-----------
It was hard to accept what was happening before him, even if Leif was his enemy. He had just died like that...
Austyn clenched his hands, his fingers shaking slightly. Leif, the giant Leif, considered the strongest man in the Navy and even in the world, had died just like that. Even the remains of the body couldn't be seen. What the hell just happened?
[ ===== ]
On the side of the Astra Militarum:
Jonathan and Susanna probably guessed the truth of the matter. The two of them looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes. No one could have imagined that the oval-shaped object was so dreadful. It possessed the power of annihilation. If they hadn't just seen it with their own eyes, it would have been hard to believe.
Not only had it blown the island into ruin, but even the giant Leif was annihilated. In front of the terrifying power of destruction, even the world's best defense was unable to hold up and was instantly dissolved.
Only a few seniors in the Astra Militarum and Sebastian knew about the bomb. It wasn't just the shockwave; rather, the extreme temperature at the center when the explosion began was the issue. After the explosion, within a very short time, it generated high temperatures that exceeded even the most central part of the sun, enough to vaporize any object on Earth in previous lives.
Under such alarmingly high temperatures, even if Leif's giant physique was several times stronger, it would still be useless. He would still be instantly vaporized, and not even a piece of ash would remain.
This was also why they utilized Jonathan's ability, so the devastating heat would be concentrated at the center of the explosion. If it were dropped normally, the explosion would be too far from the center, and the result would be uncertain.
[ ===== ]
"Against supernaturals, especially powerful supernatural individuals, the instantaneous heat of the nuclear bomb is a deadly method," Sebastian couldn't help but think.
Then, immediately, he shook his head in exclamation. The Eternal Level mission was too difficult. If it hadn't been for Jonathan's ability, relying on the nuclear bomb drop alone might not have defeated the overly powerful Leif.
"Leif's strength should be the peak of Level 2, but his defense at Level 3 is not an exaggeration," Sebastian sighed.
[ ===== ]
"It's over. Operation 'Centerboard I' was a complete success!" Fleming turned toward Elizabeth and the others through the messenger snail to report the results of this operation.
A moment later, a collective sigh of relief resounded from the group, followed by cheers. Operation 'Centerboard I' was the codename for this plan.
"Retreat immediately and return quickly," Elizabeth ordered.
"Yes." Fleming did not hesitate; nor did he bother to admire the "masterpiece" he had created.
After confirming that Leif had been vaporized under the heat of the nuclear bomb, he immediately ordered the Astra Militarum to turn around and return quickly. They knew very well that there were more powerful supernatural individuals than Leif present. Not to mention any stronger ones, even encountering one or two other Vice Admirals would be enough for them to reconsider.
At this moment, they didn't have any nuclear bombs left. Originally, three were intended to be made, but later, to improve the probability of successfully completing this task, a single bomb was made with a large equivalent.
After the enormous mushroom cloud arose, not only Austyn, but also the other naval forces nearby, were noticed. Everyone's eyes widened as they observed the situation in disbelief. Immediately afterward, a team was dispatched to Leif Island to check the situation.
On the way, they passed the fleet of the Astra Militarum that was quickly escaping. But at this time, no one had the time to pay attention to the Astra Militarum; they went straight toward Leif Island.
When they saw the doomsday scene, knowing that Leif had been annihilated in the explosion, everyone was stunned. A sense of fear rose from the depths of their minds. Even the world's strongest body, Leif, had turned out like this; so when they encountered such fearsome power, surely they would not feel well either.
In a moment, everyone was terrified. They were rapidly traversing various channels, looking for the origin of the explosion that had just occurred. They were trying to find out what kind of weapon could create such terrifying power.
[ ===== ]
While they were waiting and searching for traces, the Astra Militarum had already traveled across much of the sea, led by Susanna. They returned to the island unhindered.
Elizabeth, Rommel, and others were already standing by the entrance of the bay, waiting for the triumphant return of the combatants. There was nothing to celebrate, as they did not dare to be careless. Who knew what might alarm the world's most powerful individuals? They hurried to pack up their weapons and supplies before returning to Terra.
"Both of you, thank you for your help in this operation," Fleming said to Jonathan and Susanna before they left.
"It should be us thanking you guys," Susanna replied with a smile. "If it weren't for you, I don't know when we would have been able to kill Leif."
"Will you guys come over again in the future?" Jonathan asked Fleming.
