From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 732 Faced with an absolute disparity in power, escape was their only and correct choice.
Having completed his colossus transformation, Sui Meng's truly mountain-like head turned slightly, his star-like gaze locking onto the nearest massive blood moon, which was several thousand kilometers in diameter.

The blood moon seemed to sense this sudden appearance, which exuded an aura that it found extremely repulsive and terrifying. Its surface writhed wildly, attempting to gather more powerful energy for a counterattack or defense.

But Sui Meng didn't give it any chance.

He raised his enormous hand, large enough to grasp mountains, and the ten-thousand-meter-long powered spear he held in his hand rose up with it.

On the spear, brilliant golden spiritual energy flowed and converged like liquid, finally condensing at the spear tip into an extremely dazzling spot of light that seemed capable of piercing through the very origin of the universe.
Without shouting or making any unnecessary movements, Sui Meng simply thrust his spear towards the blood moon with what appeared to be a casual, straight thrust.

Buzz—!!!
A magnificent and fiery golden torrent, beyond description, surged forth from the tip of the spear.

This psionic shock was not a simple beam of energy; it contained order, purification, and an absolute power to repel all filth and chaos.

Wherever the torrent passed, even the void itself seemed to be purified and "smoothed out," and the remaining spiritual pollution from the blood moon was instantly dispelled.

The golden torrent struck the enormous blood moon with incredible speed and precision.

At the moment of contact, there was no explosion, but rather a far more shocking sight—

The surface of the blood moon, filled with twisted organic matter and heterogeneous energy, was like ice and snow thrown into a furnace, rapidly "burning" and "melting" under the golden light.

The filthy flesh and blood were purified into the most basic particles, and the distorted structure collapsed under the impact of the power of order. The nauseating scarlet light dimmed rapidly as if it had encountered its nemesis.

It is not just physical destruction, but also "purification" and "incineration" at the existential level.

Within seconds, the enormous blood moon, which had once exuded an ominous and oppressive aura and was powerful enough to obscure the stars, was completely reduced to a spreading and gradually dissipating golden ember by Sui Meng's attack, which contained supreme divine power. In the end, it was completely annihilated in the vacuum, as if it had never existed.

This miraculous scene not only shocked the remaining Blood Moon swarm, but also left a deep impression on all the Imperial Warriors, auxiliary troops, and all humans who could witness it on the battlefield.

!!!

This scene, which far exceeds the scope of comprehension, has a disruptive impact.

The first to be affected is the cluster of blood moons that still surrounds the star field.

Their vast, distorted collective consciousness seemed to freeze briefly at this moment.

If these celestial bodies, formed from ancient corpses, heterogeneous energy, and distorted will, possess a feedback mechanism similar to "emotions" or "consciousness," then what fills their "hearts" at this moment must be extreme surprise, astonishment, and even a trace of instinctive fear.

With their massive size and spiritual pollution, they have devoured and assimilated countless civilizations in countless "cycles." Have they ever encountered an existence that can completely erase them with individual power?

The appearance of Sui Meng, and the divine power he displayed, which possessed absolute order and purification characteristics, completely exceeded their cognitive scope and broke their inherent "harvesting" mode.

Meanwhile, journalists in near-Earth orbit, risking being hit by stray bullets and affected by the energy waves of the Blood Moon, remained steadfast in their "posts," capturing the realities of the battlefield with high-precision cameras, and were plunged into an indescribable shock and astonishment.

Their cameras were originally recording the grand war scene of the fleet clashing with the Blood Moon, a sight that is hard for ordinary people to imagine.

However, when the footage of Sui Meng completing his colossus transformation and destroying the Blood Moon in one strike was transmitted back through their equipment, all the staff who witnessed it, whether inside the space shuttle or in the ground studio, almost stopped breathing.

This……

This is no longer a war on a mundane level.

This is clearly a re-enactment of the ancient legend of a god descending to earth and using supreme divine power to cleanse demons!

That towering, dazzling divine body, that cloak burning with golden flames, that mask as majestic as a demon god, that spear that could summon a purifying torrent with a single swing…

Everything about it is so similar to the images of gods depicted in ancient human legends, and even more impactful!
Science and reason seem so pale at this moment; everything happening before their eyes is forcibly reshaping their worldview.

