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

The sky exploded directly above the tank.

The grayish-white surface of the moon suddenly cracked apart from the equator without any warning.

The massive lunar tectonic plates peeled away in large chunks, like biscuit shells snapped in two by some force. The Earth-Moon gravitational pull collapsed completely at that moment.

The sea levels of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans rose hundreds of meters in an instant. A tsunami hundreds of meters high crashed down, shattering the ruins of coastal cities. A powerful earthquake of magnitude 12 or higher erupted on the surface of the Arctic Ocean. The ground churned like boiling water, cracking open with bottomless fissures.

The remnants of the Xuanwu Company, who had just been kneeling and weeping in the sunlight, were swallowed up by the fissure before they could even utter a scream. The ground closed up, and blood spurted out from the cracks in the rock.

Destruction descended without any logic. This is the absolute oppression of a higher-dimensional matrix arbitrarily interfering with celestial bodies.

Alarms flashed wildly inside the Desolate Wasteland train carriage. The red light made everyone's faces appear deathly pale.

"Gravity field failure!" Xiao Huo's synthesized voice became shrill.

Su Yuan placed one hand on the main control panel, his knuckles turning white, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Planetary-level global force field deflection module, activated."

The command was given. The chassis of the Devourer shook violently, and a dark golden halo swept outwards from the chariot as its center.

The gravity of the collapse within a radius of ten kilometers was forcibly anchored.

The surrounding earth was still tearing and churning wildly, with rocks flying backwards into the sky. Only the ten kilometers around where the Devourer was located had become an absolutely still, black island.

Li Daikui and the surviving veterans lay limply on the ground, their teeth chattering as they watched the mountain peaks being tossed high into the air a few meters away.

"What...what is that..." Wang Hu pointed to the top of his head, his voice completely changed.

The exposed interior of the cracked moon is not magma or a star core at all.

It was a mechanical head larger than the Earth. Countless extremely precise high-dimensional mechanical gears meshed together, and dark matter nerve cords were densely distributed on it like blood vessels.

At the very center of the skull, a massive, monolithic mechanical eye, obscuring the sky, slowly opened. Its lifeless pupil stared fixedly at the Earth.

Jiang Yu knelt on the deck. His once quiet, living metal arm emitted an extremely shrill scream. The skin burst open inch by inch, and black blood spurted onto the ground.

He gripped the floor tightly, veins bulging on his forehead, a hoarse roar escaping his throat: "The left eye...that's the Mother's left eye! Hanging above us for billions of years...the supreme watcher!"

Ji Yun struggled violently in the passenger seat.

The dark red, deep-space light that had just been suppressed in her left eye resonated with it the moment her mechanical eye opened. It flickered wildly, attempting to break through the blockade of the dark blue logic in her right eye.

Two beams of blue and red light battled around her eyes. Strange blood, a mixture of the two colors, continuously spilled from the corners of her mouth.

"We can't let it...see Earth..." Ji Yun gritted his teeth and roared with his last remaining sanity.

"Fourteen years ago... the 'Heaven-Carving' project wasn't an escape at all!" She coughed violently. "The original plan was to hollow out the moon and transform it into a 'concept-level sniper rifle' that could pierce the heart of the Matrix! But now... the moon has been taken over by the Matrix!"

The public channel was forcibly connected from the outside at this time.

The higher-ups in the various underground cities had clearly also witnessed the terrifying sight in the sky. Satellite footage transmitted high-resolution images of the mechanical head directly to their conference room.

The channel was filled with hysterical screams and curses.

"Cancel the 24-hour mobilization order! Cancel it immediately!" A voice with a heavy North American accent roared frantically. "That's a god! We can't win! Hand over the star map! The North American theater is taking three Noah-class ships and leaving the solar system!"

"European side second! Are you crazy?! Go fight that thing? Hand over the Abyss's resources to balance our engines! This is the only chance to preserve humanity!"

