Limitless The Strongest Revenant-Chapter 877 : I have plot armor [2/2]

[Are you asking about the damage in life and infrastructure of Africa? Or the Global consequences of unleashing such an attack?]

'Both.'

[Do I assume that they all intend to hit a populated city center? Or a remote location?]

'Populated.'

[The immediate explosion from 5,800 simultaneous nuclear detonations would completely vaporize the city. Every building, structure, and piece of infrastructure within a 100-150 mile radius would be obliterated.]

[Within the Core Explosion or within 10 miles, In the aftermath of the initial blasts, firestorms would rage, burning anything that remains and creating a secondary, massive source of heat and destruction up to 100 miles away.]

[Temperatures would reach thousands of degrees Celsius in the immediate vicinity. This zone would have a 100% mortality rate. The Secondary zones or those between 10 and 50 miles are a bit better.]

[They will only have their buildings partly or totally destroyed by the firestorms and have a 50% to 90% mortality rate. The Tertiary Zone would fare the best, they would have buildings still standing albeit on the verge of collapse. Mortality rate between 30% to 60% percent.]

Just hearing Exa list such scary figures was already enough to make me hurl. But she wasn't even saying anything graphic, it was a mundane damage assessment. That scale of power of nukes were just that different.

[Individuals who survive the blasts would be exposed to lethal radiation that leads to acute radiation sickness. They all die within weeks or months, depending on exposure.]

'So, there is no surviving. Can radiation sickness be cured?'

[While ARS patients can survive if they are exposed to less than 3 Gy, 5800 simultaneous detonations would have at the minimum 30 Gy, so no they will all die.]

'Then what about what happens beyond 100 miles?'

It was often a setting in video games and manga. The nuclear wasteland that would end up being created after a nuclear war. There people were horribly deformed, usually severe health issues and no longer lived like humans.

[Due to the sheer magnitude of the explosions, the radioactive fallout would spread across the entire planet. Radiation clouds would enter the atmosphere, covering continents with lethal levels of radiation. These effects would last for years.]

[While 15-30 million people would die in the first few seconds, Including those from the secondary and tertiary zones, casualties could reach 50-70 million or more. Given the effects, billions would die globally, primarily from famine, disease, and nuclear winter effects.]

'Sigh, elaborate on what a nuclear winter is.'

Hearing it in video games was far different from real life. Especially when the girls would really consider nukes as an option. Although I said, I only cared about my girls, it was quite different if I willingly chose to kill everyone myself. At least, I still felt reluctant.

[Nuclear Winter: The sheer scale of the explosions would send massive amounts of soot and debris into the atmosphere, blocking sunlight and triggering a global cooling event. Global temperatures could plummet by 5-10°C over the next few years, with some regions facing temperatures much colder, particularly at high latitudes.]

[With sunlight blocked, global crops would fail, leading to widespread famine. Africa, in particular, would face extreme food shortages as local ecosystems would collapse under the extreme cold and radiation levels.]

[Even countries far from the target city would suffer from contaminated air, water, and food supplies. Massive disruption to the global food chain would occur, and recovery could take decades, if not centuries.]

'That bad huh?'

[Recovery would be impossible for several decades due to the radioactive fallout, climate disruption, and the collapse of infrastructure across the planet. Most of humanity would be pushed to the brink of extinction.]

[Large-scale recovery efforts would be unfeasible due to the global collapse of political, economic, and agricultural systems. The environmental fallout, including radiation levels and disrupted ecosystems, would take centuries to recover from.]

[Urban areas globally would remain uninhabitable for generations. Complete recovery would be impossible within any human lifespan, with significant global and environmental impact lasting for centuries.]

So, it made little difference if we focused all the nukes or spread them out. No matter how much we tried to minimize the radiation, past a certain point, it would all be the same. Once a nuclear winter was triggered, we effectively lose the sun and would die out like flies.

[To put it simply, mankind will go extinct.]

My girls were not stupid. They probably knew all this. But I didn't think any of them cared. To them, losing me was equivalent to death. And they would much rather burn the world than even entertain the risk of me dying.

I gently took Bella into my arms and embraced her. Immediately I felt Bella return to her body. She clung to my arms as she trembled. Maria Chorona began speaking as if to calm herself down.

"Don't worry, Honey. Blanche can be wrong too. We will smoke this bastard, just you see. Who cares what happen to the rest of the world? We can just turn our love ones into Reapers and live in Hellsgate like the Northerners do. We have supplies and everything."

"Bella," I asked sweetly.

"NO! I know what you are going to say! I WONT! I WON'T RISK IT! None of us will! What if he finds us? What if we lose you? No! To hell with them all! So don't bother asking me to stop! All seven of us agreed to this! We don't give a fuck about the world!"

I didn't know went somewhere along the line Bella was no longer speaking English. She was full out shouting in Brazilian Portuguese. Her link was equally chaotic. This was one of those times that being too smart was bad.

Because my girls were intelligent, they knew the implications of everything Blanche said. And because they knew my personality they assumed it would be better to kill my brother before we even came to blows. They adored me a tad too much.

"Bella."

"No! I-I'm scared Honey. What if Blanche is right? What if…"

Not willing to let her stress herself out, I comforted her anxiety. As I licked her lips and sucked on her tongue, Bella noticeably calmed down. It took a while but after about ten seconds my Honey's heart grew a bit more serene.

I gazed into her eyes as I hugged her body close, "Bella, I won't die. I have too much to do and I am the main character, I have plot armor," I joked.

"Pfft!"

A loud chuckle came from another of my girls. When I turned, I noticed Jo trying to suppress her laughter. Aki similarly had an amused face. Amari and Mia on the other hand had "What the fuck?" and "Are you fucking serious" faces.

Robyn was the only one who ignored my joke. She was busy crouching over the ground and seemed to have beaten Pierre to a pulp. My Kitten then stood up and wiped the sweat off her face. I saw the glow of {Heal} tablets so Pierre should be fine.

With everyone present waiting for my next words I continued my trail of thought.

"It's okay, just treat it as an event. We are still not strong enough, so we will do complete our objective and duck out. I won't pick a fight and will do all I can to evade him so your girls should calm down okay. I won't die."

"Hmm, to be honest I didn't think you would run Darling. After all you fight even Revenants and Archdemons, without escaping. You aren't trying to pull a fast one, are you?" Jo asked with a conniving smile.

"Nothing much Darling. It's just that even in games, it is normal to run from the end game bosses. As we are now, we are still only at the middle game. I don't mind running to fight another day. While I am what I am, I am not stupid."

"Anata, so you mean to say that you recognize that you must stand down only for this moment. And that you intend to get even with him in the future?"

I nodded at Aki's question,

"Of course. He wins this round. But the next time we meet, I will fucking bury him."

My words had no hint of lies of deceit. The first to know this were of course the girls linked to me. Thus, they all calmed down somewhat. Just like Blanche said I need time to grow. And by the time I did, I would come after this bastard and end him.
