Countdown to Fate
"It's B6 Laser Cannon!" an elderly white man with messy hair exclaimed excitedly. "According to the records from Ancient Civilization Ruins, even Interstellar Fleet would find it difficult to equip themselves with weapons of this level."
"Speaker Lin actually obtained a B6-level Laser Weapon from the Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 12!"
Hong nodded. "The fact that the spaceship in Ruins No. 12 was able to maintain the energy supply to the laser channel means that the damage was not too serious. It is our good fortune to have found a single-target attack weapon of this level."
Looking at the mysterious monster raging in the video, Hong was still somewhat worried. "Hopefully, this mysterious monster is not beyond the capabilities of the Laser Cannon."
Suddenly--
A clear female voice rang out. "Speakers, members of parliament, I have some information about this monster."
Everyone in the conference room turned to look.
Hong, dressed in all black, asked, "Professor Wen, what do you know?"
The people present were no strangers to her; they were all top leaders on Earth. They would naturally investigate such a large project as the "World Tree Nutrient Pod," and it was unrealistic to try to keep it a secret.
This is the young and beautiful woman in front of me, and she also has a very important identity: Lin Yan's fiancée.
Wen Zhi'an said, "I learned about this kind of monster from some materials in the Ancient Civilization Ruins. Most of the people here should know that the Councilor Level is only the Planetary level, and the Planetary level is divided into nine ranks. Above that, there are Stellar level, Cosmic level, and only one Cosmic level powerhouse is born among countless planets."
These messages were so shocking that they were not made public; only powerful members of parliament or high-ranking officials in certain countries had access to these secrets.
Some of the war gods and high-ranking national officials present were unaware of this and appeared quite surprised.
"And in the vast universe, there is another terrifying and peculiar existence— the Starry Sky Beast! They are few in number, and any Starry Sky Beast, once it grows up, can reach the Cosmic level and can easily destroy a planet."
Wen Zhi'an stated with certainty, "And this mysterious monster is a devouring behemoth among the Starry Sky Beast!"
"Only such terrifying beings in the universe possess this peculiar ability. Once it devours something, the surrounding Space Twist and severed from the outside world. Within the range of that 'devouring and distorting space,' the metal will automatically begin to decompose, and then it will enhance itself by absorbing the metal."
A commotion erupted in the conference room.
"Could there really be such a colossal planetary beast in the universe, capable of Destruction entire planets?"
"Only one Cosmic level being is born from countless planets, and this mysterious monster can reach the Cosmic level once it grows up?"
"No wonder it wanted to eat the war base!"
They were talking about it.
Even if it's just the tip of the Iceberg of Cosmic civilization, it's enough to shock them immensely!
"Quiet," Hong said.
The meeting hall immediately fell silent, and all the powerful figures looked at Hong.
"I want to know just how powerful this Devouring Beast is? Can B6 Laser Cannon handle it? Is it possible that it's Cosmic level?"
If it's truly Cosmic level, destroying Earth would be effortless, without even a need for resistance.
Wen Zhi'an replied, "Judging from its size and characteristics, it should be Stellar level. However, Starry Sky Beast cannot be judged entirely by the standards of Stellar level martial artists, so whether or not it can be killed is uncertain."
In reality, she doesn't usually have time to learn about these things. This is something she asked Wind Queen's auxiliary intelligence to search the database after watching the video.
After deciphering information from numerous Ancient Civilization Ruins, Wind Queen learned quite a bit. Starry Sky Beast are extremely rare, but even the simplest descriptions aren't particularly mysterious.
Lin Yan spent almost the entire year of 2057 in Tianjing Base City. To him, Wen Zhi'an could be considered the closest person in the world. There was no need to hide things from her that could be explained. Even the Sha Luo Flower had been used as Wen Zhi'an's experimental subject.
Just tell her not to tell anyone.
Hong frowned and said, "The Laser Cannon's attack reaches the speed of light, so the Devouring Beast definitely can't dodge it! But if it's not killed in one shot, it will instantly escape underground and quickly find an opportunity to retaliate and destroy the Laser Cannon, so the first attack is crucial!"
"We must ensure it's killed with a single shot!"
"Otherwise, we'll hardly have any other options."
The B6 Laser Cannon attack is the best method that Earth can think of and possess.
Mohanderson's expression was grave. "To ensure absolute success, I suggest coordinating the attack with a super-high-yield nuclear weapon, and using the B6 Laser Cannon as our trump card. This matter concerns the life and death of humanity, and we must make the most thorough preparations."
He said viciously, "If even the combined use of nuclear weapons and Laser Cannon can't kill this Devouring Beast, then we're just unlucky!"
Everyone agreed that it made sense; the combined power of nuclear weapons and Laser Cannon could create an attack that was the limit of what Earth currently possessed.