Despite the unprecedented chaos on Earth in Dead Space caused by the arrival of zombies and the incitement of the Unification Church, with traffic paralyzed and social order on the verge of collapse, the global network backbone, thanks to the information infrastructure built by human civilization over hundreds of years and the deliberate protection of the intelligent AI of the Imperial Warriors, is miraculously still maintaining basic operation.

This is precisely why journalists dare to stay in low Earth orbit; they need to transmit signals back to the ground and tell the world the truth.

At this moment, the network, which has not yet been completely disconnected, has become a channel for transmitting "miracles".

When the live footage of Sui Meng, like a god descending to earth, burning the Blood Moon with a single blow, accompanied by the trembling narration of journalists, spread wildly through various surviving media platforms and social networks, its psychological impact and shock on the surviving people around the world was enormous and immediate.

Panic persists, but it has been mixed with new elements—

A sense of awe and shock, almost religious.

The "ideological earthquake" was most intense, especially among those who had previously believed in the Unification Church or were still confused.

The "sublimation" they had longed for, the "blood moon" they worshipped and regarded as the incarnation or messenger of the gods, were utterly vulnerable before that golden giant.

In contrast, the blood moon, radiating crimson, twisted, and bringing an aura of death and mutation, appears to many as an absolute demon from the abyss.

As for the "golden giant" who stood up to protect humanity and purified evil with his divine radiance, he is more like a true guardian deity worthy of following and believing in!

The faith of many believers began to crumble and rebuild, and the fervent prayers in the streets were gradually replaced by amazement and supplication.

In those deeply hidden, heavily guarded underground bunkers or secret strongholds, the leaders of the Unification Church watched the same scene through encrypted lines, but their feelings were completely different.

They felt no relief at surviving the disaster, nor the shock of a change in faith that the people felt; only a bone-chilling cold and endless fear.

Their "doomsday" has come.

They know better than anyone what they have done for so-called "elevation" and power.
Awakening the primordial divine seal summoned the Blood Moon, indirectly or directly causing the death and mutation of countless compatriots.
How unforgivable these crimes must be in the eyes of a "god" with such great power who seems to represent order and light?

They had no doubt that everything they did could not possibly escape the eyes of a "god".

Despair, like a cold, venomous snake, coiled around their hearts.

At the eye of the storm, under the watchful eyes of countless people, Sui Meng's will was pure and focused. He paid no attention to the panic of the Unification Church, nor did he care how the humans in Dead Space viewed his godlike posture.

His entire focus was on the blood moon that still threatened the fleet, Earth, and human civilization.

After completing the initial shocking attack, Sui Meng's massive divine body did not stop.

He was like an ancient deity walking among the stars, once again wielding that ten-thousand-meter-long spear.

This time, it's no longer a precise strike against a single target, but a much larger-scale, wide-ranging cleanup.

As the spears were swung, waves of psionic energy, like golden tides, spread outwards. These "psionic tides" seemed to possess their own consciousness, precisely bypassing the Imperial Warriors' ships. Like warm sunlight melting ice and snow, or sacred flames burning away filth, they purified all the blood moon fragments, small blood moons, and even medium-sized blood moons they touched in their path.

At the same time, the Imperial Army fleet seized this opportunity.

Inspired by the supreme divine power displayed by the Primarch, the firepower output of all ships seemed to have increased to a new level.

The array of light spears unleashed a saturation barrage, the macro cannon ammunition poured forth as if it were free, and the torpedo swarm formed a devastating strike network, perfectly coordinating with the psionic tide released by Sui Meng.

Golden psionic energy purified the essence of the Blood Moon, while the Empire's steel torrent was responsible for completely shattering its physical structure.

Under this double blow, the battle situation became one-sided.

Almost instantly, the dense cluster of blood moons that had obscured the starry sky shrank dramatically at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Blood moons, one after another, "wailed" amidst the golden light and scorching gunfire. If they could make a sound, they would disintegrate and annihilate.

Within the star field, it was as if a grand purification ceremony was taking place, dispelling the filth and allowing the radiance of order to shine down once more.

The remaining collective consciousness of the Blood Moon finally realized that they had suffered a complete defeat.

They discovered that, in the face of the suddenly appearing golden giant and the well-coordinated, fiercely armed fleet, their proud numerical advantage and mental pollution were almost useless. They could not gain any advantage in a direct confrontation, and the only way to stay was to be completely "purified".