There was some reluctance in his eyes. After their cooperation, Jonathan had developed a little comrade-in-arms relationship with the Astra Militarum.
Hearing these words, Fleming was slightly startled. Then he smiled and said, "We will have the opportunity to meet again."
"See you again!"
"Bye-bye!"
Jonathan and Susanna waved their hands as they watched the Astra Militarum disappear into the planet's passage.
When the last Astra Militarum entered, the translucent planet passage closed. This time, the Eternal Level mission was over. Less than two days had passed since the beginning, so the three-day mission completion time limit set by the Awakening Space was met.
With the closing of the planet passage, inside the awakening space, a brand new line of text appeared: [Eternal Level Mission Progress: Completed.]
Seeing this line of text, Sebastian breathed a long sigh of relief. This operation had seemed relatively smooth, but it was terrifying. Any mistakes could have led to failure.
By now, Sebastian understood the entire history. Many geniuses might have easily overwhelmed the world with this arduous task, but this was simply not something most could accomplish. Without the help of the system and relying solely on the Astra Militarum, there was also a high probability of failure.
The next moment, Sebastian found that the awakening space prompt was not finished. Another line of text appeared: [Congratulations on becoming the 1st Planet Master to complete the Eternal Level Difficulty. To protect your safety, the Awakening Space will keep the completion of this mission a secret.]
"Hm?" Seeing this line of text, Sebastian froze, then immediately reacted.
The Awakening Space was careful; if the results got out and were known to outsiders, then...
There had been many geniuses in history, but Sebastian was the only one to complete the Eternal Level. There was no guarantee of how rival forces or other influential factions would react; even other top schools certainly could not congratulate him from the heart. What would they do with him in the shadows?
But Sebastian accepted it; he would keep it hidden from the outside world, as the Eternal Level mission had finished. Terra's future potential would be of the Eternal Level; no other planet could compare.
[ ===== ]
At that same moment, while the Awakening Space verified that Sebastian had completed the Eternal Level mission, in the Endless Star Territory, two people were floating on a huge planet.
A man in blue and a middle-aged man in black. These two appeared to be only 40 or 50 years old, but in reality, they were thousands of years old, both being Level 6 Planet Masters with long lifespans.
"In the Endless Star Territory, we have explored for hundreds of years, and we are still far from our goal," the man in blue said, gazing into the faraway depths of space. He shook his head and sighed.
"You still want to explore the Endless Star Territory? Stop dreaming; finding more unique planets and collecting more treasures is the best approach," the middle-aged man in black chuckled.
"That's all we can do," the man in blue replied helplessly. "In this star field, I don't know if I will ever see the end!"
"How many people have tried, from the past to the present? Many have been curious about this star field and traveled far, but..." The middle-aged man in black shook his head, "None have returned. This is not something a Level 6 Planet Master can contend with; I suspect it requires more strength."
"I realized this earlier, but I am still reluctant," the man in blue replied with a faint smile. "But you're right; improving our strength is the priority!"
"Where are you going next?" the man in black asked.
"Let's go over there and take a look," the man in blue said, pointing to a direction on the left. "I have not been there yet; perhaps I can find some rare planets. Do you want to come along?"
"You can go by yourself; I'll pass," the middle-aged man in black replied, shaking his head. "I have to return. Unlike you, I still have family responsibilities and a group of juniors to worry about."
"You have too many concerns. You can't be as free as I am, so I'll go first," the man in blue laughed and walked to the left.
Suddenly, from the surrounding stars, a dazzling bright light burst forth. Not just from nearby stars, but from planets near and far, whether they were large or small, inhabited or lifeless, they all emitted light. The endless darkness of the starry sky was illuminated by the radiance of the planets.
The man in blue couldn't help but stop. Together with the middle-aged man in black, he observed the astonishing scene. Above the starry sky, there appeared to be an ethereal chanting voice, as if congratulating someone for something.
"What is this..." Both the middle-aged man in black and the man in blue stared wide-eyed at this amazing sight, listening to the melodious chants.
They were astounded. Even though they had lived for thousands of years, they had never seen anything like it. The next moment, ancient rumors resurfaced.
"That is... someone has completed an Eternal Level Promotion mission!?" the middle-aged man in black exclaimed.
The stars sparkled, and billions of stars are collectively celebrating this unprecedented miracle.
