The Star-Crushing Ship was not a Tier Three technology, but a Tier Four Ascension technology.
And no one understood Ascension technology better than Gao Gong.
Ascension technology could be said to be the only means of bridging the unimaginable distances and spans of time in the universe. It was also the crown of every technology tree. Every kind of Ascension technology was unique, and so was its power.
With a thought from Gao Gong, the mountain-sized bow of the ship began to slowly undergo mechanical transformation, revealing a black-hole-like spatial anomaly. It was not a spatial parameter, but a vortex formed by the frenzied transformation of spatial dimensions.
The three Liberation Society higher-ups finally showed a change in their cold expressions.
Generally speaking, even for a Level Two civilization, achieving "planet-crushing" was not difficult.
As long as one had a way to drill into a planet's core, one could simply carry out a targeted detonation.
It was like how even the strongest brawny man would rapidly lose his ability to fight after being kicked in the groin.
But this level of "planet-crushing," in professional industry terms, was called "planetary blasting." It was merely attacking a stationary target and could not be applied on an interstellar battlefield at all.
True planet-crushing, in the proper sense, involved launching a devastating strike against a "planetary-scale region" within seconds, destroying every living and nonliving thing in that region. Even a carbon-based powerhouse of the fifth or sixth tier would have no way out but death upon entering it.
"Planet-Crushing Mode activating..."
"Hundreds of millions of mechanical transformations complete. Black-hole-level attack energy filling complete."
"Locking down target area..."
"Atomic domain preheating complete. Negative-energy dimension preheating complete..."
In the span of a single breath, the Star-Crushing Ship transmitted a series of commands through Gao Gong's mind.
