Doomsday Bomb Detonated

Sarna's fleet continued forward, utterly unaware that something terrifying was waiting ahead for it to approach.

"Commander, we have covered 87% of the enemy fleet. This is almost the limit!"

"Detonate!"

"Yes, the Doomsday Bomb has begun its detonation sequence. Detonation successful!"

As the weapons officer finished speaking, the surveillance display clearly showed that the dark void had suddenly brightened somewhat, but...

At once, a deep crimson region appeared on the enormous tactical tracking display before them. It continued to spread, already covering nearly half of the bright red area that had represented Sarna's fleet.

"This is...?"

Lavoisier, who had also witnessed the scene, already had a guess in his heart, but he still spoke up, wanting Aierfei to confirm it.

"This is the Doomsday Bomb, a weapon that kills without leaving a trace!"

Of course, Aierfei would not provide a more detailed explanation of the Doomsday Bomb. If Lavoisier mistook it for a biological weapon, then a biological weapon it would be!

At the same time, the scene shifted to the flagship of Sarna's fleet.

Knox Particles did not cause biological beings to die instantly. Even with the Doomsday Bomb's enhanced lethality, it
