Chapter 345: Blockade of Wyoming

Present life, Wyoming.

Reporter Janet Clare’s screams mixed with the sound of volcanic ash hitting the bulletproof glass on the plane, “The magma is advancing at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, and the entire pine forest behind us is burning!” As the camera shook violently, the audience saw huge orange-red waves rising on the horizon, like the heavenly fire that destroyed Sodom in the Bible.

All radio channels repeated the Geological Survey’s warning: “The volcanic ash cloud will cover the entire Northern Hemisphere within 72 hours.”

In the underground command center of the Pentagon, twenty-four monitoring screens were showing the countdown to the end of the world. Geologist Howard stared at the expanding red patch in the thermal image, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground: “Damn it! The diameter of the Yellowstone breach has exceeded 15 kilometers!”

Admiral Crawford had no interest in watching the hellish scene. He shouted angrily for everyone to pay attention to the dragon: “Where is the dragon?!”

An intelligence officer said cautiously: “The dragon entered the interior of the Yellowstone volcano a minute ago and has not appeared since.”

Crawford’s face was gloomy, and his high hooked nose pointed at the intelligence officer like a sharp blade: “Then you keep investigating! Damn idiot, the volcano erupted like this, it must be the dragon’s fault!”

Howard sneered weakly: “It’s obviously your nuclear weapons–“

“I advise you to be careful with your words, sir!” Crawford interrupted him sharply.

At this time, the intelligence officer’s excited voice rang out: “1000 feet above the Yellowstone Volcano! A giant dragon has appeared!”

Nemesis folded his wings and hovered at an altitude of 5,000 meters, his orange vertical pupils reflecting the boiling earth below. The volcanic ash cloud rolled like an inverted black ocean under his feet, and hundreds of millions of tons of magma were rushing out along the Yellowstone breach. The 700-ton silver body suddenly turned into a meteor like a bright moon, diving at supersonic speed across the state border, leaving a dazzling plasma trail.

He had just come out of the library and did not intend to go directly to the reverse world. He did not intend to watch the volcanic ash spread and destroy the entire earth, so he had to deal with it here first.

But Wyoming… let the destruction of an entire state teach these stupid Americans a lesson.

“tasyā Pathā Viparyayam Nashyatu——”

The dragon language spell tore the atmosphere apart, and the ring-shaped clouds produced by the sonic boom when Nemesis was on his way exploded one after another over the Rocky Mountains. Every time the shock wave swept across the ground, glowing runes up to 30 meters deep would emerge from the basalt – that was the imprisonment spell written with dragon blood as ink and earthquake as pen.

“What is he doing?!” Crawford asked anxiously as he looked at the rapidly flying dragon on the radar.

The intelligence officer stuttered, “According to the on-site footage, the dragon seems to be flying along the Wyoming border. It stops every 5000 feet and leaves behind unknown text patterns.”

That’s right, Nemesis was carving a rune array that covered the entire state of Wyoming.

This level of ritual array, logically speaking, cannot be completed by a single spellcaster in one day. The entire Wyoming border is 16 kilometers long. Even if hundreds of level mages were to engrave the array at the same time, they would have to drain their mana and still not be able to complete it!
But Nemesis was different at this time. The power of his mind had already increased his magic power tenfold, and the high-dimensional nature of his soul made his three-dimensional spirit, a property that affected his magic affinity, explode.

At this time, Nemesis’s magic power alone is enough to match that of an entire kingdom’s army of mages.

Thanks to his enormous magic power at this time, it was enough to support him to cover this protective magic circle with a huge area of ​​300 kilometers in radius centered on Wyoming.

Not only that, performing the final ritual spell through power amplification will greatly strengthen this protective spell, eventually turning it into a 360-degree protective shield that completely isolates Wyoming.

