"Then, We Launch a Full-Scale Assault on the Zerg-Occupied

Planet"

At this moment;

The belly armor plates of the two Emperor-class Battleships slowly slid open, revealing hundreds of large hive-like launch silos. Accompanied by a silent hum like a Mechanicus hymn, a total of 244 giant metal prisms were ejected.

The surfaces of these kilometer-long hexagonal pillars were etched with ancient Forerunner runes, gleaming with an ominous cyan-blue luster beneath the starlight.

They deployed in formations with nanosecond precision, constructing two perfect diamond matrices in space and shrouding New Canaan beneath the shadow of geometric death.

"Matrix charging initiated."

The gunners' report echoed across the bridges of both Emperor-class ships.

The void between the prisms suddenly warped, visible arcs of energy leaping from pillar to pillar.

As the charging process crossed the critical threshold, the entire matrix abruptly flared with blinding white light—

That was no ordinary light, but the destructive radiance released by forcibly tearing space apart.

Then—

Whoosh—whoosh—!!!

Two Matrix Beams more than fifty kilometers in diameter pierced the atmosphere simultaneously, ionizing all air along their paths into plasma.

The instant the beams struck, New Canaan's crust underwent a horrifying transformation.

The continental plates began to "soften" like heated glass, while trillions of tons of rock vaporized outright.

Under the bombardment of ultra-high energy, mantle material erupted into lava fountains thousands of kilometers wide. Crimson magma was hurled hundreds of kilometers into the thermosphere, while the oceans evaporated at a visible rate. The once-blue waters vanished completely, and the destructive shockwave from the explosion tore apart the remaining atmosphere.

The planet's core suffered the most spectacular devastation.

The two Matrix Beams converged at the planet's center, heating its iron-nickel core to supernova-level temperatures. New Canaan began to swell like a punctured balloon, countless lava mountain ranges dozens of kilometers high rising across its crust before collapsing into
