Little Boy and Fat Man

Time passed quickly. Another month went by, and Chen Mu was still tinkering with the manufacture of the Fire-Tipped Spear when Xu Jia approached with a delighted expression.

He had promised Nezha that he would make him a set of equipment that belonged to him, but he had never had much time to do it. Now that he finally had some free time, he planned to use it to make weapons for Nezha.

After returning to Earth with Chen Mu, Nezha had run off somewhere on his own. Previously, he had needed to protect Chen Mu, but now that Chen Mu possessed formidable power himself, he no longer needed protection. Nezha had naturally been set free and spent every day wandering across China.

Experiencing the local customs and culture throughout China.

Speaking of which, although Nezha had possessed complete memories from the moment of his birth and was no different from a real adult, he had only truly existed for a few months. Everything in the world filled him with curiosity.

In particular, Nezha’s nature was filled with affection for China. He needed to personally see the country that had given birth to him, and that made him feel an even stronger sense of belonging there.

Nezha had been created by Chen Mu using the Nezha of Chinese mythology as his template. By now, Nezha himself understood this. After reading the myths about "Nezha," he had rushed back and eagerly demanded that Chen Mu prepare his signature weapons.

The Fire-Tipped Spear, Wind Fire Wheels, and Universe Ring.

The Fire-Tipped Spear was simple. After obtaining the Eternal Flame from Odin’s treasury, Chen Mu had analyzed it. As long as the magical circuit of the Eternal Flame was inscribed onto a weapon, it could summon the Eternal Flame to attack, making it incomparably powerful.

The Wind Fire Wheels were also very simple. They needed flight capabilities, along with the flames of the Eternal Flame, and they would look incredibly cool.

As for the Universe Ring?

That was not difficult either. Chen Mu thought of Doctor Strange’s future cloak, so he paid Ancient One a visit and borrowed it for study.

Thus, creating the Universe Ring was truly no problem.

It had to be said that after grasping the essence of magic, Chen Mu could now employ methods worthy of a Weapon Crafter from a fantasy world.

The existence of magical circuits was similar to the formations of fantasy worlds. Inscribing formations onto magical treasures was not the same as creating one magical treasure after another?

In any case, Nezha’s three-piece set was nearly finished.

"What is it?"

Seeing Xu Jia’s delighted face, Chen Mu could not help asking curiously.

"Japan has sunk."

Xu Jia looked so happy that she seemed ready to burst into song.

"?"

Chen Mu was full of question marks. He had only spent a month in the laboratory, and such exciting news had already arrived?

"The World War over there also ended at this time."

Xu Jia took a deep breath and explained with a smile, "With China’s help, America and the Allies launched their final offensive against the Nazis. America’s Captain Carter, aided by our Qilin Warriors, successfully destroyed every Hydra base. The Nazis then announced their unconditional surrender."

"At the same time, America and Japan had entered the most intense phase of their war."

"America’s general, Curtis LeMay, carried out repeated bombings of Japan over the past month, launching blanket destruction strikes against all its major cities and essentially wiping out Japan’s industrial foundation."

"Japan suffered countless casualties. American bombing alone directly killed at least several million people."

It was a tragic number, but for some reason, Chen Mu did not feel sad.

"Over the past month, our predecessors also reclaimed every bit of wealth that belonged to them from Japan. Furthermore, those predecessors who intervened in the European theater gained sufficient benefits as well."

That brought Wakanda into the discussion.

The World War affected the entire world. It was a major event tied to the survival of all humanity.

How could they remain uninvolved at a time like this?

In any case, through a few minor methods, Wakanda had also been dragged into the quagmire of war during that month.

Although Wakanda was indeed quite powerful and technologically advanced, that was only relative. Before China, which had technological support from the Main World, Wakanda’s technology seemed insignificant, even laughable.

After discovering Wakanda’s strength, the Nazis attempted to use it as their final opportunity, intending to seize its resources and technology. When Wakanda faced the threat of national extinction, China extended a helping hand and drove out the invaders.

But Wakanda was already covered in wounds. Nine out of ten Wakandans had perished, and the survivors could only barely cling to life with China’s aid. Survival itself had become a problem—who still cared about those resources?

Naturally, China gained control over the mining rights to vibranium.

These were methods America commonly used in later generations. The old predecessors had merely borrowed them casually, only to discover that they were truly effective!

That was also why they no longer lacked vibranium.

"Can you tell me in detail how Japan sank?"

Chen Mu was greatly interested. He knew Zheng Xian’s influence had definitely been involved.

"America bombed Japan itself for half a month. Under that overwhelming firepower, everything they had was completely destroyed."

After all, the incendiary bombs were mixed with the Eternal Flame. Japan had no way to extinguish those flames and could only watch helplessly as they grew larger, reducing everything in Japan to ashes.

"The surviving islanders all left the cities to avoid becoming targets of the next wave of strikes."

"At that point, the islanders had already gone mad. They shouted the slogan of one hundred million shattered jewels and vowed to fight America to the end."

It had to be said that their slogans were shouted loudly. Japan had even truly acted that way. Their militarists did not care about the lives of ordinary people, while the crazed civilians no longer cared about their own survival either. The brainwashing had been especially severe.

Of course, they were only shouting. If they were actually asked to do it, those people might not truly be able to follow through.

In any case, America, having reached the limit of its patience, brought out nuclear bombs—two nuclear weapons exchanged from Zheng Xian using the Tesseract.

Two low-yield nuclear weapons.

America named them "Little Boy" and "Fat Man," dropping them on Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively. The most powerful weapons in human history revealed their fangs.

The two nuclear explosions utterly terrified Japan’s militarist government.

Fearlessness in the face of death, one hundred million shattered jewels—those were slogans meant for ordinary people, merely tools used by the ruling class to deceive the public.

Japan’s ruling class feared death more than anyone. After witnessing the power of nuclear bombs, they became afraid. If nuclear weapons fell upon their heads, then no matter how many defensive forces they had, it would all be meaningless. No force could withstand a nuclear explosion.
