, quickly heating it to the fusion critical point. Immediately, Elbert threw the nuclear charge, and his armor rapidly reformed.
In the next moment, the small nuclear charge lit up with a blazing light. From a single point of light, it suddenly covered the entire space, turning the inside of the sphere into a blinding white. Terrifying sound waves echoed. The air was instantly burned away.
In the vacuum environment, the burning power was significantly reduced. However, the force generated by the explosion was equivalent to ten Victoria Mk-84 'Hammer' bombs, directly hitting Elbert in such a confined space. The entire sphere shook violently, turning red from the intense heat. The surrounding seawater boiled, producing countless bubbles, rising.
Inside the vacuum sphere, there was no air to breathe. The temperature soared, and the pressure far exceeded the outside by thousands of times. It was like a super high-pressure cooker. With the air gone, even the explosion's sound waves couldn't be transmitted, leaving everything silent. Only the terrifying energy reverberated. The immense force instantly pushed Elbert to the side of the sphere, his body tightly pressed against it.
For a moment, internal and external threats converged.
The sphere could break at any moment!
Elbert's liquid metal armor was facing an unprecedented challenge. The sphere was filled with violent nuclear radiation, and Elbert focused all his energy on stabilizing the liquid metal. His body absorbed the radiation within the sphere like crazy.
In just three minutes, cracks appeared in Elbert's liquid metal armor. At this point, Elbert was only at the second stage of the gene lock, and the liquid metal he controlled lacked the invincible toughness it had when colliding with meteors.
Elbert gritted his teeth.
Robert said, "The nuclear material here has completely fissioned. The radiation is extremely concentrated. Elbert, you just need to hold on for six more minutes to absorb it all!"
Suddenly, a piece of liquid metal armor shattered! The high pressure and high temperature inside the sphere instantly broke through Elbert's body defenses. His clothes were burned away, his skin didn't even have time to get injured, instantly turning black and cracked.
Elbert mobilized the liquid metal to protect his right eye, unsure if Robert could withstand such power. The armor continued to break, and Elbert's skin gradually became exposed. Even a small patch of skin on his forehead was revealed.
"I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die!" Robert spun in circles. "Four minutes left!"
"Wait!" Robert clapped his hands. "There's a solution!"
Thousands of miles away, in the Lab Graveyard, a speaker suddenly blared, "Dennis, go to the shelf and find a test tube labeled 'Black and White Joker.'"
Huh? Dennis, who was busy modifying the SS454, suddenly froze. "Violent Bear? Where are you?"
Elbert's voice was strained. "Hurry..."
Dennis, familiar with the lab, went to the shelf and looked at the test tube labeled 'Black and White Joker,' but couldn't reach it. Meanwhile, Elbert's armor had already shattered halfway, his body charred black.
Dennis grabbed a stool, slowly retrieving the test tube. "Violent Bear, when are you coming back?"
"Quickly put the test tube into the DNA analyzer. If you dawdle, I won't make it back!"
The voice was Elbert's meditation, simulated by Robert, because Elbert's face was burned through, and he couldn't speak.
Dennis hesitated. "Always exaggerating!" He rolled his eyes and sprinted to the DNA analyzer. The machine had a large metal door, which he used all his strength to open. It was this door that prevented drones from operating.
In the next moment, the DNA analyzer started, rapidly analyzing and transmitting at an overclocked speed.
Dennis frowned. "Violent Bear, I suspect you're having fun somewhere."
Elbert replied, "You're right, I'm absorbing a nuclear bomb!"
Dennis scoffed. "Do you think I'm an idiot?"
Elbert didn't respond. At this critical moment, the black and white Joker DNA was gradually taking shape in his mind. This blood sample was obtained from his first kill of the black and white joker, nearly forgotten.
In the next moment, Elbert left only the liquid metal protecting Robert, abandoning defense elsewhere. Simulating 20% black and white joker DNA. With the amplification of the new human physique, the black and white Joker's abilities were magnified. Elbert's wounds began to heal.
But the healing speed was still slower than the damage rate. The wounds healed while being burned again. Elbert continuously reduced Chain Bridge DNA, increasing black and white joker DNA. If the sphere showed signs of cracking, he would quickly stop, constantly trying to find the final balance.
Time ticked by. Elbert barely managed to increase the black and white Joker DNA to 30%. His skin kept getting damaged and regenerating. Finally, the radiation inside the sphere gradually weakened, slowly disappearing.
Boom! Elbert opened a gap in the sphere, releasing the immense pressure. But this was 6,000 feet deep in the ocean. Such an explosion didn't even create a ripple on the surface. No one knew that a madman was here, fighting for his life, doing everything he could to avert a global crisis.
