Chapter 274: Boom!

Chapter 274 – Boom!

It was a rapidly expanding, colorful sphere of light. Like a miniature sun, it instantly illuminated the dark eastern hemisphere.

The light particles that exploded under high pressure instantly crossed through dozens of thousands of kilometers and pierced into the Earth’s atmosphere. And when they came into “friction” with the atmosphere, they created a greenish, narrow aurora that occupied half of the eastern hemisphere’s sky!

The colorful sun…

The blue sky…

The green aurora…

Inky clouds…

The land with shimmering shadows…

These things echoed and overlapped with each other to produce an array of mesmerizing colors.

Even words couldn’t describe the beauty of this scene…

“Huh?! What’s that?!”

“A UFO?!”

“Heavens…”

The crowd in the plaza before Chen Yu immediately had their attention grabbed by this abnormal situation. Hurriedly, they looked up into the sky and panicked. Some timid people even ran into the nearby buildings to seek cover. Suddenly, chaos enveloped the entire plaza.

[Crap!]

[Crap!]

[Crap!]

[Crap! The sky brightened!]

[Crap…]

[I can finally see one of UP’s product reviews with my own eyes. How beautiful…]

[I’m in tears.]

[Explosions are art!]

[This is going to make headlines all over the world tomorrow.]

[The circle’s expansion speed is equivalent to the speed of light! Isn’t that amazing?!]

[The most expensive firework in history…]

[Year Beast: What kind of enmity do I have with you people?]

The sphere of light rapidly expanded and enveloped Earth entirely. The dark skies covering the eastern hemisphere also vanished, and the sky became as bright as day. To be precise, the sky was painted in a rainbow of colors.

None of the livestream’s viewers had expected that an antimatter bomb detonated outside Earth’s atmosphere would create such a mind-blowing scene.

At this time, Asia’s two billion-plus population stared at the “colorful” skies in shock and horror. Even those that were asleep had woken up to witness this amazing sight.

Meanwhile, the ones that reacted to this scene the quickest were undoubtedly those working in the media industry. Many people worked overtime to take photos and write scripts in preparation to announce this spectacular sight to the world.

…

Jinzhou City, Chen abode’s living room:

“Wow…”

Chen Sanke’s eyes glittered as she looked at the diffusion of colorful lights in the sky. “So, these are fireworks? How beautiful…”

Reaching out with her tender white hands, Chen Sanke tried to catch the strands of light shining on her body. Naturally, she didn’t catch anything.

“Second Sis! Come look!” Chen Sanke hurriedly ran to the sofa and nudged the sleeping Chen Erke. “Look at the fireworks! They’re so beautiful!”

“Uh?” Chen Erke pulled her blanket over her face while muttering, “It’s morning already?”

Bang!

The master bedroom’s door abruptly opened, and Father Chen and Mother Chen came running out of the room in a panic. Mother Chen then picked up Chen Sanke while Father Chen ran to the window. “W-What’s happening? Is it the end of the world?”

At this time, Chen Yike also hurriedly ran out of her room and looked out the window, her face turning pale at the sight she saw.

“E-Eldest, go online and see what’s going on.”

“O-Okay!” Chen Yike hurriedly nodded. She then took out her mobile phone, opened up her web browser, and soon found the headline released on the government’s official news portal. “I-It seems that two asteroids collided with each other…”

“Is there any danger?” Mother Chen asked worriedly. “Will they hit us?”

“Let me see…” Chen Yike hurriedly scrolled through the page. After reading plenty of crucial information, she breathed out a sigh of relief and said, “The professionals say they won’t. The asteroids are very far from us. They even published a reminder about this during the Spring Festival Gala. We just didn’t pay attention to it.”

“Ah.” Father Chen, who was leaning against the window, reacted in realization. “So, this is the firework Chen Yu mentioned? He saw the announcement? How attentive of him.”

“It’s good if there isn’t any danger.” Mother Chen relaxed. She then sat on the sofa and looked out the window. “It really is pretty, though. And here I thought a nearby factory exploded.”

“Will there be such beautiful fireworks in the future as well?” Chen Sanke asked, tilting her head.

“That’s not a firework,” Chen Yike corrected. “That’s a collision between two asteroids. Your brother tricked you.”

“Asteroids? What are asteroids?”

“Stars in the sky.”

“There will be beautiful fireworks if stars collide?” Chen Sanke’s eyes glowed brightly. For the first time in her life, a small flame of curiosity toward astronomy was born in her small head…

…

“Well?” Standing atop a tall building in Beijing, Chen Yu took a step back and pointed at the endlessly overlapping lights in the sky. “Beautiful, right? The only unfortunate part is that we can’t hear the explosion. Otherwise, this firework will be perfect.”

After saying so, Chen Yu retracted his hand and tapped on the other glass casing inside the red box. “The firework seems like it’ll continue for some time, so I won’t be using this other capsule. I’ll save it as a present for any naughty children.”

[Are you a demon?]

[I suspect you are issuing a threat?]

[I suspect you’re not suspecting at all.]

[You’re still calling it a firework?!]

[It’s called firework if it remains in the sky. It’s called doomsday if it hits the ground.]

[Thank you for the fireworks, host. I had my secretary think that it was the end of the world and confessed to her. In the end, she fearlessly said these three words to me—Get lost, fool.]

[A silent prayer for the brother above…]

As the diffusion of the sphere of light reached its end, the densely packed streaks of light also gradually thinned out and changed into a more permanent light source that illuminated the eastern hemisphere.

Meanwhile, after overcoming their initial shock and seeing no danger, the crowd in the plaza underneath Chen Yu gradually cal
