Chapter 747: Heavenly Nukes
Elysia shared the details regarding her allegations, suspicions, and possible highest-level threats to her pantheon members before anyone else and discussed it briefly with Lady Nirvana privately via the Elysium Channel.
It sparked a bit of anxiety in the other heavenly commanders. Yet, Elysia could only ask them to wait for a moment because she had to confirm her initial guess. She even re-sent her consciousness to check the source origin of the most dangerous entity at the center of the spiraling malicious energy deep in the Corrupted Nirvana Realm's core domain.
And the result was the same. The entity hidden in that place overpowered her spiritual power, but the other party could only repel her without attacking in any way. Apparently, the other party couldn't move from its spot despite her efforts to trigger and taunt it.
Elysia closed the discussion on the Elysium Channel as they had reached a conclusion regarding Lady Nirvana's corrupted shadow clone. She then faced the heavenly agents and commanders to share the information with them. "Everyone, sorry for keeping you waiting. So, this is what we found."
As crucial as it might sound, immediate action was required to be carried out. However, she left it for the other commanders to decide because she couldn't leave far from the Nirvana Barrier's core spot.
The information that came was shocking, but the heavenly agents and commanders took it calmly as if they had nothing to fear.
As debates and discussions broke out between the heavenly agents and commanders about the course of action they had to take, Elysia asked her pantheon members to prepare something for her. 'We need to mass bomb the entire ground when the time comes. Please prepare the mass destruction bombs and suicide squad.'
'Mm, we'll prepare them right away.' Xentia received the command and immediately sent her entire Xenodroid and mech army to the ES Nirvana.
After that, she asked her fellow sisters and Goddesses for help and went to the Nature Realm to prepare their master's order, leaving only five Goddesses by their master's side.
The monster army was also withdrawn to the Helven Realm as they had to wait and recuperate. The next wave of battle might be not for them to participate because the next plan would most likely involve high-power weapons of mass destruction that could wipe out planets and stars.
"Phew..." Elysia heaved a subtle sigh of relief after arranging the plan of her own.
The heavenly agents and commanders could devise strategies to handle the situation in the upcoming wave. The next wave would definitely be much more terrifying on a massive scale than the war in the past two days. However, she also devised a plan to mass bomb the enemy's command if it didn't work out.
As she gazed at the distant sky, the divine storm of clashing heavenly laws and abyssal laws, the sealed domain where He-Dao and his archenemy fought, she couldn't help but pray for his victory.
Although the war situation seemed to be under control with the advantage on their side, the status quo could crumble anytime and she was absolutely sure the current situation would not last long. The next wave could push them into a desperate situation if they did not do something.
Not to mention, the current combatants who could engage in the frontline battle only numbered less than two million immortal warriors.
The two heavenly commanders, half of the heavenly agents, and the heavenly armies stationed in the Heavenly Realm were currently busy cleaning up the escaped corrupted monsters, healing the wounded, and eradicating the rebel forces.
The heavenly demons and their followers of many demonic cultivators from various evil factions took a sudden drastic action to invade the Heavenly Realm in this emergency war situation. At least a quarter of the entire heavenly armies had to be dispatched to eradicate the variables from the backline.
"We should just blow them up in their camp when they gathered such a massive force."
"The question is who is capable of infiltrating deep into the enemy's domain?"
"This is a suicide mission. The heroes will die in honor. If they cannot escape, we can still ensure the soul of the fallen can escape into the afterlife."
"If the hidden boss is as dangerous as Goddess Ely said, then we need Emperor Artifact for this, the one with devastating power that could take down or injure an 18th Rank powerhouse."
"Do we have an Emperor Artifact ready for use?"
The heavenly agents and commanders tried to reach a decision, but the commanders had no item with devastating power that could injure an 18th Rank powerhouse, let alone possess an Emperor Artifact.
They were the supreme leaders of their own faction, but if it was about something to take down an entity at the Heavenly Dao level, they did not dare to admit it even if they did have the means. Unless it was absolutely necessary in their desperate situation, they didn't want to expose their trump cards this early, considering that this Nirvana Great War could last for many years.
Therefore, they glanced at the heavenly agents, especially the leader, the White Agent, Yuna, as if waiting for her to say something.
"A suicide mission, huh... it'll be difficult to infiltrate, especially under this unknown entity's watchful eye. If we launch long-range explosives, the explosion will be neutralized before any reach the target." Yuna crossed her arms as she tried to find a solution as she knew nothing could go past this new unknown entity's eyes while Goddess Ely failed to do so.
She had unknowingly looked to Goddess Ely for enlightenment because this situation was never in her plans and she wished to seek the supreme wisdom.
Elysia glanced at Elena, Ai, and Lifa. They seemed to have a tacit understanding of this decision.
"Just nuke them then. It's time to attack." Elena nodded, confident in her idea.
Elysia nodded in understanding because it should be possible for the heavenly armies to carry it out. Since they would nuke the enemies, they didn't necessarily need to infiltrate deep into the core domain.
"If we can't infiltrate and hide, let's just bombard them with all the bombs we have. It doesn't matter if it can only injure them or just serve as a distraction. We'll slip the Heavenly Palace's super bombs among them to nuke their gathered forces."
"!?"
Elysia's bold answer made the heavenly agents and commanders gasp. It was a frontal assault, so crude and simple, to face the most terrifying scourge in history, but for some reason, they felt it would work somehow.
"..." Yuna pondered about it.
It should work and if not, it could at least reduce the number of corrupted monsters immensely. The Heavenly Palace did possess weapons of mass destruction to wipe out a layer of heaven in one fell swoop, the Heaven Reverse Bombs, but to think they had to launch some of them on the third day of the war...
Since the decision was reached, the mission was carried out without fail. The heavenly armies dispatched twenty thousand special forces and three fleets of high-speed flying ships, armed the suicide troops with annihilator cannons and twenty thousand bombs with massive destructive power, each warrior holding one bomb.
Among them, three were the Heaven Reserve Bombs, the heavenly nukes to raze the enemy domain to the roots with a destructive power equivalent to the attack of the 18th Rank God Emperor.
As the suicide division was dispatched into the enemy's territory through the sky route, Elysia disguised them so the fleet would not be noticed by the enemy too early.
"..." Elysia felt heavy in her heart because she had to send twenty thousand warriors to their deaths. She tried to come up with other solutions, but the vanguard suicide mission couldn't be replaced with her prepared plan.
Xentia's robots and drones could serve as dispensable cannon fodders to carry out the suicide mission, but not as the vanguard. They would only be destroyed before they reached the depths because none were at the immortal level. The bombs would explode before any reached the target because of the intense corruption energy.
The living immortal cultivators with anti-curse mechanisms were the best suited for this vanguard suicide mission, and everyone had agreed to this, including the ones who would carry out the suicide mission as they had prepared to die on the battlefield.
---
As the aggressive offense phase of the Nirvana Great War ensued, the Heavenly Alliance executed their ultimate contingency plan.
Twenty thousand brave warriors were dispatched on a suicide mission. They prepared to die as heroes, but they believed that their sacrifices wouldn't be meaningless as they would fall as legends for many generations ahead. Also, they believed that their path of reincarnation was always open, especially with the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin at their back.
The heavenly nukes, weapons of divine destruction and purification, were detonated deep within the Corrupted Nirvana Realm's core abyssal domain, where the unknown dangerous entity resided amidst the gathering of countless corrupted monsters and eldritch abominations.
