This was not the end. The moment the massive cannon stopped supplying power, the gravitational beams that had been held firmly in check suddenly collapsed. The surrounding warships were caught in the fallout, their hulls torn apart by the berserk gravity before they detonated.
The violent Gravitational Distortion warped the space-time around it. Every warship caught in the blast was like some poor soul tossed around in a washing machine drum, ripped apart by the chaotic Spatial Waves and blown to pieces.
Amid the aftermath of the gravitational beams, a spectacular sight unfolded. As the beams spread, their wake twisted space, and countless warships burst into flames like fireworks, exploding on the spot.
By the time the Gravitational Waves had completely dissipated, the once-immaculate Mechanical Fleet had been scattered to the winds. A trumpet-shaped void, 70,000 to 80,000 kilometers across, now gaped in space.
"At least 1.2 million warships have been destroyed!" Lin Zhichen quickly assessed. The figure sent a chill through him.
It was nowhere near as powerful as a Black Hole Bomb, but this was a conventional weapon. It required neither the former's complicated production technology nor any advance preparation. It could be fired whenever needed.
What was more, the Gravity Beam could travel dozens of light-seconds. If it struck a planet, it would immediately destroy the structure of the celestial body, tearing the entire world apart into Interstellar Dust. A smaller star hit by it would likely go Supernova on the spot.
Most importantly, once the Gravity Beam dissipated, its powerful Gravitational Waves spread out and knocked the fleet straight out of Warp Travel. The distorted, chaotic space was like a massive pileup on a highway: countless warships, jolted by the Gravitational Waves, crashed into
one another.
Collisions in space were far more devastating than those on
