Chapter 107: The Flame That Burns Everything Out
However, Li Jie, who was below them, only raised his head slightly, his golden pupils suddenly rolled, blooming with a bright and dazzling light, his hands rose together, and the overwhelming red flames erupted!
At this moment, almost the entire sky above the sunset square was ignited by flames, turning into a boundless sea of fire, completely incorporating the huge magic plant purple tree and stone statue into it, whether it was a strange magic plant that was constantly decomposing, or a meteorite that was bigger than a house and fell violently, as long as it came into contact with the flames, it seemed to become fragile, and it was quickly melted by the flames, becoming a large piece of liquid spilled, or even directly vaporized!
Ahh!!!h
As Persia and Gusin desperately urged the magic energy, they continued to transform new hard meteorites and killing demon plants, but they were still quickly melted by the endless flames that erupted, as if the entire world was plunged into a boundless sea of fire, never stopping to burn, and even the huge bodies they protected were constantly reducing and becoming smaller and smaller at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye......
"It can't be!"
Feeling the thousands of degrees of heat of the boundless flames and even rising, because of the deep fear on Persia's dark face, he finally couldn't resist the threat of death, and began to turn around and want to fly away.
But it was too late, he was already on top of Li Jie's head, he could be said to be the main target of the flame impact, even if he had already burst out at a speed of twelve minutes, he was still quickly engulfed in the bright red flames, and he didn't even have time to let out a scream, completely melted and vaporized, and even the soul origin was destroyed.
The majestic flames rose hundreds of meters into the sky, completely reflecting the night sky above Los Angeles, the City of Angels. Within a radius of dozens of kilometers, you can clearly see the incomparable light between these moments, which startled countless people to scream and shock, sirens hiss, horns to make noise, and chaos everywhere.
All Angelenos who witnessed this moment. I was already in a state of panic and fear, but I didn't know what was going on, and I really cried and felt like the end was coming.
In the square, the huge stone statue of Gusin, which was more than fifty meters high, had also been burned in half, and only half of its body was left to fly backwards with difficulty, and the continuous replenishment of earth and stones was not enough to withstand the consumption, struggling in the sea of fire that quickly shifted after killing Inbo.
Even the Guxin body in the core of the stone statue has been gradually exposed. He finally looked at the terrible man who was in charge of it all with his eyes red from the firelight, and Li Jie, who was shrouded in boundless flames in the center of the square, sensed the other party's determination to destroy Los Angeles and kill him. There was no longer the slightest hope of escaping, and suddenly I realized in my heart that I was miserable and miserable:
"It's ...... This is the power of legends...... I know who you are......"
"Lord of the Sun...... Mephisto? Ferrers ...... Adults will help me get revenge......"
"Ah!!!!!!h
He couldn't say any more, because the flames that had almost climbed to the extreme had captured his body and completely dissipated into an extreme crimson. After an instant. There is no trace of the existence of this powerful master.
The fire faded away.
"A lowly being is not worthy to call me by my name. And your so-called grown-up...... If you don't know how to do it, you will quickly follow in your footsteps. ”
The crimson that had enveloped the entire area a moment ago had completely disappeared, and only Li Jie, who was suspended in the air, was still shrouded in raging flames, but the flames that were enough to melt everything became extremely well-behaved and quiet at this moment, and would not cause any harm to himself, because the two were originally one.
From the moment Impos and Gusin went all out, it was no longer realistic to try to control the scale of the battle. Under such circumstances, Li Jie would not let them escape no matter what. Even some traces can be seen in the impact. He didn't want any details to be brought back, so he let others suspect it, and it would be beneficial to delay a little longer.
And after the Great War, Sunset Square ...... No, it should be said that the sunset square that used to be has almost ceased to exist.
Except for the small dilapidated area behind Li Jie, there is no longer any object above the ground in front of him, and a huge cavity hundreds of meters long appears as far as the eye can see, and even the ground has been directly dug out of a layer, and occasionally the tops of some of the underground buildings that have survived are still in flames and have not yet burned out.
This is almost inevitable, because in the final stage, the incessant heat of flames, which are close to 10,000 degrees, is enough to vaporize everything within the radiation range and wipe it out of the area.