Faced with destruction, the politicians of the Supreme Human Council completely tore away their facade of decorum. Their cowardice, selfishness, and greed were laid bare.

Su Yuan listened to the noise from the speaker with an extremely cold expression.

He raised his fist and smashed the physical limiter of the communication microphone with a "bang".

"Little Fire, lock onto those dungeon control centers that were shouting the loudest just now."

"Lock acquired, commander."

"Activate the intergalactic jump engine subroutine." Su Yuan sneered, "Directional spatial folding."

This is the spoils he just dug out of the alien flagship.

On the other side of the world, in North America Underground City 03, thousands of high-ranking officials are gathered in a luxurious underground bunker, busy allocating cabins for escape hulls.

Without warning, the space above the bunker began to distort drastically.

A dark gold concept conduit, remotely launched by the Devouring Wasteland's mobile refining furnace, carrying unparalleled absolute kinetic energy, smashed through a high-strength stratum thousands of meters thick.

boom!

The conduit pierced the nuclear fusion main reactor in Dungeon 03 with perfect accuracy.

Inside the Devourer on the surface of the Abyss, Su Yuan abruptly pulled down the negative pressure devouring lever.

"Drain them dry."

The main fusion reactor in North America's No. 03 underground city instantly emitted a dying groan. The immense energy was forcibly extracted by the conceptual conduit, transforming into a dark golden energy stream that traversed space and directly poured into the core smelting furnace of the Devourer.

Less than three seconds.

The lights in the North American Underground City 03, covering tens of square kilometers, went out all at once. Life support systems stopped operating, and the heating system lost power. Absolute darkness and extreme cold instantly enveloped thousands of politicians.

The shouting on the communication channel came to an abrupt halt.

Su Yuan's cold voice traveled across the global network, striking the ears of every high-ranking member of the underground city.

"Escape? The outer reaches of the solar system are filled with the mother planet's patrol fleets. You think you can just go out and feed the dogs with those junk?"

"From now on, whoever dares to ignite and launch into the air, I'll drain their reactor dry first."

"Throw all the supplies into the Abyss Warp Gate."

"This is an ultimatum."

A deathly silence fell. No one dared to utter a single word of rebuttal. Su Yuan, with the most extreme violence, shattered the illusions of these people who considered themselves leaders of humanity, establishing absolute hegemony.

Five minutes later.

The space in front of the Abyss Defense Line began to fluctuate violently. The various underground cities dared not hesitate for a moment, frantically pouring supplies over using their remaining spatial transmission technology.

Mountains of industrial machine tools, high-energy fusion fuel reactors, and even the remains of super-heavy armor left over from the Pangu base fourteen years ago have piled up into iron mountains on the surface of the Abyss.

The countdown wouldn't wait for them. Su Yuan simply didn't have time for the usual disassembly and reassembly.

"Void Mass Physics Reconstructor, Full Power Activation."

The Devourer's body trembled violently, and thousands of blinding black and gold rays burst forth from its Abyss Annihilation-class black and gold armor.

The light, like living tentacles, rushed directly towards the mountain of supplies.

There was no smelting, no hammering.

The moment all matter comes into contact with light, it is directly decomposed at the molecular level. The massive industrial machine transforms into a storm of metal, and the fusion fuel reactor becomes a pure energy compression pack.

These substances were forcibly dragged back by the light and roughly welded into the hull of the Devourer.

The tank's external shape remained unchanged, but the molecular density of its armor was increasing exponentially. The internal space was being frantically folded, and its weight was so great that even the permafrost of the Arctic Abyss began to crack under its strain.

The mechanical head of the moon in the sky seemed to have sensed the unusual movement below.

The massive mechanical eye turned slightly, its lifeless pupil locking onto the Abyss area.

A silent wave emanated from his pupils. It was neither a laser nor a kinetic strike.

The moment this wave swept across Earth's atmosphere, the sky immediately took on an eerie grayish-white hue.

