The "Survival on the Train" game has bugs, it's really laggy!

The knife tip pierced through the skin on his forehead.

No blood spurted out.

The grayish-white conceptual rules on the surface of the Blade of Judgment evaporated the drop of blood from the material level the moment it touched flesh.

Su Yuan had no intention of destroying his own body.

His wrist, gripping the knife, maintained an extremely stable angle of force. The blade sliced ​​through the skin, but did not pierce the skull. Instead, it violently severed the invisible causal link between body and soul along the sea of ​​consciousness.

This is the ingenious application of the high-dimensional paradox.

In the material world's judgment, the physical body is not dead. But in the search logic of the higher-dimensional will, Su Yuan's "host state" jumps directly to "dead".

A complete and utter paradox.

Inside the kilometer-long life support capsule, the enormous body was unleashing a torrent of spiritual energy capable of possessing billions of beings.

The torrent traversed space and crashed violently into Su Yuan's brain.

As a result, I stepped into empty air.

The anchor point that should have existed has vanished. The torrent of spirit crashed into an absolute, deathly silence of nothingness.

This cross-dimensional failure immediately triggered an extremely terrifying logical backlash.

The pupils of the thousands of newly opened deep-space compound eyes on the surface of the giant body contracted violently at the same time.

puff.

puff.

A series of rapid, explosive sounds echoed inside the life support pod. Thousands of compound eyes exploded on the spot, and thick, black blood instantly stained large areas of the high-dimensional nutrient solution.

A high-frequency, mournful cry that pierced the material world erupted from inside the cabin.

The sound had exceeded the limits of human hearing, transforming into a tangible wave of air that plowed countless blinding sparks into the steel structure of the inner space.

Su Yuan's face showed only the coldness and ruthlessness of a butcher.

"You say it's my clone." Su Yuan spoke, his voice dry and hoarse on the channel, yet it carried a fierce intensity that seemed capable of piercing the sky. "Have you forgotten whose bones the refining furnace recognizes?"

The "cloud" mark on his left arm suddenly reversed.

The purple light that had been suppressing external pollution instantly turned into a torrent of raging purple flames.

Using the blade of judgment pressed against his brow as a lightning rod, he forcibly took over the consciousness channel that was locked due to the backlash.

The torrent that seized the body wanted to retreat.

Su Yuan refused to let it leave.

The left arm armor burst open two latches, and purple flames shot directly into the core circuit of the main control panel along the arm.

"Keep the fire low and turn on the stove."

Deep within the chassis of the Devourer, the mobile refining furnace, which had undergone countless reforgings, emitted a thunderous roar that shook the earth's crust.

Thirty-six dark gold catheters inserted into the outer skin of the main atrium were burned to a transparent state within two seconds.

That's a physical reaction caused by overloading to the limit.

The numbers on the furnace thermometer jumped wildly, instantly breaking through 20,000 degrees.

This is not burning scrap metal.

This is the process of refining a false god with high-dimensional power.

That massive torrent of spiritual energy, along with the high-dimensional energy stored within the giant body, was dragged over by the terrifying suction force of the refining furnace along the invisible causal channel.

The colossal body convulsed violently inside the life support pod. It tried to sever the connection, but the passage had been completely locked by Su Yuan's paradoxical rules.

On the main control screen, the line of dark gold text that had just been swaggering was now displayed: "Return to your rightful place, JY-000 original mother body."

At this moment, it was forcibly disrupted by Xiao Huo's reverse engineering code.

The dark gold dissipated.

The crimson, oversized font, dripping with blood-red light, completely covered the screen.

[Determination: Excess fuel can be recycled]

It's not some lofty creator. In the Devourer's judgment system, it's just a piece of top-grade coal used to power a boiler.

The massive, kilometer-long body, severely damaged, went completely mad.

The pain of being stripped of its higher-dimensional will caused it to relinquish its so-called superior dignity.