If the Laser Cannon attack fails to kill the Devouring Beast, it will be even more difficult to turn the tide with nuclear weapons.
Hong made the decision. "Now release all the videos of the Devouring Beast. We'll decide on the final plan based on its speed and attack methods!"
"Furthermore, all our forces must immediately procure hydrogen and atomic bombs and implement the plan as quickly as possible to annihilate the Devouring Beast!"
Yangzhou City Moonlight Residential Compound.
Luo Feng was out of the virtual space. His parents and family were not at home, and he had to arrange for them to come back as soon as possible.
Through Babata, he learned that the Devouring Beast ravaging Earth were the "Golden Horn Beast," the pinnacle bloodline among the Starry Sky Beast. Even though Babata had followed its master for tens of millions of years, he had only heard of this terrifying Starry Sky Beast.
So I'm very worried that something might happen to my family.
He told his family to stay at home and hide in the Gravity Room if there was any danger. This Gravity Room was used for Planetary level experts to cultivate. The materials were very sturdy, and even Planetary level expert would have a hard time destroying it.
He has adjusted the gravity in the Gravity Room to be the same as that on Earth.
Just as the arrangements were made, news arrived that after destroying all the war bases in North America, the Devouring Beast had quickly flown to Europe and begun to wreak havoc on some important war bases Europe. Asia was next!
Without a war base to stop the Sea Region monsters, countless Sea Region monsters will rush inland! The Base City will directly face the threat of the monsters.
With a speed exceeding 10,000 meters per second, the Devouring Beast could destroy all war bases on Earth in just half a day!
Moreover, the Devouring Beast not only has strong devouring and defensive capabilities, but also possesses Ranged Attack capabilities. Its hooves can easily unleash golden rays to destroy human fighter jets and Laser Cannon.
It wasn't interested in hunting down human armies; it was the Sea Region King level monster that were chasing them.
Therefore, a large number of Planetary level councilors have rushed to the front lines to kill King level monster.
Because of the Devouring Beast's insane actions, the hydrogen bomb attack plan and the Laser Cannon will be carried out within the territory of the Rakshasa Country tonight.
Before the Great Nirvana period, the Rakshasa Country was the largest country on Earth, but in the Base City Era, discussing territorial area was meaningless.
The Rakshasa Country's Base City are all located on the Europe part of its territory, resulting in over ten million square kilometers of uninhabited areas!
A super-powerful hydrogen bomb attack will be carried out right there!
A total of 150 megatons of hydrogen bombs were placed in Hong's "Primordial Era intelligent fighter jet," and 18 other atomic bombs were placed in 18 triangular fighter jets. All of them were unmanned. Apart from the different colors, they were all "extreme models" of fighter jets, and there was no difference in appearance.
The losses in this regard will be shared by all the major powers if the Devouring Beast is successfully killed; otherwise, there is no need to consider this matter.
This was to mislead the Devouring Beast. The tens of thousands of tons of atomic bombs from the other fighter jets were nothing to even the strongest humans, let alone the Devouring Beast. They posed no threat whatsoever. However, Hong's fighter jet, hidden among them, possessed a hydrogen bomb with a yield of 150 million tons!
Hong wanted to use his own fighter jet to carry the hydrogen bomb in order to avoid the long-range attacks of the Devouring Beast's golden light, which only his Primordial-level fighter jet could withstand.
The B6 Laser Cannon is also ready.
"We must succeed!"
It has to succeed!
At this moment, all the highest-ranking personnel in the world, including the five major powers, the Two Great Dojos, and 23 Base City, could clearly see 19 fighter jets flying away from various locations via satellite monitoring. They were arranged in front and behind, and were separate.
All Planetary level councilors on various battlefields were also watching this scene closely, and their access was granted through Communication Watch and other devices to view the live broadcast.
On the screen.
A black triangular fighter jet is rapidly flying into northern Asia, while the Devouring Beast is destroying war bases in the Wilderness Area.
Suddenly it stopped, hovering in mid-air, its dark golden eyes filled with coldness as it stared at the oncoming fighter jet.
"Woo!" It waved its right hoof!
"Burst!"
This black triangular fighter jet is one of the 18 cannon fodder aircraft. According to the orders received by the intelligent system, it is to Self-destruct immediately once the Devouring Beast begins a long-range attack, regardless of the distance!
"Boom!"
In an instant, a "mini sun" appeared in the darkness, enveloping the distant Devouring Beast. A mushroom cloud shot into the sky, and shockwaves spread in all directions like ripples on the surface of water.
In the blink of an eye, the Devouring Beast appeared more than 100 kilometers away.
Detonating a 20,000-ton atomic bomb within a few hundred meters is like a gust of wind to it.
"The second one has arrived."
The scene unfolding here has drawn the attention of the world's highest levels of leadership, and everyone is on edge.
