What kind of power do weapons in modern warfare have?
Although most people living in the 21st century have not personally experienced or seen weapons that were originally designed to kill lives and destroy buildings.
However, in the era of information explosion, the knowledge and information obtained from various channels, coupled with their own imagination caused by unfamiliarity, have created the vast majority of people's understanding of modern thermal weapons.
It must be some kind of violence that can cause great damage and shatter everything that humans value.
But if you think about it in practice, how do modern weapons kill humans?
Biochemical weapons that make many people talk about it may have the potential to destroy an entire country or even all mankind, but they have not been used on a large scale because they are difficult to achieve visible results in a short period of time in actual "conflict battles" and are difficult to control. used as weapons.
Chemical gas kills by directly attacking the human body with chemicals. Cloud bombs kill by burning on a large scale in a short period of time to deplete the surrounding oxygen and suffocate people. Napalm bombs directly stick combustible materials to the target. Make the flame burn for a long time to kill.
As for the notorious white phosphorus bomb, it combines the above "advantages". It can not only attack the human body through toxic smoke, but also suffocate people through high temperature. It can also become a "maggot attached to the bone" that is more difficult to deal with than napalm. ".
However, put aside the unconventional weapons that have emerged due to scientific progress and return to the more commonly used guns and bombs.
The so-called bullets are just arrows that can move faster and have greater lethality.
And the so-called arrows are just stones that can hit the ground more accurately and have greater lethality.
From bullets with a caliber of a few millimeters to cannonballs with a caliber over 800 millimeters and weighing several tons, humans do not seem to have fundamentally departed from the stone-throwing skills that apes have mastered since millions of years ago.
Even the explosion caused by explosives is essentially expected to use the shrapnel and compressed air itself as "stones" to kill the enemy.
So, if a giant dragon with hundreds of heads is shot out at a speed that can fly out of the earth, can it also be regarded as a "stone"?
The answer may be yes.
In order to make their stones cause more damage, humans smashed sharp stone flakes as throwing objects.
In order to allow the sharp stone fragments to fly farther, the arrow shaft and tail feathers were added, and a bow string was used to store power.
In order to make the arrows fly faster and more accurately, humans removed the arrow shafts, used gunpowder, added rifling, and designed the front ends of bullets and cannonballs to be more streamlined for flight.
All of this is to make the weapons in his hands more powerful and deadly to kill the enemy.
The use of tools and wisdom has indeed made human beings more powerful.
But in other words, all of this is unnecessary.
If you have enough strength and skill, it doesn't matter even if the stone is not sharp, it doesn't matter even if the stone has no tail feathers, it doesn't matter even if the stone is thrown by hand, it doesn't matter if there is no rifling or streamlined tip.
Even if it's not a stone, it doesn't matter.
Everything humans do is to make the energy that ultimately falls on the enemy more powerful.
So humans tried every means to reduce the energy loss when the "stones" were shot, and also used gunpowder or electricity to increase the energy of the "stones" when they were shot.
But for a truly powerful being, one only needs to have enough power.
Even if the power utilization rate is less than 1%, the energy output with a base number of "1000" is still far greater than "1" with a 100% utilization rate.
The hundred-headed dragon and the Caucasian condor, which was glowing with metallic light, collided in the blink of an eye.
It was a power that was indescribable in any words.
It was a powerful attack that would still be unmatched by human cannons even if they were developed for hundreds of thousands of years.
Due to the high-speed flight, the air at the front of the hundred-headed dragon was compressed to an unimaginably high density, while the air behind it formed a vacuum that was exactly the opposite.
Together with the kinetic energy of its own flight and the kinetic energy of the compressed air around it, after the collision with the condor in the Caucasus, the fire caused by friction with the air expanded to an indescribable range in an instant.
Even though there was no combustible material, a big explosion broke out in an instant between the collision of the hundred-headed dragon and the Caucasian condor.
What followed was a shock wave that exploded as the air was compressed and spread to all directions.
The huge wind, which was more violent than a typhoon of magnitude 10, first hit the small boat on which Animusfia and others were riding.
"Senior————, please be careful!"
Although Matthew, who had long been prepared to prevent the impact, stood at the front of the boat in an orderly manner and blocked the oncoming storm, she never expected that the first wave of attacks would come in such a situation. in front of myself.
However, now is not the time to relax, and the sea level begins to rise violently, indicating the arrival of the second wave of impact.
"Ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Under the violent jolts of the boat, Apollo, who was just a little boy, was easily blown away.
"Hello--"
Jason wanted to reach out to catch Apollo who was knocked away, but Jason, whose fingertips had already touched him, did not catch the boy.
Then the sinking sea surface and the sinking boat made the distance between Jason and Apollo even further.
"Woof!"
Fortunately, the leaping kobold caught Apollo in mid-air with great accuracy, and landed smoothly on the small boat that was still rising and falling in the waves.
Different from the air that only has one wave of impact, the impact in the ocean is more complicated, and there will be multiple aftermath waves until the sea surface returns to calm.
Huge waves about several meters high hit the boat again.
Under such waves, even if Apollo's black-tech boat had excellent performance, it would surely capsize.
However, Animusfia, who was concentrating on controlling the resurrected Hydra under the shock wave, had no time to deal with this wave.
"Mercury!"
Ritsuka, who was held tightly in Animusfia's arms and fixed on the boat, tried to repeat the previous operation when avoiding Hydra and let the boat float in the air.
Unfortunately, the huge wave crashing down like a tall building was already right in front of us.
The sea water is also mixed with a large amount of Hydra's poisonous blood. Not to mention swimming in the sea after capsizing, just getting wet will bring extremely serious consequences.
"Damn it...it's too late..."
Looking at the huge waves so close, Animusfia gritted her teeth, and then said loudly to Artoria Alt:
"Saber, please!"
Arturia, who understood the simple words, nodded, jumped off the boat without hesitation and came to the top of Hydra's head.
At the same time, the Spear of Ouranos in Animusfia's hand extended out, and the dark magic beam wrapped around Hydra dissipated the moment Artoria jumped onto Hydra.
What replaced it was the light from under the collar that Animusfia failed to untie in time and the faint smell of burnt flesh.
Although transforming one's own skin into a magic circuit can greatly and effectively increase the output of magic power, if it is used directly like this without opening the clothes, Animusfia herself will not feel the effects of the flow of magic power. pressure, but the clothes covering him didn't think so.
The cloth activated by the magic power flowing in large amounts at high speeds burned almost instantly.
Thanks to Animusfia, she was now a pseudo-servant, so she didn't need to worry about anything except the pain.
Animusfia also used magic at this moment to untie Hydra's bonds.
"Neptune!"
Shouting the name of the sea god in Roman mythology, dark blue light was released from the Spear of Uranus in Animusfia's hand, and shot into the wave that was about to fall in front of them.
The deep blue light that shot into it seemed to be alive, like the root system of a tree, rapidly expanding and spreading throughout the wave, reflecting faint blue shimmers through the sea water.
The wave that was tumbling and raging a moment ago was solidified as if some kind of chemical reaction had occurred, and slowly stagnated in place like thick jelly.
As the waves stagnated, what appeared in front of the people of Chaldea was a completely stagnant sea surface and Animusfia, who was breathing heavily and continuing to deliver magic power from the Spear of Uranus.
The hundred-headed dragon and the Caucasus condor that collided should be praised as worthy of being the offspring of the Titans. Even though they fell powerlessly onto the sea, they still had a faint breath left.
Artoria also subdued Hydra again in the gap created by Animusfia.
It has to be said that after losing the other heads, at least for Artoria, Hydra is not a difficult enemy as long as she pays attention to its deadly venom.
"That...is Radon who guards the golden apples, right?"
Jason looked in disbelief at the hundred-headed dragon that had fallen and collapsed on the sea.
Although there are hundreds of heads, each of Ladon's heads is as weak as cooked pasta.
It is not an exaggeration to say that all the bones in the body were shattered.
"There should be no other possibility. If you want to confirm, do it as soon as possible. I won't be able to hold on for long."
Animusfia said angrily.
Just when Matthew was about to step forward to find out, three arrows shot from a distance penetrated the air without any bias, leaving a loud noise and hitting the head of the Caucasian condor and Radon's heart.
The two monsters that were struggling to breathe a second ago were completely breathless under this attack.
————————As for the third arrow, it was chopped down with difficulty by Artoria who stood on Hydra’s head.
After Jason saw these arrows, his legs began to tremble unsatisfactorily.
If he had just doubted before about who could throw a monster like the hundred-headed dragon Radon as a cannonball.
Now it is 100% certain.
Arturia narrowed her golden eyes and looked at the tall shadow rising slowly above the sea level in the distance.
