Drill That Pierces the Heavens (Second Update)

"Is everything you're saying true?"

After listening to Hawking's account, Rossiu's face was covered in cold sweat, all from being terrified.

He knew all along that the Spiral King wouldn't speak carelessly, and that when the human population reached one million, a crisis threatening all of humanity would inevitably occur.

But he never expected the crisis to be so terrible, so terrible that he couldn't see a glimmer of hope.

"I don't believe what you're saying. Who exactly are you?"

Rossiu looked at Hawking again, his tone somewhat hysterical.

If this were truly the case, then humanity would have no future, so he preferred not to believe it was true and not to believe what Hawking said.

Perhaps, Hawking was just a charlatan spouting nonsense.

He knew that humanity would face crises, but those crises had to be ones they could fight against, crises he had been working hard to plan for all these years to withstand, not crises so hopeless that they were completely insurmountable.

If that's the case, then everything he's done has become a joke.

"Rossiu, calm down!"

At this moment, Simon stood up and patted Rossiu on the shoulder.

"Even if that's true, so what? Are we just going to give in and believe in our Dai-Gurren Brigade?"

Don't forget, our drills are capable of piercing the heavens!

Hearing Simon's confident and firm words, Rossiu's emotions finally calmed down a lot.

The words of this person named Hawking, whose origins are unknown, are already questionable. There's no need to panic. Perhaps these are just nonsense. What Anti-Spiral Race or Human Annihilation System simply doesn't exist.

"Don't believe me? You created a bio-computer using the head of the Spiral King. If you don't believe me, you should be able to verify it tonight."

Hawking instantly understood Rossiu's thoughts, and then said with a smile.

Simon is the best for fighting, but when it comes to governing the city, Rossiu is the best. He has made an indispensable contribution to developing the city from ruins to such prosperity in seven years.

Of course, this guy is sometimes too rational and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals, so he still needs to be taught a lesson.

In the original story, in order to quell public anger, Rossiu directly used Simon, the human's strongest fighter, as a scapegoat, intending to use Simon's death to continue to protect the New Government's position among humans, showing no regard for past relationships.

Later, upon learning of the enemy's strength, they abandoned most of humanity and fled Earth with a small group of elite humans.

He wasn't selfish or fearless of death; he genuinely acted in what he considered the most rational way for the benefit of humanity as a whole. However, his escapism was too extreme, and he was somewhat dictatorial.

How do you know all this?!

Upon hearing Hawking's words, Rossiu was immediately startled, while Simon looked at Rossiu with some confusion.

"Rossiu, using the Spiral King's head to make a biological computer? How come I didn't know that?"

"Simon, now is not the time to talk about this. Let's arrest him first, and we'll know whether what he said is true by tonight."

Rossiu did not explain, but instead ordered the guards to arrest Hawking immediately.

Hawking raised his hand and gently pointed forward, casting Binding Magic that immediately froze all the guards in place.

"Forget it, it'll be too late if we wait until tonight. I'll take you to see it for yourselves."

When the bio-computer made from the Spiral King's head is completed tonight, the human population will also reach one million. At that time, the human extermination plan will be officially launched, and there will be no time to prepare.

In an instant, Hawking appeared beside Rossiu and Simon, and then disappeared from the spot with the two of them.

"This is space!"

Enveloped in an energy shield, Rossiu and Simon looked down at the blue planet and immediately realized they had been taken into space.

"They can survive in space without relying on their Gunmen."

The two were utterly astonished by their current state.

After seven years of research, Earth's technology has become quite advanced, especially in the field of mecha, but its technology in space is still immature.

Even though they had specifically researched space technology to verify what the Spiral King had said, they had only just created a spaceship capable of taking off and exploring the moon.

According to the schedule, it should have been launched today.

"Would you like to see what the moon really looks like?"

Hawking pointed to the moon, which was orbiting the Earth, in front of him.

"The true face of the moon?"

Before Rossiu and Simon could recover from their current predicament, they were once again bewildered by Hawking's words.

Without waiting for their reply, Hawking clasped his hands together:

"Chibaku Tensei!"

The powerful gravity quickly gathered the debris in space together, transforming it in the blink of an eye into a celestial body not much smaller than the moon, which then hurtled toward the moon at high speed.

"What are you up to?"

Seeing Hawking conjure a planet with a wave of his hand, Rossiu and Simon's eyes widened instantly. They were also startled when they saw Hawking direct the planet to crash into the moon.

If the moon were destroyed, it would also have a significant impact on Earth.

Moreover, if the debris from the collision were to fall to Earth, the planet would face a massive catastrophe.

"Don't worry, look!"

Hawking, seemingly unconcerned, pointed to the moon.

The two looked at the moon again, their faces immediately showing disbelief.

"How can they have such a big Gunmen?"

It turns out that just as Hawking's condensed planet was about to collide with the moon, the moon suddenly dropped its disguise and instantly transformed into a colossal mecha, which punched Hawking's condensed planet away. Then, for a moment, it disguised itself as the moon again.

"That Gunmen was once the guardian of Earth, the strongest Gunmen Cathedral Terra Ship created by the Spiral Race. Later, it was captured by the Anti-Spiral Race and turned into the ultimate weapon to punish humanity on Earth."

So don't think you can escape the Anti-Spiral Race by fleeing Earth, because it's simply impossible to escape.

With another wave of his hand, Hawking Shunpo the two of them back to the Commander-in-Chief's office of the New Government.

"Is there no hope for us humans?"

Rossiu plopped down on the ground. What a joke! The moon is so Gunmen, and even the combined Gunmen of all of humanity wouldn't be enough for it to punch.

"Or, we can simply reduce the human population; as long as the human population never exceeds one million, there will be no danger!"

At this moment, Rossiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he had his own plan.

As long as humanity can survive, then sacrificing a portion is worthwhile. Killing a portion of humanity, keeping the human population below one million, will allow humanity to survive.

"Rossiu, how could you think like that? How is what we did any different from what the Spiral King did back then?!"

Upon hearing Rossiu's mutterings, Simon immediately reprimanded him sternly:

"Listen up, Rossiu. Trust me, and trust yourself. As long as we work together, we can defeat even the strongest enemy. We cannot follow the same path as the Spiral King."