"The second one, it doesn't have long-range attack capabilities!"
"Very good."
The Devouring Beast lost its vigilance to the explosion and instead found it somewhat amusing. It only stretched out its hooves to grab the second aircraft when it flew within 50 meters of it!
Another little sun shines in the wilderness sky, and a mushroom cloud soars into the heavens!
"Woo!" The Devouring Beast felt quite comfortable from the vibrations in its hooves, as if it had received a massage. It was the "Golden Horn Beast," a peak bloodline among the Starry Sky Beast. According to its inherited memories, once it reached the Stellar level, this planet posed no threat to it. That's why it only left the Sea Region after reaching the Stellar level.
Explode! Explode! Explode!
The third atomic bomb, the fourth atomic bomb...
Everyone grew increasingly tense, their hearts pounding, because the final, crucial moment was approaching!
On the right side of the screen, in a Wilderness Area more than a thousand kilometers away, a black metal robot holds a black Laser Cannon in one hand, while nimbly manipulating it with the other. The entire Laser Cannon, which looks like a giant crystal sculpture, begins to gradually emit light, which quickly flows towards the center along the patterns.
The metal robot controlled the giant Laser Cannon, hissing as white light circled the rim of the muzzle, making the entire rim extremely dazzling.
The Laser Cannon is fully charged and ready to attack at any time!
On the left side of the screen, a 10th fighter jet appeared in the sky.
A Blood-Red Triangular Fighter is flying by!
Night.
The Golden Horn Beast flapped its scaled wings gently, flying swiftly, a hint of excitement in its dark golden eyes.
The extremely High Temperature and penetrating particle streams generated by the atomic bomb explosion caused a tingling and itchy sensation in the area where its massive body came into contact with the atomic bomb.
This stimulation to the body gradually accelerates its growth!
"Woo!" The Golden Horn Beast let out a joyful cry as it watched another triangular fighter jet fly towards it!
It was only a year old when it was born, so it can only be considered a child.
Call out!
Fighter jets are like lightning!
"Kill it!"
"It will definitely succeed, it definitely will."
The world's elite leaders held their breath, awaiting the final moment!
Is it survival?
Or death?
Will humanity survive the catastrophe, or be plunged into eternal abyss?
Now!
The black metal robot's red crystal eyes suddenly lit up! A signal was transmitted directly into the Laser Cannon!
Instantly!
A dazzling, brilliant white beam of light shot out from the five-meter-diameter muzzle of the Laser Cannon, reaching its target 1,200 kilometers away— the Golden Horn Beast —in an instant!
Time stands still at this moment!
"Laugh!"
The dazzling white beam of light pierced straight through the head of the Golden Horn Beast! The entire upper half of its head vanished into nothingness!
All that remains is the terrifying gaping mouth and jaw at the bottom, while the nose and even the skull have completely disappeared!
The white beam of light was dazzling. After passing the Golden Horn Beast, it continued straight ahead, then flew into the atmosphere, and surprisingly, it pierced through the atmosphere and shot into the space filled with brilliant stars!
But it doesn't end there!
"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
In the dead of night, a sun appeared, and the sun was dazzling!
Countless people in major Base City across Huaxia witnessed this scene and seemed stunned.
"What is that?!"
How can there be a sun at night?
"Oh my god."
"It's a nuclear bomb! It's a nuclear bomb! It's definitely a nuclear bomb!"
In the dead of night, the entire Huaxia Nation, the European Union Country, and Rakshasa Country were in an uproar!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The Earth's elite leaders were overjoyed. They had witnessed the laser beam blast the Devouring Beast's head off, followed by a massive hydrogen bomb attack that sealed its fate.
The number of monsters that died in the aftermath of the hydrogen bomb, including a large number of monsters in the Wilderness Area on land, reached astronomical figures!
Thunder God was at the headquarters of the Limit Martial Hall with Hong. He immediately burst into laughter and said, "Haha, so what if it's Stellar level Starry Sky Beast? It still died without leaving a trace!"
"Let's go, Brother Hong, let's go celebrate."
Hong was also excited. "Haha, no problem."
Luo Feng was watching this scene through the screen of his Communication Watch, was also overjoyed. As long as the Golden Horn Beast was destroyed, the other monsters could be dealt with by the current strength accumulated by mankind!
Babata's voice echoed in his mind, "I never imagined that the Golden Horn Beast, which your teacher had never seen in his more than 60 million years of lifespan, would be wiped out on your Earth!"
"If only you had a Cosmic level one right now! This is Golden Horn Beast that was just born not long ago; its value is astonishing."
It's a bit of a pity.
"What are you thinking? It's good enough that we can eliminate such a terrifying Starry Sky Beast that has appeared on our Earth. This concerns the lives of billions of people!"