"Warning! Atmospheric oxygen levels are plummeting!"

"Oxygen molecules are being erased from the conceptual level!"

Outside the carriage, Li Daikui and the surviving veterans had just steadied themselves when they suddenly froze, clutching their throats tightly. Their faces turned purplish-red, as if some force had emptied their lungs, and they collapsed onto the deck, convulsing.

Without any hesitation, Su Yuan slammed his left hand down on the jump control lever in the center of the main control panel.

The "cloud" mark on his left arm burst forth with a dazzling purple light.

The Devourer's engines roared, tearing through space. Ignoring the physical laws of cosmic velocity, it ripped through the void on the spot. The black chariot vanished into thin air on the surface of the Abyss, leaving behind only a massive spatial crater.

The tank's jump triggered violent spatial turbulence, which, like an invisible pair of scissors, severed the atmospheric stripping wave that was heading towards Earth.

The veterans of the Abyss took a deep breath and collapsed to the ground, coughing violently.

The scene changes.

The Moon's near-Earth orbit. A distorted wormhole was directly created in what was originally an empty vacuum.

The Devourer, trailing a burst of purple flames, roared out.

Facing that massive, mountain-like mechanical eye up close, the visual impact was overwhelming. Wang Hu, gripping the machine gun handle, was completely blank for two seconds. Tang Lan's sniper scope could barely fit a tiny gear on the edge of that single eye.

Before they could react, the gray-white lunar soil on the surface of the mechanical head was suddenly ripped off.

Millions of deep-space parasitic mechanical jellyfish swarmed out from the moon's interior. Each of these jellyfish was hundreds of meters long, with tentacles made of pure dark matter metal and tips flashing with high-frequency plasma capable of cutting through armor.

Millions of jellyfish converged in the vacuum to form a terrifying star ring storm, which directly swarmed towards the Devourer.

The space ahead was completely filled.

Su Yuan didn't even touch the weapon panel. He didn't even give the order to fire.

He pressed down hard on the steering lever with both hands.

"Charge!"

The Devourer's Abyss Annihilation-class Black Gold Armor instantly triggered its remodeling properties. The smooth black armor surface instantly sprouted countless dark matter serrations, each several meters long. The entire vehicle transformed into a super meat grinder with no blind spots.

boom!

Without slowing down, the tank crashed headlong into the swarm of mechanical jellyfish along an absolutely straight trajectory.

There was no sound, only the most extreme violence and crushing force.

The dark matter saw blades spun at high speed, shredding and grinding the hundreds-of-meters-long mechanical jellyfish upon impact. High-frequency plasma struck the black-gold armor, leaving not even a scratch; it was directly absorbed by the adaptive armor.

"Refining furnace, open!"

Beneath the chassis, the Star Core Melting Furnace roared greedily. Its immense suction force devoured all the shredded mechanical debris around it.

The Devourer rammed and devoured everything in its path. In this vacuum, it carved out a dark gold blood trail hundreds of kilometers long. Wherever the chariot passed, jellyfish swarms were torn apart, leaving severed limbs floating in space like trash.

Break through the insect swarm's blockade.

Covered in metal scraps and dark golden energy strands, the Devourer crashed heavily onto the far side of the moon.

This is the "Zaotian" Relics Square.

There were no craters, no lunar soil. The tank tracks rolled across the incredibly smooth metal ground.

The surface of the plaza was covered with enormous skeletons stretching for kilometers. Fragments of the expeditionary force's tattered uniforms remained on these bones. Between the skeletons lay a layer of dark red flesh, slowly writhing at a certain frequency—the tissues and organs of the Deep Space Matrix.

In the very center of the square stands a towering bronze gate, weighing tens of thousands of tons. Inscribed on it are eight characters: "Pangu, the Final Project, Carving the Heavens".

The gate was tightly shut, exuding an ancient sense of vicissitude and death.

The mechanical head turned around.