Inside the life support capsule, tens of thousands of tons of high-dimensional nutrient solution, emitting a ghostly blue light, began to boil. Countless bubbles churned up from the bottom, and each bursting bubble released extremely high concentrations of deep-space radiation.

boom.

The giant's arms suddenly exerted force outwards.

The hundreds of thick nutrient tubes that were originally inserted into its shoulder blades and spine were forcibly severed. Large sprays of green, putrid liquid gushed from the broken ends, splashing into the transparent bulkhead.

Deep space gravity waves are completely out of control.

This force was no longer limited to the Devourer, but poured indiscriminately into the entire narrow inner space.

The steel beams overhead could not withstand this superdimensional compression. The 30-meter-long special load-bearing column was instantly crushed into lumps of scrap iron by the gravitational wave, and then ground into iron powder indistinguishable to the naked eye.

Iron powder fell from the air.

At the rear of the Devourer, the hatch was wide open.

Li Daikui and more than seventy veterans of the Xuanwu Company were the first to be hit and were directly crushed by the gravitational wave.

There was no room for defense.

Gravity increased fortyfold in 0.1 seconds.

thump.

The veterans were slammed to the floor by the immense force. Several veterans with substandard mechanical prosthetics had their hydraulic hoses burst on the spot, and machine oil mixed with human blood flowed everywhere on the floor.

The cracking and popping sounds of bones unable to bear the weight echoed throughout the carriage.

Li Daikui's chest was pressed against the cold steel plate, his internal organs were so compressed that he felt as if they were about to burst out of his throat. His bloodshot eyes were wide open as he stared intently at the car door.

The previously lifeless flesh and blood guards outside began to stir again under the stimulation of the mother body's gravitational waves. Their muscle tissue mutated under high pressure, and two mutated bio-guards, each over five meters tall, charged towards the rear axle of the Devourer, wielding high-frequency chainsaws at high speed despite the immense pressure.

The rear axle of the tank is the core of the tracked engine. Once it is severed, the Devourer is essentially crippled.

Li Daikui tried to raise the gun, but his finger joints were pressed down firmly by gravity, making it impossible to pull the trigger.

"Company commander, stand back."

A hoarse roar came from the side.

Old Chen.

This is a 14-year veteran who lost his right leg and pretends to be blind in his left eye.

He had just used a machine gun to fire, which had exhausted a lot of his strength, and now he couldn't stand up due to the gravitational waves.

But with his only remaining arm, he managed to push himself up on the armored deck and crawl forward two meters to block the axle's defensive opening.

The two mutated guards had already rushed to within three meters. The smell of chainsaw gears grinding against the air filled my nostrils.

Old Chen did not grab the gun.

His withered, one arm reached directly for the tactical belt at his waist.

There hang three high-explosive electromagnetic mines that were discarded by the expeditionary force back then.

Use your thumb to pry open the safety ring.

"You bastard. I've had enough of living."

Old Chen grinned, revealing his few remaining teeth, and used his back to forcefully push open the side panel of the wheel axle, his body rolling directly off the edge of the carriage.

The gravitational wave slammed him hard into the ground.

It landed right at the feet of the mutated guards who were charging towards it.

Old Chen released the fuse of the grenade.

boom!

The blue-white electromagnetic storm, mixed with the shockwave of high explosives, detonated completely in the narrow gap outside the vehicle.

The explosion at extremely close range tore apart Old Chen's mangled body.

But it also directly overturned the two mutated guards. The electromagnetic pulse paralyzed the motor of the high-frequency chainsaw, and the fragments shredded their bio-organs into a pile of rotten flesh.

Li Daikui let out a gurgling sound from his throat, his eyes widened to the point of bursting, but not a single tear fell; they were all evaporated by the high temperature and pressure.

This is what veterans are like. No orders are needed, no last words are required. They load bullets while alive, and fill craters when dead.

The pressure of gravity continues to intensify.

On the second-floor sniper platform, Tang Lan knelt on one knee. The heavy sniper rifle was pressed firmly into the groove of the firing port.

Blood was trickling from the corner of her mouth. Her internal blood vessels had already suffered minor ruptures due to the excessive pressure.

