Chapter 315: Chapter 229: Assault and Explosion

The black mist spewed out like a fountain of blood from its body, enveloping the surrounding battlefield, with whispers of corrosion and mental disturbance filling the air.

Even from a distance, many knights felt dizzy, nauseous, and experienced auditory hallucinations and tinnitus.

“Ah… something is speaking in my ear… it’s watching me…”

A few knights from the Cold Iron Legion beside him struggled to resist the mental erosion, sweat beading on their foreheads, their faces pale.

They were among the strongest elite of the Northern Knights, yet still felt an indescribable oppression.

But at that moment, they noticed something even more shocking.

Louis remained calm and composed.

The young Viscount stood by the hillside, seemingly ignoring the presence of the mental oppression, calmly surveying the terrain, calculating the wind speed, and even quietly assigning technical parameters.

Though the knights guarding him dared not question military orders, they were faintly discontented.

They also wanted to charge into battle, but were tasked with escorting a “non-combatant” young noble.

Now they were to accompany him in installing a “Magic Bomb Launcher”?

In facing that nearly god-like Nest, would this work?

“I’d rather charge forward with my spear,” a knight muttered under his breath.

At this moment, Louis was silently using the Primordial Meditation Technique, calming his mind like water, actively blocking out the mental contamination released by the Nest.

He had noticed back in the Red Tide Territory that the Primordial Meditation Technique had remarkable effects against mental attacks.

He did not explain, just started to direct.

“Set up the triangular base.”

“Adjust the angle.”

The Red Tide Demolition Squad he led quickly moved into action, setting up a modular Cold Iron Alloy Launcher on the hillside.

The tripod dug into the rock, stable and efficient.

Next, Louis personally opened the heavy military safe.

A shell sealed with the aura of doomsday was lifted out.

The Ultimate Magic Explosion Bullet.

It was larger and heavier than a large Magic Explosion Bullet.

The interior of its short, thick metallic casing contained active orange-red liquid, which was “Fire Scale Ointment.”

Its magic energy concentration was dazzlingly high, with faint vein-like fiery patterns visible on its surface, like the heartbeat of some creature.

Meanwhile, on the observation high tower on the main wall of Frost Halberd City, several civil servants watched this scene through binoculars.

The military civil servant, who always held a critical attitude, sneered, contemptuously speaking to the surrounding nobility: “So this is the so-called miraculous Demon Burst Plan?”

“To think this could blow up the Nest? Ridiculous.”

On the hillside, Louis didn’t respond to any doubts.

He simply raised his right hand slowly.

“Loading complete.”

“Target locked.”

Under his command, the voice was low and firm: “Launch.”

Boom——!

Flames spewed, magic energy roared, and the massive Ultimate Magic Explosion Bullet shot forth with a fiery tail, transforming into a crimson meteor aimed directly at the Nest’s deceitful “Holy Mother’s face.”

In an instant, the Nest seemed to sense something, instinctively making the strongest defensive response as if facing a natural enemy.

Countless insect corpses crawled from around the Nest, frantically layering together to form multi-layered insect corpse shield walls, large walls of flesh rising from the ground, writhing to block the front.

Spore sap secreted out, weaving translucent protective layers in the air, attempting to wrap this destruction like biological fabric.

But at the next moment——

“Boom——————!!!!!!”

The blast core hit.

The Ultimate Magic Explosion Bullet pierced into the Nest’s body without slowing down, instantly detonating.

The colors of the entire world seemed drained, leaving only blazing white.

At that moment, even the sky was ignited by the flames.

The soldiers on the hillside instinctively closed their eyes, still feeling the burning flash penetrating their eyelids.

That was not light.

That was the birth of a new sun.

The high-energy blast point turned into a wave of fire swallowing everything, vaporizing the insect corpse shield wall in an instant, leaving no time for any reaction.

The massive flesh walls and spore sap protective layers were torn apart, penetrated like paper, unable to even leave charred marks, leaving only ashes swept up by the heat wave.

The ground began to churn.

The rock layers within a radius of several hundred meters melted directly into scorching magma, the air was sucked away by the explosion, and the deafening roar echoed like doomsday thunder after a slight delay.

At the center of the Nest, a massive, charred, squirming hole had been blasted open.