Light condensed in the single eye's pupil, projecting a towering, high-dimensional energy phantom thousands of feet tall directly into the sky above the Ruins Square.

The phantom had no face and was draped in a tattered nebula cloak. It looked down at the Devourer, which resembled an ant.

It didn't raise its hand, nor did it use any physical weapons. It simply opened its mouth, which hadn't been there before.

Electronic sounds resonated deep within everyone's brainstem. This wasn't just sound propagation; it was code being written directly into the underlying logic.

"Verdict announced."

"Define the goal: create low-carbon-based organisms."

"Attribute: Absolute disintegration".

The instant those words were spoken, an extremely terrifying scene unfolded.

The black-gold armor of the Devourer Abyss Annihilation-class ship began to shatter without suffering any attack.

The screws on the close-in weapon system turret, fixed to the roof of the vehicle, turned to iron filings without warning, and the gun barrels were scattered all over the ground. Inside the vehicle, the seemingly indestructible special alloy armor plates peeled off piece by piece like withered leaves.

Even the barrel of the heavy machine gun in Wang Hu's hand was turning into rust at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This directly negates the logic of "combination" at the conceptual level.

"Commander! The tank is dismantling! The physical recombination device is not working! The enemy is tampering with our existence attributes!" Xiao Huo's voice was filled with extreme panic.

If left unchecked, the Devourer will turn into a pile of completely disconnected metal atoms in a maximum of five seconds.

Su Yuan stood in front of the control panel, the "Yun" character mark on his left arm completely boiling over, the purple light even burning through his sleeve, making half of his body look like a demon.

He made no move to back down.

He yanked the Blade of Judgment from his right hand, pointed the blade downwards, and plunged it into the core slot of the Devourer's main control console.

boom!

The rules of the higher-dimensional paradox flowed along the blade and directly into the mainboard of the chariot. Su Yuan forcibly bound his life rules to this chariot that was about to disintegrate.

"Define your mother." Su Yuan raised his head, his eyes fixed on the towering phantom.

A soul-piercing roar erupted from his throat: "Rules are absolutely defined!"

"Defining the Devourer—An Anchor for Eternity!"

Su Yuan's voice mixed with high-dimensional energy, forming an even more domineering set of rules and commands.

A paradoxical gray-white halo, centered on the spot where the Devourer had planted its dagger, exploded along the ground with a deafening roar. The halo swept across the entire Relics Plaza on the far side of the moon, and wherever it passed, the space resounded with a piercing sound of shattering glass.

The disintegration has stopped.

Those screws, now reduced to iron filings, defied all the laws of physics, rising back up from the deck and reassembling in reverse. The detached alloy deck panels were seamlessly reattached.

Under the shroud of a gray-white halo, the Devourer was reassembled into a more refined black beast.

During this brief period of conceptual stagnation.

"Kill him!" Wang Hu roared, his eyes bloodshot, and slammed his fist into the main gun's firing button.

The fully charged Star Piercing Cannon roared. A purplish-gold beam of light shot out instantly, pointing directly at the faceless god's phantom in the sky, trapped in a logical deadlock.

boom!

The beam of light pierced through the phantom's chest, and the immense high-dimensional energy tore its structure apart. The phantom didn't even have time to scream before collapsing in the vacuum, turning into countless scattered energy fragments.

The moment the illusory image of the god collapsed.

In the very center of the square, the massive bronze gate, bearing the inscription "Pangu," emitted a sickening grinding sound.

The gate slowly split open to both sides.

Everyone in the carriage stared intently at the widening gap.

They had hoped to see a conceptual spear capable of piercing the universe and pointing straight to the heart of the deep space matrix. It was humanity's last hope, earned after fourteen years of arduous struggle.

But when the gate was fully opened, all that remained was a desolate abyss.

A colossal pillar of dark matter, stretching from the depths of the moon's core, pierces the vacuum. Its surface is densely covered with dark red array patterns resembling those of an alien deep-space mother planet.