But she ignored her injuries.

Her right eye, enhanced with higher-dimensional vision, was pressed firmly against the eyepiece of the scope. Her gaze pierced through the chaotic iron dust and airflow ahead, locking onto the base of the kilometer-long life support pod.

Although the giant body was being violently whipped by the refining furnace, its resistance did not weaken; on the contrary, it became even more ferocious.

The law of conservation of matter has been broken, which means there must be a continuous external force at play.

The crosshairs of the scope moved down rapidly.

She saw it.

Beneath the heavy alloy base of the life support capsule, three massive rips were torn in the armor plating.

Three dark umbilical cords, each over thirty meters in diameter and entirely black, are deeply embedded in the rock layers deep within the Earth's core.

Extremely dense high-dimensional deep-space matter is being continuously pumped into the life support chamber through these three umbilical cords, under the suction of the refining furnace.

That is the direct channel between the mother planet and the Earth's core. It is the source of its unbridled arrogance in using gravitational waves.

"Su Yuan!" Tang Lan shouted a stern warning over the communication channel, "Its energy source isn't in its physical body! Look down! Deep within the Earth's core, there's a deep-space placenta!"

Inside the medical pod.

Jiang Yu huddled in the corner under the control panel.

The living metal at the severed end of the right arm was convulsing wildly. The dark golden neural synapses, instead of withering, were growing wildly outwards under this immense pressure.

homology.

His living metal body is essentially a product of Project JY, and the pseudo-god mother body in front of him is the most original piece of the puzzle of this project.

The living metal and the high-frequency mental pollution emitted by the mother body produced a strong synchronous rampage.

Every second, thousands of chaotic killing commands crashed into Jiang Yu's brainstem through the metal synapses.

That feeling is like tearing a person's neurons in half alive.

Jiang Yu gritted his teeth until they shattered, blood dripping from his chin onto his chest.

He did not choose to cut himself off. If this spiritual pollution were allowed to impact the main control panel, the computing center of the Devourer would certainly not be able to withstand it.

He suddenly rolled over and grabbed a sharp bone spur that had grown out of his right arm with his left hand.

The surface of the bone spur is covered with active metal circuits.

puff.

He plunged the bone spur that was growing on his body directly into the physical diversion channel of the backup control console in the adjacent medical pod.

Physical connection complete.

Jiang Yu tilted his head back and let out a scream that was not human.

Using his own flesh and mutated limbs as conductors, he forcibly built a drainage channel between the mother body and the tank.

On the main control screen, the CPU load bar, which had turned red due to contamination, dropped sharply in an instant.

Jiang Yu roared, using the crippled body of a fourteen-year-old boy to forcibly take on thirty percent of the mental pollution load for the tank.

in the driver's seat.

Wang Hu's uniform was completely soaked with sweat and blood.

The gravitational waves pressed down on him so hard he couldn't lift his head.

He simply pressed his forehead against the edge of the control panel, clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, and pushed the two hydraulic push rods controlling the main gun to the absolute limit that the machinery could allow.

creak.

Outside the front of the vehicle, the incredibly heavy star-piercing main cannon emitted a teeth-grinding scraping sound.

The gun barrel, under immense pressure, made an extremely difficult adjustment to a tiny downward angle.

The cannon was not aimed at the giant body in mid-air, but directly at the coordinates reported by Tang Lan—the bottom base of the life support pod.

Deep inside the ammunition depot, an automatic loader completed its final loading action amidst sparks.

That wasn't a regular grenade.

Instead, it was a specially made bullet that the refining furnace had just smelted while simultaneously drawing in the pseudo-god's energy.

"Concept-obliterating armor-piercing projectiles".

The warhead was engraved with grayish-white paradoxical runes, while the core was made of high-purity volcanic lava.

Click.

The sound of a shell being chambered was exceptionally clear in the carriage, a mix of silence and noise.

The deterioration of the external environment has reached its peak.

