Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength-Chapter 1318 - 1312: Environment Management Department

"Actively attacking such official government departments, truly is a rare experience!"

Looking at the building in front of her, somewhat similar to Councilor Darman's treehouse.

Catherine walked forward with a smile tinged with anger, powerful waves of Magic Power began to surge from her body.

As this was the final phase, they didn't need to use domain spells to conceal their presence. So Catherine didn't chant the same incantation as before, instead, she used a spell for enhancing attack:

"Two minutes before Joseph Schwartz vanished forever from the Earth he knew, he was strolling on the delightful streets of Chicago, silently reciting Browning's verses in his mind!"

——It's nuclear energy!

Ronald was startled.

Just hearing the incantation, he recognized this was the spell Catherine used against the Fire Element Demigod that day.

A spell driven by nuclear energy, not only filled with unparalleled destructive power, even inherited the high-risk characteristic of nuclear radiation, making it an undoubtedly excellent choice in combat.

But the problem was——this was Hamorno!

In a densely populated city, using such a non-discriminate and widespread harmful spell…

If Catherine truly swung down this sword.

Not to mention the potential for countless casualties, or this city becoming uninhabitable henceforth.

In the worst-case scenario.

Even the entire forest where Hamorno is located might become a significantly dangerous life-restricted zone!

"Catherine, wait!"

Ronald quickly stepped forward, directly blocking Catherine's path.

"That spell of yours will severely damage the environment, are you sure it's okay to use it here?"

Initially halted by Ronald, the expression on Catherine's face was quite puzzled. But upon hearing his warning, she turned back with a reassuring smile:

"Ronald, rest assured, I know the limits."

"Actually, this spell that mobilizes nuclear energy has two modes, one of which causes weaker damage but results in large-scale radiation hazards; the other has no radiation hazard but is much stronger in pure destructive capability."

"And what I'm using now is the second mode!"

Oh my goodness…

This spell can casually choose between the effects of fusion and fission?

Hearing Catherine's explanation, Ronald naturally had no reason to stop her, so he decisively stepped aside.

"Hmm hmm——"

Catherine smiled faintly.

Then she didn't enter the building, but instead raised the Saint Catherine Sword high above her head, presenting a vertical slashing posture.

"The ones ruining my dinner—come out now!"

Swish——

In the next second, the sword blade slashed straight down in front of Catherine.

Intense light spewed forth from the blade, forming a giant curtain in the shape of an ax blade, splitting the towering trees in front right down the center.

Boom!

Within seconds, the Hamorno government office building was completely destroyed under Catherine's sword.

The divided building slowly tilted to the sides, with the already completely carbonized trees still burning with relentless heat, the air filled with a hellish fiery scene.

"..."

At this time, Ronald turned his sight towards it.

After confirming the state of this ruin, he couldn't help but praise Catherine's capabilities.

——The control of the spell was too precise.

Catherine's slash seemed brutal and unfettered, but in reality, every spot where the Firelight fell was precisely controlled.

The ordinary staff in the Environment Management Department were unharmed under her slash, at most just getting a few bumps as the trees tilted.

In contrast, the situation wasn't as good for the true nucleus creatures.

Of the fifteen parasitized creatures, a full seven were directly cut down by this sword, burned to ashes. Of the remaining eight, five suffered varying degrees of serious injuries, with only three managing to emerge from the ruins unharmed.

Yet these creatures showed considerable team spirit.

The three in good condition twisted the necks of their severely injured but still alive companions. With a single 'snap', the parasitic true nucleus creatures flowed out like liquid, then sought refuge in the three intact bodies.

Thus, fifteen parasitized creatures were distilled into the final essence of these three.

"..."

"What's this? Are you not planning to flee?"

Leaning on the Saint Catherine Sword, Catherine spoke with interest as she watched the scene in front of her.

As she observed the movements of the three true nucleus creatures, it was akin to a predator brazenly invading its prey. The information revealed by her gaze and demeanor was unmistakably clear—she was one hundred percent certain they wouldn't escape!

This time, the three true nucleus creatures crawling from the fiery scene couldn't help but turn their gaze this way.

After all, Catherine was the only person in the scene, exuding such a powerful Magic Fluctuation. Without needing to utter any lines, it was evident that she was the initiator of the attack.

However, the true nucleus creatures didn't fixate their gaze on the Astrology Tower Master for long. For they noticed Ronald behind Catherine, and immediately recognized his identity!

"How could he possibly appear here?"

"This guy should be on the [Grade] ship, nearly half a planet's distance from Hamorno!"

"Is someone impersonating him?"

"Not sure. The spells of this world are incredibly miraculous, there might be aspects we completely don't understand."

The true nucleus creatures ignored Catherine's mockery.

Their communication and information exchange seemed as if they were survivors confident in escaping here rather than being victims barely escaping with their lives.

——This is odd!

Further back, Ronald took these invasive creatures very seriously.

So upon discovering their abnormal actions, he immediately began chanting the incantation from Capitalism:

"The wealth of societies dominated by the capitalist mode of production appears as 'an immense collection of commodities,' and the single commodity is its elementary form. Therefore, our investigation must begin with the analysis of commodities…"

The spell activated, and Ronald indeed gained some insight.

Through the channel of value accumulation, he discovered these three true nucleus creatures were secretly brewing some special spell!

"Catherine, they might be preparing a spell to transmit information!"

Ronald reminded while preparing to take action to stop them.

But at this moment, Catherine, already present among the true nucleus creatures, evidently moved faster.

Her expression instantly shifted from mocking to rage.

Then, gripping the Saint Catherine Sword with one hand, she swiftly approached the three true nucleus creatures.

In the next second, the Astrology Tower Master swung her sword down.
