Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 945: Chapter 51: Star-Destroying Cannon (Supplement)

The Star Destroyer is not Tier 3, but Tier 4 Ascension Technology.

And no one understands Ascension Technology better than Gao Gong.

Ascension Technology is arguably the only means to close the unimaginable distance and time in the cosmos, and it is the crown on every technology tree. Each piece of Ascension Technology is unique, as is its power.

As Gao Gong had a thought, the mountain-like bow of the ship began to slowly mechanically transform, revealing a space phenomenon like a black hole, not space parameters, but a vortex formed by the frenzied conversion of spatial dimensions.

The indifferent faces of the three senior members of the Liberation Association finally changed.

In general, even for a Level 2 Civilization, achieving ’star destruction’ is not difficult.

As long as the method of penetrating the planet core is mastered, directional blasting can be done.

Just like a powerful man, if kicked in the eggs, would quickly lose fighting strength.

But this level of ’star destruction,’ according to industry professional terminology, is called ’planet cracking,’ merely hitting a dead target and unable to be applied in the interstellar battlefield.

Truly meaningful star destruction involves a devastating strike on the ’planetary region’ within seconds, destroying all living and non-living entities in that region. Even Level 5, Level 6 carbon-based powerhouses who enter it will face certain death.

’Star Destroying Mode activation in progress...’

’Billions of mechanical transformations completed. Black Hole-level attack energy fill completed.’

’Area locking in progress...’

’Atomic domain preheating completed. Negative energy dimension preheating completed...’

Just in one breath, a series of commands transmitted from the Star Destroyer into Gao Gong’s mind.

The feeling that even consciousness could be completely annihilated made the three senior members of the Liberation Association finally decide to retreat.

’Life and death liberation, illusion and reality.’

The 87-Level senior member of the Liberation Association named Navi slowly closed his eyes, and in the next moment, his figure instantly died in the 10th layer collection space, appearing in the 9th layer collection space.

Then, the ’Navi’ in the 9th layer collection space closed his eyes again, dying once more.

And so on, the 8th layer, 7th layer, 6th layer, 5th layer... As it looked, these three were about to break through to the outer perimeter of planet space and completely escape to freedom.

The 2nd-layer collection space is exactly the ’Refugee Planet’ showcased by the Collector externally, with a large number of interstellar refugees from the Robert Star System residing in this planet space, some even listed on the Intelligent Species Protection List of the Civilization Council, continuously promoting the ’5th Stellar Vortex Great Kind Person’ name of the Collector to the outside world.

In the artificial atmosphere of this protection planet, three figures appeared again.

Navi opened his eyes, seeming to reflect endless death within them.

’Just one more death, and I can return to the real mother body. The distance of several million light-years, even the strongest interstellar weapon cannot satisfy this attack range. Alas, just a bit short from completing the task target.’

For all members of the Liberation Association, death is merely a new beginning. They will awaken from this false universe and return to their ’real mother body.’ That is the only place of clarity in this world, where they can gain genuine rebirth.

However, in the next moment, Navi’s expression froze. He looked down, and the sea beneath his feet had disappeared; a visibly black vortex was spreading from one end of the ocean horizon to the other, with fiery red lights appearing within this black vortex.

Then in the next moment, Navi’s vision went black, and his figure vanished.

[You killed the Liberation Association member Navi (Level 87) virtual sub-body, Experience +30 million, Mother of Truth favorability -1000]

[You killed the Liberation Association member Gers (Level 87) virtual sub-body, Experience +25 million, Mother of Truth favorability -1000]

[You killed the Liberation Association member Watt (Level 87) virtual sub-body, Experience +30 million, Mother of Truth favorability -1000]

[Your personality -1000]

Along with the disappearance of the three senior members of the Liberation Association, one-third of the planet vanished too.

When the Collector and Gao Gong reached the second layer space, they saw the artificial atmosphere beginning to disappear, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and an unimaginably colossal abyss appeared on the ocean surface. The entire abyss was still spreading toward the planet core. If observing from a larger distance, one could even see the entire Mechanical Serpent Constellation, like an apple with a bite taken out of it, the darkness in the lack trying to envelop the entire apple, with earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, and tornadoes emerging on this protection planet.