The glass walls of the life support capsule have begun to show signs of melting under the pressure of gravity and the soaring temperature.

Su Yuan stood on the roof of the car.

The gravitational storm felt like a tangible blade scraping across his body, cutting through his tactical uniform and leaving bloodstains of varying depths.

But he completely ignored these physical injuries.

The mark on his left arm shone at its peak.

"Little Fire, God-Slaying Wings, Full Power Overload Deployment."

boom.

Two dark golden wings, each over a hundred meters long, unfurled behind Su Yuan, braving gravitational waves capable of crushing steel.

The high-dimensional biased force field at the edge of the light wing forcefully cut through the incoming gravitational storm.

Su Yuan slightly bent his right leg and suddenly exerted force.

His stomp caused the heavy armor plate on the roof of the car to dent several tens of centimeters.

Instead of relying on the chariot to move forward, he transformed into a dark golden streak of light and rushed straight toward the thousand-meter-high life support pod ahead.

His speed was so fast that even gravity couldn't track his trajectory.

The two hundred meters were covered in an instant.

Through the transparent bulkhead, the thousand-meter-tall behemoth's more than a thousand bleeding compound eyes turned simultaneously, staring intently at Su Yuan who was rushing towards it.

The stark contrast in body size.

Su Yuan didn't even have the size of the other person's pupils.

However, in terms of momentum, Su Yuan completely held the upper hand.

He gripped the blade of judgment tightly in his right hand.

The concept of gray and white within the blade was fully activated.

It wasn't a blade aura that stretched for tens of meters.

A hundred-meter-long, raging blade aura suddenly surged. The aura took on a pure black color, devoid of any other hue, and the surrounding space was torn apart by this blade energy, creating visible physical fractures.

Su Yuan twisted his waist in mid-air, using the momentum of his charge to slash horizontally with his sword.

The colossal body, thousands of meters tall, raised its arms, attempting to block the attack through the bulkhead.

Too late.

The hundred-meter-long blade struck solidly against the five-meter-thick transparent high-dimensional life support chamber wall.

This top-secret material, which was supposed to withstand bombardment from antimatter cannons, couldn't even last a millisecond against the conceptual-level Judgment Blade Qi.

Click.

A massive crack, hundreds of meters long, exploded in the bulkhead.

Immediately afterwards, the cracks spread wildly in all directions.

Whoosh!

The five-meter-thick bulkhead completely collapsed. Tens of thousands of tons of high-dimensional crystal fragments, mixed with boiling nutrient solution, poured out like an inverted tsunami.

The internal space was instantly submerged by this violent torrent.

Su Yuan did not retreat at all.

He plunged directly into the weightless, viscous liquid.

The colossal body, now freed from the protection of its life support pods, was directly exposed to the air.

It opened its enormous mouth and unleashed a silent sonic attack.

Su Yuan extended his left arm forward.

The liquid metal paradox armor that was originally covering the arm disintegrated instantly at this moment.

It did not scatter, but transformed into hundreds of black and gold chains that alternated between reality and illusion.

These chains ignored the high-dimensional physical defense network surging around the colossal body. They pierced directly through the layers of energy barriers, carrying extremely fierce kinetic energy, and plunged deep into the eye sockets, ear canals, mouth, and nose of that enormous face.

Puff puff puff puff.

The chains went into the flesh.

Deep-space filth gushed wildly from the wound.

The black-gold chain had an extremely precise data connection probe at its tip. The moment it pierced the giant body's nerve center, the core of consciousness directly completed a physical, forced connection.

boom!

A burst of white light suddenly exploded in Su Yuan's mind.

That was not an attack.

That was the ultimate truth, buried deep beneath this body, and completely sealed away fourteen years ago.

There was no encryption, no defense. When the defenses were violently torn apart, all the dirty secrets were exposed.

The scene from fourteen years ago flashed wildly on Su Yuan's retina.

That was the lowest level laboratory in the Extreme Abyss Forbidden Zone.

At that time, Li Xiuyuan, a high-ranking officer of the expeditionary force, and the owner of the compound voices in those loudspeakers were standing in front of a huge petri dish.

