Reincarnation Paradise - Chapter 902

Academy City, District 2, Heavy Industrial Area, on the street.

Sparks flew as a robot, cut into three sections, struggled to stand. Its electronic eye flickered a few times before it broke down.

The scent of blood filled the air. A Hound Squad member leaned against a street trash can, clad in black combat gear. He clutched his throat with one hand, convulsing as blood poured from his mouth and the cut on his throat.

Looking down the street toward the center of District 2, one could see the area littered with mech wreckage and Hound Squad corpses. It was as if a “beast” had charged out from the center of District 2, crushing everything in its path.

At the edge of District 2.

Ratatatatat!

Heavy machine guns spewed fire. A soldier shook with the recoil, unloading a chain of bullets toward a wastewater treatment plant.

More than twenty heavy machine guns bombarded the treatment plant, while drones occasionally whizzed overhead, dropping small missiles. The missiles left trails of flame in the air before crashing into the plant.

Over two-thirds of the wastewater treatment plant was destroyed, with concrete debris scattered everywhere and thick smoke faintly lit by flames.

Compared to this, the scene at the center of District 2 was even more terrifying, with flames soaring high, burning for over half an hour.

Dozens of fire trucks moved through District 2, but neither water nor dry powder extinguishers could quench the green flames. Instead, the fire seemed to spread further. Even a few air-manipulating superpowered individuals couldn’t suppress the blaze.

Concrete, metal, asphalt—anything touched by these green flames became fuel, with over a quarter of District 2 engulfed in a sea of fire.

This was the result of the bomb Su Xiao had created. To be precise, it was a volatile giant incendiary bomb. The materials included Fire Gold (642g), Enriched Uranium (12000g), Fissionable Combustible Material (6725g), Compressed Solid Oxygen (7534g), and Green Phosphorus Solution Extract (756g).

These were the main components of the giant incendiary bomb, along with various catalytic, stabilizing, and auxiliary combustion materials.

If Yan Chen or Fake Joker saw these green flames, they would immediately think of the Green Phosphorus Fire Molotov.

Although Su Xiao hadn’t created the Green Phosphorus Fire Molotov, a weapon from the war world that could potentially burn him and Xie to death, he had thoroughly studied the Green Phosphorus Solution. After the war ended, he spent his time in Reincarnation Paradise, not in the arena but in his private room, researching Green Phosphorus Solutions.

This sizeable incendiary bomb was the product of combining Green Phosphorus Solution with technology. In terms of power, it didn’t match Apollo’s instant lethality but exceeded Apollo’s destructiveness, especially toward buildings.

This inextinguishable incendiary bomb exploding in District 2 had made Aleister lose his composure. The hundreds of drones circling above, along with the dark division members and hundreds of Hound Squad soldiers in District 2, showed Aleister’s determination to kill Su Xiao, deploying nearly all his forces except himself.

However, the dark division members could have been more diligent. For instance, the second-ranked superpower user, Teitoku Kakine, enjoyed the fire spectacle in District 2.

Continuous explosions echoed from the edge of District 2 as drones swarmed the sky.

Su Xiao was hiding in a heavily bombarded wastewater treatment plant, observing the outside through an alchemical crow.

“There’s no immediate risk of being surrounded. ‘Hades’ burns well, but the flame spread is too slow, slower than ordinary flames. It needs modification. Adding enriched uranium was a mistake, but… the enemy has already witnessed Hades’ power, which is good.”

Su Xiao named the Green Phosphorus Incendiary Bomb “Hades,” a fitting name for the green flames.

If Apollo was about ferocity, leaving nothing alive within a 1000-meter radius, then Hades was about burning, continuously spreading flames. Hades’ initial burn radius was only five meters, but if fully spread, it could cover an area of 5000 to 6000 meters, or 5 to 6 kilometers.

Hades and Apollo had different roles. For combat, Apollo was more suitable. Hades, however, was meant to burn the enemy’s base, not for direct combat, as even an older adult with poor mobility could outrun its spread.

Boom!

A loud noise came from above, and dust fell on Su Xiao’s head. He had rested enough and needed to continue his breakout.

Zing!

Over a dozen blade beams flashed, shattering the concrete layer above. Bubuwang, carrying Su Xiao, dashed out of the wastewater treatment plant.

As soon as Su Xiao appeared, the drones dove towards him.

“Aleister, do you believe I’ll send you another ‘firework’?”

However, Su Xiao’s threat seemed ineffective. The drones continued their dive.

“I’ll send the second one to District 7.”

Upon hearing this, Su Xiao took out another detonator.

In the windowless building in District 7, Aleister hung upside down in a glass column. Seeing Su Xiao pull out the second detonator, his expression changed, and his pupils contracted rapidly.

District 2 was an industrial area with few residents. District 7, however, housed many students. Over 70% of the students lived there, making it the largest and most expensive district, where Aleister invested the most effort.

Burning District 2 was like chopping off one of Aleister’s “hands.” Burning District 7, however, was like cutting off his “head.”

Whether Su Xiao had planted a bomb in District 7 was unknown, but Aleister couldn’t take the risk. The accelerator was already dead; a dead man held no value. Aleister pursued Su Xiao only to establish authority.

Now, with his “head” at risk, authority be damned, saving his “head” was paramount. Killing Su Xiao wouldn’t mean much if Accelerator was already dead.

At the edge of District 2, after Su Xiao took out the detonator, all drones halted, the Hound Squad ceased fire, and the dark division members nearby received orders.

All soldiers and superpowered individuals chasing Su Xiao retreated within 30 seconds, and over 90% of the air units moved toward District 7.

Seeing this, Su Xiao dismounted Bubuwang. Having seen the power of [Hades: Flames of the Underworld], it was clear that Aleister had chickened out.

No matter how formidable a boss Aleister was or how great a magician, he would still back down when his vital interests were at stake.