”At least a billion species have perished.”

The Collector rubbed his gums, expressing great distress.

It wasn’t the loss of life he lamented, but the money.

”You should be thankful the opponent appeared outside the atmosphere; if they were within the atmosphere, the coverage of the Star-Destroying Weapon would have obliterated this planet along with it.”

”Moreover, being able to destroy three Calamity Level Strong with such a small cost is a fortunate event.”

Tier 3 Top-level Powerhouses, also known as ’Surface Calamity Level Strong,’ meaning on any habitable planet, the destructive force they could unleash could destroy the surface.

Therefore, correspondingly, to annihilate them, one must have similar levels of destructive force.

’The point of Star-Destroying Level Weapons isn’t the ’star,’ but the ’destroy.’’

Legion-level Space Curvature Transfer, Space Jumping Tactics, Planet Gate Tactics; there are various space tactics on interstellar battlefields, usually calculated by light-years. The reason why Star-Destroying Level Weapons are powerful is not just their destructive force but their capacity to disrupt these ’space tactics.’

The Collector shook his head, and once again, a transparent planet appeared on his palm, while he empathetically said:

”I want to save these innocent beings.”

The ’Transparent Planet’ began refreshing. With each refresh, tens of thousands of km regions escaped from the ’Destruction Domain,’ returning to the state before being annihilated.

Similarly refreshed were the species previously destroyed.

Gao Gong watched this scene silently, suddenly speaking:

”The Space-Time Administration Bureau also has such means.”

The Space-Time Administration Bureau repairs massive destruction caused by illegal time-space travel by adjusting the ’timeline,’ and this destruction could be a planet, a star system, or even a civilization.

”I’m not one of those Space-Time Rats,” the Collector revealed a slightly proud expression; Space-Time Rat is the nickname of Space-Time Agents, as they frequently drill in and out of Space-Time Tunnels, hence named ’Space-Time Rats.’

’This Collector’s species is unknown, the combat power not strong, but just relying on such means, it’s no wonder it can survive on the border of two Level 3 Civilizations.’

In the cosmos, powerful technology and capabilities abound. Even with knowledge from two lifetimes, Gao Gong couldn’t recognize which type this means belonged to — Space System? Time System? Creation System?

He knew the opponent wouldn’t disclose their trump card method, so he changed the topic.

”What is the Mother of Truth?”

If it’s negative favorability from the Order Camp, it would only result in cutting ties, ceasing trades, prohibiting entry, without generally escalating to the point of armed conflict.

However, negative favorability from an interstellar terrorist organization inevitably brings retaliation; the so-called gentleman’s revenge, ten years isn’t late, while the villain’s revenge goes from morning till night.

”Mother of Truth, the Cosmic Evil God worshipped by the Liberation Association. They firmly believe everything in this universe is false, and only the Mother of Truth is real. As for the true identity of the ’Mother of Truth,’ it’s widely debated. Some say it’s an artificial technological creation, others say it’s merely a slogan. Anyway, no one has seen the main body.”

”Mother of Truth...”

Gao Gong muttered to himself.

He sensed a familiar aura, Mother of Truth, Memory Mother, is there not a resemblance?

With the Collector’s continuous refresh, the aftermath of the Star-Destroying Level Weapon gradually dissipated, the destruction domain was canceled, and where the original Energy Singularity was located, there were three dreamlike and illusionary radiances.

”What is this—”

Gao Gong only glanced at the opponent, and his own body disappeared, replaced by a human form composed of countless white insect eggs, with numerous insect eggs blooming in the eye sockets, from which many memory worms crawled and fell.

”Hm?”

The Collector looked at Gao Gong with surprise.

This person appeared no different from before, but what was that sudden feeling that made him shudder just now?

Gao Gong smiled at the other, flew forward, and collected those three clusters of radiance.

He couldn’t be sure if it was an artificial creation, but the only certainty was that this thing is the same type of Information Monster as the ’Memory Mother.’

However, at the same time, space warped, and two humanoid figures emerged from it, coincidentally seeing those clusters of radiance. With a casual gesture, they consumed the clusters of radiance into their transparent palms, revealing the flesh beneath as the spatial fluctuations settled.