And at the very bottom of the giant pillar.

A human corpse was pinned to a pillar by two thick, dark gold nails.

The corpse was dressed in the tattered uniform of Pangu's first commander. His head was bowed, and his ribs were exposed to the air.

His chest cavity had been completely emptied out and replaced with a pulsating, dark red energy source.

On the surface of the giant pillar, a scarlet countdown is flashing.

28 days, 23 hours, and 20 minutes.

The frequency of the countdown is perfectly consistent with the time of the deep-space mother body's descent on the star map.

In the passenger seat, restrained by her legs, Ji Yun stared at the corpse, the eerie blue light in her right eye trembling wildly. She let out an extremely shrill, desperate scream.

"That was... the first generation..."

She bit her lip hard, blood dripping from her chin: "The Mother not only possessed the spear... it turned the muzzle... around!"

The conceptual-level colossal pillar originally intended to destroy the mother planet is now targeting Earth.

The remains of the first commander-in-chief became the trigger for this world-destroying weapon.

A sense of despair spread like poison through the train carriage.

Li Daikui slumped to the ground, his mechanical prosthetic leg losing power: "It's over... The First Generation is dead, the weapons are gone... even this place has been taken over by the Matrix..."

Fourteen years of perseverance turned into a complete joke. They risked their lives to reach the moon, only to find a guillotine about to execute Earth.

Wang Hu's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and Tang Lan lowered her sniper rifle. Faced with this level of calculation and power, human resistance seemed insignificant.

Su Yuan pulled the Blade of Judgment from the control panel and flicked away non-existent blood from the blade.

He turned around, looked at the group of people crushed by despair, and a cruel and arrogant sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

"It's turned around? That's perfect."

Su Yuan slung the Blade of Judgment over his shoulder and walked to the control panel, the mark on his left arm shining even brighter.

"I'm just worried that this vehicle hasn't been fitted with a decent main gun yet."

"Slow fire, full power." Su Yuan's eyes narrowed, revealing pure madness. "Pull the refining furnace to its limit, get ready to devour it. I'm going to swallow this pillar and those array patterns whole."

"Commander, the energy level emitted by that giant pillar far exceeds the capacity of the Star Core Melting Furnace!" Little Fire's synthesized voice trembled. "If it's forcibly absorbed, the dark matter backflow will directly burst the tank's mainboard!"

Su Yuan completely ignored the system warning and pulled the lever all the way down with his left hand.

The Devourer's engine roared under the strain, and the black chariot transformed into a bolt of lightning, crashing directly into the bronze gate.

The space inside the gate was several times larger than it appeared from the outside, filled with floating high-dimensional debris on all sides. The Devourer brutally smashed through all obstacles in its path, heading straight for that colossal pillar that reached the heavens and the earth.

When they were less than 500 meters away from the giant pillar, the dark red array patterns on the pillar's surface suddenly came to life.

Like veins writhing on a metal surface, they then detached from the column, transforming into thousands of dark red tentacles, each hundreds of meters long, lashing out at the Devourer. Each tentacle, slicing through the vacuum, left a black crack in space.

"Tang Lan! Cut off the thickest nodes!" Su Yuan roared.

Tang Lan snapped back to reality. She bit her tongue, using the sharp pain to force herself to calm down. The sniper rifle was mounted on the firing port, the crosshairs moving rapidly.

boom! boom! boom!

Three gunshots rang out in quick succession. The specially designed armor-piercing bullets struck the energy nodes at the base of the three thickest tentacles with unparalleled precision. The tentacles froze in mid-air before exploding with a deafening roar.

But more tentacles had already entangled the hull of the Devourer.

The black-gold armor emitted a piercing friction sound, its adaptive recombination properties operating frantically to resist the high-dimensional corrosion brought by the tentacles.

"Wang Hu, clear the windshield, don't let them block my view." Su Yuan's eyes were cold as he floored the accelerator.

