Alarmed

The flash from the antimatter explosion turned the surrounding sky brilliant white.

For that moment, the sky became brighter than ever before, at least a hundred times brighter than daylight. The abnormal radiance woke the lifeforms near the blast. Realizing that a massive explosion had occurred, many immediately piloted their aircraft and mechs away without hesitation.

Panic spread around the explosion.

The city closest to the blast was the first to suffer disaster.

A terrifying shockwave, mixed with a heatwave, swept through the entire city like an autumn wind scattering fallen leaves. In an instant, all those who had not made it aboard aircraft or found shelter perished in the searing heat, leaving devastation everywhere.

However, the city's buildings were sturdy enough that only some were damaged. Most remained intact and had not been reduced to ruins by the shockwave. Shi Gan Star was not an Oxygen-Rich Planet, so ordinary matter could not burn; the damage came only from the shockwave.

Beep beep beep...

The urgent alarm jolted the Planetary Security Administration awake.

An San had been investigating the attempted murder of Qiao Ge Li. Lost in thought, he was startled by the alarm, and his work fatigue instantly vanished. He hurriedly dropped what he was doing, put on his mech, and left the office. "What happened?"

"Chief, planetary radar has detected a massive violent energy mass." A police officer had already suited up in his mech, his voice grave. "It looks like an Antimatter Bomb explosion. Its yield has exceeded the limits set by the Universe Alliance for use on a planet."

An San's pupils contracted sharply.

A yield exceeding the Universe Alliance's limit meant an explosion powerful enough to destroy a megacity had occurred.

Someone had caused a large-scale explosion on Shi Gan Star.
