"Everyone, take shelter in the bunkers. I repeat, this is the final command from the Parliament Hall. Everyone, take shelter in the bunkers and the nearest basement..."

This broadcast echoed over the entire city.

In the sky, a fighter jet appeared.

"The final weapon of mankind - The Emperor Bomb - is about to be deployed," the fighter pilot transmitted.

In the face of such a monster, the last struggle humanity could make to survive was just hoping to perish together with it.

Just like seven years ago, when facing the rampaging zero-number Giant Beast, all humanity could do was flatten it along with Lanhai City using nuclear force.

And now, at this moment, what humanity could think of lastly was still this method of self-destruction.

This ultimate weapon that could instantly cover hundreds of kilometers, with a core temperature reaching billions of degrees, would turn most of the Imperial Capital along with this Super Beast King to ashes.

Moreover, it couldn't be an airburst, which would be wasteful; it had to be detonated after the nuclear warhead made contact with the body of the Super Beast King.

As the fighter reached several thousand meters above the Super Beast King, the pilot hesitated for a second, but in the next moment, a nuclear bomb with a yield of tens of millions of tons was dropped.

Under the acceleration of gravity, the nuclear bomb landed on the body of the Super Beast King and was engulfed, consumed by those countless faces.

"Goodbye, Imperial Capital..."

"Buzz..."

A terrifying light and heat erupted instantly, making it seem as though the whole world had become nothing but light in an instant...

When everyone closed their eyes, however, that brief flash directly disappeared.

"What's going on? The mushroom cloud of the Emperor Bomb should be at least several thousand meters high? Why is it so small this time?" a parliamentarian immediately asked, "Could it be that it didn't fully detonate?"

"No, the Emperor Bomb has been fully detonated; at that moment, the central temperature was measured at 340 million degrees..." The technician reported the data, but now, it thought of an even more terrifying result, utterly drenched in sweat.

"Then why is this happening?"

"The Emperor Bomb's very center did kill the Super Beast King, but only for a split second; the subsequent sustained temperature was completely withstood by the Super Beast King... It might even have absorbed it!" After the technician concluded, the entire control room fell silent.

At the Imperial Palace, the light vanished, and the high-temperature shockwave plowed through the ruins dozens of kilometers around once again. Because it detonated on the body of the Super Beast King, the range of this shockwave was countless times smaller than an airburst; even the mushroom cloud wasn't very high.

But even so, the theoretical billions of degrees of high temperature should be able to incinerate everything.

Yet, as the light faded, the body of the Super Beast King remained active. Its outer layer had indeed turned into a glass-like molten state, with countless faces of giant beasts and humans melted away.

However, the tearing sound came from that glass-like exterior breaking open, and from inside emerged a brand-new Super Beast King!

Thousands of faces peeled off, and the onion-like shell shed away; what nuclear weapons could harm was only the outermost few layers of that "onion" structure, while the true core inside remained intact!

The command center was in utter despair.

They couldn't imagine why the Super Beast King had an onion armor structure; theoretically, this is the most suitable structure to withstand nuclear bombs. But this was just theory. In reality, the onion armor in practical tests could resist a nuclear blast to some extent, but only to make the core less cooked than the outer parts.

However, this armor, theoretically capable of resisting nuclear explosions, was perfectly validated on the Super Beast King.

One layer of faces, two layers of faces... After shedding a total of seven layers of countless faces forming its skin, the core of the Super Beast King exposed inside had perfectly withstood billions of degrees from the close nuclear explosion.

This also proved that the theory of onion armor was valid.

But now, no technician was happy. Seeing the newborn skin of the Super Beast King resembling that of a baby, they fell into utter despair.

Why did this nuclear-resistant technology appear on this artificially created beast, as if it was born to know it would face such attacks, specifically making preparations ahead of time? Even, seeing the dense faces still on it, it was clear that even if they could hold on for a while to transport the second nuclear bomb, the result would still be the same.

Through the remote video, the control center saw the upper body of the girl atop the Super Beast King's head. She was smiling, smiling directly at the camera, seemingly mocking everything they did. She seemed to have been preparing for this moment for a long time.

What other weapon? Thermobaric bombs? Cloud burst bombs?

No, they were all useless. High-heat shock weapons were ineffective against it, and armor-piercing weapons couldn't do much damage either.

Humanity is finished...

"How long until the nearest Emperor Bomb can be delivered?" the Parliamentary Head closed his eyes; he seemed to still want to struggle a bit, to make one last struggle for survival.