Wang Hu roared, hoisted the heavy machine gun against the hatch on the roof of the vehicle, and spewed fire wildly, turning the tentacles that were entangled into a bloody pulp.

Fifty meters.

Thirty meters.

ten meters.

With its tentacles covered in tatters, the Devourer crashed heavily into the base of the dark matter pillar.

boom!

The immense recoil caused everyone inside the vehicle to feel their insides churning. But the Devourer remained firmly in place, refusing to budge an inch.

"Refining furnace, plunge it in!"

Beneath the vehicle's chassis, thirty-six upgraded dark gold conduits shot out violently. The drill bits at the tips of the conduits vibrated at high frequencies, ignoring the physical defenses on the surface of the giant pillar, directly piercing through the metal shell and embedding themselves firmly into the pillar's interior.

Extremely violent dark matter energy instantly flowed back into the Devourer through the conduit.

"Warning! Energy pool overload! 200%! 300%!" Xiao Huo's announcement turned into a shrill alarm, and black smoke even began to billow from the main control panel.

The "cloud" character mark on Su Yuan's left arm shone brightly with purple light. He pressed the mark firmly against the control panel, using the paradoxical rules to forcibly act as a valve, controlling this violent energy.

"Swallow it all! Don't leave a single bit!"

The energy inside the giant pillar was being frantically drained. The array patterns on the pillar's surface began to dim, and the tentacles that were still baring their claws outside broke off and fell off like dried-out deadwood.

Just as the devouring was reaching its most critical moment.

The dark red energy source inside the chest cavity of the first commander-in-chief's corpse, which was nailed to the giant pillar, suddenly throbbed violently.

A chilling crimson glow shone in the empty eye sockets of the corpse.

The will of the Deep Space Mother was forcibly awakened by the thieving actions of the Devourer and arrived ahead of schedule.

A booming voice, indistinguishable in gender and devoid of any emotional fluctuation, echoed directly through the ruins square.

"Greedy dust. You've violated rules you shouldn't have."

As the sound arrived, the space around the giant pillar began to fold violently. The thirty-six conduits at the bottom of the Devourer even showed signs of becoming ethereal, and the devouring process was abruptly stopped.

"It's reshaping the underlying logic of this space!" Ji Yun shouted desperately from the restraint chair. "It's turned the giant pillars into 'untouchable nothingness'! Physical extraction is useless!"

Su Yuan stared fiercely at the descending progress bar on the screen.

Draw your sword.

He drew his sword, kicked open the car door, and leaped out of the carriage despite the immense pressure in the vacuum that could tear flesh apart.

Black and gold armor quickly covered his entire body, and he plummeted straight towards the nailed corpse like a black meteorite.

The corpse raised its head, and the deep-space energy source suddenly erupted with a tangible red death beam, aimed straight at Su Yuan's brow.

"Get the hell out of the original body!"

Su Yuan neither dodged nor evaded, gripping the Blade of Judgment tightly with both hands. High-dimensional paradox energy frantically condensed on the blade, transforming into a gray-white blade aura tens of meters long.

With a single slash, he met the deathly light with a devastating blow.

The blade's energy collided with the death ray in the vacuum, unleashing a blinding sphere of light. The paradoxical rule forcibly dismantled the concept of the death ray; the blade's momentum remained undiminished, striking directly at the dark red energy source within the corpse's chest cavity.

Click.

A crisp cracking sound rang out.

The energy source was cleaved in two by a single strike, leaving a bottomless rift. The will of the descending Deep Space Matrix let out an angry roar.

"Since you're nothingness, then I'll define you as a physical entity." Su Yuan used the recoil to land on the base of the giant pillar, grabbed the long nail inserted into the corpse's chest cavity with his left hand, and stuck the mark on the back of his hand directly onto it.

"Rule is absolutely defined."

"Forced anchoring!"

With a sharp shout from Su Yuan, the folded space around the giant pillar was instantly smoothed out. The previously ethereal pillar became solid again.

