===Part 11===

It took only a moment before the unboosted metal Words were scattered through the air.

They traveled a much shorter distance than the projectile fired by a Babel Cannon. Only about 20 miles.

But the Lives of the air, trees, mist, wind, ground, and everything else along that 20-mile path were pierced by the ultra-high-speed bullet.

The bullet flew into the forest park, piercing the trees and ground, raced down a major road, and passed through the giant Brandenburg Gate in western Tiergarten.

From there, it scattered. The bullet began to adapt to the surrounding Lives as it grazed the roads of Charlottenburg, passed below the edge of the dome, and vanished into the sky.

All of this happened in less than a ten-thousandth of a second.

It hadn’t even produced any kind of noise yet. It moved too quickly for anything else to keep up.

It was only observable as a lightning-like flash racing through Germania from east to west.

A line of shimmering heat followed after the light a moment later.

After a few seconds, the air suddenly distorted and produced an indistinct but loud noise.

Then the air exploded.

The air explosion and the metallic impact produced by the metal Words covered the 20-mile line at the same time.

An attack of that speed did not race out like a wave – it caused everything to burst in an instant.

The Lives of the air and land had been converted into a metallic impact, so they seemed to have been struck by a hammer after the shockwave ran through and a 30-yard-wide rip created a 20-mile path.

The troops and tanks waiting in front of Tiergarten, the Brandenburg Gate, and the Grösse Panzers battling on the roads of west Charlottenburg were all blown away by the impact.

The Geheimnis Agency’s main force had been gathering near the Brandenburg Gate after leaving Tristan, so the collapse of the gate damaged them just as much.

The 20-yard-tall stone gate could not withstand the shockwave passing through it, so its inner walls burst into flames while they were blown away by the scattershot hitting it at the center.

Rubble sprayed out, instantly forming a shockwave from east to west.

The air within the dome was split and the shockwave blasted that air skyward. The pressure of that air on the interior of the dome caused electrification that made the interior glow a bluish-white.

A great roar and the crackling of ionization rang loud.

The floating moisture within the dome gathered together and formed rain.

A short but sudden downpour fell within the dome.

A damp wind whipped up and blew across Germania. The wind and rain reached the underground portion of the city too, hitting the cross-sections of the different layers and producing a loud, whistling noise.

It took less than 40 seconds for that noise to fade.

By then, the destruction had left its mark on the ground, buildings, and weapons swept away over 20 miles. Only a powerful wind remained.

The mist was gone and the night sky was visible past the dome.

A nearly full moon floated in that sky.