Babata remained unfazed, saying, "With B6 Laser Cannon and such a hydrogen bomb attack, even a mere Stellar level beast would be dead!"
Suddenly, amidst the billowing dust in the scene, a golden light appeared!
"What!"
"How is that possible!"
A golden streak of light suddenly shot out, and the Devouring Beast's head was still just a mouth, with two sharp horns, one long and one short, floating beside it.
The Golden Secret Patterns on the two sharp corners suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light!
Hold head high!
The Golden Secret Patterns on the Devouring Beast's massive body, especially its abdomen and back, lit up, and these golden lights quickly traveled along the runes directly to the Devouring Beast's enormous wings!
Call out!
The Devouring Beast, its head reduced to just a mouth, quickly fled underground!
"Failed?" Hong's face turned pale instantly, and his body trembled.
He suddenly remembered something and immediately roared, "Jia Yi, quick, bring the Laser Cannon back!"
His voice echoed throughout the command channel.
It woke everyone up!
Yes, the Laser Cannon. Although the Devouring Beast withstood this wave of attacks, it is clearly not in good condition. Only by protecting the Laser Cannon can we have any hope of turning the tide!
On the screen, a black metallic robot was seen fleeing rapidly, while in another scene, a huge phantom was depicted chasing it from underground.
"The metal robot's flight speed is 2110 meters per second, the Devouring Beast's pursuit speed is 32870 meters per second, and the distances between them are 640 kilometers, 520 kilometers, and 400 kilometers..."
An emotionless electronic voice kept speaking over the command channel, and everyone's expression changed drastically!
How could that be!
The Devouring Beast's previous speed was only 15,000 meters per second, how could it have become so much faster now!
The ground offered it absolutely no resistance, and it exhibited more than twice the speed it had before!
"It's impossible to be immortal! How could this be!" In the smart space on his wrist, Babata shook his head in shock. "Whether human or animal, the soul resides in the sea of consciousness. Destroying the head means certain death, unless the Spiritual Imprint is integrated into every cell, allowing the cells to regenerate!"
"But it's only at the Stellar level, how is that possible!" Babata shook his head repeatedly. "Could it be a special talent of the Golden Horn Beast?"
It doesn't know either!
Our understanding of the Golden Horn Beast, a Starry Sky Beast, is extremely basic. Nobody knows what its innate abilities are!
Call out!
Swift as lightning!
Almost instantly, a golden horn shot out from the ground, and the B6 Laser Cannon held in the metal robot's hand was still in the process of being prepared.
"Boom!"
The golden horn pierced directly through the exquisitely crafted Laser Cannon, which resembled a crystal sculpture, and shattered like glass with a loud bang. At the same time, the golden horn stabbed into the black metal robot.
The robot, cast from Uranium Metal, is extremely hard.
The robot transformed into a shooting star, was blasted dozens of kilometers through the air, and then silently collapsed to the ground.
Jia Yi's hoarse voice rang out. "The robot's control system is damaged and cannot be recalled, Laser Cannon is also in a state of obsolescence."
"We failed."
Silent.
Silence.
Despair.
Tianjing Base City, General Command Headquarters.
Jia Yi stood by the window, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and then coughed.
Zhu Xi walked over. "Give me one too."
From their perspective, the scene before them only intensified their fear. This was the strongest attack ever launched by humanity, yet it still failed to destroy the Devouring Beast. This meant that humanity was utterly powerless against the Devouring Beast!
Humanity's fate has begun its countdown!
The city in the darkness, and the people who trusted them, were far from realizing that the end was nigh.
"Why did it turn out like this?" Jia Yi's hands trembled as he crumpled the cigarette in his hand into a ball, his face full of pain.
Before today, everything was calm and peaceful.
They had even accumulated enough power to change the status quo, but all their efforts were in vain in a single day!
Jia Yi was overwhelmed by a torrent of regret and pain. They had placed too much hope on this attack, which could be considered the most reliable method.
But in the end, it still failed.
It failed! How could it have failed! How could it possibly have failed!
Jia Yi thought of Lin Yan. After Lin Yan appeared, Jade Marrow, X gene capsule, new Laser Cannon, the Sky Wall Plan, and the World Tree Nutrient Pod were all closely related to him. At the same time, the country took off and humanity rose!
The night, which was about to end, was shrouded in an even greater nightmare!
He remembered Lin Yan handing him the Laser Cannon and the metal robot when he left, saying it was just in case. But less than two years had passed since he left, and everything had changed. How could he explain this to him?
What should we do next?
What should we do next?
Sudden.
A cell phone rang.
The moment Jia Yi looked at his phone, his gaze suddenly sharpened!
He threw away the crumpled cigarette in his hand and hurriedly answered the phone. A young but calm voice came from the other end. "Did you mess it up?"
"It's okay, I'll be right back."
