"Holy shit—what happened? A massive explosion?"
"What? What did you say? My ears are ringing so badly I can't hear a thing!"
The explosion was sudden and powerful, but fortunately, Wang Lan's strength was more than enough to handle such an emergency. The Hades Bone Card, flickering with spectral light, had a surprisingly potent suppressive effect on area-of-effect destruction, far exceeding Wang Lan's expectations.
The blast was intense, but casualties were minimal. However, the animals in the Illusion Demon Zoo suffered heavy losses, as the epicenter was deep beneath the zoo's center. Wang Lan could only protect the areas not yet consumed by the explosion; for those already hit, there was nothing he could do.
In a flash, Wang Lan appeared in the crater left by the blast. The acrid stench of burning filled the air as thick smoke slowly dissipated, revealing the scene underground.
