Chapter 695 - 443: Giving Earth a Middle Part_2
Most of the light is scattered within the clouds, forming white clouds.
But what if the tiny droplets within the clouds keep increasing and growing denser?
This would prevent light from passing through, giving the clouds a dark appearance, commonly referred to as cumulonimbus clouds. This absorption is known as "Rayleigh scattering."
If the droplets in the cumulonimbus clouds continue to increase, becoming denser and heavier, they will start to fall, resulting in the familiar weather phenomenon, rain.
The clouds in the sky, driven and compressed by the shock waves, continuously merged.
In just a few seconds, they turned into an alarming dark cloud.
Moments later, torrential rain poured down, creating an unprecedented massive rainfall over the entire sea area.
The raindrops fell on the sea surface like torrents, and also on Wang Ye.
From a macro perspective, if you look down on Earth, you’ll see the clouds once covering a corner of Earth forcibly torn apart, presenting two increasingly distant rays.
Perfectly recreating the scene from "One-Punch Man" where Saitama divides Earth into two halves.
This earth-shattering shock wave spread tens of kilometers away before gradually dissipating.
At that moment, the scientists and officers constantly monitoring the low-orbit satellite images were
utterly shocked.
What kind of power is this?
The power of this punch rivals that of a nuclear bomb, doesn’t it?
They even felt that the shock wave reached the satellite’s position after Wang Ye punched,
causing a slight tremor in their images.
No wonder Wang Ye chose to punch at Nemo Point.
If this punch were unleashed in a city, it might directly cause an unprecedented catastrophe, with more terrifying casualties than an eighth-grade earthquake.
After a long silence, they stammered,
"This guy... what on earth is going on?"
"How can his strength be so overwhelming?"
"With such an effective range of the impact... how high is the energy density in his body, and what is his body made of?"
"And most importantly, what lies hidden at the deepest point of the Mariana Trench?"
Even the usually calm Matthew was affected by this punch, with only fear and excitement remaining on his face.
He reevaluated Wang Ye’s current body strength based on the destructive power of that punch.
The shock wave from Wang Ye’s punch spread out hundreds of kilometers, tearing through clouds and ocean.
It surpassed modern nuclear weapons.
Bear in mind the strongest hydrogen bomb today, like the Tsar Bomba, has an effective destructive radius of only fifty to a hundred kilometers, with an explosive yield of about five million tons of TNT.
Which means Wang Ye’s punch had a shock wave range comparable to a hydrogen bomb, but with more focused energy release, spreading in just one direction. He estimated the kinetic energy equivalent of Wang Ye’s punch to be between several million to ten million tons of TNT.
What kind of body can conceal such terrifying kinetic power...
Surely, normal biological metabolism through evolution could not support such kinetic power.
With current human technology, Matthew can only temporarily speculate that there might be a miniature nuclear fusion reactor in Wang Ye’s body. Moreover, after delivering the punch, Wang Ye’s body showed no significant damage, though it might be that the satellite’s resolution was too low to observe any injuries on Wang Ye.
But ultimately, the fact that Wang Ye’s bones were not largely crushed or broken already indicates that his body’s material strength and density surpass any material on Earth.
Including carbon acetylene.
Without any protective measures, even the hardest artificial material, carbon acetylene, would be completely pulverized under such pressure.
Matthew pondered continuously, but he could not analyze even a shadow of Wang Ye’s body data.
The surrounding scientists also discussed Wang Ye’s body, reaching conclusions similar to Matthew’s.
With the combined knowledge and wisdom of all these scientists, they couldn’t deduce even a bit of Wang Ye’s secrets.
This group of scientists grew increasingly curious, eager to unravel the mysteries within Wang Ye, curious about the deepest scenery of the Mariana Trench, and curious about the relationship between the Megalodon and Wang Ye.
If they could solve these mysteries, the level of human civilization might raise several more tiers.
Unlike the scientists, the scene was different among the officers.
After witnessing Wang Ye’s earth-shattering punch, all high-ranking officers were filled with worry. Faced with such overwhelming personal power, their previous confidence and arrogance in their military might was consumed by a profound sense of powerlessness.
They couldn’t imagine what kind of weapon could kill such a monster.
If Wang Ye were larger, they might have had a chance with enough nuclear stockpile. However, Wang Ye is so small and can easily surpass Mach 20 speed.
To say the least, by the time they prepared a nuke, Wang Ye would have flown several laps around the Earth, how could they even aim at him?
Is "submission" the only path left for them?

At Nemo Point at this moment.
After Wang Ye delivered that punch, all the energy in his body was depleted.
Even the newly evolved high-elastic muscle fibers and carbon acetylene bones showed slight stress fractures under the previous pressure.
It’s important to note that carbon acetylene is only forty times harder than diamond, not indestructible. The high-elastic muscle fibers have only been structurally improved; the basic component is still protein. So under excessive pressure, they will still break—this is inevitable.
However, their inherent toughness and hardness are so exceptional that, according to Wang Ye’s estimate, he would need to evolve for several more months, and after implanting nuclear fusion organs, he would barely reach the limits of these two body tissues.
Yet, under the protection of the Biological Force Field, the fact that mere one punch could cause such cracks in these materials suggests that punch was already at his limits.
"I didn’t expect the punch to be this powerful." Wang Ye’s eyes were not filled with disappointment, but rather with joy.
On land, due to the constant need to restrain his power to avoid affecting nearby human cities,
he could never utilize his body’s full potential without holding back.
So he often felt a bit constrained, like Superman in movies restrained by human laws.
But the full-force release at Nemo Point allowed him to rediscover the feeling of challenging his body’s limits. It’s undeniable that this sensation is indeed addictive to him.
Wang Ye briefly recovered, then prepared to continue testing the Shattering Sky Lion’s Roar.
Honestly, this test is what he’s most looking forward to.
Because from recent tests, Wang Ye discovered that the distance sound travels is significantly farther than the distance of the shock waves from his punches. Although the power might not be greater than punching, its advantage is in its wide range and ability to attack any target in a 360-degree radius indiscriminately.
Moreover, since the Shattering Sky Lion’s Roar only uses a single muscle group for the burst, the overall energy consumption is less than punching, meaning it’s easier to trigger potential limits.
Back when his diaphragm muscle hadn’t evolved into high-elastic muscle fibers, the shock waves from the Shattering Sky Lion’s Roar alone could bring down planes flying at altitudes of ten thousand meters. Now, with the diaphragm muscle having evolved into high-elastic muscle fibers, the power and distance might increase by dozens of times or more.
That’s why Wang Ye is very much looking forward to seeing how potent the Lion’s Roar, unleashed at full strength at Nemo Point, can be.