There was no so-called Mother Zero in front of them.

There was only a pile of severed limbs and remains of countless fallen expeditionary soldiers brought back from the front lines, and a stinking deep-space embryo.

In order to survive in this seemingly hopeless situation and to obtain a sliver of so-called "evolutionary forgiveness" from the Deep Space Matrix, the higher-ups were desperate.

They personally extracted the best parts of the genes from their fallen comrades.

Then, these genes, soaked in human blood, were forcibly injected into that deep-space embryo.

Repeated rejections.

Erasing time and time again.

Ultimately, this seemingly perfect body was created, but in reality, it was full of deformities and malice.

JY-000 is not the origin of everything at all.

This is a pseudo-god freak created by combining the blood and bones of 140,000 compatriots with alien bastards!

Behind that enormous face that looked exactly like Su Yuan's.

What's hidden is a mocking mask deliberately projected and materialized by the Deep Space Matrix in order to dismantle the psychological defenses of all subsequent JY series clone warriors.

It was never Su Yuan's original form from the beginning.

Su Yuan is neither a container, an extension, nor a shadow of anything.

He is simply himself.

That identical face is just a ghoul disguised as a human hero, used to disgust people!

The faint sense of identity confusion that had been weighing on his heart for so long was utterly crushed at this moment.

The truth is like the sharpest carving knife, removing all impurities from Su Yuan's spirit and will.

The transformation is complete.

There was no longer any hesitation or reservation in Su Yuan's eyes.

His killing intent, like a tangible flame, burned directly into the mother's sea of ​​consciousness along the black and gold chains.

"Serving as a dog for deep space while bearing the bones of the expeditionary force."

Su Yuan's voice triggered a thunderclap in the spiritual dimension.

"You dare call yourself Zero?!"

The voice just fell.

In the spiritual world, there was the "Yun" mark that originally belonged to Ji Yun.

After absorbing this violent killing intent, it completely completed its transformation.

It is no longer a glowing rune.

Instead, it was directly condensed into a giant bronze lock engraved with the military regulations of the expeditionary force.

The giant lock, with immense force, crashed down from above without any fancy moves.

Boom!

Within the mother's sea of ​​consciousness, there lies the core of the deep-space will, imprinted in the deepest recesses.

Like a fragile piece of glass, it was shattered by the massive bronze lock.

An extremely satisfying verdict.

That was the rage that had been suppressed for fourteen years, which was now being released in its most intense and unrestrained way.

outside world.

Su Yuan suddenly pulled back.

Hundreds of black and gold chains, along with large chunks of flesh and blood, were violently pulled from the giant's seven orifices.

He made a clear tactical hand signal in mid-air.

"Wang Hu, fire!"

The front of the car below.

Wang Hu's hands were already clenched until they bled.

The moment he saw the tactical hand signal, he slammed his fist into the launch button.

"Go to hell, you beast!"

The main cannon, capable of penetrating stars, roared furiously.

The entire front of the car was crushed into the steel plate of the ground by the enormous recoil.

That armor-piercing projectile, loaded with concept obliteration and molten lava, flew with blinding flames, precisely traversing a distance of several hundred meters.

The shells did not hit the mother ship's vital parts.

Instead, it flew straight down to the ground and blasted through the gap in the rock beneath the life support capsule's base.

boom!

That was the muffled sound of drilling through extremely thick rock layers.

Followed by.

The concept obliteration rune detonated completely underground.

Three dark matter umbilical cords, each thirty meters in diameter, were instantly severed in two by the devastating force of the molten lava and physical tearing.

A large amount of high-dimensional deep space matter gushed out from the fracture, but could no longer be transported upwards.

The Earth's core energy supply was instantly and completely cut off.

They lost the continuous supply of reinforcements.

The colossal body, thousands of meters tall, suddenly froze in mid-air.

Originally, it was able to withstand the onslaught of the thirty-six conduits inserted into the refining furnace by relying on its umbilical cord.

