CHAPTER 1040: CHAPTER 1038: EXPLOSION IS ART

"Sidath, what did he say?" Another legion commander from Universe 157 asked.

"He said we should leave everything behind—the ships, weapons, equipment, even the clothes on our backs—and walk away naked." The legion commander named Sidath had a smile on his face that buried a hint of anger.

"Which universe is the opposition from, and what’s their troop strength?"

"It’s the garbage from Universe Seven! Only one legion." Sidath sneered.

"Universe Seven? They don’t even count as the third tier on the battlefield outside the face of the universes, and their single legion dares to come here seeking death?"

"I’ve never heard of their legion’s code number, maybe it’s a newly formed legion, and they have no idea of Universe Seven’s status at all."

"Sidath, don’t underestimate Universe Seven too much," another legion commander said. "Although Universe Seven’s strength is relatively weak, their reputation has grown significantly recently."

"Oh?"

"Their 192nd legion supposedly formed a special operations squad called the Flying Tigers Squad, with just over 600 people. But it’s said that each person in their squad is extremely strong, and their combat power can even match a standard Base City."

"Is that true?" Sidath couldn’t help but be a bit surprised.

"Many Base Cities from universes hostile to Universe Seven have encountered their attacks. So far, any Base City they’ve targeted hasn’t escaped disaster. They’re probably as powerful as Level Seven Peak Life Forms."

"No matter, it’s just a special squad. Such troops are only suitable for small-scale operations unless their entire combat sequence is composed of such people or the whole legion is like that. Otherwise, there’s nothing to fear."

"I understand, I just want to remind you not to underestimate this universe too much."

"Universe 157, all personnel enter combat mode; I want to see what Universe Seven can do to dare challenge us with just one legion!"

"Report, Commander, combat preparations complete; we can engage at any time."

"First echelon, target Universe Seven IPX-001 legion, let’s give them a greeting first!"

"Yes!"

...

"Commander, they’ve launched an attack!"

At a distance of 500,000 kilometers, such a level of combat could hardly be considered different from face-to-face confrontation.

"Activate the Quantum Domain Field!"

"Yes!"

A dense array of Beam Cannons and Particle Cannons appeared instantly at the forefront of the fleet, the dazzling light making one feel as if trapped inside a star.

However, just hundreds of meters outside the fleet, those beams seemed to enter a trap; their energy diminished instantly, and by the time they passed through the domain, barely one in ten thousand remained.

The remaining energy struck the IPX-001 legion’s fleet, but not even a piece of paint was scratched off the warships.

...

"Commander, our attack was completely intercepted!"

"Impossible!" Sidath’s face showed an expression of disbelief.

They hadn’t faced Universe Seven before, but knowing oneself and the enemy is the key to victory, and their database was rich with information about Universe Seven’s warriors and equipment.

Their ships weren’t particularly outdated, but they still had a certain technological gap, and this attack, dare to say, shouldn’t cause heavy losses, but definitely wouldn’t have barely scratched the surface of the enemy.

"What interception method are they using?"

"Unknown. Our attacks weaken to less than one ten-thousandth at a certain distance with their fleet. In our database, Universe Seven doesn’t have such a defense system."

"And the other universes?" Sidath asked, considering that Universe Seven was quite fond of peace among the universes, they had a considerable number of allies, so some technical exchanges were normal.

"Commander, we haven’t found any similar defense on other universes’ warships either."

"How is this possible?" Suddenly, a sense of inexplicable worry surfaced in Sidath’s heart.

...

"Commander, their attacks were completely intercepted, and our ships suffered no damage. Should we retaliate?"

"Is the fleet modification for the Ultra-Fusion weapon completed?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"It’s completed, but currently the power can only reach about 53% of its maximum, further adjustments are needed to increase it."

"That’s enough. Give them a shot and let them taste the big guns. Our Universe Seven doesn’t take hits without striking back."

"Yes!"

"Whoosh!"

A golden beam shot forth at 10% of the speed of light directly towards Universe 157’s warship formation.

"Commander, they’ve retaliated! Only one attack!"

"Hmph, the weapons from Universe Seven are quite ordinary; our electromagnetic shield can completely block it!"

Sure enough, as the beam was about to breach their fleet, the blue glowing shield intercepted the Ultra-Fusion weapon directly.

It was like an insect caught in a spider’s web being firmly trapped.

"Hahaha, trash universe is just trash universe; they only have this level of technology.".

"What is that weapon?" Several other legion commanders looked at the ice-crystal-like Ultra-Fusion weapon with curious expressions, "It’s not a Beam weapon or a Particle weapon, is it an older type of weaponry?"

"Hm? It’s cracking?"

"No, there’s something wrong with this thing!"

Under their gaze, the ice-crystal shell began to crack, and two particles, too tiny to be seen by the naked eye, collided at hundreds of kilometers per second, triggering a fusion reaction. A horrifying amount of energy burst forth instantaneously.

Energy exceeding tens of thousands of times a star’s explosion became an enormous fireball over 200 kilometers across, swallowing tens of thousands of ships.

The ships’ defense systems were utterly incapable of resisting this energy’s impact, and under the extreme heat, the metal hull was melted almost instantly, the warriors only saw a stellar-like glow.

"Report, Commander, Battleship 1 lost contact!"

"Battleship 2 lost contact!"

...

"Battleship 27121 lost contact!"

In less than a minute, 27,121 battleships had been annihilated, with casualties exceeding 400 million!

"What is this thing?" Sidath’s pupils seemed to tremble, looking at the scene in disbelief, such war damage, caused by just a tiny ice crystal?

"It’s that weapon!" A legion commander suddenly exclaimed in horror. "I heard that recently many Base Cities across dozens of universes were attacked by a strange weapon, and a single one could destroy a Base City completely. The lucky few might survive, while the unlucky ones nothing remains, is this weapon developed by Universe Seven?"

"You’ve heard of it?"

"Look it up for yourself!"

Sidath inspected the data in silence, "Extraordinary strike intensity," "extremely large coverage area," "no known defense measures," these three keywords plunged him into deep chill.

"Capable of instantly annihilating Level Seven Life Forms, and even Level Eight Life Forms at the explosion center would be gravely injured. How could such a terrifying weapon exist?"

...

"Report, Commander, this attack annihilated 27,121 enemy warships and over 400 million enemies!" A warrior from the IPX-001 legion said proudly.

"Bang! Explosion is art!" Zhang Menglong once again connected to Universe 157’s communication, "Bro, excited? Tasted my big gun?"

"You... What kind of weapon is this?"

"Italian Cannon, impressive, right?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "I’ll give you one more chance, just do as I said earlier, or next time it won’t be just one this simple!"