The suction tubes beneath the Devourer once again exerted their force, this time ten times more terrifying than before.

Rumble.

The colossal pillar, reaching to the heavens and the earth, began to tremble violently, and large areas of its metal surface collapsed. The immense conceptual-level energy, no longer constrained by the deep-space array patterns, was being frantically absorbed by the star core smelting furnace.

The crimson light in the corpse's eyes grew dimmer. The mother's will, which had descended across galaxies, felt an unprecedented sense of frustration and rage in the face of this unreasonable plunder.

"You will become the most lowly food in the starry sea." The Mother's will left behind its final curse.

"I'll burn you as firewood first." Su Yuan sneered, and with a sudden burst of strength in his left hand, he pulled out the dark gold nail that was embedded in the first generation's corpse.

The corpse lost its support and fell downwards. Su Yuan caught it steadily and tied it to his back with a traction rope.

At the same time, the Devourer emitted a roar that shook the entire lunar core.

The conceptual-level colossal pillar that was originally aimed at Earth was now riddled with holes. After the last trace of core energy was drained, the massive pillar turned into countless flying metal powders.

The vehicle of the Devourer burst forth with a dazzling dark golden light.

On the main control screen, a line of brand-new golden data popped up.

"Devour complete."

"Reorganization successful."

"The Devourer has unlocked a brand-new concept-level add-on weapon: [God-Slaying Giant Scythe - Sky-Splitting Main Cannon]."

"Countdown complete."

Su Yuan, carrying the remains of the first generation, leaped back onto the roof of the vehicle.

He looked at the mechanical head in the distance, which was still trying to open its eyes, and pointed his Blade of Sin in the distance.

"Now, the gun is in my hands."

On top of the Devourer, the armor cracked open like flower petals, revealing a massive main cannon that shimmered with a blend of dark red and purple-gold light, slowly rising. Its muzzle was locked firmly on the mechanical single eye in the sky.

"Fire." Su Yuan's voice was icy cold.

Wang Hu grinned maliciously and slapped the fire button.

The main cannon of the Sky-Piercing Cannon was fired.

There were no beams of light, and no energy waves.

The enormous mechanical eye didn't even have time to mount any defense before it collapsed at the level of rules, starting from its center.

Like a punctured balloon, the massive mechanical head rapidly deflated and shattered in the vacuum, eventually transforming into a giant black hole above the moon before completely dissipating.

The far side of the moon is deathly silent.

The Devourer sat silently on the ravaged square. Inside the carriage, the veterans, panting heavily, stared at the monitor on the screen, now destroyed by a single shell, their eyes filled with unbelievable fervor.

Ji Yun sat in the restraint chair, and the eerie blue light in his right eye finally stabilized.

Su Yuan gently placed the first generation's remains on the deck and turned to walk towards the main control panel.

On the star chart, the crimson parent star still pulsates in the depths of the universe, twenty-eight days away.

But now, its vanguard, its eyes, its nails planted on the earth's head, have all been pulled out cleanly.

"Small fire." Su Yuan opened the star map and set the coordinates directly to the location of the deep space mother body.

"Maintenance and repair, inspection of explosive loading."

"Now that the gun is ready, there's no need to wait for it to come and die." Su Yuan stared at the huge crimson planet, a bloodthirsty smile curving his lips.

"Let's go find it."

The engines of the Devourer roared once more. The black chariot, on the far side of the moon, lit up with a blinding trail of flame.

Ahead of the vehicle, the vastness of deep space stretched out. Only the long sword and the cannon stood ready to prove to this universe who the true reaper was. Wang Hu skillfully pulled back the bolt, while Tang Lan polished the sniper scope until it was spotless. Li Daikui and the veterans lined up on the deck, looking at the silent corpse, straightening their broken bodies, and offering a salute that spanned fourteen years.

Su Yuan pulled down the lever, and the chariot soared into the sky, disappearing into deep space.