Countless ashes and the debris of the hot melt were scattered in the rapidly cooling air and wind, and scattered in strange shapes, making it impossible to discern the original traces.
There was silence all around, and occasionally some unmelted wreckage fell into the ground dozens of meters that had been dug up, and the sound of impact echoed in the distance.
Legendary-level power completely destroyed all possible living things on the earth.
The attacks of the two masters, Persia and Gusin, had almost razed Sunset Square to ruins, and in the end, Li Jie's majestic sea of red fire pierced the sky, which was enough to make the whole of Los Angeles tremble, and it is conservatively estimated that at least millions of humans have seen the apocalyptic scene.
It can be said that this sudden attack completely broke Li Jie's plan, and also made the demons' superweight destructive power officially revealed in front of humans.
This is followed by a serious question, how will humanity perceive such a terrible force?
A hastily ushered battle was over, but the waves had just been lifted, and he could fully imagine the next tremors.
In the noise from far and near, Li Jie's figure quickly disappeared into the sky.
――――――――――
The chill in Washington can still be felt in April.
The black Cadillac stretch sedan pulled smoothly into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and through the one-way window, you could clearly see that the white classical-style sandstone building was close at hand.
The sedan slowly stopped in front of the tall stone steps, Gus got out of the car with quick movements, opened the back seat, and Li Jie stepped out of the car unhurriedly. Glancing up at the political heart of the United States, a hair-curded woman in a formal suit was already waiting in front of the door, as she walked up the steps under the arch of bodyguards.
"Good evening. Mr. Lee, I'm Michelle, the White House Social Secretary? Rogers. Ask your bodyguards to hand over their weapons to Agent Brenzo, and he will arrange for a few gentlemen to wait in the break room. ”
Several big men with big shoulders and round waists and suits stepped forward with expressionless faces, and looked at the Gus and the others coldly, and this silent and forcible demon naturally didn't pay any attention to them, and just cast an inquiring look at Li Jie.
"It's okay, you guys go and rest."
Li Jie smiled slightly. Seemingly unaware of the Secret Service agents' sense of disobedience, he waved his hand for Gus to do so, and then looked at Michelle in front of him.
"Please follow me." Michelle smiled professionally. Turning and walking deeper into the hallway, the black heels hitting the ground with a crisp sound. "Your Excellency the President is about to make a national statement, please rest in the reception room for a while."
The professional social secretary has a very upright posture and does not look out of the slightest. But there was almost no substantial eye contact with Li Jie from beginning to end. Let him clearly feel a trace of nervousness that the other party is trying to hide.
"You seem to be afraid of me? Michelle? ”
Li Jie followed behind the other party, suddenly asked, and looked at the interior decoration of the White House relaxedly, the simple and atmospheric decoration can be seen to be quite old, and the portraits of previous presidents are hung above the wall.
"What...... Oh, no, Mr. Lee, of course not. ”
Michelle paused slightly. Then he turned his head and gave a reluctant smile.
Interesting, from these details. It is not difficult to see some clues, it seems that the atmosphere of today's meeting is not so friendly.
Accompanied by the social secretary and two other Secret Service agents, Li Jie entered a lounge in the west wing of the White House.
"Michelle, can you turn on the TV? I would like to see the statement made by His Excellency the President. ”
After the TV was turned on, sure enough, you could already see the set up podium and the agents waiting for it, and after a few minutes, Sheila appeared in front of the camera with a solemn expression:
"Citizens of America, a terrible disaster struck downtown Los Angeles earlier yesterday evening...... On behalf of the White House, I would like to express my sincere condolences to the dead and injured in the Los Angeles bombing and their families...... I have made urgent contact with the FBI and the Department of Defense, and the details of the incident are still under further investigation, and it can be preliminarily determined that it is a terrorist incident caused by sabotage by superpowers......"
"We still haven't come to all the conclusions, but one thing is certain, whether there are any instructors and escapees behind the scenes, they will not escape justice...... At the same time, in response to the growing crime of superpowers, I have signed an emergency mobilization order, which reads as follows......"