Whether it was an earthquake, lava, or volcanic ash, none of these things could escape the scope of ritual magic. The only ones who would suffer would be the ordinary people who were still alive in the entire state of Wyoming, who would be burned alive in an airtight coffin. The silver-winged dragon flew across the sky like a meteor, and every time it landed on the ground, it dropped a large amount of magic gems, which made Nemesis very distressed at this time. According to his estimation, to complete such a huge ritual spell, it would probably take at least 3 tons of magic gems.

This accounted for almost half of his output from the magical mine on the Maztec continent.

Fortunately, during this period of time he has been insisting on using the limited wish technique every day to double his magic gems out of nothing, which has greatly reduced his pressure.

As he flew across southern Wyoming, the CBS helicopter was jolted violently by the magical turbulence he created, and the cameraman held on tightly to the camera. In the picture, the dragon was performing a miracle on the Wyoming border: when it passed Pikes Peak for the seventh time, the mountain suddenly burst into emerald light, and the ridges of the melting snow emerged with mysterious runes woven by lightning.

“Oh my god, it’s modifying the continental plates!” The frantic geologist in the CNN studio tore off his tie and pointed at the earthquake monitor that suddenly calmed down. In front of 23 million TV sets across the United States, housewives clutched crosses, children lay in front of the screen, and veterans saluted with trembling hands – everyone watched the dragon use its tail tip to draw a golden dividing line on the lava river, and the boiling magma began to flow back as if blocked by an invisible dam.

“Nakatrāā Netā aha Asmi!”

As the spell ended, Nemesis’ scales were peeling off under the pressure of the rapidly expanding magic power. The space-time rifts caused by the space jump tore his body, but the scroll dragon continued to flash between the twelve earth vein nodes. When the last rune lit up outside Wyoming, a translucent magic sky suddenly appeared on the surface of the entire Wyoming. The volcanic ash hit the barrier and stirred up purple ripples. Tens of thousands of dragon language words flowed on the surface of the light film, like a seal written by God himself.

“This is the devil’s deal!” In the Pentagon, Crawford couldn’t accept the fact that the dragon had become the hero who saved them, and screamed at the satellite image. But the crowd on the street had already knelt on the ground, watching the sky gradually clear up in the news, and the magma condensed into dark red amber in the center of the magic circle. The TVs in the store windows suddenly jumped to the screen, and Nemesis’s scarred dragon body appeared on the screen.

The doomsday volcanic ash that filled the sky was like a black abyss burning the sky. Golden blood was sown on the silver dragon’s body, and the scales on its body were torn off by the energy because of the manipulation of a huge amount of magic power at one time.

Like Jesus in ancient mythology, he used his body to exchange for the hope of human survival.

At some point, a ray of sunlight from the sky penetrated the dense volcanic ash, and the beam of light shone on the silver dragon. The broken body was fixed in everyone’s mind with a sacred meaning.

It is truly extraordinary and is the messenger of salvation for Americans.

The American people in front of the TV had tears in their eyes and prayed devoutly.

At this moment, Nemesis, who was putting on a show, tried to suppress his laughter while looking at the helicopter filming him. That’s right, he wanted these stupid mortals to worship him as a god, so that those idiots wouldn’t bother him all the time.

Not only that, he also used magic to record the scene of the US military releasing nuclear weapons that caused the Yellowstone Park explosion, and he wanted Dr. Brenner to expose it.

By then, these Americans will soon know that the U.S. military is an evil and ambitious person who caused the world-destroying disaster.

And he was just a good dragon who broke into this place innocently and helped because he couldn’t bear to see the destruction of the United States.

Thinking of this, Nemesis couldn’t help but want to laugh out loud.

He waved at the helicopter in front of him. In recognition of the fact that the helicopter had taken a memorable shot for him, Nemesis reminded him, “The seal is about to be activated. If you don’t want to stay here and wait for death, leave now.”

The reporter on the helicopter was stunned for a moment, and the next moment seemed to realize something, and immediately ordered the pilot to move away.