The instinct for survival, or rather the "underlying program" to avoid complete annihilation, overwhelmed everything.

The remaining, dwindling number of blood moons ceased their attempts to attack or approach. Instead, they began to change direction, their massive bodies exhibiting highly unstable energy fluctuations, seemingly activating some kind of hyperspace jump or dimensional traversal mechanism, attempting to escape this cosmic domain, now their graveyard, as quickly as possible.

They chose to retreat.

Faced with an absolute power disparity, fleeing was their only and correct choice.

The crimson haze that had enveloped the Earth was rapidly dissipating.

Seeing the remaining Blood Moon cluster hastily flee into deep space, and the distorted jump signal gradually dissipating at the edge of the probe, Sui Meng knew that the main threat at the orbital level had been temporarily eliminated.

With a casual flick of his wrist, he wielded the crescent-shaped spear, dispelling the last wisp of non-existent embers belonging to the purified blood moon.

Immediately afterwards, his magnificent divine body, which was ten thousand meters tall, once again burst forth with an incomparably dazzling golden light. However, this time the light did not expand outward, but rather converged and compressed inward.

The immense spiritual energy and matter that constituted the colossal body rapidly reorganized according to ancient magic, and its mountain-like form shrank at a visible speed in the light.

A few breaths later, the golden light gradually dissipated, revealing Sui Meng's figure in his "normal" state once again.
It was still that extraordinary, five-and-a-half-meter-tall genetically engineered body, clad in magnificent and imposing power armor.

However, a faint golden halo and a divine aura that mortals dared not look directly at remained on the surface of the armor.

He strode steadily across the vast, cold top armor plating of the Renwei Yonggu, the magnetic soles of his boots striking the deck with rhythmic, heavy thuds as he walked toward the nearest airtight valve, each step seemingly on the beat of victory.

Even on the way back to the bridge, his orders were transmitted clearly and unambiguously to the entire legion via neural links and the ship's communication system:
"Announce to the entire military: The orbital threat has been temporarily eliminated."

Units under the Biological Department are to immediately assist the fleet in collecting and recovering as much of the Blood Moon debris scattered throughout space as possible, while ensuring safety. Priority should be given to samples containing active signals or special energy fluctuations for subsequent research and analysis of their nature and weaknesses.

"All units of the Engineering Department shall immediately commence fleet damage assessment and emergency repair operations."

Simultaneously, technical resources will be mobilized to conduct environmental monitoring and purification operations in near-Earth orbit and the upper atmosphere, utilizing all available means, including but not limited to energy neutralization fields, particle collection nets, and targeted radiation removal, to minimize the potential impact of the blood moon debris and residual energy on Earth's ecological environment.

"Ground troops remain on the highest alert level."

Mission Change: From defensive blocking to full-scale sweep and annihilation. All combat units are authorized to carry out indiscriminate elimination of all remaining undead, any non-Imperial certified alien creatures, and all marked heretical units within visual range.

Special note: those still fanatical and unrepentant Unification Church followers have been officially classified as heretics.

To ensure the overall safety of the planet and the integration process, frontline troops are authorized to exercise final decision-making power, acting first and reporting later; upon discovery, they will be shot immediately, using absolute force to completely suppress all acts of resistance.

His voice was cold and resolute, without the slightest hesitation.

In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken. To those who resist and may cause even greater chaos, mercy is cruelty.

After a brief pause, he continued issuing crucial instructions: "Furthermore, the Vanguard's mission is to escort the war maid squad accompanying the fleet to the designated coordinates—"

An underground research facility on the Yucatan Peninsula is attempting to safely recover and preserve primordial divine symbols on Earth.

The objective is to ensure that this object can no longer wreak havoc on Earth and humanity. This mission has the highest priority; all necessary resources are permitted to be used, and it must be completed.

With the Primarch's orders issued, the focus of the war shifted entirely to the surface.

On battlefields across the globe, the situation has changed dramatically.

Without the remote guidance and energy support of the Blood Moon Cluster's massive collective consciousness, the once surging and coordinated army of necromancy seemed to have been instantly stripped of its backbone.

Their movements became sluggish and chaotic. They no longer launched organized attacks on the Imperial Guards' defenses, but instead acted freely and haphazardly, driven by their most basic instincts: a thirst for life and an aggressive nature.