"All incidents of sabotage related to the superpowers will be judged and responded to according to the standards of terrorist attacks...... Starting at 21 o'clock tonight, various cities will dispatch national guards and reserve forces to strengthen the security protection of airports, ports, docks, downtown areas and other public places at home and abroad...... The Ministry of Defense's Power Armor Special Unit will be deployed to major cities within a week, and will be expanded to become a standing armed force in each city within the next six months to a year, specifically to deal with superhuman terrorist attacks......"
"The new Artificial Genome Act and the Superpowered Management Act will be revised and improved in 5 to 7 days, and will come into force. I must solemnly warn that any terrorist attack will be regarded as a serious provocation against the United States at any time and in any place, and we will resolutely combat it......"
"Citizens of America, we have the courage, the justice, the strength and the faith, and we will help each other and walk together as we have ever faced any challenge, and the U.S. government has the confidence and determination to overcome any injustice. God bless everyone, God bless America, thank you. ”
……
Li Kit kept his eyes on the screen, listening carefully to the full content of the statement, although the statement contained many eye-catching contents, such as the government's first public acknowledgment of the existence of the superpowers, rather than the previous cover-up, as well as the intense deployment of power armored forces, the upcoming artificial genome and the superpower management bill, and so on, and a key detail - there was no mention of himself in the entire statement.
This probably shows that the White House, or Sheila, still hasn't made up its mind about how to deal with its own attitude, and the implications of this are intriguing.
Fortunately, the release of the statement is different from the press conference, there is no media Q&A session, otherwise I am afraid that Sheila will have a headache, because at least tens of millions of ordinary people clearly know through the Internet that Li Jie entered Sunset Square to confront the threatener, but what happened after that is because the witnesses are all dead and no one knows.
But this will also make more people concerned about this issue, and I think Sheila is also well aware that the situation has taken a turn for the worse than expected, and the time that can be delayed must be limited, which is also an important reason why he came here directly to talk to the other party.
Five minutes later, he entered the Oval Office under the guidance of Michelle, which shows the eagerness of His Excellency the President. In addition to Sheila, who had just finished issuing a statement, there was also an old man with a resolute face sitting on the sofa, and Li Jie certainly recognized this person for the first time, the current Minister of Defense Gates.
There were only three people left in the huge office, and after a brief introduction to both parties, Sheila motioned for Li Jie to sit down with a serious face.
"Bruce, today's conversation is limited to this office, OK?"
Li Jie's eyes swept over the two, and he vaguely understood that the other party had a lot of suspicion, but he still spread his hands calmly and said that he had no opinion.
"What happened in Sunset Square last night?"
When this sentence was asked, Sheila and Gates looked almost strikingly similar, staring at Li Jie's face, as if trying to capture any change in expression and see through his heart.
"Yesterday I was going to a party at a friend's house, and then I received threats and provocations from a superpower......"
Their attempts were obviously in vain, and in the face of the supreme power in the United States, Li Jie still looked at them very calmly, and then said the answer that he had already thought of, roughly that yesterday he accidentally learned that a superpower had kidnapped his fan Ou Jia? Zane, so he rushed to the rescue as soon as possible, but encountered a premeditated ambush, and after a fierce battle between the two sides, he barely defeated the right party, but the scene was still completely destroyed.
"You're lying! A few superpowers, capable of causing such huge destructive power?!
Without waiting for Sheila to speak, Gates couldn't wait to stand up and refute, his face was extremely gloomy, and his forehead was throbbing, revealing the excitement of the defense minister at this time.
They had already seen the clear photos from the scene in Los Angeles by the Special Investigation Force, and almost the entire Sunset Square was like a paranormal event, and no trace of its existence was ever found.
Note that it was not destroyed by an explosion, but completely disappeared!
Only the scorched black and underground ruins left after the high temperature scorched bear witness to the existence of this once bustling city center.
This made them unimaginable, just a few people, can have such terrifying power?
Even if you have seen the battle between Li Jie and the monster in the Wall Street incident, the shock brought by witnessing it with your own eyes is far less than one thousandth of the pictures you only watched after the fact!
"It seems that you are not aware of the destructive power of the superpowers. Do you really believe that all this was the result of a special explosion, as the statement says? ”
In the face of Gates's questioning, Li Jie still did not change his face, and even asked lightly. (To be continued......)
