It was just a few short seconds.

On the vast battlefield, only the Epic Level Experts and above remained on Earth's side, along with machines scattered all around that could deploy nuclear weapons.

...

In the distance, tens of miles away from the center of the battlefield, stood a skyscraper.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan stood on the water tower atop the skyscraper's roof, observing the situation on the battlefield from tens of miles away.

A battlefield with the entry of Mythical Level Experts was very dangerous.

Conversely, there were also many opportunities, with the potential for a large number of alien bodies to be produced in a short time.

Lin Zichen, who was only one step away from evolving into a Mythical Level Creature, couldn't give up this opportunity. He decided to stop at this skyscraper with Shen Qinghan, observing the battlefield from afar, looking for chances to take advantage of any situation.

"Lin Zi, the military is about to use a nuclear strike. Should we leave this place?"

Shen Qinghan said somewhat nervously, knowing the power of nuclear weapons and worrying that she and Lin Zichen might be affected by the blast.

Lin Zichen calmly replied, "We are both Legendary Level Creatures now. Even if we were at the center of a nuclear explosion, we would be unharmed, so there's no need to evacuate."

"That's true..."

Shen Qinghan's voice still carried a hint of unease.

Experience exclusive tales on empire

Although textbooks mention that once a creature reaches the Epic Level, it can withstand a nuclear explosion.

Still, she was somewhat apprehensive.

After all, the explosion of a nuclear weapon was too terrifying, with a very strong visual impact—it didn't seem like something that a creature of flesh and blood could withstand.

"Buzz...buzz...buzz!"

In the sky ahead, a series of piercing whistling noises suddenly reverberated one after another.

Looking in the direction of the noise, Lin Zichen saw large groups of Mechanically Modified Humans, trailing flames, speeding toward the direction of the skyscraper.

These were some of the Mechanically Modified Humans retreating from the center of the battlefield, with most of them carrying one or more Genetic Integrators flying rapidly.

Under the blessing of the "Eye of the Sky,"

With just one glance, Lin Zichen noticed several familiar faces among this group of Mechanically Modified Humans.

The genius mechanical girl—Lü Qingyu.

A female genius he had encountered during special military training—Zhu Shishi.

And a senior he had met when he joined the Martial Arts Team in junior high—Zhang Kaizi.

These three were now members of the Machine God Group.

As the distance closed quickly, the three of them soon noticed Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan on the skyscraper.

Among them, Lü Qingyu and Zhang Kai slowed down and landed in front of the two.

"What are you two doing here?"

As soon as Zhang Kai had finished speaking, and without waiting for a response, he immediately added, "The battlefield has decided to deploy nuclear weapons to clear the area. You two should leave quickly and stop crowding around here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lü Qingyu spoke up, "Let me take you two out of here. My counter-flow propulsion device is the latest model, capable of burst speeds comparable to a Middle Order Rare Level Fighter."

Lin Zichen replied calmly, "Thanks for the offer, but there's no need. Both of us have evolved to Legendary Level and can withstand a nuclear blast."

What?!

Legendary Level?!

Zhang Kai and Lü Qingyu widened their eyes, full of disbelief, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

Having never left the Origin Land, they were not aware of what was happening elsewhere and did not know that Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan had already evolved into Legendary Level Creatures.

"Zi Chen, you're joking, right?"

Zhang Kai, still disbelieving, continued, "You're only how old this year, just around twenty, right? How could you possibly have evolved into an Epic Level Creature?"

Faced with skepticism from an acquaintance, Lin Zichen didn't waste words. He simply willed it and released the immense pressure characteristic of a Legendary Level Creature to prove it.

The powerful pressure spread out, immediately making Zhang Kai and Lü Qingyu collapse to the ground, their insides filling up with fear of high-order creatures.

He really is Legendary Level!

Lin Zichen has truly evolved into a Legendary Level Creature!

What's going on?!

How did he manage it?!

After feeling the intensity of the pressure that Lin Zichen released, Zhang Kai and Lü Qingyu were in shock, their minds in turmoil, unable to comprehend what was happening before them.

In their understanding, Rare Level Fighters were already people of distinction.

Epic Level Experts a notch higher were dominant lords who could scorn the whole world.

As for Legendary Level Experts, they were the true rulers of a country, living fossils who had lived for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.

Yet Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan in front of them were only about twenty, how could they possibly have evolved into Legendary Level Fighters!

It was utterly unrealistic!

Seeing them still in a daze, Lin Zichen urged in a faint voice, "The nuclear blast is starting, you should leave now. Don't worry about us."

Hearing him, the two quickly came out of their stunned state.

"We'll leave then, be careful."

With those words, Lü Qingyu immediately rose into the air and, under the propulsion of the latest edition of the counter-flow propulsion device, her body instantly became a remnant shadow disappearing into the distance.

Seeing this, Zhang Kai didn't linger. He briefly bid farewell to Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan before also activating his propulsion device and flying off.

"Boom—!"

Not long after the two had left, the center of the battlefield erupted with a resounding explosion that shook the earth.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan immediately looked towards the sound, and what came into view was a gigantic mushroom cloud that spread across the entire sky.

Before they could comment on the power of the nuclear explosion, the next second brought the sound of dozens of similar explosions.

The center of the battlefield instantly saw the rise of dozens of huge mushroom clouds, looking from afar like an apocalyptic scene, blocking out the sky.
