The moment the mushroom cloud appeared, an invisible electromagnetic pulse swept outward in all directions.
In a flash, all electronic devices within a several-kilometer radius were destroyed.
The people watching the livestream saw the various camera feeds dissolve into static, flicker twice, and then go completely black.
Only a few cameras, located at an extreme distance, remained active.
However, no one needed the livestream to witness the earth-shattering scene anymore.
Even from hundreds or thousands of kilometers away, people could clearly see a blinding flash of light detonate in the sky.
The light was so dazzling that it momentarily outshone the sun, illuminating the entire sky as if it were day.
The thick cloud cover was no match for this destructive force, torn to shreds by the shockwave.
All who witnessed this scene were struck with terror, their bodies trembling.
They all knew what it meant.
A nuke.