Now the energy supply is cut off.

The refining furnace's greedy suction force, like a black hole, finally revealed its devastating effect.

The giant body's exterior was originally covered with pale skin that was elastic and capable of protecting against armor-piercing bullets.

It begins to lose moisture, shrivel, and turn grayish-white at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The petrification process started from the chest where the catheter was inserted and spread rapidly towards the limbs and head.

Without the support of higher-dimensional energy, this body, stitched together with genes, would be unable to maintain its enormous size under the basic physical laws of Earth.

Fine cracks covered its entire body.

Splash!

First, several fingers broke off and fell off.

Immediately afterwards, the giant arm shattered into several large pieces in mid-air.

At last.

The refining furnace suddenly reversed direction.

The colossal body, thousands of meters tall, collapsed completely in mid-air.

There was no bloodshed or carnage.

It all turned into a sky full of dark golden, high-density energy sand.

Gravel poured down like a torrential rain onto the front of the Devourer.

All of it was sucked into the feed inlet of the mobile refining furnace.

Inside the train carriage.

The main control screen no longer displays a normal interface.

The entire screen was filled with a waterfall of system notification boxes.

Xiao Huo's cold, mechanical synthesized voice, due to overload and extreme data surge, even exhibited distortion similar to a human's voice cracking with excitement.

"Inflow of extreme energy detected..."

"Energy purity exceeds the threshold..."

"Successfully devoured the origin of the pseudo-god-level mother body!"

"The underlying structure of the mobile refining furnace has undergone alteration and reorganization... Reorganization complete!"

"Refining Furnace Upgrade: [Star Core Smelting Mother Furnace]!"

"Analysis of the false god's core rules complete... Obtained mythical-level tactical component: [Pangu - Deep Space Law Reversal Center]!"

"Absorbing massive amounts of matter to repair the armor... Rebuilding armor density..."

"Vehicle integrity instantly maxed out. Current status: 200%! Over-limit and over-structure mode activated!"

This is a qualitative leap.

This is the most crucial step the Devourer has taken from being a wasteland scavenging train to becoming the ultimate weapon capable of truly challenging the gods on the interstellar battlefield.

Every inch of the armor shimmered with a dark golden light. The roar emanating from the chassis carried a sense of overwhelming weight.

Su Yuan landed back on the roof of the car.

The light wings retracted.

He didn't look at the celebration data on the screen.

The gaze fell upon the core remains of the collapsed giant body.

Among piles of dark gold gravel.

An object, completely unaffected by gravity and not sucked into the refining furnace, is quietly suspended in mid-air.

It was a cube that emitted an absolutely pure white light.

The surface of the cube has no seams, making it so perfect that it doesn't look like a man-made product.

Su Yuan strode over, reached out, and grasped it directly in his palm.

There was no high temperature, only a coolness that exuded absolute rationality.

A system prompt will pop up immediately.

[Obtain the top-secret item sealed away on the old Blue Star: the physical ignition key for the Pangu 001 flagship.]

Beneath the cube lies a severely corroded metal plaque.

On the reverse side of the nameplate were engraved several lines of text. The handwriting was crooked and the edges were stained with dried, blackened blood.

[The last words of Qin Zhao, the first Commander-in-Chief.]

[If you've obtained this, it means the surface world is extinct, and the flagship has fallen into monster hands. Don't try to save us, set sail and ram them!]

The most basic and unwavering obedience to orders.

There was no high-level escape scheme, only the first generation of generals' most resolute act of mutual destruction.

Su Yuan gripped the cube tightly.

at the same time.

The very back of the Devourer's Carriage.

Inside the No. 0 isolation chamber, which was sealed shut by Su Yuan with fourteen heavy metal pins and was in a state of absolute physical stillness.

Suddenly, something unusual happened.

The temperature inside the cabin was maintained at absolute zero.

Ji Yun, sealed in the hibernation pod, should have had his bodily functions frozen at the moment 00:00.01 forever.

But at the moment.