"21 minutes..."

There's no saving us...

He sighed inwardly.

Once it consumes everyone in the Imperial Capital, then, the number of faces on that monster will grow, and the subsequent nuclear bombs might have even less effect than this time.

The entire command room was terrifyingly quiet; some people had already begun to weep softly, or pulled out guns, struggling to press the muzzle under their chins.

"Where is the Monarch? The Monarch who possesses the power of the Number Zero Super Beast..." Someone asked weakly.

"Before the nuclear explosion, the emergency team notified us that the Monarch's heart had stopped and brain waves had disappeared. Death has been confirmed." The liaison officer directly shattered that last hope.

"No, that is..." The people in the command post suddenly saw a figure on the ground running towards the Super Beast King. The image was magnified instantly, and they saw the Monarch who had been confirmed dead.

...

High above, Xue Dili faced the World Consciousness.

"The Giant Beast is not your native species but was intentionally modified by another civilization thousands of years ago, specifically as a weapon against this planet's civilization!" Xue Dili stated his conclusion.

"Impossible. My species does not need an outsider like you to define it." The World Consciousness did not accept this statement, instead arrogantly imparting this message.

"Then, if all the raw materials for a Giant Beast originate from your planet, except for the technology, can you still distinguish it?" Xue Dili showed a gambler's smile.

It's not just the Super Beast that has the shadow of that mastermind behind it. Thousands of years ago, before the old thing came, those suddenly swelling Giant Beasts bore the handiwork of those behind the scenes.

However, that disaster was stopped by the Great Sage.

The World Consciousness was momentarily stunned. It might have realized this possibility as well and was actually puzzled why so many creatures grew so large during that time, but found no clues.

If all raw materials, except for the technology, are native products, how could it be distinguished?

"So, what do you want?"

"Temporary authority over this world. I will end the disaster and simultaneously modify 'history,' so that in the outward manifestation of the world's history, humanity and the Super Beast King will perish together!" Xue Dili revealed his plan,

"Under this false history, they are bound to make a move, and then is when we truly retaliate. As long as I can get the coordinates of their home planet, we win."

"This is a gamble." The World Consciousness merely stated, as if recognizing Xue Dili's point of view.

"Yes, so I'm betting my life, two days' time, victory, or completely merging with you." Xue Dili laughed.

...

The authority of the world, though only for two days.

But after using it, he would completely transform into this world's "God," and the massive information and consciousness might rush into his mind instantly, washing away any trace of humanity belonging to "Xue Dili."

Or perhaps it will completely link with the world, and a human personality that cannot resist the Giant Beast's beastly nature cannot possibly withstand the divinity provided by the World Consciousness?

If a personality is a grain of salt, then the world's authority is like the ocean. When that grain of salt is cast into it, it will completely dissolve into the sea, leaving no trace.

"Mom, if I really can't return, remember to fish me out..."

Xue Dili looked at the Mobius Ring in his hand and suddenly laughed heartily.

And, oh, old thing, I don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong, but this is the limit that this stupid student of yours can think of.

If only you could still give me advice...

He looked towards the Consciousness Space, at the enraged Number Zero Super Beast within him.

After using the world's authority, the human Xue Dili will die, leaving only the divine Xue Dili alive. He does not know what kind of thoughts the divine version of himself will have but can only make the final arrangements while he is still human.

"Lieutenant Robert, let's go together." Xue Dili gripped the Mobius Ring in his hand and pulled it out fiercely.

In the Consciousness Space, the Number Zero Super Beast howled at the sky; this was its last rage and domineering will.

"Ahhh!!!"

Under that gray sky, the earth cracked open instantly, and a terrifying Super Beast rose from beneath, biting into Xue Dili. Light ascended like a backward-flying meteor, and the monster crawled out from the earth, wantonly unleashing its endless rage and violent power.

The Super Beast stood upright on the earth.

"What!" The command room saw the reappearance of the Number Zero Super Beast, with all its previous wounds completely healed. At this moment, this creature seemed to have grown stronger, now reaching nearly 100 meters in height, not much different from the Super Beast King.

Moreover, its scales were as dazzling as gold.

"Monarch Xediles... First of His Name..." the Chairman of the Parliament muttered the name silently.

In the distance, the Super Beast King that emerged from the onion's outer skin looked at Number Zero. The girl with half her body on its head quietly stared at the Zero Giant Beast, as if seeing an acquaintance, or perhaps with a child's cruelty.

"Roar!" Number Zero roared, and the war between monsters erupted once more.
