A Spectacular Opening (Part 2)

A Spectacular Opening (Part 2)

The 366-meter-diameter sub-caliber projectile underwent a reaction akin to a mass effect under the influence of hypermatter, then was instantly accelerated to one-tenth the speed of light by terrifying energy and launched in a blinding flash!

Ammunition of this immense size simply could not be manufactured on a planet. The Plague Titan warship directly captured metallic asteroid debris near interstellar mining fields, scanned it to determine its center of gravity, then polished and shaped it before storing it. Even so, this super battleship could carry only five such rounds.

If time were slowed down a thousandfold, one could see that the shield of Space Station No. 6 outside the Trigaliss planet failed to hold for even 0.001 seconds before being shattered. The projectile instantly pierced through the station, and under its immense kinetic energy, the station exploded and scattered apart. Countless fragments of matter were hurled in the projectile's direction by inertia, tearing apart and spraying outward without end, until they formed a debris trail hundreds of kilometers long along the projectile's path!

In real time, everyone saw only a flash of light. Then Space Station No. 6 instantly became a debris trail hundreds of kilometers long, still expanding and spreading at high speed. Every structure, component, body, and object within had been torn into the finest fragments by that horrific kinetic energy. You could not even find anything larger than a finger within it!

Even some nearby ships and fighters around the station were caught in the blast, damaged or destroyed by fragments flying in every direction, suffering heavy losses.

The horrifying sight nearly froze the blood of everyone who witnessed it...

A full half minute passed before screams, gasps, retching, and cries suddenly erupted from all directions... It could be said that this
