CHAPTER 449: CHAPTER 278: RESONANCE TORPEDO, PURGATORY BEAM!

Plasma weapons, the same applies. For example, the top-tier weapons on most Star Destroyers are plasma cannons.

This Purgatory Beam is a weapon second only to the plasma cannon, and even if installed on a Level 7 Space Battleship, it is sufficient to serve as the main cannon!

Its scorching heat and energy can vaporize a mountain peak in an instant! Its energy intensity, strike range, and attack distance are much more powerful than the previous plasma aggregation beam, so military scientists have dubbed it the Purgatory Beam.

The three-thousand-meter-long main cannon of the Kai Shan adjusted its direction, aiming at the Black Gold Insect King.

Seeing the main cannon almost as long as itself, the Black Gold Insect King felt a sudden weakness in its heart.

"Do humans have even more advanced weapons?" It actually began to consider retreating.

But now, its speed had already accelerated to 58% of light speed, and turning back at such a speed was impossible in the short term.

So it could only grit its teeth and continue charging at the Kai Shan.

"Resonance torpedoes, second round, prepare." Xu Zhilan shouted, "Main cannon, Purgatory Beam, fire!"

As soon as her voice fell, the plasma accumulated for so long inside the warship was output through the effect of the Plasma Energy Amplification Array from the main cannon!

A plasma beam like flames of fiery hell lit up the space battlefield!

In the face of this terrifying high temperature, all the interstellar dust in front disappeared instantly! When it landed on the liquid metal defense armor of the Alloy Insect King, the Black Gold Insect King felt as if it was inside a constant star!

The terrifying high temperature completely evaporated its proud liquid metal defense armor, and even its surface was pierced with a big hole!

If not for its massive body and intact core, this shot would have been enough to destroy it!

"No good!" When the liquid metal defense armor was breached, hundreds of thousands of resonance torpedoes struck its surface.

The impact resonance tester had already obtained the resonance frequency of its body material and began using mechanical energy to trigger resonance!

"Damn, I’ve been hit!" The Black Gold Insect King calmly analyzed; now it must quickly clear these resonance torpedoes from its surface, or it will end up like the Volcano Giant Beast!

But the previous Purgatory Beam had already severely wounded it, and the human warship was cooling its barrel, preparing for the next attack.

At this point, its surface body had not yet repaired and could not clear these resonance torpedoes.

"If that’s the case, then continue to charge and use the impact force from the collision to destroy them all!" The Black Gold Insect King made a decisive decision; the attack must not stop!

"The resonance torpedoes have attached to the target, increase distance, and don’t directly confront it! Other gunports, harass it!" Xu Zhilan knew very well that the Kai Shan could not withstand the Black Gold Insect King’s collision.

The Kai Shan began accelerating to flee, and after the thrusters overloaded, its speed could also reach 55% of light speed.

Not much different from the Black Gold Insect King, with various weapons interfering.

The Black Gold Insect King found itself seemingly unable to catch up with the Kai Shan?

It finally understood the despair of the human captains earlier; it couldn’t hit back, couldn’t catch up, nor escape.

Now it found itself in a dilemma.

Helplessly, the Black Gold Insect King gritted its teeth, forced a change in direction, and aimed its collision target at another Venus Giant Beast.

As long as it collided, it could utilize the impact force to disrupt the resonance! Thus, there was still a chance to survive!

"Why target me?" The Insect King selected as a target didn’t want to wait for death and began to flee for its life.

"Bastard, stop for me!" The Black Gold Insect King attempted to use the Zerg’s special control methods to control it, but with limited effect.

Within the Zerg, a higher-level Insect King can control a lower-level Insect King.

But both it and this peer were High-level Planet Dominators; although the Black Gold Insect King was more evolved, it had not reached the Planet Devourer level, so it could not completely control it!

In the space battlefield, an unexpected scene unfolded with the Black Gold Insect King pursuing its kin, while its kin desperately accelerated to maintain distance.

The impact of the resonance had already begun to expand; the Black Gold Insect King could feel every part of its body vibrating.

The vibration amplitude was about to exceed its limit of endurance!

It felt the core was agitated, on the brink of exploding!

"Damn, just a little bit more! If I could evolve to the Planet Devourer, these beams and human weapons could never approach me!" screamed the mind of the Black Gold Insect King.

It sent a message to Venus: "My King, I can’t hold on, humans have resonance weapons!"

This message, sent at the speed of light, would take a few minutes to reach Venus.

Yet before the message could reach Venus, the resonance amplitude of the Black Gold Insect King’s body finally exceeded its endurance limit.

Its "indestructible" metallic body began to show cracks, starting with large cracks, followed by rows of tiny ones.

Eventually, there were billions of cracks across its entire body.

Its body began to disintegrate, the special alloy breaking down into molecules and atoms! Such dust, invisible even with the closest space telescope!

Only with an electron microscope could they be seen closely.

And the core of the Black Gold Insect King also developed a crack.

As this core fracture occurred, the energy within it spun out of control, triggering a chain nuclear fusion reaction.

As if tens of thousands of space hydrogen bombs exploded within its body, energy and high temperatures vaporized its entire body.

This Venus Insect Clan commander, after recklessly destroying several human main warships, finally met its nemesis—the Kai Shan!

Amidst the plasma flames in the dark space, it vanished entirely into space!

"The Black Gold Insect King has fallen!" Seeing this scene, the insects were horrified, their most evolved commander turned to dust under human attack!

"Human weapons exceed our endurance range; without a Planet Devourer, it’s impossible to defeat them!"

"Retreat, retreat! Preserve strength, return to Venus!"

"Quickly retreat!" The insects began fleeing into cosmic space, some escaping to Venus, others to other planets.

Unbeknownst to them, all the resonance torpedoes aboard the Kai Shan had been launched, and the Purgatory Beam needed an hour to cool and prepare plasma for the next shot.

If they continued the assault at this time, humanity would surely suffer heavy losses.

But the insects still chose to flee, wanting to return to Venus, where their true "leader" awaited.

With it there, they could make a comeback and completely eliminate humanity!

"Do not pursue; attack from here." Xu Zhilan commanded.

"Has the Black Gold Insect King been taken out?" Luo An rejoiced and shouted, "Everyone, conduct long-range strikes, expand the defense perimeter!"

"Eliminate any Zerg leaving the main group entirely!"
