Chapter 223: Chapter 112: Terminating the Nuclear Explosion, A Single Glance Freezes Everything! (Part 1)

As soon as Alex arrived in this world, he saw a massive mech collapsed on the ground before him, along with four ferocious giant beasts.

He instantly sensed extremely high energy about to erupt right beside him.

Upon clearly seeing the nuclear radiation warning symbol on the box, Alex couldn’t help but frown slightly.

’Did the Reincarnation Space drop me right into the center of a nuclear explosion?’

However, it didn’t matter. To a Gold Saint who had awakened the Eighth Sense, a mere nuclear explosion was as easy to handle as catching a basic attack from an opponent.

If it were any other Gold Saint, they could only choose to flee the area or knock the box away.

But Alex was different. He was the Aquarius Gold Saint, possessing the ability to freeze all atomic movement.

Alex slowly extended a single finger, a trace of ice-blue freezing air lingering at his fingertip.

In the next second, there was no earth-shattering roar, nor any world-destroying shockwave. There was only a halo of white light slowly expanding outward with him at the center.

The ultimate chill of Absolute Zero instantly swept across the entire battlefield!

That violently expanding nuclear device, containing destructive energy, was instantly frozen in mid-air.

The box maintained its ferocious, about-to-burst form. The glowing red heat was still frozen within the cracks of its alloy shell, yet it was firmly locked in place by a layer of ice.

The rolling, scorching air currents in the surroundings transformed into a mist composed of ice crystals. The splattering ionic sparks solidified into tiny ice pellets. Even the corrosive venom dripping from the Kaijus’ mouths turned into transparent ice beads the moment they touched the cold air, producing a crisp clinking sound as they fell to the ground.

The alloy box behind Gipsy, along with the ten nuclear warheads capable of turning Hong Kong into scorched earth, had completely transformed into a massive, crystal-clear ice coffin.

Inside the ice coffin, the trajectory of the churning energy was clearly visible. Like a frozen storm, it presented an extremely eerie, still beauty of destruction.

Lethal cold air seeped from the ice coffin, and visible ice crystal dust drifted in the air, instantly freezing into thin ice upon touching the ground.

Everyone’s expressions were frozen in ultimate shock.

At that moment, time seemed to stagnate.

Henry’s finger was still resting on the button, but the pressing motion had already frozen.

His pupils dilated to their absolute limits, his eyes widening so much they nearly tore. Reflected within them was the terrifying energy core, frozen for eternity, right before his eyes.

His fanatical resolve to die was instantly shattered by the freeze, replaced by unbelievable bewilderment and terror!

It was as if all the blood in his body had also been frozen by this sudden extreme cold. He stared stiffly through the torn hatch at the halted nuclear explosion just inches away.

The muscles on his face twitched stiffly, but he couldn’t produce a single sound. Only a distorted gasp, born of excessive horror, echoed from the depths of his throat.

His heroic resolve, ready to be buried along with the rest of the world just moments ago, was crushed to dust by this miraculous power. All that remained was the most primal sense of insignificance and fear in the face of an incomprehensible, mighty force.

In the command center, Tendo Choi, as the Chief Technology Officer, was frantically pounding on his keyboard just a second ago, calculating the nuclear blast radius and humanity’s remaining survival time.

The jumping red data on the screen stung his eyes with pain.

But in the next second, his brain felt as if it had been struck by an invisible heavy hammer, and all his calculations came to a screeching halt.

He abruptly shot up from the control console, completely oblivious to his knee slamming into the table leg. He threw himself in front of the main monitor, his hands pressing tightly against the edges of the screen, his knuckles turning white from the force.

On the holographic screen, the frozen nuclear core was clearly visible, and the energy readings showed "Zero."

It wasn’t an equipment failure; it had truly been completely frozen.

"No... impossible..."

Tendo Choi’s fingers clawed frantically at the keyboard, attempting to refresh the data, but he was only met with a blinding blue screen of static.

His lips trembled, unable to form even a complete sentence.
