The searing fireball from the tactical nuclear weapon's explosion instantly engulfed the entire ruin and everyone present.
Whether it was the kingpins of the Columbia Medellin Group or the Purifiers from the Purification Society's South American Branch, they didn't even have time to react before being instantly vaporized by the blistering heat at the explosion's epicenter, leaving nothing behind.
The stone statues, which had been piled in the ruins and already mostly burned, were also instantly destroyed and vaporized. Not a single trace of the Stone Statue Virus or anything like it remained.
It was simply the swiftest and most convenient method of disinfection.
Although it was a low-yield tactical nuclear weapon of only 50 kilotons, it was still a nuke, and its power was nothing to scoff at. The entire mountaintop was razed to the ground by the explosion, leaving behind a massive crater.
