Chapter 192: The Avenger (3)
Nuclear Weapons.
The most powerful weapon created by the old generation of humanity.
A god made by man and the first weapon of mass destruction.
While there have only been a few instances of its actual use, its terrifying potential was well understood. Paranoia drove humanity to produce countless nuclear warheads, though they refrained from using them.
Over time, weapons even stronger and cleaner than nuclear bombs were invented. These left no radioactive fallout in their wake, neatly erasing people and buildings alike.
Thus, nuclear weapons became relics of the past—still powerful, yet outdated and impractical.
Naturally, I assumed this world would have nuclear weapons as well. But it didn’t.
"This world has no nuclear weapons."
It was strange. How could a world with the internet lack nuclear weapons? Quantum mechanics, which is essential for developing the internet, naturally leads to the understanding and creation of nuclear weapons.
The absence of nuclear weapons was an unnatural anomaly. It didn’t take long for me to identify the culprit.
"That? We probably took care of it."
Mr. Powerful—now Ares—spoke up. The information was so old that no digital records existed, making it impossible for even me to uncover. But when someone who lived through that era speaks, records become irrelevant.
