Chapter 470 Restriction Release
                    It's been 42 hours since humanity got the warning.
According to the Apocalypse Association's plan, the 11 nuclear bombs should have gone off by now.
But the Norden Trench was still untouched!
A sphere, about 50 feet across, was radiating intense heat here!
The surrounding seawater was almost boiling!
Elbert stands in the center, eyes closed, arms outstretched, fists clenched.
The last small piece of nuclear material in his hand doesn't need high temperatures to heat up; the nuclear atoms have already reached the critical point!
Elbert has absorbed over a hundred pieces of nuclear material, equivalent to the radiation of 11 nuclear warheads!
Although the DNA of the new human's second stage remains at 99.9%.
Elbert felt his control over his special abilities was getting stronger and stronger!
Now, Elbert can temporarily hold back the imminent fission with the small piece of liquid metal in his hand!
Elbert relaxed his brow and threw the nuclear material out!
It's like he's throwing a star!
Suddenly, it brightened, and nuclear fission erupted!
The light engulfed everything, and Elbert stood in the midst, facing the explosion head-on!
The terrifying temperature spread!
Elbert's skin continuously chars and regenerates, like a race between death and an angel!
But the explosion's power can no longer affect Elbert!
His body's healing speed surpasses the damage speed!
Suddenly.
Elbert's perspective revealed his DNA model, the 99.9% figure flashing continuously!
He can't help but feel nervous!
Then, he actively walked towards the center of the nuclear fission!
The radiation intensified!
Elbert's mind seemed to open up to something.
It's like an invisible door.
There's no specific information, just vague perceptions!
Elbert felt enlightened!
This last piece of nuclear fuel has brought Elbert to a new level!
The chaotic perceptions in his mind were beyond his grasp!
Only one thing was clear: the change within himself!
His former self was trying to mimic others' DNA, but it was ultimately an imitation, not his own!
It even brought many limitations!
For instance, merging Witch DNA only allowed him to release heat through liquid metal, without possessing heat resistance himself!
But now, Elbert felt completely transparent, everything naturally integrated, as if it were his own!
Elbert merged 20% Witch DNA again!
Even his body's cells seemed to change!
In an instant, his heat resistance increased dramatically!
The nuclear fusion, far hotter than ordinary flames, only caused a slight red burn on Elbert's body!
And it disappeared in a flash!
As for his other abilities, Elbert can't even estimate how much they've enhanced!
This was the effect of the new human's second stage, complete form, with restrictions lifted!
Elbert gazed at the DNA of Chain, Bridge, Witch, and others again.
Suddenly, he realized that no matter how weak their original owners were, the DNA itself is a masterpiece of creation, incredibly intricate and complex, containing endless mysteries!
Even now, he only grasped the abilities within, without understanding the core!
Elbert's own DNA has become pure gold, free of impurities.
A side display showed the progress of the third stage of the gene lock, thought simulation at 0.1%!
Elbert remembered that entering the third stage of the gene lock allows one to actively uncover secrets engraved at the genetic level!
The road ahead was long, with infinite wonders to be revealed as the system evolves!
Robert said, "Your cells are now fully activated, with no theoretical power limit!"
"Elbert, how do you feel about your strength?"
Strength?
Elbert frowned, slightly lowering his head.
He suddenly reached out, grabbing the nuclear material at the end of the chain reaction!
At the same time.
The sphere burst open!
Seawater instantly enveloped everything!
A muffled thunder roared in Elbert's clenched fist!
Although there's little nuclear material left, it's the energy from the nuclear fission process!
This energy was at least equivalent to tons of TNT!
Yet Elbert gripped it tightly, suppressing it completely, without any leakage!
With a muffled sound, Elbert crushed the nuclear material in his hand!
The fission dissipated!
Elbert's right eye flashed purple, "Robert, my strength now... It's hard to describe, barely using a word: unimaginable!"
Robert exclaimed excitedly, "That's because you've entered the third stage, your strength has surged, and you're naked!"
"Your white shirt and my hellish leather armor were all burned up earlier!"
"Now, you're in a state of full power release for the first time in half a year!"
"It's no wonder you didn't explode!"
"But there's bad news."
"Phantom Island seems to be in trouble!"
Meanwhile.
Warships from various countries, even aircraft carriers, have long shut down their network devices and navigated to Phantom Island using physical positioning!
The scene on the sea was unprecedentedly spectacular!
Nearly 150 warships on the water!
Shiny cannons glinting with a cold light under the scorching sun!
On nearly 10 aircraft carriers, various bombers and supersonic fighters are fully fueled and loaded with large-scale, destructive missiles!
On the decks, the top modified humans from various countries were all present!
Underwater, there are dozens of nuclear submarines, with nuclear warheads already in the ballistic position, ready to launch at any moment!
Inside Victoria's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
The massive Osiris mech stood silently!
And Sterling.
This time, he's leading the charge, standing in the command center of the aircraft carrier, directing the entire fleet!
In 5 minutes, he planned to bombard Phantom Island!
At this moment, Sterling grits his teeth and sends out the tweet he's been editing for a long time.
'Don't panic. Dad's here!'
