Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 344: Chapter 45: Majesty

The fireball floated between Su Xiao’s hands, expanding and contracting to the size of a dragon’s eye. This compressed energy was enough to make even Kizaru feel uneasy.

Thud.

A muffled sound suddenly came from within the fireball, and Su Xiao’s expression changed as he realized his mistake.

The shape of the fireball started to become unstable, no longer a perfect sphere, rapidly changing shape like a mass of liquid.

Sweat dripped down Su Xiao’s forehead, and his mana value decreased rapidly like flowing water.

”Not good!”

Veins bulged on Su Xiao’s forehead; if it weren’t for the Spirit Shadow Physique enhancing his control over his mana value, he wouldn’t be able to suppress the fireball’s changes.

”What, made a mistake?”

”Yes, it was a mistake.”

”So, should we escape?”

”No need to escape yet, wait, run!”

Kizaru grabbed Su Xiao and Vega Punk’s arms and, with a swoosh, rushed outside the shelter, a yellow light shadow flashing past.

Because the speed was so fast, Su Xiao’s vision went dark, and when his sight returned, a blinding light appeared behind him.

A fireball with a diameter of three hundred meters was exploding, like the sun crashing into the ground, vaporizing soil, steel, cement, and everything else.

Boom!

An intense ringing filled his ears, and a gust of wind blew toward him. Su Xiao raised his left hand, wrapped in a red protective arm, in front of his face.

The sun was blooming, incinerating everything!

When the explosion caused by Apollo subsided, a circular crater three hundred meters wide and two hundred meters deep appeared not far away.

Cold sweat dripped from Kizaru’s face; he had just used his full speed.

”Such power...”

Vega Punk, covered in dust, displayed a smile as if he had discovered a treasure.

”Fortunately, the explosion range is only one-third of the finished product’s.”

Su Xiao brushed the dust off his clothes, his eyes seeming to burn with flames.

”Let’s move to another location to continue making it.”

”Huh?”

Kizaru looked at Su Xiao in surprise.

”What’s wrong, Admiral Borsalino?”

”Nothing.”

Inwardly, Kizaru decided that he absolutely could not let Su Xiao near Navy Headquarters. If such a bomb were to be thrown there, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The remaining materials were enough for two more attempts, and if both failed, Su Xiao wouldn’t be able to witness Apollo’s true form in the short term.

”Let’s go to the backup shelter, it should meet our needs as well.”

Vega Punk’s suggestion left Kizaru silent. With this shelter destroyed, Sengoku would undoubtedly be furious; this was all money.

”Hurry then, I’m in good condition now.”

Guided by Vega Punk, Su Xiao quickly reached the backup shelter.

It was slightly smaller than the previous shelter but could still accommodate the necessary requirements for creation.

Su Xiao took out three kinds of materials and began processing them, Kizaru’s body tense, the memory of the previous explosion still vivid.

The glaring fireball reappeared between Su Xiao’s hands; with the previous experience, he was noticeably more skilled.

Every time the fireball expanded or contracted, Kizaru would tense up, finding it more thrilling than fighting enemies.

Though Kizaru himself wasn’t in danger, if something happened to Su Xiao or Vega Punk, he wouldn’t need to be a Naval Admiral anymore.

After half an hour of tension, Su Xiao, drenched in sweat, let out a long breath.

”It’s done.”

Su Xiao held an apple-sized sphere in his hand, its surface fiery red, resembling a small sun.

Apollo seemed to have a high temperature, like a glowing red iron ball, but in hand, it was merely warm.

”Is this the Sun God Apollo?”

Vega Punk inspected the bomb in Su Xiao’s hand, seemingly not expecting Apollo to be so small.

”Yes, this is the Sun God Apollo.”

Su Xiao tossed the bomb in his hand, and Kizaru, seeing this, almost lunged forward to seize Su Xiao.

”Dr. Bai Ye, put down the bomb, we can talk this out.”

”Don’t worry, the finished Apollo is very stable, and unless actively activated, even being crushed won’t cause it to explode.”

While speaking, Su Xiao squeezed Apollo.

”Hey, hey.”

”Bai Ye, calm down.”

Kizaru and Vega Punk both stepped back; squeezing a bomb seemed a bit insane.

Su Xiao knew the bombs he made very well; after being successfully created, Apollo was extremely stable and had undergone a qualitative change, even cutting it open wouldn’t be an issue.

Looking at Apollo’s attributes, they were unsurprisingly astonishing, but the weak points were also clear.

[Sun God Apollo]

Quality: Purple

Type: Consumable

Effect: Can consume 1 mana point to actively activate (detonation range of two kilometers, with the creator’s detonation range increasing to four kilometers), causing 6000 points of true burn damage within 1000 meters upon explosion, with an additional 2000 points of fire burn damage.

Note: Detonating the Sun God Apollo requires 30 seconds.

Rating: 143

Description: The majesty of the sun cannot be defied!

...

The power was freakishly strong, but unfortunately, the detonation time was too long, making it suitable for sieges but not for combat.

If the enemy was fast enough, they could escape the blast range in those 30 seconds, which was also why the Sun God Apollo was stable, needing a long activation time.

Throwing the bomb to Kizaru, Su Xiao walked out of the shelter.

”Bai Ye, there’s something we need to discuss later.”

Vega Punk spoke, Su Xiao’s eyes flickered, and he nodded.

Kizaru held the bomb with a dark expression, imagining its power. The previous range had been terrifyingly large even at a third.

Kizaru left the Experimental Island with the Sun God Apollo, intending to deliver it to the World Government quickly, after notifying Sengoku, of course.

Returning to the laboratory, Su Xiao leaned back in a recliner, feeling exhausted. Creating the Sun God Apollo was extremely energy-consuming.

Although the Sun God Apollo’s power was astonishing, Su Xiao didn’t plan to manufacture it in large quantities at his own expense, at most making one for siege or self-destruction.

With such immense power, there were indeed drawbacks, and seeing the purple quality with a 143 rating, Su Xiao could estimate its high cost, conservatively speculated to exceed fifty thousand Paradise coins, not including Soul Crystals (Small).

Given that many Paradise coins, Su Xiao would prefer to enhance his own strength, and the fifty thousand was a conservative price.

Compared to the Sun God Apollo, the Special level Alchemy Bomb, although much less powerful, could be detonated instantly and likely carried a lower cost, proving more practical.

The best techniques are those that can kill, even if the Sun God Apollo could deal a hundred thousand damage, it was useless if it couldn’t hit anyone, after all, he couldn’t exactly stuff the Sun God Apollo into an enemy’s mouth to detonate it, akin to using a cannon to swat a mosquito.

The Sun God Apollo wasn’t without its merits; for hoodwinking plot characters, it was decent. While Su Xiao might not need it, some large forces might find it perfect for warfare, a veritable demon in battle.

Not long after, Su Xiao fell asleep in the recliner, while Kizaru had left the island, with the Navy and World Government likely to react soon.

At this time, on the workbench in front of Su Xiao lay a knife, a Good Fast Blade Fifty Work delivered this morning.

Su Xiao had already checked the knife’s attributes, and though it was equipment certified by Reincarnation Paradise, he didn’t have ownership.

He didn’t need ownership at all; before he left, he planned to use the Supreme Blade to convert this knife into nourishment for the Dragon Slash, it was just that the time wasn’t right yet.