The external defense structure was utterly destroyed, and the embedded breeding structure began to collapse.

Even more fatal was the continuous burning of the Scale Fire Ointment: under high temperatures, it transformed into a Purgatory Fire Snake, penetrating deep into the Nest, scorching the originally regenerative tissue, rendering it irreparable, persistently necrotic, spreading the blaze.

Countless sub-nest cavities, larva breeding zones, and egg parasitoid chambers ignited in succession in the heat.

Chain explosions resounded continuously, thick smoke rose into the sky, insect eggs and spore slurry burst in the air, transforming into a bloody mist that spread across the entire battlefield.

“Ugh ahhhhhhhhhh——!!!”

In the high sky, the Doomsday Nest let out a wail piercing heaven and earth.

Its composure like a Holy Mother’s face, formed from the amalgamation of thousands of human faces, a false god’s visage, finally cracked within the firelight.

Fragments of insects fell like bloody rain; the “mother’s” face screamed in agony as it peeled away in the high heat, revealing the grotesque reality of the flesh beneath.

And at this moment, the Desperate Witch commanding from within the Doomsday Nest was stunned.

He stared blankly at the outer layer of the Nest, blown open and aflame, unable to speak for an extended time.

“…This is impossible.”

He whispered, the smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared for a moment, his expression blank.

That human meteor punched through the future he had envisioned thousands of times.

“Damn it…!”

He suddenly snapped back, extending his arm in a mix of shock and fury, towards the pool of blood and flesh behind him.

“Summon the strongest — the perfect fusion!!” he shrieked, “Hold the core for thirteen minutes!! Just thirteen minutes! I can repair it!!”

The blood pool roared, countless remnants and corpses writhed under the command.

A brand-new hell was about to be born.

……

The flame had not yet dissipated, the ground still trembled.

Yet the impact caused by that Ultimate Magic Explosion Bullet was already clearly engraved in everyone’s hearts.

On the high walls of Frost Halberd City, the civil servant who had just been sneering stood with his mouth slightly agape, face turning pale.

He could hardly believe his eyes: “This… this… really blasted through…”

The bureaucrat beside him was also dumbfounded, mumbling: “The face of the Nest… shattered…”

And more of those who had scoffed at Louis’s so-called “Demon Burst Plan” were left with only one thought in their minds:

He really did it.

All doubts, derision, disdain, vanished in the blazing white light.

Louis’s name was etched into everyone’s minds.

At the same time, Duke Edmund, leading troops in the frontal assault, also witnessed the earth-shattering strike at the center of the Nest.

“!?” He halted abruptly, eyes narrowing as he looked at the Doomsday Nest, now with a gigantic hole, a glint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Of course, he knew Louis wasn’t one to boast emptily, but he hadn’t expected—

He actually managed to punch through the Nest.

“Heh… Seems I underestimated you.” Edmund murmured softly, immediately his gaze sharpened, “Advance, full army!”

Vice Commander Gaius, closer to the front, saw it the clearest, witnessing that explosive bullet pierce through the sea of insects like a divine meteor, tearing through the core.

He laughed wildly on the spot: “Ha! That kid really pulled it off! Now that’s what I call demolition!! Follow me, charge!! Head straight for the core!!”

His laughter roared like thunder, leading the entire Core-breaking Squad’s momentum to its peak!

Following closely was Arthur, his battle armor stained with blood, glanced briefly at the fiery wound, said coldly: “…Good, we need not forge a path anymore, go straight for the heart.”

Edmund, Arthur, and Gaius, the Empire’s top combatants, converged on the frontline at this moment, leading the Core-breaking Squad in the final onslaught!

Behind them were nearly a hundred High-tier Extraordinary Knights, fighting energy like thunder, their fighting spirit soaring to the sky.

This assassination unit, code-named “Core-breaking,” had been waiting for a long time.

Now, the time had come!

“Charge! — For His Majesty!”

“For the Empire!!”

“For all those who have died!!!”

The Core-breaking Squad roared in unison.

Their figures pierced through the still burning mountain of corpses and bloody sea, charging through the scorching crack into the inner abyss of the Doomsday Nest!

This was the final assault.

It was humanity’s dagger, stabbing into the heart of the Evil God.
