Chapter 1306: The Wasteland Project The Ideal Homeland

Since the world entered a new era of superheroes, gods, and outer space creatures, the nuclear weapons that humanity has banned since World War II have long since lifted the terrible seal on its body.

The United States may be the first country in the world to bear this price. Under the control of Hydra, they dropped three nuclear bombs on their own land alone. One of them had a devastating effect on the whole of New York that would not necessarily dissipate for hundreds of years.

It can be said that this is the cause of the sluggish situation in the United States and the decline of the international situation. And now, after the United States, India is about to become the second country to suffer such a backlash. It's fair to say that this is exactly what Steve expected, and in other words, it's all the most important thing Steve wants to see.

After all, Hydra is an evil organization with a special purpose, and it is not without reason that they are characterized as terrorists. And under such circumstances, how could they come to India and become some kind of freedom fighters, leaders of the people's liberation movement? In the end, it was just a façade, and even if Steve had always had the ambition to open the door to a brighter future for humanity, it was absolutely impossible for him to place his wish in such a way that was destined to be suppressed, weakened, or even destroyed.

Everything he did here, including organizing the Anthropomorphic rebellion against the government, including his collaboration with Rama Mujam, and even taking the entire Indian government into his own hands, was in the service of what he is doing today. His goal is such a wasteland after the nuclear devastation.

And the reason why there are such strange targets is simply because the nature of the hydra makes it impossible for them to occupy any normal piece of land. If it wants to take root and sprout, this organization with the nature of a hellflower can only do it in the ashes of the wasteland, where blood and fire are intertwined, and ordinary people cannot set foot in it. And what could be more suitable for Hydra in this world than the forbidden zone of life ravaged by nuclear radiation? The answer, of course, is no.

However, even Hydra is having a hard time taking root in this soil. Because this is a nuclear weapon after all, and as a weapon, its lethality is naturally impossible to avoid you because you are a hydra. Hydra will still take this damage, but they will be more resistant to it than ordinary people.

This resistance is built on thorough preparation, and Steve has already put this preparation into practice in part of the previous layout. Now, he needs to implement another preparation to ensure that his plan is finally completed. And this time, he couldn't rely on anyone else to complete this final step, because this time, all he could rely on was his own strength.

Ballistic missiles loaded with nuclear warheads are speeding towards Mumbai. Propelled by great power, its speed has reached the level of standard Mach. And such a speed has reached the point where many interceptor weapons cannot accurately intercept it. Not to mention, there are no effective interceptor weapons on Indian soil to intercept them.

It can be said that if it is allowed to continue flying, then the whole of Mumbai will be completely reduced to a sea of ashes in this million-ton nuclear bomb. Countless people and buildings will disappear in the blinding light, and those who are lucky will not escape the horror of the shock wave and heat. The whole city will be in ruins in an instant, and Mumbai, the city that bears the glory of India, will also be completely drawn to the dust of history.

Of course, there's no way Steve could have made it happen. After all, Mumbai is not the same as other cities, while it is the core of the entire Indian economy, it is also the most important stronghold of the Theogod religion in India. It includes almost half of the combatable members and core leadership of the entire Anthropo-God Cult. After spending so much thought and energy to create an organization as large as the Cult of God, Steve didn't want them to be wiped out under the threat of such a nuclear bomb.

Because they are still useful, not only for them, but also for the city. So he had to keep here, from a megaton nuclear bomb.

It's just that you can't just talk about it. Steve was only a mortal after all, and even with the power of the Golden King's Sword, he still couldn't reach the height of a god. Even a true god might not be able to do such a thing, let alone him.

However, it is not entirely impossible. Because in addition to the King's Sword, he also has another artifact in his hand, and with the help of that artifact, it may not be impossible for him to do all this.

The nuclear bomb has arrived as scheduled, and through the installed equipment, Steve has clearly grasped its tracks, and believes that in this case, it will soon be visible to the naked eye alone. But by that time, it would be too late. So Steve, naturally, couldn't wait any longer, but suddenly pulled out the golden sword in his hand and strode towards the air in front of him.

Inspired by Celtic mythology, this sword gives Steve extraordinary powers, allowing him to stride forward as if he were on the ground, even if he stepped on the air. Step by step, it was a complete meteor stride, and he had already appeared above the clouds of the entire city, looking down on everything that the city had to offer.

However, instead of casting his eyes on the city beneath his feet, Steve fixed his gaze on the sky above him, staring at the golden fire that was already faintly visible.

A loud sound had already reached his ears, and the fierce wind in the clouds had caused his untreated hair to fly wildly. This made him feel a huge pressure, and under this pressure, there was an excited smile on his face.

How long has it been since I felt this feeling that even my fingertips were shaking, and how long had it been since I felt this pleasure of blood boiling? Since becoming the leader of Hydra, he has rarely stepped to the front in person as he used to. Although it feels comfortable to sit in the rear and dominate the overall situation, it lacks the stimulation that belongs to the instinct of a warrior. And now, he finally found this feeling again, which naturally inevitably made him excited.

And in the midst of such excitement, he had already raised the golden, jewel-encrusted scabbard in his hand, and called out its name in a voice that came entirely from the bottom of his heart and soul.

"Wake up, get away from all ideals!"

As soon as the words fell, endless brilliant light had already emanated from the scabbard, and overwhelmingly turned into a hemispherical light curtain, enveloping the entire city.

The golden light makes it clear to people in every corner of the city, and for those who have already seen it, they naturally know who is the author of it all. So immediately, countless devout Anthropoists had already fallen to their knees and bowed respectfully to the golden light that appeared in the sky.

They were chanting the name of their saint and praising all the good life he had brought to them. This is an incomprehensible act to those who have not yet joined the Anthropotheistic Cult, not only because of the piety of these believers, but also because of the extraordinary power that is now being demonstrated.

Faith, that's something that every Indian has almost done. But whether they believe in Hindu gods, Buddhist Buddhas, or even Islamic gods, they have never seen the reality of their belief in being sanctified in this world. In this world, the only miracle that appears is caused by the Ming King on the other side of the world, and the Ming King is too far away and too unrealistic for them. They couldn't find a reason to believe in him, especially when the deity was still so low-key.

But now, the situation is different. A new miracle was presented to them, and the great presence represented by this miracle was not far from them. So, as if they saw the light in the darkness, they knelt on the ground one by one, completely subconsciously, following the followers of the Theosocracy.

Although I don't know what to recite, I don't know what words to use to express my inner shock and faith. However, their hearts are absolutely religious. In such a situation, they could bring the same thing to Steve as the Anthropotheon believers, and that was exactly what Steve needed.

Relying solely on his strength to counter the power of a nuclear bomb is not a decision that a wise person should make. So, from the very beginning, Steve was playing the idea of the people who lived in the city.

Take advantage of this miraculous phenomenon to attract them to prayer. Using the power of faith born in their hearts, the ideal country that is far away from everything will give birth to a greater guardian force. That's what Steve had in mind, and in the beginning, he only targeted the people who were devout enough to devote. Therefore, the participation of those citizens of Mumbai was completely unexpected for him.

Of course, that's a good thing. Because of the addition of the power of their faith, the ideal country far away from everything burst out with a more powerful and incredible power. The golden mask became more and more brilliant, and from a distance, it seemed as if a hemispherical shape of pure gold was protecting the city.

It's incredible, almost everyone who sees all this can't help but think so. And just as they were amazed and surprised, the biggest threat was already on the way.
