Chapter 260 - Chapter 260: EMP Nuclear Bomb!

"ROAR—!!!"

With a thunder-shaking roar, the Sea Dragon Titan raised its head toward the heavens—

and unleashed it.

A colossal pillar of golden lightning erupted from its maw, tearing through the sky.

Like a divine spear, it pierced the clouds effortlessly—

then spread.

Across the entire planet.

Sizzle—

Wherever the golden current passed,

a chilling sensation crawled up the spines of every living being.

A sharp, numbing pain followed—

as if something invisible had swept through their bodies.

Then—

everything failed.

Phones.

Computers.

Satellites.

Weapons.

Power grids.

One after another, human devices emitted thick black smoke—

or exploded outright.

Within fifteen minutes—

human civilization collapsed.

The world fell into darkness.

A complete blackout.

For the first time since the dawn of the industrial age—

electricity vanished.

Half the Earth was swallowed by night,

save for scattered flames flickering like dying stars.

Panic spread instantly.

People tried to reach out—

to call,

to connect,

to understand—

but nothing worked.

No signals.

No networks.

No systems.

Only silence.

For the first time,

humanity realized—

how fragile it truly was.

Centuries of progress—

erased in minutes.

In the depths of the ocean—

the Sea Dragon Titan let out a furious roar.

"Recharge at the undersea volcanoes—then exterminate humanity!"

Its command echoed through the Titan ranks.

Exhausted, drained of all energy,

the Titans dispersed—

diving toward volcanic trenches to recover.

Meanwhile—

in orbit.

"What happened? Earth just went dark!"

Golden Core Ancestors communicated through divine sense, their expressions grim.

"I saw it—a golden flash. It covered the entire planet… then everything vanished."

"It's the Titans. Their revenge has begun."

A heavy silence followed.

Then—

without hesitation—

they descended.

Earth needed them.

Chaos ruled the surface.

The EMP had not only destroyed machines—

it had severed the very foundation of modern society.

Even knowledge tied to digital storage—

was gone.

Wiped clean.

Yet humanity did not collapse completely.

Because long before this day—

some had prepared.

The farsighted.

The cautious.

They had stored humanity's knowledge—

technology,

genetic archives,

seed banks—

all preserved in space.

A final safeguard.

A second chance.

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows."

Humanity had left itself a way out.

Half a month later—

the Titans returned.

Fully restored.

Humanity had only just begun rebuilding.

Some cities regained basic power.

A few weapons were restored.

But the global industrial system—

was still in ruins.

Factories gone.

Supply chains broken.

Mass production impossible.

What remained—

was handcrafted desperation.

Golden Core Ancestors personally forged weapons—

but quantity and quality were incomparable to the past.

Against Titans—

it wasn't enough.

The second war began.

And this time—

humanity was weaker.

The Titans surged ashore once more,

their colossal bodies unstoppable.

Without large-scale bombardment,

human weapons were little more than scratches.

The battlefield collapsed.

Even with new Golden Core cultivators—

forged from hunting Titans—

it made little difference.

Size.

Mass.

Raw power.

The Titans held the advantage.

Cities fell.

Hundreds of millions died.

Several Golden Core Ancestors—

were devoured.

Humanity retreated.

Again and again.

The coastline—

lost.

Then—

the inland.

But the Titans did not stop.

They advanced relentlessly.

Their goal was clear:

extinction.

With no other choice—

humanity unleashed its final weapon.

"BOOM—!!!"

"BOOM—!!!"

"BOOM—!!!"

Blinding light erupted.

Mushroom clouds rose like suns.

The earth trembled.

The sky burned.

Unprepared—

many Titans were instantly vaporized.

Erased.

Reduced to nothing.

For a moment—

it seemed like hope.

But something changed.

The Titans that survived—

did not fall.

Instead—

they evolved.

Deep within their bloodlines,

something awakened.

A hidden gene.

A dormant power.

Triggered by nuclear fire.

The legacy of the Monster Universe Titans—

had finally taken root.

And what emerged next—

would be far more terrifying than before.