Her tightly closed eyes suddenly trembled slightly.

The white hair moved erratically in the still nutrient solution without any wind.

On the right is the eye that holds Pangu's final instructions, used to combat the anomalies in deep space.

A tiny droplet of liquid water suddenly condensed at the corner of his eye.

Water droplets slid down her pale cheeks.

In an absolute zero environment, the water droplet was instantly enveloped and condensed by the dark blue data code, turning into an ice crystal that shimmered with a faint light.

In the most inconspicuous corner of the main control panel.

The pointer that connects to the vital signs detector in module zero.

It emitted an extremely faint beep.

The number jumped from an absolute 0, but with difficulty and clarity, to 0.001.

It is not a final burst of life before death.

Rather, it was the forced revival of human will that occurred after experiencing the first generation's final words and the destruction of the false god.

however.

The ecstasy and shock of victory didn't even last a second.

The alarm suddenly shattered the quiet inner space.

It wasn't the usual red warning sound.

Instead, it was inside the entire Pangu 001 flagship, which stretches for ten kilometers. The physical alarms that had been buried deep within the ship's hull for fourteen years were simultaneously triggered.

The piercing, dark red alarm lights illuminated the entire blind spot of the Earth's core, making it resemble a blood-soaked hell.

The complete demise of the mother did not bring safety.

On the contrary, it triggered a catastrophic trap that the Deep Space Matrix had pre-set when it was nurturing this false god.

On Xiao Huo's screen, rows of dark red countdown numbers suddenly popped up.

"Warning! Highest level physical danger!"

"Thirty-six hidden high-dimensional energy nodes have been forcibly activated around the Earth's core cavity!"

"Thirty-six dark matter annihilation mines have entered the detonation process!"

"Countdown: 59 seconds."

"Fifty-eight seconds."

This is not a nuclear bomb.

The power of a single dark matter annihilation lightning bolt is enough to wipe most of the Asian tectonic plate off the surface.

Thirty-six missiles detonated simultaneously inside the Earth's core cavity.

The lower half of the Earth will be blown into a cloud of scattered cosmic dust in a second.

The Earth's core collapsed. The planet disintegrated.

What's even more despairing is what's happening up there.

The Devourer's phased-array radar penetrated thousands of meters of ground and detected a terrifying anomaly outside the atmosphere.

The screeching sound from the radar was even more piercing than a nuclear explosion underground.

Those thirty-seven deep-space cruisers that were locked onto Earth's coordinates.

After detecting the disappearance of the mother's signal.

They did not withdraw, nor did they continue bombarding with railguns.

They changed their formation directly in space.

Thirty-seven giant ships, each three kilometers long, were linked end to end, forming a geometric deadlock that encircled the southern hemisphere of the Earth.

"The high-energy reaction has broken the detection limit!"

"The cruiser fleet is working together to release a high-dimensional gravitational cage!"

On the main screen, a real-time simulation of outer space was projected.

A massive hemispherical net of light, woven from pure dark matter gravitational lines, is expanding at a speed exceeding the speed of light, tightly covering the entire continental shelf of the Southern Hemisphere.

They not only want to shatter the Earth's core.

And at the very moment of that explosion, use a gravitational cage to rip the entire landmass and core of the Earth's southern hemisphere off the surface like scooping out ice cream, dragging them back into deep space.

Beneath the ground, thirty-six annihilation lightning bolts capable of shattering planets were counting down.

In space, a high-dimensional gravitational cage capable of scooping up half the Earth descends upon us.

The Devouring Wasteland, which had just slain the false god, along with its seventy wounded veterans inside, was now dead.

They were immediately caught in a double attack, trapped in the very center of a hopeless situation with no chance of survival.

The countdown continues.

Fifty-three.

Fifty-two.

Su Yuan held the heated physical ignition key, standing on the dented roof armor.

His gaze pierced through the endless layers of the earth above, pointing straight to the depths of space. The Blade of Judgment in his hand emitted a high-frequency hum, desperately yearning to drink its fill of blood.
